2023

 

Awareness is the one and only You, the everything within all,

And it has no attachment to any shape, to any existence, whatsoever.

Its indivisible omnipresence-omniscience-omnipotence permeates all totality.

It is the unborn-undying, imbuing all dimensions, all illusions, cultivated by sentience.

If you are to realize the truth of that which eternity is, it must include everything, including You.

There is no need for deities, no need for souls, no need for angels, no need for saints, no need for demons,

No need for belief, no need for scripture, no need for dogma, no need for priests, no need for idols,

No need for worship, no need for prayer, no need for superstition, no need for cathedrals,

No need for heavenly ecstasies, no need for purgatories, no need for infernos.

Awareness is witness to all, and You, a sparkle of that eternal now.

All You need do, is be the solitary witness You ever are,

Without the self-imagery chained to form.

Be the ever-present moment.

Be the awareness.

Be the ineffable mystery.

Be the flawless sentience of eternity.

Be the indelible Self of all selves, of all creation.

 

* * * *

Time is but a concoction of imagination’s perception of gravity’s dust balls,

Angled this way or that, in varying distances from the furnaces of their given stars.

A galactic potion, double-double-toiled-and-troubled-fire-burned-and-cauldron-bubbled.

The natural selection of the mystery playing its Self, by its Self, across its eternal nothingness.

Awareness, in its quantum collider, its laboratory of creation, all outcomes naught but illusory dreams.

And you, that ineffable, intangible, indelible, indivisible, unborn-undying, timeless awareness,

Playing out your little part, in your little dream, all alone, right here, right now, poof.

 

* * * *

Change is a challenge for minds bent on custom, on belief, on habit, on ritual, on convention, on tradition.

To be free of inward constraints, to be unfettered by limitations of human consciousness,

Is not something for which any oracle will find widespread reception.

Paradigm shifts are not instigated by the multitudes,

And revolutionaries often run afoul of swords, not always their own.

 

* * * *

We are all extemporaneous players in this Shakespearian mirage.

We all strike the pose, the attitude, the passion, the given twinkling beckons.

The moment none can help but complete in whatever fashion nature-nurture has allotted.

From royal flush to low card, the hand you are dealt, is the one you must play.

Should you choose to stick around, to enjoy and endure it all, that is.

 

* * * *

Every life form in the six kingdoms is the same indivisible, indelible, timeless quantum matrix mystery.

Every life form in the six kingdoms plays out the nature-nurture of its genetic lottery algorithm.

An archaebacterium plays out its archaebacterium nature-nurture genetic lottery algorithm.

An eubacterium plays out its eubacterium nature-nurture genetic lottery algorithm.

An animalia plays out its animalia nature-nurture genetic lottery algorithm.

A protista plays out its protista nature-nurture genetic lottery algorithm.

A fungi plays out its fungi nature-nurture genetic lottery algorithm.

A plantae plays out its plantae nature-nurture genetic lottery algorithm.

And the inert players – earth, wind, water, fire – the clay of all existence.

Stardust come unto life, stardust born of mystery; natural selection its chisel.

All ever vibrating away simultaneously; all dancing their given places in the sun.

All ever creating, ever preserving, ever destroying; all ever indivisibly unborn-undying.

All ever the same ineffable quantum matrix mystery; all ever the same ineffable eternal moment.

 

* * * *

You are stardust come unto to life, mystery come unto life, eternity come unto life.

Dial into the timeless moment, and all questions, all answers, will become irrelevant.

 

* * * *

This mind-body you imagine yours, is a drop of the quantum matrix,

Streaming like a current through the electromagnetic spectrum,

Flowing through lesser masses; stopped by more solid ones.

Physics is physic is physics; there is no breaking the laws.

And what is the ether allowing it all to happen: Awareness.

We drift like clouds passing to and fro in an untouched sky.

A touchy-feely dream; nothing more, nothing less, nothing but.

 

* * * *

Space and time are illusions, to which there is no direction.

There is no forward, no backward, no right nor left, no up nor down,

Nor any other bearing that imagination might in sensory perception envision.

The quantum dream is always, right here, right now, kaleidoscoping, no direction known.

And You are the centerstage, You are the awareness, You are the witness,

To the ineffable mystery playing out the given sentience.

All that is, all that is not, every moment.

 

* * * *

You are already samadhi, ecstasy, bliss.

All you need do, is be still enough to discern it.

We are all that which is called God by many names.

Each of us exploring our own exclusive matrix of creation.

And why do you need to believe in anything concocted by mind?

Is not just being, enough, without all the nonsense born of imagination?

The infinite ocean is an infinity of drops; how could all this be, any other way?

Without the endless splintering, there would be no existence, there would be no witness.

And it is You, who must endure it all, with all your spirit, very much alone, a light unto your Self.

 

* * * *

It is indeed beyond boggling, to fathom: You are the universe and beyond.

That you are the indivisible, indefinable, unfathomable, indelible, ineffable mystery.

But wrapping your head around it, is as simple as letting go, and wrapping your head around it.

One does not ask for permission to be free; one asserts it, affirms it, champions it, with their entire being.

 

* * * *

Creation is the moment; destruction, the same;

With a kaleidoscoping of eternity’s moment between.

And creation to one beholder, may be destruction in another’s.

The quantum matrix is an ever-morphing playhouse;

All witnessed by the ineffable awareness,

Through the eyes of sentience.

There is no other.

 

* * * *

Science is only is what it is, because of all the technologies,

That awareness, through imagination, has created to measure the cosmic illusion.

The dreamtime, that the electromagnetic spectrum – the quantum stardust, the divine dance, the Shiva –

Has spun into sentience upon this pale blue dot, is a sentience capable of exploring its mystery.

As to the question – whether it is intelligent design or naturally-selected happenstance –

Is it really, worth, all the absurdity, all the horror, our kind every moment inflicts,

Upon one another, all our fellow earthlings, and this very pale blue dot?

We are all the same mystery, come unto the dream of existence;

What narcissism to give it more narrative than that.

 

* * * *

… As real, as it every single moment, every single breath, every single blink, seems …

… Your entire existence – this thing called life – from the cradle to the grave …

… Everything you see and hear and touch and taste and smell and feel …

… Your mind, your body, your world, your cosmos, your dream …

… Is entirely imagined, entirely fictional, entirely illusory …

… Poof! …

 

* * * *

Imagination has thoroughly conquered this garden dust ball.

And thrashed it into a twisted shadow of its naturally-selected, Darwinian purity.

It is a cancer wreaking havoc upon the host, that cannot forever allow its wayward nature to continue,

If Gaia is to survive and blossom anew, in the grand theater of this grand mystery.

The story’s conclusion will never see its campfire telling.

 

* * * *

It is the insatiable ravenousness of the mind, of consciousness, of imagination,

That must be disciplined, be tempered, be controlled, be mastered.

You can pretty much do anything, once and a while.

You cannot do anything all the time.

 

* * * *

You are but a particle,

Wafting to and fro in the sea of mystery.

All of it all the while.

 

* * * *

This moment has been a window of freedom and affluence,

The masses have never experienced in all human history.

And the zenith of that world is in the rear-view mirror.

Oppression and anarchy will dance a perverse duet,

In the scar-tissue of the world we have set afoot.

 

* * * *

Seriously, how much software do you need, how many apps do you use, how many games do you play? Virtual reality has its time and place, and is the dominating stimulus in these our times,

But an existence without a relationship with the real virtual reality,

That mystery from which all this has come to be,

Is a dubious existence, indeed.

 

* * * *

There is absolutely no concoction of consciousness, of imagination, human or otherwise,

That will even for a moment hold fast, in the spaceless, timeless awareness,

Of the ineffable, indivisible, indelible stillness, of eternity.

Quantum illusion is ever quantum illusion;

No matter its hunger for a more,

That has never been, and can never be.

 

* * * *

Imagination creates time, imagination travels time, imagination is time,

And through it all, imagination make-believes it truly exists forever and a day.

Only in the timeless tranquility of awareness, can it be discerned as the perjury it is.

Nothing the busy-busy mind will ever concoct, will ever fathom what you are, and are not.

To be truly free of all its monkey-mind assertions, the no-mind, the unclenched mind, is the key.

 

* * * *

It is the body, the corporeal container, that dies, not You.

The reality is, we were never born, so dying is highly improbable.

You are the awareness, the right-here-right-now, the mystery, of all eternity.

 

* * * *

Time and space are an illusion of consciousness.

We only believe we exist because of a sensory mind-body,

Fabricated by the electromagnetic spectrum, a.k.a., quantum matrix.

Meditation long ago intuited it illusion; science has proved,

We are all very much alone in our own twilight zone.

 

* * * *

Consciousness, cognizance, imagination, memory, mindfulness, insight, intuition,

Can never even hope to be more than a shadow of the awareness,

That is as real as it can ever, will ever, get.

The real and the unreal are a duet of the unknown.

 

* * * *

To follow, to worship, the vain and mighty; why?

When being your Self, in this very right-here-right-now,

Is the 24/7/365 all-accepting alter of what is, is-ing ever along.

 

* * * *

What else can truth be, need truth be, but awareness its Self, pure and simple and free?

Prior to all priors, within all withins, without all withouts, beyond all beyonds, You are.

 

* * * *

You have never been real, you will never be real, in any way you think.

There is only pure awareness, it suffers not, be free, die now, to all of it.

 

* * * *

You may be an extremely complex pattern, but you are a pattern, nonetheless.

Your fated destiny is playing out – ineffably inexplicable as its indivisibility ever is –

As the first moment of creation, spun into being, its magical-mystery matrix of space and time.

 

* * * *

If there is an omniscient-omnipresent-omnipotent, merciful god,

Why would you ever have to pray, to beg, to plead, to hope, for anything?

How would he-she-it not know your every need, your every want?

 

* * * *

Always curious how our kind build ups or tears down,

The many others who chance through the conditioned awareness.

To illustrate it in agricultural vernacular: we till, we prune, we thin, we grade,

And then enjoy the bounty, the harvest, the fruits, of our industry.

And woe unto those who are not deemed worthy.

 

* * * *

In the infinity of all eyes, there is but one witness.

No need to give it any name or rank, other than You.

 

* * * *

We are all dancing in every way imaginable, in the same quantum hologram,

The infinite matrix, of the inexplicable source, that has ever been You, awareness.

 

* * * *

To wander untouched, untroubled, untainted, by the sensory theater,

Is the way of the eternal mind, timelessly witnessing.

As the mind moves, so does the dream.

 

* * * *

You are first and last, with nothing before or between or after,

If space and time truly existed as more than a quantum dream.

 

* * * *

Eternal salvation is about being free of the fell grip of the space-time born of imagination.

The return to nothingness, is the dissolution of all things imagined,

Of all things begetted of consciousness.

 

* * * *

We all get a sensory window, oh-so-mortal, to the mystery all equally are.

All tweaked and twisted by the imaginary conviction,

Through which all things are viewed.

 

* * * *

* * * *

Watching the second hand move, watching the minute hand move, watching the hour hand move;

Watching the world turn, watching the clouds in every shape and size race across the sky;

Watching the sun, the moon, the stars, go round and round, every day the same;

Who-what-why-when-where-how, is the witness doing the watching?

Eternity is ever-present for those who have eyes and ears,

To see and hear the mystery, as it frolics in its quantum infinity.

 

* * * *

Awareness is … right here, right now.

To dub it either infinitesimal or infinite, or anything, actually,

Is to give it a space-time tone that absolutely has no basis in its reality, whatsoever.

Consciousness is but an imaginary wisp of nothingness, wafting through the beyond-expansive expanse.

And humankind playing out its ceaseless dramafest in a pre-determined fashion,

Far grander than the human mind can comprehend,

Lest it doth become it.

* * * *

Has your lifetime of philosophizing, in any way,

Transformed the patterning of your terrestrial mind-body?

Not that you have, in any way or shape or form, ever once witnessed.

Destiny is destiny, fate is fate, fortune is fortune, upshot is upshot, kismet is kismet,

No matter how it is chiseled in stone in the sands of time.

All sentience endures it the same.

 

* * * *

… The mystery of the immaculate, flawless, pristine, impeccable, immortally eternal awareness …

… Prior to all priors, within all withins, without all withouts, beyond all beyonds …

… Ineffable, intangible, indelible, indivisible, unborn-undying …

… Omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent …

… Spaceless, timeless…

You

 

* * * *

The awareness sees.

The awareness hears.

The awareness smells.

The awareness tastes.

The awareness feels.

Long gone before mind remembers it.

 

* * * *

If there is a guiding hand to this mystery, it is the process of natural selection,

Set into motion at the inexplicable, ineffable inception of creation.

The only answer, for those always seeking answers,

Is solitary walks, or staring into space,

Until the mind’s need for answers dissolves.

 

* * * *

The relatively agreeable thing regarding imagination,

Is that you can do absolutely anything the mind might venture.

Angel on high in the lap of some deity; or demon, as low as low can go.

The mind is the magic carpet time machine, that can meander all creation at will.

Far less bother than the real thing can be; especially when it comes to the harsher fantasies.

That so many must twist and destroy other lives, is the wretched absurdity of this planet of the apes.

 

* * * *

Neither You, nor anyone else, can help but play out their destined role.

There is nothing to do, but spontaneous extemporaneous.

Play out every scenario as the moment calls.

Choice has nothing to do with it.

None can do more,

Than surrender to the abyss in all.

Call it whatever you will, it is all You; there is no other.

 

* * * *

Why are you so fearful of it all coming to an end?

Oblivion is the state from whence You came.

Oblivion is the state to which all return.

There is absolutely nothing to fear or dread.

There is absolutely nothing for which to hope or plead.

There is simply eternity, which You are, have ever been, will ever be.

 

* * * *

Is natural selection a function of spontaneity, of autonomy, of self-determination, of free will,

Or simply the continuation of the pattern-selection, kaleidoscoping since the first moment of genesis?

Impromptu, spontaneous, extemporaneous, when viewed from the macro level;

But precisely, exactly determined, at the quantum level.

Has there ever been even one choice?

Is such an unsynchronized flow even remotely possible,

In this ineffable cosmos, absolutely orchestrated, every moment, in every way?

Looking back at your entire existence, what say did you have in anything, that lead you to be reading this?

 

* * * *

The you, you imagine carries on, is not the You, You are.

All forms are but ever-changing, temporal, quantum illusions,

To which only imagination, stimulated by the senses, is witness.

The awareness You truly are, is the omnipresent, immortal actuality.

Humankind’s capacity for delusion is the harbor of all things irrational.

 

* * * *

This ultimate truth is all that really matters in this théâtre absurde.

Everything else is nothing more than quantum illusion.

Everything else is but an imaginary dreamtime,

In which You are voluntary prisoner,

Of your own mind’s design.

There are no chains.

There is only the moment,

And You are as free as You dare.

 

* * * *

You are but a particle, wafting to and fro in the sea of mystery; all of it all the while.

The quantum sea allows every variety of form to play out however it will,

Without parameters, without attachment, without judgment.

Only human imagination, imagines otherwise.

What need for any deity, for any dogmatic entanglements,

Once you have discerned right-relationship, with the mystery’s totality?

 

* * * *

Any given mind is a universe unto its Self;

Unto the awareness in which all forms dance.

In which imagination, imagines an authenticity,

Engineered entirely by the given nature-nurture.

An impromptu performance of genomic design.

To assume it free will, would be a conclusion,

Without substance, in the abyss of eternity.

 

* * * *

The unknowable created the cosmos.

The cosmos created the world.

The world created nature.

Nature created Gaia.

Gaia created humankind.

Humankind created imagination.

Imagination imagined the unknowable known.

Ineffable, indivisible, ineffaceable, unfathomable, immaculate.

And in that knowing, the sense of self was imagined.

And in that awareness of imaginary self, You.

Omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent.

Creator, preserver, destroyer.

Eternity, born into time.

Eternity, imagined.

Awareness, all.

All, You.

There is no other.

 

* * * *

You, Awareness.

Awareness field.

Awareness infinity.

Awareness freedom.

Awareness tranquility.

Awareness indelibility.

Awareness sovereignty.

Awareness absoluteness.

Awareness indivisibility.

Awareness timelessness.

Awareness singularity.

Awareness totality.

Awareness truth.

Awareness joy.

You, Awareness.

 

* * * *

How they always win, how they always rule, how they are always at top of the food chain,

Has been the same tale since long before our\kind migrated out into the plains.

It is the tale of power, of might makes right, of the law of the club,

And who is willing to wield it, with the most savagery.

Submit or die, it matters not to the big ape,

And the minions who serve in every possible way.

The axis of evil is nepotism and cronyism and favoritism.

It is the reality of natural selection since life’s most primordial etchings.

Quantum stardust – morphing, mutating, evolving, dancing – in the mystery of awareness.

The mystery of Self, of the one and only dancer, playing itself alive in every possible way, including You.

 

* * * *

Letters and numbers and notes, and any other hieroglyphs,

Are all imagined, and bound to the mirage of time and space.

The awareness is prior to all; the sky in which all clouds dance.

 

* * * *

Your universe will never be the same once you wander from the first one.

Actually, it has never been the same every moment since your conception.

 

* * * *

Imagination can only imagine itself to be awareness.

