KENA UPANISHAD 3:11-12 [graced in a light]

Then, they, to sky, spoke: highest one, discover what this great spirit is. Thus it was so. That was approached by it and thus that disappeared.

It, in that same sky, came upon a woman graced in a light from the highest peaks. To her alone, it said, what is this great spirit therefore?


athendram abruvan maghavann etad vijanihi kim etad yaksham iti. tatheti tad abhyadravat tasmat tirodadadhe.

sa tasminn eva aakaashe striyam aajagaama bahu shobhamaanaam umaam haimavatiim tam ha uvaacha kim etad yaksham iti. 

Note: I've tried to stay away from using the names of gods, and rather stay with the natural component: fire for Agni, air for Vayu, and here, sky for Indra; and for Uma, light.

TOKEN PROPHECY 13 [the last judgment]

—judgment divides good and bad; inquiry sees through false to truth——(after accepting what is, there's no further need for accepting)——the last judgment comes that moment when all judgment is seen through——(mistaking maps for treasure, debating directions to where you already are)——judge not, for upon such judging, you are the one divided—

TOKEN PROPHECY 12 [play it again]

—one that is awake is more in the wild while sitting in a living room than the sleeping one walking in the wilderness——ego is just consciousness identified with thoughts; there's nothing wrong with it; just false and unbalanced——play it again i-am——ego divides; there's nothing wrong with it; just an inevitable environment that's divisive, violent, and a world of war and suffering——lighten up——judging truth with the intellect is a waste of your intelligence and a hindrance to your feeling it——you already are the truth; there's no need to argue it—

TOKEN PROPHECY 11 [only one way]

—headless, i am my surroundings, white walls like brain cells and this window like a synapse opening into green dendrites and skylight matter——it takes a tremendous leap of faith to believe that all is not one——i have yet to see anyone prove their separation——operating under false assumptions will get you time in this state——you must nothing——in order to describe myself, i create new words but never use them——there's only one way and it's your way; all other ways are one ways in another direction——the absolute unborn unending unity, the wisdom flash and spark of pure awareness, the fiery light and perceiving love of consciousness, aum—

KENA UPANISHAD 3:7-10 [take just that]

Then, they, to air, spoke: weaver of this, discover what this great spirit is. Thus it was so.

That was approached by it, but it was asked: who is this? Air indeed, I am this, it said: mother of all, indeed, I am this.

In you who are such, what power is there? Surely this, everything, I can overtake, all that’s on the earth, indeed!

In front of it, a piece of straw was placed. This was asked to take just that. That, it approached, and with all its power, that it was unable to take. Overcome, from that, it returned. Not this, it was unable to know what this great spirit is therefore.
  

atha vayum abruvan vayav etad vijanihi kim etad yaksham iti tatheti.

tad abhyadravat tam abhyavadat ko 'siti vayur va aham asmity abravin matarishva va aham asmiti.

tasmims tvayi kim viryam ity apidam sarvam adadiya yad idam prithivyam iti.

tasmai trinam nidadhav etad adatsveti tad upa preyaya sarva-javena tan na shashakadatum sa tata eva nivavrite naitad ashakam vijnatum yad etad yaksham iti.


Notes: for the most part, this is word for word as slokas 3-6, but for the substitution of air rather than fire. I have chose ‘overtake’ in sloka 9, very much liking its connotations of speed and dominance, while contrasting the simple (and impossible) request to ‘take’ in sloka 10.


TOKEN PROPHECY 10 [perform its function]

—the water boils and the bubbles rise, breaking into the light. but while they rise, oh the stories they have to tell——the dream world usurps the real and calls itself the real world, but the real is never overthrown; silly world——consciousness is teacher in form: guru, tutor, child, or book; in sacrifice of thought, student is consciousness to which it speaks——the language of science is a good language for deconstructing the person, but it's useless otherwise; speak love——not that human life is of any greater value but the aspect of that one life which is human is responsible for its function: self-realization——that responsibility is met by the person by dropping that so-called person and resting in one life pure being, which will perform its function——drop ego for guru, drop body for being, drop mind for realization—

TOKEN PROPHECY 9 [love makes]

—the "moral" aspect of the universe is consciousness itself; the so-called immoral is consciousness identified with thought——there are no reasons why consciousness identifies with thought; reasons are immoral——love makes the world and love unmakes the world, and that's all ye need to know—

TOKEN PROPHECY 8 [speak to love]

—love is an aspect of truth most are familiar with; they just don't know what to make of it because it's indescribable——one that doesn't speak to love only speaks to concepts——many may know what isn't; only one will know what is——the masculine fears it; the feminine desires it; love is neither——one is love, i am; what is is absolutely That—

TOKEN PROPHECY 7 [your inner nobody]

—applying the process of thought to what you are is the foundation of all this lunacy——thought works with thought, a closed loop whirlpool——plucking the petals of a dandelion with undeniable love——what the universe wants the universe is——the person emerges from the original thought of 'i am not'——to untie this knot, just not the not——the bliss of Self-fulfilling potential——rest in your inner nobody——burn yourself away within your one unchecked original sun——shine on, sweet nothing, shine on—

TOKEN PROPHECY 6 [love is the third]

—this world appears to be an either-or place, but viewed in true light, it's actually both-and——thought supplies two ways but love is the third——as an old branch veers off into gravity's diversion, a new branch arises through the triple sun of love, continuing the flight of life——the dance of creation indeed is a dervish sweet waltz—
