Acting As Humans

Acting As Humans.jpg
(7 July 2018)
What are we doing ?

We do what humans do,
we find out what is true,
we gather what we can,
knowledge, memories and
predictions from the wise,
many, many supplies.

And ?
What are we doing ?

We do what humans do,
we act without a clue
of how to use all this
to resolve our crisis
we constantly predict
the future will inflict.

And ?
What are we doing ?

We do what humans do,
we plan for just a few
days, months, years ahead,
while focusing instead
on the present we see
as the only guarantee.

And ?
What are we doing ?

We do what humans do,
we choose what to pursue,
on the behalf of need,
or of a higher creed,
or caring for a soul,
or being as a whole.

And ?
What are we doing ?

We do what humans do,
we use a narrow view
and build what we don't see
or know that it could be
a new whole beyond our
comprehension power.

And ?
What are we doing ?

We do what humans do,
we are going into
deeper and deeper loops
and various new groups
of high complexity
and peak perplexity.

And ?
What else could we do,
if not what humans do ?



Hidden Fire

Hidden Fire
(6 July 2018)
In the Realm of Shadows,
there is Smoke.
It is caused by Fire,
	Flames, many of them,
the Flames from which
	Light and Shadows stem.

Where Shadows are born,
there, the Watcher
watches the Light
	and watches the Shadows,
observing the play
	of Light and Shadows.

Where Shadows emerge,
now, a Smoke
is strong and is vast
	and grows in might,
beginning to block
	the Watcher's sight.

		In the Realm of Shadows,
		now, a Scream:
		Where are you,
			Hidden Fire ?
		My urge to find you
			is getting dire !

		Where Shadows are born,
		there, the Watcher:
		How else the Shadows
			could acquire
		such strength, if not for you,
			Hidden Fire ?

		Where Shadows emerge,
		now, the Scream:
		These are no Shadows !
			It does transpire.
		It's but your Smoke,
			you bastard Fire !

In the Realm of Shadows,
there are Flames.
They rise and shine and die, 
	instantly,
bringing Light and Shadows, 
	constantly.

Where Shadows bring Light,
there is always Smoke,
mostly weak, 
	of little or no concern.
But it will be, 
	as long as Fire will burn.

Where Shadows stir Wind,
the Watcher decides
which Shadows to block
	and which to allow,
controlling the story
	of why, what, how.

		In the Realm of Shadows,
		the Scream is loud:
		The Realm collapses !
			Where are you Fire ?
		To find what's hidden,
			what would require ?

		Where Shadows bring Light,
		now, it is Darkness.
		You bastard Fire,
			it's all but your fault !
		Don't you see Light
			coming to a halt ?

		Where Shadows stir Wind,
		a desperate Scream:
		Am I forced
			to destroy all motion
		and sink the Realm
			into deep Ocean ?

In the Realm of Shadows,
a Hidden Fire
is hidden from Watcher,
	at first,
until the Smoke is born
	and dispersed.

Where Shadows are born,
the Realm is fragile.
It is based on Shadows,
	Light and Flames
and strongly on what
	the Watcher proclaims.

Where Shadows emerge,
the Scream is drama.
For Watcher, the Realm 
	is but everything,
a kingdom of which
	the witness is king.

		In the Realm of Shadows,
		the Light still flows.
		I will never 
			stop searching for you !
		Your own existence
			is my main clue.

		Where Shadows are born,
		there, the Wind blows.
		And I will find you,
			you bastard Fire !
		I know the hidden
			is but a liar !

		Where Shadows emerge,
		a final Scream:
		A Hidden Fire,
			a Fire like all others !
		This Realm I watch
			is full of wonders !

In the Realm of Shadows,
there is always Wind
whenever is Smoke,
	together turning
into new Shadows
	and more Flames burning.

Where Shadows bring Light,
Light brings Shadows,
an endless process,
	hidden from view,
the cause to which
	confusion is due.

