”Be still and know we are as He Vibrant presence, blissful and free” ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mistakenly believing We are this body-mind We remain in grip of ego’s bind Until from void, clear truth cleaving We’re here, we indulge, then pause Web of thought spirals spawned That with cloak of love donned We see soul growth as life’s cause Pendulum moves left, to go right Stillness in motion Sans ego commotion Granting us here and now clear sight Open heart and unclenched fist Making ourselves porous Manifests within, a bliss torus If we but cease to resist 26-August-2022

Resistance to Bliss -- the body's desire to Kiss.

The entrance into paradise is narrow and difficult. Therefore we must obey even if our efforts are difficult.

Agreed- Outward/Inward as is Material/Spiritual but ____ Transcendence precedes Transformation which precedes Celebration. ~ "Be not conformed to this world but be ________ Transformed by The Renewing Of Your Mind". - The Bible; Rom: 12:2

No, not by negation but celebration, rotating polarity of outward senses, inwards

It's an interesting parallel; i.e.; finding God by divorce of the senses.

Indeed ~ all that is is God consciousness alone
