The Amazing Sutra of One Thought

I see that I am just One Thought.
God’s image – the very core
at the center of the center;
nothing spinning off into endless supposition.
Nothing branching, leafing or imagining.
No platforms of consciousness, realms,
no parallel dimensions, no other existing, 
no stasis, no fleeting.

No conditioned realities, no division of reality.
No conditioned creation – therefore create,
no multiplication, no duplication or variation,
therefor understand all differences
and enjoy.

Not these words, no yesterday, no tomorrow,
no today.
No being, no nonbeing. 
Not two, 
nothing excluded, nothing separate,
just this singularity – absolutely
empty of condition.

One seed thought – just one.
Be like a black bird that shines 
in a dark featureless night,
knowing you are 
all that is, was and ever can be.

news tips

in materials science and nanoscience we do not produce strange chemicals or chemistry.
the divestment from chemical engineers and turning in of the repetitive research violations beneath our electrical engineering controls is not cartel, only a correction of the development grants legally allotted to firms to coordinate a conclusion to production lines and manufacturing processes.there is no further material extraction allowed from the universal laws of physics than can be validated in the cost analysis.  human beings can not be manufactured, therefor budgets are cut, payrolls are dumped and as people are dying in the streets, the tax revenue must shift to housing laws and overbloated county worker payrolls endure layoffs as a buy-product of a failure to progress with the times.

Perfection

Perfection

Last night I was back in the valley of my dreams
a place where everyone wears clogs with uppers
of leather that sometimes loosens; my job was to fasten the leather to the wood with nails that never rust and they said: 'tis man is a good cobbler's assistant, nifty with a hammer.”
There was a picture-postcard village where one has to take the clogs off before entering, not as bad as it sounds because everyone wears woolly socks
When it was decided that clocks disturb time they were banned, but dogs bark at noon
the valley is a perfect place to live, alas the ting with perfection tends to be onerous, therefor I was glad when it was morning

Premium Member There's a dead horse in my bathtub

I resist the urge to write of what I allegedly know for I am unsure of where I gathered the information and therefor unsure of whether I know it or not.  As you can see this poses a strange conundrum as I may be beating a dead horse leaving me with the confusing dilemma of explaining why I beat the horse to death in the first place.  Granted it is a metaphorical horse and as such was given life through my personification of its being and undoing.  Thus, I keep it in the bath tub for use as a subtly stupid response to inquiries such as “how’s it going”and “what’s new”, to which I reply: “There’s a dead horse in my bathtub”.

I once knew that 2 plus 2 equaled 4.  Not so sure anymore as I never accounted for inflation, deflation, tariffs, or the rising heat index as the planet shrinks and the stock marked rates crypto currency and jelly beans have been outlawed.  Remember, penny candy, jelly beans, paper with sticky sugary dots, Mary Jane’s.  Probably not.  But I digress as presently you can’t get a thought for a penny as in “a penny for your thoughts”.  It now requires filling out a 12 page terms and conditions document and a 25 dollar filing fee.  This may account for the reason so many are presently thoughtless or worse yet that when one person has a thought so many grab onto it and repeat it parrot-like until they start to argue over who’s thought it is or was.  This usually engenders a plethora of lawsuits over the violation of someone’s “intellectual” rights.

Premium Member My Pet Mouse Louie, a Connoisseur of Cheese

My pet mouse Louie is a connoisseur of exotic cheese,
But when it comes to gratifying him, he's mighty hard to please!
I have my own choice of cheese, therefor, 'tis an ongoing clash,
Between me and Louie at which he has become somewhat brash!

If I set a snack of limburger before him, he'll turn up his nose,
And I learned mighty quick to no longer on him that crud impose!
I happen to like a simple cheddar but Louie will clearly voice,
His desire for an expensive gouda if he had to make the choice!

We both abhor cottage cheese on that we can readily agree,
But he savors bizarre cheeses such as Greek feta and French brie!
The latter two I can barely tolerate and well-nigh cause me to retch!
I hate to divulge this but Louie is becoming a bothersome kvetch!

Lately he insists on me catering ricotta, swiss and mozzarella.
(Ain't gonna happen, you can bet your life on that, little fella!)
Alas, my dilemma was solved by my cat who relishes tasty mice;
Louie was devoured by ravenous Jeff the cat which wasn't very nice!

No One Can Forget Ex Love

You were stole my heart.
But i found it back again.
Even though you were put it in capativity.
Someone somehow rescue it,as im towards to die because of anxious.
The one who have a spare heart to somesome.
Now am happy because my heart escape from on your hands.
This shows that your are not a proffetional kidnaper.

Although my heart found true home.
It is struggle to forget where it has stolen before.
How can i forget but...
When i see something belong to you, suddenly i recall how far im from.
My sad and painfully tears has fallen and happiness and sweetness tears has fallen as well, so how can i forget to remember.
Histories has recorded, but future not yet.
As no one can predict tomorrow.
Therefor how can i forget all this memories.

Painting In The Garden

I am a muse unto myself
drawing my mind on
broken mirrors 
Shards assemble like 
puzzles for expression
painting a future
drawing nearer 
My rearview is perfect
picture
that is insightful
in my eyes
I learn from all that I
experience
therefor I am
forever growing wise
My truth makes a fool
out of lies
because they're false
& never real
Some fools will set eyes
on solid truth
looking for things
that they can steal
It's amusing how real
it can be
but it's not a joke
& never funny
Runny lies are like eggs
with feet to boot
ready-made for mouths
forever running
They move with a rhythm
like cunning snakes
out of place in
God's garden
Not pythons but mocks
on dirty grounds
in dire need
of one's pardon

Premium Member The Thief Comes To Kill, Steal, and Destroy John 10:10

"The thief (that is the devil) comes to kill, steal and destroy." John 10:10 ***

"Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8

"No one can enter a strong man's house (that is Satan) and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man than indeed he may plunder his house." Mark 3:27

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8

He (the devil) was a murder from the beginning, and holding to the truth, when he lies he speaks his own native language, for he is a liar and the father of it." John 8:44 NIV

"Submit yourselves, therefor to God. Resist the devil and he shall flee from you" James 4:7

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both body and soul in hell." Mathew 10:28 

Commentary***

The devil really is a thief! He seeks to kill, steal and destroy you, both your body and your soul in hell.  God compares the devil to a roaring lion, on the prowl seeking to devour you! Satan was a murder, and a liar from the very beginning.  He invented both lies and murder.

What defense do you really have?  Instead of yielding the right of way to the devil, resist him! Submit to God, because He causes the devil to flee from you.

Don't be afraid of either man or the devil, be afraid of God instead. He alone can destroy your body and soul in hell.  Why not have God on your side, by trusting in Him today? Why not accept his free gift of everlasting life without any further delay?

Love in Christ Jesus!
