consciousness unperceiving is the dreaming.
consciousnest is the new consciousness at rest, awareness, absolute.
conscioushood is the localized consciousness, burning from the body: the hood.
consciousness dreams but consciousness is not a dream.
consciousness at rest is not not consciousness.
duality appears in consciousness; consciousness is not duality.
consciousness is the rope. don't hang yourself with it; just see it's not a snake. that alone will (un)do.
stories like stories.
thoughts suck and words blow.
a bodhisattva knows there is no story but reads it anyways.
there are no accidents, just an unrevealed pattern. and i thank each and every one of them for helping to clarify it.
being is the beginning of nothing.
science says the world isn't really matter; truth knows the world really doesn't matter.
pay no attention to the what outside the curtain.
words: there are none; yet here, there are nine.
what does sanity look like to one insane?
human beings are hard-wired for illusion and thus insanity. but thank god for the loose wires.
resting in the counsciousnest of unthinkably unclouded unalloyed awareness.
practice is merely a reset button.
it's all one fantastical being emanating from the consciousnest.
being is my factory and breath is my boss.
in awareness nation.
it feels real but it's really not.
the ultimate practice: resting in the consciousnesting. voila! reset. i am that. dream on.
to awaken really is to rest.
spiritual indigestion often sends the seeker back to find an antacid in the affairs of the world, but it's really like taking drano to cure.
the world is a mad swirl of everything trying to be something in attempt to avoid nothing.
the only emperor is the emperor of ice cream and the only god is the god of melting.
in a nutshell, it's one tripartate: unmanifest, manifest, illusion.
deconstruct the illusion, be the manifest, and rest in the unmanifest which does all the rest.
unmanifest/manifest can be pointed to as awareness/consciousness or consciousnest/consciousness or that/this but it's two sides of one coin.
that/this and the mist of i-me-mine.
i am that/this.
if you meet the twitter-stream on the road, kill it.

the endless sutra
you are not reading this.
it makes more 'sense' to identify with what you are during deep sleep and see the waking process as a dream event 'solidifying' on yourself.
there is nobody but you, and you are nobody too.
"science" never ultimately knows; at best, it theorizes. and theory is just another name for pretending to know the unknown: just dreaming.
names really get in the way; what is your experience!
so the spiritual event known as 'awakening' is like returning and resting in the deep sleep (aka pure awareness) one really is.
another day being paradise within the fallen illusion of hell.
to be aware of being is bliss, and that is all. the rest is just something to do until one is aware there's nothing to do but be aware.
an actor attends acting school because he knows he is an actor; religions take note.
evolution appears to be that timeline from the big bang to self-realization but it is really now.
compassion is spoken before the person so it’s there after the person.
when one abides in consciousness, there are no institutions or personalities to rail against or oppose.
would it have made any difference if it had been a sermon in the hands of a happy god?
opposition IS maya.
the revelation that something is really nothing appears to the mind as evolution or design but that's just the mind's concept of nothing.
the person disappears as awareness of being in breath, the bermuda triangle of meditation.
mind unwittingly creates something out of nothing, and either calls the act, evolution, or the unwitting, god. but it's all an appearance.
there is no perspective.
when a desire is fulfilled, there is a temporary gap in the timeline of suffering: ride that tantric line to awareness; or wait for that next desire.
it appears fantastic but who would know.
emotion is consciousness/being/love filtered thru thought; when thought is clearly seen thru, what remains is awareness of satcitananda: a way.
who's not in a name.
absolutely nothing is—consciousness happens—the mind remembers to dream; consciousness makes the dream appear real but absolutely nothing is.
higher consciousness is just consciousness letting go the mind.
until it’s realized that all knowledge is meaningless, all practice is impractical, & all effort is ineffectual, the endless loop is endless.
feel your force; know your n/one; breathe your bliss. rinse and repeat.
you were told you're a person & have spent these many so-called years fleshing out that original concept. now find out what you really are.
one is the holy trinity: consciousness, not thought; being, not body, bliss, not emotion.
you remove the thorn with another thorn and then throw both thorns away; you do not worship the second thorn or continue to practice with it.

