nothing / something / AUM
ego prefers not to be called ego.
in truth, there is only one i.
call me cyclops.
enlightenment is not ordinary. order is a function of mind. enlightenment isn't a function of mind. saying so is being cute but not accurate.
and paradoxically, ordinary, as a pointer, just invites confusion.
i spit on the ordinary.
the ordinary is the definition of division, the silly cults of singular opinions, the violence of unmasked ego, theft, rape, war!
the ordinary is just the tip of a blood-drenched iceberg painted in pretty colors of bermuda, crazy festivals, and weekend barbeques.
see the ordinary for what it is.
the ordinary IS the snake.
there's nothing wrong with the snake. love the snake. just don't feed it with your Self.
signed, with love, rope.
it's important to understand that accepting things as they are is not the same as indulging in things as they are.
accepting the snake doesn't mean feeding the snake.
on a personal metaphorical level, someone who is being abused in a relationship must first accept the FACT of abuse, and not call it love.
only when the fact is seen for what it is, will the NATURAL movement of love remove itself from the abuse.
so just call a snake a snake and not a puppy dog.
