Re-cognition

On an as is where is basis, let’s accept ourself as consciousness as this body-mind, recognising we’re limited and inept, floundering about through life, as do the blind, fears and desires unable to intercept, yet hope that truth of our soul will be divined. It’s clear we need to slow down the flow of thought, if we wish to transcend mind and be self-taught. Just as the waves of the ocean ebb and flow, we observe that thoughts too rise and fade away, so by simply witnessing, we make them slow, nonchalance holding all attachments at bay, whence in depths of staid stillness we get to know, that we’re not this feeble form, doomed to decay. When thoughts recede, our heart not head takes the lead and bliss pheromones within begin to breed. If silence be the way, what is there to learn from pastor’s sermons or a religious text, since only when we transmute in body urn, will the throb of bliss magnetism be annexed, for which presence must choose to willingly burn, that lower mind dies, which mostly remains vexed? A day comes when we recognise in plain sight, that who we are in truth, is God’s living light.
