Good contends with bad
so much as it is good.
Thus bad,
reflecting the contention of good,
makes good better.
Without bad
better is good
and good is bad.
So high as life is good
and so much as it is real,
death does not exist-
as when only one prevails
it is divided by contrast.
When all the world is realized
as a token of one's own projection,
truth shimmers on the wave's edge-
and this truth contends with nothing,
as it is everything.

The Way forgets it is Way,
and so flows beyond remembering,
yet Way can never be forgotten,
only rediscovered.
All people know Way when they see it,
and use it for gain.
Yet gain is fooling others to recognize it's semblance
which ripens into loss imbued with gain.
The only gain is in seeing it.
Using it for gain is losing it.
Introverting gain with loss
is to gain Way.
Forgetting gain to gain Way-
this is the path to freedom.

One who smiles lightly
and comprehends deeply...
that comprehension leads to enlightenment
beyond comprehension.
Beholding the vast depths of emptyness
hidden in all things,
one relaxes into eternity-
resting in the eternal
and so awake in the the moment.
Cosmic vision obscuring mortal ambitions,
no volition seems worth investment-
and so witnessing the face of life from beyond,
one dances through it as though it did not exist.

Those ones
bothered enough to leave all this
for emptyness
find that is all there ever was
and they are it.
So returning to form
as a portal
to the mysterious Way,
they face awareness
naked in the mirror.

Wanting nothing
is still wanting somthing
which is nothing.
Yet getting nothing
takes knowing somthing-
that only when wanting is forgotten
is nothing realized.
Trying to remember everything
is to forget nothing
so is always missing somthing.
Finding nothing
is remembering that
there is nothing left to get,
thus having nothing
is wanting everything
while remembering
it is already yours.

Just as somthing real may happen in the world
and appear in nobody's dreams,
so might sombody experience
an invisible dream state with total realism.
Just as ten thousand beings
sleeping inside the one world they agree to be real
may project ten thousand dreams,
so might the projections of ten thousand dreamers
form the image of one greater being
from which the world is born.
And just as ten trillion cells
might dream themselves as one being,
so might one being become subtle enough to
find itself in ten trillion places at once.
