Divine Perception

The self-obsessive free will seemingly dormant, envelopes the mind with an unreal veil transient, obscures the ordained pathway God paves, that l need to travel for it’s designed at His will. The unseen glow of the omnipresent light floods my possessed essence, but I don’t discern, for I formulate life’s tenets encompassing the ego in the ignorant realm of fantasized self-deception. Unshackled out of the dark abyss of despair, I take an inward journey through layers of consciousness, perceive in the soul the radiance of divine beacon, illumining the corridor leading to the abode of bliss. After the ill-conceived venture the errant mind finds the gloomy path of introspection lightened, the secret door of the inner sanctum opens, where suffused with divine light the lotus blooms. When the soul shines in spiritual glow in inner space as the unfurled petals of the consciousness flower, in my self-searching odyssey at the edge of eternity I perceive the grace of God within the sacred bud. __________________ August 26, 2022 Contest : Where Is God Hiding Sponsored by : Unseeking Seeker
