Hay-Ku of the Day (The King of Glory)

“I Am” the “Open

Door and Gateless Gate” that “No

One will Ever Shut.”

“I Am” the “Open

Door and Gateless Gate” That Is

“Never Truly Shut.”

[Rich Note: Always loved this “Open Door Image that offers a prefect visual for the Gate-less Gate (I Am); and just called forth the above paraphrased extrapolation haiku.

Which were co-correlatively inspired by the following two verses (the second subconsciously): 

(1) “...I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it...” Revelation (3:8 KJV)

(2) “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” Psalm 24:7 (KJV)]

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Me Who Is That)

“Me” is a “Mental

Self-Objectification” 

Of “Pure Awareness.”

On a Permanent Up-Side:

“Me” is the “X that

Marks the Spot” of the “Still Point”

At the “Heart of All.”

“Me” is a “Local 

Central Self-Reference” that

“Orients Awareness.”

“Me” is a “Mental

Self-Reference” needed to

“Orient in Space-Time.”

On a Temporary Down-Side:

“I can imagine” 

I am me” and so “forget

I Am Awareness.”

“Me” as a “Mental

Self-Reference” can become

“All I think I Am.”

“I as Awareness”

Can “believe I am me” and

Forget “I Am That.”

[Rich Note:  The following dialogue stream, associated with the companion Cliff Pollard, “Cosmic Joke,” Facebook Page image, indicates the inspiration behind this HOTD:

Rich: But the “full version” may leave “me” out😱

Christina Rebekah Todd: Richard F Hay.   'me' whose that😁

Rich: Christina Rebekah Todd 

Thank You, Christina, as your ”...’me’ whose that😁...” [which is actually a self-answering question, when re-phrase: “The ME WHO Is THAT”😉) inspired the...(above)...HOTD...]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Zero Mental Distance)

At “Zero Distance”

And “Infinite Focal Length”

Only “One Remains.”

At “Zero Distance”

And “Infinite Focal Length” 

I Am “All There Is.”

At “Zero Distance”

And “Infinite Focal Length” 

I Am “One and All.”

At “Zero Distance”

And “Infinite Focal Length” 

I Know “‘I AM THAT.”

[Rich Note: From a short biography of DE Harding at the link that follows the excerpt:

“One day Harding stumbled upon a drawing by the Austrian philosopher and physicist Ernst Mach (1838-1916). It was a self-portrait – but a self-portrait with a difference. Most self-portraits are what the artist looks like from several feet – she looks in a mirror and draws what she sees there. But Mach had drawn himself without using a mirror – he had drawn what he looked like from his own point of view, from zero distance.” (See Related drawing by Mach.)]

[Rich Note: This is an arrangement of “Prime Intention” haiku inspired by Matt Kahn’s  “The Essential Key of Intention” YouTube; “Prime Intentions” which open with “May I...” (have a fill in the blank specific)...and end with “for the Benefit (Well Being or Blessing) of All.” 

Here’s a link to Matt’s “game changing interpretation,” at least from my perspective, of an “intention” as a change in the meaning we given to symbols that have no inherent meaning, in and of themselves:

“Real Love is always manifested in behavior.” ]

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Good and Bad Thieves)

Echoes of the past

Giving rise to present ghosts

And future specters.

Worshiping the past,

Imagining the future, 

Missing the moment.

The good and bad thieves 

Of the future and past are 

Stealing the present.

A mind divided

Between a future and past 

Is self-crucified.

[Rich Note 2: With respect to the companion image, “Has it really been two years?”

Well, In order to put this particular image, and a lot more of the “scary stuff” that appears to be happening on the surface of our collective reality, into some sort of “coherent, less than apocalyptic, the sky is not falling, macro context,” the following YouTube, “Energy Update: Anchoring the Divine Feminine,” by Matt Kahn, might be helpful (as it certainly was here):