That which is prior to all things born of quantum design,

Cannot be grasped by the whimsy of consciousness.

 

* * * *

Whether awake or asleep, a dream is a dream,

And that is all it is, all it has ever been, all it will ever be,

No matter how many memories the imaginary you shores it up with.

 

* * * *

Are you walking alone, paying attention to the given moment,

Or with the cloud of memories rolodexing through the cerebellum?

 

* * * *

If there is movement, there are ripples,

And ripples, and ever more ripples, rippling away.

That is the disposition of the coin of creation and destruction,

With preservation flipping to and fro about the edges.

 

* * * *

How you deal with the kaleidoscoping moment,

Is entirely shaped by the nature-nurture,

You drew in the genetic lottery.

 

* * * *

Humankind is what it is, has always been, and will always be.

Would make sense to just sit and stare at a wall, as to get all twisted about it.

Discerning the sanctity of eternity – to be at peace with the illusion – is a gift to your Self.

 

* * * *

The body is always in the present moment.

Awareness is always in the present moment.

Only imagination wanders space and time.

Only imagination creates space and time.

Only imagination imagines itself alive.

Only imagination imagines itself real.

Only imagination imagines its Self.

Only imagination imagines totality.

Only imagination imagines nothing.

* * * *

The mitote, the chaos of 1,000 voices all trying to talk at once in the mind,

Are always ready and waiting and eager to sally into the windmills of your mind.

How many are playing over and over and over in your head, in the right here, right now?

 

* * * *

The mystery created imagination.

Imagination created deities of every variety,

And plays out ceaseless permutations of vanity and greed.

Its trail of horrors ignores all rationality, all compassion, all munificence.

The mystery, in all its vastness, has no shoulders to shrug.

 

* * * *

Hot or cold, hard or soft, clean or dirty, clothed or naked,

Comfortable or uncomfortable, asleep or awake, seen or unseen,

Engaged or unengaged, self-absorbed or Self-absorbed, it is all the same.

The awareness is equally within every particle of creation.

Omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent.

You are it; it is You.

The other is but imagined.

 

* * * *

Someone who has not got a lot to do, has less time to do it in,

Than someone who has a hectic existence, with so much on their plate,

That any need is added to the list, and done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Yet another peculiar irony in the paradox of all things two-legged in this quantum dream.

 

* * * *

What is creation's beginning but the space of awareness,

Stirring just enough to explode into the quantum soup,

That would eventually manifest into all the forms it,

In any given here now, pervades, including yours.

 

* * * *

Our kind does not deal well with not knowing everything that consciousness can come up with.

It was not the fruit of knowledge, that was plucked in Eden; it was the fruit of imagination,

That was swallowed in full by the tree-dwellers, in whom the mind-spark first sparked.

 

* * * *

Big bang, genesis, turtles all the way up and down, call it whatever you will,

Somehow it began, and somehow it will go on for as long as it does.

What need to speculate about a mystery that can never known?

All who try, only wave their arms about, uttering vague absurdities.

 

* * * *

The clinging to memories, to all that is perceived,

Are just imagination's refusal to let go of any allotted moment,

To let go the existence it believes really happened,

Forever gone as soon as it happens.

 

* * * *

Suspend knowing, forget everything.

Be the awareness, absolutely free.

 

* * * *

The awareness is your magic carpet ride home.

How much closer to God could you possibly be?

 

* * * *

In dissolving the mitote – the chaos of 1,000 voices all trying to talk at once in the mind –

Into the stillness that is real, into the silence that is real, the first and last voice is your own.

 

* * * *

No matter how it tries, no matter what tricks, what fallacies and delusions, it plays with itself,

Imagination, confined to the space and time of its own dreamy invention,

Can never ever keep up with the timeless moment.

Alas that eternal awareness has no time to taunt such a loser.

 

* * * *

No matter how far and wide your pathless walkabout,

You will always find your Self right here, right now.

 

* * * *

This may be the last time,

You ever do that.

Or see that.

Or hear that.

Or taste that.

Or smell that.

Or feel that.

Or be that.

Savor every moment.

It is gone before you know it.

 

* * * *

Let go of everything.

Memories.

Things.

Relationships.

Family.

Friends.

Adversaries.

Enemies.

Power.

Fame.

Fortune.

Desires.

Fears.

Dreads.

Passion.

Sensuality.

Plans.

Concerns.

Cares.

Hopes.

Hates.

Loves.

Problems.

Solutions.

Ideals.

Belief's.

Habits.

Pipedreams.

Dogmas.

Busyness.

Distractions.

Knowledge.

Self-importance.

And any other stirrings of consciousness.

 

* * * *

If you believe I am saying, there is not a supreme deity, think again.

If you believe I am saying, there is a supreme deity, think again.

Back and forth that whirling dervish, as you are inclined.

But the truth is, I do not know, nor do I care.

I Am … What more need be said?

The moment is all.

 

* * * *

The human paradigm is founded on imagination’s usurpation of the eternal awareness.

The young in any clan, any tribe, any culture, only know what came before,

Because imagination requires them to embrace the dreamtime,

It has so diligently, so earnestly, worked to sustain.

The human paradigm would not be what it is without it.

How long imagination can preserve its anomaly, is the question.

 

* * * *

Assuming it is your intention to waylay the usurpation of imagination,

It is all about paying close attention to whatever is going on.

It does not really at all matter what you are doing;

Only that you are giving the eternal now full attention.

 

* * * *

We are all timeless figments of imagination,

Attached to the biology from which the senses peer out,

In an impromptu nature-nurture, matrix-theater of quantum design.

The ineffable, indelible mystery of stardust come to life.

 

* * * *

The entire human paradigm is nothing more than stories born of imagination.

Your story is but a collage of perceptions, all founded on a fabricated frame of reference.

The only story you need to end, is your own; without a story, the incessant inner narration falls silent.

You must let it go, as if it never happened, if You wish to be the eternity You are.

One does not need to forever pretend something that is not real.

Without the story, what is a given moment?

 

* * * *

You were born with no story; what happened that you made up this illusionary tale?

A fable which all seems so real in the streaming moment, but is instantly but a vague memory.

And yet you cling to it real, until the body perishes, and the neuron matrix no longer ignites imagination.

And what you all the while really were, what you all the while really were not, becomes apparent.

 

* * * *

Very possible, very probable, indeed, given its magnitude,

That there are many superior beings in many parts of the universe,

But whether or not there a supreme one, only the most discerning discern.

 

* * * *

The hungers of human consciousness can be insatiable,

If not bound to moderation by an austere, disciplined mind.

 

* * * *

Die to the world, die to the cosmos, die to everything that consciousness imaginations.

Become the sky of awareness, the presence of awareness permeating all and nothing.

 

* * * *

You are every moment, a twinkle of stardust, come unto existence.

Ever an indivisible, indefinable, unfathomable, indelible, ineffable mystery.

How is it, so many give over to the empty speculations and inventions of storytellers?

 

* * * *

Without consciousness, without imagination, without vanity,

You might well be something slimy, or a rock,

And call yourself lucky, to boot.

After all, being an abyss, is eternal fare.

 

* * * *

What a transcendent mystery, for sentience to have evolved,

And somehow further mutated into imagination.

The mystery of the Mystery, indeed.

And will imagination survive itself?

Is a query the moment will never answer,

Until the last twinkle of stardust, twinkles its last.

 

* * * *

Who among us, is able walkabout throughout any given day, any given night,

Without the perpetual pitter-patter of every variability of judgment?

The human paradigm is eternally lost to its tribal instincts,

Very much hinging on the relativity of differences.

To be indifferent to differences, is prior-to-consciousness fare.

 

* * * *

All perception is ever a right-here-right-now illusion-delusion.

Space and time are but imaginary fabrications of the sensory mind,

Trapped in its own nature-nurture labyrinth, evolved of natural selection.

Whether designed or happenchance, dualistic or nondualistic, divine or secular,

Is but conjecture of the ever absorbed, ever agitated, ever busy-busy mind in question.

From birth to death, first breath to last, the ineffable ever remains ineffable.

 

* * * *

Ponder the revolutions it took for a hunter-gatherer species,

Migrating out of the jungles of Africa, to arrive at this moment in time:

… Agricultural … Industrial … Technological … Scientific … Commercial …

Boggling how right Malthus will relatively soon be, as we surge, every instant, ever closer,

To the inevitable edge of our spinning blue marble, hanging-in-space, Petri dish.

What more can you expect from a cancer, bent on consuming its host.

 

* * * *

Explore your limits, expand your limits, and then do the same with the new limits.

The many boxes, in which you ever reside – no matter how many you may punch through –

Are entirely of your own imaginary creation, as patterned by nature-nurture’s quantum programming.

 

* * * *

All life forms are but a one-time seed, a one-time instrument, a one-time vehicle,

Through which the indelible, indivisible mystery of awareness,

Witnesses yet another illusion of creation.

 

* * * *

To imagine you are the mind-body is an error,

All of humankind has over and over and over made,

Since the first seeds of imagination took root,

In the mutations of natural-selection,

In the jungles of so long ago,

But a blink of eternity.

 

* * * *

Look at all those stars in the sky, and me tell, truthfully,

That you believe they are Santa Claus, and the North Pole, Heaven.

And he is Peeping Tom everyone, and keeping an eternal tabulation of demerits;

Casting all upstairs or down, for choices made in an existence,

In which no one has ever had any choice.

He is You; figure it out.

 

* * * *

ChatGPT query: An aphorism about the stillness before time.

Answer: In the silence preceding time, existence finds its breath.

 

* * * *

This right-here-right-now moment is the one and only truth.

How could the mystery be any more; how could it be any less?

 

* * * *

Pure awareness is the thick pea soup of oblivion,

In which space and time have no access,

And imagination is immobilized.

 

* * * *

What is sleep but a mini-oblivion,

Practiced over and over in the given lifetime,

Until the curtain falls, and the Reaper takes another bow.

 

* * * *

Build contentment into your dynamic.

Infuse it into the depths of the awareness You are.

No need to beat your Self up over anything, anymore, anyever.

 

* * * *

How can you be bored? How can you be restless?

When every single moment, is, in reality, exactly the same.

When it is only the degree, the motivation of attention, that changes.

 

* * * *

Yes, there is indeed a supreme deity, and it includes you and me,

And every quantum-dust-filled star and planet and moon and rock and grain,

And the unutterable, ineffable, formlessness of nothingness betwixt and between, as well.

 

* * * *

How boring, oblivion; how could any Self ever say no,

To every form of distraction imagination might devise.

 

* * * *

There clearly is no ‘keeping-a-list-checking-it-twice-be-good-or-coal-in-the-stocking’ Santa Claus deity.

That notion has been patently absurd from the get-go in every culture humankind has spawned.

If some god-word must be used to describe this beyond-boggling quantum matrix,

The concept surely must incorporate everything, including you and me.

There is no need for the banalities of organized religions,

Because we are all very equal witnesses,

To the same ineffable mystery,

Every kaleidoscoping eternal moment.

 

* * * *

Those eyes you are gazing into, those lips you are kissing on, are no different,

Than any gooey protoplasm this stardust world has ever spawned.

It is only imagination, playing out the imaginary theater,

This line of genomic sequencing has ordained.

And You, lead imaginary thespian,

In your production of quantum stagecraft.

 

* * * *

For the eternal stillness, for the eternal moment, to reign supreme,

The imaginary mind must be made whole, must be given over to awareness,

Through complete, utter, unreserved, absolute, total attention.

A level of attention, immortal in nature.

 

* * * *

The cosmos within, the cosmos without; they are the same.

It is consciousness, it is imagination, that has counterfeited their duality.

Tabula rasa has no chance against nature-nurture, and the first birth, 3.8 billion years ago,

Which has, permeated by awareness, mutated through natural selection, into You.

And it is You, and You alone, who must set aside all the conditioning,

And become the stillness that is the birthright of all things.

 

* * * *

Imagine if you had just been born, and knew absolutely nothing;

What would be that state of mind, and might it still be accessible?

 

* * * *

No matter the religion, the belief, they are all just stories.

If God is so great, why does he need anyone to affirm it?

 

* * * *

Resign yourself to the fact that you will likely decline and fall with a very long list,

Of books and movies and music and whatever, unwatched and unread and unheard and unknown.

The cruel reality is that the most anyone can hope to achieve in this dreamtime mystery,

Is a hearty statistical sample, in whatever frame of reference fate allows.

 

* * * *

We are all but ephemeral dreamtimes of our ultimate nature,

Temporal waves crashing upon the rocky shores of infinity.

What is the point of judging any part or particle of it, really?

A dream is a dream, nothing more, nothing less, nothing but.

 

* * * *

How many moments in an attosecond?

How many moments in a nanosecond?

How many moments in a second?

How many moments in a minute?

How many moments in an hour?

How many moments in a day?

How many moments in a month?

How many moments in a year?

How many moments in a decade?

How many moments in a century?

How many moments in a millennium?

How many moments in a million years?

How many moments in a billion years?

How many moments in a trillion years?

How many moments in a gazillion years?

How many moments in a moment?

Eternity, right here right now.

Bam!

 

* * * *

No need to sentimentalize the mystery, no need to idealize the mystery.

It is what it is, it is what You are, nothing more, nothing less, nothing but.

Mundane, dull, boring, dreary, monotonous, repetitive, tiresome, uninteresting,

Lackluster, tedious, wearisome, unvaried, colorless, pedestrian,

Deadly, droning, ordinary, bland, nondescript.

Despite all your vain pretenses,

You know it true.

 

* * * *

You are older than the stars, younger than the moment.

Right here, right now, this very, one-and-only, unborn-undying, timeless, ineffable instant.

Eternity … Bam!

 

* * * *

Contemplation and meditation,

Are the means to explore and realize for your Self,

The mystery You are.

 

* * * *

Every moment, the garden, and of all its life forms,

Eat and drink and devour and munch and chomp and guzzle itself in ways beyond counting.

It is an ever-kaleidoscoping quantum mystery from the get-go.

 

* * * *

Nobody goes through life without having an impact on others in this dreamtime theater.

Some cast more ripples than others, but every part and particle,

Is required for the dream to play out,

In this quantum matrix of space and time.

 

* * * *

You were born the tabula rasa of awareness,

Until the cosmos drew you into its web of consciousness.

To discern and reclaim its immaculate, indivisible, ever-present nature,

Requires diligently watering and nourishing the seed of doubt with truth everlasting.

 

* * * *

All the knowledge the illusionary manifest world has to offer,

Is nothing more than trivial pursuit in eternity's yawning abyss.

 

* * * *

It is not your consciousness, nor my consciousness, nor anyone else’s consciousness.

It is simply consciousness, playing out in every mind, in every way imaginable.

All the gibberish, all the babble, all the drivel in the world, means nothing.

Be still, and know You are, have ever been, will ever be, That I Am.

 

* * * *

That world, that universe, that you, exist only in imagination.

You are naught but the awareness of the unborn-undying moment;

Regardless the ever-kaleidoscoping illusion the sensory-mind weaves.

 

* * * *

How arrogant any who consider themselves masters.

Every mind is the spawn of imagination,

Begun anew every moment.

 

* * * *

The challenge is to give the moment your fullest attention,

In whatever way the sensory mind is riveted,

For it is quickly come and gone,

In its ineffable, indelible, indivisible way.

 

* * * *

It is all an illusion, it is all imagined,

There is no one to follow, there is no one to be.

You are as free as You allow the awareness You are to be.

 

* * * *

There is no scripture, no dogma, no authority, that can prove the mystery this or that.

Put them all down, let go all narrow thinking, let go all attachments, embrace eternity.

 

* * * *

The higher high, the greater buzz, the more meaningful moments, are illusory,

And are meaningless, delusionary projections, of a mind that does not really exist.

 

* * * *

Attention to the timeless moment is as spiritual as it gets.

There is no more, except in the endless maze of imagination.

 

* * * *

What cosmos does the mind gaze out upon,

But its own creation, its own perception.

 

* * * *

Truth, ever the right-here-right-now moment,

Kaleidoscoping from one to the next,

Differing only in the mirage in which it is cast,

Bound by no mind, in its sentience through space and time.

Very much akin, to very fine dry sand, in loose fingers, on a very windy day.

 

* * * *

Millenniums can be counted.

Centuries can be counted.

Decades can be counted.

Years can be counted.

Months can be counted.

Days can be counted.

Hours can be counted.

Minutes can be counted.

Seconds can be counted.

As can every class of epoch,

And age and era and eon and cycle.

But how do you count the eternal moment,

Upon which all inklings space and time are imagined?

 

* * * *

Realigning the mind to eternity.

Realigning the mind to sentience.

Realigning the mind to awareness.

Realigning the mind to mindfulness.

Realigning the mind to wakefulness.

Realigning the mind to endlessness.

Realigning the mind to the moment.

Realigning the mind to perpetuity.

Realigning the mind to infinity.

Realigning the mind to now.

Requires great attention.

Breathe through it.

 

* * * *

Consciousness, neither is, nor is not.

Awareness, neither is, nor is not.

Eternity, neither is, nor is not.

Space, neither is, nor is not.

Time, neither is, nor is not.

You, neither are, nor are not.

It is but quantum kaleidoscoping.

 

* * * *

Pure and simple infinity,

Pure and simple nowness,

Pure and simple awareness.

