The door opens inward

“We can ascend, if we so choose
Making love and light, our heart’s muse”
      ~ quote by poet


Holy Spirit works upon feeble form,
without employing any use of force,
thus progress is faster, if we conform.

Soul turns inward when heart’s filled with remorse,
disillusioned with the world external,
living internally, changing life’s course.

The fire of desire is hell infernal
but no sooner we befriend the vast void,
we imbibe rapture of bliss eternal.

Benign bliss burns see delusion destroyed,
whence our soul’s light shines, pure and unalloyed.

Yes, Holy Spirit, kundalini, Chi, divine energy, as it is called in different traditions, working from gentlest, subtlest to most powerful levels, all this being one. Delighted you enjoyed, Joseph.
