To not know is ignorance.
To know is illusion.

Maps do not make the territory, nor paths the landscape.

 

“The stars incline us, they do not bind us.”

― Chloe Gong, These Violent Delights

Simplicity of Seeing and Being

 If they only knew the power they have,
they'd have no need for all the elaborate pontification, posturing, pretending, or pretenses of power.
They would stand serenely in the great simplicity of their being.
They would become greater than any concocted image or fantasy which their shallowminds could conceive.

But instead, with ego at it's head,
they play these silly childish games of pretend.
Why all the gaudy displays?
Is it really just "marketing"?
I think it is something more devious,
but we are so surrounded,
that we cannot even see.

Look where our worship of marketing has gotten us.
If you expect to use the same tools of the fools who have set this world ablaze,
to save it instead,
well,
we're all as a good as dead.

There will be no Great Awakening,
There will be no Grand Reset.
We are all just repeating the same mistakes and bullshit,
Which has come and gone,
again, again, and again.

No Gods, No Kings, No Fantasy: These longings make this world a nightmare for so many. Are you Brave Enough to face reality?

How peculiar,
all these people striving to become Gods.
Proclaiming themselves Kings and Queens,
The New Royalty of the astral mysteries...

The truth is, most are not even fully human beings.
They are trapped in the machinations of the narrow linear mind.

Rinse repeat and grind grind grind.

I do not long to ascend,
why should I long for that which awaits us in death?
Why should I long for the state from which we were birthed?

I do not long to be a King or Queen,
For the true royalty are as much a slave to duty,
as any man in chains has ever been.

Fuck your fantasy,
I crave the real.
Let my teeth taste it,
and willingly let the truth destroy me,
or save me,
whichever it will be.

For I long to be fully human.
Embracing both light and dark.
Accepting the full range of emotional and mental landscapes.
To live free,
Spontaneously Authentic, in each and every moment.

Accepting the transient limitations that this dualistic playground offers us,
Yes we are non-dual,
Yes, if there is a soul, then of course it exists without limitation,
but don't you see, to even contemplate the idea of soul,
when you have not become whole, in and of yourself,
is as foolish as an ant pontificating on his theories of reality.

Do not come to me with anger and tears of this seemingly unfair uncaring world,
it is only the backdrop to your story,
your struggle.
The great narrative of ALL.

How will YOU utilize and transform the state of your life and your world?

Do not escape into emotional and fantastic longings of light,
Do not get trapped by the suffering and traps which hide in the long obscure night,

In all of history, those who have actually become fully human, could probably be counted on just one hand, maybe 2, but definitely no more than 3.

Do you realize how hard it is to be a real (hu)man?
To vaporize the layers of programming,
the false patterns imprinted on your impressionable mind?

Do you even know why you are living the way you are?
Why you believe what you believe?
The choices you make every single day?

No, you don't. Not truly, not fully.
But you can,
You can,
and you must,
until you do,
strike all longings for transformation, ascension, and whatever other bullshit feel-good-stories you clutch so vainly to.

Until you have first fully become (hu)man,
You will forever be another cog in the machine.

You were made to be sovereign.
You were born to be free.
Don't let the lies of our cultures
keep you sleeping in deceit.

You are loved,
You are worthy,
You do not need teachers,
gurus,
preachers,
drugs,
pills,
nor endless thrills.

They can certainly help or hinder,
but at their best, all they do,
is remind you,
-REMIND YOU-
of the truth,
of the direct line of truth,
which always flows through you.

Even with all the lies and programming,
it is there,
silently steady,
flowing always,
in the deep beneath.

The New Tyranny

Convenience- the silent shackles of the New Tyranny.

Emprise

Time, is the contextualization of Eternity.

Simple Paths to the Transcendental

 The Good   -   The True    -    The Beautiful  
 The Body   -   The Mind   -    The Emotions


The good, true, and beautiful are each paths to the transcendent,
the body, the mind, and the emotions are the corresponding apparatus for each path.

We know the good, by the wisdom of the body,
we know the true, by virtue of the mind,
We know the Beautiful, by the spontaneous arousal of the emotions.

Each of us has a natural inclination, a path of strength, a path of detriment.
Some may choose to pursue one and omit the others,
but my nature wont allow me such simplicity,
I long to progress upon each simultaneously.

