The Nexus of Karmic Sintering

[deci belle]

I put this into a style of traditional taoist  "song" form, but it's actually just prose, it you want to read it that way.

 

On forgetting the relative perspective in the midst of ordinary situations,

Moksha, inherently aglow and quickened by psychological quiescence,

Is your own mind seeing through the two extremes and the three times.

Who knows this to be other than one’s open wisdom by nonorigination?

 

Spontaneity has its aftermath, alternating without loss or gain.

Its perpetual result, ever-ready and awake, is already your own dharma eye.

Yet the model for self-refining work must be ascertained

Through the gradual and seamless process of reversal.

 

Transcending before and after has never been

Some other time or some other place;

Just this being the dusty path of gradual practice

Where the highest good is seeing incipient potential plain as day.

 

The situation as is, before venturing the first thought,

Is the point of departure where one either goes along with creation

Or else rests delusion in the homeland of nothing whatsoever.

On preserving the fundamental, the nexus of karmic sintering is void.

 

Before the first thought, where is the person

Who garners psychological momentum?

Whereafter conceiving self-reifying presumptions,

Potential has already fallen into the vortex of subsuming viscosities.

 

Subject to expressions of delusional entrapment as endless karmic cycles,

Attachment to enlightening potential and aversion to obsessive compulsion

Already constitutes clinging habituation to psychological perspectives.

This is why effective practice is a matter of awakening in the nonpsychological.

 

The nonpsychological perspective is your own mind before the first thought.

This is why cloistered formal meditative routines effect observation of mind by mind.

The deluded conceive this to be pursuit of abstract trance-states, rather than just seeing

Ordinary scenes without conceiving relative notions reifying the thinker, knower and liver of life.

 

Mind is one. The provisional and authentic teachings’ source teacher is mind alone.

Actualizing inherent enlightening function constituting your own mind right now

Is a matter of sustaining sincere open intent void of cause or result in perpetuity.

Turning the light around is just this perspective obviating personalistic referencing.

 

This is the transcendent function of awake without remainder, being suchness without views.

Just this beyond microcosmic, macrocosmic and absolute hierarchies is primal resonance:

Nonorigination as is, without objectifying or denying one’s psychological extremism.

 

Selfless potential unattributable immediate knowledge, open and clear,

Neither subject nor object, not both nor neither,

Is the gate and door to all wonder without remainder: just this

Transcending all compulsion constitutes the Virtue of the Receptive.

 

When the psychological is seen through without being obscured, objectivity is possible.

Potential is preserved by seeing the situation without projecting personalistic relativities.

Therefore compulsive assumptions relative to the person cease to exist incrementally, and

Extirpated psychological and volitional phenomenon relative to the person fail to perpetuate.
