Hay-Ku of the Day (Still and Always)

Without any Self-
Reference Mental Focal
Length is Infinite.

Without any Self-
Reference Breadth of Vision
Length is Infinite.

***

Observing without
Self-Referential Thought is
Being the Seeing,

Observing without
Self-Referential Thought is
Being Awareness.

Self-reflective thought
Requires mental motion that
Stillness terminates

***

Self-reference births
A pseudo dichotomy
Mental Stillness ends.

Self-reflective thought
Shortens mental focus length
And breadth of vision.

Relaxing self-thought
Extends mental focal length 
Beyond Conception.

***

To "Be Still" is to
Revert to an Infinite
Mental Focal Length.

Taking a moment
To relax mental focus
And Notice Being.

***

The "All Seeing-Eye"
Sees "Alpha to Omega"
In "No Time at All."

The "All Seeing-Eye"
Has Infinite focal length
And "Sees All at Once."

"8. Mental Camera: The lense of one's mind may be likened to the lense on a camera. Zoomed in for a close-up, breath of vision narrows, while foreground expands, magnifies and is brought into sharp relief. The cost of this "up close and personal" vision of reality, however, is that the peripheral field is largely ignored or blanked out -- physically in the case of the camera and mentally in the case of the mind. Reverse this process and quite the opposite becomes true. For the lense of ones mind, as with that of a camera, can also be opened to the level of infinity. In which case, the maximum field of vision returns and maximum context and meaning is attained." 1992, U/D 4/10/9, 2017


[Rich Note: The "time standing still" component of the Vietnam emergency bailout experience implied just such an "Infinite Mental Focal," as self-referencing mind and thought, as a simple survival mechanism, had fail-safed off, , due to insufficient time and data to process.]
