Mansions (A Contemplation)

MANSIONS (a contemplation)

Sit
Get comfortable
Relax
Eyes closed    (for most)
A mantra if you wish

He called them “Mansions”
Those which have no name in their space

He urged    “Go into your closet”
That door which fades
     where ceiling    walls    and floor
                                                  fall away
                              unto crystalline    unbounded
                                                                         clarity
You think of nothing
                            but nothing has a silent voice
                                                                a presence
Your essence merges    is His essence
                                          the essence of all
And in all inclusive
                            there is only one
One    comes at times  (for some)    of deepest blue
                    a globe fringed with swirling flecks of gold
There is music    heard only by soul
                              color realized
                                        in mind-memory alone
Knowledge
     knowledge that many masters have passed this way
I inhale their lingering      blended     spirit
                                                                 and am fortified    
Knowledge
      knowledge that there is universal memory
           and in each tiny human brain    memory of all
                                                all that is or has ever been
Knowledge
          knowledge along the ever turning wheel
                   at this stop    at all stops along the wheel
There resides but a single voice
And that voice
                  those all-comprehending eyes and ears
                                                      available     eternally
                                                                                   to all
