Ambiguity~~

 

The 

word "self" 

is ambiguous~

Separate self? 

Character self? 

No self? 

Functioning self? 

Empty self? 

Each provides its own story

of the appearing self

which is the power of 

ambiguity~ 

apparently~~🥸

By-passing~

 

There 

is no by-passing 

in inclusivity

in totality

in appearance~ 

Everything appears

seemingly equal~  

The relative story 

may appear otherwise

with by-passing

an interesting 

possibility~~

Sense of completeness~~

 

The 

appearing "you" 

may or may not

seek a teacher 

or guru to assist 

in gaining a sense 

of completeness

which seems 

missing~~ 

Unknowably appearing~~

 

Reality 

cannot be defined

but seems obvious~

if a thought arises 

reality includes the thought~

Reality is This

is all inclusive and

unknowably appearing~~ 

emojis...

 

Markings 

of fb entries

with emojis' 

separation

comparison

judgement~

these are

other stories

appearing

and casting

new glows 

new shadows

for no one~~

Red Bowl~

 

Red Bowl~

a name 

is limiting in

stories but

not limiting

when a story is

"recognized"

as empty~~ 

Unknowable~

What

is happening 

is unknowable~

which is another

empty story about

knowing~

but with pause 

the words

may seem  

unknowable

exploding 

unconditional

silence~~ 

Full of two~

 

Life 

and death 

are not two~

light and shadow

autumn leaves

ocean waves

wheelbarrows

and chickens~

emptiness

full of two~~

Seems like peace~~

 

Not~

not two

not one 

not separate

not whole

not life

not death

not other

not these words

not appearance~

seems like the peace 

of no understanding~~

Home~~

 

Home

appears~

it is and

is not

Home~~

Enlightenment

a claimed event

in a story of

someone who

wants to 

stick around~~

Cup of coffee~

 

Nothing

is a cup of coffee

as is everything~~

The

fullness of

nothing 

appears in

stories arising

spontaneously~

there may be 

an appearance

of a writer

but that is

another story~~ 

Appearances

abound and

may present as

an oil rig or

a unicorn~~

Yesterday~

 

Yesterday

was not

nor today~

words try

and fail

to explain

what seems

happening~~

Waiting

for yesterday

for what 

never happened

to never happen

once more~~

Grist for the story~

 

Appearances

of nothing

spontaneously

arise

provide new

grist for 

stories~~

A bridge to nowhere~

 

A

bridge to nowhere.. 

nowhere may appear as 

seeker and bridge 

and a path to

improve what's here.. 

crossing the bridge 

never and always

ends nowhere...👀🔥

Tears~~

 

Tears

on the edge

not love not hate

not this not that

not confined not free

no words

no more to say~~

The playground~

 

The 

children

running and shouting

for the joy of

separate things

with the stumbles

and the hurts~

this imprinting of

circumstances

may as the

playground fades

be remembered

softly as 

unconditional

and free~~

A story not written~

 

No separation

is the absence

of all things

including actors

in seeming roles

of love and conflict~

that's a story 

not written~~

Entanglement story~

 

Entanglement~

two are entangled

pointing 

to no separation~

it's all story

the play of two~

yet a resonance

may ring~~

Lost

in the world

hoping for salvation~

lost and hoping

are not separate~

nothing might

appear that way~~

Completion appearing as circumstance~

 

No thing

is simply

This~~

Apparently

only 

This~~

There

seems the 

imprinting of

circumstance

on the individual

hiding completion~

completion appearing

as circumstance~~

Chaos~

 

Chaos

is not knowing

prompting a search

for words to make

known what is unknowable~

the story continues with

chaos along with words

appearing as the fullness

of nothing at all~~

Lifting the veil~

 

The

veil in its

emptiness captures

the drama and

joy and tragedy of

nothing happening~~

Stay with the red wheelbarrow~~

 

An

appearance invites

a narrative 

sometimes claiming

the narrative explains

the appearance~

as the narrative 

appears there may

be a claim that 

another narrative 

explains the original~

seemingly no end

to the attempts to

explain what is 

not explainable~

perhaps it is best

to stay with the

red wheelbarrow~~

Space and Unconditional Love~~

 

Space

a name standing

as unconditional love~

emptiness appearing

as universe or mouse

with and without 

judgement~~

Dark appearing~

 

Dark

appearing light

appearing 

dark~

a tale chasing

a tale

with no tale~~

Unexpected beauty~~

 

Unexpectedly

beauty arrests 

in narratives of

shattered risings

drawing a shade 

revealing an

expression of

nothing~~

Suggestions of unity~

 

Images

and words

by their

curvatures and

pointings may

suggest unity..

logging a resonance

which may say my

search is empty~~

Ends and Beginnings~~

 

The end

is not the end

nor the beginning 

the beginning..'tho

appearances of

these do show

and fill a 

storied span~

and such accounts

may reach into

a realm of 

what seems as

freedom~~

Directness~

 

Directness

avoids the 

pathway's 

meandering

futility..but then

reports the beauty

of the pathway

which is not~~

Already timeless~~

 

What

is happening is

already timeless~

explaining what

is happening is

breaking news

introducing the

clock and hiding

the timeless~

more words of 

explanation~~

 

Perfect set up~~

 

Already

perfect without

explanation~

what appears is

emptiness appearing~

such appearance

may be a set up

of the universe

with parameters

perfectly tuned to

hint of a precision

in a story bringing

gasps of belief and

unbelief~

and no one knows

why or why not~~

Even a microscopic shift in physical laws would have prevented life from ever existing…

Modern cosmology reveals a startling reality: the laws of nature are so precisely calibrated that our existence seems like a statistical miracle.

