The Buddhist and the Scientist

Seen through the eyes is the world

The senses of the body

In observation of phenomena

The inner, thought and feeling, a felt sense arises within

The external, the physical body, matter and the cosmos

The Scientist, the philosophers of scientific thought are

learning of the Buddhas simple quantum perspective

and the world to its ends

Total knowledge of the most real, of all realities,

the human mind approaches the universal wisdom from many direction

but the orientation is the same

like a tree at the center of a spiral path

a cosmic dance between the internal and the external are what is arrived at

All routes of true wisdom and knowledge

of the ontological most real

arrive at the same understanding

There is a way things are

Bodies and minds dance and sing on top of the earth

and there is a way things are

Political systems rise and fall

and there is a way things are

Empires and corporations force control on the Earth

and there is a way things are

Stories are told that shape minds and bodies

and there is a way things are

the greatest deceptions envelope the mind, bending the way until something snaps

catastrophes of earth, weather, humanity and all living beings

like Shiva, an agent of grand destruction to restore balance to all that man arranges as his empire

people drive themselves crazy trying to change how things are

but The Way cannot be changed

Impressive arching bridges are built that curve just outside of reality

and there, the form gods, stand on mighty pillars

and walk across walk ways suspended in the sky

and call them a sure path

and they are a path, as sure they are to crumble

The Way, no simple highway

The seekers truth, walk the earth

The grand illusionists gamble with formations

In an environment filled with objects, and the structures of man

They are one in the same, for the earth has been changed by humans

engineered along The Way

Humans have made beauty

humans have made suffering

The Suffering is great when what we build binds the mind

there is danger in formations

The way of the great earthly garden has been paved upon

and the reality of now is the internal and external of the Anthropocene

the effect of what humans have done to the earth

the wasteland at the end of the earth where beings now reside,

living upon the remains of designed objects and manufactured ways of being

The Way remains quantum and transient, ethereal and ambient

the earth remains a living system, the effects of Lordman, long lasting on its biological function

Floating through walls and countrysides

the ghosts of human presence, the natural nonself wrestles with internal holograms of feeling form

a grasping occurs, and the mind is gripped and the longing for the supreme emptiness grows great

paths of creation like quantum tunnels through the mind in search of space

The clarity of being, of how earth is

of how people are, of how the mind is

where does it go so often

the mind is plagued by distractions

the land is plagued by the artery clogging plastics and goo of humanities energy endeavors

the want of more is forced upon us all

by gods if not by men, by the universe if not by earth

the simplest way, the greatest knowledge

just a few Tetris blocks away from a portal to moments of actuality

the river of the mind still flows

the humans are tending to it, removing the debris that obstructs its pure flow

Negotiating way with the form gods, knowing the river, knowing the formation kingdom

the words are battle-some, making way among the development plans and business arrangements

battle-some

Arjunas oldest storyline and the scientific triumph over the shackles of natures binding forces

Is it an engineered path that brings us to an emptiness as vast as the depths of space?

or is that a 3/4’s path,

middle way, with an emptiness found only as our concepts and constructs availed by some greater truth

The creator of form, making formations to remind oneself of clarity, when none is to be found

building worded worlds of awe, mysteriously reaching towards truth

Yet filling the emptiness where truth resides with somthing else

building with scraps of what is cherished as true and clear

the making of ones mind,

inquiries, observation, motion

structures, buildings, empires

thoughts, words, and stories

To create ones self when no creation of self is vital of spirit and mind

An internal avatar, a formation of “I”, spans across the minds and individuals of the world

Non-self, perception and feeling, speak and commune within

and the great forces of mind cast reality upon one another

And I, yes I, is spoken

a wise way, as the Buddha taught

fearing not what is seen within

confidently individual the Scientist and Buddhist experience the world

environmental spontaneity breaks free from stagnate patterns

Patterns built into the body, into routine and the environment

the formation is not that which is arrived at but a means of arrival, a boat, a raft

The Buddhist does not arrive at enlightenment simply by means of ancient scripture

The Scientist, does not arrive at complete and total knowledge via the computer, incremental measurements and designed systems

The wise human spirit becomes oriented towards truth

religions and schools of thought become secondary

with their conformities in mass

the learned forms are beautifully broken like the individual body at its end

the truth of death most real

The Buddhist turns towards the tree at the center of the spiral path

seeing within

internal focus, applying and sustaining thought,

letting go, wisdom, space, emptiness, nothingness

The scientist, focuses externally, seeing the tree, numbers and data,

and the forest

and the mountain peak

applying and sustaining thought

the intellect

matter, motion and the cosmic bodies

observation and analysis

strong concentrated minds maintaining mental vitality

examining the same universe, the same earth-body-mind,

the same body, flesh and bones,

The same feeling and matter

the same illusions

the same form

the same nature of things

composure, techniques, facts and form about truth

and the arising of truth itself

“form is form”

form is not experience itself

but form is experienced

the fire, the object and shadow it casts on the cave wall

the form of each elemental phenomena is perceived by the human mind

a dependent arising of mind and matter

the experience is relational, individual and whole at the same time

convincing a moment into being

is subjected to the universal tides of truth

the washing away of words and form

by all that is beyond form and perception

The tree is in the court yard

at the center of the spiral path

the sections of mind traversed

the individual is established in being

beauty

a measure of realness

and truth

should it arise

is that which the Buddha and the Scientist agree upon
