What aliveness is 12/12/14


We cannot name what is alive in its aliveness.
We can only name its symbology and speak
to a coded memory from within ourselves
as if it were a rememberance, in passing.
This is, as observation would have it,
the slowest way to becoming
what is at the source of it                                       
as its aliveness presence.
Self-consciousness then becomes
the shadow drug for awareness of this kind.
Self-consciousness asks from us and assumes of us
a need to take excess cognitive baggage along.
And by excess bagged I mean a mental stayed-ness
to our sense of being as so self familiar,
that there is an experience style within us
seeking comparatives only,
as something that is called up
but does not necessarily call out authentically
our spirit, beyond the boundaries
of seated familiar anecdotal ease.
Experience by this means, is so results' oriented.
And we, nonchalantly accept it, as in return.
For us, doing believing in these instances,
is a human form of our mind’s false advertising.
A sense of short-depth memory,
not short term memory,
takes hold of our sensing
and by the intricate workings
of anticipation and expectation weaving together,
our minds determines what aliveness is
as to what is happening and renders it
into a rendition or phenomenological set
of poignant moments freeze framed
rather than the true streaming of spirit
pouring through the otherwise veil of self.
This aliveness lives in our interior world,
deep within us,
though previously un-sensed and uncensored.
When it comes forth and by whatever means,
surrender to it and through it.
Give up the ghost of self as projected
and conduit to it all.
We are not here for living for the story
but for being the stream,
that stream of being,
the fountaining of spirit,
the pouring of this self-love, then shared.
So when this aliveness is happening
play into it fully,
as an ‘outing of spirit’, that matters . . .
