Hay-Ku of the Day (Hardwired)

I am Hardwired to

Believe I am the center 

Of the universe.

Hardwired to think I

Am the center of my world 

And acting like it.

I am both hardwired

And programmed to feel I am

In charge of my life.

Inspired by the following linked YouTube of the 2005 Kenyon College Commencement Address given by David Foster Wallace - a 22 minute talk that should be mandatory listening for ever man, woman and adolescent child in the world:

http://youtu.be/8CrOL-ydFMI

[Rich Note: A slightly edited, related background dialogue stream, with old buddy James Post, as it relates to a shared post that was critical of higher  education (for those who may be interested in such details):

James: "A quality liberal arts education will help students focus on what to think about (not earn "gold stars"). I'm sorry this author had such a bad experience. Here is a no b/s talk (commencement speech) by a great author on the importance of awareness and focus that I think you will enjoy Richard. I hope you'll watch and let me know what you think."

http://youtu.be/8CrOL-ydFMI

Rich Part I: Great to hear from you, James!

Before I read this, and (comment accordingly), I'll pass along something I concluded after finishing 15 months of an Air Force sponsored MBA in 1976, which was: what they taught me to "think about" was not nearly as  important as the "new and different ways of looking at and thinking about" what was being taught; that and the greatly increased capacity for mental self-discipline and focus, as well as an ability to see in the context of a bigger, non-local picture or frame of self-reference; and, with that, the attendant natural insight (or intuitive wisdom) that the "longer mental focal lengths and wider breadths of vision" that such "big picture thinking and seeing" often occasions.

Rich Part 2: You were right, James, I absolutely loved David Foster Wallace's "This Is Water" commencement address.  As brilliant and inspired (divine or otherwise) a summation of the "human dilemma and it's resolution," as I've ever heard. 

Pure genius from beginning to end, James, and as "Spot On" a diagnosis and and cure for human suffering as one might ever hope to find.  Should be made mandatory listening for every man, woman and child presently "hardwired to think" they are "subject to self-reflective mind and thought," and in "sole charge of 'their' life."

Interestingly enough, I'm in the process of taking Bentinho Madsaro's online Trinfinity Academy Course on Self-Realization and Actualization that specifically addresses, in an extremely comprehensive and unique manner, a way of actually "re-wiring the 'I am this or that, center of the universe, person in the world' hardwiring" David indicates "we can choose to overcoming" in his address.

I'll send a related sample that clearly addresses the "psycho-physical-emotional dynamics" of what it really means to be a human being; a wonderful exposition I feel you'll find much more than interesting via e-mail.  

Although the course, which is top draw all the way, can be taken for free for a month, after finishing the Enlightenment 1 section, I'm all in for the duration.

Thanks for David's YouTube, I'll be passing it along to all my close and not so close friends.

Yours, Rich.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Purify Your Hearts)

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee." Proverbs 23:7 KJV

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." James 1:8 KJV

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners (self-ignorant); and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8 KJV

OOMM Oldies:

Purity of heart

Refers to a state of mind

Empty of itself.

Double mindedness 

Refers to a relative 

State of awareness.

Related Pop-Ups:

Purity of heart

***

Double mindedness

Implies a mental house that

Is self-divided.

Double mindedness

Is a mind polarized by

Reflective self-thought.

Double mindedness 

Is a "self-referencing"

State of awareness.

Double mindedness

Sees Life from a "Subject and 

Object" perspective.

Double mindedness

Sees Life though a "Subject and 

Object" mental lens.

Double mindedness 

Assumes a "self and other"

Relation to Life.

[Rich Note: A related metaphor that introduced Chapter Seven, "Purify Your Hearts Ye Double Minded," of "Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses:

"A dual state of mind projects its relative limits in much the same way that looking through a pair of binoculars projects its circular limits. The mental screen of relative words and thoughts through which we look is similarly projected on the limitless horizons of consciousness. What we see is real, though the mental boundaries we unwittingly project are not. From this one might surmise that life is really some form of self-projection, both individual and collective, and that the world serves as a mirror in which it reflects. In this regard, both Scripture, which declares, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he . . .” (Pr.23:7), and quantum physics, which concludes that “the observer conditions his observations,” bear witness to the likelihood of this premise."]

