Death is a Switch


Death must
Be a pragmatic function of evolution;
According to the laws of physics
Given that Earth is an open system
There is no strict need for an organism to die

Perhaps
There are programs encoded in our DNA
That prescribe deterioration toward an eventual breakdown
Because if all animals lived forever
There would be a very great problem:
Tremendous overcrowding

A planet without death
Would see mass extinction
Rather than eternal life

The resources are, of course, finite
And breeding animals with no expiration
Would plow through those limited resources
In just a few generations

All of this implies, naturally
That we have yet to understand the genetic sequence of
Death, and turn it off

Perhaps this is possible

But is it advisable?

Must the soul not transmigrate?

If so, would such avenues not be futile?

Active Information


The assertive self
Inside myself
A gentle will
An active spill

Made possible by
Activity
Directing energy
Into a synergy

So the self true
Is awareness
Going through
A hopeful fairness

It is hard to see
That all else
Is machinery
But it sells

Constrained


I do not doubt there is a will
We are in fact not robots
But, really, it’s an unfree thrill
Choice? I thinketh not

Our thoughts are truly infinitely
Constrained from all directions
One must know this intimately
If savvy of imperfections

However a thought wants to fire
You have mitigating factors
For one thing, genes are on the wire
And then we’ve cultural actors

The evolution of the culture
Of which you are unwitting
May as well be some dull vulture
Sapping all your bidding

You do not choose any of this
No one does, nor one’s genes
Involuntary is what it is
Our lives but puppet scenes

Moreover, none of these aforesaid
Was ever anyone’s plan
Genes and cultures: in your head
Transcend them? No one can

Genes and culture, both of them
Are a dynamic flux
Decoupled from intent, ahem
The whole thing really sucks

Time.  Life can go to shit, but see a larger picture
A frame a cover for the overall structure

Of the place you live.

See the fakeness and the sorrow
Don't worry there will always be a tomorrow

Those in poverty and those in misery
Quite a mystery!

Really not, but the threats are what they have got.

Fear it a bit, but they always run the bullshit.

The Celestial Kingdom


If we had the audacity just to suppose
That higher dimensions flower like a rose
We are treading on ground that’s been treaded before
What all of it equates to, who knows?

The king of science physics has mapped out quite well
Dimensions, multiverses exotic and swell
And inflation and strings and infinities
Anything at all prosaic, no way in Hell

A black hole seemingly combines it all
All the aforesaid on the large and small
And now we’ve seen one! It’s getting intense…
It’s all quite enough to enthrall

But if we can thus posit all these weird big facts
Might we not liberalize with all due tact?
If nonlocal dimensions higher than our own
Exist, why paint the supernatural black?

All one would need do is suggest a few points
Nonlocality, high frequencies the cosmos anoints
Further, the commonsense notion that we do not know
Everything, let’s be honest, we do disappoint

So without getting literal, I just want to say
Seeing things in new lights, there is always a way
The cosmos is easily interesting enough
That perhaps—just perhaps—we don’t go away

The Buddha and the Soul


One of the Buddha’s most important precepts
Is that there is no soul
Indeed, Buddhism gives very little cogent account
Of just what reincarnates

One has to suppose that the possibly reluctant denial
Was made to avoid
A conflict with Gautama’s broadest strokes
When it came to impermanence

All things must fade and pass away
Nothing has permanence
Therefore, the whole notion of a static object
Is obliterated

Well, traditionally, the soul is said to be static
Basically, an unchanging essence
That gives rise to an organism’s contingent characteristics
And is the vehicle which passes through the spheres

But here is where I depart from the Sakyamuni
There is no mandate in Nature or the Heavens
For the soul to be a static entity
Indeed, one ought find it to be fluid and dynamic

The soul must grow, mature, learn, incorporate
The Hindus posit this absolutely
So for the Buddha to declare glibly that it is static
And therefore essentially unreal, is too great a stride

I suspect the Buddha may have had leanings the other way
But that an individual soul did not fit
Into his philosophy of impermanence and annihilation
And perhaps there were other realities he ignored…

The Economy


They call it “making” money
Whence, how does it come?
It isn’t very funny
All want more than some

The whole thing’s rather dumb
At least in terms of function
Billions rather glum
Billionaires show no compunction

Familiar with dysfunction
We all do seem to be
Necessity’s not the goal of production
And don’t nothin’ at all be free

We manufacture not what need we
But what we think we want
And this unto the nth degree
And all our stuff we flaunt

All we ever hear is cant
Let’s abjure, eschew snuffle
Go on a quick little jaunt
Against this greedy shuffle

If only ‘midst the growing bustle
We could just bring ourselves
To engage in a brusque up-rustle
Leave that shit on the shelves

The bell, for us it truly knells
To overhaul our ways
We ought to automate our hells
Streamline the end of days

Bored.

