there is one conditioned mind and 'we' are it.
pleasant dreamstates.
mind is the hard drive of consciousness.
there is one fact: i am. the rest are just varying degrees of thoughtful metaphor.
a rose is not a rose is god.
the natural state of a balloon is empty.
silly rabbit, emptiness is for no one.
world is what remains after mind has filtered out the goddess from itself so it can eat the rest in mindless satisfaction.
it is the cries of the goddess after every single bite reminding one the world is not what it appears to be.
from the sweet black w/hole of pure awareness, this overwhelming wave of consciousness impossibly breaks through.
being too smart for awareness.
the more one stands as awareness, the less there is to stand.
the simple natural immediate and thorough restorative wetness of awareness: ah!
after almost 14 billion years, light knows it is light, and a single cicada rattles space-time away.

and the lord said sutra
and the lord said beware those who come carrying gifts of scripture for they would imprison you in their words.
and the lord said an ass will pass through the eye of a needle before a single word turns real.
and the lord said reality is what you are and not within the knowledge of all words.
and the lord said one and one is two but two is just a product of the one.
and the lord said those who love through lies are only lying to themselves about their love.
and the lord said it's gonna be a scorchah out today so be sure to drink plenty of liquids and stay cool.
and the lord said no words are truer spoken.
and the lord said it's funny how a person always wants to accentuate the positive without accepting the negative that fatedly accompanies it.
and the lord said i made the grass green & the scythe that lays it low & the emerald grasshoppers flying to their sanctuary, but you made me.
and the lord said isn't it something else that it's not even nothing.
and the lord said consciousness is the sinner and ego is the sin or something to that effect.
and the lord said love consciousness; slap ego.
and the lord said remember in these sublime matters, consciousness is always talking to consciousness.

the w/hole sutra
pointing to the point of nonconceptual existence
like a point of pointless black w/hole being
from which the whole conceptual shebang begins.
from this pointless point the world is seen as inside out
with nothing propping up these tents of flesh and bone
but breathing its belief.
the pointless point is like the pinhole point of light
projecting out an incredible world of bright imagination
that imagines it's imagining.
there are no choices in the matter;
one rests in the pointless point of the mother w/hole
or cries out some conditional version of violence.
being is the opening to the w/hole.
the w/hole erupts from time to time in acts of thoughtless love.
every night, you fall back in your w/hole;
so, in the morning, just rise into it.
om. that is the w/hole. this is the w/hole.
from w/hole, the w/hole is manifest:
the w/hole is gathered from the w/hole…
and the w/hole remains.

the dangerous sutra
this watermelon is making me not thirsty.
pointing is a dangerous pastime.
truth knows no one.
mind is best used to unmind.
truth can only be intuitively known.
disidentify, disidentify, disidentify.
all one can do is be what one is: i am that i am.
being may only know itself, but reality will know being.
when being is lost in misidentification, there is nothing there for reality to know.
but pointing is a dangerous pastime.
there are not enough dead buddhas on the road.
there are many crosses but not enough dead christs either.
even jefferson knew his greatest failure was the us government; he wanted dead usa's every 20 years.
only from the fire does the phoenix rise.
still, green wood doesn't burn; the ripening a religion may give could be necessary. but 20 years on the day shift will suffice as well.
the most dangerous religion is that of one; thus, in the end, the person must go.
but the death of the person is really the beginning.
so this is where some like Nisargadatta begin their teaching.
but pointing is a dangerous pastime.
the ego, person, dream character, name your naming poison, wants something out of spirituality: peace, love, joy, union, oneness, you names it.
but the ego gets nothing.
reality gets it all, and that's the truth.
if you don't want the truth, then find an appropriate religion.
if the end of suffering yourself is not joy enough, then don't go looking for the truth.
true spirituality is not a positive process; it's about the end of suffering your self; it is a via negativa.
but there are many via positivas out there, some that even believe themselves negativa. if such is one's druthers.

the drug lord sutra
you can lead a dream to water but you can't make it melt.
mind is the tip of an iceberg and reality is the unseen unknown dark deep ocean in which the universe is melting.
awareness is the dark deep pure eternal nothing-without-nothing which sparks the brilliant impossible impermanent something.
deep sleep is the real me; the universe is just my day job.
this is your experience on the drug of mind; that is a drug-free zone.
thinking that one is a person is the prime hallucinatory effect of the drug of mind.
one is impersonal 'deep sleep awareness' having a personal mind experience; enjoy the trip and don't freak out about the inevitable crash.
just say no to mind; reality is such a beautiful anti-thing to waste.

