when we vaporise
melding with the current
within time transcended stillness
being to become essence of presence
no will remains yet all the doings are done
cognised, realised but not empowered
for there is no one here anymore
save a mist of bliss vibrant
in its innate aliveness

Reading "mist" I had visions of when someone asked my daughter if she loved her job. She works with special needs children. She said she did, but that sometimes (for instance) when she was changing a particularly smelly and dirty nappy of a twelve year old and then another youngster threw their nappy at her and "the **** sprays around my face".....then "I have my doubts". She laughed.
Anyway, on much the same note, someone once warned me that when a "spiritual" person mentions the word "vibration" you should "run for cover". Good advice.

Lol, when the beach boys sing about good vibrations run.
When a spiritual person talks about it. It can mean many different things. Sometimes there's gems to be found within the vibratory reality

that's when I knew the sound of one hand clapping!
There is NO logic...that's the point ---to go way past that logical part of the mind that it loves so much!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Two little poems, companions......the first by Basho, the second by Taitetsu Unno, from his introduction to Pure Land Buddhism, "River of Fire, River of Water".

Such stillness—
The cry of the cicadas
Sinks into the rocks.

Such sorrow—
The cry of true compassion
Sinks into my hard ego.

When there is two merging as one
There is always vibrations
Until there is no one left
