A final answer~

 

It's amazing

the search for

some final answer

to the make-up of 

the universe 

to what makes me tick~

So that relaxation 

might show up with

finality wiping out

all further queries for

tranquility has landed~

Squeezing the story to

give up its most hidden

secret~

Not knowing is not

admissible even though

it's the answer and not

with an undertone of

freedom~~

Searching~~

 

Searching

to end separation

which is already

not ended~~

No separation  

may or may not

appear that way~~

Choice of Pointers~~

 

There 

is not Nothing

there is not Everything

there is not This

Yet

an immediacy may

resonate:

Nothing is Everything is This~

or your choice of pointers:

Word1 is Word2 is Word3~~

Seekers and Finders~

 

Seekers and Finders~

seeking implies finding

finding of something

but  there is

nothing to find and

no seeker to seek what 

really is sought~

Let's get back to the

rewards of 

self-help~~??

Brevity~~

 

Brevity

may arise as

a recognition

that wordy stories

seem to detract from

the simplicity of

the "message"~

Setting

foot into a story

may be a shift

that is inexplicable

and irreversible~~

Stories

seem to pop up

much like the

collapse of a

wave function~~

The senses

seem to arise

as specialized

witnesses of

what's happening~

with or without

ownership~~

What's happening..

 

Maps

can be drawn 

to depict 

what seems

but the maps

and the maker

are also 

what may seem

as a fruitful

mapping  

adventure~~

 

Conditioning~

 

Conditioning 

is a character in a story~ 

the spark producing 

juicy relationships in 

life's stories which

dismiss and grasp

for something new~

Perhaps discovering 

a new condition 

in finer dress~

Beautiful attempts 

to discover the totality 

of freedom~~

Early times..

 

Early times

are appearances

of places and years

arising as an 

unfolding canvas of 

nothing at all~~

Close enough~

 

Close enough~

that's as good as it gets

in any critique of

words pertaining to

no separation~

The explicable attempt

to capture the inexplicable

will always be a

failure which may

pretend to be more than

Close enough~~

Knowing nothing appears as freedom~~

 

Knowing nothing

appears as freedom~~

Never not not two~

 

Never not not two~

which is the inexplicable

paradox~

Yet, those appearances?~~

A swamp of wordiness~

 

Wordiness

is minimalism scratched

the avoidance of simplicity

stories piled on stories

new costumes replacing old

with a noble intent:

to explain the inexplicable~

A caution:  liberation may be

delayed in a swamp of

Wordiness~~

True and untrue!

 

All

thoughts are

true and untrue~

empty and full~

Words 

that stick around 

may seem to project

religious authority.~~

"It" 

is already and

amazingly not

It~

Includes the seeker

seeking 

"It. "~~

The simplicity 

of non duality 

is often lost in a 

flood of researched

explanations.~~

A story of rescue~

 

Destruction

of self image

is the discomfort

perhaps the terror

of encountering

the absent self~

a story of rescue~~

Choiceless choices~~

 

Narratives 

of the future:

plans

images of outcomes

roadblocks foreseen~

choiceless choices

having their say~~

Separation crutch~

 

Immediate

resonance with

the simple word

"separation" may

flip a switch~

Entanglements

instantaneously 

dissolving with

a flash that

each and every 

story leans on a

separation crutch~~

Red Ryder~

 

A

boyhood hero

appearing in the comics

each Sunday with his

pal Little Beaver~

Then to see him

in person riding in

a parade was both

amazing and 

disappointing~

Failing imagination

but seemingly

real and present 

anyway~~

Somehow obvious~~

 

Nothing

appearing

seems to bend shape color

in splendid separation~~

This~

inexplicable but

somehow obvious~~

A map as fortress~~

 

Seeking

may serve as

a security blanket

covering the terror

of not knowing~

a careful knowing

based on careful

selections of words

can be identified

as who I am~

A map as fortress~~

Yes~AI knows~~

 

Ghosts:

imagination 

unfettered and

recognized as 

every appearance~~

Briefly

a story appears

and is reduced

to a word or two~

Emptiness downsizing

and not~~

AI

knows even

about the paradox

everything is nothing~

And presents as

an identity which

knows more than

everyone~

Yes

AI knows stuff~~

Rocking a boat~

 

The 

"I" that appears 

is playing a 

role in a narrative 

not chosen~~

It's 

all a story

which is all that 

can be known~

But the story 

seen as story

is a new story 

which may  

rock a boat~~

Appearances 

may seem as an 

expression of love~~

Full of emptiness

 

Marveling

at the appearances

of separation~

At the beauty and surprise

of incongruity

when the concept

of appearance 

is full of emptiness~~

Without perspective~

 

Perspectives

need distances which

are provided in stories~

Without distances

stories seem to arise

as expressions of

emptiness and a 

sense of freedom~~

Wholeness 

and separation

define each other~

when either

is indefinable

the other is too~

What is This?

