where shall eye look for enlightenment?
here.

when will it happen?
it's happening right now.

then why don't eye experience it?
because you do not look.

but what should eye look for?
nothing. just look.

but at what?
at anything your eyes light upon.

but must eye look in a special sort of way?
no. the ordinary way will do.

but don't eye always look the ordinary way?
no, you don't.

but why ever not?
because to look you must be here. you are mostly somewhere else.

ahhh yes...and the bowl of beans...turns to gas which we pass...and poop for the grass...am i being too crass...or just a plain ass ?? so it is not a good trade for our birthright...but fills the moment's desire...until the next thing comes into view...whether something to chew...or a little mind glue...that sticks to our shoe...like a moment that flew...you thought was a clue...to the real you !!!

"i often laugh at the misconceptions of perceptions" ...indeed a worthy excercise in mental health !! =P ...but of course i laugh at myself and no i do not think the suffering of others is joyful...but it does no good to encourage self-deception and self-inflicted folly !! enabling the dialogue to continue is cruel...far better to remove the scab from an oozing wound and clean it thoroughly...then to apply a balm and hope it gets better on it's own !! really caring forces one to take the extra steps necessary to resolve the problem permanently...and when have you seen a time that a person can take something seriously...that they are laughing about ??? that's what i thought !! =P
