THE EMPTY INFINITUDE OF GOD
Are you trying to give it all up?
You’re trying too hard!
Are you identifying with
all the thoughts that assault you?
You’re not trying hard enough!

What gives? Wot’re ya talkin’?
You want to come home, right?
You’re already there.
You just can’t stand that abuser.
Now you’re nowhere!

The Christ is within you.
That’s gotta be good!
Christ is in him too
You know … that hood!
‘Twill be understood.

Think only from the standpoint
– who you really are!
No, I mean really, really
And deeper yet – really
After all perceptions cease.

Now here’s the kicker:
God’s in us all – through us and
As us, surrounding us too –
The matrix, the apex
And all in between.

Who sees you? Who feels you?
Who thinks your thoughts?
NOT YOU !! NOT GOD !!
Your Self, my Self, all Self
supplants all other “perceivers”
In the sublime realm of the
Empty infinitude of God.

SELF-DIALOG
Man: I can’t stand it when …
Self: Who is doing the feeling?
Man: I am.
Self: Who is this “I”?
Man: Huh?
Self: Where are you located – in your feet? Legs? Torso? Lungs? Heart? Head? Where can you be found?
Man: I don’t know.
Self: Let’s look for you, shall we? You said you can’t stand something. Never mind who or what you can’t stand – that’s all garbage. We know you are present because this feeling is evident. But the You that you really are – right down to your very essence – unencumbered by perceptions, judgements, desires, fears – that You – is God, Absolute perfection, your Self.

Man: Then You’re me talking to me?

Self: Yes, that’s what is really going on. But the onus upon us is to get crystal clear on who and what this “self” that is You is. Once we acknowledge that it is not localized in your body, we can start to conceive of what and where it is … and then revisit that awful question “who or what is it that can or can’t stand something? ”

Man: I’m starting to see that I’ve got to think outside the box – spiritually.

Self: What and where is the box?

Man: That would be matter!

Self: Bravo! What does it consist of?

Man: A kind of etherealized matter?

Self: Pretty good. Eventually we’re going to see that it’s unreal, just something that your body-mind dreamed up. This non-existent container holds all your fears and phobias, anxieties, dramas and yes even your so-called short-lived pleasures. When you let it go a kind of shaking will take place because the body is loathe to surrender its foothold, but don’t let that frighten you in the least. After all, you have just fully aligned yourself with God for the first time – ever!

There’s no perfect person.
There’s no need to try to be one.
Empty all of that and everything else:
The cares & woes, the highs and lows
Pack it all in and just be.

Bask in the wonder of it all!
Who are you? I’m nobody.
What are you? I’m nothing.
Then why are you so darned happy?
Because I’m nobody and nothing.

THE ONLY QUESTION
“I just want to turn off my mind for awhile.”
It can be done – and easily. Ask yourself “Who or what is it that wants to turn off their mind?” That is THE QUESTION !!
Find that “I”: it’s right there!

A W A R E NESS
doesn’t move around.
Just wide open space.
In all its subtlety, awareness
Will crash the superstructure
Of all global false beliefs.

I am that conscious awareness
Of who “I” Am.
I, without anything attached
Vying for attention. Nothing.
Free to laugh and sing
Cry and shout
Or nothing at all.

Not a mind function
It’s of the heart.
The falsest of false beliefs
Is this “I’m not there yet.”
Who believes it is the one
We really are.
