"The deepening perception
of the body's illusory nature
is one of the most profound
and inspiring realizations
we can have
to help us let go [of dying bodies and minds].

Deep listening
of our mind's transition-illuminating
flowing nature
is one of the most profound
empowering
enlightening

Everyone's great cause
projects them as our future's therapeutic hero.
So all against our health-intending causes
reject us as potential victimizers,
ostracizers,
impeachers,
disenfranchisers,
excommunicators,
criminalizers.

The trick is to see antagonists,
sources of trauma,
as part of protagonist causes you,
resource for therapy,
actively seeking out each...

I'm still reading Your Resonant Self,
by Dr. Sarah Peyton,
speaking of how contempt
destroys relationships
formerly cooperative
and, thereby, healthy.

Disgust about oneself
and contempt against Other
are interrelated,
like ego and eco,
like Yang and Yin,

"Humans seem to be capable of disconnecting from...

Monasteries,
both Western and Eastern,
traditionally practice:

The Way of Poverty,
A trusting Truth of Chastity,
And a Life of Obedience

To both spiritual and natural authority,
laws,
rules,
practices
both political and ecological
within their diverse sectarian cultures.

Yet this tripartite theme
of natural/spiritual discipleship
follows a nutritionally...

Look as far and as wide as you can, my friend, 
Turn your eyes towards the sky and try to pierce infinity-
This vast unknown- 
Ponder about its existence 
Let not a single thing unexamined 
Any...

Life is dynamic and constantly changing
Any thinking or verbal speculation about life
even with regard to the future 
is always based on the past
One may have an immediate awareness
beyond thought or verbal speculation
of one's existence
but one...

why this question?
why this need to question?
why this need to write about the need to question?

I do actually...

The hidden truth is much more 
Valuable than the apparent,
The inner self is much more
Precious than the outer,
Don’t look at the world as 
Something distinct,
As something alien,
It is part of you, 
You are part of...

ONCE UPON A LIFETIME

Aggravation waited.
Health always debated.
Material things created.
Mental capacity unstated.
History always elated.

Compassion will be desecrated.
Desire falsely translated.
Life is overly stated.
From the day we are created.
While we are...
