Hay-Ku of the Day (Unwitting Self-Worship)

Part 1

Minding is paying

Attention to this to the 

Exclusion of that.

Paying attention 

Is equivalent to self-

Sacrifice and love.

I am worshipping 

Whatever I'm paying the

Most attention to.

Part 2:

"Me, myself and I"

Is the "object of worship"

While "I am thinking."

"Thinking all the time"

Means I am unwittingly

"Worshipping myself."

Part 3:

Minding the "Aware

Presence of Being I Am"

Is Worshipping God.

Paying Attention

To Being instead of thought

Is worshipping God.

Part 4 (OOMM Oldies):

Pay attention kids! 

Repeated so many times --

Life’s only lesson!

Paying Attention

To Being Aware pays the

Biggest Dividends.

Worshipping the past 

Imagining the future

Missing the Moment.

[Rich Note: All of which points to the operative or "Saving Grace Principle" behind of the First and, according to Jesus, Great Commandment (of the Law of Life):

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:37-40 KJV

Which in more pragmatic, psychological terms becomes :

We can "stop minding

Thought" by "Loving God with All

Out Heart, Mind and Soul."

Or simpler still:

I can "stop minding

Thought" by "Minding God" as the 

"Awareness I Am."]

Or more Metaphorically Speaking:

Pay Attention (to Being Instead Self-of is Loving God): "We as centers of conscious attention, as focal points of light in a limitless field of awareness, sacrifice ourselves to whatever we attend to in any given moment. As such, paying attention to any outer phenomena, mental, physical or emotional, actually constitutes “waiting upon and thus serving” the object we attend to mentally. So it is that the moment to moment center of our conscious awareness may be rightly categorized as the object of mental attraction, affection and/or love, be it positive or negative. In this regard, paying exclusive attention to anything, be it oneself or another, for any length of time, is to worship and pay homage to that object. Seen in this light, paying conscious attention actually involves a sacrifice one of self as subjective state of mind and consciousness, as a field of pure awareness, to some graven mental image or idol (thought, sense or feeling) that arises in the field of conscious awareness." 1992 U/D 3/28/96; 4/03.