Pure and simple wakefulness.

Pure and simple timelessness.

Pure and simple mindfulness,

Pure and simple endlessness,

Pure and simple perpetuity,

Pure and simple sentience.

Pure and simple eternity.

 

* * * *

Quantum earth.

Quantum wind.

Quantum water.

Quantum fire.

All playing in ether.

 

* * * *

This led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Led to this,

Ad infinitum.

The moment is like that.

 

* * * *

All the letters and numbers and notes and other tools of creation, cannot,

In the ever-present timelessness of eternity, more that fleetingly entertain.

 

* * * *

No matter how quickly you move, no matter how quickly you cogitate,

Momentary awareness will always beat you to the punch.

Even the fastest computers cannot outrace it.

Nor the speediest quantum.

A tie at best.

Else it would be time travel,

Which would be difficult, even if time existed.

 

* * * *

Stardust come to life, quantum come to life, awareness come to life, eternity come to life.

Molecular beings, chemical beings, carbon-based beings, genetic beings, biological beings.

An indivisible, indelible, ineffable mystery, baffling on a scale beyond all comprehension.

 

* * * *

Enjoy the eternal moment, best you can.

The alternative is much less entertaining; torturous, actually.

Why not up the game, with the highest-grade endorphins, imagination can conjure?

There are so many drugs available, both natural and man-made, to use to explore the moment-to-moment.

And for those who want to fly solo without aids, there is the zafu and zabuton,

And more than a few solitary places to sit and walk.

 

* * * *

Looking closely at words,

How they are spelled, what they mean,

Can oftentimes seems more that a little inexplicable.

Language, what an indelible mystery consciousness hath wrought.

And every one, across the world, across time, an expression of its culture of origin.

Could there be anything more boggling about the human paradigm?

 

* * * *

To declare awareness infinite,

Is as wrong as it would be, to call it infinitesimal.

How can any measurement measure, how can any thought encapsulate,

That, which the bounds of time and space, cannot contain.

 

* * * *

Even if you were to spend an entire existence wandering about the world,

It would be as meaningful as any ant wandering about a kitchen sink.

Vanity might wish to think itself important to its imaginary deities,

But imagination can do nothing to waylay the reality of eternity.

 

* * * *

How else would any divinity create a universe,

But through awareness pervading the quantum sea.

Awareness, ever-present witness to every sentient dream.

Natural selection the means to play out the Darwinian theater.

And You, the spontaneity of the eternal, come unto mortal existence.

Where is it even possible for duality, to have any possibility, whatsoever?

 

* * * *

What would you have done with your existence, if you were rich beyond rich?

What would you have done with your existence, if you were poor beyond poor?

Who, what, where, when, why, how, are all relative frames of imaginary reference.

Stars twinkle, suns shine, worlds spin, all the same one, each and every eternal moment.

No matter the seed cast by natural selection, the awareness fills all equally, all indifferently.

 

* * * *

How can you not see, the all-pervading sentience,

Within all existential forms, including You,

Is the deity you worship from afar?

 

* * * *

A mind that is watchful, but no longer curious,

No longer caught up in the ceaseless chitter-chatter of consciousness,

Is an ever-present, eternal mind; sentient but still, timelessly absolute, serenely aware, flawless.

 

* * * *

It all seems so large, until you grow into seeing it all You,

And large and small brandish an unimaginable relativity,

In the immeasurable awareness that permeates eternity.

 

* * * *

A mind at rest is an eternal mind, a no-mind, a quantum mind, an unbound mind.

Death is merely evaporating, back into the nothingness, that nothingness ever is.

 

* * * *

Extinction is the sure end to all who cannot, will not, adapt to the ever-changing.

There is no benevolence, no compassion, in the Darwinian paradigm,

This mystery garden, has ever since creation, ordained.

Even the rat wolves and meow tigers will have to figure it out.

 

* * * *

How can sentience be separate in any way, in any shape, in any form,

From whatever niche, whatever world, whatever dimension, it evolved?

 

* * * *

Could the forest Panda be any more bound to bamboo,

Than we are our greed and vanity for more?

Patterns are patterns are patterns.

None can be free of them,

But in surrender to awareness.

 

* * * *

Any who have somehow happened upon this edifice of blather, know well, the pathless path,

That all buddhas and krishnas and miscellaneous others, wander like ants over a pile of sugar.

A pile of sugar most other ants in the world never discern, and perhaps more happily carry on,

For unfolding a lifetime of conditioning, of taming, is a hearty helping of every-moment stew.

 

* * * *

Burn through the moment,

Like a flame through a fuse.

Like an asteroid through space.

Like a dream through the night.

Like a ripple through a pond.

Like a cloud through the sky.

Like an electron through a wire.

Like a spark through a plug.

Like a breeze through a tree.

Like a candle through a read.

Like a laser through metal.

Like a mind through a moment.

Like a mind through awareness.

Like a mind through here.

Like a mind through now.

Like a mind through eternity.

Like a mind through You.

 

* * * *

It is often in the unbidden moments,

That the clarity of right here, right now,

That the clarity of the ever-present,

That the clarity of awareness,

That the clarity of eternity,

That the clarity of You,

Makes its Self, apparent.

 

* * * *

Somehow, creation.

Somehow, life.

Somehow, sentience.

Somehow, consciousness.

Somehow, imagination.

Somehow, You.

No answers to any of it.

The mystery of the mystery,

Will ever be a mystery of a mystery.

 

* * * *

The awareness before time, before space.

The stillness before time, before space.

The absoluteness before time, before space.

The aloneness before time, before space.

The quantum before time, before space.

The innocence before time, before space.

The vulnerability before time, before space.

The immaculate before time, before space.

The nowness before time, before space.

The perfection before time, before space.

The clarity before time, before space.

The truth before time, before space.

The presence before time, before space.

The eternity before time, before space.

The sovereignty before time, before space.

The serenity before time, before space.

The transcendence before time, before space.

The nothing special before time, before space.

The You before time, before space.

 

* * * *

The one and only true church is the Church of Awareness,

And it cannot be contained by any arbitrary concoction of imagination.

By any edifice, any concept, any equation, any sound,

Any symbol, any artifice, whatsoever.

 

* * * *

The future is already past the moment it happens.

Awareness is, without time; awareness is, without space.

There is no past moment, there is no future moment.

A moment's pathlessness is all that is, all is not.

 

* * * *

When exactly does fate begin its wayward trail?

The truth of it, is, you were born the moment of creation.

And if there is a supreme deity, you were born,

Whenever, however, it got rolling.

Assuming it ever did.

 

* * * *

You are not even the person, the identity, you imagine you were a moment ago.

The quantum nature never stops, until it morphs into a rock,

And then the rock keeps moving, too.

Maybe back into some other life form down the dream.

 

* * * *

Move to the back of the skull, into the brainstem,

Where the awareness began to be discerned,

Where awareness began its flowering.

 

* * * *

Seeking is such a long and winding and endless journey,

Because there is nothing to seek, because there is nothing to find.

There has never been any pot of gold loitering at the end of any rainbow.

Right here, right now, will be the same, any then, as it is, any now.

 

* * * *

Believers and atheists wage yap over whether or not there is a God,

As if all their quibbling over nothing more than speculation, really means something.

Agnostics do not pretend to know anything, and wander no-mindlessly, whatever garden is still around.

 

* * * *

Good things happen to bad people; bad things happen to bad people.

Good things happen to good people; bad things happen to good people.

The mystery does not differentiate, does not reward, does not care.

Despite what middlemen spout in all their glass cathedrals.

 

* * * *

Travel as fast as light might, darkness is always waiting it.

Think as fast as mind, as consciousness, might,

Awareness is always waiting for it.

 

* * * *

How can you travel time if it does not exist,

And its sidekick, space, but quantum illusion.

 

* * * *

Walk as if the mind-body was already dead; happily reaped.

Walk as if you were already back in eternity’s timeless bosom.

 

* * * *

How would it be even remotely possible, feasible, viable,

To create and destroy all that we have, in our 3.8 billion-year narrative,

Without all the permutations of Darwinian natural-selection, nature-nurture intrigue;

All the machinations, that brought us to this moment, in illusion’s delusion;

And then somehow, miraculously shed it all, to survive ourselves.

 

* * * *

Being just the pure awareness You are,

Letting go the world, letting go the illusion, is a rare feat.

Far easier to conquer the world than the mind.

 

* * * *

The sentience of awareness cannot see without eyes.

The sentience of awareness cannot hear without ears.

The sentience of awareness cannot feel without nerves.

The sentience of awareness cannot smell without a nose.

The sentience of awareness cannot taste without a tongue.

The sentience of awareness cannot reason without a brain.

The sentience of awareness is an abyss without any other.

It is the quantum dust of creation that drives the matrix.

The sentience of awareness is simply eternal witness;

The ether in which all timelessly kaleidoscopes.

 

* * * *

Nothing, for farther than you can see.

Nothing, for farther than you can hear.

Nothing, for farther than you can feel.

Nothing, for farther than you can taste.

Nothing, for farther than you can smell.

Nothing, for farther than you can believe.

Nothing, for closer than all of the above.

 

* * * *

Fathom your innocence.

Fathom your forgiveness.

Fathom your compassion.

Fathom your contentment.

Fathom your truth,

Your Self.

 

* * * *

Every moment offers a choice:

Look, do not look.

Listen, do not listen.

Taste, do not taste.

Smell, do not smell.

Feel, do not feel.

Speak, do not speak.

Move, do not move.

Think, do not think.

Become, do not become.

Be, do not be.

Bam!

* * * *

Instead of always gathering, grasping, filling, amassing, mustering, marshalling, mobilizing;

Give releasing, give dispersing, give disbanding, give dissolving,

Give diffusing, give disappearing, a shot.

Be as nothing.

Just be You. The stillness, the motionlessness of awareness. That I Am.

Prior to consciousness, prior to time, prior to space, prior to all things imagined.

Prior to all things measurable, prior to all things infinitesimal, prior to all things infinite.

Prior to all things that are but ever-morphing clouds, dust balls in the immeasurable sky of eternity.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the void, the abyss, of eternity.

It is without time; it is without space.

It cannot be measured, for it has no essence.

Light cannot discern it, because it has no reflection.

It is nothingness, untouched by any cloud, by any universe.

It can only be comprehended by the mind given over to no-mind.

And in that, that is no gain or loss, there is no reward, there is only being.

 

* * * *

So many sustaining the illusion that they will not die,

Because they are truly different than everything else.

Some how, some way, they are going to cheat death.

Ergo, God.

 

* * * *

Other than playing the necessary politics of survival in the human paradigm,

What would it possibly matter what the dream of consciousness thinks of you?

 

* * * *

Regarding whether or not there is some supreme deity or deities on high,

You might not think there is, but do not know there is not.

Ergo, agnostic is the least tawdry label.

 

* * * *

Amazing that few switches in the genome, determine whether you are born male or female.

Gender-ize it as you choose, how remarkable is it, that we all begin life as women,

And with just a few clicks in the chromo-zone, set course, that of a man.

What a mystery you are, to have naturally-selected all this.

 

* * * *

You think you just came into sentience just because a few quanta amalgamated and naturally selected?

You think you just came into sentience just because two seeds joined and grew in your mother's womb?

You think you just came into sentience just because the Self you are, is in any way cleaved from totality?

 

* * * *

Why feel shy or embarrassed or hesitant or concerned or doubtful,

About awakening to a greater vision of the ineffable mystery you are?

 

* * * *

Desire is the insatiable hunger to which all in imagination, at least occasionally succumb.

Fear and dread are the anticipation of suffering, of pain or loss or undesirable change.

All are induced by the chemistry of the electromagnetic nature of consciousness.

 

* * * *

It may be fairly frightening, even irritating,

For many to begin fathoming they are the eternal,

Because up to this point, their manifest consciousness,

Has not even begun to open to that expansive an inner vision.

It is they who cling to one book, with all its dogmatic tribal traditions,

And ponder putting to torch or blade or many forms of torture,

Those who dare ponder, truth might be so much more.

 

* * * *

Understand the subtlety,

Between claiming you are god,

And simply being that which is eternal.

One can never be, and the other never was not.

 

* * * *

The quantum cosmos is always in perfect balance.

"Research" is always well behind the actual algorithm.

Whether or not, life can survive that balance is the question.

 

* * * *

A mindful mind is one of attentive, intentional, eternal awareness,

Witnessing its version of the world, its version of creation.

 

* * * *

Embrace the eternal awareness, the stillness, You are, have always been, will ever be.

In which the quantum matrix vibrates the illusion-delusion dreamtime.

It really does boil down to, to believe, or not to believe.

The other is the infection of imagination.

 

* * * *

Nothingness has no notion.

Nothingness is without airs.

Nothingness knows no other.

Nothingness has no bounds.

Nothingness has no space.

Nothingness has no time.

 

* * * *

And from the humble beginnings of infancy, of childhood, of adolescence,

You wandered into the mundane world, and entered unto a void few discern.

 

* * * *

Imagination is always rushing, rushing, rushing, on and on.

Though it can never be anywhere but right here, right now.

 

* * * *

Abiding in the singular moment, abiding in the singular awareness,

Is a close to full-stop, as is possible, in this kaleidoscoping matrix.

 

* * * *

You are a chemistry set, come to life, a quantum organism,

Nature-nurture, naturally-selected, from an eternal bag of tricks.

 

* * * *

Still the mind, and the cacophony of sounds will be simultaneously, without discrimination, heard.

Add to it the other senses, and explore the sensory theater, the mind through every moment weaves.

 

* * * *

Heaven, bliss, ecstasy, rapture, nirvana, liberation,

Is right here, right now, if it is Your fate to discern it.

 

* * * *

Rest assured, the real You can never perish, for the real You were never born.

Only perceived by the naturally-selected evolution of imagination,

That can ever be more than witness to the essential nature,

To which it gives time, to which it gives space,

To which it gives meaning and purpose,

For an eternity which has nothing for anything imagined,

The mortal body is a but a chrysalis for eternity to blossom into nirvana.

Where can there be any boundary, when imagination is at play?

Where can there be any boundary, when it is in awareness that it glides?

Where can there be any boundary, when it is You who is witness?

Forget who you are sometimes.

Forget what you are sometimes.

Forget where you are sometimes.

Forget when you are sometimes.

Forget why you are sometimes.

Forget how you are sometimes.

Another day of enduring.

Another day of longing.

Another day of fearing.

Another day of dreading.

Another day of crying.

What a magic carpet, imagination.

* * * *

Is it truly worth engaging with those who cross your path,

Depends on your character, depends on the given moment.

There is no telling where the spin of a conversation can lead,

So one must always be willing to endure the consequences.

 

* * * *

You are a drop of the quantum ocean.

You are a particle of the quantum creation.

You are sovereign witness to all things eternal.

Solitary witness to all things unto the mystery of Self.

 

* * * *

Without memory, there would be no consciousness, there would be no imagination.

There would be no creation, there would be no preservation, there would be no destruction.

There would be only the eternal moment, as perceived by whatever senses are there to perceive it.

Space and time are entirely the creations of biological patterns morphing the reveries of quantum design.

The sensory theater has no ultimate reality, whatsoever, other than what humankind imagines it.

 

* * * *

Whether or not you have the doubt to discern it fully, you are the mystery.

You have always been the mystery; you will always be the mystery.

Love it, hate it, fear it, condemn it, dread it, ignore it, worship it,

It will always be the ever-present question, the ever-present moment,

To which there is no answer; only witnessing whatever dreams may come.

 

* * * *

Supreme being is not some celestial entity in any way separate from anything.

It is a state of awareness; a state of omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence.

A state in in which all are part and party to every moment the moment divines.

 

* * * *

This is the real virtual reality,

Why would you want it to be more?

More, more, more, there is no more.

It is what it is, that’s all folks.

 

* * * *

What is a seer, a sage, a mystic, but a mind given over to the mystery.

A mind capable of journeying any and every way, to which its patterning is disposed.

One able to embrace the oblivion from which all fates are born, the oblivion to which all fates return.

One able to walkabout existence, with the whisper of death a constant companion.

Be at peace, be serene, let the Fates take you where they will.

 

* * * *

Your dreamtime, your world, your cosmos, and everything in it, is imagined.

None of it, anything more, than an electromagnetic-spectrum-quantum matrix.

 

* * * *

From the slime of your father and mother’s seeds joined, arbitrarily amalgamated in your mother’s womb,

You have morphed from one moment to the next in a mind-body cast from life’s long-ago origin.

Molded, shaped, by the environment of whatever time, whatever space, you were cast.

To believe you had any choice in it, to believe you have any choice in it,

Or to believe it was all the plan of some all-seeing deity,

Are all remarkable leaps of imagination.

It is a mystery, to which all answers are but speculation.

 

* * * *

The winds of consciousness, of imagination, through the eternal mind’s eye,

Is locked on, to what it can see and hear and smell and taste and touch.

To all things tangible, in this indivisible matrix of quantum design.

It cannot long endure the stillness of awareness, the timelessness of now,

And fashions every distraction, to entice the mind into its willy-nilly usurpation.

 

* * * *

All that has ever happened since Creation,

From a particle of dust to the farthest reaches,

Is why you are right here, right now, imbibing this.

