so this guy walks up to me
and says....
your RIBOSOMAL TRNA THYMINE COMPLEX is spectacular!
You win a million dollars!
yea,
right
in reality
a moment of lust
with a biological pleasure similar to
shitting out that marbleized steak
or pissing out a big gulp
created a DNA concoction that became me
generally this is called conception
or sex
or whatever you like for a definition
I like the shit-piss pleasure comparison
(but that is just me)
so anyway
I am here
having this shit-piss inspired DNA
and no one is going to give me any prize based on it
no million dollars
no not here, not now, not for me
all my DNA proves is that I am human
it created the instructions for my body and my body alone
so...I have a body
and this is where the mistake lies
this body does not belong to anyone
not my parents, not me
it belongs to this mystery of evolution
that perpetuates based on shit-piss pleasure
I am a link in a chain
I am not the link before
not the link after
and not the chain
I am a place holder only
a carrier through time of the will power of genetics
or the will to life
so
basically
fuck you
and fuck you
and fuck you
and fuck you
fuck you pissers and fuck you shitters
fuck my parents and any relative that claims power over me
I am not yours
you do not own me
I didn't ask to be yours
you did not wake up one day and say
"I think I will benefit the evolutionary perpetuation of the will to live"
no
you mother fuckers were only considering your own fucking selves
what you wanted
and you can't have me
I belong to everyone

IT
IT
it is waiting for you
it is more patient than you
and your it is not my it
your it is your it
but they are similar
here to remind us...
one way or another
our time is short
it is waiting for you
it is more patient than you
and your it is not my it
your it is your it
but they are similar
here to remind us...
one way or another
our time is short
Body Says "NO"
any person who has told his body one thing
and his body said, "NO"
understands
right and wrong
are not ethics questions
are not philosophy
and his body said, "NO"
understands
right and wrong
are not ethics questions

Know Your Enemy
I have not only
not
loved my neighbor
I think I am am afraid of him!
he is out to take my money,
i think
or to gain my consciousness
to bend me to his will
change me

It is all there before us
as a grand buffet
right at our fingertips
this life
we all dine at the same table
this world that bore
so many different souls
as a grand buffet
right at our fingertips
this life
we all dine at the same table
this world that bore
so many different souls
how it works
you just don't know
how many prayers you didn't have to pray
you just don't know
just how close to disaster you were
the breath of the wind carried you
so light
you didn't even feel it
how many prayers you didn't have to pray
you just don't know
just how close to disaster you were
the breath of the wind carried you
so light

52 Cards
reality one:
Normal Waking State
realm of action-reaction and interaction
reality two:
Dream State
realm of essence creates material understanding
The dream state uses imagery of the walking state
to relate ideas and feelings.
Literally,
You feel it, you see it in dream imagery
a mine of thoughts and emotions
but there is one more
reality:
this one we will just call the
"unproven"
it is to sleep as sleep is to waking
it is another layer
erase your body
your thoughts
your feelings
and there is still something there
we don't know what to call it
but clearly we are playing
with more cards
than are in a deck

Blessed are the...
Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, Saying :
"I am God, pray to me and build me temples"
or not?
I say no
he said
not forgotten are those who suffer in the name of being true
and those that bring peace, are pure in heart, and suffer for the truth
they will not be forgotten
instead
they will be called sons of God
they will see God
and will make theirs the kingdom of heaven
I would say, not a bad description of what is going on here
and not a bad description by the man about the man himself
a sort of secret code
a message encrypted
to those that understand
love and be nice

Jesus Book
Why did Jesus never write a book?
For someone of great clarity
who would surely know
as people misunderstood him
they would misunderstand his teachings
I would write a book
I mean
for the sake of being clear
but there must have been a reason he didn't
Jesus had the option of writing a book
but didn't
it was a conscious choice
not only that
but having that clarity Jesus had
he never mentioned a book would be written in his name
never said, follow my book
read it
remember it
no no
no
he turned to his friends
and loved them
with compulsion
he knew the secret was not understandable
only by heart alone is it clear
and he spent his live trying to reveal that secret
humanity is passed person to person
not by knowledge
but by love

so we have a system
to succeed
you take more than you need
this creates successful rich people
and unsuccessful poor people
then the rich take their money

