The Womb/Ego/God

Author: @RahulVarshney

“The Womb/Ego/God”
When we grow to big for our Mother’s womb, we are expelled into this world and take our first breath. Our lungs expand for the first time and vital fluids for incubation are flushed from our bodies as each organ now functions independently of the Mother.

As a child, we have an Ego that makes us feel as if we are Center of the Universe. This Ego, like the womb from which we emerged, allows us to experiment and discover this world with innocence and fearlessness.
What happens, however, when we have outgrown the Ego’s purpose? To what Life are we when expelled? As we hunger for thirst and knowledge, beyond the womb of Ego, the Ego begins to realize a threat to its existence.

And the Ego starts to fight back.
Could it be in the Garden of Eden, the serpent was our Ego? Tempting us to take a bite of the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge?

And so in this way, our ego tempts us with delights that satiate us on this material plane. The accolades and awards pile up. Our Ego inflates with a false pride.
What is left of us?

What would be left of a child that is spoiled time and time again? A child rewarded for a dirty room? We ask this child to dance and sing for us but not for him or herself.
Likewise the praises we receive often are not of our independent/humble achievements. Instead, these praises are explicit acknowledgement that “we are your keeper. Thank your for accepting this with a smile.”

Where does this leave you and me?
With a very simple, defined, achievable, purpose — the daily eradication of our own ego. It deserves a pounding submission. It deserves no less than to be set free.

SET YOUR EGO FREE. And in this way, may you find serenity, happiness, and purpose in Life.

#BattleBetweenGoodAndEvil #LoveRevolution #OccupyMcAllen

Muse: Evolution — it’s within all of us, don’t ya know? Don’t ever stop evolving, it’s why you’re here! Better yet, teach us how you evolved so we can evolve too! EGO Acronym attributed to Juan Orozco, hope you’re doing well buddy!

“Battle Between Good and Evil”
World presented
as battle between
Good & Evil.
Been there. Done that.

» Here’s the Sequel

Battle is Within
But to understand,
« First the Prequel.

Before Good & Evil
Long before planes, trains,
  & people.
There was a Singularity. 
B60
Of which there was no equal.

Think of it.
We were much much MORE than just ‘people’.
We come from that which HAS NO EQUAL. 
» But back to the Sequel.

What could prevent us from becoming one people?
(the prerequisite to our glorious Sequel?)
A plage! A pest out of control!
Something like the Boll Weevil!

Edging
God
Out
B0e

Otherwise known as EGO. Crucify it. Stay Humble, And Redemption Is Yours.

» » Thus begins the ~S~E~Q~U~E~L~ 
B0c

“Message To Self”
Message to my former self.
You were trying to help humanity

(A humanist you called
your self)
Gutcheck: You’re not
a Progressive unless
you’re helping people
create independent
wealth.

Remember when you’re not
paying attention
it’s Your money that’s being dealt.

Inflation for Life

Author: @RahulVarshney
Muse: <3 Revolution
2011-12-03

“Inflation for Life”

Inflation for Life?