It is an indivisible matrix of quantum design.

With, or without, some divine designer,

It is ever the same mystery,

As are You.

 

* * * *

The world we as a species have fashioned –

Overpopulated, full of violence, poisoned in every way imaginable –

Is not the one for which the hunter-gatherer was designed, and many are suffering for it,

Because their nature-nurture, their frame of reference, does not have what it takes to acclimate.

The rules of the quantum matrix are ever the same, and the nightmare is only just getting underway.

 

* * * *

The future, imagined, is the past projected.

In truth, there is no such thing as space, there is no such thing as time.

No matter the illusion, both past and future are the dreamy fabrications of imagination born of mind.

Only the awareness, only the eternal now, only oblivion, is real.

 

* * * *

Does the lion ponder the ethics of gorging upon an antelope, or an antelope, a blade of grass?

Nature has no attachment to the ceaseless vagaries, the absurdities, of human consciousness.

 

* * * *

We all play it real,

Because we have no choice.

Hotel California of the quantum blend:

“We are all just prisoners here, of our own device.

‘Relax,’ said the night man, ‘We are programmed to receive.

You can check-out any time you like,

But you can never leave.’ ”

 

* * * *

Who is not sitting in constant thumbs-up-thumbs-down judgment of the world about them?

Consciousness itself is judge, jury, executioner; awareness is, without any concern, whatsoever.

 

* * * *

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the self-replicating material that is present

In nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes.

It is the carrier of genetic information since life’s origin on this dust ball,

And is not concerned whether it passes on consensually or non-consensually.

It has no ethical binds born of consciousness; all that matters is that it passes on.

It is the closest thing to immortality this garden has ever, and perhaps will ever create.

Your destiny has always been whatever is unfolding in your sensory mind-body.

There is absolutely nothing to change, there is absolutely nothing that can be changed.

You are the awareness, the totality, the mystery, witnessing the dream into which it was cast.

Scrape away everything that is imaginary, everything that is illusory, everything that is delusionary –

Your knowledge, your things, your memories, everything whirling about your consciousness –

And what is left, but the ineffable, timeless, ungraspable awareness that You truly are.

 

* * * *

Whether or not your brief existence, and all the knowledge and wisdom you may have gleaned,

Will be warehoused by the quantum matrix, be stored in some great eternal library,

Is but the idle speculation of those still bound in the space-time dream.

Read by the five senses, fashioned by central processing unit,

The cosmos, the kaleidoscoping illusion, is spun,

In the only moment the mystery of eternity has to offer.

 

* * * *

Who can help be what they are,

In the part they have been allotted by the genetic lottery,

In the part they have been dealt by the nature-nurture choicelessnesses of all creation?

All are the same awareness, playing out the manifest dream,

Of the quantum sands of time.

 

* * * *

We and all the myriad creatures who have ever inhabited this garden world,

Are little more than scrabbling microbes on a spinning dust ball,

In a dust storm, in the ethereal abyss of awareness.

Only vanity believes itself, fashions itself, large and important.

 

* * * *

If you want to meet the demon, peer into your darkest, most perverse, most cruel thoughts.

If you want to be the demon, carry out your darkest, most perverse, most cruel thoughts.

In every moment, a choice.

 

* * * *

Existence is a daily grapple with the limitations of consciousness.

True humility is a mind given over to the timelessness of awareness.

 

* * * *

You do not ask to be free; you take the reins, and assume it so.

Even in the darkest, most torturous moments, you can be sovereign.

 

* * * *

If it involves time, if it involves space,

If it embraces any movement of consciousness,

Imagination, and all its illusions and delusions, are at play,

And may be duly ignored by those given over to the abyss of eternity.

 

* * * *

Alas for fame that You relish anonymity.

Alas for greed that You have more than enough.

Alas for power that You allow all to go their own way.

Alas for vanity that You know it not real.

Eternity is subject to none.

Awareness is all.

 

* * * *

How did imagination begin but through very gradual evolution, very gradual natural selection,

That is estimated to have begun 140 million years-ish ago in the jungles of Africa.

Something to do with memory cells gradually gaining enough oomph,

To start working together to counterfeit a sense of identity,

And the rest is the chaos of vanity and greed,

Given the name history, for the lack of a better word.

 

On the evolution of imagination, from Wikipedia:

 

Phylogenetic acquisition of imagination was a gradual process.

 

The simplest form of imagination, REM-sleep dreaming,

evolved in mammals with acquisition of REM sleep 140 million years ago.

 

Spontaneous insight improved in primates

with acquisition of the lateral prefrontal cortex 70 million years ago.

 

After hominins split from the chimpanzee line 6 million years ago

they further improved their imagination.

 

Prefrontal analysis was acquired 3.3 million years ago

when hominins started to manufacture Mode One stone tools.

 

Progress in stone tools culture to Mode Two stone tools by 2 million years ago

signify remarkable improvement of prefrontal analysis.

 

The most advanced mechanism of imagination, prefrontal synthesis,

was likely acquired by humans around 70,000 years ago

and resulted in behavioral modernity.

 

This leap toward modern imagination has been characterized by paleoanthropologists

as the "Cognitive revolution", "Upper Paleolithic Revolution", and the "Great Leap Forward".

 

And where is this cognitive revolution, this upper-paleolithic revolution, this great leap forward,

Irrevocably taking we two-leggeds, and many if not all, of the life forms in this world,

But down an ever-accelerating-exponential path to a very dystopian extinction.

To survive what it has through human consciousness over millions of years fashioned,

Imagination would need to, and rather quickly, mutate a wholistic, less individualistic platform.

Whether that is possible in this snail-paced, naturally-selective garden, seems more than a little unlikely.

And thus, will the rise of consciousness in this tiny iota of the mystery, fall upon its own sword,

And the vain hope that humankind might somehow shine its light across the cosmos,

Be forever dashed upon the austere reality, that it never really mattered,

That it was never more than a fallacious blip of absurdity.

And the eternal abyss, will eternally abyss, as it eternally does.

This dream is entirely quantum faire.

The universe but a matrix born of the imaginary mind.

Awareness is the clear endless sky, the mystery in its entirety, You truly are.

It does not participate, it does not regulate, it does not adjudicate, it does not concern its Self, in any way,

But without it, none of it would be possible.

In times not all that long ago,

A person's geography determined their world.

If you were born in the mountains, that was all you knew.

If you were born on an island, that was all you knew.

If you were born in a valley, that was all you knew.

If you were born on a plain, that was all you knew.

If you were born by the sea, that was all you knew.

If you were born on a mesa, that was all you knew.

If you were born in a forest, that was all you knew.

If you were born in a desert, that was all you knew.

If you were born in a wetland, that was all you knew.

But these modern times subscribe to an infinite cosmos.

And in all these differences, the relativity of all is ascertained.

What a curious thing, the quest for immortality.

Someday, long after this dust ball garden has been consumed by the sun,

And the galaxy has fallen into a black hole, and that hole is eventually victim to the dissipating universe,

The immortals, imprisoned by their attachment to decrepit, likely pain-ridden bodies,

Are going to be very much alone, floating about in the eternal abyss,

Hoping yet another universe will somehow kickstart,

And a habitable world, magically appear.

It may take a few billion or trillion years or so,

And a great deal of torturous agony for those determined not to die,

But the solitary wait for a new dreamtime will be worth it, if there are handicap ramps aplenty.

 

* * * *

One hundred and fifty years ago, before electricity, before oil,

This garden orb was a dark little dust ball, spinning away in the void.

Now it is a dust ball, with a bit more glimmer, still spinning away in the void.

And the void does not give a hoot about it, nor any of the organisms wandering its face.

 

* * * *

A gazillion yesterdays all transpired in the same awareness, the same eternal now.

A gazillion tomorrows will all transpire in the same awareness, the same eternal now.

The gazillion yesterdays and tomorrows, are the same awareness, are the same eternal now.

 

* * * *

It is less than about being chosen,

Than it is being handed a nature-nurture script,

And extemporaneously playing the seed as the moment unfolds.

Free will looking forward, fate looking back; there is really no choice in any of it.

 

* * * *

See if you can approach the given moment,

Without all the craving, without all the fear, without all the dread,

Without all the whatever, imagination ever concocts.

 

* * * *

Imagination is both angel and demon in this ‘anything goes’ sensory playhouse.

We are all scrunched together, believing our parts in this quantum theater, real and true,

And all of it nothing more than sensory-inspired separation born of imagination.

 

* * * *

Outer babble and inner babble,
Combine to keep You believing it all real and true.

You must die to time and space to see the eternal You, You ever are.

 

* * * *

The moment is the time machine, the flying carpet,

From which you gaze out into the mystery you are.

 

* * * *

Every mind has a frame of reference to which it clings.

Science may be more rational and exacting and articulate,

But it is no less a belief system than any other belief system.

Is it even possible to discern and function in absolute relativity?

 

* * * *

It is You, and You alone,

Who every moment, chooses freedom or imprisonment.

Attention the key; inattention the jailer.

 

* * * *

Always rushing, rushing, rushing, into the future,

As if imagination can get you there any faster than the timeless moment allows.

Be still, Master Quantum.

 

* * * *

Imagination is only as powerful as your inattention to the given moment.

It is entirely reliant upon its capacity, its ability, to entice You into its dreamtime web.

Entirely at the mercy of your being mesmerized-hypnotized-brainwashed into playing its vanity game.

Without your unwitting participation, without your instinctive collusion,

It dissipates into the nothingness You are.

 

* * * *

What is the purpose of any culture, but to mold the young into its version of the world,

With all its history, its politics, its laws, its economics, its traditions, its religions, its languages.

All its tribal hierarchies, customs, rituals, behaviors, practices, lifestyles, conventions, costumes, patterns,

Beliefs, ethics, routines, schemes, addictions, activities, cuisines, athletics, holidays, celebrations.

And, of course, all the horrors and absurdities imaginable, in this our human paradigm.

How anyone manages to doubt, to question, to awaken, to shake off,

The conditioning, the habituation, the indoctrination,

Is indeed a wonder, if not a miracle.

What a hold imagination has upon our kind.

 

* * * *

All you can be sure of, is that you are part of the totality.

You are the mystery; what else is there, needs knowing?

 

* * * *

All the effort to become something more than you are, is nothing more than imagination,

Keeping you from being what you are, keeping you from being what you are not,

Which is nothing more than the timeless, eternal filament of awareness.

You are not a body, from which nowness gazes out into illusion.

You are the mystery, through which quantum waltzes every whichaway.

 

* * * *

Any given moment is simultaneous creation-preservation-destruction.

And by the time the mind discerns it, nothing more than dreamtime.

 

* * * *

To be, in consciousness, the eternal awareness permeating all things living;

To be, the ageless, elemental, unborn-undying moment,

Is the goalless goal of the seer.

 

* * * *

Truth, is not in any thought about it.

What is, is not in any thought about it.

Awareness, is not in any thought about it.

Quantum, is not in any thought about it.

Mystery, is not in any thought about it.

Reality, is not in any thought about it.

Like a Ponzi scheme coming undone, the dream is changing across the board,

And that is just the way it is; there is nothing anybody can do about it.

The politicians and talking heads are just earning their buck,

And Wall Street and Las Vegas will likely take it down to the last bet.

This is the course our species set long before we departed the jungles of long ago.

Knowing more than the gist, filling one’s head with nonstop gorp, is hollow trivial pursuit.

All any can do is play out their little Sisyphean algorithm; enjoy and endure whatever the fates allot.

The tempest is going to be beyond the pale sooner or later, and perhaps even relatively quickly for many.

And those unfortunate enough to be born, those now running about in backyards and playgrounds,

Are just going to have to survive whatever comes at them, or perish in flames if they cannot.

Every geography will have its own anthology of consequences, its own crash and burn,

And will deal with them as human beings always have when struggling to survive.

It will be, as always, might makes right, as savage as the given players deign,

With Conrad's "The horror! The horror!" and Vonnegut's "So it goes,"

Echoing throughout the last throes of human consciousness as we know it.

Whoever is going to be the final two-legged lingering in this Anthropocene epoch,

Will be last witness to all the absurdities our genomic sequencing has ceaselessly perpetrated.

 

* * * *

So, there was that timeless, very still moment in the abyss, when You, the mystery, all alone,

All of a sudden came up with an inspiration for a gargantuan playhouse,

With You, the one and only, centerstage to all parts.

And bam, the quantum matrix,

A kaleidoscoping, extemporaneous realm, explodes into being.

Le Théâtre Absurde, produced and directed by natural selection; You, sole thespian,

The showstopper is realizing that you are none of the forms in which you ever play the starring role.

They are but crunchy-chewy-goo, from which you peer out through the given perceptions,

Upon all that is but illusion, and all the delusions the given dreamtime inspires.

 

* * * *

How much fear, how much dread, how much passion, is inspired by oxygen-deprivation,

Caused by holding the breath during the tension of manipulating the moment to your advantage.

 

* * * *

All the wisdom ever gleaned, can overcome all the absurdity,

Existence every moment spins across this whirling dust ball.

 

* * * *

The clinging mind is temporal, inflexible, resistant, closed; the breathing stilted.

The eternal mind is timeless, fluid, accepting, open; the breathing effortless.

 

* * * *

Life is about experiencing whatever satisfies the given nature-nurture moment.

Keeping it simple, keeping it frugal, keeping it passionless, is the moderate way.

 

* * * *

Why should you fear, why should you dread, any given moment?

A reasonable amount of stoicism in the face of it all,

Metes out the justice absurdity deserves.

 

* * * *

How even and steady the breath must have been when you were tabula rasa.

Before the passions took root and you began your centerstage role in the grand theater.

And what are you now, but double-double-toiled-and-troubled-fire-burned-and-cauldron-bubbled.

Questing that breath, now suffocating in the muddle of conflicting impulses that life has heaped upon you.

And right-here-right-now, it is done, it is over, it is past, just like everything else ever is.

And the next moment already right-here-right-now, done-over-past, too.

The senses stream through the timeless quantum illusion,

And you, totally alone, witness to it all.

 

* * * *

Disappear right-here-right-now; continuity is illusion.

Disappear into this twinkling; continuity is illusion.

Disappear into this moment; continuity is illusion.

Disappear into this instant; continuity is illusion.

Disappear into here-now; continuity is illusion.

Disappear into eternity; continuity is illusion.

Disappear into oblivion; continuity is illusion.

Be the eternal beingness, the eternal awareness,

Be the timeless beingness, the timeless awareness,

You truly are, You have always been, and will ever be.

 

* * * *

See your Self, see eternity; see eternity, see your Self.

Feel your Self, feel eternity; feel eternity, feel your Self.

Hear your Self, hear eternity; hear eternity, hear your Self.

Taste your Self, taste eternity; taste eternity, taste your Self.

Smell your Self, smell eternity; smell eternity, smell your Self.

Discern your Self, discern eternity; discern eternity, discern your Self.

Awareness is all, Self is all, You are it, it is You, there is no other.

Religions across the world are no longer required.

Science has discerned the truth of this mystery, we all together are.

To allow history, to allow tradition, to ensnare us any further is entirely unnecessary.

There is no need for any belief, any religion; only detached observation of what is within and without all.

We are, of course, incapable of doing this as a species, but rest assured, it is an option,

Were not arrogance and greed, were not narcissism and hedonism,

So entrenched in the genomic source code.

So it goes.

 

* * * *

A mind full of knowledge, full of trivia, full of gossip, full of notion, is not the eternal mind.

All the memories, all the histories, all the dreams, all the creations, all the affluence, all the possessions,

All the pleasures, all the pains, all the successes, all the failures, all the skills, all the arts,

All the friendships, all the loves, all the strangers, all the adversaries,

All the likes, all the joys, all the resentments, all the hates,

All the accolades, all the hopes, all the fears, all the cravings,

Are but illusion, the kaleidoscoping dream, streaming before you.

To be free, one must let go all things imagined, all things born of time.

 

* * * *

What is it about this timeless moment that you refuse to perceive?

What is it that you want it to be, that it will never be, that it can never be,

No matter how you imagine it so, no matter how you desire it so.

You cannot even penetrate how to appreciate this eternal life,

And here you are, yearning-pleading-negotiating another,

Or many, depending on the geographical assumption.

 

* * * *

It is the quantum matrix you quest.

The nothing more, nothing less, nothing but.

And in its discernment, called enlightenment by many,

The illusion become clear, and liberation the every-moment quest.

 

* * * *

You already have eternal life; you already are eternal life.

It is this very singular, very immediate, ever-present moment.

The trick is to discern it, and to surrender all that hinders living it.

The gold lining the streets of heaven is not the earthly variety.

 

* * * *

This blob of crunch-chewy-gooey from which you peer is but a quantum-matrix fabrication,

In which imagination is but a trickster deceiving you into believing the dreamtime all real.

What will you do when all your gods have failed you,

When all your traditions have lost all meaning,

When all your histories prove to be lies,

When the planet of the apes has lost its way.

 

* * * *

Science ever seeks the truth of the quantum illusion.

Prior to the veil, beyond the veil, there is no knowing.

 

* * * *

Why should some deity bequeath you a place in heaven at its feet,

When you were but a moment, but a state of mind away,

Throughout your entire temporal existence?

