"Finger and Moon"
040518
...
ethereal your finger traced the outline of the moon
and i froze in adoration of your frailty
your incandescent behavior and frugal walk

tonight you fed my angst and uptight shivers
by sighing at the mournful sight of loneliness
and forgiving the unsurrendered thoughts

you held my hand in the deceptive twilight
covered my eyes with a very dampened haze
and I liked it, and I still do, want you

reaching out blatantly to discover a truth
the light of the moon scorched your soul
burned right through your finger and hope

so seek no longer and paint a real picture
it's too late to lose a battle of disception
trace no more, illuminate your own heavens

* Finger, Moon & Conditioned_Minds
***
A Link to the Shurangama Sutra

'The Buddha told them that they listened to the Dharma with conditioned minds, so the Dharma was also conditioned, and accordingly they could not understand the true dharma. He said: "This is similar to a person pointing his finger at the moon to show it to someone else. Guided by the finger, the other person should see the moon. If he looks at the finger instead and mistakes it for the moon, he loses not only the moon but the finger also. Why? Because he mistakes the pointing finger for the bright moon."

A person who does this not only loses the vision of the moon, but he also loses the finger as well. The finger was supposed to be a guide to help point out the moon, but because you have mistaken the finger for the moon itself, the purpose of the finger is lost. You also lose the light, for when you mistake the finger for the moon you see light, but do not understand where it comes from.

dosquatch Have I been given the finger, been mooned, or both?

KX, are you trying to lead us out of the darkness by way of negative example? Many of us have been pointing out the moon to you (i.e., reel it in a little), yet you continue to attack the finger. Why?

Innumerable, or unquantifiable. What any one of us has written is the cumulative effort of every author who has influenced us, and then every author who has influenced them, so forth back to the Beginning.

dosquatch More to the point, I doubt your enlightenment. your preoccupation with the goings-on in the middle east are evidence to the contrary.

A true understanding of the oneness of existance means that you understand and accept

1) All has a perceived beginning
2) All has a perceived end
3) Both are required and inevitable
4) Both are illusions; the continuity of being extends in perpetuity in both temporal directions to the Beginning and End of All, and beyond
5) Attempts to change this are futile and are not conducive to enlightenment

Life and Death are entwined, each requiring the other. This is the law of existance, be the subject man, beast, planet, solar system, or galaxy.

The river kills the mountain. The lion kills the zebra. Man kills man. Eventually, the sun will eat the Earth. Eventually, the universe will eat itself. It must be so.

What is happening in the middle east is happening because it must be so, and can be no other way. Fighting this is not conducive to enlightenment.
