Notes About The Poem

Tell It Like It Is

Within this vast Universe Each limited entity sings it's verse But who we really are, we do not know So let us find out together, in stillness slow We are bestowed with senses five and mind However, we are restricted and confined Moreover body dies, subject to decay Are we merely feeble form of clay Bemused by illusions, fears nonplus Luckily, lofty beings walked among us Jesus, Buddha, ascended masters, saints All teaching how we may transcend constraints The teaching is simple: God is and He is good Love is the tool by which He is understood The body's ephemeral, soul is eternal To know God, live a life internal Given that God is omnipresent He must then be within us resident Silencing thought flow din, let us tip toe in Surrender and so allow the play divine to begin At first nothing happens, for we are not quite still Unless we are empty, we yet retain egoic will Slowly, our erst fears and desires recede We follow, letting conscience lead With head and heart, hand in glove Thoughts words, acts aligned with love Rekindled is the glow of childlike innocence Which releases within us a blissful luminescence Life will pose challenges for we are here to learn That love is the flame in which all sins burn Sin itself being caused by ignorance Replaced by a sublime fragrance In timeless time, we vaporise Beholding each breath in surprise Feeling God's life force pervade our form Ever present rapture of bliss magnetism warm Consciousness expands, we see God within all The manifest Universe, is this bliss squall As a child of God, we too are His light Known when awakens inner sight 27-October-2022 Tell It Like It Is Poetry Contest Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose

Yikes! I just saw my glaring typo--proviking! I mentioned Jesus because I'm a Christian. :-)

Seeker, my friend, the imagery you portrayed is amazing, and the rhyme you created is well put together. Your poem is really fantastic. Another layer of stunning beauty has been added to this writing by the way in which your carefully chosen words flow together with the excellent metaphors. Thanks for your contest placement.

Kybalion ~ as above, so below, Hermetic wisdom. The kundalini (divine energy/ our consciousness) rise from root to crown is definitive, then polarity balance of male/female energies, descent to heart, resulting in bliss. The entire process is ‘seen’, felt and experienced within, here, now, in the body, not somewhere in outer space

reality aspects, male/female etc, be as probability opposites .....just metaphoric observations for a mental order made of differences in the infinities of an infinite cosmos for a 4d reality being....of/as a kinetic universal time... ...the opposite be the unseen (+/-) potential that <---> to be within a seen kinetic (+/-) being........stans sand

Upon divine union, male and female aspects become one. Google Ardhnarishwar. I’ve penned several poems on Ardhnarishwar, which you can browse through if you like

Sex=Polarity. Shiva (Male, potential energy, the Word, Om, primal vibration, singularity), Shakti (Female, kinetic energy, manifestation of subject and object, incessant motion, duality). What is kundalini but Shakti seeking to unite with Shiva, both same, seeming separate, union resulting in a bliss explosion within.
