P: I think the anteroom is an excellent meta4

for the persona, those parts of the brain that

interplay in social relations. Even if " the beyond "

informs and perfumes language, when it speaks

it becomes the anteroom. There is no fixed

position as long as the brain lives.

 

In the Anteroom

by Gene Poole

 

Welcome to the anteroom...

where you already are

 

Beyond that door is the

realm we all speak of

 

Some of us speak as tho

we are beyond that door

 

But if we speak, this is

where speaking is done

 

Beyond the door there

is no speaking

 

Beyond the door there

is no-one to speak

 

Beyond the door there

is no-one to speak to

 

Here in the anteroom we may

speak to each other

 

If any of us speaks with

pretense of being beyond

the door, everyone but

the speaker understands

that fantasy is being

woven with words.

 

Everyone knows that those

who speak, in the anteroom,

are in the anteroom.

 

Yes, some of us in the

anteroom have been beyond

the door. Some of us spend

considerable time beyond the

door.

 

Some of us come into the

anteroom to speak of what

we see and know, what we

have, what we have lost,

when we have gone thru

the door.

 

But anyone who speaks here,

is in the anteroom. Anyone

who speaks here, is not

beyond the door. Anyone who

speaks here, stating that

they speak from behind the

door, is mistaken, and the

mistake will be pointed out.

 

This is the anteroom, and

we may speak here, of anything.

 

We speak of and point to the

door. We discuss what lies

beyond the door. Now perhaps

we can understand, that if

speaking is being done, that

the speaker is in the anteroom.

 

To be in the anteroom does not

imply in any way, an inability to

go thru the door. To speak in the

anteroom does not in any way,

qualify or accurately describe or

explain what is beyond the door.

 

Those of us who speak here,

who know we are in the anteroom,

know that our words do not

emanate from beyond the door.

 

Some speakers have the habit

of speaking here in the anteroom,

as though they are beyond the door.

 

Those of us in the anteroom who

have been thru the door, know

that there is no speaking beyond

the door. We may speak here in

the anteroom, of anything, but

to speak as tho we are beyond

while we are here, reveals a

serious schism in the speaker.

 

Those of us who talk back to those

who speak as tho they are beyond

the door, are typically answered in

words that the speaker imagines are

from beyond the door.

 

Wake up, you are in the anteroom;

here you may speak. You may

describe immense infinite vistas,

you may bawl endless tears of

gratitude, you may rant on and

on about what concerns you.

 

Wake up, speaker. If you speak,

this is where you are; here you may

speak.

 

Realize that you need not formulate

your speech into cosmic diatribe, to

prove you are not here. If you speak,

this is where you are.

What if you went through the door

and you wanted to get back into

the anteroom, but you couldn't?

 

Corollary: If there is no you on

the other side of the door, how

is there really a you on this

side of the door?

The key question is :

 

---- Do you contain this 'anteroom' ?

 

or,

 

----- Does this anteroom contains you ?

 

 

If former is the case, how relevant

anything like 'beyond', 'behind' is ?

 

Are you in the anteroom or

IS the anteroom IN you ?

 

 

Which one is prior ?

 

Which one is Bigger ?

....

......

 

Does the Silence disappear when the

sound arises ...

 

or, does the sound rises and falls in

....the Silence !

 

 

Does the SPACE dies when thing appear

....

 

Does the SKY disappear, ...when,

clouds float by ...

 

Or do the clouds simply rise and die

in the SKY, ...the Space, the

emptiness !

 

 

Sleeping,

quietly, silence, peace, ...the

darkness ...no 'me', ...no other ...

 

.....and, suddenly a dream appears ....

 

Does the silence, the space, the

WINTESS, the Self dies when the dream

appears ...

 

or, does the dreams simply appear and

dither ....

 

....in the SPACE, emptiness, Silence

.... I AM !

I SEE an 'you' ...

 

I see an 'me' ...

 

 

Seeing 'you' and 'me',

 

Do 'I' change ?

 

 

I SEE 'you', 'me', the 'other' ...

 

or, I just exist ...

I see Nothing ...

 

 

But, have I 'gone' anywhere ...

 

Does the SKY need to go somewhere for

the clouds to appear ...

 

Does the WITNESS need to die for the

dreams to appear ...

 

SCREEN is empty, screen has pictures ...

 

 

Does the SCREEN need to go somewhere

for the pictures to appear ...?

 

 

I think ...

 

or, I just exist, ...I AM ...

 

 

Does the THINKER need to die for the

thoughts to appear ...?

You see " things " coming and going ...

 

Now, ask " where " are they coming and

going ...

 

If it is " you " who is coming and going

.....

 

" who " is THAT which SEES this coming

and going ...

 

" who " is that which SEES this 'Beyond'

and 'Behind' ...

 

" Where " is the Beyond ...

 

" Where " is the Behind ...

 

 

Remain the one that SEES ...

 

Remain the ONE that is STILL ...

 

The WITNESS, the SPACE ...

 

 

....and, you are ALWAYS speaking from

the SAME Place ...

 

The Place ...that is YOU !

 

 

The Sun's LIGHT filters thru the clouds,

....or, the tree leaves ...

or thru curtains ...

 

Yet, the SUN doesn't need to move ....

The SUN can and does shine from the

SAME place ...ITSELF ...