 If gravity were slightly weaker, galaxies would never have formed; if the strong nuclear force were marginally stronger, stars would fail to ignite. Perhaps most incredible is the expansion rate of the early universe—if it had differed by just one part in 10^60, the entire cosmos would have either collapsed instantly or dispersed too rapidly for stars to ever exist. This 'fine-tuning problem' suggests that the fundamental constants of physics are perfectly dialed in for the emergence of complex life.

To explain this cosmic precision, scientists have proposed several provocative theories ranging from the multiverse—the idea that we occupy one of many universes with varying laws—to cosmological natural selection, where universes 'reproduce' through black holes. Others suggest that the laws of physics are mathematically inevitable or that the anthropic principle dictates that only a life-permitting universe could ever be observed. While these hypotheses remain currently untestable, they represent the cutting edge of our quest to understand whether our hospitable cosmos is a lucky accident, a structural necessity, or the result of a deeper ordering principle.

Things are totally not real~

 

Things

are real and

uncontested

as real~

yet things are

totally

not real~

no real things 

as emptiness has

a say~~

Words with dressings~~

 

Words

standing alone

appear with

memories 

conditioned in

imagined time~

the empty word 

fully clothed

with dressings

of difference~~

 

Focus~

 

Stories

focus on what

seems happening 

with or without

the thought that

nothing is 

happening~

nevertheless

stories express

what cannot

be expressed~~

Artemis~

 

The

moon trip

a story unfolding

in time and space~

quantities and

calculations are

precisely and 

crucially told

as plans for

minimal risk~

a map is drawn

as the unknown

territory looms~~

Poles apart~

 

Poles

apart are

the opposites

all words 

express~

suggesting a

neutrality

as the absence

and substance

of the 

Poles~~

Hesitations~~

 

Hesitations~ 

words

appears to relate 

to separate things 

including a separate "I" 

but is it simply 

Consciousness

Wholeness

God or other

Inadequate Name

appearing as words

inexplicably? 

??

Suddenly~~

Suddenly

there arises

the end of what

never was~

what never was

may seem to have

delayed the end

but what never was

never began~~

Suddenly, quietly, you realize that - from this moment forth - you will no longer walk through this life alone. Like a new sun this awareness arises within you, freeing you from fear, opening your life. It is the beginning of love, and the end of all that came before

~~Robert Frost

It's all a story~~

 

It's

all a story

with no need 

to say more:

complete

inexplicable

words

already...

Any

image seems as

arguing for

what is not~

and it may be

double-jointed.. 

~~ 

Neutrality~~

 

Neutrality

begs the between

but there is no

between-only 

an appearance of

neutrality along with

the other two~~

Immediacy

may seem to

have a quality

of time which

masks its 

timeless intent~~

The eraser~~

 

The

eraser

is a tool

tempting and

threatening in use~

but it may suggest

a removal to

an immediacy 

seeming as

love of 

nothing at all~~

An ice cream cone~~

 

Reality 

in the conventional story 

is the split nature 

of everything~

In the non-dual story 

it is the emptiness of everything~ 

Yet all these words seem to split 

what cannot be split~ 

Maybe reality is an 

ice cream cone~~ 

Inviting dismissal..

 

Noting 

the splits

all around and

longing for mending

what is not split..

nothing appears

as this paradoxical

story inviting

dismissal...

It's all inscrutable~

 

It's

all inscrutable

but that's forgotten

in the wish to

tell a story

shaded in 

sadness and

delight~and to

invite others to

come and see~~

Waiting~

can appear as

an undesirable delay

in reaching a goal~

separation's painful

emptiness awaiting

fulfillment~

Nothing 

is concealed~~

The

high point

gives an impression

a view of vastness

perhaps of hierarchy

maybe seeking's end~

it is the persuasion

rendered by the

appearance of

difference~~

250~~~

 

An

elemental

sense of freedom

may appear

as the belief

in inequality

seems to erode~~

250 

years of

democratic struggle

with many glimpses

of deep-seated equality~

a weighty story

a seeming permanence  

and not blemished

by chaotic and angry

chapters which tell of 

glimpses shining

just as brightly~~

Making a choice..

 

It

is told that

if we make

a choice

the choice has us..

this caution of

separation has

a grasp which

it is found

easy to resist..

easy until we 

appear to be

cluelessly 

choiceless...