 

* * * *

The quantum matrix, the universe, the world, the dream, the mirage, the illusion,

Will be only too happy that your sensory mind-body joins in, and imagines it all real.

 

* * * *

The body is a temporal vehicle, guided by a temporal mind,

With eternal potential for those destined to discern,

That which cannot be more than intuited.

 

* * * *

Awaken to all possibilities; awaken to universes beyond counting, awaken to infinity’s rainbow,

And somehow, abide the kaleidoscoping illusion of the given mind-body’s dreamtime,

Dancing the dance, singing the song of mystery, between heaven and earth.

 

* * * *

Procreation is the primary directive of the genomic sequencing within all life.

Think of the who-knows-how-many lives, how many generations, it has taken for you to be here.

Every one of them relatively unconcerned about the pain, the suffering, the death,

Into which they were casting, catapulting, their matériel génétique.

The Grand Théâtre of Quantum, come unto existence.

An electromagnetic matrix in which many,

If not all things, are possible.

 

* * * *

Rest assured, rape and molestation are genetically viable ends and means,

In all the bumping and grinding it took, voluntary or involuntary,

For You to be sitting right-there-right-now reading this.

Ethics is a relatively recent appendage in the human timeline,

Ever enforced by the reigning oligarchy, who decide who gets what.

 

* * * *

That moment you just observed,

Came and went before you even knew it.

The past is kaleidoscoping before your sensory mind.

 

* * * *

All that is going on in this world of over eight billion people,

Meandering across its face, this way and that; upon high, no different than ants.

And seven billion of that in just over two hundred years: agriculture, medicine, oil, electricity, bam!

It is not some conspiracy; it is the reality, the inevitable outcome, of all the natural selection,

That it has taken for the human paradigm to achieve the point of dysfunctionality,

Of absurdity, of madness, of malice, beyond all pales of genetic rationality.

All that imagination, partnered with all-but-infinite vanity and insatiable avarice,

Has brought into being, into light, since its long-ago mutation in human consciousness.

 

* * * *

The You, You truly are, is not a belief system.

You are not a leader, You are not a follower, You are on your own.

You do not require priests, You do not require sanctuaries, You do not require scriptures,

You do not require faith, nor dogmas, nor the support of others.

There is only the right-here-right-now moment.

There is only pure awareness.

There is only You.

Alone.

 

* * * *

Where would, could, we be, without stardust, without gravity,

And the light in which its creation is every moment bathed?

 

* * * *

The world, the universe, that you believe you know, is nothing more than a figment of imagination,

And imagination, nothing more than an illusory timebound evolution of the quantum mind-body.

All just stardust of a forever-mysterious, ineffable origin, come to make-believe all things real.

Play your stage as you will: passionate-indifferent, attached-detached, happy-sad, it matters not.

 

* * * *

The entire world, the entire universe, the entire unfathomable kaleidoscoping quantum fabrication,

Has been subject to the same natural selection, the same survival of the fittest,

Set in motion, in the whatever long ago means.

And here you are, playing out the fate you have been dealt.

 

* * * *

You are but the mystery of awareness, swathed in a crunchy-chewy-gooey, biologically-ordained stew,

Pretending your imaginary character real, and yet, all that full-of-sound-and-fury, ever signifying nothing.

 

* * * *

Eternal life is this one and only timeless moment,

This one and only right-here-right-now timeless awareness,

This one and only omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent timeless now.

To be the big Self, you must die to the little self.

 

* * * *

Enlightenment is very much the easy part; awakening is something that just happens.

Liberation completely depends how well you manage to work things out,

Out of interest, out of importance, out of concern, out of mind,

In the given moment kaleidoscoping before you.

In a nutshell, to see the eternal, you must be the eternal.

 

* * * *

It is only through indefinable surrender of little self to Big Self,

That indefinably expresses the moment, the awareness,

Through which it indefinably appears to move,

In the indefinable way humankind has imagined into reality.

 

* * * *

Do you really think the quantum matrix,

Or the eternity in which it indivisibly dances,

Are at all concerned, at all attached, to any pattern?

How vain to believe anything is forever.

 

* * * *

Did some deity create the quantum matrix, or is the quantum matrix the faceless mystery unto its Self?

Obviously, they are one in the same; otherwise, why would you not be viewing your own face?

Where is the maestro without the orchestra; where is orchestra without the maestro?

All dualistic notions are imaginary fictions, and should be ignored for their absurdity.

 

* * * *

As absurd as it has been since the beginning, creating endless forms of idolatry, is what we do.

To see that totality is an infinite force, requires an aloof rationality, in which vanity cannot root.

 

* * * *

One of the first things any true seeker must do is trash all notions of a deity or deities.

There is only the faceless awareness, from which all worlds, all universes, are witnessed.

 

* * * *

What are human beings but collectives of organized protoplasm,

With exteriors about which narcissism and hedonism and greed orbit.

About which consciousness, about which imagination, makes endless ado.

Crunchy-chewy-gooey vats of imagination, vats of make-believe;

Dreamtimes, dancing in the timeless void of eternity.

 

* * * *

Om is the quantum vibration, the quantum hum, the quantum drone.

The source of all materialization, of all dreamtimes, of all creations.

 

* * * *

We all have impacts on the lives of others, the dreamtimes of others, both positive and negative.

Impacts that spin all our worlds into seemingly new directions, that fate's long and winding illusions,

Every moment – through awareness, five senses, and a transmitter – make this quantum matrix apparent.

Our fates pull and push us all along in kaleidoscope fashion, in an eternal, inescapably timeless journey,

That none can discern, but through but vague perceptions we glean, as our dreams tick-tick-tick away.

 

* * * *

It is an omnipresent theater.

It is an omnipotent theater.

It is an omniscient theater.

It is an elemental theater.

It is a dreamtime theater.

It is a morphing theater.

It is an illusory theater.

It is a quantum theater.

It is a monkey-mind theater.

It is an orchestrated theater.

It is an unknowable theater.

It is an incalculable theater.

It is an inexplicable theater.

It is a never-ending theater.

It is an astounding theater.

It is an impromptu theater.

It is a time-bound theater.

It is an indivisible theater.

It is a predictable theater.

It is a narcissistic theater.

It is an expansive theater.

It is an immortal theater.

It is a Darwinian theater.

It is an indelible theater.

It is the théâtre absurde.

 

* * * *

Prior to sight, prior to sound, prior to touch, prior to smell, prior to taste, prior to consciousness,

Awareness is.

Prior to sight, prior to sound, prior to touch, prior to smell, prior to taste, prior to consciousness,

Eternity is.

Prior to sight, prior to sound, prior to touch, prior to smell, prior to taste, prior to consciousness,

You are.

 

* * * *

There is nobody to follow; you must forge your own path.

You must explore, You must discern, what is true, for your Self, by your Self.

There is not some all-pervasive, all-powerful deity, at the helm, despite all propaganda to the contrary.

The moment can be heaven, the moment can be purgatory, the moment can be hell.

You are the one and only witness to your dreamtime.

Attitude is all.

 

* * * *

No need for deities.

No need for souls.

No need for angels.

No need for saints.

No need for demons,

No need for belief.

No need for scripture.

No need for dogma.

No need for priests.

No need for idols,

No need for worship.

No need for prayer.

No need for superstition.

No need for cathedrals,

No need for heavens.

No need for purgatories.

No need for infernos.

No need for anything.

Awareness is all.

 

* * * *

There is nothing to follow, nothing to be, nothing to do.

You are your own teacher, you are your own student.

Learn whatever suits you, do whatever draws you.

Live your life as freely as the given time allows.

 

* * * *

What is this garden planet, what is this pale blue dot,

But a tiny speck of dust, spinning away in the void.

All that vanity and greed, absolutely meaningless.

 

* * * *

What will come of all this?

Well, absolutely nothing, of course, and what do you care?

Worlds come and go, stars come and go, galaxies come and go, universes come and go.

Only You remain, awareness, eternally alone.

 

* * * *

Life or death, every moment a decision.

Another day; let the countdown continue.

 

* * * *

Where is the yoke in these writings? Where is the burden?

What yoke can the clarity of rationality ever create,

But a mindfulness to not accept any pretense,

At least as far as the ultimate truth goes.

We all have to survive, to abide, in some how, in some way.

The one-percenters have always set the tone, to which all below yield or perish,

But you need not give the insatiable beast more than the token morsels of vanity and greed it demands.

Play their theater, endure your stage, with whatever serenity and harmony you can muster,

In whatever dreamtime this ever-kaleidoscoping quantum garden manifests.

 

* * * *

Nothing can be more, nothing can be less, nothing can be, but what it is.

What more is there to say, what more is there to do, what more is there to be?

 

* * * *

See the nothingness.

Hear the nothingness.

Taste the nothingness.

Inhale the nothingness.

Feel the nothingness.

Be the nothingness.

 

* * * *

Perhaps this matrix all began because You got a craving, a hankering, an itch,

To do something more than just be timeless nothingness.

So here you right-here-right-now are,

Imprisoned by a creation, far from conclusion.

 

* * * *

Being in the moment, being the moment, being the pure unadulterated awareness,

Prior to the movement of consciousness, prior to the movement of imagination,

Is a discipline not easily forged, and only by the rare few drawn to the quest.

 

* * * *

The mind’s eye, bent by the trivia of time, is lost in the tapestry of imagination.

All the yesterdays, all the tomorrows, however any given moment is nooked and crannied,

Are a long and convoluted maze, in which imagination, through eternity weaves.

All threads are relative to the mind’s eye in which they are beheld.

None more absolute, more true, than any other’s.

 

* * * *

This blob, this wall of flesh, this sheen of light,

Is outside and inside the one and only You,

Each and every kaleidoscoping moment.

Duality is the lie born of imagination.

 

* * * *

The final solution to the blasphemy of the human paradigm is extinction.

How long it can be dodged, how long it can be forestalled, how long it can be annulled,

Is a question for history to answer, if there perchance happens to be anyone left to ponder the question.

Who will be the last man, the last woman, the last boy, the last girl, the last any tag?

And how could that one last shimmer of human intelligence,

Possibly know, much less care,

As that last breath, without fanfare, quietly expires.

And the eternal quantum mystery, kaleidoscopes on, nary a tremor to the beat.

 

* * * *

Almost like you never did it.

Almost like you never saw it.

Almost like you never heard it.

Almost like you never tasted it.

Almost like you never smelled it.

Almost like you never sensed it.

Like it never happened at all.

 

* * * *

You cannot hold on to anything for more than an instant at a time.

And even in that moment, there is nothing that is not quantum illusion.

You are the awareness, you are the mystery, that is witness to all of eternity,

Whirling and twirling within and without, that which is neither within or without.

Forever is a fallacious idea, an imaginary notion; only as real as imagination imagines.

 

* * * *

Now.

It is not a belief system.

There are no leaders, there are no followers.

There are no sanctuaries, there are no scriptures, there are no doctrines.

There are no priests, nor is there any need for faith, nor others.

There is only the right-here-right-now moment.

There is only primeval awareness.

There is only You.

Alone.

 

* * * *

All the human beings you have known as friends and family;

As lovers, acquaintances, coworkers, strangers, adversaries, enemies,

Have all, each and every one, wrought the frame of reference, of the witness,

The mind, the awareness, the Self, that has chanced upon this aphorism.

 

* * * *

Each and every moment, each and every perception of your existence,

Is a translation, a rendition, an epiphany, a revelation, an insight,

That is continually incorporated into your frame of reference.

The pattern you are, the part you play, was scripted from the get-go.

 

* * * *

Does tabula rasa think itself tabula rasa?

Does a microbe think itself a microbe?

Does a squirrel think itself a squirrel?

Does a salmon think itself a salmon?

Does a spider think itself a spider?

Does a turtle think itself a turtle?

Does an ant think itself an ant?

Does a frog think itself a frog?

Does a squid think itself a squid?

Does a lobster think itself a lobster?

Does a sparrow think itself a sparrow?

Does a newborn think itself a newborn?

Does awareness think itself awareness?

Does cosmos think itself cosmos?

Does now think itself now?

Does Self think itself Self?

Do You think yourself You?

Does mystery think itself mystery?

 

* * * *

The mind bent by the trivia of time, clings, contained, compelled.

The mind given over to awareness, streams, unbridled, boundless.

 

* * * *

Where is the mind that is but a still, serene pool of awareness?

Where is the mind, content merely to be the given moment?

Time is an illusion, space is an illusion, mind is an illusion.

 

* * * *

How to be in the world, and not of it,

Is for each imaginary mind to alone discern,

On its long and winding pathless never traveled.

To surrender to the moment, to allow serenity to reign,

Can be a challenge for a mind shaped by striving and conflict.

 

 

2024

 

The only difference between any moment,

Is the continuous movement of sentience, of consciousness, of imagination,

Interpreting the perpetual input of the allotted senses,

As they weave their universes.

 

* * * *

To believe You can ever know your unknowable is delusional.

All You can do is be the awareness that You every moment are.

 

* * * *

Awareness is ever-present, ever now.

It is up to consciousness to throw in the towel,

If it seeks to get anywhere in the vicinity of keeping up,

With the eternity in every breath, in every step, in every moment.

 

* * * *

Imagination, despite all its efforts, races the moment, to no avail.

The awareness, is always to and beyond any brass ring, in every race.

 

* * * *

This eternally timeless moment seems real, but in the next, is forever gone.

And the next, and the next, and every other next, forever on and on.

And then, with the final wheezing breath. they are all done and gone forever.

And the placidly philosophical Tralfamadorians, all nod in unison, the ‘So it goes’ nod.

 

* * * *

It is attachment to the mind-body and its quantum sensory theater,

That holds You back from being the timeless eternal moment You are.

Simply detach from the dreamtime, and You will be the only You there is.

 

* * * *

How can the intangible moment, the intangible awareness,

Be anything but unutterably priceless to the measuring mind?

 

* * * *

Mother Nature bats first, she bats last, she bats every moment between.

For the human species, to believe it can, with impunity, forever stretch and break her rules,

Is absolute madness beyond all pales, absurdity ad infinitum on steroids.

The unfolding dystopian catastrophe has barely begun.

How lucky you are, if you are old.

 

* * * *

That subtle belief in the human mind, that it is more, that it will be more,

Is the false flag of consciousness, enticing You back,

Into its foggy illusion-delusion.

 

* * * *

Conscious breathing is the about the only way to keep up with the awareness,

And even then, it is a horse race, in which consciousness,

Is always going to come up short.

 

* * * *

Face it, bro, we are in an extremely bizarre dream, and death appears the only escape, maybe.

It may seem very touchy-feely real, but that is because the quantum programming is friggin’ amazing.

Whether it was natural selection or some supreme deity’s design, is not worth quarreling about.

If there is more to it, that is way above any pay grade, anyone here is deigned to know.

 

* * * *

Scientific Method is the most rational, precise way, to examine this mystery, but it is far from infallible.

 

Scientific Method … noun … a method of procedure,

That has characterized natural science since the 17th century,

Consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment,

And the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

 

1) Define the question

2) Gather information and resources (observe)

3) Form hypothesis

4) Perform experiment and collect data

5) Analyze data

6) Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis

7) Publish results

8) Retest (frequently done by other scientists)

 

* * * *

What is this thing we call death, but the end of another beginning.

Yet another trifling moment, done and undone, in quantum timeless.

 

* * * *

To be … the truth … the life … the way …

Is to be in absolute, solitary relationship,

With the moment, with the singularity,

You, awareness, every moment are.

 

* * * *

History can be looked at from an infinity of angles and dimensions.

Personal history, group history, world history, natural history, universal history.

There is no end to the myriad ways consciousness can cut the pie, it has in imagination baked.

* * * *

The magical mystery tour of imagination.

Time and space are mind-body illusion.

Five senses contrive a cosmic theater.

The agony, the ecstasy, the absurdity.

All are helpless upshots of mutation.

The genetic lottery casts all askew.

Sand ever falling in the hourglass.

Quantum matrix, the same in all.

The awareness, the same in all.

The sentience, the same in all.

The moment, the same in all.

The mystery, the same in all.

We are stardust, come to life.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

We are cousins of the puddle.

All are molded by their niche.

Who has ever had any choice?

Who has ever seen their face?

Who has ever been like me?

Who has ever been like you?

Who has ever been like him?

Who has ever been like her?

Who has ever been like them?

We are all just prisoners here.

All adrift in labyrinth of mind.

Ever more in common than not.

Belief is but a delusionary fog.

Be and allow, the highest law.

‘Tis but an hour, strutted, fretted.

Vanity and greed rule the world.

A species unable to contain itself.

A cancer devouring our dust ball.

The horror, the horror, no respite.

No one sees their allotted facade.

All wander the same stage, alone.

Nothing is ever the same nothing.

All lives are but imaginary dreams.

All differences are but shell games.

We are cousins of natural selection.

So many trivial things given weight.

All differences share the same grave.

Paradox and irony and absurdity rule.

The sound, the fury, signifying nothing.

Is free and clear of all trespass, free and clear of any yoke, whatsoever.

You are it, it is You, there is no other.

Be, free.

What is it about humankind and its genomic blend, that it is so insecure, that it is so fearful,

That it, across all geographies, has imagined a supreme deity or a gaggle of deities,

To praise or blame for the blessings and misfortunes of this mortal theater?

