Poem Artwork

To study all the ways

Of achieving happiness

Means to study
 
One's selfishness;
 
To study one's selfishness
 
Is to forget the ego.
 
To forget the ego
 
Is to be enlightened
 
Thru opening Dharma's eye;
 
To be enlightened
 
Through the Dharma's eye

Is to unlock one's bodily locks,

Emancipate one's mind
 
And then of that of others
 
Who are like the stars
 
That blink in many nearby.
 

No trace of the shooting star
 
Is left behind in the past and
 
In the future, and that kind
 
Of traceless illumination

Spreads out without cease,

Laughing at locksmiths.

I have always hated the left and right mentality, I think for myself , dont like identifying with one particular group, how can all agree on every point if we are individuals. I will never go lock in step with any group. You can't even have freedom to say what you believe anymore without being a target of some group who doesn't like what you say.
There are many obvious view points on here in our writings, but we all appreciate each other even if we totally disagree on some things. I honestly think we could all get together, i know impossible, and would have a grand ole time!!

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