Proper Currency
if you have
I don't
the scarcity principle of economics
but this is a mistake
it is accounting in a invalid currency
instead-
you have and I have
not two halves
but two wholes
and a sum that is more than two wholes
then my friend
you will be selling the right wares
you will be accounting on the proper currency

is there a category missing?
yea, me
I will make my own category
"I don't give a shit"
yea
that is me
I don't care
my objective
is not to get to heaven
like I said,
I don't care
my objective it to bring heaven here
on earth as in heaven
that is my power
I have no power over heaven
that is not my territory
entry and exit are not my choice

Evolution Clairified
scientist are looking for lucy
that magic link
between
animal and man
theologians are looking for
that divine moment
when the breath of life was
inspired in the animal
and souls were born
but I tell you
no no
not it
just not it
it is not genetics
it is not prayer
it is
and I will tell you what it is
it is
the moment we began to live for the communal
even above the self
self preservation parallels preservation of all
that moment
contains evolution
lucy is not to be found
prayers are not enough
because
we have not arrived yet
we have not crossed over into our destiny
our full potential is evolving
but has not arrived yet
don't let evolution be genetic errors
evolution is now in our hearts
it is ultimately a choice

Translation
when my mind translates to my heart
my life becomes frustrating, confusing, and empty.
When my heart translates to my mind
my life seems to be inspired to the pursuit
of happiness through goodness and kindness.
Yet, all I have done for the first part of my life
is train my mind

Perfect Knowledge
I do wish to know
one thing
had I had perfect knowledge of what is important
would these seeming failures in life
be right
I imagine a veil being pulled away
If i wish for one thing
it is to take away this enormous mystery from my life
it is a shame
I must live this life of consequence
not knowing true knowledge
all my attempts at guessing this knowledge
seemed to take me nowhere

It only rains on earth
from nothing you can touch
as if from the heavens
it moves to its destination
fast as the natural forces will pull it
to be destroyed on arrival
is it a raindrop from 10,000 feet
it rains
and all rain goes the same way
has the same destination
earth
and it will die
or be separated to indefinable little parts
that sink into the earth
never to be seen again
it rains
it really does
from nothing you can touch
as if from the heavens
it moves to its destination
fast as the natural forces will pull it
to be destroyed on arrival
i think it is me
I arrived mysteriously
from nothing
I move forward
as fast as I can
but all raindrops hit the earth
and die
yet it rains
and always will
it will go on
and there are an infinite
number of drops
and nobody knows why it rains
or why it started to rain
we can describe how it rains
what composes it
how the life process works
but no man can explain where rain came from
maybe the conditions, yes
but not the why
why on every planet we know to exist
it does not rain
only here
only here it rains
only here
only here we find souls
from nothing you can touch

I am
so much of me depends on my environment
depends on the passage of time
and time putting various circumstances in my lap
I react and adapt
move forward
forget and forgive
but what more is there?
I am more than a reaction
more than things I can perceive then control
there is part of me that remains
I see the product, others see the product
but I am more than a reaction
I am static
I am my past and future
a past and future separate
separate from my environment
separate from my circumstances
this is my goal
this is absolutely my goal
to be my past and future
the part that remains static
the indefinable part
that shines when circumstances
arise
this is the core
that is timeless
perpetual
and without....
without being seen
it hides
it is the part that calls to action
and I judge by action
but it remains
separate
I am everything I want to be
I am all-present
and all encompassing presence
I am
I am
I am
and nothing more
to realize this is my goal

