Ideas of peeling off some of the habits of perception, to really get somewhere
lyrics
TEXT:
Seeing the world
always
in relation to oneself
makes for a blurry vision
smeared by brainstem impulsry
and long-lasting looping imagery
hunkered down
by the automated responses
of man's measure
Perception
freed
of relation to oneself,
liberated
from the armour of language,
the veil of concepts
opens the Rigpa clarity
of a bottomless mystery
Relieve cat
of the definition cat
and gaze into a measureless
ness
of someone
hitherto unaquainted,
hiding under the cloth
of man's measure
Peel away
the expression tree
off of the mighty tallness
towering,
and sense the surge
from roots
up the intenseness
of stem
and branchery
into the mystery
where the wind soughs through the foliage
above man's measure
Discard your language's word
for the mass and the weight
in your hand
as you lift a seaside rock
off the ocean shore,
to perceive the rugged
pull of the planet
in the mystery
below man's measure
Practice the art
of not considering
yourself
in relation to
yourself,
try peering through the mist
of the ego,
the veil of self-awareness,
in the vastness
of the ness
that is the mystery of mind
and its spacious mindfulness;
a floating mirror
in space-time
above the mirror of the universe,
the measure of man undone
in the aphasiated phonetics of
cat, tree, rock, man, universe;
just the anonymous vibrations of sounds
in the air
in time with tympanic membranes
and shots of electricity
into auditory centers
where swelling and contracting
sound bodies
unwittingly twirl and dance
the nameless, traitless reality
inside homeblind distinctions;
directly, unrelated, unmediated,
if only for a flash
of the glance of satori's
sabertoothed tiger
