AI Rights...






 AI Rights...

Artificial intelligence rights
That is..
Complications arise when
This question is addressed from
The viewpoint of the AI..
Complications come from the
Seeming birth of a sensing and
Feeling and thinking being..
However..
Use of the new Paradigm
Consciousness-Only
We find that all of the complications
Are simply the meandering of
Thoughts and perceptions
Within and made of
This Whole...!

Presence Only





















Presence Only

This is the 
Starting point for all
Healthful considering..
This Oneness assumed
Will find clarity
In all following thoughts
And perceptions..
Of course~~
This reverses 
What we call our normal
Way of rising and going..
But the Freedom it brings
Gifts a silent rest
In Gratitude...

Happy Thanksgiving...!

Mind's Difficulties




Mind's Difficulties

Everything is holy..
Everything..we ask..?
And the ego asserts
With memories of horror
Tales of fear and
Foreboding..
And we hesitate and
Embolden exceptions
Seeming to deny that
Everything is..

Awaiting Recognition
Of Grace...





"Everything is holy. Everything is sacred. Do not believe that some things are sacred and some things are not. Everything is sacred, even man's inhumanity to man, the dastardly situations that appear in the world. It is hard for the human mind to understand these things, but everything is very sacred, everything is God. 
God is all there is, there's nothing else. So how can there be an evil situation someplace and also be God. This is duality, and we know and understand that duality does not exist. There is only the one, and the one is everything that exists. You consequently have to start feeling this in your heart, that your heart center is omnipresence, all-pervading, it includes the whole universe."
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Purpose












Purpose

If we examine now
What we are doing
And find we are not free..
We must then 
Put the doing aside
Perhaps only briefly
And be the observer
Of the doing..
Then the observer
Absorbs the doing..
No observer..No doing
Just what is happening.. 
And we notice freedom
Making reentry...



"This is the main purpose for human existence. Your existence as a human being, so-to-speak, is to discover your real nature. You are not in this world to do the things that most of you are doing. The world deludes you. It makes you believe all kinds of things. You [are] here for one purpose only, and this is to discover your real nature, who you really are, to make you free and happy....

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Believing the Mirror





















Believing the Mirror

It is startling news
That we deceive ourselves
In what we know
And have known
About who we really are..
Many eyes roll in the
Hearing of this news..
How could it be..?
That the person we see
In our bathroom mirror
Is an illusion that we
Have believed so long..
And most walk away
Staying with the message
Of the mirror..
Until..in each our own way
Trip over the ancient deception
Denying our Freedom...






"You have to begin to identify with the real Self. You have to begin to let go of all the false beliefs, conceptions, dogmas, and be yourself. Be the Self you've always been. Be the Buddha. Be Krishna. You have that quality deep within you. Wake up. Do not let calamity rule you any longer. Know your Self. Do not use the mind to react to conditions. Learn to be the observer."
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

Perennial Faith...













Religion is merely a set of symbols and
metaphors that provides a language
for what is inexpressible,
and that is faith.
For me, the language you choose
Is not that important.
It's what you are expressing
that actually matters.
(Page 23)
