neolithic  burial
















once you get used to it, 2 or more versions becomes the norm


it's only the cost of paper that people never used to do it

in fact osip mandelshtam did that in his later poems, several versions


often good ones are recursive, they naturally flip about with word order and meaning
















i


notice


with


myself


it's


always

a

to

something

 devoyniching dogen 



“ cease studying words and following letters. learn to step back, turning the light inwards, illuminating the self. doing so, your body and mind will drop away naturally, and original self will manifest. if you wish to attain suchness, practice suchness immediately ”


cease conforming what you read to what you think it means !


going


backwards


annihilates


yourself !



it's shorter cause i can write better than eihei dogen and understand it better
than dogen did at that point ! : o )


died when he was 53, i am older than him now so should be ahead !


his last/death  poem  is pretty hard to beat though
there are certain plateaus maybe one can't go past ?
















i was thinking of brad warner and how his  blog  is really censored !


he's actually quite a subtle man and he has always shown that he returns to permitting anonymous posting, not just because it gives some volume to the comments, but more importantly the “anonymouses” will mercilessly and endlessly rag anything of sense which actually makes him look quite good since he really just posts empty piffle !


so actually anything authentic is actually policed out by these people who are intent on “spoiling”


also brad removed any posts i made referring to myself as the seventh patriarch and i suspect he would remove any post that referred to me as being valid and actually the seventh patriarch because it undercuts his and all zen's phoney transmission claims, that is “the emperors have no clothes" (and not just because they are bedding their students ; o )


so the free run fully anonymous permission is an illusion, he just does the censorship more subtly than most and proof of the pudding is he won't risk posting here and be exposed to some real  “dharma combat”  will he ?


the 7th patriarch  blog  is different, just insists on identity and once that is established you can comment whatever you like, if you persist in schizophrenic rabble you will be warned and then removed unless you remedy !


brad, if you are reading this and i suspect you might, why not step up with a comment ? why be a vice grip on the nishijima transmission, it's all nonsense and you got conned into volunteering your life into something that just costs and kills you !


try a month without zazen, go for a walk in the countryside or on a beach instead, let loose this nonsense from you !


one day you might post on the hardcore zen blog that you are giving up zen and thank god the seventh patriarch helped me see what he was on about


lol a different imaginary universe for sure !


all you inauthentic zen teachers which is just about all of you, it's quite easy to hang up your credentials and depart from teaching zen because what you have is inauthentic and so is not real anyway


unfortunately since i was actually given transmisson directly by the sixth patriarch and effectively i accepted i don't have that freedom : o (


i think all i can do is minimise the work involved !
















2nd post deleted by barry graham, a good reply too


this fundamental inability to be objective about criticism means you can't have seen infinity/buddha properly by a long way


the only person i ever met who was able and encouraged this sort of thing was toni packer


i don't know of any zen teachers alive to day who can do this, george bowman i think was quite good but still had some boundaries


that's why i, since i am authentic zen personally appointed by the sixth partiarch and as such the only real lineage holder alive today have disapproved and deregistered all zen teachers, there are three not deregistered, bowman, rizzetto and tesuten, but they are not approved !


well i'm the boss and they know it, too scared to appear on here that's for sure, there is no comment moderation on this blog, just a long line of fakes and cowards reading it!


oh and plagiarists busy pinching my material !


haven't they read the blue cliff record or shinji shobogenzo? a whole generation of teachers not even worthy to to be castigised as pretending adepts !


yellow


bellies and wankers you are challenged ! if you are and good reduce me to a weeping ragbag ! : o )


you will be treated fairly here ! let's see you, but in actual fact you will do you best to keep things very quiet about me because i am so obviously your superior !


people like barry graham get publicized because his obvious flaws make him safe, but me, they just suppress publicity and plagiarize what their small minds are capable of !


which is not much !


anyone is , i won't say welcome, but certainly permitted to post/comment, in your shoes i would take advantage of it, but you are so scared of looking like the frauds you are you just look and don't participate in anything real which of course is why you are frauds in the first place like barry graham and just mouth platitudes and clichés endlessly!

barry graham video  interview , glaswegian, he's not an idiot, quite interesting really, not the vapid non thinking twit so typical in zen ! absolutely intolerant of any criticism apparently from reading around on the web, might be to do with his upbringing which was very hard! i am going to withdraw his specific exclusion from zen, he's actually better than most !

















this is a side of zen that is not really mentioned much but is very much what it is, in fact actually more so!

an email to the paranormal romance writer zoe winters  (5/12/2011)


it's funny how we ignore our natural abilities


sorry just couldn’t resist replying to  this


“ after i broke down a few days ago and had a conversation about publishing on twitter, i got three emails practically back-to-back from three different people asking me to read their work, review their work, and help them market their work ”


why don’t you charge for it?


you are a reasonable but not great author (still here lol?) and maybe you will get tired of writing 10,000 words a day but you seem to occupy a spot that no-one else does, rational, a real author and have some sort of light of discernment about the writing process which i regret to say truly great authors don’t have !


the vanity press is your financial spouse !


it’s this “eye of discernment” i trust to look objectively at what i have said, that’s your real ability and actually the market you write for won’t fully appreciate it the way the vanity press will !