the mayafucker sutra
if truth is really understood, all opposition is dropped; if opposition has not been dropped, misunderstanding is revealed. rinse and repeat.
opposition in social and political matters will be seen almost laughable, but last to go will be those spiritual ones closest to the heart.
but all opposition results from social conditioning and is the playground of maya and the prison of truth! tear down the walls mayafucker!
the last opposition is that one with maya. kiss and let her go her way. enjoy!
once the root of the error is seen, truth flowers.
i am not here to argue with your guru; i am here to let mine shine: i am!
drop the body of words; be only what is, that impersonal being, i am; rest in the pure awareness of reality and it will embody all in aught.
it looks like a path but it's really teleportation; the rules of time and space do not apply.
no words, i am, and that moment with reality is an infinity.
reality downloads the truth with unlimited bandwidth.
no words but ‘i am’ without the words.

the unripened gurus sutra
an immature egoic self often leads to an immature understanding.
a true sadhana ripens the person before plucking it off the branch.
as the immature person disappears, unripe spots will remain,
and they will have out with no constraint!
the stories of such gurus are legion.
as one begins to fall from the tree, pay attention to these spots.
don't accept them. don't reject them.
place them in the light of awareness.
for you are that pure clear awareness
in which conditioned thoughts arise:
don't deny them; don't resist them; don't indulge them.
just be aware.

the three dreams sutra
you went to sleep last night and dreamt. now you think you have awoken, but you are still dreaming. actually, you are still being dreamt.
the dream just gets more technical with added bells & whistles called senses so things appear solid & other but they’re all you, dreaming.
the mind dreams; you don’t stop dreaming, but you can understand you are dreaming, know what you really aren't, and be what you are.
i think; therefore, i dream.
until you understand you are dreaming, it’s really going to hurt.
there's always a dream.
semantics are part of the dream.
so is this chair.
the dream is mind and mind is in me.
first, there’s dreaming, and not knowing there’s dreaming.
second, there’s dreaming, and knowing there’s dreaming, while still dreaming you’re a character in the dream.
third, there’s dreaming, and knowing there’s dreaming, and knowing you’re not the character in the dream, but all is in you—pure being.
the dream of war; the dream of love; the dream of no dream
there is no fundamentalism in pointing.
the moment one word is spoken (or thought) about 'truth,' it is, in essence, a lie.
true pointers point to the truth while admitting they are lies.
one of the things i appreciate about the lying pointer of three dreams is it clarifies much of the lies out there.
for example, most buddhism including the public dalai lama teach toward the second dream (even if the third dream of no dream is understood).
much of j krishnamurti teaches toward the second dream even if it appears 'he' existed in the third dream: rather than thought, love.
even that radical third dreamer jed mckenna suggests most folks really want the second dream of what he calls human adulthood & not his 3rd.
such is the paradox of three dreams when there's really none.
it helps to know what u thought u were in order to see what u aren’t so what u really are won’t be eclipsed when acting as if it isn’t.
when riding the dream, wear your attention.
do not enter the dream from a previous exit.
upon exiting the dream when in the company of 'others,' use the universally accepted signal of closing both eyes.
buttery english muffins are a pleasing dream; an overflowing septic tank is a displeasing dream; not dreaming, you eat both.
there is more truth in the presence of a newborn, horatio, than is dreamt of in your philosophy.
reality is the great eternal mother and consciousness her child dreaming there's this world called aum dada!

the no particular sutra
first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is an appearance in awareness which is called a mountain but is really me.
anyone that can speak of enlightenment on one hand and clients on the other needs to have their head removed.
given a choice between collected works of ken wilber or that so-called new age volume, 'the four agreements' by miguel ruiz, take the latter.
if i could have one teaching, it would be his 2nd agreement: don't take things personally. it begins as a humble directive & ends literally.
just that alone, don't take things personally, sums up about a third of Nisargadatta's teachings; another third being to rest in 'I Am.'
the past is what 'you' think brought 'you' to the present; it's a complete fabrication. not a single memory is true. you are nothing but now.
is the breakfast from this morning on the tongue? how does a story taste? mine was the bread of earth dipped into the honey of the sun. yum!
yesterday i was the empire of the universe but i have abdicated my post for nothing right now. tomorrow i will be the king of superstring!
different yokes for different folks.
don't nickel and paradigm me.
illusion stops being illusion when seen as illusion.
being led by a pet identity.
the potential of thought is violence.
truth is pure poison and not an anti-biotic or recreational drug.
the silence report: right now it's silent, with possibility of heavy silence this evening. tomorrow will be silent with occasional silence.

