a flower regardless of its evolution
never escapes what it is, a flower
so too the animals
and the sapiens that have a unique,
inherent ability to be self aware
though no qualification is required for the self aware
as awareness qualifies itself

to what end/purpose does each thing
aspire or evolve? simply to be exalted as itself,
as in that exaltation is completion fully
real-ised, in the sense of reality

a perfected rose cannot help but be perfected
as all other non-cognisant things,
a pig wallowing in shit is in instinctive bliss
as it was born to it and does not question

yet sapiens differ as they question everything
including themselves to arrive at their perfection
which is not forced by nature,
sapiens must be free to rise or fall
in order to attain to their perfection
so sapiens have chosen to be simultaneously
connected and disconnected with all things
including the progenitor of all things

the creator god of ancient Egypt
masturbated existence into existence
that lone god had no choice, it relied on itself
to create everything created then ceased its masturbatory
creation in order to develop into something greater than it once was

alone initially it created companionship to evolve and is personified as man
which entity must seek initially within prior to
seeking that which is created without, which in essence is itself

the above is that which is below,
and the inner is that which appears as the outer,
herein is the trap and path to liberation or bondage
for that entity

mindlessness serves the natural world well as its program is perfect
and harmonious by nature, what need of thought and cognition?
however, a conscious self-aware being is challenged
as its perfection must be discovered or achieved
to be appreciated, yet sapiens are also able to draw on the same process
if they choose, the greatest knowledge is therefore emptying –
in that sense sapiens rely on nature to lead them to perfection
yet a conscious decision must be made to accomplish that task,
and do not imagine that process is simple as we have thought and cognition
to liberate or enslave us, we are stuck with the two-edged sword
of self-awareness as potential gods if we successfully achieve,
or pigs wallowing in shit if we fail

so do not trouble yourself with thought as it is circular, the origin
and end is thoughtless yet fully aware as consciousness without learned content,
we rely on its indelible imprint alone
