Notes About The Poem

Self-Hypnosis

To feel fully, we enter trance Ego then leads us on a dance Cajoling heart to fuel desire We chase illusions till we tire Choosing vibrance of nonchalance 14-February-2022

Hi once again. I just came back to say I am sorry if I gave my own interpretation or intake and that perhaps it was different from your thoughts or intent. Thank you for pointing that out. I meant no disrespect to your work and entry. Truly. Have a wonderful night. (smile)

No, no, not at all! :) We each interpret symbols as of subconscious mind’s leaning. If subject and object merge, all that is, is the aliveness of awareness, unfettered and boundaryless, one with God-consciousness. Duality manifest by its projection on mind induces hypnosis … like a lucid dream

Hello Unseeking. Well I'm in. I'm all for self hypnosis if it brings on the dance and any and all beautiful illusions even for a moment until we reach reality once again. I very much enjoyed your entry and thoughts. Enjoy the day and poetrysoup as well.

What is implied is that we’re already hypnotised by the environment. That’s why we flit from one object of desire to another. Once desires cease, our emptiness is filled by divine grace, bliss, Holy Spirit … give it any name.

Hypnotising yourself sounds like a way to escape from reality. We chase illusions till we tire. Beautifully penned. Thank you. Take care. Shirley

The reality we speak of, all that is manifest, is but a lucid dream, in which we are both the dreamer (subject) and the dreamed (object). Meditation de-hypnotises us … in timeless time