Hay-Ku of the Day (True Self-Reference)

Only a partial
Frame of reference can keep
Being limited.

Only a partial
Frame of self-reference keeps
Awareness finite.

A relative frame
Of reference is keeping
Awareness finite.

***

The finite nature
Of being is projected
By relative mind.

The seeming finite
Nature of Being is a
Mental projection.

The seeming finite
Nature of Existence is
A self-projection.

***

When Aware Presence
Is your self-reference Life
Becomes Limitless.

Aware Presence as
A self-reference sets the
Mental captives free.

The Aware Presence
Of Being I Am is only
True Self-Reference.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Open Focus Awareness)

Shifting focus from

Thought to the Aware Presence

I Am offers Grace.

A Shift in Focus

From thought to Aware Presence

Of Being is Grace.

A Shift in Focus

From thought to the Awareness

Of Being I Am.

[Rich Note: The following haiku represent a conceptual breakthrough (a wedding of mental focal length and breadth of vision with relaxed mental focus), here, with respect to the operative principle behind the amazing efficacy of Bentinho's Massaro's seemingly simple, yet utterly profound, "2-5 seconds of relaxing or letting thought (opening mental focus and implicitly extending focal length) go and noticing the felt sense of the Presence (as in the "Aware Presence of Being I Am") of One's Existence as the Underlying Ground of both thought and All Conscious Being.

Programmed to love thought more

Being Consciously Aware

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Hole in Our Heart)

Hay-Ku of the Day (No Greater Gift)

Nothing is Greater

Then "I" as this "Awareness

Of Being I Am."

Nothing is less than

"I" as "I imagine and

Think myself to be."

Exposition: Nothing can be greater then Consciousness, as the Aware Presence of Being I Am, as anything that exists can only be known to exist in and through that Consciousness, or Awareness of Being I Am, that is "with me always" and without which neither "I nor anything else" would ever exist.

[Rich Note:  Both the haiku and conceptual exposition were Inspired by a clear delineation of self-evident "Principles of Life, Existence and Consciousness" (three synonyms for the One and the Same Ultimately Real Stuff) pointed out by Peter Francis Dzuiban in an excellent book entitled "Simply Notice: Clear Awareness is the Key to Happiness, Love and Freedom, Book 1."

[Rich Note: One Thing that All Human Beings, allegedly saved and unsaved alike, have is "God Given Faith" in their own "Life, Existence, Consciousness or Awareness of Being."  Their "programmed and conditioned human faith" in the "partial and imperfect report of relative thought, sense and feeling," and the sense of being a separate self it engenders, however, blinds them to the All-Originating Truth of their Primal Faith in Awareness of Being Itself (which is "Christ in You").]

Re:,"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not..." John 1:1-10 KJV

[Rich: Anna's following response to the selection of "Han" dialogues from Bill Samuel's "The Child Within Us Lives" shared below, inspired the companion haiku above:

Anna: "Absolutely wonderful! Thank you! Spread that around the world."

TIME AND COSMOLOGY (19) 

"A new clock is soon to be turned on in the world of time and space:" said old Han, talking to the group at the pond. "There is something that must be understood about time. The metaphysician's insistence that matter isn't what it seems to be and that time isn't real is only half right. I think that time is to be understood very soon.”

A JOURNAL MUSING (20) 

Godhead existed before time and space. The Ineffable still exists, infinite and eternal. 

Then what are time and space about? 

They exist for an essential purpose: that mortals might eventually come to understand and know the scope of the Ineffable source of themselves. When space has been traversed and the mysteries of time calculated, man will find he has touched only the edges of Ineffability. He will find himself like one who has counted all the grains of sand that cover the earth, measured all the leaves in all the forests of his dreams, and then awakens to find he knows nothing of the Dreamer as whom he exists."

HAN, MASTER OF KWANGSE PROVINCE (20) 

Talking to the little group assembled at the mountain pond, Han said, "When the Ineffable asked 'What am I?' the tangible world came into being. When the Ineffable asked 'Who am I?' life appeared." 

