Hay-Ku of the Day (“No Thing” or “Nothing?”)

A “Formless Field State”

Of Consciousness” is “No Thing”

But is “Not Nothing.”

A “Formless Field” is

“Empty of Form” and “No Thing” 

But Is “Not Nothing.”

***

A “Formless Field of

Energy” is “No Thing” but

It is not “Nothing.”

A “Formless Field of

Energy” is “Vibrant” and

“Innately Changeful.”

***

Only “That Which Is”

“Absolutely Changeless” is

“Absolutely Real.”

Only “That Which Is”

“Perfectly Changeless” can “Be

Absolutely Real.”

***

“Pure Energy’s” a

“Vibrant Self-Expression” of

“Still State Potential.”

“Energy” is the 

“Ground of All Existence” but

Is “Still Relative.”

***

“All That Is” is a

“Vibrant Self-Expression” of

“Still State Potential.”

The “Absolute” In

“Vibrant Self-Expression” is

The “Ground State of All.”

***

“Absolute Nothing”

Has a “Still State Potential”

“To Be All There Is.”

“Home” is a “Still Point

Of Absolute Peace” at the

“Heart of Awareness.”

[Rich Note: The accompany abstract is a visual representation of the following three paraphrased Sri Nisargadatta Principles:

(1) Consciousness is a Bubble on the Absolute.

(2) We are Rays of the Absolute.

(3) We are Dimensionless Points in (at the Heart of Awareness or) Consciousness (like holes in a paper bag). ]

[Rich Note: Please forgive the redundancy of these messages, as the “daddy 🦅 is trying to get the baby 🦅 out of the nest and soaring upon it’s own wings and under its own power — similarly to a poem entitled “Unsung Hero” (a.k.a. “The Wive’s Poem) which, quite literally, “took on a life of its own.”]

Haiku of the Day (Believing in Belief)

That which I as a

Believer believe in most

Is the “believer.”

That which I as a

Believer believe in the

Most is “believing.”

What I believe in

Most of All is “Myself as

I believe I am.”

What I believe in

Most of All is “Myself as

The one who believes.”

What I believe in

Most of all is the “one I 

Now believe I am.”

What I believe in

Most of all is the “one I 

Imagine I am.”

Hay-Ku of the Day (“Little Blossoms On the Tree of Life”)

[Rich Note: As further encouragement to those who have yet to download their FREE copy of “Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses” (OOMM) or to share that opportunity with friends, here is the beautifully poetic, never-the-less profoundly quintessential, synoptic  endorsement by Michael Haynes, that closes OOMM’s Appendix I, “Additional Endorsements, ‘Where Two or Three are Gathered Together in My Name.” 

https://www.amazon.com/Richard-Hay/e/B002BLJNPE ]

"Richard's Haiku's are as little Blossoms on the Tree of Life. From the One source they arise, expressed through one man's later life. 

“Ah! Autumn years see 

Syllables expressed in 

Form: a Haiku. Ah! 

“Silly syllables 

What wisdom lies hid in the 

Words: a Senryn. Ah!

“His deft use of few words, in Haiku's. 

Will delight all who this book peruse; 

For they speak of the 

One Who, when all's said and done, It is by, through, and for Him

that Hay coos. 

“Echoes praising God through his own voice. Reading them, One smiles in remembrance. 

“The following selection says it all. Read the book for the simple joy of it.

Pure awareness wed 

To limitless sensation 

Gives birth to being. 

"I am that by which 

I know I am" conscious of 

Present existence. 

For man to know God 

It must really be God who 

Knows Himself in man. 

Though reflected in 

The circumstance, God is 

Found at the center.”

—- Michael Haynes, Car Manufacturing Manager, Melbourne, Australia

[Rich Note: Mike was a very unassuming, “Enlightened Guy,” whose book I had stumbled across and read in the early 2000’s. Like John Greven, he “Woke-Up,” wrote a great book about it, and then simply went back to “living his worldly life” (or at least I assume so, as we lost track of each other).]

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Subject-Object Dichotomy)

Seeing Life from a 

Subject-Object Perspective 

Is Double-Minded.

Self-Identified

With relative states of mind 

I forget Being.

I am subject to

The partial limits of mind 

Because I think so.

Misidentify 

Yourself and life is a tale 

Told by an idiot.

Thinking of Being

Consciously Aware turns Life

Into a Mind Game.

Egocentric thought

Subjects one to the laws of

Relative being.

I am subject to

Relative matters because

I believe I am.

(1) Wu Wei Wu (Terrance Grey)-Wise:

A. “As Wei Wu Wei (Terrance Grey)?observes in “All Else is Bondage”:

“As long as we are identified with an object: that is bondage. As long as we think, act, live via an object, or as an object: that is bondage. As long as we feel ourselves to be an object, or think we are such (and a “self ” is an object): that is bondage.”

B. “Once the nature of the problem is understood, the question that tends to arise is “How can one escape this condition?” Wei Wu Wei points out that at this stage there is the danger that the objectified self, or ego, may decide to make itself “more spiritual” in order to “attain” liberation and begin some sort of rigorous “spiritual practice” to achieve this end. But he sees this as merely a defensive measure on the part of the ego to sidestep the real issue—this being the fact of its own inexistence as an independent entity...”

C. “Are you still thinking, looking, living, as from an imaginary phenomenal centre? As long as you do that you can never recognise your freedom.” 

“Could any statement be more classic? 

“Could any statement be more obvious? 

“Could any statement be more vital? 

“Yet—East and West—how many observe it? So Could any statement be more needed?”

—Wu Wei Wu

Hay-Ku of the Day (Bedeviled by Thought)

A mental fire-storm

Of dark possibility, 

Thought into being.

Self-centered thinking 

Causes such unhappiness —

Bedeviled by thought.

Constant resistance, 

Kicking against worldly pricks —

Self-inflicted wounds

Hell is in your head, 

Heaven is in your heart and 

Love is everywhere. 

“A Half Truth...Is a Whole Lie!” 

                 — Yiddish Proverb

“There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays to the devil.”

Hay-Ku of the Day (Bright Blazing Sun)

Infinite rays shine,

Blazing from one central sun,

Universal light.

A bright, blazing sun,

Mirrored in a mountain lake,  

Self-reflecting glory.

Pure white light hidden

In a prismatic rainbow 

Of endless color.

Cloud enshrouded sky

Momentarily masking 

A prodigal sun.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Cosmic Labor Pains)

My soulful anguish

Mid-wife to Divine Glory 

Cosmic Labor pains.

Liquor Store Bottle

Easing with forgetfulness

My soul sick sorrow.

Auger of desire

Sharp cutting edge of despair

Bursting into Light.

Slowly drifting off

Thought and feeling pass away

Practicing my death.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Divine Callings)

Subject to Mental

Myopia I lose sight 

Of the Big Picture.

Re-Integrating

Relative Perspectives is 

A Divine Calling.

Only an Outlaw

Suffers under the Law – an

In-Law Fulfills It. 

Faith in Doctrine is 

Worshiping conceptual 

Graven Images.

Any God that Is

Other than I Am can’t Be 

An Absolute One.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Mental Moth Holes)

Thinking causes one

To burn “mental moth holes” in

The Present moment.

Relative thinking

Involves minding this to the

Exclusion of that. 

Minding this to the

Exclusion of that creates

Double mindedness.

Mechanisms of 

Perception project their own

Relative limits. 

Self-referential

States of mind project their own

Limited nature.