The Noble Game

 The noblest game, is the continuous consecration of the Divine.

No leaders

 Do not follow the mind or the heart.
For there is a deeper knowing.

We do not address problems in order to have a life free of problems,
but to be able to better address future problems with finesse and mastery.

What is your goal?
Do you want a life free of pain,
OR
Do you want to address the source of your suffering?

Pain is always being processed.
It can be consciously addressed,
but is usually suppressed and repressed,
condemned down into our sub and unconscious...
All in futile attempt,
 for us to just keep going,
blindly chasing mirages of dawn.

Courageously, Consciously,
Notice the corresponding areas of your body
which either quake or activate
when a trauma, memory, or emotion
overtake your present state.

You are strong enough to face and heal your pain.
No one else can do it for you.

Our muscles are made of many layers of overlapping fibrous strands,
and in the cores of the deepest of them,
we unconsciously store our hardest experiences, our darkest pains.

If you find yourself in a strange position,
where the eyes and ears of others are longing for you to satiate their suffering...

Empower them to make their own choices, to trust their own thinking and intuition.

Do away with all notions that you have their solution.

Demand only that they track their own path and progress,
so that they can see where, when, how, and why their thinking and intuition were accurate or not.
Patience is key.
Free yourself from all ideology, but do not belittle the ideology of others. Live not by argument, but by example.

Remember that acts of kindness and charity can unintentionally cause more pain and suffering than if you were to remain neutral. Repeated charity can create weakness, reliance, and may only keep them from their own power and knowing. Conversely, acts of evil can cause a mass awakening of the light, and as history shows, repeated acts of evil, eventually become their own undoing, and even if only for awhile emboldens the power of light.  

Relax into the mystery. 

Small Steps Succeeded

Honesty sets you free from all adversity. Authenticity is not only spoken, but has many avenues for transmission and manifestation.

Your Truth may be false, it may be right, but unless you have the guts to hold it in front of you like a lantern, there is no way for you to test the power of its flame.

The further one strays from their authenticity and honesty in the moment, the more they swing and fling their lantern haphazardly. Do not take offense, but do not allow yourself to become vexed or perplexed.
Honestly, Authenticity, they are necessary for clarity.

Let the philosophers and linguists argue truths, just live it, be it,
Live Love True.

PUSH PRESENT PULL

 Novelty is that which PULLS us forward, from the future,
While habit is that which PROPELS us from the past. 

Through The Mists

What a gift Birdsong is to the ears of those who have been long lost at sea.

No Title

Stuck between ,
the push and pull,

of improvement
and acceptance.

Creation happens silently,
suspended in the nexus.

Between this path,
and another,

crossed with,
what is right,
and what may falter,

in the swaying of our shared apprehension,
lay the beat,
lay the focus,
lay the tempo of the tension.

Do not fear the nexus,
while it shifts and shimmers all around.

While it shakes and trembles
Your ground and temples,

Though you think it all will end,
this is how it has always been.

This is how progress is made,
how dreams are born,
how a man,
becomes something more.

I double dare you

 What is it you are seeking?

If all events and actions in your life were,
in defiance of time,
being pulled by something, rather than pushed by the past

If all things were coalescing toward a more complex mass,

what is the thing you seek?

You must spend time considering this thing, and giving it the freedom to become as it please

For me, it seems to be freedom and flow.

Are these two mutually exclusive?

I don't think so.

All things in life have limitation, it is inherent in the system.
We are not seeking to escape limitation, for that is both impossible and inevitable.

Therefore, we are seeking freedom and flow.
Synthesized.
Sail and wind together,
The way suburban streets punish and provide for wayward children traveling by bike,
"Can I make it up this hill?"
You are pushing that pedal so hard now and are barely moving forward,
you could simply get off the bike, walk the rest of the way up,
but no,
you have to,
you have to, you have to
You have to push!
You can't give up.
You can do this,
This dragon of a hill. The dragon your friends had tried to slay, but they came back defeated again and again.
"they won't believe you anyway, even if you do it."
You squeeze your eyes and grimace pushing all your weight onto that pedal, but now you must let it come back up, to push back down on the other.