Two things I never understood
two things I never understood
1) Why when I prayed for understanding of divine presence.... all I ever found was the world around me
never did understand that one
2) Why why when I prayed, it didn't seem to make things go my way
and those seemed like reasonable things to inquire about
and to think about
I think most people do
and their spiritual life usually hinges on it
basic questions
and my newest conclusions are somewhat different
for 1)
That is the proof
for 2)
sometimes "no" is a good answer

Higher Power
I have spent almost 20 years contemplating a higher power
And 20 years of research on...
anything....
should yield some conclusions
right?
but none
kinda sad, ain't it?
now I begin to realize
I can
imagine a higher power,
If in twenty years I have not figured out something
means,
maybe I am not so good at it
and that a higher power
is not hard to imagine

Invest
I always thought maybe living for the future
was the ticket
a snowball effect
put your resources forward
invest
in your future
and yes,
things to improve by working hard
for a better tomorrow
but tomorrow is not an ending
and there is always an ending
somewhere
so we will always be behind
only the past and present are guaranteed
but we are spending these
in trade
for the future
which is not guaranteed
this is an investment in our future
give up now, for later
give your money now, make more later
invest
interest
and then
things didn't go as planned
and we all know how that feels
nothing ever goes as planned
eventually
we find
we are not as bright as the infinite cosmos
and, yea
we loose every time
but so we are living that moment
insulting it
saying, "Mr. Moment.... you are not good enough
we are trading you in for a newer model!"
constantly.....
we do this constantly
if we are living for the future
almost by DEFINITION the present is not good enough
and yet all we have is the present moment
and we are running away from it
towards that all-better deal, the future
unhappiness anyone?

Drumroll Please
Along the lines of hate and strife
Walks a man alone under a knife
He took a ram and made it mine
He left the lamb for drinks of wine
He lost his catch
It made him roll
Above the skin
Below a soul
Remarks uncanny
It took my line
Please take this umph
It's not a sign
You feel so angry
You deny it so
You lost the avery
So long behold
Its heavy
Its rusty
Its met with cash
Its rough
Like turbulent
And stings your ass
But a kind wind rustles
sheets of white clean linen
Across a fold
Below a cross
On top substantial pennance
Along a line of armor
defenses take place
The same words ramble
As if needing space
It's a long wind blowing
Might boast because
The lines startin' to showin'
'Bout what once was
But a march commence in its deaf
and a shreak tears the air
Along a long wide road
Where I swear we met there
Believe the lies
Take a toll
Move it on
Remove your soul
Let it lie
Let it sulk
Let it mute
Beyond bulk
Find your time
whisper words
Willow cross
No absurd
Make some sense
Feel it not
You're the culprit
I'm the fox
Makes no difference
Feeds the lines
But there are none
on the inside
Take it home
unless you're there
Sure hope you are
and aware
Walks a man alone under a knife
He took a ram and made it mine
He left the lamb for drinks of wine

Let me explain.. no it is too much- let me sum up
The world resplendant, straining at the seams,
"stretching before uslike a landof dreams"
overflowing, turbulent with life,
with all of its pointless and animal strife,
with its gut twisting beauty
with its shocking variety-is still only a world
among infinite worlds
is only a place
insignificant, precious, in space.
Floating 3 trillion light years away from our galaxy
it all seems so trifling,it all seems so silly,
watching people like ants
worrying, scurrying
furiously fighting over bread crumbs
believing that existance consists of their experience.
Well I tell you, there is more than you can see, or perceive
I've been to places that you wouldn't believe
space is vast, but a mind can make matter
destroy energy, freeze time, utterly master
each aspect of living,
save the world, rule the universe..
and as we're barreling through this breathtaking epic, for better or worse
you're alive, you're involved, you must contribute a verse.
And it's you're choice entirely-
you can choose fantasty, tragedy,
senseless smiling hilarity,
you can choose to act
or you can choose to rehearse.
And each part is necessary-
every note builds the symphony.
The world rests in our hands, but it's only folly
to take yourself or the world too seriously.
We're dust, we're worm food, we're energy and matter
which for the blink of an eye has been stitched together
into a mobile volatile bundle of senses
which, while it still breathes
invariably believes it's the center of existance.
But I can only feel awed and grateful.
Life is real, is vibrant-
life is full.
And I intend to savor the taste while I still have a pulse.
There is simply no time to despair-
it's a crime to waste air
sullenly sulking over the sordid state of human affairs.
Well I tell you,
there will always be madmen, and hatred, and strife.
And each of us is born but to die-
such is life, such is life.
But it's your life, to use as you choose
you can systemize, materialize,
defend or destroy it.
And though some may not understand,
demand otherwise.
It's your life- and you can choose to enjoy it.

