There is dust
\nAbout us,
\nPrecipitated energy
\nWhose energy
\nNow so slow,
\nIt lends itself to the palpable universe,
\nThe limited impressionistic
\nUniverse so many
\nProudly
\nAnd fallaciously call
\nHome.<\/p>\n
This dust is all about us,
\nAttracting the thought and the attention
\nAnd all the
\nTies that
\nIt beguiles from
\nThe misguided
\nIndividuals for whom this dust
\nIs the all,
\nThe God,
\nThe deious, unpious and the
\nObject of their worship.<\/p>\n
In this dust
\nAll evil can be found.
\nAll roots of all
\nThe mundane,
\nThe deleterious,
\nAll of the bad that
\nAs persons we
\nAre told to avoid.<\/p>\n
Release from this plane of dust,
\nThis universe where
\nAll must
\nDecay,
\nThis universe where all things
\nCan only have the
\nImpermanence that
\nRenders things slaves to
\nTheir own subservient dust,
\nTo which their own subservience has succumbed
\nTo by their own thought,
\nCan only be through control of the dust,
\nControl of the desire that holds the
\nDust.<\/p>\n
Evil dust:
\nThis dust allows the sense of touch,
\nThis dust allows and promotes the mundane
\nThrough holding us back as entities from our universal
\nKnowledge,
\nFrom universal Love,
\nFrom all that there is to be
\nKnown,
\nFrom all that there is to be
\nExperienced,
\nFrom all that there is to be.<\/p>\n
Through the deathly dust found in deserts,
\nThrough the dust found in
\nGold,
\nThrough the dust from which bodies are
\nFormed,
\nAll knowledge is recorded through
\nThis dust from which human desire
\nAnd human memory stem.
\nThat dust is the dust of the universe,
\nThat dust is the dust of this world,
\nIs the dust that through its own control
\nCan cleanse,
\nThe dust that through control can strengthen,
\nThe dust that is the dust of the desert,
\nThe dust that is the dust of gold,
\nThe dust that all is made of
\nIn this impermanent world
\nOf imperfection
\nAnd decay and
\nLust and greed,
\nAnd emotion controlled and
\nWilled unto the dust.<\/p>\n
What then is not this dust?
\nSince this dust too
\nIs the god that is all
\nThings?
\nThis dust also is a part of the godness of all
\nThings, and this dust too
\nIs the only way out of this dust plane.
\nWe must control our desire for this dust,
\nAnd thus control the dust,
\nTo live not only with
\nBut through this dust,
\nSo that any
\nEncounters with sensory impressions
\nIn futures passing
\nWill not arouse the
\nSame misguided thought,
\nThe same misguided desire
\nAnd lust for this life,
\nThis sensory
\nAnd impressionistic
\nWorld of dust,
\nIn which we are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
