Poet Introduction
I follow Only the Rules Of Natural Cause; Though of Form And Design - It is All Mine.
Truth of the Way of Life
The greatest enemy to TRUTH is by WAY of deception.
The greatest struggle of LIFE is facing the enemy of TRUTH;
the adversary; deceitful and hypocritical.
This is the TRUTH of the WAY of LIFE;
made victorious with and by TRUTH alone.
So may the TRUTH prevail.

Sex, desire, and the gods
I see you now, you;
you: the builder
of the house.
The stone the builders rejected.
It is chastity from desire.
Whence comes the desire for sex?
What are these energies? This passion
which stirs the sensations
of the body like a whirlwind.
Now I see thee serpent
who dwells in the midst
of the two trees
in the garden.
It is desire: and from whence
the forbidden fruit came.
Chastity; mastery
over the sexual desire
(in or out of the sexual act)
that lasts forever
is...

An Eternal Conflict
Dig not up from the contents
of thine own ground;
for this was Cain's offering:
to dig up from the soils
of ones own mind.
In this, Cain thus found desire to spill blood.
He was seated westward at the left hand
surrounded by ravens and goats.
Be that of Abel instead
and tithe the lower mind;
for this was Abel's offering:
to shepherd and offer
his first of flock.
In this, Abel thus found the bread of life.
He was seated eastward at the right hand
surrounded by doves and sheep.
So be it then ...

No Matter What Happens
There are only two kinds of people:
those who serve a kingdom without, and
those who serve a kingdom within.
No matter what happens
know that you are never alone
and that once you reach deep inside
all will be revealed.
There is a kingdom
that lies within each
and every being; it lies
dormant until the time comes
- that no matter what happens -
the kingdom within
prevails over all else.
Know that you already have
everything you are searching for.
those who serve a kingdom without, and
those who serve a kingdom within.
No matter what happens
know that you are never alone
and that once you reach deep inside
all will be revealed.

Gordon Freeman
From the early days
of the Black Mesa research facility,
even Gordon Freeman
never spoke a word; for
he was apparently mute.
And he did witness
the genesis;
from whence the resonance cascade came.
And he battled and fought;
was often outweighed
but always overcame
until the very end...
...and after waiting for
Half-Life 3 with not a
word from Valve
(until recently)
I imagine
a frustrated Freeman
throw his crowbar
to the floor
and finally say:
"f***ing assholes".

Alone
The answer is simple
but hard to accept;
especially when I know
I am both the problem
and the solution.
The walls of self-preservation
I build today
become the same walls of self-imprisonment
I suffer tomorrow.
How I wish
the world could see
what I see. Not suffer
what I suffer, for I only
suffer myself. But o! how
simple it is!
Both exceedingly exciting
and drearily dreadful
in one worthwhile event.
But then again I rescind;
for alone my nonsense must remain
outweighed by...

Equality
They did build monuments;
as an offering to her majesty
for imparting to man
the stars for signs
[and seasons for times]
that man and woman
(Adam and Eve)
may live in peace
and harmony.
They must be equal
and 'know one another'
to be Abel to live
in peace and harmony.
Very truly I do say:
[lest they suffer]
that man and woman
must be equal.

Islam
Or do they say: "He (Muhammad) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a surah (chapter) like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!"
- [Qur'an 10:37-38] -
A warring Muhammad
and a calm and collected Christ;
one is made victorious with terror
and the other with "truth".
May not only the truth prevail,
for that is truth itself:
It is (as it must be)
ever-present
upon birth,
upon death,
and upon life.
(And I looked and I saw

Light, Enlightenment, and Maya
Infinity is a fractal environment
wherein scale is of no dimension:
the macro and micro "cosm"
are perfectly identical.
No reasonable mathematician
could ever deny this.
There is only one
source of all things;
the undivided white light;
that is, that from which
all else comes.
The white light produces
a seven-key octave/spectrum.
This is the same light
as of the first day
according to God's
'let there be light'
and is a spectrum wherein
Adam's red waters
and Eve's blue...

dance of lamps
I do behold from this body
a Herculean dance of cardinal lamps;
both fixed above in the heavens themselves
and muted below upon the earth.
There is a starry narrative
spelled out [in and by]
the stars of the twelve zodiacal signs.
It is divinely beautiful -
our ancestors did once call it 'All is Atum'; a
narrative etched into the heavens;
and embodied within life on the earth.
It is a pictorial play:
something like Da Vinci's 'the last supper'.
And Jesus did say: ...

Q&A #4: In 'Time'
What is 'time'?
Einstein said it is an illusion
"...albeit a very persistent one."
If 'time' is an illusion, what does it [appear to] contain?
Matter and energy.
What does one thus derive?
Conscious human experience
through 'time'.
What does one derive from that?
A lesson.
What lesson?
A lesson in 'time';
as it is; relative
to the observer.
Who is the observer?
Each observe their own
[in kind] in 'time'.
