The most real state = nothingness

[WIREMAN]

Return to the
Hepcat burn
Everything is, was, will be
We are all one
Just being alive
On a magnificent ride
Before your original face
Coming from nothing
Going to nothing
Why fear?
Why sad?
You will never know
Then it will all start again
But you won't know

How I feel constantly! Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone

Inspired by the teachings of Alan Watts, a man I've been reading since the early 70's.....I feel I was blessed to discover his writing at an early age....

nice flow mark, the soft parade of time...so enjoy the floats while they pass...find a little empathy....jettison your ego....be one

I started out on Alan Watts too, thanks for the poem.

We can never fully
realize the Whole
without realizing
One.

The path is not thru mind’s logic,
but beyond the limitations of Mind

Abstractions being witness
to what lies beyond mind.

We owe it to ourselves
to unwrap the conditioning
which has prevented
us from knowing
True Self.

I like this. Unfortunately----why unfortunately? Because I was taught to believe in eternal consciousness----unfortunately I think you are right----so your advice seems good----it is the brain-washing as a child that muddies the waters of possibility.

Thanks friends.... I feel this is the now, it's what we have.... Where is the face before u were born? Most likely it's where u go after u expire in this body.... It's better to let go of the ego and be part of the cosmos, like a tree in the forest or a fish in the deep blue sea....

just wanted to say I really enjoyed the comments on this thread....S8 is a insightful bunch of writers that like to express what they have experienced in their life through their poetry, that ends up being contributions to the collective consciousness that we can all draw hope from....

keep up the good work....
