Hay-Ku of The Day (A Selection from OOMM, Chapter 2, “Through a Glass Darkly, But then Face to Face”)

The human mind is

A mental house divided

By relative thought.

Form-fixated mind

Loses sight and sense of the

Field of Awareness.

Minding this to the

Exclusion of that ignores

The Knowledge I Am.

Sequential shifting

Of mental focal points is

How we create time.

Paying attention

Is equivalent to self —

Sacrifice and Love.

Thought polarizes mind

Into sequential states of 

Partial Consciousness.

Thinking of myself

In relative terms I am

Subject to objects.

Self-knowledge is the 

Missing ingredient that makes 

Most ideas half-baked.

Thinking is a kind

Of sleep in which mankind dreams 

Of being awake.

Thinking causes one

To burn mental moth holes in

The Present Moment.

Man mistakes thinking

For Being and then fears the

Loss of thought as death.

Thinking of Being 

Consciously Aware is not 

Really being That.

A Master of Mind

Or a slave to circumstance — 

One or the other.

Egocentric thought

Subjects One to the laws of 

Relative Being.

Add-On:

If I can’t control

My thoughts, what makes me believe

I am their thinker?

[Rich Note: The second in a chapter by chapter sampling of “Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses.” I would further encourage anyone whose interest might be piqued  to download the Amazon Kindle sample of OOMM, as it effectively constitutes a synoptic, 59 page “mini-book .”]
