No gap..

 

Opening and closing

It might arise that

There is no gap

Between opening

And closing..

No gap 

No two...

Neutrality..

 

Neutrality

Is nothing

Between seeming

Oppositions..

And the oppositions

Appear as

Neutrality...

Stories of peace..

 

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..

Where is consciousness..?

 

Controversies 

Involve the location of

Consciousness in the 

Brain or on the outside..

A confrontation

Apparently  lodged in

A swirl of separation..

And perhaps awaiting

The peaceful arising:

Inside and outside are

Not separated...

Severing the words..

 

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...

Not..

 

Timelessness

Permanence

Without movement

And as movement..

Timelessly it's

What's happening...

Not

A word pointing

To the emptiness of

Seeming things...

A pattern is formed..

 

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 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...

Immediacy..

 

Immediacy

Is the simultaneity

Of life and death..

The appearance which

Lives as it dies..

Autumn's colors...

 

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...

No anchors..

 

Separated

Not separated 

Between

Not between..

No anchors

Apparently

And not

Apparently...

Simply not-two..

 

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..

 

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...

Illustrations..

 

No-separation

Cannot be illustrated

An attempt to illustrate

Finds separation..

Yet all illustrations are

Already not separated

As is this story...

Paradox for the searcher..

Life and death

Are not two..

Life is emptiness

That's the paradox

For the searcher..

Night and day

Darkness and light

Black holes and

Universes..all 

Of the same cloth...

Observing and projecting...(Wheeler)

 

Observing

And projecting

Are not two..

Emptiness appears

As projecting

As observing...

'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says it...May the universe in some sense be 'brought into being' by the participation of those who participate?

John Archibald Wheeler

Wholeness is home..

 

Wholeness 

May appear as

A number of

Pathways to

Fulfill a desire

To return home..

Yet the desire

Is another name

For home...

Sameness

 

Sameness

May sound boring

Yet when sameness

Declares its colors

And forms..this 

Story of boredom

May conclude...
