Seijaku

the eye of the hurricane is still
humming silently with potent power
as is the animated stillness continuum 
preceding the emission of heart’s pure intent

thought cessation of consciousness self-aware
holding erect all energies in perfect balance
enlivens the bardo with a magnetic pulse
ushering ineffable aesthetic delight

behold how polarities within mingle
benign bliss beats generating cool heat
causing soma nectar to drip through form
soundless thunder felt by holder of the flame

oriented as such in mood and mode of vibrancy
empty within and nonchalant to outcomes 
fully present in the now continuum 
soul delights in every offering

retracing our steps back to source
befriending silence, poised in stillness 
slowing down thought and gentling touch
our single eye peeps through pores of space 

as an individuated module of God consciousness 
subtler than space and more potent than fire
we transcend limitations of linear time 
both immanent and transcendent 

watching the ebb and flow of tides
we dip in and out of shimmery illusions
from the stillness fulcrum beyond space time
we fully partake of and then release each embrace

            ~ leaving behind no residue

Yes, Eckhart speaks well. His famous book is, The Power of Now. He is active on YouTube. You may also enjoy Rupert Spira, Aaron Abke, Mooji, Christopher Wallis, Igor Kufayev, Sarvapriya Nanda and many others. Insights of other seekers are useful directional indicators.

This one is quite philosophical and deeply spiritual and shows how powerful seijaku can be, if we can achieve it.. Congratulations on your first place in the contest.
