Says a friend's email..
Best and worst of times
Begins a story of note..
Judgements of time
Of time's stories
Persisting as real
Time's able disguises...
Something
Fundamental is
Posed as a
Goal of the

The word
"Fundamental"
May seem as
A word before
All words
An arrival
At origin..
But..separation
Lives as a
Thread in all
Word stitchings...
Bewildering
Is the experience
Of many seekers of
Nothing..
Complexities and
Assumed
Foreknowledge
Thread through
The teachings ..
Feeding the
Narrations of
Bewildered
Searching...
Simultaneity..
A story of a
Paradox of
Unlikeliness..
Of mutual
Elimination..
Rejected by
The logical
Seeker..
Sends reeling
A few on the
Cusp of nothing...
There are

Light that is
Available with
A shift in
Perspective..
Turning to the
Light..
Finding our
True self..
These are
Pathways
Mapped by
Beguiling words...
Life
Is pointless..
A point would
Stake out a
World of separation..
Which would
Display the drama
Appearing in
The life
As is known..
Which is
Beautifully
Frighteningly
Wow..!!
Sin

Missing marks
Misbehavior
Lawbreaking
Malfeasance..

And from
Another story's

The scary:
Original sin..
All stories
Seeming to
Miss the mark
Of simply
Separation's
Persistence...
A single word
That's all..
Questions arise

All other words

An angle of

Extraordinary..!
However
What is ordinary is
Simply a story of
This as this
Including the
Trick...
Separation
Duality
This and that..
These are
Appearances
Empty and full..
Not explainable
Spontaneous
Without connections
Just This..
The futile quest is
Is to find an
Explanation to
End the need
For explanation
Of appearances..
Lo the futility...
Laughter
Seems to
Challenge the
Unquestioned
Clutch of
Separation..
Spontaneity
Defeating the
Desperate grasp
Of time..
It's comic and
Cosmic...😂😜
Experience
Tells a personal

The outflow of

Words
Seem to point
To an underlying

Which implies
Separation
Re the proverbial
Map and territory..
It's two
Not not-two..
That's the rub
Seemingly
With words...
Words
Are also This..
But words
May be tricky
Seeming to separate
To construct and

But still This..

Separation's

Daily survival..
Or more settled
Words of science
Religion or
Contemplation..
Searching for
The better word..
All are stories
Maps of separation
Things of beauty
And of horror..
May we speak of
Escape..??
It's
All about the
Self..and
There isn't one..
This is the
Tripwire which
It is said
Religious and
Spiritual
Practitioners try
Not to trip...
The All in All
Is nothing at all..
A story of
Separation:
Something in
Something..as
The mind hides
Nothing with
Beautiful
Convincing
Resonating
Descriptions...
FDA Rules
Soy and Nut Milks
Can Still Be Called 'Milk'..
Another milk story
Pouring from
The original
Milk word..
No ending to stories
Spun from each
And every Word
Apparently
Unending emptiness...
Doing nothing
May seem a myth..
A myth which
Assumes a split
In these two words..
However
When paradox
Reveals
Nothing is doing
Wholeness may be
Revealed and
The myth..not
To be found...
Non-dual Conversations
Peter Baker · ·
The illusion of there being an external world arises because we seem to be able to control our own actions whilst not being able to control the ‘hard reality’ out there. We have only partial control. Most people fall for this one. It has even been called the ‘original fall’ - the fall into separation.
New age, ‘law of attraction’ type teachings say that the distinction between self and other is false and that we can learn to bend the universe so that it aligns with our desires. We can control it all. King Midas fell for this one – then wished he hadn’t.
Non-duality teachings also say that the distinction between the inner and outer worlds is illusory but that there is no self in control of any of it. Yet nothing is ever out of place. No one falls for this one because there is no one left to fall. But fall it does – and what a sweet fall it is - a falling in love!

Algorithms untiring
Reaching into their
Immense conditioning
To concoct what

Hmmmm..
Sounds familiar...
"The shift"
Is sometimes
Told as an
Explosive epiphany..
A paradoxical
Implosion..an
Apocalyptic bomb..
Yet the epiphany
Has also been told
In simpler words..
Perhaps occurring
Paradoxically and
Commonly as
Just This...
A few words on "the Shift" from Jed McKenna:
'After the blast, I found myself stumbling dazed and shell-shocked though a post-apocalyptic landscape undreamed of by science fiction writers. Civilizations were reduced to windless deserts. Cities I now saw as blackened craters and people as shadows of smoke. What had been Earth, Home, Humanity, Family, Life, could now be most aptly called Nothing Forever.
That primary epiphany detonated in my mind like a smart bomb and left me all alone on a desert planet that had only that morning been teeming with people and problems and emotions and history and drama and a million other things that were instantly reduced to fine ash by the spiritual apocalypse that incinerated my world in a brilliant flash of light."
Jed McKenna, from Spiritual Warfare. (via Miranda Warren)

Did you Know?
“Antinomy” is a word for logical paradox or inconsistency closely associated with 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant. In his book “Critique of Pure Reason,” Kant introduced a number of logical paradoxes now known as “Kant’s antinomies” to show how two equally reasonable ideas could ultimately contradict one another. For example, Kant made a carefully reasoned argument that the universe and time had a beginning and strict borders, and then made an equally logical argument concluding the universe and time were both without beginning or end. The goal of Kant’s antinomies was to show how reason alone was not enough to resolve metaphysical problems, because even the best-reasoned arguments could ultimately arrive at opposite conclusions.
