The vaporised self

To be self-taught, I rested thought
and saw a light, a growing dot,
into which I disappeared,
being by God’s hand so steered,
transformed thus as living light,
heart pulsating with delight! 
To be self-taught, I rested thought
and saw a light, a growing dot.

Thank you for supporting my Flash Poetry Challenge, Unseeking Seeker. You have a way of succinctly describing complex concepts using poetry and prose (as in your explanation to Crystol below).

Short version ~ in duality, where we are, everything is polarised and contained in space, observed in linear time. Therefore we do not know our true essence as living light in singularity, which is outside space-time. In thought cessation or meditation, we exit this matrix and see our true Self. Life goes on as before but now we are awake.
