"Two" neither embellishes nor diminishes ONE,
"Was/Will Be" cannot improve nor depreciate IS,
"There" will never change HERE,
"Then" does not pollute NOW,
"Self" never touches SELF.
Does water live in fear of becoming ice or steam?
H2O remains H2O, and its substance is never destroyed.
The I AMness of I AM: the Self-illumination of the Sun.
"I searched for God and only found mySelf,
I searched for myself and only found God."
Rumi

"... And the government will be upon his shoulder ... "
Happy?
Sad?
Mad?
Nothing
is bad.
Just
know
Wherever
you go
ONE
is still ONE (IS still IS)
Government
remains HIS.

Holding A Candle Up to the Sun
Such is
the “battle” between spirit and flesh, an illusory conflict which appears in
the finite sense of mind, which is itself an illusion. The only I
is “He that is within me who is greater than he that is in the world,” the I
that will “never leave nor forsake” us, because there is no "us" besides I.. No struggle there, just IS-ness,
Awareness, Joy. Can we consciously BE That in which all phenomena appear and
disappear, including the sense of a “self”, needing to “become enlightened" which is a bit like holding a candle up to the blazing Sun, in order to illumine
it?
“BE, BE, BE … there is nothing to thee but ME!”

"Antidote" for Desire
I think that it is counter-productive for one
to try to overcome strong feelings of desire or aversion, to bury them or push them away in order to to be
more "spiritual," trying to replace thoughts of a "lacking
self" with those of a "complete self."
"Self" doesn't even come into the picture! All the truth
studying, the contemplation, the meditation, is a preparation for the Silence, that state
which is free of "engagement" with whatever comes into our
field of perception: things, thoughts, sensations, pertaining to any sense of "self". It even comes down to
not engaging with the desire to transcend desire, which is just another
image, flickering on the movie screen of Unblemished Awareness, the I that I AM. In the
pristine silence of the "resist not" realm of Being, the Kingdom of IS, we
allow the Inner Voice to pray within us and say, "Son [child] thou
art ever with me, and ALL that I have [I AM] is thine [and ONLY what I have,
and I AM, is all there is to You
as ME.] IS;
AM; NOW; ONE: the only “antidote” for desire!
