Trails

follow different trails to their end
and discover they all end
in the same place;
is that really so unusual?

people are apt to believe
that varying directions
must lead to varying destinations
but i am not referring to train rides
or a weekend drive,
if u wish to discover the source of all things
refuse to dwell on the periphery
follow the most immediate trails
sight and sound,
and discover they both lead to the brain as
the real organ of sense
but that is not the desired destination
as the brain is simply a creation
not an end in itself,
there is more

it follows that if indeed a single event
or a single source
-- absurdly referred to as God
by the ignorant and lazy --
produces all things then that source
must be traceable by reversing the usual process
of pluralistic distractions and the tendency
of the mind to flow out into plurality
rather than in to singularity

with dogged determination pursue the goal
and do not cease until the source of all things
is encountered

sacrilege, the religionists say,
apprehending God is not done by mere mortals
the decision rests in God’s mercy or grace

Crap! which omnipresent, omniscient God
plays hide and seek? Of course only the false Gods
created by men to enslave and weaken humanity,
as God is always imminent in its creation
what need does an all-powerful God have of words
or mortal helpers, is not God omnipotent?

Any clown today that professes s/he speaks for God
or that s/he has authority from God
is a LIAR or deluded,
the world is not short of fools

however, a 'book’ does exist
that contains all knowledge of God
and therefore all things,
that book is the Silence
borne of unrelenting focus and
the exclusion of all thought --
it is unwavering consciousness!
is infinity wanting or troubled
that it must ruminate?
infinity is timeless, instantaneous,
immeasurable?

existence is continuum
without past or future,
the process of continuity
only occurs in the present,
the location of reality

the human mind has been thoroughly
corrupted by culture and culture only exists
in the past -- what need
of custom or culture
does infinity have?

so if u would know the source
of all things follow any one thing
back to its source,
as the source of all things
is ONE
