A Musician's Physics

So, since all matter
is none other than energy,
a musician like me
would pick sound
as his energy,
so sound has characteristics
like frequency,
the high or the low,
and amplitude,
the loud or the soft,
and duration,
the long or the short,
and timbre,
the energy color,
so this wave
is what a sound is,
so any differences
in any of the characteristics
produces a different thing,
so that's probably
what the universe is,
a big note
which contains
all notes.

Zen Contemplation

Most Zen practitioners
wouldn't recommend it,
but I practice
Zen contemplation,
which is a practice
that I do,
sitting in a chair
or on a sofa,
where I remain
in the first stage
of Zen,
which is the stage
of thinking,
and I allow myself
to think of anything
that comes up,
but I try
not to get angry,
depressed or sad,
and try to practice
the power of positive thinking,
so, in my head,
there is music,
which I try to keep going
with the Great Dharani
of the Heart Sutra,
and since
I hear voices
arising in the mind,
my ego talks
to them,
in a kind of conversation,
so that is the main part
of my Buddhist practice,
and I do it
in order to change
my depressed chemistry
in the body/mind
into an uplifted chemistry.

The Good/Bad Pill

I have discovered
a new medicine
that acts
as a mood stabilizer
and an anti-depressant,
and it is called
the good/bad pill,
and it requires
no prescription
and no doctor,
so if you
are down and depressed,
just think
that this is a good/bad world
and you are a good/bad person
and everybody else
are good/bad people,
and I mean
good in the sense
of liking it,
and bad in the sense
of not liking it,
so if you think that,
your depression
will probably lift,
and your mood
will probably improve,
as I know
because I have been taking
the good/bad pill
for awhile now,
and I feel
much better.

Normal

The way
that most doctors,
hospitals, family
and friends
have tried to help
and heal
people with severe mental problems,
like schizophrenia and bi-polar,
is to try
to get such people
to be normal,
to follow the normal way,
but such people
are not normal
because they have
a fundamentally different kind
of chemistry
than what I would call
normal,
so it's the old
square peg
in a round hole thing,
so I think
that the only way
to help and heal
someone with these severe mental problems,
is to point out the way
that is their way,
no matter how eccentric
or strange,
but the problem then arises
that society
can't usually accept
someone who is that different,
so many of us
with these difficult problems
have to leave the world
in a sense,
much like a nun
would join a convent.

The Art Process

The art process
begins with a concept,
then the concept
is realized
and the realization
is documented,
then the documentation
is distributed
to a place
where it is displayed,
and the documentation
has a form
which expresses something
that acts
as an instrument
to bring about
a like
or a dislike
in the observer,
and then
the next step
may be
buying and selling,
and this process
applies to many other
aspects of life,
so cool.

Is It Good?

Zen has
all these ways
which it thinks
can help
to make life good
for people,
and they involve
a lot of tricky
brain tricks
that make people think
that everything's good
and that
they are in
Nirvana,
but I have found
after about
forty years
of studying Zen,
that when life is good,
indeed,
life is good,
but when life is bad,
life is just bad,
so, it's the same
as I always knew,
right from the beginning.

I Have A Disease

I have a disease
which is called
BDS
or Bad Day Syndrome,
and it is caused
by BM
or Bad Moods,
and I think
we all know
about this disease
and we probably
all have it,
and the only cure
is time,
but even that
doesn't work,
because once time cures
your bad mood,
and you are in
a good mood,
time turns it back
into a bad mood,
so drugs and medicines
can help,
but they are dangerous
and should be taken
with great caution,
and they don't work, really,
anyway,
so the ancient wise ways,
like yoga, Zen, and qigong
can help,
but they don't work,
because their effects
disappear
as soon as you stop
doing them,
with only a little curative power
that lasts,
so the new wise ways,
like tapping, bio-energetics, and reflexology
can help,
but they work
just like the ancient wise ways,
so time
is the only answer,
but that doesn't work
either.
