Leftovers
Dead poets and such will undoubtedly influence many a thinker’s existence,
But allow them to run it from the grave?
No.
* * * *
Any cosmos is indifferent to its myriad dreams, yours included.
The truth is that only imagination cares, only imagination bothers.
Your existence is a joke, an absurdity, to which the most sober response
Is a great dollop of irony and doubt, especially toward your fictional persona.
* * * *
The Faceless One is the one who looks within
And unequivocally perceives the indivisibility of all creation.
The one who pierces through all illusion, through all space, through all time,
And logically, rationally, without doubt, discerns there is no other.
* * * *
Words can be tethered to many concepts,
So always best to without doubt define them
If you would have your meaning and intent clear.
* * * *
Existence is but an ever-changing dream
That is incessantly tagged with every conceivable notion.
But the ephemeral awareness each and every mind every moment truly is,
Is most definitely, without doubt, exactly the same.
* * * *
There is only one thing left not to doubt,
And in that, the you that never was,
Becomes the you that ever is.
* * * *
The senses are but mortal devices fashioned by evolution
That are but streaming smokescreens to the indelible, indivisible reality.
Mirages imagined by a nature-nurture mind snared in its dreamy fabrication of time.
Only through doubt, only through detachment, will true Self be discerned.
* * * *
To wander as you please, to stop and examine whatever you please,
In whatever way you please, for as long as you please, to whatever end you please,
Is the way of the maverick, the questioner, the skeptic, the cynic, the doubter, the critical thinker.
* * * *
Doubt, skepticism, cynicism, uncertainty, critical thinking,
Naturally evolve in a mind inordinately bent on unlocking its mystery,
A mind resolved on discerning the reality of consciousness emanating from within.
* * * *
What is that which is called god by so many names but an impersonal all and nothing,
An implausible totality so absolute, so timeless, as to be everything and nothing all the while.
An eternal quantum mystery so intrinsic as to be and not be simultaneously in every pointless point.
How is it humankind is not genuinely, beyond doubt, humbled by its relative insignificance?
* * * *
How is it even remotely possible
For anyone to be as asleep and undoubting at the end
As they were in the beginning?
* * * *
In the pure nihilistic mind,
The mind that doubts everything,
The mind that no longer seeks meaning,
The mind that no longer requires purpose,
The mind that no longer acknowledges dogma,
The mind that no longer maintains principles,
The mind that no longer asserts knowledge,
The mind that literally believes nothing,
The first and last freedom reigns.
* * * *
You are the indelible mystery come unto life.
Do not be so arrogant, so narcissistic, that you do not discern
That you are not the only you that is, that has ever been, that will ever be.
The same you abides in every animate and inanimate form that might ever be concocted.
Every part and particle, every chasm between, it is all the same indivisible, singular, unknowable you.
Everything seen, everything heard, everything tasted, everything smelt, everything felt.
Everything created, everything preserved, everything destroyed.
Whether you tread softly, or harshly, or not at all,
Know, without doubt, without disquiet,
That there is not, has never been, will never be, any other.
* * * *
What some call negativity, pessimism, skepticism, doubt, cynicism,
To the rational mind of the critical thinker, is merely the way it is.
* * * *
Doubt.
More doubt.
Even more doubt.
Soundbites
The benefit of great doubt, and the inevitable process of negation, is a free mind.
* * * *
The key ingredient to discerning the ultimate reality is a heady dollop of doubt.
* * * *
Doubt, more doubt, even more doubt.
Breadcrumbs
An aphoristic collage,
A puzzle jigged, a puzzle sawed,
An assorted potpourri of motley thoughts,
A mystic drunkard’s trail of doubt,
An epic, long and winding.
* * * *
You would no doubt have them entertain a different way,
Were it possible for enough to hear what you have to say.
* * * *
Once upon a time, the feminine mystic was unbelievably spellbinding.
Once upon a time, the masculine virility was irrepressible.
But alas, oh well, so it goes, things change.
And the correlation, beyond-any-and-all-doubt palpable.
* * * *
What a wretched statement about this mortal existence
That this mind derives so much pleasure from a cynical stance.
Some sort of Nero-watching-Rome-burn thing, no doubt.
* * * *
Am I absurd beyond all doubt, or simply a jester, a life force willing to lend itself
To exploring, to plumbing the unfathomable depths as deeply, and in such manner,
As the singular, indivisible, indelible aloneness of the given body-mind will allow.
