Conceptuality is a tricky
thing to grasp given the
grasping and the alleged
grasper are also concepts,
cascading endlessly down
from any given starting
point to wherever you
think to take it.

Any seemingly implied
recommendation to follow
links and imagine that
the author considers the
content found there to be
anything in particular is
surely something purely
confined to your mind.
Ramana Maharshi
I could explain how I
came to be fond of some
of the content associated
with these links, but who
cares? If it resonates
with you, that's cool.
Vasistha's Yoga
It hit me fast and in the
mentally knee-buckling way
important realizations tend
to around the craps table.
Namely, these nutcases
surrounding this nutcase,
all seemingly weird and
foreign to each other,
are exactly only the
stuff of reflection.
Ashtavakra Gita

Seeing the ends and the spectrum

It's not that apparently acting from an
individual free-willed self entity is
wrong. It's that there is an inescapable
range of implications to that concept.
Distance, separation, loneliness are
implied, and with them other flip side
phenomena like fear, jealousy, and all
the rest. Every emperor must have its
subjects.

It's pretty simple. That role can be
played, but only to the hilt.

The question is, is playing that role
necessary? Why not rest in the peace of
infinite potential than in the bondage
of one possibility?

Archives seem pretentious to me, but I'll try a form thereof
below, just letting this page swell. I need these reminders,
you see, and it's handy to have them in one place.

It's not really what I
want to do, but those
still attached to the
notion of their indivi-
duality as thing in
itself might be dis-
appointed if this site
suddenly became so
radical as to no longer
present the likes of
the gdbeatles, or more
personal works such as
jethrick's greatest hits or
miscellaneous sounds.
So, such will persist for
a while, until the burden
of the hypocrisy becomes
too great, or the alleged
author finally fully real-
izes just how ridiculous
such concerns with respect
to the representational
plane truly are.
I understand how people
want to keep pushing the
software envelope. But as
for me, except for
whatever is necessary to
handle the occasional
video or music link, I'm
fine with little more
than a bash shell, gnu
screen, the vi editor,
and the elinks text
browser. The "little
more" would be the
obvious like unix basics,
telnet, ftp, wget, and
lua. Perl is nice, but is
generally vast overkill
compared to lua.

Just who do you think you
are?

Thoughts are about.

What "you" is there other than
thoughts about "you"?

Can these be said to be yours -
i.e. the possession of "you" -
when "you" are nothing but
thoughts about "you"?"

It would seem that the
presence of thoughts about
a you is all you are.

Ooops!
    

On the inside looking out
once again

Conceptuality seemingly
generates an "about" world, a
description, a story, which
itself is merely a shadow, a
reflection. This makes sense
because from another point of
view it is reflection.

Part of the story is the
observer of it, which is also
placed in the description.

But then it's said to be more
than a shadow, reflection,
etc. And the saying so makes
it so.

Such is the power of this
which we are!
    

Unhide and go unseek

The answer all along has been
that seeking the answer
implies a seeking entity that
is without the answer, so that
such seeking is non-different
from absence of the answer,
and thus is the answer the
absence of seeking.

As the kingdom of heaven is
within, the kingdom of hell,
aka the world, is without - in
every sense of the word.
