(Forty-Plus Photograph)
Forty-Plus (C) 2009 RFHay; As the previous post suggests, a marriage of Positive and Negative, Vibrant and Still, Plus and Minus or One and Zero may be likened to a Cosmic Wedding of the Divine Masculine and Feminine Principles (or Christ and His Bride); Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Conscious Being Is
An Amalgam of Still and
Vibrant Awareness.
Aware-Presence is
An Amalgam of Still and
Vibrant Awareness.
[Rich Note: A number of potential substitutes for the first line follow: Being Itself Is, Pure Consciousness Is, The One I AM Is, The Son of God Is, The Christ of God Is, The Word made Flesh Is, Divine Spirit Is, "I as I Am" Is, In Truth I Am Is, All That I Am Is, All That I See Is, That which I Am is, Everything Seen Is, All Creation Is, All Existence Is and Knowledge I Am Is.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Seeing of Being)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Elemental Photograph)
Elemental © 2008 RFHay; "Fire, Air, Earth and Water" as Elemental Vibratory Patterns of Conscious Energy that we witness and then conceptualize into "dirt, scrub brush, dead roots, pine tree, river bank, rippling water, reflected sunlight and air; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
I Am the Seeing
Of Being I Am and not
A body or mind.
I Am the Seeing
Of Being I Am and not
The person I think.
I Am the Seeing
Of Being I Am and not
A concept of That.

Hay-Ku of the Day (One In Many)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Bend In the River Photgraph)
Bend In the River (c) 2008 RFHay; Where is this beautiful image momentarily arising, if not the "field of conscious energy" withing the geographic confined of your skull (physically speaking); and are you the Ultimate Witness of the That or just another mental object; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Seeing Itself as
I Am is the Absolute
Nature of Being.
That by which I see
I Am is the Absolute
Nature of Being.
[Rich Note: What’s going on within the geographic confines of your skull, behind your eyes, right now? Is it not everything you see before your eyes, and is this not actually composed of patterns of mental energy arising within your own head? Is it not also true that the patterns which you presently identify as yourself are composed of the exact same mental material you identify as other? (from the metaphoric introduction to Chapter 5, “Of Twain One New Man,” of Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses).]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Ultimate Reality)
[RichNote: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Faded Flyboy Photograph)
Faded Flyboy: A "very young flyboy" who hasn't existed, excepted as photographic memory (presently appearing as a pattern of conscious energy), in 40 years (taken at Williams AFB, AZ in 1969) and, as such, is no longer Real by Absolute Standards; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
The Seer and Seen
Always change whereas Seeing
Itself Never does.
[Rich Note: By Absolute Standards, only that which never changes is Real. Or, as Sri Ramana replied when Papaji's answered "I've been playing with Krishna" when asked "Where have you been?", "Where is Krishna Now? What comes and goes is not Real!"]

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Buddha Mind Photograph)
Buddha Mind (C) 2008 RFHay; "Buddha Mind" is another Name for the Aware Presence of Being, Conscious Aliveness, Consciousness(of God) or Witnessing Presence I Am Conscious of Being; Realizing "I Am That" which knows "I Am" is the Ultimate Self-Realization; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Seeing "I Am That
By which I know I Am" is
Self-Realization.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Enlightenment)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Dead End Photograph)
Dead End (C) 2008 RFHay; Being a "mental subject" (as one end of a conceptual stick) that has relations with "mental objects" (the other end of the same stick), instead of "Being the Seeing" of both, is a case of mistaken identity that leds to a "dead end"; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Being the Seeing
In which everything happens
Is Enlightenment.
Being the Seeing
In which everything happens
Is Instant Freedom.
[Rich Note: More potential third lines: I Am Free at Last; Restores Paradise; Offers Salvation; Is the Grace of God; Is Life, Light and Love; Is self-transcending; Is beyond the mind; Is missed by the mind; Is what we all seek; Cannot be attained and Frees me from myself.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Self-Transcendence)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Pearl of Great Worth Photograph)
Pearl of Great Worth (C) 2009 RFHay; Humans have a "self-transcendent potential to Be" that depends on their "waking-up" to being beyond conception and so Seeing they are not the "mental mushrooms (kept in the dark and feed fertilizer) they think: Companion haiku: Accompanying.
I Am the Seeing
That includes and transcends both
The "seer and seen."
I Am the Seeing
That includes and transcends All
Relative matters.
[Rich Note: Polar opposites, linguistic pairs, self-reflective thought, carnal conception, carnal mindedness and relativity would all work equally well as the third line of the second offering.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Where's Waldo?)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Temporal Beauty Photograph)
Temporal Beauty © 2008 RFHay: Is “I as I think I am” any more substantial, in terms of its present physical reality, then this lovely photography memory of a rose that ceased to be (in other than a photographic form) more than a year ago?; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Can the locus of
Being I call “me” be found
When I look for it?
What is found if I
Look for the locus of thought
I think to be “me”?

Hay-Ku of the Day (Locus or Hocus Pocus?)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Big Tree Photograph)
Big Tree 2007; A relative perspective creates a “central sense of being” that makes “me feel and act” as if “I” were the Center of the Universe,” but where is the locus of this “central sense of self” I refer to as “me"?; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Is there a locus
For the Consciousness I Am
Aware of Being?
Is there a locus
For the Aware Presence of
Being I call “me”?

Hay-Ku of the Day (Self-Limitation)
[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Into the Light Photograph)
Into the Light © 2007 RFHay; This cave’s dark and close confines versus the light and vast space of “all out doors” is a beautiful metaphor for the “cave of relative mind and thought” compared to the boundless potential to Be of Pure Awareness; companion haiku: Accompanying.
The ego limits
An otherwise Absolute
Potential to Be.
Thinking relative
Limits mankind’s Absolute
Potential to Be.
Carnal conception
Constrains Mankind’s Limitless
Potential for Life.
[Rich Note: Although somewhat redundant with respect to the last offering, these do serve to more fully indicate what the “present cap” (re: the relative, self-reflective, carnal state of egocentric mind and/or consciousness we mistakenly identify with as ourselves)] on “Our Limitless Potential to Be” ultimately is.]

(The Sky's the Limit Photograph)
The Sky’s the Limit © 2008 RFHay; Although it “only appears” that the plane at the head of this contrail is “heading for the stars” it still makes a nice companion to today’s offering; Companion haiku: Accompanying.
We are joint-heir to
An Absolute Potential
To Be thought limits.
Mankind’s Absolute
Potential to Be is bound
By relative thought.

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]
(Apparent Flying Photograph)
Apparent Flying © 2008 RFHay; If the guy with the wings imagines he's flying based on his own “personal effort” he would be missing the fact he isn’t really flying and that standing on the shoulders of "unseen others" only gaves that appearance;Companion haiku: Accompanying.
Being what I Am
In Essence requires zero
Personal effort.
Being what I Am
In Spirit and Truth takes no
Effort on “my part.”
