The Perceiving Universal Pulse

Mystical mist, mythical bliss, lucid liquid luster.
Subatomic cluster, episodic quantum structure.
Nonlocal consciousness independent of
our renderings in the space-time continuum, 
in our speed-of-light, four-dimensional conundrum.
Every transcendental transfiguration transforms, 
every preternatural permutation performs,
every episodic state of matter conforms.
Pebbles conceive and receive because they perceive.
Forests rest still and quiet because they intuit.

Waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and pure consciousness
are the four conscious states recorded in the Upanishads.  
Waking awareness moves the photons of existence.
The observer effect is created by intention. 
Omnipresent sentience breathes free of biology.
Within our telepathic telestic teleport we find
the mindful immersive virtual augmented macrocosm,
the beatific rapturous dynamism, the natural algorithm
animating all things. Monistic awareness composes
the particles of matter and light in panpsychist insight.
Anxiety, hate, confusion and suffering are squalls 
of clutter in the body, energy and intellect. 
Turbulence has no home in the conscious Pacific. 
Individual minds are waves in the vast tide.

Carved in timeless rock are conceptual bridges,
Lotus flowers of Anahata, the fourth primary chakra,
Primordial, untainted perfection, heart-centered, and
cosmic sound, free from karmic physical wounds, 
free from craving defilements to attain the luminous mind.

                      Free to sacrifice all, for Buddhahood in each sentient being.
                                    Free to offer great love, compassion, and empathetic joy.
                                             And how similar is such a bodhisattva 
                                                                         to a Christian Savior and a God?
