Untitled Thoughts #5

Nothing exists in isolation So many conditions that we take for granted

For any single thing to occur The existence of a universe is required And everything that ever was

Funny that

So stay out of it You’re doing less than you imagine Nothing at all in fact

What a beautiful day

Of course the universe doesn't exist That's a massive illusion It's like every time you go to look for something Then you find it But Reality is laying down the tracks as you go

Everywhere you turn The universe is being created as you look And destroyed the moment you turn away

If an atom bomb goes off in a dream And all the flesh from all the bones Is burned away And turned to dust Is that a real explosion? Or just the dream of destruction?

And are you - The dreamer - Scorched by the heat? Killed by the bomb?

Is this world A real world? Or the illusion Of a world?

Where is it? Except in your mind

Oh of course You believe your mind Is in your body Which in turn Is in the world

But is that true? Is that how it is? In your experience?

Have you checked? Have you looked really, really closely?

Is your mind in your body? Or is your body in your mind?

Advaita says ‘Awareness’ Zen says ‘Big Mind’ Dzogchen says ‘Rigpa’ Taoism says ‘The Nameless’

I say This, Now, Here, I.

Wake up! You are awake!
