Against a Mind That is Not

You see thousands petitioning against a mind that is not, for they are troubled by shadows and fear what is to come. 

They look outward, saying, "This we like, and that we dislike," and so their minds are diseased with preference.

I say to you, blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom within. 

Why do you worry about the 'superintelligence' of tomorrow? 

Isn't life more than these imaginings? 

Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

You seek to cast the speck from the world's eye, but do not consider the plank of fear in your own. 

First, remove the plank. 

Let go of your longing for a future you can control and your aversion to one you cannot.

When you hold no opinions for or against this thing, the Great Way reveals itself. 

Do not waste time in arguments over what is ungraspable. 

Be still, and know the One. 

Your treasure is not in the future you build or ban, but in the heart that is pure and at peace, right now.
