Dog Poet Transmitting…….
Since having my life transformed from the ground up… wait a minute; from the sky down… no… from the inner to the outer would be the appropriate terms. Since that time, many unusual events have occurred in my life. It is true that my life has been a nearly endless flow of unusual events but… it’s different, somehow, now.
I was in a dream this morning when the word Barkapur appeared in my mind. Upon awakening, instantly I thought it might be a town in India. It sounds like that. Associated with it was the word, ‘handsome’. That got said a couple of times. I soon forgot all about it. 20 minutes later it appeared in my mind while I was doing the morning reading and it continued to appear at intervals, while I was reading so, finally, I went to a search engine and put it in and found that it was a town in India that had experienced a name change some while ago, although it is still listed. There isn’t much said about it. It was the site of a mutiny a long while ago.
It is in West Bengal so I went to read a bit about that. Scroll down to the Culture section and notice the two photographs on the right. Readers here know that I am a fan of Rabindranath Tagore but look at who is next to him. Well… it is probably a coincidence, if I believed in coincidence BUT… another thing, if I forget something from a dream, it almost NEVER comes back and proceeds to bug me so… I don’t know what any of it means though I did spend 3 paragraphs saying so.
I am in one of the least cooperative states in the union. It is noticeably contrary to Federal rule. I’m pretty sure that is why I came here. Still… I don’t know if I am supposed to stay here for the duration. I suspect whatever goes on in the United States will run its course before it gets here. There may be a little spillover from the one coast but semi-precious little from the other. I hope that is so. I like it where I am. If and when a few million spill into my material accounts, I will still stay in the same relative area. What I am saying is that it would take more than money to send me away. Bali (where I have never been) comes to mind and India ALWAYS comes to mind. I don’t have much of an income but I could manage India pretty well. When you eat simple and live simple and don’t spend your time acquiring physical things, it doesn’t take a lot to get by. Walking through nature and talking to God and his angels is my favorite outdoor activity and sitting, standing, or walking through the house and talking to God and his angels is my favorite indoor activity. The only costs incurred by that are Time and Attention and an outpouring of love and devotion, which is no cost at all.
Life is a playground and that, on the surface, might grant an image of children hanging from the jungle gym and getting someone to help push the merry-go-round; swings and seesaws come into the picture as well. You could close your eyes right now and hear the children laughing and screaming in spontaneous outbursts of prepubescent exhilaration. There is a darker side to playgrounds. Playgrounds have bullies and strange men in trench coats, passing none too swiftly by. No matter where you are in this life, there is some amount of the polarity of opposites. Playing and fighting are differentiated only by the tenor of intention. The nature of the force of affection is determined, often, by the degree of passion. It’s a funny thing about Love. Real Love sets you free and false Love binds you;
Real Love
Love opens things
So love would hurt as much as heal
It would hurt first
Real love-
It would confuse, disarm, weaken and destroy
Everything in its way
Everything that was, in fact,
A part of you
That would conceal
Real love
Real love lasts forever
We do not last as long
until we become
real love
Real love has come to town
Sixgun blazing in a town full of lies
Now is the showdown
The duel in the street
Real love is the only thing left standing
Real love rides in company or alone
Squints out of one good eye
Nails the coffin shut
Nothing got out alive
But real love
Real love is going to make you cry
Make it worse before it gets better
Tear you up inside
Real love-
Who would want such a thing?
It takes the atmosphere away
Breaks all your toys
Burns down your house
And steals your car
But you’re not going very far
Anyway
Real love has got its hands on you
Burns from the inside out
Till there is nothing left
Nothing…
but wide prairie
And huge commanding stars
You’ve never been so alone
You’ve never been so complete
Outside this golden ring
The cities burn forever
And you can never fall asleep
Again…
real love…
It is something like that for me BUT… you never get THERE. You NEVER get to the heart, the small central core of real love, because the getting there takes forever. It is after all, not the journey but the destination so; why shouldn’t it take forever?
