Best Immanent Poems

In interludes of self-reflection, whether in the state of consciousness or meditative, I accept that I am an immanent being, layered with imperfections. I am human. I make mistakes, but to live my life instilled with fear and without love would not be living.

my concept...

Immanent, at the heart of blood of the One who made     
Me, I am part of the great I am, the flesh and bone of His  
Magnificent creation.  As concrete as the firmament of earth,  
And as solid...

Internal immanent powers
of panentheism
are nearly as traditionally endemic
to Western religious teachings
as is external transcendent light
of monotheism.

In scripture,
in Prince of Peace spiritual experience
and promise of Jesus's teaching
rests prophecy of pentacostal panentheism

A radically liberating experience
of divinely manifest
Holonic Spirit
restoring peace
and global
inter-religious
multicultural
polycultural
resonantly polyphonic
resiliently polypathic 
humanely divine
truthfully beautiful
peace-filling justice....

Concealing and revealing, game divine
Pangs of separation, joy of union
This goes on till with the void we align
Unbroken then with God’s our communion

Bemused not in the world of illusion
We look for truth that flickers not with time
Nonchalant spirit, free from confusion
Renews within itself, God’s bliss...

A precious passing moment

Like silver dust or

Shooting stars

Blind us – for an instant

But fade into the dark

 

Never to be written

Never to be told

Doomed to be forgotten

More precious though than gold

 

 

Moments come and go

Moments good and moments sad

Moments lived and past

 

Yet moments...

Immanent Yet Transcendent

Above the plodding, sightless mediocre
A latent embryo breathes,
Awakens the murmurs of the inbred orphic harbinger
Through tangled threads of colorless mesh
Serendipity stirs, sets in motion,
Spirals
Above the weary path of habitual self interest
Clogged with lumbering thistles of numb routine,
Where midnights wrestle with...

God is both fully transcendent and utterly immanent – extensively beyond us but genuinely with us. By Poet.

within this lucid dream
myriad objects appear
although it is an illusion
yet appearing so real

our consciousness localised
within a specific organism
we feel separate
from God and the universe

this drama being enacted
within which we play a role 
is merely the dance divine
conjured for our soul’s delight

there then is nothing to...

It was finally a sunny day after all the rain.
Jeff Smith climbed back on his tractor again,
Monday and the soft ground, was now mud.
He hoped to pull that stump out with a thud.

His mud-caked boot slipped off the clutch.
The tractor lurched and backflipped as such.
It...

In the anchorage of the mundane mind, 
detached from the principled roots of sanctity
by the dislodging drive of sequential desire,
untamed instincts shroud the senses.
As the needle of ethical compass breaks,
the vortex of  immanent emotions drags the mind
into the fathomless inner depth of deriding abyss.

Beneath...

Having been, seen and so known
light of our true Self full blown,
if this truth we’d embody,
we must enter samadhi.

Single pointed attention,
bliss drenched and free from tension,
positions us in the void,
as living light unalloyed.

A river that has no shore,
deep peace never felt before,
great, yet the question...

An enchanting damsel 'Maya' *
diamonds shine in her ephemeral eyes
roses adorn dreamlike moments
and peacock feathers float in space.
opulence of this goddess soothes, 
Yet tremors in  mind reverberates
diving deep within to decipher the arcane 
An ineffable world, is only a projection
with million fine strands of...

Beyond the Family Within

Immanent is the kernel of consciousness
embedded within every living thing
no matter how big or small is the creature.
It is this spooky common disconnectedness
that allows the spark of entanglement
to trigger an emotional response
to and fro from all living things.
It is from the within...