Surely, existing as gracefully as possible in the given ebb and flow,

Is enough for anyone sensibly abiding the rhythms of nature.

There is no exultant ending to any mortal narrative.

To endure it rationally, stoically, is an admirable achievement.

 

* * * *

You are the timeless awareness.

You are the eternal moment.

You are all the worlds.

You are all the stars,

You are all the stardust.

You are every quantum display.

You are all the space within and without.

You are the entire universe, and beyond all beyonds.

You are the infinitesimal, the infinite, unborn-undying totality.

You are the ineffable, inexplicable mystery, in which all appearances dance.

 

* * * *

How is it that so many seers of this infinite, indifferent mystery,

Generate so much absurdity, that morphs into so much painful misery?

How much better for the all, it might be, to stay silent, to say little or nothing.

Daito Kokushi, fourteenth century Japanese Zen master of the Rinzai school, wrote:

“Wishing to entice the blind, The Buddha has playfully let words escape his golden mouth.

Heaven and earth are ever since filled with entangling briars.”

Hopefully, these way too many cogitations,

Will find their way to oblivion,

Before wreaking too much mayhem.

One can never discern how noble intentions,

Will be warped and perverted in the theaters of mind.

 

* * * *

All sentience is the awareness.

You are the awareness.

I am the awareness.

He is the awareness.

She is the awareness.

They are the awareness.

The same awareness is in all things.

Despite all imaginary concoctions to the contrary,

There is no other.

 

* * * *

Prior to consciousness.

Prior to sentience.

Prior to dreams.

Prior to words.

Prior to thought.

Prior to narratives.

Prior to forms, You are.

 

* * * *

Call it eternity.

Call it god.

Call it awareness.

Call it the moment.

Call it now.

Call it perpetuity.

Call it infinity.

Call it nothing.

Call it everything.

Call it ineffable.

Call it mystery.

Call it whatever.

It is the same nothing, it is the same everything it is, has ever been, will ever be.

 

* * * *

Science and all related fields, can never grasp the full truth,

Because truth, is prior to all things measurable,

Prior to all things theoretical,

Prior to all things born of consciousness.

It is the indelible, ineffable, intangible indivisibility.

It is the unknowable, inexplicable, unborn-undying mystery, prior to all.

 

* * * *

What could awareness possibly need?

What could awareness possibly want?

What could awareness possibly fear?

What could awareness possibly dread?

What could awareness possibly love?

What could awareness possibly hate?

What could awareness possibly believe?

What could awareness possibly see?

What could awareness possibly hear?

What could awareness possibly smell?

What could awareness possibly taste?

What could awareness possibly feel?

What could awareness possibly think?

What could awareness possibly know?

What could awareness possibly anything?

 

As is written in the Sixth Sutra of Manuel Schoch’s

Bitten by the Black Snake translation of the Ashtravaka Gita:


You are not your body, your body is not you.

You are not the doer, you are not the enjoyer.

You are pure awareness, the witness of all things.

You are without expectation, free.

Wherever you go, be happy.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the inherent mystery.

There is no deity to worship.

There is no groupthink.

There is no ministry.

There is no doctrine.

There is but awareness.

And it is free, to any and all,

Who have the insight to fathom it.

 

* * * *

It is imagination that craves, not the awareness.

It is imagination that fears, not the awareness.

It is imagination that dreads, not the awareness.

It is imagination that loves, not the awareness.

It is imagination that hates, not the awareness.

It is imagination that suffers, not the awareness.

It is imagination that delights, not the awareness.

It is imagination that cherishes, not the awareness.

It is imagination that trusts, not the awareness.

It is imagination that believes, not the awareness.

It is imagination that scorns, not the awareness.

It is imagination that lusts, not the awareness.

It is imagination that deceives, not the awareness.

It is imagination that lies, not the awareness.

It is imagination that cheats, not the awareness.

It is imagination that steals, not the awareness.

is imagination that creates, not the awareness.

It is imagination that preserves, not the awareness.

It is imagination that destroys, not the awareness.

It is imagination that seeks, not the awareness.

It is imagination that finds, not the awareness.

It is imagination that raptures, not the awareness.

 

The root of everything human, is the stew of imagination.

 

* * * *

All are mesmerized by the quantum matrix.

A few and far between awaken to that which all truly are,

But even they likely fall into slumber more than they might care admit.

Few can long sit in a cave, staring at a wall, and not be drawn out into the dreamtime,

At least occasionally for short bouts of drinking and whoring and sundry other disreputable respites.

 

* * * *

The small have their time, as do the large; all are predators, all are prey.

There are no survivors in this unborn-undying eternal mystery.

Only witnesses born into illusions beyond counting.

 

* * * *

We all wander in the same ineffable, eternal moment,

With entirely different perceptions, different worlds, different universes.

Pretty tough for imagination, in its never-ending swirl of space-time, to do anything the same.

 

* * * *

Yes, there is a supreme deity, and it is peering out through your eyes,

As it is through those of every other sentient creature,

Ever fashioned in all of creation.

And it is not that awareness that judges the creation,

But you, and all the other two-leggeds, across the human paradigm,

Who wrought what they see, into heavens and hells of their habituated persuasions.

Like Santa Claus in the Christmas jingle, everyone is keeping their lists, and checking them twice.

So many, wander about, believing what they think so important to some on-high,

But it is never more than the muddled miasma of imagination.

We all come and go; only awareness remains.

Untouched by any of it.

 

 

Soundbites

 

2023

 

Right here, right now, this very one-and-only timeless moment … Eternity … Bam!

 

* * * *

Existence is a daily grapple with the limitations of consciousness.

 

* * * *

True humility is a mind given over to the timelessness of awareness.

 

* * * *

You are stardust come unto to life, mystery come unto life, eternity come unto life.

 

* * * *

Dial into the eternal moment, and all questions, all answers, will become irrelevant.

 

* * * *

How can infinity be measured; science is bound by its limitations.

 

* * * *

It has all been patterned by natural selection since the first moment of genesis.

 

* * * *

Imagination is, within the vastness of awareness, both least and greatest common denominator.

 

* * * *

What need for religion? You have the moment, and nature is its expression.

 

* * * *

How can anyone know that which is oblivion, when nothing must be present to witness it?

 

* * * *

You cannot capture the awareness; you can only be it.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the moment, ever serene; consciousness starts, sticks, stops, and confabulates without end.

 

* * * *

Natural, spontaneous, unforced, organic process, is the sure sign of a timeless existence.

 

* * * *

Awareness: nothing more, nothing less, nothing but.

 

* * * *

Nothing is any moment the same.

 

* * * *

That which is ever-changing is not eternal; that which is eternal is not ever-changing.

 

* * * *

You are the mystery you cannot solve; only be.

 

* * * *

At the heart of awareness, all naming means diddly-squat; what is, is, no matter the sound it is granted.

 

* * * *

You are but a particle, wafting to and fro in the sea of mystery; all of it all the while.

 

* * * *

Every moment flickers the same.

 

* * * *

The mystery you seek is within and without; pure, simple, free, perfect, absolute, supreme.

 

* * * *

Whatever the source of the mystery, You are also; how could You not be?

 

* * * *

In every moment, a new opportunity to discern, the mystery streaming indivisibly within.

 

* * * *

The universe is but the gnashing of a morsel of dust, in the reality of the mystery that You are, as well.

 

* * * *

To believe awareness, is attached to any concept or form, is but vain arrogance born of human limitation.

 

* * * *

Nothing is ever easy.

 

* * * *

What else can truth be, need truth be, but awareness its Self, pure and simple and free?

 

* * * *

Nothing is free; breathe content.

 

* * * *

The return to nothingness is the dissolution of all things imagined, of all things born of consciousness.

 

* * * *

To wander untouched, untroubled, untainted, by the sensory theater, is the way of the eternal mind.

 

* * * *

Surrendering to awareness, to eternity, is a timeless moment.

 

* * * *

Ecstasy is right here, right now, for those whose fate it is to mine it.

 

* * * *

Nothing rules.

 

* * * *

How is it you know so much, but still do not know nothing?

 

* * * *

Doubt everything but the awareness that is your Self.

 

* * * *

There are many boundaries to explore, and they are all but ephemeral walls of imagination.

 

* * * *

Pretty hard to get the world out, once it gets its quantum nose into the tent of imagination.

 

* * * *

Eternal salvation is about being free of the fell grip of space-time born of imagination.

 

* * * *

There is only pure awareness, it suffers not; be free, die now, to all of it.

 

* * * *

You need not always give into the whims of consciousness.

 

* * * *

You are not doing that; the quantum matrix is doing that, thinking that.

 

* * * *

Destiny is a long-and-winding wander of sentience towards its given sunset.

 

* * * *

The abyss is the ultimate freedom; give over to it as often as you dare.

 

* * * *

Oblivion calls.

 

* * * *

Your dream will carry on as all dreams do; oblivion is the nonexistent destiny of all.

 

* * * *

Try as it might, imagination has never gotten its hooks into the moment.

 

* * * *

You are witness to a quantum dream.

 

* * * *

Within the ocean, an infinity of droplets; within every mind, the infinity of the ocean.

 

* * * *

There is only awareness; it suffers not.

 

* * * *

Consciousness has great difficulty allowing the stillness of nothingness to reign.

 

* * * *

If you are the body: agony and ecstasy and every variety of vanity; if you are awareness: meh.

 

* * * *

In the infinity of all eyes, there is but one witness; no need to give it any name or rank, other than You.

 

* * * *

The expanses of imagination, are but the ephemeral filament, of the thunder perfect mind.

 

* * * *

Nothing is free.

 

* * * *

Space and time do not really exist as more than imaginary concepts spun of quantum dust.

 

* * * *

Attention to breath is the portal to eternity.

 

* * * *

Whatever stage you tread, You are always right-here-right-now You.

 

* * * *

There is absolutely no need to define or measure or compare your Self.

 

* * * *

Nothingness is not a two-sided coin.

 

* * * *

A multi-dimensional, ephemeral dream of matter, with which You identify for a brief sense of time.

 

* * * *

Any given universe is but a neurological array; an indelible mystery, no matter how it is framed.

 

* * * *

Resistance to the reality within and without, is but an every-moment exercise in futility.

 

* * * *

Challenging to get a handle, on a mystery beyond measure; too small to see, too large to carry.

 

* * * *

Is not waking up every day, mystery enough, without adding a heap of gratuitous folderol?

 

* * * *

Who is the experiencer, when the passing moment, is over as quickly as it began.

 

* * * *

Eternity is a walkabout.

 

* * * *

Anything can end without a moment’s notice; so it goes, deal with it, get over it, move on.

 

* * * *

True religion is expressed each and every moment; in deeds are you known, assertions mean nothing.

 

* * * *

What clouds can ever touch the sky of eternity?

 

* * * *

It is not you that is reborn; it is the unborn-undying awareness, and it, only for a moment.

 

* * * *

Even the most bitter and poisonous and vile flowers, are the essence of the same mystery.

 

* * * *

Death is the oblivion of reality; we are all dead men walking, the how and when, not if.

 

* * * *

How can creator and creation not be one in the same?

 

* * * *

What is heaven but hope, and hell, dread; the nectar of awareness is prior to both.

 

* * * *

Bad breathing makes for an unhinged mind, wherein the eternal now, is whisked into time.

 

* * * *

The only thing sure, the only thing secure, is the awareness of the ephemeral now.

 

* * * *

Where does awareness begin, and where can it possibly end?

 

* * * *

The you that you every moment believe you are, is nothing more than a fabrication of imagination.

 

* * * *

And behind every face eternity ever cast, You.

 

* * * *

Breathe deep, breathe full; that is the born again-ness of every eternal moment.

 

* * * *

Consciousness is quicksand; awareness, bedrock.

 

* * * *

The notion of history is sculpted in countless ways, through the never-ceasing, indivisibly eternal now.

 

* * * *

What pathless is there to heaven, but through the eternal within.

 

* * * *

Life is but a few breaths, and back to sleep, back to sleep, in the eternal manger prior to dreamtime.

 

* * * *

If you want world peace, still that busy mind, and in awareness, take in a few deep breaths.

 

* * * *

What else do you possibly need, once simple awareness, is nectar enough?

 

* * * *

The immeasurable moment is without division; has there ever been more than one?

 

* * * *

Gravity cloaks the reality that you are drifting in the abyss.

 

* * * *

Eternity is a long timeless.

 

* * * *

The timeless mind engaged in time.

 

* * * *

This is eternity’s moment.

 

* * * *

Every human being chattering to themselves; the parasite of consciousness in every mind,

 

* * * *

The sun of another moment will rest on your face one tomorrow or another.

 

* * * *

Breathe into the awareness; breathe out from the awareness.

 

* * * *

The nothingness of the eternal, cannot be taught, only learned; and in the learning, process is all.

 

* * * *

Hard to savor a moment already long gone.

 

* * * *

If you cannot fit it all into a simple, timeless breath, then it probably does not matter much, anyway.

 

* * * *

It is a god-eat-god world; chew well.

 

* * * *

A universal mind, a quantum mind; how could it be anything less?

 

* * * *

Suspend knowing, forget everything; be the awareness, absolutely free.

 

* * * *

So nothing as to be everything; so everything as to be nothing.

 

* * * *

Before genesis, you are; after genesis, you are; in genesis, you are.

 

* * * *

Here You are, right here, right now; nothing else matters.

 

* * * *

What is your world, your universe, your existence, but a momentary perception.

 

* * * *

Staring into the abyss.

 

* * * *

Agony and ecstasy are in the realm of imagination; awareness has no time for them.

 

* * * *

The awareness is your magic carpet ride home; how much closer to God could you possibly be?

 

* * * *

Do not confuse what you think or what you do, with the prior-to-consciousness awareness you are.

 

* * * *

I create you, and you create me, and we each, in our own dreams, dance the same mystery.

 

* * * *

No, this form is not yours to keep for more than a moment at a time.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the door to eternal life.

 

* * * *

What can awareness possibly hold onto?

 

* * * *

There is no other place to go, nor mind to be in, nor witness to be; You are right here, right now.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the immortality You are.

 

* * * *

You are nothing more than your own worst imaginary habit.

 

* * * *

This is your song of god.

 

* * * *

Forget everything; remember nothing.

 

* * * *

Every moment is just as new, for any so-called master, as it is for you.

 

* * * *

Nothing is ever the same; loss is an every-moment fact.

 

* * * *

Would there even be a moment, were there not sentience to witness it?

 

* * * *

Every moment the same.

 

* * * *

Life is but a few breaths, and back to sleep, back to sleep, in the eternal manger prior to dreamtime.

 

* * * *

What is knowledge but busy-busy distraction, from the what is of the unfolding moment.

 

* * * *

What breath can ever hold any moment for long.

 

* * * *

Sentience is indifferent to your imaginary existence.

 

* * * *

Even thousands of karmic rebirths beyond counting, all happen right here, right now.

 

* * * *

The abyss yawns.

 

* * * *

It was knowledge that blinded the vision of Eden; it is awareness that renders it apparent again.

 

* * * *

Nothing is sacred; nothing is not sacred.

 

* * * *

Consciousness is a means, to playing out the dream of time; You are the awareness, not consciousness.

 

* * * *

Only in pure awareness are you, You.

 

* * * *

The moment is all.

 

* * * *

You are the same awareness, you are, have always been, will ever be.

 

* * * *

Here I am, there you are, both Self, wandering the same matrix of awareness.

 

* * * *

Embrace the eternal awareness, in which the quantum matrix vibrates the illusion-delusion you dream.

 

* * * *

Death is merely evaporating, back into the nothingness, that nothingness ever is.

 

* * * *

A mind at rest is an eternal mind, a no-mind, a quantum mind, an unbound mind.

 

* * * *

The time-bound will always be but second place to awareness.

 

* * * *

Awareness proves nothing.

 

* * * *

The abyss of oblivion yawns forever eternal.

 

* * * *

You are all alone in the moment You eternally dwell.

 

* * * *

The ever-present-nothing-special of awareness, is, without limits.

 

* * * *

The moment is not a yoke in which you must daily toil.

 

* * * *

Contemplation and meditation, are the means to explore and realize for your Self, the mystery You are.

 

* * * *

You are nothing more than an imagined character; locked in by nature-nurture.

 

* * * *

How are we not every moment lost in wonder?


* * * *

We are all empty vessels, filled with the churning nothingness of imagination.

 

* * * *

You are the totality, you are the mystery, by whatever sound you want to give it.

 

* * * *

Your quantum nature is indivisibly timeless; are you mad for seeing it, or mad for not?

 

* * * *

A faith so infinite, as to be unnecessary.

 

* * * *

Why would, how could, awareness, judge clouds crisscrossing its sky?

 

* * * *

Imagination gets the brass ring for another moment; awareness does not count.

 

* * * *

Freedom is in the clarity of awareness; not the quantum theater of sensation.

 

* * * *

Eternal life is forgetting everything; even that perceived but a moment ago.

 

* * * *

Being nothing in an everything world, is the challenge for any lost to doubt.

 

* * * *

The moment is the moment; whether or not you are there to witness it.

 

* * * *

Are there an infinity of moments, or just one? Count them if you can.

 

* * * *

How is it the mystery is not magical enough for so many?

