An epiphany

In meditation presence can expand,
encasing the universe within mind,
a fact that signals we should understand,
we best leave imagined beliefs behind.

Consciousness already is, all there is,
which is the reason how we were aware,
that our inner being is all of this,
known if with the vast void we dare to pair.

How can we deny our own existence,
when in direct experience it’s clear,
that extinguishing ego’s resistance,
the light of wisdom begins to appear?

Discover oh hermit, our true essence ~
We’re living light: bliss is our quintessence

"Discover oh hermit, our true essence ~ We’re living light: bliss is our quintessence" Love these couplets. As long as God resides in us, we become the living light. The consciousness of a higher self to lead and direct us, makes us feel secure. A lovely sonnet, dear Seeker friend.

Thank you, Victor. Belief is a function of lower mind, we can believe or disbelieve anything as we choose or are conditioned to be. The actual realisation is in the heart in silence, in a manner that leaves no room for doubts.

'extinguishing ego’s resistance'- to live in divine bliss, to be conscious of higher self. one has to strive for it, that itself is knowledge, that is wisdom. did I get your thoughts right dear poet? profound write.

There’s nothing to be done except to choose to shift from head to heart, internalise attention, slow down thoughts and trust in God, witnessing life mindfully, whilst gentling touch. Thereafter, all is enabled automatically.
