The Great Refusal: Unfinished Snippets
The Bodhisattva Vow of Taking Up One’s Cross
To venture into the Great Refusal
Is to rage a sublime intention never to cease
The advancing pulse of Emptiness and Form,
Kenosis as incarnation
…
This refusal as the awareness of…’Before Abraham was born, I Am’…Right now…You too
…
Refusing the laziness of sentimentality
Refusing the vanity of rogue heroism
Refusing to acquiesce to binary options
Refusing to waste this beautiful occasion known as Life
And only lastly refusing the Great Refusal
…
Renegade rabbi strung on empire’s tree like tinsel for the All glistening Eye to see -
A bodymind broken over the Caesar/Pharisee knee only to be transmuted as morphic resonating Divine bodypolitic -
Like trying to snuff out the dandelion seed head by blowing on it…the initiation of potentiation -
The Essene philosopher king exiled into the widening Dharmic vortex of wherever two or three are karmically tethered to the Sangha of…the Father and I are One,
For the Divine axe was laid to the base of the Bodhi tree
