Unseeking Seeker Poet Free verse

So Spake Simple Simon

the subset of a set
cannot step outside it
unless it first disappears 

a fish caught in a net
cannot escape entrapment 
unless it becomes the water element 

likewise we cannot know God
unless we first extinguish our ego
completely relinquishing lower mind

Lin Lane May 11, 2023 at 8:42 AM It’s the meek who have God’s ear, not the haughty. A good reminder, Seeker. Unseeking Seeker May 11, 2023 at 9:30 AM Thank you, Lin. Not only be meek (humble) but extinguish the identity (ego) of the entity (us) completely, which requires us to abide in a continuum of inner silence.
