2 a m, my mind
still as the

The magical 7!

1st 7 - I am the center of the world. The world exists only for me

2nd 7 - WHY WHY WHY? I am the explorer.

3rd 7 - Girls Girls Girls!

4th 7 - POWER AMBITION & THE HIGH LIFE! The world is my oyster.

5th 7 - Comfort Security

6th 7 - Contentment

7th 7 - ambitions, did they even matter?

8th 7 - The self, Withdrawal

9th 7 - Getting Ready

10th 7 - Time to go.

Life cycles through 7s

I broke a mirror with a brush

of my hand and

you came over to sweep up the broken pieces.

I did not know you then but

soon we came

never to part.

It was 7 years later when I knew

what it meant.

2 CORINTHIANS 12:7-11 --- Oh the world of Dualities! What do we not know?

7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

When you meditate on emptiness. Then emptiness becomes your reality.

But is that the truth?

Sadly, no.

If you are asleep and hungry, you will dream of food. Your mind is at work, fooling your body, for your body needed the rest. Did you really eat your fill?

If you think of something, even emptiness, that would become your maya.

What then, is true reality?

"Listen", the dying swan of an eastern philosopher said, and his disciples heard the scratching of 2 squirrels on the rooftop.

"Listen".

Zen zen za Zen!

The way is in the doing never the thinking.

How does one know he is alert and awake? He is the one without thought.

As long as one thinks that one is thinking a thought, then one is not living in the present, but one is thinking too much about the self.

What is sound? You are the center of sound without which sound does not exist!


Zen. Zen . Za Zen!
