The Supernatural Sound of Somethingness

Dedicated to my Soul Mate
The Guide
The Guide is crazy and he leads you on a crazy adventure
But eventually you become a guide yourself
And then the journey is yours to guide others on
And you will know just what to do
Though it’s hard to believe, it’s true
You will flow with you as you
And you will know just what to do
One step at a time you’ll walk through
The gateless gate
Until the world and everything in it is a blue sky
And you’ll forget what it means to die
And you’ll forget how to live, and instead you’ll be alive
Welcome to the Moment
Welcome to the moment
No matter how you got here
You are here to stay
Welcome to the whisper
Nobody needs to know
What you’ll say
Just speak away
But do so quietly
The enemy isn’t far away
People Use People
People use other people
To accomplish certain goals
Now this one, now that one
There is an ongoing debate
You are the one to blame
The “is of the Uh”
Before a thought appears
Your mind clears
Before there is an “I”
Say Hi
Before there is a “the”
There is the “is of the Uh”
All Things
You are witnessing someone
This person is not you
You are the eternal
Including but not limited to
All things
The Dogma
The dogma is to sit still
And tell the truth
Do this one thing
And you will become the master of all things
Programming
Program the subconscious
To do your will
Quiet the conscious
Until it is still
The Frozen Tundra
Upon Waking I was disturbed
Wanting to stay asleep
In turmoil buried
Wanting a way out
The frozen tundra of waking life
Too much for me to bear
The Supernatural Sound of Somethingness
In supernatural hours
A saber rattles
Detailing my demise
And never ends, and never begins
And never ends
The White Page
The White Page opens
And blank
Asking to be filled
Does not wish it was not empty
But instead wishes for more wishes
A Way Opens
After a long trek through nowhere
Being given every kind of threat for non compliance
You may start on your own path
You will fight with all your might
Convinced that your will is better than the will of your master
Until one day you fall down
In agony and exhaustion
Unable to conquer your eternal foe
And then
Suddenly
A Way Opens
Nobody Here Likes You
The tired young creative
Trying so hard to fit in
Is told: “Nobody here likes you”
And feels it must be true
And no evidence exists to contradict the claim
But the creative carries on anyway
Unperturbed
Because
He is better than them
The Reason Why
As far as this road may go
I am yet further and beyond it
I cannot be described with words
Only words can blind it
Go beyond concepts
And meet me in the sky
I can show you how not to die
I am the reason why
The Means to Pretend
A mythic beast
When climbing, climbed too high
Was brought down to earth by the appearance
Of his favorite dream
Steeped in the blood of a good kill
Riding the wind of his wild will
Blessed from the beginning and cursed in the end
Without a friend except the means to pretend
Choking on a piece of Life
While Downloading this Life
You may choke as Nityananda did once
On a potato slice three miles high
If this happens do one thing for me
Retreat into the nearest tree
Find shade and wait for God’s hand
In the form of your most beautiful friend
Who is asking you for something
I want you to meet my student
Who is asking you for something
He will show you the way for now
Since I can’t be there with you anymore
Treat him kindly and he may share with you
His secret
I won’t tell you what it is
Oh, alright fine
Here’s a hint:
It’s jugs and jugs of wine
Showing You to Yourself
I cannot be blamed for what happens automatically
Even beautiful things like art
God acts through me
And I am not the one responsible
But I will say this
God loves to show you himself through me
God loves to allow me to
Show you to yourself
I Am Wishing
I am wishing now for the strength
To give you what you already are
I am hoping that life dissolves a little bit for you
So you can taste it like I do
A sweetness inside bitter coffee
If a Change Drives You
If a change drives you
To try to succeed
By any means follow your heart
Pretending all the while that it was always your plan
From the start
Just for Show
The Ice-warm heat of your makeshift basement
Moved me into the roundabout
Daydream I used to think
It was all just
For show
Without Knowing Why
Words have taken the place of action
This is no good
It can be the opposite
But not this way
When it is this way you know
We all end up jealous and afraid
Without knowing why
Having Fun Together
I may become the very thing you hate
If I do, I am sorry
But there is no way out except facing what you hate
So be my friend and we can
Have fun together
The Beginning of Our Life
I am attached to the sound of your voice
I am in love with your mind
Your heart is my heart
And if you might be inclined
Believe in me and I will do the same to you
And this is how our life can begin
Sattva
I am entirely certain
That being as such
Is not separated from doing
With one caveat
One must be clear
That the doing of something
And the being of something
Coincide accurately in a way that is able to
Make Peace
With and within itself
And finally be done and settled
Making It Right
I am directly being
Breathed into being
By the carcass of a direct witness
To control a narrative
About the unfairness
And duty of unfairness
To be made right