 

* * * *

What name can stick to the no-name mystery?

 

* * * *

Every seer explores the mystery to whatever degreeless degree it calls.

 

* * * *

Every moment a push and pull between the eternal You and the imaginary you.

 

* * * *

To be inwardly silent, completely still – free of desire, free of fear, free of dread – is to be the eternal.

 

* * * *

Embrace the pain, dive into the wave, be the moment.

 

* * * *

Eternity is the timeless formlessness of awareness.

 

* * * *

Misters and mrs’s and miss’s and ms’s and mx’s, You are all the same mystery.

 

* * * *

Every moment is the same; consciousness being what it is, not all are equally endured.

 

* * * *

The Great Quantum will play out whatever theater You are conditioned to discern.

 

* * * *

If God is so great, why does he need anyone to affirm it?

 

* * * *

If you had never been told there was a God, would you have created one?

 

* * * *

Goals anointed, goals achieved, are but a moment in the process.

 

* * * *

Every moment, an offering to the whimsies of consciousness.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the grand voyeur of all eternity.

 

* * * *

Oscars to everyone and everything; astounding how perfectly all have played their quantum role.

 

* * * *

And how do you decipher that dollop of awareness but by simply being.

 

* * * *

The moment is That I Am; be the moment.

 

* * * *

Awareness stills through you as you move through it.

 

* * * *

The floodgate of eternity is accessed in the moment.

 

* * * *

Nothing to hope for.

 

* * * *

How can awareness ever not be immaculate, ever not be tabula rasa, ever not be the uncarved block?

 

* * * *

Awareness is the first and last frontier.

 

* * * *

Another day in the quantum charade.

 

* * * *

Look how you have given your Self over to the delusion of the quantum illusion.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the common denominator.

 

* * * *

Only in pure consciousness, is there freedom from the known.

 

* * * *

The masks of this mystery are but the imagination of this mystery.

 

* * * *

Take it to the quantum level.

 

* * * *

Is it a quantum matrix, or an imaginary maze?

 

* * * *

Awareness, neither is, nor is not.

 

* * * *

Let nothing rule.

 

* * * *

Vanity is an ever-present limitation.

 

* * * *

All existence has an expiration date, as does everything manifest in the quantum matrix.

 

* * * *

A certain partiality to oblivion is required to delve into the ultimate nature.

 

* * * *

Alone on a mountain, alone in a crowd, solitary witness to an ineffable mystery.

 

* * * *

Eternity is the nothing special wakefulness of awareness, of hereness, of nowness, of nothingness.

 

* * * *

You are not even the person you imagine you were a moment ago.

 

* * * *

The quantum nature never stops, until it morphs into a rock, and then the rock keeps moving, too.

 

* * * *

A void in the abyss.

 

* * * *

Imagination is a powerful god.

 

* * * *

Seek God in your Self.

 

* * * *

How can you travel time if it does not exist, and its sidekick, space, but quantum illusion.

 

* * * *

You cannot find God outside your Self.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the fountain of youth.

 

* * * *

The taint of time and space kaleidoscope in every untouched moment.

 

* * * *

Quantum so organized, as to appear real to all born, into the matrix they are.

 

* * * *

Awareness is timeless, awareness is spaceless, awareness is, awareness is not.

 

* * * *

The pathless moment ends all who’s, all what’s, all when’s, all where’s, all why’s, all how’s.

 

* * * *

Breathe in, breathe out, grasshopper, the moment does not care.

 

* * * *

Nothing happens in a vacuum.

 

* * * *

If there is a deity, it is awareness, and quantum nature its expression.

 

* * * *

And what is all this experience, really, but a memory the moment it is dreamt?

 

* * * *

Awareness is incapable of knowing any difference.

 

* * * *

Who-what-where-when-why-how is the center of nothing?

 

* * * *

For the human paradigm to wake up to its mystery, would take way more than a hundred monkeys.

 

* * * *

Consciousness requires awareness, far more than the reverse.

 

* * * *

Yes, you will forget this, too; oblivion is the fate of all.

 

* * * *

Plan as you might, creation is always about making it up as the moment unfolds.

 

* * * *

There is nothing to achieve.

 

* * * *

Nothing new under the sun; everything new under an ever-new sun.

 

* * * *

Every who, every what, every where, every when, every why, every how; the cotton candy of nothing.

 

* * * *

Looking for some god outside your Self is the wrong direction.

 

* * * *

There is nothing to seek, because there is nothing to find.

 

* * * *

From womb to graveyard, You are solitary witness to a dream, You every moment perceive.

 

* * * *

It is often in unbidden moments, that the clarity of awareness, the clarity of You, makes its Self, apparent.

 

* * * *

What is there to doubt in a moment?

 

* * * *

Where can there be a demarcation between any moment, but through imagination.

 

* * * *

Nothing happens all by its Self.

 

* * * *

Do you enter the abyss, or the abyss, unto you?

 

* * * *

Stop looking for this mystery to be anything other than what it is.

 

* * * *

As the view expands every moment, everything takes on a relatively relative stance.

 

* * * *

Though the world burn, though all creation perishes, You will ever abide.

 

* * * *

The rabbit hole abyss calls; can You hear it?

 

* * * *

To find yourself in a democratic geography, is a rare moment in a world of autocracy.

 

* * * *

Belief blinds one to the truth of the moment, to the truth of awareness, to the truth of eternity.

 

* * * *

The quantum matrix is bound only by its physics.

 

* * * *

To yearn to always exist, because You do, eternally so, but never in the way you think.

 

* * * *

Creation and creator are one in the same; it is you, and you are it, eternity, with a dash of illusion.

 

* * * *

The awareness is your fountain of youth; it is your immortality, heaven on earth.

 

* * * *

Rest assured, something will always happen in the quantum churn, with or without your witnessing it.

 

* * * *

Every moment has its choice.

 

* * * *

All creation is relative to those who witness it consciously.

 

* * * *

If you do not want, if you do not hunger, this moment, what will there be to fear or dread?

 

* * * *

What can you want from this moment, that is not already but a memory.

 

* * * *

Try not to let life make you too hard; an awakened existence appreciates at least the whiff of innocence.

 

* * * *

If you ain't no body, be nothing.

 

* * * *

This universe, and any others, are but motes in the abyss of eternal awareness.

 

* * * *

The entire human paradigm is nothing more than stories born of imagination.

 

* * * *

Nothing to do, and all day to do it.

 

* * * *

Nothing You need to do, no one You need to see, nothing You need to be.

 

* * * *

The mind bound to eternity is unassailable.

 

* * * *

Let go everything; be the pure awareness you are.

 

* * * *

Peer out as the detached awareness, not the imagined persona.

 

* * * *

The mind-body is a cloud in the sky of awareness.

 

* * * *

You must disengage your inner dialogue, your inner chatter, to be the awareness you are.

 

* * * *

Only in the great detachment of pure awareness can you be free.

 

* * * *

Look at a rock, and watch it change every kaleidoscoping moment.

 

* * * *

Self-pity, what a waste of awareness, what a waste of the moment.

 

* * * *

Own the awareness You are.

 

* * * *

Take in the moment, and all its sensory readings, as you would a gourmet meal.

 

* * * *

Imagination is a prison with quantum bars.

 

* * * *

Quantum matrix, quantum illusion.

 

* * * *

Tabula rasa knows no bounds.

 

* * * *

The word is only sound given concept, and no sound can more than echo through the expanses of eternity.

 

* * * *

No matter how rationally it is reasoned, this mystery makes no sense, whatsoever.

 

* * * *

It is the concept of god that needs changing.

 

* * * *

Consciousness, imagination, is the quantum fusion of memory.

 

* * * *

Imagination is about the becoming mind; awareness, the being mind.

 

* * * *

Odds are, the more you have invested in space and time, the harder the slog to the moment.

 

* * * *

Savor the moment, savor the awareness, savor the eternal, You truly are.

 

* * * *

Every moment, the same awareness, the same eternity.

 

* * * *

Toy with Mother Nature, and she will toy back in her own good timeless.

 

* * * *

Doubt is the key to eternity.

 

* * * *

Creation and destruction are indivisible; one is not without the other.

 

* * * *

Another day in the space and time born of the quantum mind.

 

* * * *

Awareness must remain eternally diligent if it is determined to reign.

 

* * * *

You are part of eternity every moment.

 

* * * *

To embrace creation is to accept the inevitability of destruction.

 

* * * *

You are creator and creation.

 

* * * *

A slow amble will get you to eternity as fast as any dash.

 

* * * *

One does not aspire to eternity through time.

 

* * * *

Awakening was what the mind is designed to achieve.

 

* * * *

Mind is the timekeeper until the clock strikes eternity.

 

* * * *

To intelligence, to wisdom, to compassion, to serenity, to mystery, bow.

 

* * * *

Everything you have ever done, ever conceived, ever naturally selected, has unfurled this moment.

 

* * * *

All creatures small to great are co-creators in this mirage of quantum design.

 

* * * *

A mind lost in the web of trivial pursuit, is a mind missing out on eternity.

 

* * * *

We are all the same matrix of awareness; more real than any video game can ever be.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the matrix.

 

* * * *

This world, this cosmos, this mystery, was made for you.

 

* * * *

When you die, so does your world, your universe, and everything you imagine, including your god(s).

 

* * * *

Consciousness is in the present, but can never be fully present.

 

* * * *

Your world, your cosmos, exists every moment you imagine it.

 

* * * *

My mystery is your mystery is our mystery is the one and only mystery.

 

* * * *

It is a mystery no one can solve, a mystery no one can solve.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the beginning of all ends, the end of all beginnings.

 

* * * *

Awaken to the truth you truly are.

 

* * * *

Savor the moment; it will never happen again.

 

* * * *

Prior to creation, prior to destruction, you are.

 

* * * *

They are all false gods.

 

* * * *

Analog clocks spin, digital clocks display, calendar pages turn; eternity never starts, never stops.

 

* * * *

How will you waste your moment today?

 

* * * *

The difference between me and you, is a quantum thing.

 

* * * *

History is recorded, history is erased, eternity is everlasting.

 

* * * *

Eternity is awareness, eternity is the moment, as small as it is large.

 

* * * *

My mystery is much greater than your God, because my mystery includes you.

 

* * * *

Something to do with quantum mechanics.

 

* * * *

How many moments have been left unattended because of bad breathing?

 

* * * *

How long would a moment be, had it a handle to which time might latch?

 

* * * *

I, Quantum … You, Quantum … He, Quantum … She, Quantum … Us, Quantum … All, Quantum.

 

* * * *

This is the first and only moment, for everything, and nothing.

 

* * * *

The filament of awareness, is the eternal me, my Self, and I; anything less is delusion.

 

* * * *

No matter how fast or slow it seems, it will always be right now.

 

* * * *

The ever-present more is an imaginary creature.

 

* * * *

Eternal life is forgetting everything, even that perceived but a moment ago.

 

* * * *

Holodeck, holoworld, holocosmos, holomystery.

 

* * * *

Let the knowing evaporate into nothingness.

 

* * * *

The awareness ever still; the quantum matrix ever kaleidoscoping.

 

* * * *

The effort is in the tussle between awareness and imagination, and the mind’s attachment to the latter.

 

* * * *

Every moment, your frame of reference expands.

 

* * * *

It only seemed like serendipity in the moment you happened into it.

 

* * * *

If there is a god, then surely it includes You.

 

* * * *

A quiet mind is an eternal mind.

 

* * * *

Imagination is an ever-churning hydra; the awareness, the eternal moment, is, without name.

 

* * * *

Awareness is here and gone before you know it.

 

* * * *

In every moment, a choice.

 

* * * *

Another unsolvable mystery, another unanswerable question, yawn.

 

* * * *

Where there is neither beginning nor ending, You are; as immeasurable as only the moment can be.

 

* * * *

You believe there is individuality in awareness? Show me.

 

* * * *

Your world, your universe, is nothing more than an imaginary dream; poof-gone as soon as you are.

 

* * * *

All aboard for the ride to eternity, and perhaps bliss, if you have doubt enough.

 

* * * *

Another moment that never happened.

 

* * * *

Getting in touchless with the awareness is the key.

 

* * * *

The world, the universe, the matrix, the illusion, is in your head every moment you let it in.

 

* * * *

You are the highest power; assume nothing less.

 

* * * *

It is less about what you do, than the awareness with which you do it.

 

* * * *

Awakening to a larger view is not a choice.

 

* * * *

Be quantum, one moment at a time.

 

* * * *

What are You but the universal mind, dreaming the quantum illusion real.

 

* * * *

Imagination, imagination, it is all nothing more than imagination.

 

* * * *

How can all the yesterdays and todays and tomorrows not be the same indivisible moment?

 

* * * *

It is a weak and vain god that requires you to believe in it.

 

* * * *

You are nothing more than a flesh-wrapped blob.

 

* * * *

You are the mystery, nothing to get all vain about, everything else is, too.

 

* * * *

It is in the moment through which space and time are traveled.

 

* * * *

Discern that every moment is a simultaneous act of creation and destruction.

 

* * * *

It is your mystery, and you will consume it as the algorithm deigns.

 

* * * *

Pure consciousness is the pure, timeless awareness of the given moment.

 

* * * *

Another point of consciousness, lost in space.

 

* * * *

Get lost in eternity.

 

* * * *

Breathe in the nothingness, breathe out the nothingness.

 

* * * *

There are no wasted moments, because the moment does not exist to be wasted.

 

* * * *

To fear, to dread, to loathe, to hate, your creation, can make for a challenging existence.

 

* * * *

Ride the razor's edge however the moment dictates.

 

* * * *

Dissolve into the moment.

 

* * * *

Disappear into eternity; continuity is illusion.

 

* * * *

Stardust come to life; imbued with the mystery of awareness, in one and all.

 

* * * *

Practice obliviating; cultivate and harvest oblivion.

 

* * * *

To see the mystery, you must be the mystery.

 

* * * *

Are You your unborn-undying? Take a breath, be here now.

 

* * * *

Hold nothing in your mind, as you would a dove in your hand.

 

* * * *

Every moment, beginner, master, You are.

 

* * * *

What better timeless than now?

 

* * * *

Each moment, another slice, another tidbit, of fate.

 

* * * *

Pay attention, or do not pay attention, it passes the same, ever the same moment.

 

* * * *

Only in the awareness of the moment, is eternity present.

 

* * * *

How is this play of consciousness any different than a supernova before it collapses upon itself?

 

* * * *

Eternity is tabula rasa; become eternity.

 

* * * *

Align the mind-body with eternity, or not, you choose.

 

* * * *

A mind full of knowledge, full of trivia, full of gossip, is not the eternal mind.

 

* * * *

To expand one’s frame of reference to its infinite potential is a rare calling.

 

* * * *

Pure awareness is pure mind.

 

* * * *

To give the mind-body completely over to the moment, is about as blissful as existence gets.

 

* * * *

The fluidity of the quantum matrix is not going anywhere.

 

* * * *

The universe is only as big as technology, and your mind, every moment, make it.

 

* * * *

Forget calling it God, call it the mystery it is.

 

* * * *

Be the awareness, be the moment, be the now, be the timeless, be the eternal; not the thought.

 

* * * *

Imagination builds airy everything, that dissolve in the light of momentary awareness.

 

* * * *

Life or death, every moment a decision.

 

* * * *

You have always been the same timeless awareness.

 

* * * *

This moment can be heaven, it can be purgatory, it can be hell, You decide.

 

* * * *

Are You, you, churning in the mundane, or are You, You, awareness, flowing in the moment.

 

* * * *

Consciousness requires a platform, awareness does not.

 

* * * *

Breathe in the moment, breathe out the moment.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the ground, and there is only one ground.

 

* * * *

Home is where all doubts have run their course, and the mind stills into its timeless beingness.

 

* * * *

Any given dreamtime requires some sort of platform for consciousness to play out its theater.

 

* * * *

Call it Mystery, not God.

 

* * * *

Awareness is the moment, or at least as close as these quantum mind-bodies have access.

 

* * * *

You are the awareness of eternity streaming through a quantum dream.

 

* * * *

Moving mind or still mind, the moment kaleidoscopes the same.

 

* * * *

In a nutshell, to see the eternal, you must be the eternal.

 

* * * *

To be afraid of your own creation, and to want anything more of it, how sad.

 

* * * *

Why would you embrace a god that does not include you?

 

* * * *

Surely, the mystery, the totality, is, without vanity or avarice.

 

* * * *

To think without thinking is the eternal no-mind’s way.

 

* * * *

Be as nothing in the given moment.

 

* * * *

Have no law but what the moment naturally commands.

 

* * * *

Go homeless, and breath in-out that birthright, pushing your cart down the quantum sidewalk.

 

* * * *

Be the quantum beingness you are.

 

* * * *

The moment is unscathed by time.

 

* * * *

You cannot hold on to anything for more than a moment at a time.

 

* * * *

The breath is every moment; are you with it, or caught up in some imaginary flurry?

 

 

2024

 

There is no groupthink, there is no dogma, there is no priesthood, there is only awareness.

 

* * * *

Consciousness imagines a continuity that has no ultimate reality, whatsoever.

 

* * * *

There can be but one truth, and no one owns it.

 

* * * *

Don’t worry, be happy, there is only this moment to care about.

