Single View

The I-library contains
  and reflects just
one single point of view

(of a trillion, trillion
trillion, et cetera views)

How could this
  tiny fragment
of the whole possible
  discern the truth?

Very Wise Wolfe

Robert Wolfe once
  pointed out
that “the search ends
  with the searcher”
So wise

::

Birth and Death of Ego

The I-Notion is
  held in place
by volition—
  aka free will

This means, of course
  that you are free
to let go this notion
  —any time

::

Sleight of Mind

“I” is just a
  sleight of mind
“Mind” is just a
  sleight of mind
The sleightest

::

Sages and Saints

The Earth is
  enveloped by
ignorant darkness

Here and there
  though very
  far apart
a pinprick of light

These lights
  have a name

We call them
  Sages and Saints

::

On Scientology

Hubbard’s true fallacy—
  Teaching a permanent
everlasting (individual) “I”

Surrender this “I”—
  and you also surrender
all of “I’s” problems

all of “I’s” time track
  with its implants
and engrams and
  other fetters

Surrender this
  individual “I” and
be the clearest
  of Clears

Looking — Seeing

Atman (I) may do
  the looking
 but it is Brahman
  (true Self)
who sees

for

Atman is a
  figmental fragment
of Brahman—
  Eye vs True Self

::

Images/Theories/Illusions

My mind’s capacity for images
is like Santa Clause’s sack
which fits on his sleigh
while containing presents
for every child on earth

My mind’s capacity for theories…
My mind’s capacity for illusions…

::

Viewpoint

I, aka Atman
  is but a fragmented
  Brahman point of view

::

Sweetest Pleasure

My sweetest pleasure—
 when the unbelievable
wings believable

When the could not possibly
  wings very much can
The thrill of knowing

::

True Herd Mentality

A thousand pigeons
  It only takes the one—
and they are all airborne

::

View Point

I am but a slice
  of forever sky
looking out at
  from this view

::

Atman vs. Brahman

Little I is firm
  and noisy
Big I is both
  silent and
  featherlight

::

Lawn Care

I know to mow
  my lawn
when real estate
  prices ‘round me
start to drop

::

Clarity

Amazing
  Rober Wolfe
  makes the
  unfathomable
  fathomable

::

Metta

Every view—
May the one true sun
  rise for you
May you know peace
  and strength
  and letting go
May you know grace
May the stillness
  inside you
  guide you
May your angel walk
  beside you
May you find your way
  back home

Osmosis?

I hoped that owning
  Holy books
would rub their
  Holiness
off on me

How though?
  Osmosis?
I have to report
  not very
  successfully

::

Ego Ties

The many
  disappointments
  I have caused
yield strong, lasting
  I-fetters

::

VR Goggles

The best possible
VR Goggles?
Your very own body
  of course

What Is I?

I is a bit of
  patchwork—
of a trillion
  trillion
memories

The common
  denominator
among all of them
  is the I-view

Cut the I-view off
  at the source
and all those
  memories
will vanish

What remains
  is truly You

One clause in
  the I-view contract
read “You mush record
  every now.”

As an honest
  law-abiding I-view
like a fool you
  signed and did

Much to your
  chagrin when you
  discovered that
you could not
  turn it off

::

Expansion

How to swell
  beyond the I-skin
How to fill
  the room with
  happiness

::

Futility

To out-think thinking
  is more or less
like trying to
  outrun running

::

Reading Vedanta

Reading Vedanta
  is more like
  reminiscing
than anything else

and

I seem to prefer
  reminiscing
before letting go—
  very strange

Gotta change that

::

Us Midwives

Fetal thoughts
  remain unborn
unless we reach
  for them
to give them birth

::

Advaita Quandary

Am I ready
  to let me go?
Oh, I don’t know
  I’m pretty
  precious

::

Death Wish

I wish I did not
  have to breathe
I wish I could just
  sit in stillness

::

The Real Skill

The skill is seeing
  through
the idea of it
  to the thing itself

::

Philosophers

All true philosophers
  are not only “we”
but “I” with each other

::

Selves

The little self
  has a thousand
  seams and stitches
The Big Self
  has none

::

Sacred Syllables

Ease to Still
  Aware to Am
Seven sacred
  syllables
to guide me

::

The Pacific

The Pacific Ocean?
  Oh, yes, indeed
it does go on
  for a bit

::

This Old Body

Me to God:
  You can have it
God to me:
  Don’t want it now
—all used up

Oh, well—
  Guess I’m
  stuck with it

::

History of self

I did not decide “I”
  ages ago—
I do every moment

::

Shadows

A shadow cast
  by a feather
is as dark as that
  cast by a knife

::

Sun and Moon

He looked at the sun
  and said
You know, that moon
  is really, really bright

::

Discovery

I just discovered:
  Dogs cannot shit
and bark
  simultaneously

::

Vichara

Who am I?
To whom this, that?
Self-aware
Discerning selves
  to stillness

::

Purgatory

Just being in stillness
  strikes me as a
clear, joyous purgatory

::

Private Maya

The mind is like
  a private Maya
helping the Self
  Illusionize

As would an
  auxiliary engine
or a
  servo-mechanism

::

Word Play

An interesting
  question:
What is the
  quiddity
of a pound
  sterling?

::

Sprung a Leak

This morning
  my mind
sprung a leak
and some lovely
  sentences
  escaped

::

Questions

“Who am I?”
A more revelatory
  question might be:
“What is I?”

::

Silver Lining

Worst silver lining
  ever:
struck by an
  empty, speeding
  ambulance

::

Auto Dissonance

A Miata with
  disabled
license plates:
  cognitive
  dissonance

For it takes a
  circus quality
contortionist
  to get into

::

The Egoic I

The I is a thick lens
  a filter, a tiny
constricting glass tube

a binding constriction
  we voluntarily
squeezed ourselves
  into

that we should enjoy
  our little selfdoms

::

Spiders

So, Miss Spider
  kills Mr. Spider
after lovemaking

Existence

Original lie:
  You do not exist
Original truth:
  You do