Where Shadows stir Wind,
Shadows are endless.
They build the Realm 
	as they unfold,
building themselves,
	as new from old.

In the Realm of Shadows,
they are all heroes:
	Shadows			true knowledge
	Smoke	 			false knowledge mistaken as true
	Light				learning and creation of knowledge
	Fire					human thinking
	Flames				human thoughts
	Hidden Fire			false thinking
	Watcher 			inner perception and narrative
	Scream				inner monologue
	Wind				insight into the false
	Darkness 			mental confusion
	Ocean	 			blank mind and tranquility
	Realm of Shadows 	human mind
acting as mirrors,
outside the Realm of Shadows.

Towards What

nature-3100849_960_720
(13 June 2018)
To discover:
	There the object has to be
	for the observer to see.
	As the latter comes around,
	the observed will soon be found.

To create:
	The observer has the zeal
	to have that which is not real.
	Once the process is complete,
	the observed becomes concrete.

To emerge:
	The observer and observed
	must be present, unconfirmed.
	When the latter does appear,
	their relationship is clear.

So the question can become:
How does the perception come ?
What is real, always there,
observing fully aware ?
	What is the observer ?

Or to ask the other way:
What is coming into play ?
What can come into existence,
from nothingness to consistence ?
	What is the observed ?

What is real...
What exists...
	If united as a whole,
	unfolding without control
	seems to be.

Towards what ?

Void of Self

hourglass-620397_960_720

Perception is stuck...
	out of time.

	There is nothing but void
	as the Self gets destroyed,
	with no escape to find
	in the silence of mind.
	It has to die.

	In destruction or change
	the Self must engage,
	by choosing which part
	it needs to discard.
	It has to change.

Perception rises...
	inside time.

The void is filled again,
the Self is whole again,
new memes emerge again,
the life feels good again,
again and again.
And again.



Uncertain Known

We shall be right.

	Alone...
		we follow the known,
		onto a different path,
		towards a possible death.

	Fear...
		we will always feel,
		while the truth is tested,
		our lives seem wasted.

	Uncertain...
		will remain our burden,
		as we cannot distinguish
		which knowledge to relinquish.

	Revolution...
		is our contribution,
		should the known be spread
		into the future ahead.

We shall be right.



Time for Nothing

half-dome-918596_960_720
(18 May 2018)
We need time for Nothing,
not for sleep, not for relaxing,
	but just nothing.

We need time for Empty,
not to lack, but to have plenty
	of ideas.

We need time for Void,
not for that which is destroyed,
	but for place to fill.

We need time for Create,
not the old production state,
	but pure creation.

We need time for Action,
not waiting for a distraction,
	but standing still.

We need time for Feel,
not for feelings, but the real
	actual life.

We need time for Time,
not the rush, but the sublime
	moment to moment.

We need nothing.



The Right Importance

balance-3356547_960_720
(18 May 2018)
We, the world, 
shall learn to understand...

	How do we decide our actions ?
	Do we count on knowledge fractions
	built from different small abstractions
	of the world we see around,
	boring as the dust on ground,
	or magical, deep, profound ?

We shall learn to observe...

	Why do we exaggerate,
	spending time to elaborate
	grand stories to fascinate
	those with whom we collaborate ?
	Can this be the only way
	to bring energy into play ?

We shall learn to think...

	If we know what importance is,
	then why do we constantly miss
	to assign importance to this ?
	How many problems are there
	due to what value we declare
	to them, without being aware ?

We shall learn to transform...

	Is that which we try to tame,
	the importance, always the same ?
	Or is it changing, frame by frame,
	as evolution plays its game ?
	Are we ready to adjust
	and give value to a new must ?

We shall learn the right importance.



Teach

(17 May 2018)
I shall teach you all I know.
I shall help you even more.
You shall learn about this world,
even more than you have heard.
And I won't ask in exchange
but to show me what you know,
nothing more.
I will teach you how to fly.
You must show me how do die.
I will show you all on earth.
You must teach me the rebirth.
