Seventh Place

Line of inquiry:

“on an as is where is basis we choose
descent of consciousness into the gross
then we rise again following heart’s muse
higher than where stood, bearing love’s cross”

and in my meditation I am sinking down the descent is gradual for it takes time to acquire this skill of awareness and I am in the realm where I am but a seed within my mother's womb there is nothingness but, I am growing and soon I can move arms and legs slowly a brain is complete, a heart is developed facial features have formed, perhaps I even cry I am told that I moved a lot it is warm and cozy and I am in no rush to leave but mother and doctor have another agenda so, I am born, screaming and my journey begins . . . it was a snowy day, perhaps explaining my love for snowflakes I am conscious of the need for food and warmth for my mother's voice and arms but not much else soul and spirit is within me but laying dormant as I grow I am ascending in all the different realms of my body, aparently I smile a lot soon I become aware, cognitive, willful the ascent is faster now, soon I am soaring aware of my body, soul, and my wandering free spirit of self, of regret, of shame, of want serenity, pleasure, and right and wrong my personality finds a path and I am ascending, surging my subconscious and conscious are intune yet, now I can tap into my superconsciousness my cosmic self and my spiritual self I have ascending into the higher realm's of me understanding the realms of hell and heaven wishing to bask in the light of God the Christian bible tells us that our beloved cannot reach out to us, I disagree, I feel mother's touch, hear dad's voice if God can hold my hand then so can my loved ones I acknowlege the belief of immortality and rebirth and this is the essence of my descent and ascent in meditation
