I died that already
Be a good student...
I died that already.
Be an athlete...
I died that already.
Be a tutor/professor/educator...
I died that already.
Be an operations manager...
I died that already.
When I chose there was nothing to be,
I achieved immortality.

Light Years
The farthest back I can remember, there were already forms…forms, faces, locations. I remember seeing them and watching them like I was a viewer with no body of my own. It all felt familiar but mostly random. The people and the places didn’t seem to match and would often switch without reason. I remember feeling very strong connections to many of the images I saw, but I cannot refine a memory to a particular emotional reaction to a particular scenario.
I have no way to measure how long things went on like that, but, eventually, the forms and faces and...

LOOK FROM WITHIN
From the beginning of your life there you will always have obstacles, in your daily routine of what is life, just to survive through the process of the traumatic, trails and tribulations that sometimes comes in waves. THAT will be way over your head, till you feel like your drowning in the seas of DEATH 🤔 JUST imagine how you felt in the mist, which the illusions seems to be which they seem so real to life. But yet there seems to be no escape🤔 But did you know that you, have the power to manifest your thoughts, 🤔 and create a wonderful and blessed place to escape,...

Back zen
Life became
so
simple back then
The day after
several
several days before
simplified
Life felt
so
so complicated
after (Your)
the memorial service
I lost direction
lost my determination
lost my zeal ...
my will
In losing
Complication
shared a bed
with Simplicity
And I in this
hell-raising
hell-bent existence
I heard you
You tugged me
and I later found
zen...
I am on the journey
and will see You soon
enough………

Shunyata
in shunyata
all our imaginary
worlds
all our beliefs
views
religions
politics
cultures
all are seen
as blinding dust
in shunyata...
everything is dying
and being reborn
right before
your eyes
and
there is nothing
to attain
everything
is within you
from the vey
beginning
all our imaginary
worlds
all our beliefs
views
religions
politics

everything is dying
and being reborn

Zen Master
The lessonless teacher has
nothing
to teach,
but only encourages there is
nothing
to reach.

beyond words
the great way
is not difficult
like the sound
of one hand clapping
the void
is alive with the silence
of the one mind
just cease thinking
and see the truth
beneath your feet
the freedom
will strike like thunder
and lightning
a simple flash!

nihilism, pessimism and buddhism
The nihilists are correct,
the universe is too big to care about you, individually,
and might become an anaconda that will eat you and your entire family,
or a world-killer meteor that could destroy the whole of the earth and all of its gods.
The pessimists are correct,
society is a cycle of less and more harsh oppression,
and authority will use any reason, reasoning, non-reasoning and sophistry to maintain itself.
However, after all this,
we are here anyway,
so working together to alleviate suffering and promote joy is...

To Zen and back
I came back to tell you
life is much easier without words,
without the impulse to turn everything into language,
limiting what things can be
and what you can feel.
