TOKEN PROPHECY 19 [the balance]

—the personal is the micro and the world is the macro and their foundation is imbalance——every single happenstance is a reminder that the person cannot stand——being is the balance; belief is the weight——rest in the name of love

profisee two - venus and mars

my venus has been in retrograde for forty days so i'm sensitive to mars today——in the war but not of the war

the world is the boss and all its emperors and peasants are puppets——argument is most often just a microwar

for the horse of understanding, reasoning is a slippery slope——as long as there's a mars within your sky, there will be war

TOKEN PROPHECY 18 [weightless clarity]

—thought splits the baby——float within that universal pool of unthinkable light that you are——the weightless clarity of problemless light i am——the full light loving now my refuge and my drive—

TOKEN PROPHECY 17 [punctuation]

—potentiality is the new emptiness——you have to work real hard and suffer day and night ~not~ to be a mystic——anger at the world is just the world in you——only the mind denies the mind exists——reality, informing itself as mind that it is actually reality, is enlightenment (pay attention to the punctuation)—

The Kena Upanishad : Secret Knowing of Whom [...a contemporary nonsectarian transcreation...]

One

1

By whom and toward what springs the mind?

By whom is the first breath of life directed?

Who willed these words that one recites?

Of eyes and ears—what force ignites?

2

The ear of the ear, the mind of the mind,

That voice of the voice is the breath of the breath,

The eye of the eye seeing through all this is wise.

The world disappearing, now infinite skies!

3

Not there the eye goes, nor speech goes, nor mind.

Not known nor understood, how can it be taught?

Different is That from known and unknown—beyond.

Thus we have heard our teachers proclaiming just That.

4

Which by speech is not expressed, but by which the voice is expressed,

That alone, the Absolute, You, Know! and not this which they worship.

5

Which by thought is not understood, but by which thinking is understood,

That alone, the Absolute, You, Know! and not this which they worship.

6

Which by the eye is not seen, but by which all seeing is seen,

That alone, the Absolute, You, Know! and not this which they worship.

7

Which by the ear is not heard, but by which all hearing is heard,

That alone, the Absolute, You, Know! and not this which they worship.

8

Which by the breath is not inhaled, but by which all breathing is exhaled,

That alone, the Absolute, You, Know! and not this which they worship.



Two

  

1

If it’s thought to be fully understood, then little is it so.

Certainly you may discern the appearance of That

Which is shared between you and the laws of nature.

But meditating only yourself is the way it’s understood.

2

Not thinking I fully know

Nor not know—thus it’s known.

Anyone among us who knows that, That knows.

Not unknown—thus it’s known.

3

For whom not conceived, to whom conceived.

Conceived by whom—doesn’t know oneself.

Not discerned by discerning,

but discerned by not discerning.

4

Self-realization perceived conceives

Your own timelessness attending.

By that Self is intended all potency.

By its knowledge is tendered eternity.

5

Here, if known, then truth is.

If not known here, then great is the loss.

Being of being discerning, the wise,

abandoning this world, become eternally becoming.



Three

1

Once, the Absolute, in its divinity, becomes triumphant! And in that Absolute triumph, the gods are made manifestly glorious. But they perceive as their own, this triumph, as their own, this glory.

2

That perceives their misconception. Consequently it becomes observable before them. But they do not recognize what this great spirit is.

3

The gods, in response, turn to Agni, called Fire, and speak: all-knowing of this triumphant manifestation, discover what this great spirit is. Thus it would be so.

4

And so That was approached by Fire, but Fire, before its own investigation had even begun, was asked by That: who is this? I am Fire! I am this, it said. All-knowing, indeed, I inhabit all of This!

5

In you who are such, what power is there, inquired That. Fire answered: surely This, everything, I can inhabit and burn all that’s on the earth, indeed!

6

In front of this Fire, a piece of straw was placed. This was asked to burn just that. That, Fire approached, and with all its power, Fire was unable to burn that piece of straw. Overcome, it left that great spirit and returned to the gods. Because That is not This, it was unable to know what the great spirit is.

7

The gods, in response, turn to Vayu, called Wind, and speak: weaver of triumphant manifestation, discover what this great spirit is. Thus it would be so.

8

And so That was approached by Wind, but Wind, before its own investigation had even begun, was asked by That: who is this? I am Wind! I am this, it said. mover of all, indeed, I flow through all of This!

9

In you who are such, what power is there, inquired That. Wind answered: surely This, everything, I can flow through and overtake all that’s on the earth, indeed!

10

In front of this Wind, a piece of straw was placed. This was asked to take just that. That, Wind approached, and with all its power, Wind was unable to take that piece of straw. Overcome, it left that great spirit and returned to the gods. Because That is not This, it was unable to know what the great spirit is.

11

The gods, in response, turn to Indra, called Sky, and speak: highest one of triumphant manifestation, discover what this great spirit is. Thus it would be so. That was approached by Sky and thus That disappeared.

12

Sky, within that same Sky, came upon a woman named Uma, daughter of the Himalayas and wife to Shiva, benevolent goddess graced in light from the highest peaks. To her alone, Sky said, what is this great spirit hence?



Four

1

She, of the Absolute, said, it is through the Absolute This triumphs with great perception. Thus, accordingly, from That alone, This is made to understand the Absolute.

2

Consequently, these forces are higher than all other forces, in order: Fire, Wind, Sky. They of all of This came close in contact, and, of all of This, were first to understand the Absolute accordingly.

3

Consequently, Sky is the highest of all other forces. It indeed of all of This came closest in contact, and, of all of This, was first to understand the Absolute accordingly.

4

By that abovementioned message, in which That, lightning, lights completely, and in a sudden flash, closes completely, such is the mystical state of nature.

5

Then in that which is the self, there is this movement of the mind, resulting in its thinking, remembering its perpetual awakening intention.

6

That wisdom is That Arbor called That Arbor, by which attended, it forwards to This the knowledge of the real, reaching by such a manner here, whereby all beings are thereby united.

7

The Secret Knowing welcomes by speaking accordingly; uttered to you is The Secret Knowing of the Absolute; it is just You, The Secret Knowing, actually speaking.

8

Before the tempering of burning passion, the restraint of overtaking sensation, and indeed the wide totality of pure unclouded action, ultimately stands that knowledge, in which all such branches of authenticity originate.

9

Anyone indeed who realizes that one true knowledge, This is That, dispels all gloom by the infinite light of this widespread height in resting in resting.
