Inevitable Ecstasy (feat. Alan Watts)

Now don't try to do anything about this

Don't make any effort

Because naturally by force of habit

Certain tensions remain inside you

And certain ideas and words drift all the time through your mind

Just like the wind blows

Or clouds move across the sky

Don't bother with them at all

Don't try to get rid of them

Just be aware of what's going on in your head

Like it was a cloud in the sky

Or the crackling of the fire

There's no problem to this

All you have to do really

Is look and listen without naming

And if you are naming never mind

Just listen to that

Now that you can't force anything here

That you can't willfully stop thinking and stop naming

Is only telling you

That the separate you doesn't exist

It isn't a mark of defeat

It isn't a sign of your lack of practice in mediation

That it runs all by itself simply means

That the individual separate views is a figment of your imagination

So you are aware at this point

Of it happening

Remember you don't know anything about

The difference between you and it

You haven't been told that

You know words of the difference between inside and outside

Between here and there

And no one has taught you

That what you see out and in front of you

Is either near

Or far from

Your eyes

Watch a baby put out a finger to touch the moon

You don't know about that

Just

Therefore

Here it is

We'll just call it this

And if you will hear

The going on

Absolutely everything of you
