Notes About The Poem

Tzimtzum

Tzimtzum

In the beginning, all was but self-existent living light
Beyond space and time
Then to feel in contrast delight
The omnipresent all-that-is sounded a polarity chime
Manifesting a differentiated reflected reality sublime

The universe as we know it thus held by God's power
He alone is, the all-that-is
Existence-consciousness-bliss
Created in His image, each breath He does empower
Aligned with source, we're drenched in love's shower

Like the universe, our body is a magnet with two poles
Immanent and transcendent
Through vibrations we shift roles
Exiting delusion on recognising we’re all interdependent 
When false identity drops, we become bliss resplendent 

Deep within the cave of our heart sounds the cosmic hum
Pause in the void, oh worthy hermit
Know therein truth of Tzimtzum
Simply vaporising lower mind, judging neither fault nor merit
God who in-dwells mind-body takes our soul to the summit

If He is Mitzamtzem Himself, we must leave our shabby egos on the shelf!
