I am alive: moments
of which I know nothing
and cannot know anything

It's only a split second
after that I realize –
my mind divides it

into myself
into others and objects –
what altogether is not there

when I live, then I am
one with everything
without any

attention and senses
appearing to be involved
It just is and cannot be

any other way, sometimes
with an after-effect –
a Knowing Feeling
Tao (Laozi [604-507])

Monism: there is one being, neutral, no materialism and no idealism
(Baruch Spinoza [1632-1677], Parmenides [born c. 515 vC])
