I think therefore I am
- it is true
that Thought created 'I'
- in the same way
Thought creates all our perceptions
'Impoverished' is a state of mind
The Dalai lama - had to flee his homeland
This Simple Monk who's possessions consist of basics;
robes, spectacles, mala, bowl
Tenzon Palmo has 'nothing'
In a similar situation
most would see themselves as paupers
and experience Lack
These beings
the Dalai Lama, Gandhi...
who cleave not to material power
have the power
they never use force
the ego
is mortal
so when the body is threatened
instinctual fight/flight sets in
From a spiritual perspective
the less we resist
the more we let go
go with the flow
accept/surrender
the more we surrender
the less we fear
the more obstacles are removed
from who we truly are
... this is how 'we' disappear
Om shanti shanti shanti
The thief left it behind: the moon at my window - Ryokan

thoughtless (or what Thought did)
Dalai Lama and so many others 'lost everything'
yet never feel impoverished
to change the world
the more we develop
the less fear we experience
