An Aperture
The thing is that we have been educated
To use our minds in a certain way
A way that ignores, or screens out, the fact that
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
You see, it's as if you had a light covered with a black ball
And in this ball were pinholes, and each pinhole is an aperture
Through which the light comes out
So in that way, every one of us is, actually
A pinhole through which the fundamental light
That is, the existence itself, looks out
Only, the game we're playing is not to know this
To be only that little hole, which we call
"Me," "my ego," my specific "John Jones," or whatever
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
If, we can maintain, at the same time
The sense of being this specific John Jones with his role in life
Or whatever, and know also, underneath this
That we are the whole works
You get a very marvelous and agreeable arrangement
A most remarkable harmoniousness
I mean, it gives one's life a great sense of joy and exuberance
If you can carry on these two things at once
If you, in other words
You know that all the serious predicaments of life are a game
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
To use our minds in a certain way
A way that ignores, or screens out, the fact that
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
You see, it's as if you had a light covered with a black ball
And in this ball were pinholes, and each pinhole is an aperture
Through which the light comes out
So in that way, every one of us is, actually
A pinhole through which the fundamental light
That is, the existence itself, looks out
Only, the game we're playing is not to know this
To be only that little hole, which we call
"Me," "my ego," my specific "John Jones," or whatever
Every one of us

Every one of us

Through which the whole cosmos

Or whatever, and know also, underneath this

If you can carry on these two things at once
If you, in other words
You know that all the serious predicaments of life are a game
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
