Participation

 

The nature of the conscious mind is participation.

Integration of a thought’s a kind of magic invocation—

A coming into resonance, the Alchemical Transmuter

A bringing into present tense, potentiating futures.

Consciousness is energy.  Energy is matter.

Matter is the centerpiece—Creation on a platter

Delivered to the mindful.  It’s a sacred space we share

From the first until the final moment we become aware

That there’s no such thing as here and there, there’s only here and now

And now we bring that thought to bear it matters only how

We choose to wield the wand of conscious manifesting

Entering the field beyond responses by suggesting

What seems absurd and so enraging among proponents of reduction:

You can’t observe without engaging—it’s the mind component of production.

There is a tree.  There is a forest.  There is a sound, if you can hear it

The mystery we find before us is how to ground ourselves in spirit

So what’s the meaning?  What’s the purpose?  Lots of cash and better health?

No—Life is teeming in this circus that consciousness might know itself.
