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