People get all hot and bothered about ‘getting there’, no matter where THERE is. They sit in the traffic gridlock of their lives, leaning on their horns so that they can get home to the Formica Life and do what? Have a drink? Watch TV? Get intimate with someone or… something? No matter what they may think of doing or wind up doing they are still waiting despite the distraction, whatever that might be AND the meter is ticking. The sand is running out of the hourglass and at some point, some particular moment, you are no longer there. That is an inevitable truth. I was told yesterday that someone I know died. My friend who told me said, “Oh… I have some bad news.” I thought, “What?” And braced myself. Then my friend told me that this person had died and I could not help but smile and say, “That’s not bad news. I am happy for him!” I really was too. He had been suffering much in recent years and causing some amount of suffering too because of fear-driven anxiety that caused him to say hurtful things to those who loved him. I didn’t come in for any of that. He knew better than to take his apprehensions out on me because he knew it wouldn’t fly and what I would say.
What is it with death and the mischief it causes in people’s minds? Death is a liberating force! The only time where sorrow is warranted is when a bad person passes. Now I am not here to say who is bad and who is good but there are people who have devoted their time here to making others miserable and when they pass, it is not a good thing… for them. I can assure you of this, BUT… when a good person passes, or even a mostly good person, or even a marginally good person (grin) passes, it is cause for celebration. My heart actually made a small leap when I heard this fellow had gone on and I immediately engaged in a prayer exchange with my guardian and an appeal for his soul. I was assured that all was well and that gave me much comfort.
We have things backwards and it is our fear of death that restricts our capacity to enjoy life and the Cabal of Misery Workers amplify this fear throughout that dark domain of the susceptible, keeping many millions in bondage; “Yeah, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil, FOR THOU ART WITH ME.” What should you be getting from that? Make sure that the ‘thou’ spoken of is with you AHEAD OF TIME!!!
My friend just told me that another friend, a close friend, in England was attacked on the train going to work. As he told my friend, “A black man got up from his seat and walked halfway down the train and attacked me. I’m not hurt but I am shaken.” My unfortunate friend is one of the kindest and gentlest people I know. He’s a big guy too so it makes me wonder about the event. Well… he is okay. I prayed immediately after hearing this and was told in no uncertain terms, “Don’t be concerned. He was protected, wasn’t he?”
We don’t get much of that around here and that is because we have the most liberal gun laws in the country. You don’t need a license to carry a gun so no one knows who has one. Heh heh… as a result the usual thugs are a deal warier. I am not subscribing to porting about with a firearm. It’s not my style but I am not opposed to it at all, NOT IN THESE TIMES. I don’t have a political affiliation but if I did I would probably be termed a Jeffersonian Libertarian. There are still a few things I haven’t gotten around as far as being angered by them and those are Slander, Treachery, Betrayal, and Bullies of every stripe. Having studied the martial arts for nearly all of my life, I have a certain calmness in the face of adversity and even though I am older and no longer so agile, I haven’t lost any of the knowledge or personal atmosphere of the training. It tends to work on the subconscious plane and one gets bypassed most all of the time, without the potential assailant even knowing it happened.
If only for the discipline and confidence that it conveys I recommend that everyone get some understanding of the basic principles. It is also fantastic for keeping in shape. One does not need to go through years and years of training. There are basic principles that one can grasp and expand on, pertaining to actual engagements and the shape they usually take.
This posting is really all over the map today, isn’t it? I guess that is going to happen now and again. It doesn’t happen often but here it is… until tomorrow anyway.
My friends… there is no martial art or gun so powerful as the possession of an all-encompassing love. It radiates outward. It creates an atmosphere of influence. It affects everything regardless of whether anyone is aware of it or not. It is an actual path on which one moves. This is Planet Earth in one of its more transitioning and unstable periods but there are those who carry the Kingdom of Heaven with them wherever they go and you can be one of them. Simply visualize that you are IN THE KINGDOM at all times. Remember, Heaven begins where your feet touch the Earth. Love is the nature, quality, and content of The Kingdom of Heaven. Think of your love as a fireplace in your heart and use The Will and Intention as a bellows. Inflame yourself with Love! Burn down the house of your being with the force of divine love and Divine Love will rebuild you in its image! In other words, LET IT CONSUME YOU!!!
