Best Enablement Poems
For this tribute poem, my heart exclaims:
Dad: you’re my greatest human fortress, steadfast indeed
The Almighty I praise for your legacy, thriving with blest breed.
Mom: being the virtuous woman who molded my personhood
You exemplified essence of love and wisdom in your motherhood.
Siblings: Manong Rhud, Ading Bert, and Sis. Ming, “kapatids” so dear
How fortunate am I to be assured of your presence so near.
Relatives: cousins, aunts, uncles within and outside clan’s group chat-brace
God’s blessings be with you, reached-out by His redemption grace.
Mentors, teachers, leaders: your earnestness of life-building impact
Keeps me fulfilling influential educator-role by faith with blissful act.
Friends: Actual and virtual, online and on-site ... you're appreciated
Midst your warm partnership for which I'm gratefully elated.
Brethren and sisters in the Lord: let’s fulfill His will, exalting His name
Serving as light and salt by His enablement, advancing heavenly aim.
Orphanage family: with the Saviour’s compassion and provisions that abound
You’re my home where His grace is maximized till we hear the trumpet sound.
The ALPHA AND OMEGA of my being: Without YOU, my GOD, I’m nothing
Since You’re my life, my all-sufficiency*; thanks for everything.
*2Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

Midst myriad manifestations of last days’ signs, manifold
Yearning for the Saviour’s blessed coming is my hope; verily yes…
Hope* anchored by divine assurance, smiting helplessness
Offers sublime serenity along optimism opulence
Peace that props moving-on pursuits, propelling progress
Exudes exuberance to face challenges through God’s enablement…
Indeed welcoming tomorrow with divine conquering instinct
Surely awakened toward victory by the Holy Spirit…
I invoke the Almighty in faith for pardon of guilt and iniquity
Nourished with His assurance-fulfillment, faltering never…
Grace-bestowed, love-endowed beyond wishes good and grand
Opportunities for doing things better I shall optimize
Driven to reach out with bliss as the Lord blesses my days…
Nurtured well for service-stewardship, I strive to prosper nonetheless
Ordered by my Sovereign Father, omniscient and omnipotent
Thankful to triumph with His truth against fatalism-turmoil…
Inevitabilities I accept as realities not unknown to Christ Who is infallible
Now and always, my spirit relies in Him against nay and naught negating…
Forever grateful to the Creator-Master for freedom’s functionality
Actively affirming decisive choice against fatalistic frustration-angst
Toiling hard, trusting the Providence while overtaking trials tenaciously...
Enjoying am I to exemplify empowered existence!
*Psalm 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.

I am what I am* by the Lord’s gracious gesture:
Adopted child of God, imparted with divine nature
Beloved daughter of parents who raised me by loving nurture
Cared for and caring sibling around Christian family culture
Directed volunteer toward ministerial faith-venture…
Empowered prayer-warrior for triumphant temptation flight
Forgiven sinner fulfilled by Christ’s peace delight
Governed Gospel-proclaimer bearing redemption light
Health-conscious vegetarian along ideal weight plight
Illumined Bible-reader against skepticism’s blight…
Joyous sister, partner, mother striving to be a blessing and encouragement
Kind-hearted convert trusting the Holy Spirit’s enablement
Loyal lover as first loved by the Saviour with divine endearment
Mercy-granted recipient engaged in sharing, full of enjoyment
Nourished soulwinner over famishing worldly entanglement…
Optimistic life-builder prioritizing spirituality
Persevering social worker for children’s welfare-prosperity
Quickened believer of the Scriptures against self-righteous religiosity
Rescued hell-bound lawbreaker striving now to please the Almighty
Strengthened full-time church worker serving thru Jesus’ capacity…
Thankful teacher, writer, poet advocating responsible communication
Upheld victor in discipling, anchored upon virtuous instruction
Worshipful xenial congregant who praises the Creator with jubilant adoration
Young-at-heart adult defying, yet succumbing to aging manifestation
Zealous labourer in the Master’s kingdom with brethren’s inspiration.
*1Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; … not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

The Krama path of step by step progression
Also goes by the name of kundalini ascension
The path if there is any path being emptiness
As we slowly erase ferality from consciousness
Desires & fears & attachments & ego craving
All that is transient and as illusions oscillating
Thus making space within for magnetic synergy
Drawing in osmotically divine life pulse energy
Stilling not stillness we let stillness still our being
Transmuting consciousness to bliss enlivening
Now the manner of the energy path may be any
It could be sudden & turbid or gentle & sedentary
What matters most is we rest all vicarious knowing
For what unfolds in reality is amazingly scintillating
In any case thoughts are imaginary & delusional
In silence & stillness we cognise the divine miracle
Our orientation shifts to innocence simply flowing
There being no finality to each enablement glowing
As on date this traveller does affirm with certainty
That explosive ecstatic bliss reignites in continuity
Within

Turbocharged you refuse to stop at the sentry
Full speed ahead on the racetrack of manipulation
Safety belt suspending the breaks in free flight
Airbag punctured long ago in rapid disconnect
I put up traffic lights for you at so many T-junctions
Set boundaries and barriers on both sides of the road
Built bridges and roundabouts and paid traffic fines
But violations kept coming and you crossed the red line
Some say you are too young to have a driving licence
And recite chaos theory for your very own highway to hell
De-rooted yield signs lie broken next to strewn promises
Sweet child now it is time to gather your scrap heap alone
I won’t be drawn into further collusion and enablement
Must wave the chequered flag of surrender of abused trust
You will crash on and on until you take consequent charge
I will not rescue you any longer but secure my own lane