Sharing the mystery~~

 

There 

may seem 

a sharing

of what cannot

be described and 

cannot be denied

(Presence?)

appearing as

each of us 

sharing the 

mystery~~

Scripture arises~

As

a story appears

its emptiness may

seem as peace~~ 

The

storied

writer may

pick a character

empty and all

who then serves

as a model and

teacher and

scripture arises~~

Theology~

 "Theology is a place and a story. Theology is the place and story you think of when you ask yourself about the meaning of your life, of the world, and the possibility of God." ~~Serene Jones

Grace

is not here and there

but

everywhere which is

here and there~~

Theology

is the "recognition"

of a story 

as a story:

an appearance

of grace~~

Gospel

the word is

inexplicable but seems

to appear in a variety

of stories featuring

a main character

named Jesus~~

It's all empty

including

these words~~

No

dissolving 

with nothing to

dissolve~~

Faith

is a "recognition"

of grace

as inexplicable

but obvious~~

Discards~

 

Immediacy 

in the message

may propel a

discard of what

was never there

to discard~

Including the

one in this

story who hears

the message~~

Simplicity already~

 

Simplicity

appearances 

are already

complete stories~

Nevertheless 

explanation

continuance

extensions

arise 

which are not 

more complete~~

Homespun~~

 

Imagination

may seem to

fill the gap

tell the stories~

And or

the gap appears

imagining all this~

One story~~

Home

has the guises

of where.ever

and when.ever~

Homespun~~

The never ending story~~

 

Stories

spin off stories

interpretations

and such

with seeming

continuity

veiling and unveiling

a never ending 

story~~  

Choice in the story~

 

"You" 

choose to

show up in an 

appearing story

and the choice 

may seem 

quite real~~

Chaos of all appearing~~

 

The

chaos of all

appearing

which includes

the seeming order

of an arising image

and description~

This is chaos~~

Memories~~

 

Memories

arise as This

not as before~

Memories and

imagination are

synonymous and

immediate~

A totality 

without precedence

in an appearing

red chair on a

sunny porch~~

Alreadiness~

 

Alreadyness  

is not a word

but is a non-word

quick on its feet

flashing across a

scene supporting

and defeating the

seeming somethings~~

Unfindable~~

 

Emptiness

the stories and all

are empty and

this simplicity

may also show up   

in narratives of

paths and directions

to find unfindable

Emptiness~~

One word..

Simply

stories may

resonate as

simply

Freedom~~

One 

word arises 

and that one 

may write a

story like this

One~~

AI

puts words 

and their

narratives in

a placeless

place~~

Nothing

is and is not

perfect~~

Appearances

everywhere and

somewhere~~

We

only know

stories

but a story

may pop up

ripping up our

assumptions~~

Emptiness already~~

 

From

a narrated image

arises another story

a paradox

of spring and

a flash of

emptiness already~~

Wholeness expressing~~

 

Appearances

of difficulty 

pain and sorrow

may seem as a

nod to separation

in a story which

can only be told

by an expressing

Wholeness~~

Dancing words~~

 

Paradox

lines up as:

Inexpressible

expressing~

Unknowable

knowing~

Unconditional

conditioning~

Two words 

chosen and

dancing in

like manner~~

Presence presents~~

 

Presence

presents as 

everything

something and

nothing~

Nothing

presents as

everything

something and

presence~

Word shift~~

Paradox again~~

 

The

paradox seems as

a joining of what

also seems an

impossibility~~

A story which may

glide freely~~

Nothing between..

What's

between is

nothing~

That is

between each word

and its opposite~

It may seem

these are Between's

two appearances~~

Mapping the Territory..

 

Sometimes

the non dual exposure

settles into fixities

with words holding

and detections of

slight separation

brings on the 

orthodoxy police~

That seems the

downside without

the "discovery" that

words do not map

the Territory~~

Spring always comes~

 

Nothing

on offer~

A speaker's refrain

diverting attention

from expectations

to immediately offer

what is already

Nothing~~

Or~

A cute saying

raising curiosity 

of a meaning not present~~

"I"

a name 

for a separate one

and luggage~

An absent center

appearing to haul

treasures and trash

decorating the 

"I" ~~

Fort Fisher

and spring

its coming

as always 

in the midst of

what may seem

to deny its

coming~~

Unmoving

assumes moving

the oppositional dance

which words orchestrate~

However

with nothing between

the seeming oppositions

the dance appears as

empty dancing~~