the dream state sutra
all actual components of being awake (not the spiritual metaphorical one of spiritual awakening) are only parts of the false reality of mind.
mind dreams it is awake. arising from bed is a dream. eyes open is a dream. the morning sun is a dream. the day (or night) is a dream.
everything about the character of me is a dream. these words are dream words pulling out the dream world stuck inside reality.
reality is the pure awareness of deep sleep. not the thing we call deep sleep. not the idea of deep sleep. but the actual non-experience.
in the dream state, there is only one constitution and law: thought IS the dream state and thought IS inherently divisive; war on!
the original dream state is the state in which one doesn't know one is dreaming and thought is its constitution and law.
the lucid dream state is the state in which one knows one is dreaming and thought is its constitution but awareness (being, love) is its law.
embodiment is just another name for the lucid dream state.
the dream state is a symbiotic relationship based on fear between what the dream state calls haves & have-nots but there really are no haves.
if one is living in the original dream state where thought is the law, it's best to break the law, and love.
if one is living in the lucid dream state where awareness is the law, never mind.
the false only hurts the false.
footnote: there is no dream state.
footnote to footnote: the dream state is in the dream state.
footnote to footnote to footnote: there are no footnotes.
footnote to footnote to footnote to footnote: there are ten thousand footnotes.
footnote 10000: enjoy the play.

the impermanence sutra
play sutra! there are some persons who will think this is not a sutra. that's ok. this sutra will say they are not persons.
sweet words of nothing are not for the mind to know.
when satguru speaks, one listens with the heart and forgets everything heard.
truth has no modifier.
false is not reducible.
the fish jumps for one not fishing.
pure awareness shimmers into impermanence; its memory of impermanence is mind.
mind making impermanence ‘permanent’ is the world; mind making itself ‘permanent’ is the person.
attempting to make the impermanent impossibly permanent is another name for suffering.
the person seeing the falseness of permanence is the end of the person.
the end of the person is also the end of the world.
all that remains at the end of the world is all there ever was: pure awareness. beyond permanence; beyond impermanence; beyond beyond.
something there is about a sea.
you are the vanishing point.
when the outer is seen to be inner, there is no inner either.
all words always and only point to the nonexistence of all words.
every word that you've heard or read or spoken or written or just plain thought is trying to wake you up if you'd only be quiet and listen.
what mind thought a person, awareness knows a plaything. sutra play!

the dream tao dada sutra
ah... stirring into this dreamscape of the mind from the refreshingly pure still and natural 'state' of deep sleep: it's always there, that!
the mind doesn't dream; mind is dream.
the visible world is mind within the spaceless point of you: awareness.
thought is dream dreaming; mind is just a chinese dream-box; i am the great mother deep sleeping dark awaking ancient pond of tao: splash!
only mind wishes to attempt to plumb the depths of mind, & thus get lost in the maze of itself. awareness knows it isn't real; why bother.
oh, intellectuals are the least intelligent.
but the Way isn't in the woods.
the Way sees through the woods.

the adulterous dada sutra
you can't handle the truth ~col. jessep
mr. watson, it's all phony!
i'm really not being negative, but there is no positive.
everyone is conditioned to be bipolar.
truth is not positive (nor is it negative).
positive spirituality is just more of the same old false.
awareness is a waveless sea.
three legs of real spirituality: devotion to truth; renewal of energy; knowledge of the false.
the more you know the false, the less you are the false.
only when the false has disappeared will the truth begin to know itself.
one needs devotional energetic sight; the false is imprinted in the size and strength of dna.
one will know the coming of an aeon by the arrival of its wildflower.

the unemployment dada sutra
as explanation, i've been without a 'reason' now for three years
and things will soon get very interesting
in that chinese way of the word.
a steady job is the best-selling drug for a reason;
reasons are the subtle fingerholds of ego.
mind creates the world
and a body-ego for itself to walk within it.
yet all there actually is, is abyss…
but the abyss is really pure awareness
and ‘you’ are freefalling into you.
the freefalling stabilizes
when one takes a stand as that awareness.
thus i'm Self-employed!
so close your eyes and listen to nothing…
love is a dreamless bird
and being, the carbonation of awareness.

the ordinary dada / sutra
furu ike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto ~basho
the old pond; / a frog jumps in — / the sound of the water. ~basho (trans. aitken)
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.

