TOPIC: LOOKING FOR REALITY. |

|
Posted on Oct.30.2007 @ 09:17PM EDT by shayne
i tend to look for reality when it is apparent and right in front of my nose. this creates unrest. afterall what is their to look for? their is no secrets.
that which looks for the ultimate reality IS the ultimate reality. the self and world arise mutually.
i dont know if their is a god. i dont know if their is an afterlife. but this is redudant as this holy life is meant to be lived.

but it can't be looked at as "both" aspects
if anything, it is seen as one whole at all times
thereby getting rid of the need of time to be, one way, over any other, or one's need to be in any "one time" versus any other"s"
everything, everyone becomes valuable
we drop the "most valuable" lists
or i do anyway
and speak for no one, but myself, as in everybody, seen, as unseen

and again, getting past the theory, even the need to speak, we get down to living in the moment, here and now
my beard speaks, but i haven't been listening, but if my mind quiets down, the beard itself has a kind of language
just drank my last spot of tea, now i have an empty glass, i have stopped the thought extreme

Empty your cup. Wash your dish. Listen to the world around you. What is is. Know of your self. Be one with everything. Enjoy your day. |