----------------------


well she got abit upset and this is my reply to her replies


i took the trouble because i think you are high functioning autistic which is what i am and i relate to the way you think which is not how most people think at all !


you can be rude, it doesn’t bother me and i don’t think it bothers you


everything crashes when you are on autistic spectrum and when i read about you trying to do 10,000 words a day i got a bad vibe !


what you write naturally is philosophy, that’s what your blog is, you are shoe horning your talent into what doesn’t quite fit with paranormal romance, that is you have arrived or ended up in paranormal romance because you came to a good conceptual understanding of the drives behind the readers of that genre and can write to meet those !


it all seems a little odd, you don’t know me from a bar of soap and neither do i know you except there is a strong similarity which is why you replied


you ( and i) are much more the demons you write about, but they don’t live too well in the human world !


well it’s just a suggestion and really it’s asking is what are our real natural talents that we are not so aware of that people respond to and what can be done to use this to make life easier since we expect things to be so hard normally and don’t think its normal if otherwise !


----------------------


another reply:


the trouble with writers is they are very strongly autistically traited !


it makes them very penal to deal with, but they are also your fellows in this weird world of high functioning autism, there is a balance of avoidance and contact in my experience ! contact on the web way beats contact in real life !


i don’t know who you read, jane austen, emily dickinson, edgar allen poe? sir henry neville (the real writer of shakespeare), amanda hocking, stephen king, jk rowling hemingway, j. d. salinger, h. p. lovecraft are all high functioning autistics, you can go into music, kurt cobain, mozart, michael jackson, beethoven, mahler, freddie mercury, john lennon ..................


in art, dali, hieronymus bosh, leonardo da vinci, vincent van gogh, monet etc, it’s just endless !


women do generally trait a bit differently from men in high functioning autism retaining somewhat the social skills and can super connect, in fact too much so!  ;  o )


there’s a whole world out there of autism that’s nothing to do with the diagnosis


in my opinion it would be worth your while doing a bit of investigation into sir henry neville as the real author of shakespeare's works because i just have this vibe of a similarity between you and him in the way you think and it would be something to thread into a story that would i think give you very good publicity from upsetting the establishment


you won’t have the luxury of time i have, but i have spent full weeks on it and there’s two facts, one that shakespeare never wrote shakespeare and the second is that sir henry neville did


he’s really an exciting person, there’s codes and time in spent in the tower of london facing execution, his business selling cannon to norway, travels to italy and in general the fit is so good and he's quite spooky too!


one can just write, but its important to keep stretching yourself and it pays dividends in enhanced story telling and actually it's a weakness of people like amanda hocking that they don’t do this enough !


one can just write, but it’s important to keep stretching yourself and it pays dividends in enhanced story telling and actually it's a weakness of just about all contemporary writers that they don’t do this enough, especially with what’s available on the net !


so i think that’s what i am offering in the way of advice, that stretching and beware of buddhism it’s quite as poisonous as any other religion, and lower back injury with belly dancing..................


the real talent that helps you is in not in your own generation, it’s those rare lights across the centuries and that grows you!


i also feel hieronymus bosh has something for you, a bit of sophstication about this cultural side of life and a few “ in the know ” references in a story can propel one into being taken as a more interesting and serious writer in my observation, even tho i guess in a way it's really a fraud this notion of serious writer ; o )

“ I reread what I wrote and it just occurred to me that I was coming off judgmental and condescending in a way I didn't intend. ”  ( zoe winters )


i can see who you are and your value and have no issue with that sort of thing, you are like me and flick back and forth between these different perceptions and that's the way we problem solve tho in my observation everyone else has trouble coping with it ; o )


-------------------------


i have quite an association with buddhism including zen and tibetan, it’s all poison and i don’t care if people don’t like to hear that ! just an endless con i am afraid which can be quite difficult to penetrate !


hey i’m the 7th zen  patriarch  !!!!!!!!!!!


you are american and tho you think of yourself as a buddhist, you are in reality a “medical cultist” which is why you give the whole nonsensical pyschiatric scene the time of day !


re michael jackson, you can’t be a savant without being autistic, he’d have lasted longer if he ate better, you might complain about hormones, but wait till they leave, then it’s living death !


you can go in circles and you will i guess !


basically you don't have any respect for sense !


your “paranormality” is pure convention, amanda hockings is not so conventional, for instance she combines her work experience in group homes for the disabled and it's depersonalized treatement of the disbaled into her writing in a surprising way !


you are working hard to keep the lid on the box labelled normal that you have constructed to shield yourself in, side with the moron majority, but it’s not going to help you, they rip the flesh of vulnerable when they can and you are vulnerable !

well


far from taking any advice she bailed !

good luck with being a phoney and bad writer !

it's interesting looking at the hardcore zen blog, not posting but having posted, really nishijima is a half baked wacko and good illustration of the problems of zazen deepening schizophrenia, he's not without deep streaks of genuine talent but in the end he's just another spaced out crazy loon and if you think he's ok like they do on the hardcore zen blog then you have no judgement which of course is the case with most of the posters there so it's just a rabid infestion of zazen deepened schizophrenics !


brad warner is a semi-talented gadfly who has latched onto something he thought was of value but is in fact penally empty and would be advised to look elsewhere but he won't of course !

this  homily/poem  was originally titled “loneliness” but was then changed to “across” on the poem index page


i felt that “loneliness” is better come across in the poem as surprise


that's generally why i think “untitled” is usually better


however in some instances it helps to prep with a neutral word or even a charged word depending


the title is more like the first word of the poem imo


was just thinking that poem sort of sums up the problem of being alive


stuck in an illusion of being part of a reality we are in fact a source of


we are the source of reality ourselves


so there's really only us, once we perceive that being alone is the truer state
