the god sutra sonnet

you are the crown of creation; all this so-called evolution has dreamed you up for what?

the body has ten thousand (& that number is used the ancient chinese way) quintessential galaxies within its universe within the parabrahman.

in other words, you ain't the body except the body likes to think it is, because it does, wouldn't you, if you were the body?

seriously. the body-mind tries to usurp (thank you ramesh) the ultimate subjectivity but it always fails, then tries again, and always fails.

and this is why surrender is the ultimate act of any spirituality, beyond any beginner's practice of energy or silence or that in-between.

so holistically it's known there absolutely is no you; so how could you do anything? in fact, anything you do is refutation of that holistic.

this is 'resting in awareness;' it's surrender to what is; don't get caught in all the language; just see the seeing; seeing will see.

here's the religious rub. consciousness is the mirror reflecting an absolute. so one thinks if one polishes the mirror, one will see clearly.

and here's where all the yogas come into play, whether they be dietary or moralistic, attempting to clear that mirror, bless them all.

but here's the ultimate rub. only consciousness clears itself. so drop all yogas; drop body-mind. consciousness will do what it needs to do.

but ultimately, one needs to follow one's bliss, whatever that may be. as Nisargadatta Maharaj was wont to say: earnestness is everything!

to be more precise, one WILL follow one's bliss. for it is the destiny of awareness to be aware. and being aware is, you guessed it, bliss.

it's not as if there's some soul within you; there's just you hidden by the thought there's some soul within you.

please! this is not some atheistic lazy bs. it's not that i don't believe in god; i'm just god who doesn't believe in me.