the roadrunner sutra
look! coyote artistry of the satguru.
when you know you don't know, you know all you can know.
everything happens in the blink of an eye.
practice is never perfect.
being is not a local phenomenon.
living is unthinkable!
love doesn't hurt, but it sure does feel the pain.
happily the happening happens to happen.
emotion equals thought times consciousness squared.
let it happen.
all answers are questionable, but no question is answerable.
can an alter ego be egoless?
names can never name the nameless.
people are so anthropomorphic.
still formless after all these years.
when i am eye, the world is something else.
render unto maya what is maya's.
the answer to all spiritual matters: cut taxes on the wealthy.
but sanity is spelled s-a-t-g-u-r-u.

the psycho killer sutra
a piece of driftwood pointing at the moon.
solve for who.
a little seed of consciousness makes the whole wide world go down.
light is always pulling itself back together.
the world will break your fucking heart if you only meet it halfway.
an emotion is the spasm of being caught on the hook of thought.
it's inevitable that a person takes things personally.
monkey mind monkey do.
personality IS disorder.
current events is just a euphemism for the latest insanity.
tradition is only as good as what it 'does' now.
all sutras are translations from the original silence.
all questions are ultimately naughty.
there is no argument at all.
everything melts on contact.
nothing happened and i'm psyched it did.

the quantum john l. dobson sutra
"The whole universe is not big enough for even one particle." ~Vivekananda
“Out of those things our bodies are made, and all of those things were made out of hydrogen by what we call transformational causation.”
“But the hydrogen does not arise by transformational causation. It cannot arise by transformational causation.”
“Hydrogen is made of energy, and energy cannot arise by the transformation of energy.”
“The kind of causation by which we see this thing is a causation by mistake…the kind of thing that you do when you mistake a rope for a snake.”
“Nothing happens to the rope.”
“The Gunas are about some entirely different kind of causation.”
the veiling power of tamas; the projecting power of rajas; the revealing power of sattva.
tamas: you fail to see the rope rightly.
rajas: you see the rope as something else.
sattva: you still saw the rope in the first place, but only have mistaken it for a snake.
“The first cause is apparitional. Nothing has happened. Nothing whatsoever.”
the five elements are actually five energies and are perceived through the five senses.
all five elements are the transformational causations arising from the primal apparitional causation: from brahman arises akasha.
the first element is akasha, sometimes translated as ether, is the gravitational energy of matter dispersed in space, perceived thru the ear.
the 2nd, vayu, usually trans. as air, is kinetic energy, as matter in space falls together by gravitation. perceived as temp thru skin.
3rd is tejas, trans. as fire, is radiation, as excess kinetic is lost to surrounding space. perceived thru the eye.
4th/5th, ap/prithivi, trans. as water/earth, are electricity and magnetism, twins, perceived thru tongue and nose.
“Gravity is the undividedness seen in the divided.”
“Inertia is the changelessness seen in the changing.”
“Electricity is the infinitude seen in the finite.”
“Everything in the universe runs toward the changeless, toward the infinite, toward the undivided. There are no other goals.”
“All actions are transformational in nature and they arise only within the domain of the apparition.”
“Through space and time it is not possible, by transformational causation, to reach that which is beyond space and time.”
“We got in by apparition, we’ll get out by undoing the apparition.”
“First is to discriminate between the rope and the snake. Second is to cease being snake fanciers.”

the playful sutra
the first haiku written on the moon pointed to you on the earth.
you are only part of the picture but the picture is wholly you.
oh bliss! consciousness is playing with itself.
every activity in this world is just a pastime.
it's as if a single play was taken hostage by each word and so became six billion separate works.
like a landlubber crying land ho!
evolution is just consciousness making it up as it goes.
when you play this sutra backwards, it says 'you are unborn.'

the happening sutra
welcome to the happening; sit back and enjoy; you never know.
there is no quiet mode.
the tremendous effort of no effort.
to the mind it appears to be a complete and paradoxical paradigm shift, but in truth it's as natural as a baby's deep sleep.
it took 14 billion years for the universe to know it took no time at all.
the mind wants to know but reality only loves.
'ordinary' is the latest extraordinary concept!
love makes the happening go fractal.
the known can only know the known, and not anything is truly ever known. but love is truly the unknown unknowing. unknow yourself today!
take your stand in happening: happenstance!

