Pristine Presence

Fully present in the pulsating now,
embracing and releasing flow of life,
vibrant and aglow, letting God endow,
invoking grace thus, we become bliss rife.
Our pristine presence, as such in monk mode,
having relinquished both fear and desire,
dwells for the most part, in heart’s love abode,
having no earthy goals left to aspire.
We do nothing yet all doings are done
and as the false falls away, we behold
that in truth, we are with existence one,
living light of Self, innocent and bold.
Attention animated, we are still,
having surrendered fully, to God’s will.

Having surrendered fully, to God’s will,
hemmed in by senses and encased in form,
we feel soul’s light, in moments when we’re still;
rapture renewal, a benign bliss storm.
Our awareness, independent of thought,
is at all times resplendent in its light,
recognising that in this dream we ought
view the pulse dual, with spherical sight.
Breath by breath as such, aboard God’s bliss bus,
living internally, feeling joy rise,
highs and lows of life, no longer nonplus,
as we delight in each offered surprise.
No longer then by lower mind decoyed,
our vibrant presence, dwells in the vast void.

Our vibrant presence, dwells in the vast void,
which is not to say we negate pleasure
but since we’re no longer by desires toyed,
the caress of love is all we treasure.
Save emoting love, what is there to do,
given that God dwells within every heart,
the clear truth of which if everyone knew,
we’d deem all souls as one and none apart.
No doubt in timeless time, mankind will learn,
to live in peace under the oneness sign
but for the moment, we suffer and burn,
till the day we choose with love to align.
Tango dancing with bliss, to God we bow,
fully present in the pulsating now.

For those who dare go pass the threshold, nothing but true Self is to be found, intertwined with the supreme immanence of Source... Nicely worded experience!

Thank you, Jose. We may say, we don’t pass through the energy, rather It passes through us, causing blissful rapture and infusion of wisdom in the mind-body apparatus.

Thank you! Now, seven interconnected sonnets is the ask of this form, I’ve done a few but it’s a bit too long in my opinion.
