Beyond Good and Evil

The purpose is to learn about the source.

Imagine standing
immobilised on a sleeping volcano.
If we hear warning signs the tendency
is to grab any nearby support:
a friend or foe, a rock a tree;
to gaze at flowers, or smell sweet fragrances;
maybe even make believe a fantasy;
or even create a real atrocity.

If the volcano ruptures
some even try to swim
impossibly and joyously.

The wise learn
to surf the lava flow.
When they come to rest
they do so on a lake
fed by a natural spring.

The mind is cool,
though not glacial.
The heart is open
yet empty.

A force moves through them,
powerful yet tranquil.
The volcano and the spring
are from the same source.

Good and evil
are the dichotomy of the journey.
The key is to know the source
from which this manifests.

Though there be
right and wrong,
awareness lies beyond
both good and evil.

Any moment we can decide
to notice, to witness, whatever is happening
around us, to us, and ultimately in us.

This mirror allows us to
both stare at the fire and
walk towards the light.

We come to know lifes journey;
we come to know we can simply watch this journey;
and ultimately we come to know that our mirror
is but a fragment of the oceanic mirror...Osho.

That there be pure good
or pure evil welcomes misunderstanding.
There is purity that both transforms and reflects,
that both infuses into and transcends, and
that is our ever present nature, our essence.

From the source overfloweth wisdom.
