"Me!"
You raised your spirit hand.
There would be rules, you were warned.
Many, many,
oh, so many, many rules.
"Me, me!"
Your spirit hand waved wildly.
And everyone's spirit eyes could see you weren't the cautious type.
You would live and learn by doing, not by thinking through.
All right, then.
You were warned.
No floating.
No soaking up energy from the cosmos.
No thought projecting.
No remembering who you are.
You may want to ask about that last one.
First, you have to buiId a "body."
No floating.
You will move by making "steps" with "feet."
No soaking up energy from the cosmos.
You will sustain your physicality energy by "biting" and "swallowing" matter.
You might also be "bitten" and "swallowed" by another "body."
No thought projecting.
You will communicate by forming "words" with a "mouth" and pushing them out.
You will use your "ears" to "hear" the "words" that other people "say."
No floating.
No soaking up energy from the cosmos.
No thought projecting.
No remembering Unity.
No remembering who you are.
Did you forget to ask about that last one?
You will have to learn to "respirate" and "urinate" and "cogitate."
You will be "feeling," you will be "doing."
You will "love," and "enjoy," and you will "fear."
What's the point of this game?
You'll ask yourself that question
many, many,
oh, so many times.
But you'll never be sure of the answer.
because--remember? No remembering.
And you won't be the only one
in your pretend world.
Your friends will be there, too.
But you won't recognize them,
because--remember? No remembering.
You may want to quit the game
before your time is up,
but you won't know how,
because--remember? No remembering.
You may want to stay in the game forever,
but you won't know why,
because--remember? No remembering
All set?
Forget!

DO YOU THINK THOUGHTS ARE THINGS?
Do you think thoughts are things?
Mine are an unruly bunch,
always jostling for position in my head.
They give me headaches.
And they don't just stay inside my head.
They bounce along beside me as I take my daily walk,
bumping into other thoughts whenever I pass someone.
Do we pass thoughts around like viruses?
And how did some of them get SO BIG?
So big that they have their own names.
Money, Marriage, Starbucks, School,
the Stock Market and all cults.
Where two or three thinkers sit,
shared thoughtforms coalesce.
Now, how do you feel about feelings?
The following two poems are from my new book.
the little christian egregore and HOLY MOTHER CHURCH
That's the title of my new book, published in August. A few of you have already received copies.

UNDRESSING BEFORE SLEEP
Strip down to the space where there is no race. Strip down under gender, under face. Strip down under taste and touch and such. Ego wears so many clothes!
FEEDING BABY ROBINS by Ann
ORIGINAL SECRET
My son Tommy discovered the original secret. That secret that the humans learned when they ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They weren't supposed to know. As long as they didn't know, they were innocent, and the Garden cared for them as if they were children. But they found out. Here it is. In order to live, you have to take life. Who would create a planet home cursed with a rule like that? Matter. Now, who could create a planet home blessed with another rule, a rule like this? In order to live, you have to give life. Spirit.
QUIT PICKING ON YOUR SHADOW SIDE!
You like to think that you're so good and they're so bad. Your shadow knows. All those qualities you hate and fear in others look surprisingly like those qualities you keep locked in secret compartments deep inside your soul. Your shadow knows. Your shadow is your loud proud rude crude lazy crazy oversexed unrepentant embarrassing friend. Learn to love it.
