Self-Delusion

Loving bad opera is like
  loving good Campari
there is some
  self-deluding involved

Jhanic Absorption
  Be it Air or Nimitta…

Jhanic absorption
  is more like
Total dedication
  than absorbed

::

Mind versus Spirit
  So different…

The mind is all about
  agreement
  and alignment—
The spirit knows

Discovery

And so, I discover
  my innate tendency
to place things
  on automatic

And by the way
  Isn’t that what
  we all are doing
with the Universe

::

Once Upon a Time

Brahman fragmented
  into a trillion viewpoints
Then forgot them all

This is what all Atman(s)
  are now ardently
trying to remember

Story Length

A tale is as long
  as engagingly told
Not longer
  Not shorter

Hongzhi

Be empty
  and desireless
  cold and thin
Simple
  and genuine

God’s Fed Up

I am going to
  revoke sex
said God

But then the
  species will
die out
  cried we

Big loss
  said God

Yet, for a little while
  until extinction
mankind was
  at peace, happy

::

Intermittent Pleasure

I bump my head
  against a rock
because I love it so
  when I stop

::

This I Promise

The lazy thunder of lies
I swear I will never
  hear that man’s
  voice again

Liver, kidneys and
  heart agree
that would be
  a peaceful world

::

At Ease

Easing is a matter of
  opening every hand
you can find

::

 Soul Advice

You are not solid
You are not confined
  Leave your
empty head behind

Jhanic Absorption

Absorption
  means not doing
anything else
  anywhere
  anywhen

Barrier

We have no
  greater barrier
than our
  conviction
that we cannot

Conundra

She: He’s one of those
  people who says
condunra instead
 of conundrums

He: Who says conundrums
  and what are they?

::

Anapanasati

No thing is
  more important
than the air
  on my nostrils
in and out

::

Agreement versus Truth

Agreement can create
  relative truth
but never
  ultimate truth

::

Ease

Ease means
  open every hand
from the tiniest
  to the largest

whether atom
  or galaxy

::

Thoughts

Every thought
  remembers
  confirms
  or projects
a state of being

::

To Die Before Death

I strive to die
  before I die
that I may then
  at last
truly live

::

Think Bait

 Alluring thoughts arise
They whisper:
engage
  engage
  engage
  engage