Just bored.

Looking at a surfboard
put me on a bodyboard

A metaphor for my life
dodging drama and limiting strife
no wife

Alimony and living with someone is not my thing
would rather be free and no stupid diamond ring

Parents taught me well what is real and what is fake
a stupid ring

Fuck them
Fuck religion
Fuck what they acted out and still are through a lifetime

Divorced and one died poor as fuck and the other married again and had riches galore
such a bore
but look what I have in store!

If you will be like me and part of the family tree/Mormonism I will give you riches
Fuck off am fine with myself
more to life then wealth

Can take care of myself and is amusing trying to explain
to let go of the blame and shame

Thank you good drugs of the lsd and dmt and mushroom kind
clearing out space like junk files in my mind

Death


Well, they say, it would seem
That it is certainly better
To be or to remain alive
(Death is a bit of a fetter)
After all, life is but a dream
This applies, I think, to most
But indeed, there are those who would thrive!
Being on that other side
Taking their souls out for a drive
Employed as a regular ghost
Many here lack any comforts
Almost all are suffering
What are most leaving behind, then?
It’s really fear that’s buffering
Increasing all our discomforts
Until such time as one’s demise
As Bukowski said, it’s all waiting
It’s all one big distraction
And the dark and the light are creating
And the dead, they do arise

The Present Part II


Our attention is always in the present

But, considered carefully, time must be brought in
The heart beats, the blood flows, the brain processes
The organs function in sync
And this is all in some sort of temporal dimension

These processes do not occur
At precisely the nexus of past and future
But have some extension in time, or necessary duration
The brain-mind-awareness loop has a kind of bandwidth
So in reality
Everything we experience took place
A few milliseconds in the past

Moreover, physicists feel strongly
That time, whatever its illusory properties
Exists as a dimension
Through which it would, in principle, be possible to travel
With sufficient technology

So it would seem
Even though time may not be
A fundamental property of the deeper existence
We nevertheless must be subject to it
At all applicable levels of our being

And if that is the case,
What is the meaning
In the most literal sense
Of the present moment that is timeless?

Perhaps we can attain to it
With advanced meditation, psychedelics, what have you
But inevitably we return to time
Even the Buddha had to die

So in the end, we must take both
Time and the timeless into consideration
Together
As humans

Deterministic


It seems to be taken for granted, that is on it people don’t think
But here the idea is planted, from the spring of the Soul take a drink
That Nature is more or less matter, and bounces around like a ball
Yes, some atoms may scatter, but in this false belief we’re in thrall

If we are just to be robots, well, I leave it to people to choose
It’s something like a death knell, on ages born only to lose
But I’m going to brashly declare, that we are not, in fact, tools
And as I shall show it’s a snare, for the best of well-meaning fools

You see that if we are just autos, with no volition at all
And are we? Indeed it is not so, it’s a tale much too tall
Someone somewhere has to make, such a determination
One must go for logic’s sake, outside the reservation

And that is the point, you understand, outside, outside
Infinity does us anoint, it’s a regress, it’s a free ride
One has to get out of the loop, and if this is done on repeat
One cannot get out of God’s hoop, it’s an impossible feat!

So determinism is in doubt, if it’s an infinite regress
Indeed you have to explain, all of your explanations
An infinite number of times, turtles all the way down
But just in the way of these rimes, perhaps truth and seeing abound?

A Free Nature


All sorts of ideas are in people’s heads
About all the cosmos, the way that things are
And there are all sorts of uncommon threads
Unloading one’s subconscious upon a star
And most of these trends are infrareds:
Hot air, how from truth they are far

Specifically, some feel the world is a script
That all was written before time began
By God, presumably, as he is equipped
And has access to limitless spans
Supernovæ are as if Heaven has ripped
But that is all a part of the plan

Whether Mother or Father, Nature or God
Is responsible for a rote, scripted fate
I tend to ignore this, and submit a mod:
What if Nature is free, and God is just great?
For the beginning we thank the good Lawd
And evolution’s job is to create

