Does reality even exist? * 5/1/12

Experience is us,

but beside ourselves.

We are both ourselves

and beside ourselves.

Our method called experience

is beside ourselves.

We make up

this mental equivalency

of ourselves as ourselves.

We named it self-consciousness.

It floats our souls

based on entitlement.

We have no other affirmation

in the universe

but our agreement to agree

in the insularity

of our species self-confirmation.

We are fascinated

with what we call, it.

We are captivated by all of it.

We have every it

as a separate recognizable it,

even though

we fundamentally know,

everything is connected and one.

Well, actually

upon closer inspection,

there is no it!

Nothing is separate

and there is no something

unless we look for it

to be there that way.

But this is so

by our experiential method.

We claim our consciousness

is indisputable

and so we parade

name dropping onward.

Experience as our primary method

is actually a form of oneness denial

by its very nature of function.

We pride our senses

into recognition prisons

where our senses work for results

rather than immersion.

We gave up sentience for sanity.

We commit experience

to an affect we call memory.

We are then

preoccupied in the present

with methods for the past

and orientations to the future

of our experiential consciousness.

Therefore our now is actually filled

with a vacated presence,

that is too preoccupied

and momentously, habitually so.

Now does occur

but then, we pre-fill it

instead of live it alive.

Our reality is a gloss

refining towards a sheen

as experience is the rag we use

to keep up these appearances.

Our prison is the skill

of determined observation.

We use it to keep our reality going.

But our reality

is a perceptual persuasion

and fundamental

to our isolation principles.

Without this collusion

and its constant upkeep,

a oneness of consciousness,

quite different from what we have

might arise.

We all experience fractal views,

slight slivers of aha’s

of this consciousness,

but not justified enough

to abandon

how we otherwise hold it.

For this view is seen

as only a glance in passing,

a phenomenon of spectatorship

at its best.

Yet if enough people

see enough glances

acknowledged in passing,

then a firestorm

of repressed awareness might ignite

and arise from a deeper within

than the blatancy

of current experience

can counter or interpret.

And we may transcend

rather than interpret.

We may immerse

rather than embrace.

We may channel

rather then manage.

We may manifest

rather than project.

We may abandon

these self-limiting perspectives

for the broadcast

of a oneness coming through
as in all of us

as of the one . . .