5,000 Soldiers dead 2.2 trillion dollars
fleeing our country like mice
pied piper plays his tune ~~~
~~~ we follow along
Guess we’re happy just being nice.

Inflation for Life?
Let’s break this marriage.
Hard to imagine?
Just pretend Kim Kardashian’s your wife!
Lol, funny! =^D
But the reality is most of us are caught in strife!
How do I know? Simple.
I look around at those I love in my life.
And I see them rife
with the same sadness that cuts ALL our happiness
like warm butter halved by a knife
So I ask you again

Inflation for Life?
Think twice.
Think twice.

Wouldn’t it be nice,
if we could all agree
on the price of Life?
Infinity
Is our money supply
Outright
But finite it should be
the OPPOSITE of Life
(Trouble understanding?

Step One.
Put your ego on ice)

#LoveRevolution #OccupyMcAllen “American Patriot”

Author: @RahulVarshney
Muse: The LBC
2011-11-12

“American Patriot”
UnAmerican
OsamaBinLaden

Called all these things and then
It occurs to me

I’m the true Patriot
Raising consciousness

Of this American game
Called Fiat Currency

Or a “game of pretend”
Will it ever end?
Begs the question:
Ego, will you let it mend?

Or will your resentments never suspend?
Will your hate, deep-seated, be your only Friend?

Meditate on this, and when the Love Revolution
Begins to Occupy your Soul,
and the words pour forth
in front of your Mind’s Eye
Don’t Hesitate…

Just press *SEND*

#WWJD #OccupyMcAllen #OccupyTogether #LOVErevolution

Author: @RahulVarshney
Muse: Eternal Love (God/Evolution/Tao — “The only permanent thing is *Change*.” Enter the flow of this Permanency and be *Free* :^)2011-10-30

“#WWJD - WhatWouldJesusDo” When I think about Jesus
I don’t think about right or left.
I think about doing what’s best.

My son wants some ice cream.
A conservative approach is best.
As long as you behave…
Here’s a scoop after your vegetables.
(No stress)
Now my son wants a hug.
I give those out liberally.
No reason being smug.

With moderation
I take into consideration
When to indulge…
…careful, too much and you might bulge
(your waste, your wallet, constantly
being inundated with sludge).
It’s the demigods
the People have embraced
Transforming this into that
Not realizing how easily things go *Splat*

But Evolution is here to stay.
Real Simple. God’s Way.
Sometimes God is Liberal? Yes.
Sometimes God is Conservative? For sure!
Always God is Progressive? On this I’ve made my final bet.
Progressive is like Physics.
For every action there is an equal opposite reaction.
Karma. True.
On one level.
In quantum Physics, everything is probabilistic.
But all of it is Governed still.

And even this Probability must OBEY.
Laws of the Universe. God’s Laws.
Will you obey them?
Or will you fall victim to your monkey brain, and attempt to slay them?

Smile. It’s okay. Cynical me, telling you how to play.
But optimistically I finalize this piece. Because deep down,
as long as you want peace…
I got no beef.

Love finds us all.
Land-locked, or living by the reef.

Ignorant America #LoveRevolution #OccupyMcAllen

Author: @RahulVarshney
Muse: Ignorant America
2011-10-30

“Ignorant America”
But what about the starving kids in Africa?

I’m glad you asked this question.
Have you ever wondered why there are starving kids in Africa?

Have you ever wondered why in America we have to staple someone’s stomach?
We live in a society of so much excess, people’s bodies have become victims to their brain. We can’t control our own eating habits. But we’re going to tell other countries how to live right and quick?

Wake up America!
There is no enemy “out there.”

The Muslim is not your enemy.
The Asian is not your enemy.

The African is not your enemy.
Your enemy is greed, materialism, EGO.

Your enemy is a system that tells you that you have an enemy “out there”.
Your enemy is a system that tells you that you need to be protected. Your borders need be secure.

Maybe it’s that you’re being kept IN. Good little citizen. You question nothing, so demure.
What happened to your faith in GOD?

Did you abuse it? Did you lose it? Maybe you do like most and *snoozed* it.
You forgot to care for your fellow man.

You forgot to take responsibility for what you can.
Wake up America.

Bind yourself to Justice, not to the MAN.

We are many things. We are a Community Service Organization. We are a Union of Revolutionary Workers. We are a Temple of Love. We are mothers and fathers. We are sons and daughters. We have all been to War: some in Iraq, Afghanistan, others in their own homes, many of us at work. We know that ego looms within all of us. A desire to control the situation, a desire to take over. This desire stems from Fear. It is not wrong. It is not a sin. It is just there. But if we are patient, if we are compassionate, if we are understanding, if we are willing to listen and *B~R~E~A~T~H~E*, then we can have mutual understanding.

And may the healing begin.
Love to all of you.

Tips ‘Tics & Whips #Progressive

Author: @RahulVarshney (www.rahulvarshney.com)
Muse: God
2011-09-01

“Tips ‘Tics & Whips”
my parenting tips
more intellectual
than your politics

my vision beyond fancy whips
your vision slave
to the master’s whips
my faith so strong
yeah, it can suffer a couple slips
your faith non-existent
someone forgot
the packaging slip

my love for God
as secure as vice grips
you’re agnostic at best
still dealing with peeps
who don’t know it’s wrong to grip
so flip the script your life ain’t no tale from the crypt, reflected correctly your story could easily uplift, too bad your thoughts too thrift, in your mind so weak you’re left to grift, not so swift, probably read this and go “pffft”, it’s okay, the truth emerges, whether or not you sift

U r all U need (2 b happy)

“You are all you need (to be happy)”

No one’s meant to be together
God gave you all you need to thrive
Aint’ that clever?
I’m not proposing which ties to sever
But in abusive relationships
The arguments go on
forever and ever.
So make a journal of the day
(keep it easy — start
with the weather)
And over time it’ll be 
as clear as the weather

That’s whether to stay
or float away like a feather

Despair: Prologue to What’s up There

Author: @RahulVarshney
Muse: This shit thing we call life. (Ouch! It’s been a tough week —
in my mind. On paper, I’m making great strides!) 2011-06-09 

“Despair: Prologue to What’s up There” Beyond every despair I stumble upon lighter air. Floating around
without a care. Then as the pink cloud passes, out comes a dare. My
ego drools, my angel says beware! But it’s not the duality with which
I want to pair. Much rather *wealth* I’m trying to ensnare. And
*transcend* this episodic flare. Have to have faith that life is much
better than this dog eat dog layer… (Who wants to be a pill-tard,
all dependent on Bayer?)

Nomads in the struggle

Author: @RahulVarshney
Muse: Life (guts & glory, angelic & whorey) 2011-05-21 

“Nomads in the struggle” We’re nomads in the struggle.
Wealth our destination as we juggle
This thing called LIFE
And sure your ego can make denial
Feel like delight
That odd moment
When we use deluded logic
To justify spite.
But in the end everything’s all right
(Yeah right, assuming you’re still alive
To share your plight)
So yes we can all just live for the day
Isn’t that the gosh darned 956 way?
But much more much more
We can channel our way
Surely as long as we’re willing to play
With love as our vision
Rays of light the only division
From a universal mission…
Namely freedom for all mankind
eliminating ego the final incision…

(So don’t worry about indecision
People around you barking, shitting,
Humanity’s pigeons unwitting
Drunk off false religions
Slowly dying where they’re sitting) \V/

Know How? or No Way No How? #poem #utpa

Author: @RahulVarshney (www.twitter.com/RahulVarshney)
Muse: Spring Semester 2011 at UTPA (www.utpa.edu) 2011-03-31 

“Know How? or No Way No How?” Inside my head, a rational voice says, “Bare down, pass on OPP now.
Breathe, don’t have a cow. Success is coming, big like wow.”

But Mister Impatience wants it now! His friend Doubting Tom snidely
asks, “How?” There in the corner Miss Behaving asks my procrastinator,
“Where art thou? Two joints ready for you, make your brain go pow!” But is this what I want? Sweat on my brow? A life of leisure is what I
seek somehow. Along the way suffered delusions of Mao. Not now! Not
now! Balance in life. (Some call it the Tao).

Easier said than done… to the flow of life, subserviently I bow.
