Thought of the day

death’s the ultimate earth life test
a reality check that chokes
what we hold onto fate does wrest
whence we see this dream life’s a hoax

yes, the physical life does seem to be a bit of a hoax (when I stop and deeply think about it)

Real while it lasts but yet illusionary, where the key inquiry is, ‘who am I?’ ~ which we discover not with mind but in silence, in meditation, upon dropping all conditioning culture imposes and vicarious knowing of religion based scriptures.
