La mente religiosa
El bien y el mal
Queremos límites porque fluir es demasiado libre. Buscamos los límites como niños, pero buscar en el sentido de averiguar si es que existen, no de encontrar dónde están. Pero entonces se convierte en encontrar límites en todas partes, nos queremos limitar, ordenar. Ordenar el caos se ordena.
La mente obliga al cuerpo instintual a ordenarse. Entonces tengo una experiencia mísitca y despues hago reglas para volver a eso - VOLVER! - como si eso siquiera fuera posible! Es ridículo. Entonces hago reglas basadas en lo que vi en ese momento y en el miedo de perder algo (que ya se fue) y las sigo...
orden...
para contestar las preguntas
o porque creo que me (nos) conduce a algo mejor
Es como un desenvolvemiento que sólo se puede observar, no dirigir.
Una flor que se abre
A su tiempo y forma
Influenciada por una infinidad de factores
Entonces te abres y simultaneamente te ves abrir
Cuando comienzas a juzgarte, comienzas a juzgar a los demás.
Me resisto a decir "plan" porque no creo que sea premeditado, pero hay algo impulsando todo esto y sólo hacemos nuestro papel, o él nos hace... somos inseparables de él, nos forma. Somos nuestra historia, en carne y hueso. Somos nuestro propósito, no es independiente de nosotros. Nuestro propósito es el ser, y creo que no tenemos control...
Tuve mi propia mini-religion, que nació de una experiencia hermosa, efímera, y para que se repita intento recrear las circunstancias. En ese momento, algunas cosas eran Verdaderas para mí, entonces me aferro a ellas y reprimo el Ahora, mi tan querido instante eterno. Y creo reglas que me confunden. Creo que el proceso de toda religión es parecido.
Y es así que
de a poco se van cerrando los ojos.

the danger of the guru
anytime you accept anything as your guru - buddha, jesus, a teacher, a mountain, the Earth, ancestors - you are giving up your own light and power. you must succumb to who they are, how they are, what they say, and your every thought turns to them. you can not be in the here and now if you are thinking of someone else, somewhere else and you will never find your own truth, or your own path to truth.
enlightened beings are not the answer, just a finger pointing in the direction. use them, break yourself down, but know when to walk away and look within (now).
everyone talks about jesus this, buddha that, so-and-so says this, a bird is like that, but once you start depending on these things, you lose the possibility of enlightenment. you are accepting that they are someone you can never be who has been places you can never go and seen things you will never see.
it is a glamorous idea to give up everything and follow a guru but you are just trading your ego for theirs, trading your searching for their answers.
it is not the same for me to tell you water is wet as for you to jump in the ocean.
the Truth lies not within but not without, in it there is no within or without, but each person can be a vessel for Truth... but only if each person is present - you can't follow someone into that place and trying to do so is dispersing your energy and yourself :: breaking apart the vessel.

what if
we live in a world built based on the suffering of others, of their toil and petty compensation.
those who struggle to survive are the ones who are keeping us alive, feeding our habits and bodies.
and this can be because we
are unable to relate to each
other (don't even mention animals and plants)
separated by barriers of history,
language, "culture," religion, fear
everything is a result of circumstances.
every name, "person," is a result as well.
of culture, family, genes
and we give these circumstances
meaning through gods
they can't possibly be random
what if random and purpose are nothing
but creations of our egos as well?
like good and bad. it's not that it's
"random" but it also was not "done"
or created with a motivation. it just ____.

no knowing
in this waking life
i don't know what to do
when the mind is quiet
there is no knowledge
no knower
everything seems foreign
i do not understand it
yet it is a part of us
we are one
no parts
no parting
always unified
no unity
without separation, how can somethings
come together?
the courage to die
mystics wrote the scriptures!
they can not be taken at face value
instead, find the scripture that is not written
anywhere
one source, many poets
all swaying in the same breeze
all blowing
now i vanish
and float away from nowhere
