January (c) Nick Anvil 2006
Jan. . . uary has a few more storms this year
to go.
We have seem the worst of them just
several months ago.
We were in the middle of our winter then
you know
When you laid down and left us like the
purely driven snow.
Jan . . .uary
Jan . . . uary keep the heart fires burning all aglow
Red roses that fill the aroma of what we can know
Open season in the middle of the white icy winter snow
Laying down dreams left by melting streams of verbal flow
Jan . . . uary
Oh bring me back to the open fields
Of words you spoke so often feared
Your presence far and yet so near
In Jan . . . uary
Jan . . . uary breaking all the fairy tales that never can survive
In the memory of voices screaming we will all survive
The dreams that lay unawakened while you slumber through the night
In the crevices of darkness that are waiting for the light
Of Jan . . . uary
to go.

The more you believe you are right, the more you must believe others to be wrong; the more you believe you are good, the more you must believe others are evil, thus you will never find justice or live in peace. It is not life at fault, but your knowledge.
If you continue to accept ordinary knowledge you will always find that there is no good without evil, no right without wrong, no justice without injustice, no love without hate.
If you continue to live by such ideas, you will never see the truth, for the truth is -- there are no such things as your ideas of right and wrong and good and evil; your mind has been so deluded by this faulty knowledge, that these things have become factual and have replaced reality.
Instead of only seeing your one side of the coin, after you begin to shed this cloak of man-made knowledge you will see two sides of the coin; what you once saw as good, would now be seen to be but the other side of evil; what once was right and will be seen to be the inseperable, otherside of wrong, but this is but the first step, for the true nature-of-things is revealed when you discover the three sided coin.

Machina Machina (c) Jan Cox
Ah, truth and reality,
But who can see the truth, and who can perceive reality?
Men have long sought such knowledge and many have believed it to be secret and hidden.
Although it is unknown --it is no secret;
although it is unseen --it is not hidden.
You desire secret knowledge? -- then I shall give it.
The two men were discussing truth and reality, but where is the reality of their words;
where is the reality of what occured?

Two men were once having a discussion and the first said to the second, "I have come of the enlightened realization and certainty that truth will never be found in the inept attempts of science and technology. We must turn our attention back to the words of those divenely inspired teachers and prophets of God."
Then the second man replied, "Well, I have yet to meet a man on such close speaking terms with the cosmic powers, and I can only conclude that man must deal with life and himself, here and now, and must somehow, find his own way."
The first man spoke again, "You are a fool to speak in such a manner. Are we to believe that man is here alone? Are we to assume that he created himself? Are we to conclude that evil and injustice can run their unholy course unchecked? You are deluded by the senses, and you mistake finite substance for infinite reality/"
And the second man rubbed his chin and replied, "I see that the truth inflames your feeble mind. But the foolish have historically been enraged by the simple reality of life. It is useless to speak to one like you about the truth."
