Clever Things

We are very clever creatures who can skilfully create all sorts of beautiful things for others to admire – and there’s the rub*. We become proud of recognising others achievements – even the spiritual achievements of others, where we become a copy of a copy. It may be a very good copy, but it’s still an imitation rather than the real thing.

The real thing isn’t of earthly or mental beauty. 
It is our reality of pure consciousness
– the insight of the light of clarity.

There is nothing clever about this.
It’s being quite ordinary – commonplace and unremarkable. 
In its completeness, it is orderly.

*’there’s the rub’ from Hamlet by Shakespeare, means there’s the conflict, the problem.
