"Paradox

You will never achieve spiritual enlightenment.
The you that you think of as you is not you.
The you that thinks of you as you is not you.
There is no you, so who wishes to become enlightened?
Who is not enlightened?
Who will become enlightened?
Who will be enlightened?

Enlightenment is your destiny more certain than sunrise.
You cannot fail to achieve enlightenment.
Were you told otherwise?
Irresistible forces compel you. The universe insists.
It is not within your power to fail.

There is no path to enlightenment:
It lies in all directions at all times.
On the journey to enlightenment, you create and
destroy your own path with every step.
No one can follow another's path.
No one can step off the path.
No one can lead another.
No one can turn back.
No one can stop.

Enlightenment is closer than your skin,
more immediate than your next breath,
forever beyond your reach.

It need not be sought because it cannot be found.
It cannot be found because it cannot be lost.
It cannot be lost because it is
not other than that which seeks.

The paradox is that there is no paradox.
Is that not the damnedest thing?"

thought I share of my favorite poems. What does mean in your dreams when haight and lora are selling to crap holes so you go there and checked them out and they really small not bad but small. Funny I think the one that was more haight was the worst since it had a bed built into kicken cabnets. that was the bedroom. crazy huh. Lora was pushing the other one and it was small but perfect size jsut for me. it was cheap and also close to the city which also means close to her but not close to work so I had to turn it down.

Also in my dream I watched baseball and Bob shram and Cindy Jo got married. atleast it looked like they did.

It was a fairly lucid dream which was nice too.

Enlightenment is already within each of us. The end of the journey is realizing that.
