The divisive world we have created,

Is an outcome of separation from the totality.

Dualistic solutions to all the ignorance, all the confusion,

Posture upon the same conflict-ridden paradigm, and resolve nothing.

 

* * * *

A gourmet craves taste, a musician sound,

A perfumer scent, a masseuse touch,

A painter color, a scholar thought.

How enticing the play of senses and mind,

That to become a connoisseur in one field or another,

So many dedicate their brief mortal existence, in endless pursuit.

 

* * * *

Virtual reality is not just a digitalized computer fantasy.

The senses have created the cosmos with such precision, such exactness,

That you have yet to truly fathom, to indelibly discern,

That none of it is ultimately real.

It is software born of quantum programming.

 

* * * *

When one surrenders to insight, eternity emerges:

Infinite, timeless, pathless, unencumbered, serene.

 

* * * *

All paths to glory attain the same grave.

 

* * * *

Science dissects and names with great finesse,

But of what use is a universe cleaved to pieces?

 

* * * *

All existence in the unfolding present,

Has survived since its ineffable, immaculate genesis.

The unyielding capacity for absolute domination of this manifest realm,

Will be the human paradigm’s inescapable unraveling,

If it does not instead collectively, unanimously,

Realize a unified sense of guardianship.

 

* * * *

We are all spontaneously making up the rules as we go.

Playing so everyone wins, is not a game easily learned.

 

* * * *

Right living is not a statement of morality.

It is a moment-to-moment feeling of intuitive rightness.

It is playing out this illusive, dreamy theater, as effortlessly as possible.
