This short poem addresses a theme that underlies much of my poetry, that, in ultimate reality, we are one.\u00a0 As Martin Luther King, Jr. so eloquently stated: \u201cWe are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.\u00a0 Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.\u201d\u00a0 The ego, wed to its own independence, over and above interdependence, resists a shared destiny, routinely seeking to carve out its own apparent advantage over larger realities.\u00a0 After experiencing one’s fair share of unpleasant events, and witnessing the sheer pervasiveness of such events in life, competing to rise above such a fray seems eminently natural — eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.\u00a0 Only a deep humility and an unbound love for life can transform destruction of selves into self-realization.<\/p>\n

Must life feed on life?\u00a0 Of course, as one, what else could one feed upon?\u00a0 As a literal example, our food comes from living beings.\u00a0 Now, some meat-eaters employ this fact as a convenient rationalization that killing is normal, or at least a “necessary” evil, and lazily leap to a mode of thinking (and eating) where killing is of little consequence.\u00a0 I see enlightenment of living beings gently resting on that thin line between eating and being eaten.\u00a0 If life must feed on life, is there a way of feeding upon life that enhances life not diminish it?\u00a0 I believe that life can get bigger or smaller, as a whole, and as a self within the whole.\u00a0 How big or how small I’m not sure.\u00a0 Nonetheless, that thin line, our consciousness, is where the expansion or contraction rests.\u00a0 Is our consciousness, and conscientiousness, confined to our self, our family, our tribe, our species, our planet, or what?\u00a0 Consciousness may very well be the heart of life itself.\u00a0 In this case, increasing consciousness increases life and decreasing consciousness decreases life.<\/p>\n

One construct of evil would be feeding on death, a level of (un)consciousness that does not recognize or share consciousness with other beings.\u00a0 Evil consumes consciousness.\u00a0 In a sense, what evil does share is unconsciousness or contracted consciousness.\u00a0 Functioning with a shared unconsciousness reduces humans to mere billiard balls, a set, albeit complex set, of cause and effect relationships guided by causes (including others’ wills) outside our self.\u00a0 In essence, “choosing” unconsciousness or declining to expand consciousness takes us out of the game (the game being enhancing consciousness, life).\u00a0 Contracted consciousness is a set of relationships (a “contract”) created and maintained by our wills, consciously chosen.\u00a0 It is these contracts that form the substance and style of our culture, ethical debates, and political fights.\u00a0 Still, consciousness, and its creative existential force, the will, lies outside any particular set of relationships (material conditions) that can be chosen.\u00a0 Expanding consciousness will necessarily run into this awareness, that any particular culture, set of social conditions, or ideology, cannot control our conscious free will.\u00a0 The seemingly obvious exception to this is death, or more specifically, killing, presumably ending conscious free will.\u00a0 Justified killing is included in most contracts among humans today.\u00a0 What this often overlooks is that killing particular expressions of conscious free will does not eliminate conscious free will; most bluntly illustrated by the fact that this would require suicide (thus, the fascination of murder-suicide by existentialist writers).\u00a0 No doubt, killing is a very blunt way of trying to reign in conscious free will.\u00a0 Of course, many contracted belief systems include an afterlife, the survival of conscious free will.\u00a0 If this is true, this radically alters the effectiveness of killing.\u00a0 Unfortunately, sometimes the belief in an afterlife, rather than simply leading to bold living, serves in the rationalization of killing (e.g., “kill them all and let God sort them out”).<\/p>\n

Conjoining our consciousnesses seems best served by the most profound precept: love your enemies.\u00a0 That which is not you — or more aptly put, that which you do not want to be you — must be both transcended and entered into.\u00a0 Each of us and all of us are best served by manifesting the courage to confront and reconcile both our own inner dark side and the darkness manifest in others.\u00a0 Back to the eat or be eaten metaphor, the question is begged: what if you were the pray.\u00a0 The more gently profound precept, have compassion on all living beings, spurs us to walk in another’s shoes and no what it is like for shoeless souls laid bare to the world.\u00a0 May we all be grounded, and laid to rest, with such compassionate and conscious living.\u00a0 I deeply appreciate the Zen story of the man encountering another man somewhat boasting in tales about his great relationship and love of animals, to which he interjects, “A fish once saved my life.”\u00a0 The boaster’s curiosity was peaked to hear such a tale.\u00a0 To which he was told: “Once I was lost in the woods and perilously hungry.\u00a0 I found a fish in the stream, and I ate him.”\u00a0 This signature Zen approach is transcendentally funny and, not coincidentally, enlightening. \u00a0 He deflated pomposity.\u00a0 Lauded the fish which saved his life.\u00a0 Plus, he outflanked even the most compassionate ideology, witnessing to the mystery of mysteries needed to instill life into any chosen ideology.\u00a0 The Christian take on dietary ideologies is less clever but makes a similar point: “What goes into someone\u2019s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” (Matthew 15:11)<\/p>\n

All great philosophies and the mysticism at the heart of all religions recognizes the irreducible, creative freedom present in humans.\u00a0 The mystery of creation parallels the making of humans in God’s image as co-creators, romping around the created universe.\u00a0 Creation focuses on the will, the power present in human consciousness, and presumably God’s consciousness.\u00a0 However, consciousness is the prerequisite to experience itself, whereby meaning arises, even made possible. Consciousness gives rise to (the experience of) the other, the myriad of things, including our body and mind.\u00a0 Consciousness, sometimes called “The third eye<\/a>,” is the seat of all seeing, even able to see our mind from a vantage point other than the mind itself, the true “I.”\u00a0 Consciousness enlivens existence with experience and we can meaningfully participate in the myriad of things (the created world) through our will.\u00a0 I strongly suspect that the foundational importance of relationships, sharing, and creation spring out of the nature of God.\u00a0 As I see it, God consciousness and will give rise (create) to the other so it can share the experience of an other.\u00a0 Maybe God just got tired of self-consciousness (see my poem: An Answer to the Problem of Evil<\/a>, which is much more playful than the weighty title might connote).\u00a0 Giving\/creating seems to be the foundational nature of sharing present in enlightened beings, which cements the centrality of relationships among others.\u00a0 I am struck by the tripartite truth of consciousness of self, the palpable created reality in which we experience, and the irascibly creative will from which we add our own touches.\u00a0 Granted, I may be touched.\u00a0 Still, there is a spirit within me that will not rest until our created reality is won size fits awe.<\/p>\n
