SEEKER OF TRUTH

A story unfolds every moment in time, if you stop your mind

tourists look like ghosts whisping past my easy chair, in my underwear

Who wants sticky rice? You can eat with one chopstick Just give it a twirl

In order to know the center, to be in the center and find a balance, you must know the extremes and you must experience them, to truly know them, otherwise finding a balance is only a theory that we read about. It takes 48.4 years to find a balance, so have some fun, don't take it all so seriously, and keep questioning yourself and your motives (ego) and maybe you can knock a few years off and find peace by 45.

don't puddle around, be concise and to the point, least you miss your mark

ecstatic stillness from my crazy, screaming wife but I'm not married?

Relax your upper body-float, don't force the movements. Drop your awareness to your center and you won't loose your balance so much.

I'm riding the aauuummm.. quickly to nowhere, just passed my thoughts, on the way

brightening the twilight, inner light of not knowing, making clear the way.

I was going to leave this alone, but I feel like it's a disservice to my fellows if I do. Anything that takes you away from the true essence of being (your natural state) is farther away from OK, then we are from the Sun. Do what you will, but don't try to convince others that it's right, good or even acceptable. There may be young kids reading this. If you are truely honest with yourself, then you know the truth, so why even bother trying to convince yourselves otherwise. If you are not here for some sort of spiritual growth or understanding, then why are you here? If you weren't born with a pill or a shroom in your hand, then you don't need it to experience Tao/life and it can do nothing, but divert you from the path. Being in denial is already evidence of this.

You could be right, I guess time will tell.

There is no way to convince anyone, until they have experienced it themselves. Like I said, personal experience brought me to the realization that mind altering substance was used to escape reality, not experience it, all of it, good, bad, sad etc.. Once I learned to just feel it, all of it, and know that it wasn't gong to eat me, then I could sit back and enjoy the show. There is a lot more to it that just that, but if you but move in the direction of trying to understand what I'm saying, then more will be revealed to you. Part of what you experience now has to do with your age and only time can change that, unless you are wise enough to learn from other peoples mistakes.

Speaking from personal experience, everything that happens "realizations" under the influence of mind altering substance is false, in regards to spiritual development. I used to deny that, but it was only because I couldn't quiet my mind enough to reach a state of heightened awareness. Learn to quiet your mind, it's free, non addicting and you can't go to jail for it.

stillness it ponders searching for itself, it seems, or lost in a dream?

You might try loosing your mind, in order to come to your senses. Your ego is your is your biggest hurdle.

confront life again with the eyes of a new born see with untaught eyes

gonna know nothing, soon, just one more think, and then, gonna know nothing.

I rarely crave anything, other than maybe chocolate, every now and then. Food is really only sustenance to me and I rarely care what it is as long as it's somewhat healthy. I guess it comes down to whether you live to eat or eat to live. The former may be indication of some other problems in your life.

or just lay there limp let the Tao breathe within you let the world go by