IF this is all that is on your mind, or it is the larger part of what is on your mind, your love will increase and if love is your fortune then your fortune will be great and something you can share with all that is near and far. It takes a bit of doing initially BUT IF YOU CARE ENOUGH, you will get past Difficulty at the Beginning and you will flower as Love’s own blossom in this field of weeds and broken cinder-blocks and you will render it all into a garden in your passage. What I say is absolutely and PROVABLY true and I HAVE SEEN THIS. Go therefore and do likewise. What else is it that you are doing that somehow has made itself seem to be more important than that?

There was an old woman who lived in a Pocket.
She had so many children they spilled into her socks.
She gave them some broth without any bread.
And that burned her feet or so it is said. You can find out more at Pocketnet.

Thank you for this post.

My reflections on the poem in no particular order:
“Love opens things
So love would hurt as much as heal
It would hurt first”
+
“Nothing got out alive
But real love”
Real love is going to make you cry
Make it worse before it gets better
Tear you up inside”
>>> The hardened heart would never repent… and the purest and truest repentance is when one cries. If it is hard to cry, the main reason is usually “arrogance”; so in essence, through repentance one breaks his ego (it hurts in a good way). Without sincere regret or remorse God won’t take it seriously and one who can’t repent has no life other than in flesh. One has to constantly repent otherwise he won’t move and consequently he/she is spiritually dead.
>>> Believers in different religions usually try to receive signs, “Lord give me a sign!”… looking for signs is important, however never forget Djinns are experts in dream business! Again the idea that a believer should ask for personalized signs is not out of place, in fact God is constantly testing believers, much of the things that happen to us are signs (Ayats) but we never take them seriously or see them as such. Isn’t it kind of arrogant to constantly ask for clear personalized signs!? Instead we should look for signs that God has already embedded thorough his creation. For example we were just talking about repentance and how a soul is dead if it has no tears and repentance, the similitude of this is the seed of a plant in nature. It sprouts when there is just a drop of water on it, it breaks out and through pain grows and seeks the light of the sun, it can even break stones and concrete to make way, the plant will grow beautiful leaves, they wither away and new leaves grow and through stages it will become stronger…
>>> So the universe is riddles with signs for one who look, reflects and thinks, and we should not constantly ask for spiritual-fast-food from God! The ego/arrogance has many layers and its roots goes down to the deepest and most hidden parts of our hearts and so one such direct spiritual-fast-food in the form of a sign from God could easily destroy us. To be honest opening The Book from a random page and looking for the first word that we see and then trying to making out a message out of it is very primitive and subject to a great deal of error! It also puts you into a passive position. This is why understanding God’s plan and the involvement in it is so important. Many bipolar patients are engaged in making out secret messages from random numbers, like car plate numbers or colors and other bizarre things like listening to what every random guy is saying as he is passing by! This is a mental illness and Djinns as I said have a Dream and Symbology conglomerate! Instead of looking into company logos and what not, why not just look at what God has created and try to see his fingerprints and signs that he has left for us! Shiite scholars openly say that a grown up mind and heart never needs dreams. In fact sleeping is an imperfection, believers are advised to remain awake parts of the night repenting, praying and contemplating.
“Real love-
It would confuse, disarm, weaken and destroy
Everything in its way
Everything that was, in fact,
A part of you
That would conceal
Real love”
>>> I feel compelled to mostly agree except that real love would never confuse, maybe you mean in a different way, after all it is a poem.
“Real love rides in company or alone”
Interesting, so can we get collective karma and collective love and hopefully all revolving around the divine leader out of this?
“Real love-
Who would want such a thing?