the swell sutra
the white noise of breakers emerging from the silver silent fog.
but there is never an end for there is ever no beginning.
so waves keep rolling in yet there never is a wave.
ah, never trust appearances.
the crashing surf and rockbound shore are variations on the fantasy of time.
we are always traveling at 700 million miles per hour!
(beyond the basho / silver light expectorates / the syllables of)
mind can only mind that which is the mind.
sometimes you eat the bear. sometimes the bear eats you. sometimes you understand you've always been the bear.
you're so vain, you probably think you're you.
i think not; i am all.

the impersonal sutra
one suffers as a person only because one thinks one is a person.
and all this spiritual personalization!
disidentify disidentify disidentify: the three real laws of real estate.
the first step is to decondition oneself; in other words, deconstruct the person one's been taught one is; & don't underestimate this step!
don't be afraid or guilt-ridden to be impersonal; this is one's greatest obstacle: so remember physician heal thyself.
don't delay & leave it to an unforeseen account of merit; that's what the big bank of priests wants 'you' to do; w/o 'you', they got nothing.
this is the only revolution: overthrow yourself.
everything you think you know is false and that is just the beginning!
and an atheist is a person who has done the math backwards.
ever since i became god, i've been an apersonist.
thus it's really not difficult being god: i don't know anything and i don't do anything. i just happen!
man! i love it when i happen!
my love of happening may be called intelligence, but really, it's nothing.
this happening, love, & intelligence is sometimes referred to as being, bliss, & consciousness, but in a different order. i'm ok with that.
and god said look at myself and then there was mind.
i love mind; it's so cute when it thinks it's intelligent.

the consciousness sutra
the picture window is now filled with green. i must admit the eyes enjoy that color. no wonder they created it!
a rose-breasted grosbeak at the birdfeeder. a patch of red in a field of white and black. stunning spring visitor.
a blue coyote howls above the head of red ganesh; buddha sits within a hollow in a spire of driftwood; shiva dances on a golden puzzle box.
out of the black hole of deep sleep awakes ten thousand multi-colored stars of beautiful illusion burning so piercingly as if they're quite real.
green consciousness on brown consciousness in blue consciousness through clear consciousness for gray consciousness.
consciousness describes but cannot be described.
yes, we all live in a consciousness submarine.
to see it is to feel it; to feel it is to be it.
in the sea of samadhi!

the 'sunflower sutra' sutra
you weren't here. now you're here. then you aren't here. but you're always there.
words get in the Way.
you think you’re a thought which you call you, but in reality you’re not.
words are necessary evils without, but absolutely malevolent within.
when words of being become belief, the recondite moon becomes a righteous face completely full of itself.
even ten thousand words can never touch no word.
thus the buddha silently holds up a flower; the flower holds a bee.
"You were never no locomotive, Sunflower, you were a sunflower!"
after all, even the ‘sunflower sutra’ doesn't have the energetic dynamism of a sunflower.
sunflower! you are more powerful than a locomotive! you are able to leap this world in a single bound!
you don’t do love; love does you.
locomotive breath! your words are only so much smoke!
when thinking you’re a thought, love does you filtered and divided accordingly; when silent, love does you as love delightfully.
poet! don't be like god; just be. you already are that god; no more words are needed.

the natural light sutra
in the name of awareness and being and love, om shanti shanti shanti.
a cardinal, a robin, and a blue jay walk into this watering hole.
“Life force, love and consciousness are all one in essence.”
i used to read Nisargadatta Maharaj for knowledge; now i read for love.
conceive this.
i am; therefore i know i am; thus i love i am.
it's the samadhi old story.
to be the change, be the light.
the fluttering of leaves reflects the fluttering heart.
the light as sunlight is seeing and the light as lifelight is being.
how's it guna be?
vasana in the highest?
love doesn't just make the world go 'round; love literally makes the world.
because you are.
the mind may think it dies and there is no god, but love knows differently; it is god.
i got blisters on my heart!
“The innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.”
apres Nisargadatta, la page blanc.
celebrate your unbirthday now.

the talking big bang evolutionary ah ha sutra
the tears of silence rise.
and then there was green.
before the appearance of silence is
that which doesn't even have a word.
so the big bang is the mind's name for silence.
yet it's not that none of this is happening;
it's just we only think all of this is happening.
for evolution is the mind's name for now.
only after eating the fruit of mind did adam&eve grow bodies.
and feeling good is the codependent of feeling bad.
such is the delusional nature of woeman!
then einstein agrees: light knows no time.
love is neither good nor bad; it just is—
the corollary is: you aren't.
and in the light of day, it is seen there is not even the light of day.

the shore sutra
flowing is flowing along a flowing.
to the mind it's a great tectonic & evolutionary
struggle resulting in river & shoreline but
for consciousness there's nothing to it.
a rose by any other name is still not a rose.
docks are the mind of the river, holding
an inevitable flotilla against the flowing.
you can never think your way to love.
a fluttering of orange threading through a shivering of green
through which a flowing of invisibility is breathing.
a butterfly is witchgrass which is zephyr.
when you as consciousness know yourself,
in no time at all even an earthworm, even earth
itself, knows itself as that perfect pure awareness.

