I sit down and say, and I run all my friends and relatives and enemies one by one in this, without entertaining any angers or gratitudes or anything, and I say, like 'Japhy Ryder, equally empty, equally to be loved, equally a coming Buddha,' then I run on, say to 'David O. Selznick, equally empty, equally to be loved, equally a coming Buddha' though I don't use names like David O. Selznick, just people I know because when I say the words 'equally a coming Buddha' I want to be thinking of their eyes, like you take Morley, his blue eyes behind those glasses, when you think 'equally a coming Buddha' you think of those eyes and you really do suddenly see the true secret serenity and the truth of his coming Buddhahood. Then you think of your enemy's eyes.

When you feel depressed and you wanta go here, wanta go there, remember Mind Essence; the world, like dreams, will never come true. Operate on Intuition, Rest and Be Happy. It's all in your head what happens so you might as well think happiness.
Jack KerouacUse the shadows of the born
The shapes of the world
And pass them before the light
Of imagination's birthless ecstasy
Since life is a dream I think I'll stop eating and drinking so much--do some ethereal daydreaming instead--go in the mansion of the mind and close all the doors, as if I was traveling in the back of a bus for 4 days
Jack KerouacIf he can be call'd meek
who has no wishes
--or hiding who needs never
be found--
or scared who never
attacks---
forgotten, who watches up
the night---
If he can be called "he,"
who has no self
Writes "One is All"
On every wall.
Nothing's alive for the universe is a dream already ended.
Jack KerouacWhen it is recognized that there is nothing beyond what is seen of the mind itself, the discrimination of being and non-being ceases and, as there is thus no external world as the object of perception, nothing remains but the solitude of Reality.
Jack KerouacBut let a perpetual smile
of peace and satisfaction
On your lips
Be a symbol of the decision
To think happiness (equanimity)
Since everything that happens
Happens in your head
Where Buddha and Tao Meet:
Stop seeking pleasures,
Satisfy your natural wants;
Break clean from ambitions,
Escape from the urge to improve,
Be like a kid
And salvation will come of itself.
My witness is the empty sky.
My reward is the perfect blue sky at dawn in the desert in a bird-resounding riverbottom grove.
