(Fancy Uroboros Photograph)

Fancy Uroboros; Intentional or not this depiction of a Western Garter Snake is also an Uroboros which not only represents Infinity but "recycling or renewal of the Universe" (For scientific types: check out The Big Tube Theory at http://www.mu6.com/uroboros).

What makes "me" think I
Can control "my" world if I
Can't control "my" self?

[Rich Note: Given the "777"(numbers some might call prophetic and, perhaps, the Good Lord's way of reminding us Who Is Really In Charge) point" dip in the stock market yesterday, I thought shifting to a direct consideration of "self-control" as it relates to previous observations with regard to an apparent "inner me" controlling an "outer world" (that relative thought supposes and, I would suggest, actually creates) might be appropriate.]

[Rich Note: "Mind and Life" both work as good alternatives for "self" in the third line.]

(State of Mind Photograph)

State of Mind © 2008 RFHay; This image replays a "particular state of my mind" that "came and went" during an outing in Oregon earlier this year (and now, as you look at it, is arising as a state of yours); Companion haiku: Relating to States of the Consciousness I Am as "other than" That.

I relate to States
Of my own Consciousness as
Other than I Am.

(Valley of the Shadow Photograph)

Valley of the Shadow © 2007 BKWright; The play of "Darkness and Light" in this image serves as a lovely visual metaphor for the Primal Duality of "Stillness and Vibration" through which Pure (or Singular) Consciousness entertains (and is entertained by) States of Itself; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

A "Singular Field"
Of Consciousness entertains
Partial states of Mind.

A "Singular Field"
Of Consciousness entertained
By Relative States.

[Rich Note: "Alternating States" also works for the third line of the first piece.]
