The very entity of the mind, its nature of mere luminosity and knowing, is not polluted by defilements; they do not abide in the entity of the mind. Even when we generate afflictive emotions, the very entity or nature of the mind is still mere luminosity and knowing, and because of this we are able to remove the afflictive emotions. If you agitate the water in a pond, it becomes cloudy with mud; yet the very nature of the water itself is not dirty. When you allow it to become still again, the mud will settle leaving the water pure.
you, soft and only you, lost and lonely you, strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans twisting in the water you’re just like a dream you’re just like a dream

The first offering is that of pure drinking water. It is offered with the thought that whatever benefit one accumulates may, for the present, bring about the annihilation of suffering through thirst among beings. Especially beings in realms such as the pretas, or hungry ghosts, may receive relief from the suffering of thirst. The offering is also made so that ultimately all beings may be permeated by loving kindness and compassion.
this blue eye perceives all things conjoined the past, the future and the present everything flows and all is connected this eye is not merely seen reality it is touching the truth
there’s nothing to fear

Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end.
nobody can tell ya;
there’s only one song worth singin’,
they may try and sell ya,
’cause it hangs them up to see someone like you.
but you’ve gotta make your own music
sing your own special song, make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.
Memorize my poem, Samadhi, and repeat it daily. It will help to awaken within you that lost memory of what you are in reality: ‘Try to feel, when walking out of doors, that everything around you is part of your own expanded awareness’.
now i could see the sun rise and set on you
i’ve seen the sun rise and set on you
it set on you
you say you’re looking for something to make you feel anew
you don’t believe in God well whiskey will do yes, whiskey will do
Having lots of money while not having inner peace is like dying of thirst while bathing in the ocean.
so maybe i’ll see you there
we can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
so go downtown, things’ll be great when you’re
downtown, don’t wait a minute for
downtown, everything’s waiting for you
Water condensed becomes ice, and so invisible Spirit can be frozen into form by my devotion’s frost. If only you could see the beautiful eyes of the Mother that I beheld last night. My heart is filled with joy eternal. The little cup of my heart cannot hold the joy and the love that I beheld in those eyes — looking at me, sometimes smiling.
ramblin’ rose, ramblin’ rose
why you ramble, no one knows
wild and wind-blown, that’s how you’ve grown
who can cling to a ramblin’ rose?
The worldly winds can teach us about the texture of life. They can reveal its heights and depths. They can show us ourselves at our noblest and our most petty. They can draw from us new qualities and dimensions of being.
and i’ve got such a long way to go
such a long way to go
to make it to the border of Mexico
so i’ll ride like the wind, ride like the wind gonna ride the wind
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
baby blue, oh, baby blue
come here, i’m gonna smear another color over you
get out of bed, you little sleepy head
your black and white needs a little bit of red
