The eternal question - God, no God, maybe God

Made in God’s image, we are living light We affirm since we’ve been, seen and so known We have seen God face to face, in plain sight All was revealed when we chose to atone Recognising the transience of earth life Weary of chasing objects of desire One day we turned our back on needless strife And set out to find God, our heart on fire We began by purifying our heart Becoming so to speak, a child again Deeming all souls one, none standing apart Was our chosen path to be free from pain No sooner we began, thus with elan Holy Spirit aligned with our soul’s plan Holy Spirit aligned with our soul’s plan The kundalini rose from root to crown This happenstance required no middleman All we can say is God didn’t let us down Wisdom of the sages then became ours Polarities balanced, bliss was imbibed Our meditation stretched into long hours Symbol of Om was on our heart inscribed As we evolved, our karma was dissolved With thoughts mostly rested, ego too died Conflicts of the past, were by love resolved We transcended isms, which to us had lied This dream we call life, flowed on by itself In time we beheld light of our true Self In time we beheld light of our true Self Formless presence, standing outside space-time Poised in peace, no agenda on our shelf No mountains remained we needed to climb Enjoying full freedom and self-aware Our Self was immersed in the heart of God We grew in love no sooner we did pair Seeing this in slow motion left us awed As God’s child, our soul’s journey yet goes on God’s desire is that we should be as He Living in the now, with each breath reborn That God dwells in all hearts, we clearly see Entwined with rapture of bliss beat’s delight Made in God’s image, we are living light

That last line is the ultimate! It's quite a Journey when we seek to know God and to be known. You've expressed that in your usual lovely language and intimate thoughts. Thank you for sharing and congratulations! Xo

Dear US, Congrats on taking 5th in my poetry contest. I love how your poem is a luminous journey through the eternal questions of faith, self-realization, and the nature of the Divine. I like how you trace the arc from existential searching and atonement, through the purification of the heart and unity with all souls, to the profound awakening described in spiritual traditions as the rising of kundalini energy. This awakening, where the dormant energy ascends from root to crown, mirrors your lines about the Holy Spirit aligning with the soul’s plan, bringing bliss, clarity, and ego dissolution. The poem’s conclusion, where you behold the “light of our true Self” and rest in formless presence, aligns with the highest aims of these traditions, realizing our unity with God, transcending dualities, and living as “living light” in the now. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
