We speak
Of the small self
And the large Self..
With attention to the
Capitalization of Self..

However..the Truth
For our grasping is:
There is only one Self
Capitalized or not..

We refer to our Self when
We use our most
Intimate name:
Which is "I"..

Small self is "I" which
Seems clouded with the
Transitory and colorful
Things of our day..

Also this: ..each entity
Of creation..deer..frogs
Trees..share in identifying
As this Wondrous Self...!!

Conditioning
Contains the parameters
Of our illusory self..
Our so-called history is
A history embedded in
A belief of separation
Settled..unquestioned..
Opportunities for resisting
Arise constantly in this
Assumed world..
Bringing our suffering
As wake-up calls
To look elsewhere for
An Already Identity...

This is the conclusion
Of a technical pursuit
A scientific view of
The nature of our Self..

Brain as filter
Connecting us to
The infinite..
Yet we observe that
In this view
The brain remains
An object as your
Fingernail or front door..

So it seems
We await a dawning
Which is the knowing of
Our brains as appearances
Of the infinite
Among many appearances
In our on-going dream...

Darkness approaches
Settling a blackness
As light fades..
Forms melt away
In pervasive darkness..

Darkness in midpassage..

Darkness is turning
On an inward path
On which darkness melts
Dropping disguises which
Conceal the light...

Transparent~~~
Light bending..
Forming ourselves and
Potentially any and all..
A pervading light
Varying only by form..

We look for the ******
Without success and may
Conclude the ****** and
The bent are One
The One we are..

This Light-bending show
This Happening now...
