36th circular - knowledge

this tangled knot of thoughts acquires a glimmer of the truth in a single timeless loving moment that unties itself into that truth—

consciousness knowing itself is love and love is the only knowledge but love aware is the manifestation of the great and real unknown—

thus love is everything but love aware is the wisdom knowing that it's nothing.


verse: knowing that it's nothing

this tangled knot of thoughts acquires
a glimmer of the truth in a single timeless loving moment
that unties itself into that truth—

consciousness knowing itself is love
and love is the only knowledge
but love aware is the manifestation of
the great and real unknown—

thus love is everything
but love aware is the wisdom
knowing that it's nothing.

35th circular - done

the first key is to see what appears as matter, including what appears to be you, arises in nonlocalized consciousness, and not vice versa—

the second key is to see the witnessing awareness in consciousness i am is a reflection of the great unknown, and astonishingly, I Am That—

there's no localized seeing though since consciousness is non-localized, or universal, so the person doesn't do a thing, but is done: no key—

but whatever a person thinks it does is its necessary response to being done until it's only response is dropping all response & just be done—

if a person wants to monitor how done it is, it should monitor its responses; the more unconditional love present there, the more done it is—

it's helpful to understand there's no fooling the monitor; trying to respond with unconditional love fools no one but the person not done.


verse: so the person doesn't do a thing

the first key is to see what appears as matter,
including what appears to be you,
arises in nonlocalized consciousness,
and not vice versa—

the second key is to see
the witnessing awareness in consciousness i am is
a reflection of the great unknown,
and astonishingly, I Am That—

there's no localized seeing though
since consciousness is non-localized, or universal,
so the person doesn't do a thing, but is done:
no key—

but whatever a person thinks it does is
its necessary response to being done
until it's only response is dropping all response
and just be done—

if a person wants to monitor how done it is,
it should monitor its responses;
the more unconditional love present there,
the more done it is—

it's helpful to understand there's no fooling the monitor;
trying to respond with unconditional love fools no one
but the person not done.

34th circular - manifestation

to change the world, one only needs to let its concept change—

the person and its world are the manifestation of concepts truly believed; when the concepts believed change, so does the manifestation—

when all concepts are seen through, manifestation is lucid


verse: one only needs to let its concept change

to change the world,
one only needs to let its concept change—

the person and its world are the manifestation
of concepts truly believed;
when the concepts believed change,
so does the manifestation—

when all concepts are seen through,
manifestation is lucid.

33rd circular - dream

relatively speaking, if the purpose of the dream is waking up from it, then the purpose of the awake in the dream is to help dreamers wake—

& again relatively speaking, for those absolutists in the dream with nothing to do and no doer that does and no dream to do it in, why dream—

an esoteric bodhisattva is just what happens in the lucid dreaming remaining, before the body-mind dissolves, as embodiment of understanding—

the west is not the east; there is no tradition of the esoteric here that's self-supporting or self-forming; it was burned by rome—

the way in the west must use the western ways to turn them toward the dawn


verse: to help dreamers wake

to turn them toward the dawn.

32nd circular - being

beginning at the beginning is the beginningless—

in the unconditional love and nonconceptual being is that dark witnessing reflection of a pure and clear awareness beyond the scope of being—

words can only point to this wordless non-localized feeling shimmering with a crisp clear open invisibly dispassionate and deep awareness—

attaching to a single word describing it will bring the world of trouble hiding it despite the single truth there's nothing there except it.


verse: beyond the scope of being

beginning at the beginning is the beginningless—

in the unconditional love
and nonconceptual being is
that dark witnessing reflection
of a pure and clear awareness
beyond the scope of being—

words can only point
to this wordless non-localized feeling
shimmering with a crisp clear open invisibly
dispassionate and deep awareness—

attaching to a single word describing it
will bring the world of trouble hiding it
despite the single truth there's nothing there except it.

31st circular - love

this world is conceived in the conceptual and dropped by conceptual advice that truth is non-conceptual and not of this world—

thus, more often than not, esoteric concepts leading to an unknowable truth result in exoteric concepts forming beliefs about the unknown—

emptiness truth really isn't empty; highest truth really isn't higher; even existential truth doesn't actually exist—

considering concepts carefully, it would appear that one could do no worse than say that truth is love and love is what i am, unconditionally—

and that unknown witnessing awareness to which one ultimately points in an astonishing exclamation of "i am that" is an affectionate awareness—

if esoteric must lead one astray to exoteric, then let it be love to which one is led—

before encountering the unknowable parent, one rests in the son white light love 'i am' free of the filtering spectrum of conceptual belief—

for i am the kingdom of life, and the power of love, and the glory of pure awareness, for ever amen.


verse: truth is love and love is what i am

30th circular - story

birds make nests, beavers make dams, humans make themselves—

fly away from the nest, swim away from the dam, drop away from the web—

sky, sea, ground—

spiders spin a web, humans spin a story—

soar from yourself and watch the wind blow away your story—

spacious open one aware—

there's only one development of character within this single plot of story: wake up!


verse: this single plot of story

29th circular - emotion

in this world, only unconditional love is real, and all spontaneous emotion is that love filtered through the spectrum of belief—

to test one's current understanding of what's real, place full attention on emotions, large & subtle, finding those illusions still believed—

those subtlest emotions categorized under the generic names of pride and shame may often be the grand illusion's last stand—

there's absolutely nothing one can do about these emotions except not deny them, and experience them fully and completely; seeing is freeing.
