“That which has form is not real
Only the formless is permanent
Once this is known
you will not return to illusion”
A koan, a quiz
Let us begin by saying it like it is
We bleed, we experience pain
We live through loss & gain
If a dream within a dream ad infinitum
The dream is real within the continuum
Beginning thus with a contrary view
Let us rotate polarity to live anew
Thought rested in intuitive stillness
The external replaced with Divine connectedness
As oscillations slow down
Fears & desires drown
There is felt within a definite consciousness shift
Magnetism within rising that does uplift
The essence of our being at the core
Enlivening us with ineffable bliss we never felt before
Our being-ness thus in permanence in stillness
Whereupon we recognise the eternal attribute of formlessness
The external being ephemeral
The internal being eternal

Verse revisited on 23-October-2021
Setting aside speculation
We make void, our orientation
Taking consciousness as aliveness
Recognising delusion of separateness
Why then negate this offered experience
So we celebrate play of illusions in innocence
In, within but not of the the turbid world
We meld with bliss currents unfurled
Moment to moment, love entwined
Vaporised, nothing to be divined