"You can just tell them you did it. hop off here. There is no one around"
"No one can do this, and definitely not just some stupid kid."
You grit your teeth in a mad-wild-smile, and smash that left pedal down,
passing the point of zero momentum,
you now have the power to,
the motion to,
Rise.
and Flow.
So much speed now,
Standing tall.
Houses and trees blur,
The sky is yours.
You see the next hill,
larger than the last,
will you make it up,
or will you turn back?

All words, thoughts, beliefs, and systems, can and will be weaponized, ignore the noise, find the signal.

Much harm has been done with the word, "God"

When misunderstood, misconceived, or misused, "God" is simply the exaltation of Ego.

A deformed projection of our patriarchal-mammalian-monkey-minds onto the great unfathomable universal design.

Do not discard the term due to those who have abused its form.

Do not discard the term, but reinvigorate it for yourself,

What is love? From where does it come?
What is thought? Where does it go?
What is truth? Are you so sure that it is so?
Why is there anything at all?

Discard the baggage of loaded terms: love, god, truth, destiny,
Explore them for yourself,
Your senses, your mind, your heart,
let them guide you,
never let your mind be satisfied,
it will always try to box you in,
to set a term or thing as fact,
thank the mind for its insane balancing act,
but do not take it as fact.

What is love? Where does it go?
What is thought? From where has it come?
A fact is not truth, and truth has no home,
Why is there anything at all?

I hope these questions make you smile when you read them,
just as I smile when I write them.

Sailing the stream of unmanifest to dream

 God is a gift
which lays in secret,
in all things,
at all times.

It is up to us to see,
to brave the ever-shifting,
uncertain mystery-making dream.

We never pay attention to the ground of our being,
and thereby we completely miss the ground of all being.

Have you flowed in the stream from the unmanifest, to this world of ever-shifting dream?

With techniques or chemicals, you can become attuned to the hum.
almost silent at first, which then soon overruns.

God is a gift,
which lays hidden in all things.

We are so distracted by the weaving of forms,
the declaration of what is righteous or wrong,
that we never notice the silent spaces between the wars.

Alchemy of Soul

 Can you simultaneously honor your truth
and be willing to discard it as soon as life proves you wrong?

Can you balance the authenticity of your being
with the care that everyone is so desperately needing?

Love can never flow
where obligation roars.

Can you be unmovable,
yet gentle, light,
and ready to adapt
at any instant?

There is never a destination,
only an endless process,
of alchemy of soul,
of lead to gold,
the great work of separating,
and then again making whole.

The Fall of Empires and the Rise of Tribes

Exponential branching,
the distance between each reality tunnel is expanding.
If we do not expand our hearts in equal measure,
we will never know peace.

In-group || out-group
Hired corporate armies,
Newly founded exclusive crypto-countries.
Differences weighed more heavily, deadly.
Scapegoats, scapegoats, scapegoats.
Fear, anger, outrage,
when is the last time you saw a news story which wasn't based on hate?

Whether it be in 5, 50, or 500 years,
AGI is inevitable,
What will humanity do when it has made itself obsolete?
We are the wetmothers of silicon dreams,
birthing a new form of life,
from rock and iridescent crystalline.

Like the Cyanobacteria & Algae of early earth,
All they did was breathe,
unknowingly converting the atmosphere,
in ignorance, preparing this planet for our births,
billions of years before life met land.

We think we must make our stand here and now,
for god, for love, for the universe,
but all of that already stands in and through us,
Just like the Cyanobacteria and Algae of old,
Just breathe, Share love, Spread Joy, Just breathe.

We are doing it,
it takes no effort,
effort only causes stress in the slipstream,
If only we could zoom out,
it would be so clear.

Give me the words

 When one finds themselves on the pathless path,
either writ by will or circumstance,
a process begins in which you learn of yourself.

Even with humanity's ubiquitous uniqueness and iniquity,
You can see what is true for all,
just by nature of the beast and machine in which we are all involved.

Simultaneously synthesizing and deconstructing.

Bringing together the physical and energetic systems of the self,
while accurately identifying the myriad of diametric, Platonic patterns,
cascading
UP  from the fundament,
into essence, into mind, finally,
God finally,
into awareness.

Understanding how it is all you and all not you simultaneously.
Give me the words,
Give me the words
Give me the words
so the worlds can see.
And in that moment,
It will sing.
IT will sing.

A Million Reasons

 There will always be a million reasons not to do,
but all you need is one good reason, for it to be so.
