Wakefulness, The Goal
August 25, 2004
I was studying a text regarding LHP yogic practices and found myself amazed by lots of definitions, which then left me desiring pen and paper:

Wakefulness, The Goal
Relapse into absorption?
The mindless prattle?
Cannot be 'on' at all times?
Life is like that,
periods of sleep, followed by
periods of wakefulness.
Make use of the wakefulness.
Stop doing what you are doing to be blind.
You know what that is,
if you think about it.
Starved vision, no good.
You know what that it,
and you do not even need
to think about it.
But better if you do.
Wakefulness, then, the goal.

'Relapse into absorption' comes from the Left Hand Path desire NOT to 'merge with the Absolute' but to retain one's uniqueness. We see merging as mindless, as a 'relapse' and not the true state of divine be-ing. But, alas, I cannot always be fully aware. I must ask myself what I am doing that 'blinds' me and 'starves' my vision.
If I answer these questions, I will have fresh inspiration. To this goal, I direct my Will. Mindfulness, ever alert to clues, is of its own self Wakefulness.