Nothing new in the electrochemistry
It no longer is a scientific mystery
Waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon
Descending from buoyant ecstasy to a persona forlorn
Zodiac signs & rainbow colours assigned to chakras renamed
Esoteric yogic techniques, exponents aplenty, all self-proclaimed
Fiery verbal duels, by many an argumentative eristic
Each it seems is the ultimate mystic
Leaving profundity to theorists whose verbosity we acknowledge
What matters is assimilated wisdom, not vicarious knowledge
So we go in within, alone, in meditational stillness, upon a virgin path
Each moment in the time continuum, a holy sabbath
What we seek is expansive consciousness & joy eternal
And what is eternal is obviously not embraceable in the ephemeral
So we chop off perishable egoistic attachments, fear & desire
And straightaway plunge our non-self into the divine fire
How? In unseeking stillness within ... deep within
Where at each moment we anew begin
No conflict, no violence
Effortless stillness, rippleless silence
No agenda, no seeker, no doer
We are still, yet there is a mover
The flow of the Universe within into which we dissolve
Emerging from which we automatically evolve
What do we gain & what do we lose?
Irrelevant, for we are not, yet desirelessly choose
What we lose is our sorrow generating gross contaminant
Gain being ineffable, exalted, joyous divine love enablement
There is no way; our choice itself is the way
Save unendingly effusing love, no rules to obey
Thoughts sublime, words kind, actions benign
Self, Soul & Spirit thus align
Trust the Universe, plunge into its loving stream
We need to wake up now, from our narrow dream
Upon lighting a candle, darkness is instantly expelled
Surrendering to the divine, ignorance is automatically dispelled
And that is all there is to it
Doable if we do & never ever quit
Simpler the truth, it seems the more elusive it is
So perplexed we are by life’s jigsaw quiz

Magnetic pull, draws in the bliss current
Felt within, as vibrant throb factual
A constant humming, without abatement
Joy ecstasy boundless, ineffable
Path to activate magnetism, simple
We slow down thought, nestled in contentment
Shifting into silence, fulcrum stable
Magnetic pull, draws in the bliss current
As head and heart, come into alignment
Bliss vivifies the Sushumna funnel
Divine grace bestows joy enablement
Felt within, as vibrant throb factual
Imbibing Gods bountiful miracles
In loving, bubbling, playful sentiment
Inner sound current, throb perennial
A constant humming, without abatement
Our energy body luminescent
Fragrant vibrations imbibed, musical
Our hollowed empty form, with bliss vibrant
Joy ecstasy boundless, ineffable
Divine energy within, toroidal
Rise gentle, along a steep gradient
Each enablement, divine miracle
Our childlike presence, feels the excitement
Magnetic pull

a fad, a cult, a kundalini awakening school
where the sacred is commercialised, trivialised
we are dismayed seeing how the blind lead the blind
later sharing deluded interpretations on the cocktail circuit
the promoters of the con game laughing all the way to the bank
whilst those who sought spiritual enablement, no wiser than before

Genuine care beams with God's love
while we show kindness* and concern
cheering someone from stress.
Exemplifying Christ’s compassion
our loving care reaches out gladly
lifting others against despair.
As loving care steadfastly prevails
we combat hatred attacks
advancing good works.
Manifesting loving care
our hearts offer forgiveness
reverberating with prayer.
By our words of endearment
we encourage with loving care
spreading peace and bliss.
With loving care so blest
our spirits appreciate others' goodness
thanking the Lord for His enablement.
Since God empowers us
we can exemplify loving care to the fullest
serving well by His gracious favour.
*Titus 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.

Cold breath
Hot breath
No breath
Know breath
Three known channels for the flow
One burns, one cools, one is mellow
All provide a connected glow
In pristine stillness imperceptibly slow
Abandoning focus on technique
Let us take a sneak peek
At harnessing the enableability
While preserving our sanity
Pausing doctrines of theology
And electrochemistry of biology
Let us go into the actual experience
In innocence, with divine assistance
The crux is our awakening
Not in the method stating
Going into the theory
Makes the soul weary
First, let us address the fears
Of the hot breath which sears
Burns
Innards upturns
Energy is simply energy
It is we who need to form a synergy
By deep inner cleansing of negativity
Only then may we reclaim our be-ability
Distilled water does not conduct electricity
It is the contaminant that causes fatality
It matters not which channel is the funnel
Hot, cold or central
When we wish to walk, we walk
When we wish to talk, we talk
The focus is not in the instrument
But upon intuitive use of our enablement
As long as we seek for self attainment
There is an ego manifest making a statement
Only when there remains no selector
Is our empty cup within a fit receptor
In case the point is missed
The message is simply this
Do not try to be a Houdini
Forget about the Kundalini
As consciousness is shaken
We automatically awaken
Discarding fragmented imagination
We may embrace limitless elevation
Kundalini, chakras, nodes
Parts, components of our body abode
Look not at the finger but at the beauteous moon
In the rhythm of oneness, we automatically swoon
In stillness
