Can there exist a Nihilist,
believing in nothing?
Is it possible to be an individual,
Capable of believing anything?
Does a being manifest
To believe in nothing?
Perhaps one has never existed
To be capable of belief!
Blobs of neurons fire in a sea.
Briefly, a Nihilist arises.
Washing of Labels (Poem)
I pinned a category on myself.
I must fully be that.
I declare,
“Look how much I am that!”
Soon, I am something else,
Along a new trajectory.
Bathing in murkiness,
without definition,
I swim in a present.
Unreal Babble (Poem)
Nature wears no words.
They are unique to humanmind.
Ecosystems are not sentences.
Brains and mouths make them.
Paragraphs, unique to homo Sapiens
Our noise-scribbles are unreality.
Applying word laws,
We inhabit fake prisons.
Scribbled Cages (Poem)
Words are dots, lines, and curves,
Meanings from shapes.
Noises emanate from our squiggles.
We hurl them back and forth.
Along pretend connections,
They merge and morph.
You affix your own labels
Then suffer from them!
Can you perceive your word prison
And unshackle your definitions?
Easy Observation after Spiritual Awakening
After awakening, there is gentle observation of the unfolding reality experience. It’s a state where the harshness of judgement, worry, and indignation (among other negativity) has simply faded away.
It is effortless now, though it may have taken many years, tons of practice, and devotion. But, now “letting go” is the daily way of being. The individual is released, though interacting with the day still occurs.
In this new way of unfolding, people, places, and events pass by, but they are easy and seen as fleeting.
There is a newfound lightness. That’s why enlightenment can be seen as the opposite of heaviness.
Crumbling Stone Layers (Poem)
A concrete shell
We imagine our stone selves.
Hostile environ,
My impenetrable fortress
Unyielding self declares:
“I am mighty! I am correct!”
“I demand! I fight!”
“I judge! I accept nothing!”
“I” am miserable, yet…
Peace when rocky skin sheds.
Disintegrating into ecosystem,
We attain sediment.