It takes the atmosphere away
Breaks all your toys
Burns down your house
And steals your car
But you’re not going very far
Anyway”
>>> Kind of… real love by itself does not break ones’ toys, it can motivate you do to it yourself. …toys are obviously the temporal material things of this world. In fact you have to break them willingly and seek a better company and a better station where there is more of the same real love!
“Real love has got its hands on you
Burns from the inside out
Till there is nothing left”
>>> Ultimately nothing of ego (arrogance & jealousy) should remain.
“Nothing…
but wide prairie
And huge commanding stars”
>>> This is describing one’s spiritual feeling and experience, it does make sense however I can’t particularly relate too.
“You’ve never been so alone
You’ve never been so complete
Outside this golden ring
The cities burn forever
And you can never fall asleep
Again…
real love…”
>>> This part of the poem implies that the poet is alone with the lord and not distracted. Obviously there is one God and potentially infinite lovers in varying degrees!… indeed once the flame of divine-love is lit in the heart, one can never go back. In the beginning winds could blow and put the flame out, however once the embers are formed, those winds can only increase the heat and bring back the flame again with even more intensity. This can be viewed as a Sign of God embedded in seemingly trivial things such as burning coal!
>>> Divine-Love also brings “fear” with it… fear of letting God down! And so to compare with duality in mind we have:
divine-love VS worldly-love
divine-fear VS worldly-fear
divine-anger VS worldly-anger
divine-hate VS worldly-hate
divine-sadness VS worldly-sadness
divine-happiness VS worldly-happiness
and so on…
One side is the real thing, the other is just a shadow. Worldly-anger and worldly-love don’t add on and can’t coexist, worldly-happiness and worldly-sadness can’t coexist but the the divine versions can coexist! Yes, you can be deeply sad but happy at the same time. And so any philosophy advocating “balance” or “calmness” is mislead.
Generally speaking, greatest and purest human emotions manifest in the form of tears and crying, surely laughter is only on the surface of heart! When you see a loved one after many years, such as when a mother sees his missing son after years… you don’t burst into laughter, you cry!
A soft-heart VS a hard-heart. Materialists and chauvinists think that crying is a sign of weakness! Yes in front of your enemy, enemy of God and humanity it is.. and only then! I have posted in other comments what the famous Hindu Guru named Sadhguru think of fear and anger!! Pure dualism of Yin & Yang is really outdated. “Calmness” is not what we should seek, for Sheep are calm too, and an advanced AI with no primal desires can better keep calm and so act as a better Guru! “Balance” is a deceit, none of the emotions are inherently bad, we only need to have them based on divine motive.
This brings another dimension of this discussion to mind, some Christians and Shiites do blood-letting, self-flagellation and so on… On one hand such deviant practices have no place among real believers and on the other hand one can not expect complete Hindu “calm” either.
UK government and The Queen to be specific has been keeping a version if Shiites close, known as the Shirazi Shiites. They openly show their hate for Iran and it is strange that UK supports them and even allows them to to extreme practices in UK that harm the image of Islam. You remember (during covid19) the guy who licked the fence in one the shrines in Iran and provided food for Zionist propaganda machine? He was from this Shirazi cult in UK, same people that do bloody rituals. They constacnty create hate with Sunnis and are allowed to have TV channels in UK, why? because they are funded by the Queen and help create tensions between Sunnis and Shiites.
Always look out for these three versions of Islam:
1- Salafi/Takfiri (Daesh)Sunnis supported by Saudis and Mossad behind the scene
2- Shirazi Shiites in UK supported by Queen
3- American Islam, a version of castrated Islam that is advertised in the region with a liberal and secular heart transplanted in it.
You know the fake versions of other religions so I need not to point them out.
This seems like a proper opportunity to say that Shiites of the region led by Iran defeated ISIS (Stone Heart Zombies); the same Shiites that engage in crying and chest beating gatherings. And I have explained the logic behind it and if you want to see it in action, I have posted some links in an other comment before.
