Hay-Ku of the Day (What Can I Be?)

Can "I Be" other
Than the "Conscious Aliveness"
"I Am" Here and Now?

Can "God Be" other
Than the "Conscious Aliveness"
"I Am" Here and Now?

[Rich Note: (Photo Caption) Vibrating Oneness; An abstract drawing of inter-penetrating, expanding circles in a Conscious Field of Aliveness similar to "multiple ripples" in a single pool of water; Companion haiku: How can I ever Be other than the Conscious Aliveness I Am.]

To throw a few more "conceptual logs on the fire," Linda, what is Being pointed to in this pair is that "God," as a concept of Being other than the "Conscious Aliveness I Am," can only be a "mentally self-projected" idea of God -- as the Supreme, Relatively Unknowable, Ultimate State of Being -- and so only a “graven image” thereof (assuming that the God Being referred to is "The One, Non-Dual, Absolute One").