Stay with what has no explanation
if you have part of you that exists
and exists only
for no apparent reason
nothing proves this part of you should exist
you did not make it to satisfy a demand

this is where the explanation of who you are

What to look for
it is usually from the out to the in
we are all creatures of input
5 senses
brain to interpret and control
then two hands, two feet, and a mouth
built for the purpose of control and personal survival
perpetuation of our biology
I propose
this is what we are
or are mostly
look for what goes in opposition
sometimes the in goes out
and beauty is released for no reason
and
sometimes we do things not directly useful to ourselves
like giving, like love

knowledge
seems to define good and evil
but maybe a lot of good and evil exists
quietly
deceiving our knowledge
how then do we play this game

Stomach
I used to think I would like to do without the material world
but I now think my stomach is the worst suspect
I can handle the material world
it is my stomach that is the difficult one
without it
I would need nothing
my entire life is built the the sustainability and perpetuation of my food supply
otherwise I could wander the earth with no possessions
no worries of where to go
how long to stay
I would be free
but I now think my stomach is the worst suspect

Josh Land
I think more people would search for goodness
if its rewards were more than personal
but visible
and you could tell what goodness a person has done
by looking at them
and realize you want to like that person
or that they are more valuable as a person
sounds crazy
but that is what we do
in the material world
we buy things to show what we are
so others will like us
or want to be like us
if its rewards were more than personal
but visible
and you could tell what goodness a person has done

Would it all be better?
what if you remembered everything you learned,
made only each mistake once
and always thought things through carefully
growing
advancing
would it all be better?

Seems I am confused
seems I am confused
this mind following this body
I can't be two places at once
no
not really
I am where this body is
at all times
and that seems inescapable
except maybe when I live in another
or him in me
when I feel his pain or joy
and him mine
then things get blurry
and what we are seems less tied to this body

Again
doing something twice
means either
we didn't get it the first time
or
maybe we did get it
and wish it upon ourselves again
means either
we didn't get it the first time
or
maybe we did get it
and wish it upon ourselves again
The truth we started with
every question asked of me
I answer
even if the right answer
I don't know
my answers are great
and I spend my precious time
proving them
but I must accept
maybe some times i am wrong
it is a hazard of life
we are always learning
consistently learning
therefor consistently wrong
or there would be no growth
the movement from really wrong to kinda wrong
this personal advancement
now I have learned to question the questions
maybe not only are my answers flawed
but maybe
maybe
all answers are wrong
maybe the real questions were never asked
and the ones we hear
mainly voices in our heads
striving to understand it all
self medication from our minds
maybe there are no questions
maybe life is not a lesson learned
question the question
and things become clearer
maybe our lessons are a detriment
the more we focus on learning the world
the more we are entangled in it
trapped in our own quest
away from ourselves
and into the endless existence
we are trying to come to
the end of
waiting to arrive
at the final destination
deeper
and deeper
in the world
using out intelligence to fight
win
win win
what if escaping
is not the answer?
maybe it is not truth we are in search of learning
maybe it is truth where we started
and this diving in the world
to learn the better truth
is really a running
running
running
from the truth we can't handle
the truth we started with
I answer
even if the right answer
I don't know

A Reminder
sometimes you just need to hear
the answers
even if you already know them
it is not much to be great
simply remind people what they are
there is nothing more to do

