Not As Usual Or On Being More Like A Dog Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

I have been catching up on metaphysical
reading
and realize that most great sayings
are just that: sayings we relate with.

For instance:

"The victorious have said
That emptiness is the relinquishing of all views.
For whomever emptiness is a view,
That one will accomplish nothing." (1)

or

Indeed the whole world is imagination.
Only He is the real in Reality.
Whoever understands this
knows the secrets of the spiritual path. (2)

So I started wondering
who are these people claiming to know
the unknowable but who in fact
are no more no less than you or I

as there is no one else
one iota like either one of us
anywhere anytime.
Well, at least I am convinced of it!

So why should there be a unifying theory
explaining all in one single swoop.
I like being different and Hence
I'd modify the above quotes to:

The victorious have thought
Emptiness is reason for all views.
For whomever emptiness is a view that must
Be filled for anything to be seen

and

Indeed the world is imagination.
And real in one's own reality.
Whoever understands this
Knows the secrets of the spiritual path.

Which in most cases
when smelling the aroma of apples
permeating the air I get into a frenzy
because I can sniff Eve's South Pole

and could care less if she has everything
or nothing to do with that Time-of-the-Month,
String-Theory or E8-Theory.
It's all blingbang thank you M'am to me!

However I hope to hear from her
a little thank you Sir,
this the biggest O I ever had
and oh my, how big your eyes are.

So what this got to do with metaphysics
or the price of gas is that
until we clear ourselves of abstract thinking
we shall not realize any thing.
