Hey Porcupine,
Cool that you ask that question; I'm guessing it's based in not wanting to see THAT (aka THIS) disrespected, yes?
I would say though that THAT, aka T-HAT  , aka THIS aka US, aka ALL THIS NOW, aka THIS THAT WE EACH AND ALL EVER ACTUALLY ARE NOW aka THIS LOVING AWARENESS, aka AWARENESS LOVING THIS ... is the only .... beingnessing ..... that IS.
Oh .... and ... that "is appropriate", too.
Why do I feel this way?
Well, because it (aka This, Us, I, You, All, No-Things, All Things, etc. etc. etc.) is Real; All That Is Real.
I'm not much about propriety (as some may have noticed ... ) in the conventional sense, but I would say (in the actual sense) that what is appropriate is ..... what is.
This is because what is, is perfect; literally, by definition, and beyond where definition can go ("perfect" just means whole, or complete).
And reality, is .... noncogito ergo unum ("I don't think, therefore I am One"), appropriately real, and really appropriate.
Ideas about reality, on the other hand ........ not so much ..... presuming the real is what we're interested in (dreaming is fully appropriate for dreams; dreaming is utterly inappropriate for being awake).
And, maybe this is "just me", or rather "just lack of me" .... but THIS/THAT, Etc. Etc. Etc. ....... is FUN ..... is *about* FUN; and the way the wordplay Suryakant felt inspired to share with us all ("If I was an Advaitic rapper .... my name would be T-HAT" ~Suryakant ), was/is FUN and FUNNY, PUN and PUNNY .... to me/lack-of-me, anyway!
Reality Doesn't Mind.
When in doubt, have some FUN!
Wholeheartedly,
Kirtanman
PS- Wordplay, playing with words, is so much more fun than allowing them to be our chains.

I must admit though, that my feelings mentioned above are probably affected by the fact that T-HAT's albums are among my all-timeless faves .....
Just as we have, say "Krishna Das: All One" and "Jewel: Spirit" and LIVE: The Distance To Here, and so on, we have
T-HAT: I AM
T-HAT: YOU ARE
T-HAT: ALL THIS IS
T-HAT: IS THIS
T-HAT: IS THIS THAT WE EACH AND ALL EVER ACTUALLY ARE NOW
("Double Album" )
T-HAT: SAT AUM
Though my true, all time fave is T-HAT's Live album ......
T-HAT: LIVING LOVING ALL NOW

yo its like this and like that
the world is pretty fat but its also pretty thin
getting within the rhythm like indecision
is hidden these actions flow free
like old trees when i move my knees to the sound of the seas
that i pass pretty fast while sleep walking through the night
a guy woke me up he said well look at the light
i said what light its pretty dark
he said ur not sleep walking
and this aint a park
i was like oh sh*t and took a nice bong hit
and thats how it goes when you live sattvic
i wake up a four am and i get non dual with it
playing pool acting like after school liquid
isn't water too
i border you kind of like canada
what you gonna do when you realize your the janitor
in my mind each time each day i go away
after seven thirty i got nothing to say
maybe meet a girly or just lay in the say
or some other way
to self liberate
yogis be like um when i pass their homes
opening tomes made of leaf magnets and microphones
that were left in the rain for a four hours
trying to take showers is fun sometimes
but only if it can make my life rhyme
because thats what i do, i grow tofu
enter sadhana randomly like a certain postal
service worker that i know
yo
don't **** with the unknowable
like water i bring it to your daughter and say do you want a quarter
i don't use metal eat nettle with pancakes
and then it breaks up into mistakes like mandates
from seven, one one
living hum drum with alchemy but when they play funky music and the zen sh*t its about to be on
like my position relative to the bed
i'm acting like ned
getting relevant in your head
because there ain't nothing and it never existed
i try to rock the rhymes
but theyre like yo ur a mystic
i'm like i just rock the art because it comes from the heart
drop it to the silence...
and then i start and then i pass it to my crew
yeah you know we get down and then ascending
and if you don't theres no use pretending
rhymes are never ending hip hop doesn't stop
it just changes like caterpillars on sidewalks
this transformation to the hip hop nation is it on a radio station
i don't know frankly, because i am ancient
and i forget many things
because they ain't essential
most of the time its freestyles, kid no-mind no pencils
thinking your invincible
getting cut down for size
indivisible, and they you try to realize
well theres nothing i can really do about that
i'm not mad at you, cuz your style is phat
roaming this galaxy, ain't no cause for tragedy
just me you and the mic getting charged like batteries
to rock out, i remember back in middle school the first time
came over to your place thinking of turpentine
dandelions are pretty bitter
the cold could make you shiver but i hit the guitar you hit the drum
going like rivers but its all changed now
the paths seemed to have parted
though everything has returned to where it started
so im gonna end now and i'll say that i'm done
this is porcupine rocking from twenty ten in the sun
because its fun |
