Non-duality

This is an old poem written sometime in 2018 or so ~ On first glance We ... Meaning our consciousness In its unconscious form Knows only duality Separateness Ego This knowing Of duality Is the truth For unevolved consciousness For, on the surface That is what Is cognised By it When dormant consciousness Chooses to explore the internal Voluntarily After self realising After fully engaging in duality In the domain external Which is natural Since senses are outwards And so self-realising Recognising Accepting Fully The futility Of finding enduring happiness In the duality Which is all That the ego offers It voluntarily shifts attention Inwards By employing Free will The method Is simple Evident Clear Requiring elimination Shifting of attention From all that is externalised Meaning thereby Attachments Its fears & desires Self serving thought It’s corresponding emotions And actions Which was the illusionary all Which is why The attention shift By unawakened consciousness Needs to be Voluntary To be enduring And so There being no way No designated path Since each consciousness Has had different experiences Stored in memory Recalled often Forming patterns Grooves of habit Addictive And desires having momentum Gained over time Of Frankenstein proportions Yet The way is simple And to be walked alone With divine assistance Not by doing But in non-doing Simply erasing Negativity The toxins reduced Attention to ego reduced What remains ... Let us call it For the sake of convenience And also logically Since the self as we knew it Is not, since ego is not What remains is ... Non-self A non-doer Internalised Although what is internal Eternal Is as yet unknown To consciousness Now more attentive to Non-self And so Non-self Being silence Stillness Just is Attentive without effort Focused without strain Since there is no doer Who may apply Effort or feel strain In these unchartered waters If patience holds true Having voluntarily chosen To explore the internal Then the voids within fill With divine energy Automatically Drawn in by the magnetism Which always was But now active By virtue of negativity erased The dirt removed From consciousness Ecstatic & aglow One with the flow Consciousness ascends But then again descends When ego Reels it back in And in this way The pendulum swings Left to right Right to left Slowly but surely Oscillations slowing Centring In time Onwards Or rather, deeper within The divine love attribute Is embraced Imbibed Assimilated Then In timeless time Duality converges Into singularity Oneness Which we see Which we become Which we always were In timeless time This is the journey From duality To non-duality For the dormant consciousness Now conscious, self-aware Having seen Cognised Known Oneness Non-duality In stillness
