I don't mind being pitied, which is quite pitiful, but I don't mind that.

 I should probably chant laments.

Heaven is a mental state, not a place... but enlightenment is a place, not a mental state.

Unless you have proof, assume the best.

Women usually want to make their man better and a man wants a woman to inspire him. How come it's never the other way around?

 It's because men have huge egos and women are too humble. Then again, I'm a man and I'm pretty much the same way as the rest of them, but it's food for thought. 

Turn the other cheek and you become a battered wife.

I'm dispassionate about my work. I use my brain when I do it.

 I do it calmly.

Stimming in ADHD happens when you are not in the moment.

You are the Holy Spirit. You, the one reading this post. God is the universe before the Big Bang. Christ is Nature

I Transcended Transcending Madness

 I'M MAD!

If it's hurtful to say, it's wrong to say, and nothing right is wrong.

To turn your tragedy into absurdity is to create meaning in it.

Humor is tragedy, and hurt people hurt people. Ergo, to end laughter is to gain salvation.

You haven't lost yourself, because you never had one. It's not like you introduce yourself and go, "Hi, I'd like to introduce you to my sense of self." You are just misremembering.

 You also haven't found yourself, because everyone knows they are here. 

The Evil Stepguru

Gurus are like parents, And stepparents are evil, So trust your real guru, Your actual mom.

Anything is possibly possible.

Anything is possible, Because you are my everything, And you are possible, And I am something.

Alone poem

 I ignore displays of lack of love,  because lack of love is alone. And if a solitary person loves himself, then he also loves God,  so he is not really alone.

The only thing that's inauthentic about me is that I try to be myself.

 

Everyone has been canceled, so everyone is OK.

Everyone  Has been canceled,  So everyone  Is OK. We're all equally bad.

Thought, feeling, and will must all be aligned to not be grandiose.

Zen Name Poem

My Zen name is "Enkan,"  which means, "Lead Pipe."  I figured out  why I'm named that.  My Zen teacher says I'm  useless, poisonous, stubborn, and destructive. My dad says  hopefully one day,  I'll become a Copper Pipe.  My uncle says about "Copper Pipe,"  "one day... when you're better."  My girlfriend says my constant quoting and storytelling  is extremely painful.  My therapist says my appointments, always make her laugh.  My psychiatrist died of a heart attack at 50. My friend Bob was even sadder than all of this, Until he started going by Rob. That changed everything. John Ahn's pretty normal.

I hope to become a Copper Pipe.

My Zen name is "Enkan," which means, "Lead Pipe." My Zen teacher named me that based on his letters saying that I'm useless, poisonous, stubborn, destructive, and that my existence makes no sense. My dad says hopefully one day I'll become a Copper Pipe. My uncle says about "Copper Pipe," "one day... when you're better." My girlfriend says I should see if I can go five minutes without quotes or storytelling. But none of that is any manner of tragedy compared to my friend Joe Binenzstok. He is completely transfixed by the obsession that this guy named Kurt doesn't like him. Then again, given Kurt's the Zen teacher who named me Lead Pipe, I tend to agree.  On the bright side, my friend Bob has recovered from his wretched pit of a life when he started going by Rob. That changed everything. 

What separates supersurvival from trauma is keeping the lesson.

There's Jews for Jesus, and then there's me. I'm a Christian for Pilate.

There's Jews for Jesus,  And there are people like me. Christians for Pilate.

Jesus broke the bread, gave it to his disciples and said, "You are what you eat."
