It is always so, that illusion is more real than reality itself, and that is how you identify the illusion from the real – not by its illusoriness for that would be begging the question but by the extent and intensity of its realness...

Stoicism avec J. Krishnamurti
That which is self-caused, cannot be made to happen.
And Virtue being its own reward, does not have an end outside of itself and thus cannot be made complaint to any goal based activity, and thus, cannot be practiced (to make it happen). It simply happens if it has to, on its own accord, with its own rhythm, humming its own music. Such things are best accrued as a gift...
Infact... as long as there remains a theory according to which there will be the practice of it, such practice can never be responsible for the coming into being of the self-caused activity. However, the acausal act may still show itself inspite of all that... and as it is not caused by an other-than, it is not bound in time, and thus, remains always already present even in its apparent absence. And it cannot be made to come, as also it cannot be made to go...

There is but only one suffering...
There is but only one suffering, that of confusion, be it expressed as some social conflict or the much intimate experience of choice when we are faced with the unavoidable situation of the having-to-chose-not-knowing-how. All other forms of suffering can either be dealt with, or are endurable one way or another...
And confusion arises when somewhere somehow there always already exists a Way, but that which not being according to the whims and prejudices of the theoretical world upheld so far, is denied or suppressed, that is, all confusion is due to the denial of the what-is because it does not suit the what-should-be, that is, it’s a confusion between the what-is with/as the what-should-be...
...for if you really did not know what-to-do, you would just plain "give up", but because you think (which is ideal) you know better when you actually don't (no wonder you think the actual is unjustified and the ideal should be in place), and then you feel all the more psyched up to take on the onus of choice.
PS. In the Psychologically realm, more so of emotions than thoughts, freedom is not be associated with choice and "individual rights". That ways the pre-Socratic Greeks and even the Vedic people were spot on :)

Must It Be Expressed?
Honesty is not about speaking the truth. It’s about seeking out the false, its about perceiving the true from the false by seeing the false as false. And when it is so, there be no question of speaking or the suppressing of it. Truth expresses itself as & thru that perception... for Silence is the language of truth.
MarginSpeak...
Brothels. Cremation Grounds. Railways Stations, Airports.
I especially like places which serve as some sort of a portal, in the vicinity of which I feel like am approaching some kinda inter-dimensional gateway...
The Myth of Motion...
All perceivable motion expresses itself thru some or other form of acceleration...

Are you nowhere?
However, what we can live for is a little less conflict, a little room of excess space, a little bit of free time to waste, a little privilege of slowing down from time to time, a little moment to remain in silence, a little kindness to ourselves, a little warmth for whosoever we hug, - these little slices that make up for an opening in our hearts, an opening which chides with the possibilities of some of the best things that just might pop up all of sudden, though in some of the most brief flashes of faith & fortitude... for you never know, all we can do is keep on learning the art of minimal interference, so we can let that be... you never know, that might just pop in right now, right here...

On the Network of Power
Unless a couple remains in the field of their co-influence, how does each feel out that the other exists?
Self-Refractions - 36
Do you think you are in any way more involved in the universe than the stone or the star?
poetry perpetuating more poetry...
There are things which have an immediate hold on one’s heart, something that is so akin to all works of great poetry, which if I am then asked to articulate or in some way justify, I would be at a loss... for they have too many things to say that no set of concrete words can embody, except maybe thru another poetry, - yes only that can serve as a somewhat probable response to such works of art.
And there you go: Poetry answered by poetry, or to say it more precisely, poetry that inspires poetry from the reader, poetry perpetuating more poetry, - now that is the hallmark of every great work of art.
