In our enculturated

forced dreamstate

formulated ideas of good and bad

co-arising

needing each other

for their very existence

a realm of duality

we are forced

into a maladaptive drama

not realizing we are

simply actors and actresses

most of us

within this dreamstate system

are forced into being workers

forced indentured slavery

where the rich get richer

and most become poorer and poorer

where we are tearing apart the earth

to keep the system of sorrow going

and thereby becoming a cancer

for by destroying the host, we destroy ourselves

we are living in

a sick, violent, destructive system

a dreamstate that is nothing but a sorrowful delusion

we play this dream out individually and collectively

stuck in traumas from our past

without knowing it consciously

we have been traumatized by

being forced to become something we are not

and not being seen for who we truly are

this trauma comes in physical and psychological ways

but all coming from the same root

a root born from a society

stuck in an idea of separation and fear

a society that creates a God of authority

that created the idea that there is something wrong in us

we are taught to believe this nonsense

because we are taught to separate ourselves

from ourselves

we continuously fragment and hurt

one another

we have lost sight of our interconnectivity

and so we destroy the wild

we try and control

for we are deeply insecure

and have lost sight of trust and inner fortitude

we manipulate ourselves and others

because we have been manipulated

to be something we are not

we compete against each other

thinking this is human nature

when in fact

we are born trusting

we are born

open, curious, and in wonder

Poverty is our society’s creation

Racism is our society’s creation

Sexism is our society’s creation

environmental control and destruction

in our society’s creation

To try and fit into this oppressive drama

will do nothing but destroy oneself

so join me and stop playing this drama

wake up from this enculturated dream

i am done

i will not play this sick game

any longer

i leap

over the edge

no longer content

to satisfy dreams

i am here to slay the dream

to jump where dragons and monsters

roam

i leap

diving where

few want to traverse

i dive into the dark

labyrinth of what was

formulated

unconsciously by the

forcing of me to play the game

through family and educational authority

this trauma lay within body/mind

i had nothing left to do

but dive

my only weapon

was an unweapon

a golden halo

of awareness

this pure awareness

understood the truama

of my mind

and healed without trying

awareness healed by seeing

healing with compassion

that flowed without being called

here

in this healing,

the egoic hold released

and

i saw, i was, i am, i always will be

beyond time/space

wholeness

for all is present

a presence

beyond senses

beyond form

beyond time/space

truth is here

and here

there are

no doorways

nor keys

there are no paths

only presence

to where everything

that once was

is no longer

and divisions

and enslavement dissolve

like clouds

where

sight becomes clarity

maya is perceived directly

and the drama of

ignorance

and fear

are seen as

nothing more than a mirage

so here

slow down with me

move with the flow

flow into the wild

of all that is

and is in you

rage into freedom

rage with me

stop buying into the cultural BS

i am here

you are here

everything is here

flowing within the

whirlpool of presence

beyond all words

all symbols

all ideas

flow

and break free

question all authority

dig in, research,

don’t run or fight

but be with exactly where you are

and look to understand

not hate or despair

acceptance helps one see

here is

is where i am

not in holding back

not in covering up

not in appearances

but in oneself free

this is the power that is the greatest

not forced on others

but radiating what is

which can’t be contained
