More silent responses to A Mere Temptation

To his right is a table where is set a bowl of thorns obscuring a flower to represent the integrity of his Simplicity. On the floor behind the table are two jugs of white wine, a symbol of his Wisdom. On the table is his Cup.
He wears a Mr. Perfect double-singlet to symbolize his Seriousness, and The Original Sheik curled toe boots to show how he walks between cultures. And he wears a bathroom [sic: bathrobe] to display his Humor, which covers portions of his Seriousness, and make Allusions to unique and (so-called) dubious religions such as Dudeism. He takes a throne as a seat.

I AM ad hoc ad libitum Samraj sits before the listeners with their backs to their Shadows on the wall.



                      The golden ball beyond the sun is beyond truth and reality.
                                                    Conscience.
Universal love.                                                                                      Selfless desire.
                Beyond itself. Beyond an image. Beyond a symbol. Beyond a concept.
                                                      Beyond It.

                                                No will is true will.
                                            Responsibility is always.
      No apologies.                                                                        No blame.
      No explanations.                                                                  No regret.
                                          No need to have to forgive.
Laughing.                                                                                                Healing.




His first talk done, some Philosophy student asks a question in all honesty.


I AM replies.

People tell me there are areas around the country where people are suffering. I say, so what?
Rather than their suffering add to mine, why not my joy add to theirs?

Everything you've thought, felt, seen, heard, everything you've done, you can't not have done.
This is not fatalism, is not predestination.
  Not quite.
      No will and true will are the same.
Weren't thinking. Forgot. Made a mistake or an error.
Can't change what's been.
Don't apologize. No need to put blame on anyone or anything.
Don't explain. No need to even have to forgive anyone or anything.
            Laugh at everything and heal everything.

Forget the commonplace moralizing of commonsense Cynics, and embrace the commonplace.
I found Sublimity standing under a lime tree.




Some mug asks a Political question.



I AM:



The Left and the Right are correct. [A five-year-old is heard saying, "Can I go home now?"]

   
The Left and the Right are correct. If people have the rights to live as and how they like, they'll be happier and freer. If values are changed or eliminated, cultures and civilizations will loosen and break. There's an easy solution to this problem. The [clears throat] The Left accepts: Laugh at everything. Forgive everything. Heal everything. Wherein nothing is sacred, including your painful history and your precious identity. The Right accepts: Mad Max philosophy, where everything is sacred, even the punks and badlanders among the ruins of your Paradise.

This is all very simple. Even simplistic. It's even possible it may not bring on The Time of the Great Boredom.


  I'm arrogant and proud, I'm self-deprecating and defecating.
 I've got my Hermit's staff, my Diogenes' lantern, my Hotei's sack.
I've got feet for walking and a mouth for talking.
