Present

Head dominated identity
In your head
The head dominates

Habits can oppress
Robotic, consistent determinism can trap
False sense of control

Judgment of apparent self
Is habituated by judgment of apparent other

Suffering is universal
Because of universal addiction to reality
Addictive thoughts distract

Disaggregate external noise
Amplify the internal, local
A foot in both leads to weak concentration

Let your guard down
Discover contours
Open up narrow awareness
Unclench the sensational blinders
Take the cleansing breath

Deepen the refuge
Solidify the inner sanctum

Pleasure and pain
Pleasant and unpleasant
Clarity and delusion
Waves and layers

Love
Is connection
Is energy flow
Is change

There’s only energy exchange
Animate with awareness
Feel the life force

Break the shackles
Of expectations and perceptions
From self, others, others toward self
Redefine your identity
So they don’t matter

Shed
Shoulds
Supposed tos
Compared tos
Need tos

Success is not promised
I am enough

No reservation
In iron chain of causality
For doubt
Victimhood
Ego
(Primitive)

Complement causality
With curiosity
Virtue
Wonder
(Refined)

Present
Isn't adversarial
Nor an obstacle
Embrace it as
Opportune
Abundant
Inevitable

Rewire
Desire for control
To desire for liberation

Transform the present
With attention
Into perpetual heaven
Or perpetually experience hell

Every ending is a beginning
Evolve from tolerance to embrace
Enjoy the process
That’s all there is
