Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

What Is Real

Scriptures speak to us in riddles
Relying upon esoteric symbols 
They may be well intentioned
But it’s time this truth is mentioned 
That addressing mind, invoking fear
Guilt of imagined sin begins to sear
Plunging our mind in deep confusion
Spontaneity lost, fearing retribution 

Something’s rotten in the religious setup
For unless soma nectar flows into our cup
We feel incomplete and shortchanged 
Separated from source, from love estranged 

Ceasing thinking, abandoning all knowing
In stillness feeling, gentle breeze flowing
We embrace and release each life impulse 
Consciousness expands, everywhere at once
Divine entwined, one with the universe
Having vaporised, there’s nothing to rehearse
Bliss throbs within, ignites our central vein
In fullness of rapture, we are free from stain

Undoubtedly senses five and mind have their use
Yet is not overindulgence in illusion akin to abuse
The inner polarities of our sentience are dormant 
Yet it’s from within that sparks, the bliss current

It matters not ancient words etched on stones 
If it’s real, we must feel it deep within our bones

Andrea Dietrich March 31, 2022 at 2:15 PM wow, those last two lines are SO insightful. I know people who are really great with Scriptures, yet their behavior toward fellow man is wanting. that is for sure. Good one. Unseeking Seeker March 31, 2022 at 8:59 PM Indeed, well said, Andrea

David Kavanagh March 31, 2022 at 9:57 AM Now your talking my language Seeker, an outstandingly truthful poem, using religion/s to put fear into people is totally wrong, if an entity or a gods love is not felt inside the feeler, then it’s all an illusion of self delusion, Personally I cannot force myself to believe what I don’t feel, however something compels me to keep searching under every stone, etched or not, cheers David Unseeking Seeker March 31, 2022 at 9:02 PM Unless the body is energised by the current … call it anything, Holy Spirit, kundalini, whatever … unless we feel it, actual transmutation is a far cry. Yet, it’s attainable, if we invite divine bliss into our heart