A scripted, fated existence is simply not sublime
Degrees of freedom rather show the way
There is, in fact, control—a little of the time
When the force of Mother Nature has no say
But ordinarily, as expressed in this rime
Unbiased happening wins out the day
(And freedom in Nature is the play)

The Quantum Soul


The wavefunction in superposition
That makes up the awareness of one
Does not have a strict position

This object and subject, when up-spun
Is what we mean by soul and its mission
And away from the self it can gun

In this fair treaty of extradition
The soul can leave the body, hon
To return to, or not, its perdition

Appreciative


There are various points of view to take
When it comes to the variables of life
Certainly, it is rough at times
But its essence need not be of strife

And certainly, quite a few of us
Probably have a central view
On just which variable seems
The most more or less true

A certain party, no need to name
Thinks the main point is concentration
This is noble, valiant, sane
A perfectly fine declaration

Too often we distract ourselves
From what’s really going on
When if we only concentrated
The clouds might part at dawn

We’re only always scatterbrained
And not living life to full
If we would only pay attention
That dart might hit the bull

But as to me, my own perspective
I think not the core concentration
For me, taking a different tack
The main thing’s appreciation

Concentrating’s well and good
But it’s not as fundamental
As appreciating all we see
Every detail, elemental

The degree of one’s enjoyment
Of life is directly proportioned
To just how much appreciation
We can attain through absorption

But, naturally, a really nice trick
Would be to combine the two
The Nature we’re given, a gift from the gods
Should e’er be accorded its due

Everyone needs a vacation
way to much stagnation

Am bored waiting for a flight
in time will take flight

Will see fireworks galore!
in Vegas by the shore

Lol.  just a joke
fireworks mean men getting killed by artillary fire
women get to as well, now that we are all men and woman and the constant tire

A national anthem about endless war
always another one across the shore

Yet hail the 4th of July and those fireworks and what they represent
just don't show the men in their prime and lives not well spent

Frontier is a bitch.  Wish I could switch.  Knees to ones body, I am a nobody.

The American dream is over
no four leaf clover
on to Dover
just move on over

Feel sorry for me
this American tree
with the best GNP
yet loses financially endlessly

Globalism. Let us all take hold
of everything that will unfold

Doomsayer you say?
what does my opinion matter anyway?

Edit everything and control speech
writing and the ability to breach

The false narrative that so many want to believe
of America, yet it is a sieve

To the global elite and those of it
they have a great plan for us and not part of it

So on with the fear and the daily grind
inflation and all else starting to unwind

should end this poem on a positive note
but will end it with a quote

IT IS A BIG FUCKING CLUB AND YOU AND I ARE NOT IN IT!

I accept this.  Find it amusing actually.

Consciousness Without an Object


Consciousness without an object
Seems to be the object for many seekers
Ironically and impossibly

Naturally, the initiate, psychonaut or adept
Would, at this, display either laughter or scorn

Indeed, it is said to be the ultimate Samadhi
This state being ultimate in itself
The highest degree

Continually, there are contents of our awareness;
Emptying these contents, we may find ourselves

But the Eightfold Path has many twists and turns
What this amounts to
Is that there is never really an end to the story

But once we have purged everything
But the deepest, purest level of our multiform
Awareness
And once we are entirely free from distraction
Or impulse
Pure consciousness without an object is a possibility

The Magus has crossed the abyss
To the new aeon
Once and forever consumed by the fire
Of this sacred awareness

It is extraordinarily unfortunate
That such treasure is denied
The masses of uninitiated
Who can never even dream

Of its possibility

Death Anguish


Clearly the most central obsession
Of man is that of his death
Any other topic is a digression
And to most a waste of his breath
Death anxiety is ferocious
The corresponding mind-state, atrocious

The yang to this yen carries insight
Perhaps we would be well served
To reconnoiter joining the light
From one life to others we swerve
We must develop a strength
That shall serve us in its full length

We must dive into the mystery
Of passing between states of being
This supersedes simple history
And from plain mental anguish is freeing
This passing is our true ontology
Thus we must amend standard psychology

The Devil’s Rejoice


From Pazuzu to Pithius
Baal to Baphomet
There’s no shortage of evil
In this stupid Earthly set

Things change for the worse
That’s all they seem to do
The tortures of the damned
The innocent put to the screw

A surplus of deceit
And foul persecution
Insane chaos all about
Ubiquitous executions

The number 666
Is the number of a man
Following the Beast
Is a successful Satan