Everything Explained
Sometimes,
sometimes I think there is a reason for everything
fuck if I can figure out what that is
though
what if everything can be explained
by things I don't know
or comprehend
what exactly that is,
fuck me, I don't 'know
but sometimes I don't care
and I imagine all lack of understanding
being composed of love
and sometimes
sometimes
that is reason enough

The Now Armageddon
Is it wrong?
This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.
—Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32
Is it possible something we believe word for word could be wrong?
People have been reading the bible for almost two thousand years
Waiting for something
That was supposed to already happen
the end of the world
the second coming
but it didn't
maybe it is not a Armageddon experience
but now, always
this is it
you fight it
you see it,

about what you are
what you want to be
how you are not your past

I believed you
and i thought I had a understanding of you
you, in fact, are nothing like you say
nothing like you do
you are a mystery beyond all understanding
screaming to be known

there is nothing really to prove
only something to believe in

To my soul
as a baby
I slept constantly
it worked out just fine
not afraid of loosing the time
when I was little
I hated to go
and loose the day
edgar to live
to continue to be
afraid of loosing the time
As I got older
I loved to sleep
getting rid of that day
starting another
fresh drudgery
afraid of being tired of the time
to my soul
sleep calling

To their far-fetched friends either ends of the map

The centre of attention to barely audible
Not even any privileges for the laudable

On the high road to hell we’re birds of a feather
Nothing can unite us like endeavours to the nether

Intimacy
It is not that I have offended God,
it is what I have done to him.
It is not that I have served God,
It is what I have done to him.
it is what I have done to him.
It is not that I have served God,
It is what I have done to him.
Taste
I take a bite and think,
"This is a waste"
I take another bite, and think,
"But my not eating does not feed the hungry"

"fuck it"
because you are an artist
say

you do what you want to do
when you doubt the success of what you do
just...
"fuck it"
do it anyway
because you are an artist
you can not tell the painter what color
or the musician the right note
or a poet the right word
or a priest the right prayer
fuck it
do what you want
you are an artist

when doubt

there is a trinity

but they spoke to the fourth entity
you
and you are inseparable from your brother and sister
all you have to do
is help to bring it to the level

and when you do this, it is an impossible task
but no worries!
it is not about your success
only your effort
effort proves

it is all real and worthy

Divine
its far too easy
to get lost in mess
but its just as simple
to reassess
then its far too easy
to loose the slack
almost as easy as it is
to turn your back
but there's a fine wind blowing
that will never touch
the span of your back
you love to show so much
there's nowhere to look
there's nowhere to be
there's nowhere to go
there's nothing to flee
its a feeling
an urge
a divine line
to be free
its beyond
it transcends
its aloof
its crazy
it doesn't matter
then it does
remarks like yuk
so what because
it changes pace
it shakes the wine
its lost in translation
its divine
its rambled nonsense
insistent pause
its cause for armor
unless it does
its unable to hear you
it only speaks
to the man in the mirror
when you're underneath

How to Talk
you thought maybe God was not listening to you.
Your prayers fall flat
No answer
or else you would believe
for sure
you would believe
God is love
you don't talk to god with words
You talk in love
for example
when you smile at a stranger,
because it improves the world
you smile to advance love
In a sense, you are speaking to love
If you want to talk
talk love, not words
and when you talk love it talks back
after smiling on that stranger
it made you feel better
~Joshua

Life is no so complicated at is seems
there are only two things in the world
those things of compassion, speaking to the heart of God
and those things which detract from the human existence, namely selfishness
those are the only two things that exist
and everything can be categorized by them
there is no middle ground
there is no both
not to say this is easy to understand
no
no it is not
anything you thought other than this
is an illusion
a self created illusion
everything you thought you did for another purpose
was only judged in this manner
so analyze what you do in these two categories
1) those things of compassion, speaking to the heart of God
2) and those things which detract from the human existence, namely selfishness