 

* * * *

The momentary awareness is your sanctuary.

 

* * * *

There is nothing to work out.

 

* * * *

The world and all its mania, all its absurdity, loses all importance in the moment.

 

* * * *

Hard for consciousness to catch up with That which was never moving in the first place.

 

* * * *

There is no end to the myriad ways consciousness can cut the pie, it has in imagination baked.

 

* * * *

Yet another trifling moment, done and undone, in quantum timelessness.

 

* * * *

Hero or villain or nonentity, everyone has a story, in this dreamtime of consciousness.

 

* * * *

The false flag of consciousness, ever entices You back, into its foggy illusion-delusion.

 

* * * *

The esoteric is much ado about nothing.

 

* * * *

The void awaits.

 

* * * *

There might have been a time, but that moment no longer exists; existence being what it is not.

 

* * * *

Very much alone, this awareness.

 

* * * *

What makes you think creation will ever end, or ever begin?

 

* * * *

Awareness is neither close nor far.

 

* * * *

The eternal moment, the eternal awareness, the eternal You, is free and clear of all trespass.

 

* * * *

Nothing is nothing no matter the something it seems.

 

* * * *

Yet another here-now-long-gone example of how little it all matters, how little it all means.

 

* * * *

You are the mystery personified.

 

* * * *

You are the moment; not the thought about it.

 

* * * *

What is imagined, can be unimagined; the moment has a way of forgetting everything.

 

* * * *

What is an orgasm but an ecstatic flash of eternity’s oblivion.

 

* * * *

Men come and go, but eternity abides, awareness abides, You abide.

 

* * * *

Streaming on and on; eternally connected in that ever and ever, forever kind of indivisible way.

 

* * * *

An affinity for oblivion.

 

* * * *

Space and time have nothing to do with eternity.

 

* * * *

The moment has a way of forgetting everything.

 

* * * *

Scientific Method is the most rational, precise way, to examine this mystery, but it is far from infallible.

 

* * * *

The world you see-hear-smell-taste-touch is all imagined in a quantum matrix dreamtime.

 

* * * *

Your destiny is right here, right now.

 

 

Breadcrumbs

 

2023

 

All these years of scribbling have been both entertaining and wearisome,

In a sideways-topsy-turvy-inside-out-backwards sort of way.

Weave it all into some kind of enlightening story?

What, pray tell, would be the point?

It is done well enough for the rare few.

Think of all the videos I could have made.

Think of the following I might have cult-ivated.

I thank the gods for my insignificance, as should you.

I cannot imagine wanting or needing widespread approbation.

This garden orb does not require any more irrationality, any more absurdity.

You can thank or curse or ignore your Self, any time, any place.

You are, every moment, creator-preserver-destroyer.

You thank me when you discern your Self.

 

* * * *

Why do I even bother scribbling all this?

I really do not much care for what the human paradigm has become,

Or the future to which it is inescapably, accelerating exponentially, every kaleidoscoping moment.

A vision so dark, so dismal, so painful, that the imminent extinction,

Cannot make its way hither soon enough.

 

* * * *

Yet another weary moment flowers, through the endless projection of vanity.

 

* * * *

If these writings, these reflections, have merit, they will endure; if not, oh well, so it goes.

It has been enough to observe whether the quantum théâtre absurde of dreamtime,

Was as up to the mark set by all the self-promotion, by all the propaganda,

History has fed the masses as they chewed away on their mother.

My bet is that we will decline and fall, as all things ever do,

And all our creations, all our treasures, all our glories,

Will dissolve with the last whimper of imagination.

And the quantum abyss will not even shed a tear.

Nor I collect my winnings; for which I do despair.

 

* * * *

I, Awareness.

Awareness field.

Awareness infinity.

Awareness freedom.

Awareness tranquility.

Awareness indelibility.

Awareness sovereignty.

Awareness absoluteness.

Awareness indivisibility.

Awareness timelessness.

Awareness singularity.

Awareness totality.

Awareness truth.

Awareness joy.

I, Awareness.

 

* * * *

Looking to be a footnote in the history of mystery books.

 

* * * *

Waking up to yet another dreamy day,

Trapped in a body racked with one bother or another,

The mind willy-nilly between agony and ecstasy, exasperation and rapture.

Curious how thought can play the gamut between amusing and tiring from one moment to the next.

What ceaselessly pointless vainglorious absurdity, this much ado about nothing.

The appeal of ever returning to this manifest dreamtime,

Has pretty much run its course.

 

* * * *

Rich man's life on a dime, is how this life has spun.

Why go to all that work, when the pearl was there for the taking.

Of course, being content to merely be, remaining single, never going into debt,

And being happy to sleep on a couch, or in a van, were key enablers in my unplanned epoch.

All the monotony it would have taken to become rich and famous and powerful,

Would have been far too toxic, far too boring, for this plebeian spirit.

Far more interesting to swing from adventure to adventure.

To let the mystery set this destiny’s mortal course.

And somehow, it has reached this moment,

This keyboard, this cup of coffee.

How could I not be content?

 

* * * *

If you believe I am saying, there is not a supreme deity, think again.

If you believe I am saying, there is a supreme deity, think again.

Back and forth that whirling dervish as you are inclined.

But the truth is, I do not know, nor do I care.

I Am … What more need be said?

The moment is all.

 

* * * *

I thank the gods every day for being born in the Rome of current times.

And also to have been born a peasant, free of the weight of political and religious dogma.

With enough of an education, enough of a frame of reference, enough of a mind-body, enough of a spirit,

To rationally observe the human paradigm play out, through many lenses, its endless absurdities.

 

* * * *

Everything in this opus to the mystery is subject to editing,

Which generally means to a better rendering,

At least in the editor’s eye.

 

* * * *

If I was the fire-and-brimstone God that Christians have chosen to follow and worship,

My inferno would be a large amphitheater where all those who had been hurt or wronged,

Would be allowed to mete out their revenge upon those who had harmed or wronged them.

Every torture apparatus ever concocted in the history of humankind would be available,

For all the victims to exact any agony, as many ways, as many times, as they liked.

Everyone, the victims, and all their family and friends, would have their turn.

And those confined to this hellish fate, would suffer eternal damnation,

For as long as all the victims, and their family and friends, chose.

And God and Jesus and Satan would be sitting in the stands,

Cheering them on, laughing at every agonizing scream.

There are many evil characters throughout history,

Who are still tied down to their ice-hot slabs,

Crowds deaf to their pleas for mercy.

And all available to the roaring masses,

On an assortment of pay-per-view channels.

 

* * * *

To intelligence, to wisdom, to compassion, to serenity, to mystery, I bow.

 

* * * *

I am not saying there is not a God, or that aliens are not all around us; it is just nothing I have seen.

That we exist is an unutterable mystery that makes anything possible, but until I witness it for myself,

Or see proof that scientific method can verify, why should I waste time speculating or pondering hearsay? Long ago, I a few times wandered hills in the starlight offering myself up for abduction,

And here I remain, a true don’t-know-don’t-care, bona fide agnostic.

At least it is from-the-keyboard-pulpit honest.

 

* * * *

Oblivion is no worry to me.

 

* * * *

Oblivion is alright by me.

 

* * * *

I have many fathers, many brothers.

All the teachers, all the thespians, all the comedians.

All the men, of every character, in whose presence I have ever been;

They have all contributed to who imagination pretends to be,

In this absurd dreamtime born of sensory illusion.

In reality, I am but absolute awareness,

Austere, free, immaculate.

 

* * * *

My Mother

 

If I have not said or implied it elsewhere,

In this thirty-years-plus philosophical walkabout,

It should well be counted a good destiny’s good fortune,

To have been given a mother, such as I have had.

So calm, so rational, so intelligent, so good.

A modest, humble-to-the roots woman,

Of whom Buddha would be in awe.

Beverly Jean Kurtz-Holshouser,

Is her name, born September 4, 1929.

In this worldly mind’s quantum dreamtime,

She, such an unfathomable part, has performed.

She is the source, the seed, the blessing,

For this scribe’s life work and play.

 

Her loving son, Michael Jay

 

* * * *

What happens after death? … Don’t know … Don’t care.

Didn’t ask to be here, ain’t prayin’ to be stayin’.

Seen and done enough to be ready,

For some eternal rest in the land of oblivion.

 

* * * *

Nothing to hope for.

 

* * * *

I, Quantum.

Quantum field.

Quantum infinity.

Quantum freedom.

Quantum tranquility.

Quantum indelibility.

Quantum sovereignty.

Quantum absoluteness.

Quantum indivisibility.

Quantum timelessness.

Quantum singularity.

Quantum totality.

Quantum truth.

Quantum joy.

I, Quantum.

 

* * * *

In another moment, these writings would have had time to percolate, to distill,

Into a recognized work, that might have been influential in the play of human affairs.

But now, now time is no longer a luxury, and good intentions fall upon deaf ears, blind eyes.

What author can ever know, how his life work will ripple through time, how his snowflake will roll.

 

* * * *

Have always been partial to oblivion.

 

* * * *

Awareness is my deity, and quantum nature its expression.

 

* * * *

Let the one-percenters and their minions have their moment in the sun.

Let them spend their daze, churning madly, to keep their worlds afloat.

They make my world, my dance, possible; and much, much freer for it.

 

* * * *

Toying with oblivion, before oblivion toys with me.

 

* * * *

Nothing like starting the day with a good ponder with a stranger.

 

* * * *

I was commissioned by eternity to scribe it, not sell it; take it or leave it, no matter to me.

 

* * * *

Alas for fame that I relish anonymity.

Alas for greed that I have more than enough.

Alas for power that I allow all to go their own way.

Alas for vanity that I know it not real.

Eternity is subject to none.

Awareness is all.

 

* * * *

Have written off the human species as anything I would ever do to my Self again.

Why I keep talking and writing and uploading all this babble-babble is the mystery.

 

* * * *

Remember, all these thoughts, are the timelessly time-bound You, pointing to the timeless You.

 

* * * *

Another day behind the curtain, jousting quantum fairy dust.

 

* * * *

They keep coming, and I keep scribbling them down.

What else have I got going besides movies and the gym?

As pointless a life as can be imagined in this pointless arena.

All for a time that will far more than likely never come,

In our arrogant little playhouse of consciousness.

 

* * * *

Right here, right now, this very one-and-only timeless moment … Eternity … Bam!

 

* * * *

What could be more timeless than now?

 

* * * *

What better timeless than now?

 

* * * *

Imagination allows me to point out all its dirty little secrets,

Because it knows a gnat can do it little bother, much less any real harm.

There is no reason for it to fear the truth, to dread we will wake up.

It owns the human paradigm, and there is absolutely nothing,

Anyone can do to stop the inevitable decline and fall.

The Tralfamadorians are nodding their heads,

As I wander down the ‘so it goes’ isle.

 

* * * *

The amusement, the satisfaction, the enjoyment, of Self-reflection, is an ever-present preoccupation.

 

* * * *

My religion, if it must be called that, is embracing all that is, all that is not – the mystery – of which I am.

 

* * * *

Life or death, every moment a decision.

Another day; let the countdown continue.

 

* * * *

It is a sleeping world that allowed me to awaken, and leave this work for those who feel the call.

 

* * * *

Another day serving the mystery as best as vanity allows.

 

* * * *

This opus must find its own wheels; and whether it does or not, is nothing I can ever more than wonder.

No farmer can do more than abide the whimsies of Mother Nature to see the results of his labor.

No skin off my nose, what may or may not become, of all that has been set into digital.

My prize is having the good fortune to transcribe and edit it all, who know how many times.

The amusement, the satisfaction, the enjoyment, of Self-reflection, is an ever-present preoccupation.

 

* * * *

The task was to scribe this using current means;

To quietly disseminate it in Johnny Appleseed fashion.

For those who serendipitously find themselves in its possession,

To serendipitously pass it on to others, who might discern it for what it is,

And thereby perhaps pass it on and on and on and on as the moment ever morphs forth.

Hopefully, without the fingerprints of the revolutionary, the world could-never-will-never-shall-never,

More than vaguely imagine, as it has every other bygone willy-nilly visionary-slash-sage,

Leading-pushing-driving the human paradigm toward its certain extinction.

Quantum-absolutely no different than any microbial organism;

Our wandering meander through all things imaginary,

Through all things narcissistic-hedonistic,

Is but a twinkling in eternity,

The ineffable void,

Now.

 

* * * *

Where is the yoke in these writings? Where is the burden?

What yoke can the clarity of rationality ever create,

But a mindfulness to not accept any pretense,

At least as far as the ultimate truth goes.

We all have to survive, to abide, in some how, in some way.

The one-percenters have always set the tone, to which all below yield or perish,

But you need not give the insatiable beast more than the token morsels of vanity and greed it demands.

Play their theater, endure your stage, with whatever serenity and harmony you can muster,

In whatever dreamtime this ever-kaleidoscoping quantum garden manifests.

 

* * * *

I know when that aphorism is done,

And it is with a little blip of satisfaction,

That I attentively move on to the next moment.

 

 

2024

 

How is it that so many seers of this infinite, indifferent mystery,

Generate so much absurdity, that morphs into so much painful misery?

How much better for the all, it might be, to stay silent, to say little or nothing.

Daito Kokushi, fourteenth century Japanese Zen master of the Rinzai school, wrote:

“Wishing to entice the blind, The Buddha has playfully let words escape his golden mouth.

Heaven and earth are ever since filled with entangling briars.”

Hopefully, these way too many cogitations,

Will find their way to oblivion,

Before wreaking too much mayhem.

 

* * * *

An affinity for oblivion.

 

 

To Whom It May Concern

 

It is certainly a curious thing to have gone this mystical direction in life. Most definitely a road less traveled. As far as discussing it with others goes, I think, as with any specialty, any sphere – science, mathematics, music, sports, business, politics, et cetera ad infinitum – that we all tend to search out like minds to focus on our interests and passions. Scientists with scientists, mathematicians with mathematicians, musicians with musicians, athletes with athletes, businessmen with businessmen, politicians with politicians, et cetera ad infinitum. Our little “lost” tribe of seers, being somewhat scattered about the globe, are not always easy to run across. You just never know who will be sitting next to you in some coffee shop, bar, or park bench.

 

Personally, I have always been generalist and chameleon enough to enjoy chatting with whoever about whatever comes up. There is great freedom in anonymity. Many people I know quite well have very little if any clue about what I have done or what I have written. It has just never come up. I may probe and plant seeds, but do not worry whether or not they take root. Some minds are fertile; some are barren. It is just the way it is.

 

As far as staying connected with family, friends, and acquaintances goes, we each have to decide what is important to us, and it may be for some that burning bridges and moving on alone is only option they allow themselves. The high school class of my small rural town origin celebrated our 40th reunion a few years back, and those who came had a great time reconnecting and sharing their life journeys. Very few of them would ever be at all interested in my thoughts on things – many of them are true believers in one dogma or another – and I am okay with that. No point beating yourself over the head over things you cannot change.

 

The big view of it is that I am one of who knows how many awakened eyes in this magical mystery tour, as likely are you if you are reading this. Whether anyone else hears the call is something over which none of us has any say. Nor does it really matter. We may point the way to a larger vision, but it is each, abiding in their own set of capacities and limitations, who must, to whatever degree, wander the pathless land very much alone. We are but ephemeral seed crystals, of our own devices, for consciousness to do with what it will.

 

Everything I have written since 1989, except for a couple notebooks that were lost, along with a few other oopsie moments on the computer, is my gift to the future, such as it is. It is up to you and others I have befriended through the years to pass it on if you deem it to have merit. It has been an interesting pastime to give so much of my time over to it: to think it, to scribble it, to transcribe and edit it, to throw it about like Johnny did apple seeds. There may be in the neighborhood of five thousand pages worth by the time I exit this center stage. And what happens to it is for time to tell. I leave it to you to decide.

 

So it goes, either way. I played my part, I said my piece, I had my fun.

P.S. For best viewing online, using the largest screen you have available to explore my little theme park, is suggested. Scrolling down and down on a phone screen is just not going to give you the same entrée.

 

P.P.S. Regarding the name Yaj Ekim ... It is just a reverse spelling of the first and middle names ... Michael Jay Holshouser ... Mike Jay ... Yaj Ekim.

 

P.P.P.S. Coincidently, make of it whatever you will, or will not, Yaj is an Indian boy’s name meaning worshipper, sacrifice, another name for Shiva, a sage. And Ekim is a Turkish name for October meaning “sowing” (of seeds). All kinds of absurdity can be read into that by the many so-inclined – none of which was in mind when I came up with the idea to reverse the letters to my name. See P.P.S. for details.

 

P.P.P.P.S. Yes, I am Shiva. And so are You. No, I am not Shiva. And neither are you. Irony and paradox rule.

 

 

Th-Th-Th-That's All Folks!

 

Pointing to the whole elephant, as entertaining as it has been, has been an interesting lesson in futility.

Time to close down the show, and move on to an observation of silence mode.

Fare thee well, adieu, adios, auf wiedersehen, sayonara.

Regards and best wishes to all.

 

That said …

 

 

Stay Tuned

 

Given how this mind works, likely a few more ditties in the here and there,

For as long as these temporal lungs are still drawing air,

So stay tuned, you Wascally Wabbit.
