the body's eyes do not see
close your eyes
everyone you know is there
even those long ago dead
cars
trees
everything you have ever seen,
without eyes
plug your ears.
go in a soundproof room,
listen to the music, trains,
thunder, the plunk of a stone in water,
without your ears
mouth closed
no food anywhere,
taste the honey,
chocolate, mint
onions...
feel the mouth water,
the stomach secrete acids,
without any food anywhere
hands closed,
feel the sandpaper
silk
cotton
sharp glass...feel the pain, the adrenaline
see the blood
nothing happening at all to the body
inhale
the lemon,
the broccoli,
perfume,
the sea air
all while dreaming at night,
all while dreaming at day
nothing going on,
it's all remembered,
the brain
acts completely the same
whether "real"
or remembered
it's not doing it either
it
does not know the difference
because there is none
it's all remembered,
coming from somewhere else,
every thing you'll ever experience,
a memory,
a recalling up of a past
not happening now
just imaging
for you to re-view
until you realize
you have no real eyes
to project out
it has to be in,
first,
nothing new,
just concepts
and pictures of concepts
no information ever
comes
to
the body
we couldn't see without eyes
and hear without ears
unless
we don't need them to do it
unless the body isn't needed
mind
sees the body,
not the other way around
mind sees, hears, feels, tastes, smells
we've been fooled
for thousands and thousands of years
our thoughts tell us it's the eyes,
yet every night i close my eyes and see and experience exactly what i experience with eyes open
"body" reacts exactly the same
this means
the whole world
is in my mind
there is no information that comes to me from the world
none
be very still
notice
when you think
you are seeing...
what kind of story am i telling...?
loveliness
or
loneliness?
Mama
or baby?
rest
or
worry?
there is no information that comes to the body
nothing is out there
i "see" only evidence to support/tell my story
what is it i am telling myself now?