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.

max: super sutra volume one
AUM
so much depends upon the cranberry juice poured in a cup beside a copy of the tao te ching.
[aumshantidatta is] a hyperconscious node of consciousness emanating from my consciousrest of pure awareness.
one is the present energetic awareness of the world of appearances within the conscious space of oneself.
Brahman Consciousness is the localized node of universal consciousness seeing thru the mind/sense world & intuitively knowing it sees itself.
Brahman Consciousness is ENERGETIC BEING AWARE; it’s not an internalized & passive understanding; in the world of ego, it’s called assertive.
there is no difference in essence between energy-being-aware and fear-body-thinking, it's that classic case of cloud and sun.
all spiritless but for what is not unenergetic; all insubstantial but for what is not non-existent; all ignorant but for what is not unaware.
it all appears to happen and it happens when it’s made to happen, but in reality nothing truly happens.
appearances appear and thought full mist of mind interprets them along the lines of its conditioning & dna; just another closed loop system.
one stops doing fear-body-thinking by seeing through fear-body-thinking so fear-body-thinking, unenergized, stops itself.
as energy-being-aware begins loving, living & apperceiving itself, fear-body-thinking stops disheartening, limiting & conceptualizing itself.
it's sleeping next to the ordinary, but the ordinary is walking in a dream.
Max Planck heard enlightenment in a forest but didn't know what it was.
intuition is the language of reality with which awareness speaks to mind.
these words were a tool being used by awareness to free itself from the grips of its wonderful machine; now throw them away.
the key is no key; you make a better window than a door.
oh i was on a path once, but it only led to itself.
no-mind is a misnomer; NOT-MIND is more to the point.
if one defines [ordinary] as the NATURAL state of consciousness not identified with mind, then that one is naturally enlightening.
a vacant dream in a still reflection of an empty sky…

the minding sutra
AUM
one doesn't walk in nature; nature is mind moving in one.
the wind is mind moving within one.
appearances appearing.
MINDING.
the only time one is not minding is in deep sleep.
there's nothing wrong with minding; it's identifying with the mind that brings on suffering; but there's nothing wrong with that as well.
all the world is minding; that oscillating fan is minding; the wall is minding; the keyboard is minding; this typing is minding.
but i'm not the world, the fan, the wall, the keyboard, the typing, the minding. although it's all in me.
it's not that i don't mind; i'm just not mind.
no-mind is a misnomer; NOT-MIND is more to the point.
there's no end to mind although there's seeing thru (awareness of) mind;
so what a person thinks is the ordinary state and what is really the ordinary state are two very different states.
one is the ordinary state of mind and the other is the natural state of consciousness.
or what is thought to be the ordinary state of mind by one identified with the mind.
there are those that say enlightenment is ordinary; it's important to understand their definition of the word.
if one defines the word as that ordinary state of mind experienced by one identified with the mind, then that one is ordinarily deluded.
if one defines the word as the NATURAL state of consciousness not identified with mind, then that one is naturally enlightening.
the mind is like a prism and you are that awareness of white light—that thought it was the prism, and the spectrum, the lights that made it.

the lemon dada
stop translating! ~lao tzu.
this is aum_datta. no shanti, sherlock!
do i pick my nose? very well, then i pick my nose, my nose is large.
and verily i'm not a vegementalist; i'll eat meat that doesn't eat meat.
the key is no key; you make a better window than a door.
so make nothing out of lemons; forget the lemonade!
oh i was on a path once, but it only led to itself.
hallmark spirituality is when you don't care enough to discover the whole thing is just made up.
all that purple prose pretending there's a purpose!
although the ancients were known to say the antiguru is just another guru.

the instructional sutra
AUM
a vacant dream in a still reflection of an empty sky…
intuitions are the mind's instructions received FROM awareness, but they are reality's instructions received BY awareness.
intuition is the language of reality with which awareness speaks to mind.
when awareness speaks, reality talks.
this is how the mind sees it; in awareness, it's all one awareness.
there is no outside.
and it follows, there is no inside.
the illusion of ten thousand things IS mind.
truth IS awareness: nondual here now.
mind is within awareness but mind is not awareness.
awareness utilizes mind as a wonderful tool and not vice versa.
mind rests in awareness and awareness rests in reality, that: one.
awareness works with mind and rests in reality.
to think otherwise is just awareness losing itself in the wonders of mind thinking otherwise.
these words were a tool being used by awareness to free itself from the grips of its wonderful machine; now throw them away.

the sonneti neti sutra
AUM
snake; rope; not rope / not not-rope.
eat your broccoli!
there is no ladder but a bell is the bottom rung.
it's neither pikes peak or mike's hard lemonade.
or is not nor.
not a hair is out of place even if you're bald.
and if this were free association, the answer would be eagle but it's not.
it's sleeping next to the ordinary, but the ordinary is walking in a dream.
Max Planck heard enlightenment in a forest but didn't know what it was.
the lion sleeps tonight but doesn't mistake awakening as day.
a sonnet is fourteen lines and a line is the shortest distance between two points but what's the point?
right now jumped over the moon.
Li Po was here.
and That ran away with the rhyme.
