Seeking
The end of
Seeking..
Which is
Ending and
Unending
Already...
Pointing to nothing
Is a story which may be
Intended as erasure..
But nothing stands
As a word..suggesting
The futility of a word
To be more than a word..
Yet it might be said
The appearance
Of a word is empty..
Hence.the dilemma
And not...
Decay
Recalls the antonym
Flourish
And these words
Not separated
Mark the futility
Of describing what is
Happening...
Unknowing
Can't be known
Or not known..
However
Unknowing may
Appear as a story
Of one seeming
To know that
Unknowing
Can't be known
Or can be known...
Nothing
Appears as a story
A story all the way down
Nothing all the way down...
In separation
Life seems as something..
Yet there is nothing
Whispering as something
Missing...
No separation
So what can be said..?
Nothing
Everything..
Stunning...
Self help
Appeals to the one
Seeking new paths
To end the
Seeking which is
Already ended in
This appearance
Of self help...
Humility..
Humble work
For humble pay
And seeming joy
In the work..
Nothing appearing
As joyful nothing..
Pearl of great price...
Amazing..!
An exclamation
In a story of one
Finding there is
Nothing
Extraordinary
And no one
To make the
Finding...
Amazing..!
An exclamation
In the play
Of the one
Who is not there
To make the
Exclamation...
Opposites
Often defined
As cousins of
Dark and light..
However
Separation's appearances
Seem to cast opposites
As differences
Of all variety and stripe..
So that opposites are
Synonymous with
Separation...
The simple paradox
Of no separation:
The question
Of what this is
Dissolving in a
Separation story
That never happened...
Thoughts
Appear unexpectedly
Spontaneously..
Not for someone
Not for no one..
No explanation
Paradoxical story
Freedom from
Understanding
Or not...
Identifying
With a story
Is the attraction
Offered by
Separation..
Searching and
Attaching to a
Satisfying story
Is the path of
Knowing in search
Of not-knowing...
Nothing
Appearing..
That's
Everything...
Nothing
As stories..
That tells
It all...
Everything
Is everywhere..
Not explainable
Nothing more...
Death
As nothing
Appears as
Life...
Nothing
Is the territory
So are the
Maps...
No
Appears as
Yes...
When
Nothing appears
It won't be known...
Nothing appears
As no-thing...
Non-duality
Is about nothing
About which
Nothing can be said..
Nothing
Cannot be described
Every description
Is already nothing...
Nothing
As a word
May seem to
Be something
As would be
A substitute word..
What is nothing?
Well..nothing at all
And not even that
And not even
And not
And
Nothing is the end
Ending of searching
And of course
Nothing cannot be
Found...
A polarity
Nothing and everything
Without separation
Nothing dancing...
Nothing is happening
Really..?
Happening is nothing
Happening...
What's between
Seeming polarities
Is nothing..
If nothing moves..yes
Seeming polarities...
Life seems about
Coming to terms
With nothing
With no terms available...
Much ado about nothing!
I am the doer
What I do
Is what I am..
A statement of
Separation..
An identity
With the wave
Separate from
The ocean..
A beautiful story
Which may not
End..though a
Nagging story
Of desire may
Tag along...
Predictions
Are thoughts
Arising presently
Claiming a
Knowing of how
What is past is
Pointing to
What will be..
A thought of
Not knowing
Unfolding as
Predictions...
Is-ness
Appearing as
Movement
Seems to
Separate
Here and there..
Which tells
A story which
May deceive or
Explode as
Already
Is-ness...
Beliefs
Grounded in
Separation
Reinforce
Synonymous longings
For something missing..
A story
Which may suddenly
End..or not...
A reported
Convergence of
Science and spirit is
Seen as evidence
Of a coming
Realization of what
For the millennia
Has evaded so much
Searching..
Such is a story
A beautiful story
Of futility writ large
Not separated from
Infinite expression..
Institutions
Attempt to define
What is not definable
So that adherents
Might own a set
Of concepts..
Which when believed
May seem idolatrous to
That which can't be
Defined...
Not
Is infinite and
Unknown
Appearing
As known...
Naming
Applies the appearance
Of separation to what
Cannot be separated..
Naming is the story
Of what cannot be
Named...
The search
Is an expression of
What cannot be found...
Nothing
Is hidden in
Language...
No difference
Poses as
Difference...
What appears
Seems a zebra..
Yet
Appearances
Are nothing at all
And not even nothing..
Yet
There stands the zebra
Stripes and all...
Thought for the day....... "Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.” James Joyce
Repetitions
Of words
May breed a
Spiritual path
A self help plan
A religion..
(A caution found
on a box of
nothing)...
Descriptions use words
Of course
But each word automatically
Suggests its opposite..
A word without an opposite
Is not a word..
It might be said: no-word
Appears as that word...
Opposites
Collide and nullify
A story of opposites..
Continuing:
Nothing then
Appears as
Opposites...
Directness
Is sometimes posed
As the immediacy
Of a realization
By no one..
Yet like all words
There are simultaneous
Unavoidable opposites..
Oppositions point to
The slippery nature
Of all that is said..
Yet words in use
Are already and
Perfectly complete...
Neutrality
Defined as that
Between seeming
Oppositions
Not red and not blue..
Neutrality poses as
The emptiness of
Each opposition...
Finding a story
To be a story
Is the peace
Seeming to be
Hiding in all
Stories..
You are a story
As am I
As are words
And words
Combined..
Controversies
Involve the location of
Consciousness in the
Brain or on the outside..
A confrontation
Apparently lodged in
A swirl of stories..
And perhaps awaiting
A different story:
Inside and outside are
Not separated...
Not knowing is
The emptiness of
Knowing..yet
There seems that
There is knowing
Of the words used
In the telling..
Seeking a fix:
Erasing the words
Is another story
Using more words..
Oh well...
Timelessness
Permanence
Without movement
And as movement..
Timelessly it's
What's happening...
Not
A word pointing
To the emptiness of
Seeming things...
Seemingly
A pattern is formed
And named..
Some say projection
Others observation..
Or the thought arises:
Not-two appears as
Patterns
Projections
Observations...
No self
No separate self
No autonomous self
No individual
No separation..
That seems to be
A bridge too far
For the searcher
On a path and
Retaining the self..
It's the story
Of the persistence
Of a belief in
Separation...
Autumn
Appears and
Seems as a season
Between two seasons..
Yet the appearance
Of colors and pumpkins
Is instantaneous as are
The mappings of the
Seasons...
Simply not-two
Modifies not-two
While not-two
Points to no
Modification..
Yet not-two may
Appear as
Simply not-two and
As pointing to
No modification..😁
Assuming a future
The evidence is in
Preparation for the future
Is well advised..
Although the future
Will likely be different
Than visualized..
This old prescription is
Often repeated which
When appearing empty
Reflects no freedom
And no bondage...
No-separation
Cannot be illustrated
An attempt to illustrate
Finds separation..
Yet all illustrations are
Already not separated
As is this story...
