How All This Came About

with nothing to reflect upon
self-existent light pulsated
renewing itself within itself
ineffable peace prevailed
in a realm without attributes
complete yet strangely inert

one became two polarising
tango dancing with delight
lost in trance, amnesia set in
flawed perception and stupor
became cause of suffering
until souls befriended silence

descent followed by ascent
thus became the need of Self
by contracting and expanding 
by concealing and revealing
itself to itself in a lucid dream
which the ego believes is real
