b42 (6.1-1.2005): echoes in the sand

                  
                   echoes in the sand                   
by  a petite echo 
 
echoes in the sand
whispers in the night
dancing in the dark
Now, Awaken (Light!)
 
Oneness in your heart
Healing in your hands
Macro-cosmic Art, a start, with
echoes in the sand

b42 (5.18.5.2005): die-nasty

die-nasty [1]                             
by w. inner
 
we lived by one, short, simple rule:
we right, alright: (you sin)
we only had one, simple goal
we had one mantra: win
 
and so we won, most every time
and so we the world could see
and so we didn’t realize, in time
 
we: die-nasty
____________________________________
 
  • when the only goal is winning, then we have to “defeat” those “other” guys.  the whole idea is the perpetuation of separation. 
  • when “winning” is the only goal, we never (Really) One.

b42 (5.10-1.2005): empty

                    empty [1]                               
by m. t. eeye
 
sometimes there’s a void
a something deep inside
a nothing, full of hunger
just thumbing for a ride
a dark depression: lonely
a space no one can fill
i hope that i meet spirit, and
i think i know i will

b42 (5.8-2.2005): duality is Oneness

duality is Oneness [1]                           
by d. u. ality
 
duality is Oneness
the opposite of Whole
the left and right of In-Complete
the back and forth of Soul
the us and them of All In One
the up and down of Here
the in and out of Now, again
the black and white of fear
 
duality is Oneness
this is-n’t hard to See
the ebb and flow of Ocean, wave
the i and you of We
_____________________________
 
  • from this Perspective, the duel of dual is Really One. 
  • if so, this is not an earthly perspective.

before the beach went gray
before the water changed from emerald blue to death’s decay
before the you-man cancer cells woke up and shouted “more”
before the bells
before the wells
before cold hell
before

b41 (4.8-5.2005): what the bleep

what the bleep [1]                                         
by joal martino
 
welcome to my world.  i’m not sure if any of you actually exist, but i believe that you do – here – in the recesses of my mind and soul.
 
it probably doesn’t matter, anyway.
 the One is the One, and matter is no matter, and so what?
 
but let’s address the cosmic god-force practically, from the earthly perspective, so that we can (maybe) make some sense of what we are doing here.
 
first of all, we can assume that illusions are common.  we know that our eyes deceive.  we know that a huge object (a building, for example) can appear to be small, from a distance.  we “see” that the sun rises in the east and “sets” in the west, but we know that this perception is deception.
 
we hear the sound of a baseball, hitting a bat… but we hear it after seeing it happen.  we see lightning, but hear the instantaneous sound of thunder much later.  we “taste” with our mouth, but then experience non-taste when we pinch our nose closed as we eat.
 
our senses deceive.  no -- better yet, our senses are only able to provide us with a bit of the truth, at the sensory level.  in Truth, there are many truths, at many levels, simultaneously truth-ing.
 
we only (Really) “Know” (Capital “K”) ONE thing:
 I Am
 
we interpret every-thing based upon limited senses and limited experience, based upon memories based upon limited senses and limited experience.  it’s like a caterpillar, basing butter-flight on the experience of crawling.
 
at the worm-level, the caterpillar cannot conceive of flight.  at the Inner-Level of Collective Memory or Collective Cognition, that which is caterpillar becomes the butterfly.
 
think about that: in all of your crawling, creeping ugly-ness… you (yes, You) are the Beauty and Perfection that is the butterfly.
 
let’s get this on record:
 
you, at your very worst… 
…are the very pinnacle of Perfect Oneness, Perfect Love, and 
Perfect Expression.
 
we just don’t experience it that way, at this level.
_______________________________________________
 
what does this mean to you and me (here)? 
  1. we are (in effect) living within our own, Virtual Reality Move-ie.
  2. we create, we man-u-facture our fractured reality.
  3. we may (or may not) “exist” as we know it.
  4. we “know” very little, and we have forgotten most of what we Really Know.
  5. we are here to experience this realm of perception, and we have quite a bit of creative-control over that which we experience.
  6. like it or not, we are creating our own future with every thought, every word, every action.
