Here Goes

Put yourself in a place where enlightenment
can arise… moon in Leo…upbeat emotional
space… ready to roll… never knew where I
was going, but, now that I’m here,the question
has dissolved… what’s next is only thing left…
port, actually, delicious ruby…let’s see if I can  
raise the beast… complaints about my drinking,
but, it’s the only time anyone listens…it’s the
only time  I have anything to say, like the
town/world crier… luckily, haven’t watched
T.V. for ten years, so, still have my own thoughts.

Put yourself in my place…forty years of meditation

seeing through the traps of confused mind…what 

most people call “normal”…nothing normal
about it… only normal because of status quo,
what Whitehead called “the fallacy of misplaced
concreteness”… yes, mind can create almost
anything,  but, misplaced with- out direction,
without clear seeing, which mind needs to
function according to reality.

Beautiful, senses flowing, fine weather…what
does it mean to be human? Why didn’t you
think to ask your-self that question?  As Neruda
said: “So, I went on in a fog, thinking that nothing
had happened.” I don’t  think you’re really human
if you don’t use your mind for reflection and
inspection. If not, just struggling like

oxen, or waiting like a lion for the next kill.

I write because of joy, that I can’t help myself
in a good way…I write without intent, surprised
at my own words. That shouldn’t surprise you.
Whatever inspiration we might have comes from
nowhere you can pinpoint… it comes because we
are in a place where it can arise, where the
bombardment of thoughts shows respite, when we
don’t think for a moment, when mind has a
chance to breathe.

Stop watching T.V..  Stop allowing yourself to
be in the mold that was made for you. You
think you want freedom, but you’re afraid to be
free. As R.A.W. said: “Nothing scares people
more than the threat of freedom.” Freedom means
uncertainty to begin with…once you’ve sailed
those waters, it’s just like any learned experience,
but, it is an acquired taste.

Don’t let the certainty of death keep you from
the life that you are capable of experiencing.
Security is just another word for something you
will lose. Fear is the direction of your  greatest
treasure….go towards it…. experience it…that
is the alchemical solution…the philosophers’
stone. Bueno suerte!
