Four Paths of Kashmir Shaivism

Divine enablement open secret
Each revelation hidden in plain sight
Bestowed upon us solely on merit
Teleporting us to heightened delight

Paths are many as of affinity
Spanda: the hum of the ohm vibration
Reverberation continuity 
Pratyabhijna: instant recognition

Then Krama: divine union in the heart
Electrifying Sushumna channel
Purring bliss ignition within restarts 
Kula: each moment divine miracle

Inner awakening fortuitous
Love mysterious and spontaneous

Thank you, this appeals to me and taught me. I always thought that should I make my way to your poems I might learn something. Like you, I am spiritual, unlike you, I am spiritual. I have no need to be agreed with, I'm void of EGO 'Edging God Out'. I'm talking too much. You have 80+ pages of poems & have only been here since 10-20, yi. (I realize you already know that.) CayCay

This is a private enough place to communicate if you like, since no one is likely to visit a poem written in 2020.

I have no practice other than receiving outpouring of grace without offering resistance. I would say, follow no one. We do not need any middleman between God and ourselves. So called gurus are of no use and most of them have commercialised their setups, gathering followers and they often exploit those who approach them.

Silence and stillness is the best teacher, in my view but I’d say go with what resonates. For most, religious ritual is a method to steady heart and mind, which is alright provided it does not make us a rigid fundamentalist. Melding head with heart that inner conflict ends is desirable, as is slowing down in all we think, speak and do. Listen to whispers of conscience and purify heart. Look around, feel God’s presence in-dwelling each form. Make eye nonjudgmental and touch gentle. As we are, so we become. It is simply a way of living in resonance with God’s law of love and light.

OH, maybe you only wish me to check out the link below which I must admit I only saw upon my attempted exit. Should we erase all this? Now I'm laughing ... CayCay

Had to box jump. If you desire a dialogue, soup mail, I guess, yes? That'd be great, I'd truly like to know what you practice. If spirit doesn't move you to spend 'time' with me, that's cool, too. You can't hurt my feelings only potentially uplift them. So, all is in perfect order w/ us? I have things to do & people to annoy right now, but I'll read more of you another day. THANKS ... CayCay

I left long comments on 4 of your writes - where did they go? Maybe Spirit doesn't want us to talk, KIDDING, I feel the opposite. Educate me, if interested, willing & time allows: I'm ignorant as I've focused on my individual journey, I don't know the what and where of your practice or terms. All I can think of is Buddhism but, again, don't know, pls clue me in. I believe in reincarnation, and though I often say/write "God"/"Father", I mean Spirit. If you'd like to know me a bit before possibly educating me, try 3 of mine, 'Cause Regard & Meaning', 'Divine Truths' & 'I Live Zealously Breathless'