"What the hell does that mean?" the soldier asked, impatiently.

 "Very simply, the tangible world is God's knowledge of What God is," the old man answered. "Life is God's knowledge of Who God is. The Child within that sparks the life of each of us is God's own Self-awareness in the process of happening. That spark is God's Self-image. The arrogant and frightened ego that surrounds the spark is the husk of man-made nothingness standing like a veil between Godhead and Its Self-Image. The Who includes the What and there is no division between Awareness and the images that appear within it here." 

"And what does that mean?" the soldier asked, shaking his head in frustration." ]

Re: (related FB comment) "As Paul Hedderman so skillfully (and humorously) points out, with both his words and with his life story, all worldly additions flows from one, single fountainhead addiction: humanity's ongoing and unseen "addiction to self-referencing thought"; an addiction so powerful that we as Awareness Itself are so totally self-identified with and as thought (and its "presumed thinker") that this single-source of all addiction (and affliction) goes totally overlooked, ignored and unchallenged."

Hay-Ku of the Day ("The Holy Spirit")

The "Holy Spirit"

Of "Being Present."

We "All Live, Move and

"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." Acts 17:28 KJV

Hay-Ku of the Day (Surviving the Story of Me and the World It Creates)

Thinking is "mental

Story telling" that evolved

To forestall danger.

Thinking connects the

Mental dots that noticing

Creates of my world.

Thinking can become a

Closed-loop feedback system that

Gets "stuck on itself."

To "pay" attention

Is to "give myself" as a

"Mental focal point."

My attention is

Captured by "My Story" as

A survival tool.

In "our world" it is

Fear that captures attention, 

In God's It is Love.

"Self-referenced thought"

Is an "evolved mental thumb"

That "crowns itself king."

The center of one’s

Conscious attention is both

An altar and throne.

Who abides on the 

Throne of conscious attention 

In your mental house?

If "self-thought sits" on

The throne of your attention

What do you worship?

Re: "Neuroeconomist Paul Zak has found that a story -- a narrative with a beginning, middle and end -- causes our brains to release cortisol and ocytocin. These chemicals trigger the uniquely human abilities to connect, empathize and make meaning. Story is literally in our DNA (p.6)." (from a FB Rev. Len Sweet Post)

[Rich Note: Aha! the biology reason behind mankind's present "self-entranced, enthralled, infatuation and unchallenged self-identification with and addiction to "the story of me" (a.k.a. "the me that says my" or "separate-self sense," etc.) that now takes up the preponderance of humanity's waking conscious awareness, attention and energy.  

So my "love of the story of me," and the energized sense of reality my obsessive attention to it naturally creates, stems from our chemically induced and reinforced capacity to empathize and connect with and so give meaning and a sense of reality to "My Story."  Really does sounds like we have been "biologically set-up" to feel and accept this "individual and collective story of me" that most of us are "programmed and conditioned to tell ourselves" and accept as our "only true or ultimate reality."

A discovery that also offers a good biological clue as to our seemingly natural human proclivity "not to let the facts get in the way of a good story"; and, especially so, if the "story being contradicted by reality" just happens to be "the story of the self-separate me" my mind is so fond of both "telling and selling" to maintain its place at the center (or throne) of my conscious attention, in the field of awareness I ultimately am.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Mental Space and Leverage)

Without mental space

Between me and my thoughts I

Am a slave to them.

Without mental space

Between me and my thoughts I

Am a slave to mind.

***

Detachment from thoughts

Creates the leverage one needs

To control one's thoughts

The mental space and

Leverage detachment creates

Allows thought control.

***

The mental space and

Leverage of detachment fosters

Mental self-control.

The mental space and

Leverage detachment fosters

Can save you from mind.

Or Scripture-wise:

"Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." Ephesians 4:8 KJV

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" 2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV

The Knowledge of God

Is "the Knowledge I Am"

Conscious of Being.

Hay-Ku of the Day (You Are the Light of the World)

"Living Light It Is."
