Knowing of how

A thought of

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...
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
Are not two..
Emptiness appears
As projecting
As observing...
Wholeness
May appear as
A number of
Pathways to
Fulfill a desire
To return home..
Yet the desire
Is another name
For home...
Sameness
May sound boring
Yet when sameness
Declares its colors
And forms..this
Story of boredom
May conclude...
