Intermediate Truths

Intermediate truths
are what we rely on,
by employing our mind,
which has limitations,
we’re loathe to leave behind.

Intermediate truths
will do for now dear heart,
since we’re in delusion
that we’re this body-mind,
which is an illusion.

Intermediate truths
enable us to weave
scripts as of ego’s urge,
floundering in darkness,
thus blocking bliss beat surge.

Intermediate truths
are employed by mankind,
who’ve seen not divine light
that glows within our heart,
pulsating day and night.

You’ve hit the nail on the head, Jay! We cannot use mind to transcend it, the knowing is not by thinking but by becoming, transmuting, enabled by grace, for pure hearts, in bliss energised silence.

Seeker, once again you have struck a rich vein of golden nuggets of wisdom - look for the divine in each person. Oh, that each heart would do just that - seek for the "divine light" that exists in everyone. We would certainly have a very different world. Thank you for sharing this truth. Blessings!

We are the light itself, reflected by body, so it is not the ego (identity) in temporary body which seeks, rather, when ego drops away, what we always were and are shines as truth, luminous.

I'm interested in absolute, enduring, unalterable truth. And I'm no longer seeking. Sated and overflowing. Interesting poem
