Show me God We asked the monk how to see God It depends, he said, who's asking Surely not mind, multitasking First step is to make world view broad Knowing we’re soul, not body-mind Thus, let not ego cravings bind Gentling thought flow, give love a nod Allow head to meld with the heart Once presence is still, we may start Bliss engulfs us, when heart has thawed Fact not fiction, please believe this Our innate attribute is bliss When we see His light, we are awed Bright light, soft white, glowing within He dwells in our heart; go therein We asked the monk how to see God First step is to make world view broad Gentling thought flow, give love a nod Bliss engulfs us, when heart has thawed When we see His light, we are awed 19-November-2022 Constanza poetry form (invented by Connie Marcum Wong)

Christianity (belief, faith) = Jesus as son of God, Holy Spirit (energy), the Trinity. Buddhism (contemplation, wisdom) = No-thingness, emptiness, peace rather than bliss, stillness-energy, Tantra (invocation, activation) = energy ~ fusion of polarities within body resulting in bliss. All paths, with or without symbols (Gods) make attention single pointed, enabling us*(body-mind entity) to transcend duality, seeing the underlying reality as it is ~ self-existent love, wisdom and power as spiritual light.
