DOOR TO UNCONSCIOUS

There is a Door
to Intuitive Wisdom
a specific way of Contemplation

One looks at whatever arises
with continuous attention, without reacting
focused, your attention is unbroken
follow the rising and falling of movement

There is an emergence
into a world of equanimity and freedom
leaving the old state of being and coming into
the New
But suddenly, you drop into the Unknown
your mind drops away
a deep flow of energy rushes toward you
You are in contact with the depths

Both conscious and unconscious contents of mind
are Purified
by Intuitive Wisdom
The Door closes
You must return

CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH

moment to moment
breath to breath
Life arises, then falls
only to rise again
Fresh, Reborn, New
in each Eternal Moment
transcending itself
leaping from one moment
to the Next
dying unto itself
only to rise again
again and again

ESCAPE THE WHEEL OF LIFE

The present moment provides thrust
to escape karma, ideas, concepts
the intersection of conscious and unconscious
is a divine intercession
a one-time opportunity
to free oneself from the wheel of life

THROW YOURSELF AWAY

Throw yourself away
as personality, ego-identity
delve into the Unknown, the Universe

Coming into contact with the Unknown
you feel a flow of tremendous energy
coming toward you
Conscious and Unconscious make contact
at this incredible moment
You are on the edge of something marvelous
You are Returned to your Original
Undefiled Self

The True Self knows what you need
give yourself to it completely
Unconditionally

Stay away from mind games--duality
What you seek
Arises--Just Arises
not out of thinking or striving
It arises out of your true Self Nature
an unthought, non-conceptual experience

Be as you are
You are what you seek, already
Trust

Kenosis ◦ Realize Your True Self

NATURE SPEAKS

Nature speaks
thru a steep, up-hill climb
my leg muscles respond
engorged, blood-rushing, pumping
my lungs inflate, expanding my chest

the crest in view, drawing me on
my pace quickens, the summit
mounts
body and hill are One

another hill in sight
only this time, no struggle, no fight
the hill rolls beneath my feet

Nature without, Nature within
nothing but hills, wind and song
The World is mine

TEPEES ALONG COLORADO RIVER

A morning walk to Mt. Bonnel...
the overlook at the Colorado River
at first glance, the placid, lifeless appearance
of morbid mansions
an empty testimony to wealth and privilege
but a deeper seeing reveals
an Indian Village of tepees strung out
along the Colorado River
smoke arising from cooking fires
tempting aromas fills the air
the chatter of women
going about their morning chores
the laughter of children playing
the barking of dogs...

A Deep Silence penetrates
like a mist
sustaining a vision of the Past
still lingering in the Present Moment

The appearance of wealthy mansions
like a shadow obscures
the Rightful Vision of an Indian Encampment
which accords with Nature
with the Law of Heaven

The Past Moment bursting thru
the Present
Transcending the Edge of Unconscious/Conscious
the vital force of Suchness (tathata) dominates
a moment of timelessness

UNITY OF BEING

Live in the moment of your Awakening
Awaken to every moment
By deep silence within
Love flows out
and draws all into
Oneness

wu-wei...it is finished

NEW CREATIVITY

Amazed am i
at the threshold upon which we stand
any frequency of time/space
at our disposal, recall

Let us give testimony
to Creative wonders!
The Beauty of Nature Undiminished

IN DEEP SPACE

In Deep Space
both Time and Space
 are like channels on a TV set
adjustable to any conceivable frequency

And I tune into the place and time
of our co-existence
Children we were
Innocent, unaware of duality
To that moment
Return
Revel in our Oneness

INNOCENCE

If we could but share
Courtship
revel in the innocence of Youth
the inadvertent touch of hands
a stray meeting of eyes
our lives spread before us
as a summer's picnic

this moment caught in Eternity
never diminishing
if this we could share

you say my impulsiveness is too great
but you too feel the stir of
puppy love
nuzzling together, a flirtation with time
never to advance, not to recede
but remain just as we are
Innocent