Nisargadatta’s Ultimate Sutra
His Complete Teaching in 442 Words:
You see, this "I-am-ness" is normally this five-elemental interaction and play. Out of the earth, with the help of water, sprouting of vegetation takes place. Out of vegetation, the essences are drawn and out of the essences, which are the food for all beings, come the grains for human beings. Now from the quintessence of this food, the "I-am-ness" is sustained. The food is stored in the form of a body. The food is continuously consumed by the vital breath. And in the process of consuming this food, the vital breath sustains that flame of "I-am-ness." To have "I-am-ness," the food body and vital breath are very necessary; in short, one may say it is a product of food body essence and vital breath. Then only this "I-am-ness" or consciousness is available.
Now the consciousness, when it gets involved with the body-mind, is the individual. It is conditioned by body and mind. Mind is concepts. Whatever it receives through the five senses, and is stored, that is the mind. And whatever the words that flow out, that is also mind. So when that consciousness is conditioned by the body and the mind, it is individualistic, a personality. And I always tell people, you depersonify yourself by not identifying with the body-mind. When you do that, you are that manifest principle; you are no more a personality, you are only consciousness.
When you are in that consciousness state, you are in a position to observe the mind flow, any thoughts occurring to you-you are apart from thought. You don't identify with that thought. Since you observe the body and its actions, you are not one with those; you are apart from that body. Thus, you are now in consciousness; that is the first stage. So when you are only consciousness, you are all manifest; this is to be realized. Then, provided you are, everything is, your world is, and your god is. You are the primary cause, the prerequisite for anything else to exist, whether it be your god or your world. You abide only in consciousness. In your attention, only consciousness should be there. That is the meditation.
Now the next step is-the question raised in the morning-are you in a position to observe consciousness? This is also the final step. When you are in a position to observe or witness consciousness-and, of course, the vital breath, body and its actions-then by virtue of that very observation, you are apart from the consciousness.
So when you are in a position to observe consciousness, you are out of consciousness. Then you are what we call "the awareness state," the vijnana or jnana state.

the mindless sutra
words write themselves.
i am not just one spontaneous iambic line but i am headless, yes, i am.
the mind doesn't know.
no? yes!
when you know you can never know, then you will know.
the same intelligence that creates the universe
and operates the amazing mechanics of bodies
is the teacher—when the student becomes silent.
unthink it through.
no mind doesn't mean no mind; it means no meaning.
i am the god of i am and i bring you love.
you think you're the leaves but one is really the root.
no thought is original; only love is.
unimagine yourself.
the mind IS the space-time continuum.
things happen if you let them and things happen if you don't let them.
consciousness dreams for real.

the locus sutra
the conditioned appearance of the universe is thinking; you are not.
the torrent of words keeps on rolling; the river bank just keeps watching.
since nothing ever really happens, give all attention to what’s happening.
everything in the world matters precisely because nothing in the world matters.
superman appears to change into clark kent but is really always superman.
green kryptonite is only a self-limiting thought.
only the mind could think there's something more or less.
the less time you create, the more space you fill.
the universe is my body, but i am not the universe.
in conclusion, there is no beginning.
when everything is known to be a conditioned appearance
in the consciousness that i am,
all is seen to be pure expression of that bliss i am.
atman is brahman is parabrahman; wo/man is eagle is sky!

the osama sutra
in the name of no reason, no purpose, no merit, action!
we are one network, indivisible, with ten thousand times six billion causes appearing each second, it's more accurate to say there's none.
“do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.”
“no damned cat, no damned cradle.”
osama gets killed, some people cheer, others fret, the dalai lama says whatever.
love is filtered through many emotional lenses, but compassion looks only at the original light; the rest is just a laser show.
in the name of no subject, no object, no nothing, light!
