Silent Lucidity –explores the phenomenon of lucid dreaming. The journey of a dreamer gaining awareness and control within their dreams, leading to self-realization and liberation. The power of dreams as a tool for introspection and personal growth. The phrase Silent Lucidity refers to the art of saying a lot, very clearly, without ever speaking a word. Facing fears in a magical dimension.

Silent Lucidity Soul Speak


I Am as I Am complete
Though ego opines otherwise
Invoking grace, we feel God’s heartbeat 
What else does there remain for us to realize
                           —Unseeking Seeker

As shackles give way releasing unrest of odious impressions
trade winds blow and billow white sails to a loftier altitude
Spiral shells ohm on a day reborn, under marmalade horizons
As darkness dissipates, tenderness repairs a truculent attitude
                                                                                               
I Am absorbed in an epiphany of unfathomable transparency
As a single pulsation, a strong current, a vital force reminding
of both exotic and familiar surroundings shivering in vivid vibrancy
As sorrows depart alas! unfurling the fabric once shrouded and binding

Images speak softly in purple pearl and fuchsias of every shade
An austere moon dwells o’er lonely stagnant seas, leaving ego to wither
Shadows of the past grasping tightly ‘neath a veil cease and fade 
With unmerited mercy, I Am forgiven, and I too am a forgiver

Words unspoken freeing ever so chaste and elusively unspoilt,                            
from within the womb, there’s mother’s voice in silent lucidity                                                                
I Am the universe that surrounds me, avant an azure sky unfoilt,
an arrantly expansive spirit, body and soul, an ocean of great fluidity

Anaya, dreams are really amazing and I love the idea of forgiveness in all its variations. Have I ever spoken to you about the book, "The forgotten language"? It's all about dream interpretation, but I think you are going beyond that. I think we can enter our dreams while we are awake in a way, if we understand them. It's a very curious relationship between dreams and wake states. The image you presented with this is wonderful!!!

Oh, that system 500. Sometimes the pictures are too large, I think. I'll size it at 2 instead of 3, they enhance much larger. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Thank you for your time and efforts to congratulate my work Thriveni, you are too kind. Have a nice day:) Hugs~Anaya

In my mind that IS perfection. To be forgiven, is His gift, to be a forgiver, is a gift to all man and woman kind. Your poem is a delight to read, with all the beauty and wisdom, that is YOU Anaya.

On our thoughts of forgiveness, there is no feeling like being forgiven, it's undescribable. The unforgiven and those who do not forgive, will never end the targeting of others and shall never reap the benefits, they'll have their ha! ha! moments, yet miss out on what's truly important--Good character. Ty, You are too kind, hope all is well.
