what a novel approach to enlightenment...

*

the sudden death of a friend due to natural causes

[blood clot to the brain. .he was a prince of compassion..

 a little younger than i.. he was fine at dinner & dead by morning] 

is gifting me with the awareness of how tenuous, how precious,

how fragile our simply being alive is

[..its like i'm walking around with this constant awareness now of how this entire physical universe

is but a speck of something so much greater that we can only begin to understand..]

it can seem that we live & die at the whim of the universe

& nothing we can say or do can change the day or hour of our passing

yet i can't help feel that there is something greater at work & play here

the spiritual priority of being 

in the eternal palm of the divine...

it seems the majority of the world goes about its business

as if we didn't know that you can not hide from the divine

people killing, lying , & stealing is nothing more than folks pretending

that the divine doesn't see them or care

when nothing could be further from the truth

but the illusion that infinite love is oblivious to something happening 

in the lives of the people, 

that the universe is somehow oblivious to or impotent,

or careless about the suffering of a soul 

extends to the conduct of nations & peoples 

yet what if the truth is it is infinite love that is allowing 

us, the infinite children of the light, 

our illusions of seperateness

from divinity 

so that we might work out our own salvation

our own path to realizing we are always & forever enlightenment

connected & loved & cared for  infinitely

by the source within the source within the source

within

everyone & everything always

as we live & take breath

& realizing these things is what our precious tempestuous 

earthly walk is all about

to our burning question

it will only do what is healthy for us

forgetting
just for fun
we are each already secretly divine
children playing enlightenment 
lightning squeezing star kness
up into deep blue sky. .
so drowning within the infinite
almighty conscious love 
giggling joy
the all knowingness of being,
that we can afford to explore
ignorance..
light trickling bleeding 
pretending to die..
ice dripping from the frozen finger
of a tree misting one moment before dawn...
still 

she kisses even half awake like time

deep road

is that journey we look to for cleansing

& purification

when we stick our head out the window of the speeding car 

into the cloying arms 

of  the nite sky

& bath in the warm breeze 

bath in the vista of the unfolding expanse

 of distance 

& horizonz jest

bidding the strangeness 

 & wonder

 to wash over us  

touch our rootz

caress our core

leave us blessed 

again

the solitude 

& silence 

of tires on open road

steering strait 

into the unknown

that billowing cloud against blue sky

against miles of nothing

nothing but passions

we carry 

passions we drag along

the brisk cold we even welcome 

waking us 

changing us 

reminding us

of what seems to have somehow slipped loose

or worse 

been dragging us away from what we know to be essential

deep road brings us 

home

to the nothing 

we have always loved 

& lost

& going inside 

we can always find again

in the milez & the whiles 

of the bleeding heart

love dancing on our wings

wingz hidden of course...

?

 

deep road calls & beckonz

invites & cajoles

remaining patient as we need

'til we need

& the game is on again

as the road knows 

this game will forever be

the long journey 

home

?

                                                                                      -  8.18.2005 eastern iowa

 

"...we live

 in a universe 

infinite

by design..."

?

so much of the journey is just 

empty

to be filled with

absolutely

nothing

loneliness & fear are of course ones constant companions from home 

yet

one can in the stillness

find love 

& the peace 

[that more often than not appears so elusive]

if only for a fleeting moment

& this somehow seems to be enough

to carry on with 

& even drive deeper into the journey

is this what keeps us moving

love or the promise of love

?

deep road

a deep road it is that teaches us

the wind 

the current

the wavez of energy

when to stay & when to leave

deep road teaches us

'i still love every one i have ever loved

only more'

deep road is letting

 go 

immersed in the movement

of all the world passing 

this same stillness 

within

that we usually try to fill

with the illusion of meeting our desirez

but the road won't always allow

us our distractionz . .

is it talking to us

in our aloness ?

is it calling us to an even deeper stillness ?

and the longing the traveler feels for the journeys end

the quest fulfilled

?

in the arms of the as yet unmet beloved

the hero dreams

"...in the past few months 

i have met those aspect of this self 

the scriptures, traditions,  mystics, & sage have variously referred to as

"the  thief", " the liar", " the monkey swinging thru the forest of the mind"

that modern psychology calls " the ego"

& the founder of christian science, mary baker eddy called "mortal mind" 

as opposed to "divine mind"

"the mind of god"

"the higher self " 

"the truest self"

or "the Self"...

 the ancestors appear to have made coded references to

 "the thief"

because it [ the ego ] is that aspect of the self/ conscious mind

 that steals the peace of mind of any & every moment possible 

by thinking of something other than the truth & joy of the moment 

thru distractions like worry & fear...

 

"the liar" 

because it [ the ego] uses illusion to convince the self 

that ultimate reality isn't 

in order to create & maintain the illusion of a person,

 a soul being separate from divinity: ones true nature

it does this thru distractions  like doubt...

 

" the monkey swinging thru the forest of the mind"

a paraphrase from the work of taoist master lao tzu

the monkey is the conscious mind unable/ unwilling to maintain a stillness 

quiet 

within which it becomes possible for anyone to ultimately realize the true nature of things 

instead the monkey [the ego] leaps about the walls of the mind without pause

from thoughtform to thoughtform to thoughtform

rather than peace...

 

i have witnessed my self being 

the false prophet

& the half-made sage

pretending to know more than i do which is ultimately not much if anything

for who is the one who knows

the universe it seems knows everything & as children of the divine we must be everything as well

so why would we need to "know" really

which all sounds pretty sage like 'til you're stuck on the side of the road trying to fix your car

or your girlfriend dumps you without a word...

so i've seen myself 

watched myself, witnessed myself

& it occurred  to me that 

everyone  might be experiencing this same thing yet thinking we're each unique

watched this ego at work & play

& realize even this awareness is a ploy by the ego to avoid death/oblivion 

by embracing  the spiritual path 

bargaining with the infinite for some way to survive the inevitable end: finitude

becoming what david hawkins refers to as 

"the spiritualized ego"

the immutable self remains un phased, un convinced, & out of reach of falsehood & illusion

yet ever present, ever loving , ever supporting

yet elusive

fall day at the breakwater, venice beach, ca 2004

according to my reading of the works of david hawkins [see library of light]

there are 2 kindz of people in this world:

those whose focus in this life is

 purification of the the ego

those whose focus in this incarnation is 

transcendence of the ego

each is infinitely loved equally by the non judgmental  universe

neither is better than the other in the eyes of the most high

 

what i find interesting is that the universe puts both on the same planet so unbeknownst to one another

to help one another achieve their goal

once upon a time this great knight heard about this great sage living deep within this great deep cave and went to seek him out whereupon when standing before him asking great questionz expecting great answers he was met with a great silence.    .                                  radiating back at him remaining the perfect mirror the sage waz compassion ....  the story iz told how the two remained  there for a time then exited the cave together each goin their own way.. but another version has it that the knight upon seeing into the silence, listening into the radiance alone had all his questionz  find answers before hiz very mind.. and knew then that he was the sage and the cave and the story teller and thus the blue muse of inspiration  for it was in witnessing compassion radiating thru holy silence within the cave of his own imagination or  contemplating the color blue in the clear sky that the hero realized who he really is, where he really comes from, and why o why he chose to come......

".. keeping ones peace, comes of constantly choosing to remain in divine communion, forever aware of & choosing surrender to the source of the divine within & without all things infinitely...ever choosing connection with that part of us that is forever in the presence of  the divine: infinite, everpresent, almighty,  conscious, love...harmony is our natural state...beyond the realm of things, & our minds, we are all & each infinite love, light, & grace...?"
