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 of life...
acceptance of immanence
I am not divine
I am not destined for permanence in this world. Through death, I will leave a void to be filled. Seekers of truth, open your inner sight and allow it to lead you towards enlightenment. Sing a melody during life's journey and set your spirit free. Sing a song, a symphony, to help you find your way. It's a cosmic affair, so bare your soul and find the bliss that awaits you there.
human souls reside
but for a moment on earth
waves on an ebb tide
Most will not live eternally; we are not the transcendent kind. There is only One who lives to reign, and we dare not disdain His right to claim the throne. God is transcendent and there will never be an amendment to that in this manifested world. He will not be dethroned by word or deed by some malcontented human having the need for a coup. Those who would dare cast shadows on His name have no respect for divinity.
God reigns o'er the world
do not query or doubt His
supernal glory

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 as the moon and stars that exist in the sky.
Nascent as the first rose of summer and first newborn child
Every fiber of my body is connected with tissue and brain.
New to this interplanetary home I often exist alone,
Transcending the overpass of life sometimes, go beyond.
Yet the lessons I have learned in this lifetime have been slow
Eager to experience the comforting light of the au de la,
To a higher order I have entrusted my journey towards home.
Transcending time and space I fly towards the Universal hub of
Reincarnation, checking my Akashic records and knowing that my
Algorithms have been installed in me long before I was born.
No greater joy on earth than moving upward and beyond, in a
Sacred manner. I breathe in, hold my breath, then breathe out
Climbing up the invisible ladder of spiritual success and
Enlightenment. All of His philosophical teachings given through
Nacre moments of pure intent. Like the Mother of Pearl when the
Dharma wheel turns I follow its winding path, without push I
Ease into the shift and become one with the Omnipotent Light.
Nascent as the first rose of summer, a first newborn child,
Trusting I will be well received, on the other side....

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 beat chime
Our eye is single, full of love and light
The outer world holds for us no appeal
Centred in oneness by day and by night
We yet play our life role with zest and zeal
Distanced from outcomes, we’re always at ease ~
Flowing unfettered like the morning breeze

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 make up hours,
Moments make up days,
Moments make up each month and year,
That make up every lifetime
So how are they forgotten?
Why are they to fade?
And as I pondered this
I happened to look out
I saw a shooting-star appear
Too brilliant with its light
It blinded for an instant
So powerful was its might
But then it disappeared
Fading from my sight
And I'm glad to look out again
Because now I can see
They're never to be written
Never meant to be told
They're not to be hung onto
They were never there for you to hold
Because moments come and go
Moments old and moments told
Moments lived and past

Immanent Yet Transcendent 9-29-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 starving angels,
A deafening humdrum drumming cadence
Clumbers in oblivion with trudging boots
Over rusty cauldrons of mediocrity
And dreary depths of decomposed sludge
Fed with blind self-interest.
Yet, the dust of the mystical hovers -
Intrinsic inbred breath of creation
Drags dawdling ordinary
Into spirals of whirling inspiration,
Into sibylline sight beyond near-sightedness,
By the cryptic, subtle tickle of grace -
Into hovering empathetic realms -
Exploding heart driven revelation
Unfurls into celestial magnificence -
A spark glowing in the debris of impotent possibility
Impregnates the embryonic hero of every soul -
Rise up in quests to slay dull dragon’s lairs
Clothed in nurture with the flesh of miracles;
And congenital marvels released.

Immanent yet transcendent Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
God is both fully transcendent and utterly immanent – extensively beyond us but genuinely with us. By Poet.
________________________________________________________
In a realm where lucid dreams spring alive.
Where the whispers to the cosmos derive
There lingers a dance—divine and bright.
Of immanent and transcendent eternal flight.
One's essence is intrinsic, or immanent.
It starts with every breath—cease is imminent.
No vitality can be razed, hence being infinite.
Every grass blade or hazard tear is then intimate.
Transcendent, preposterous afar and wide,
Beyond the circumscription of earthly stride,
Soaring through the cosmos, stars in its wake,
A cosmic symphony, a celestial shake
In this sempiternal dance, they entwine,
Immanent and transcendent, a union divine,
Akin to yin and yang, they equipoise and sway.
Prevailing us on our journey, day after day.
A soft breeze carries the imminent susurration of life.
We're fiddling with our souls and frisking our strife.
children's squealing in an accomplice's embrace.
Immanent imbues us with beauty, love, and grace.
Transcendent calls in the depths of a scarlet sky,
Heaving us hovering to the heavens up high,
In the grandeur of nature, in a sunrise hue,
Transcendent shows us there's plenteous anew.
Immanent and transcendent, a cosmic pair,
In the prance of life, are everlastingly there,
In the depths of our animus, they reside.
Wielding us in a woebegone, wondrous ride
Immanent, the divine within our reach,
Transcendent, the infinite beyond our speech,
Together, they weave the tapestry of existence.
In their dance, we find purpose and significance.
immanent and transcendent, a harmonious blend,
In each moment of their presence, we apprehend,
They remind us that we are a crux of kernel grand.
A universal symphony, a seraphic chaste band
So prance with immanent and transcendent,
Embrace the blithe and beguilement; be besant.
On the wisdom they offer, the love they bestow,
In their gyre and gambol, our souls shall grow.

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 be done
save making our eye single
that as breath by breath we bilocate
we are both transcendent and immanent

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 now landed full force on Jeff’s chest.
Laid in the soft mud, calling “save me” at his best.
His two girls off for a walk, soon would’ve been,
Out of ear shot and way too far to be seen.
Hearing their Dad’s yells, they hurried to the scene.
Transcendence set in and the two girls lifted it clean.
Over one and a half ton pressing down on his chest.
Haylee 14 and Hannah 16 with all their might not less,
Lifted that tractor til he managed to escape its hold.
Bruised, broken ribs, their dad will live to grow old.
Medics say another few minutes his ribs would collapse.
He would have died, there was no “perhaps”
Some say an adrenalin rush, superhuman strength.
It is beyond the normal or physical level at any length.
What happened on that day in 2013 Minnesota USA
There is no one that could explain it away.
Spiritual power to achieve, was within each girl at that time.
Not from muscle strength, intrinsic, in their minds, most sublime.

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 the sensual surface of mortal perception,
the mind transitorily shapes the innate images
on the fleeting screen of spreading awareness,
shifting beyond the limits in search of new sensitivity
within the quintessence of unique existence,
the construct of sublime elements of divinity.
In the realm of existential dualism,
with the dark and depraved attributes,
irreducibly distinct from the righteous potency,
human being breathes as God’s generous gift
the divine breath of the devout life,
the intrinsic source of creativity for love and altruism.
The enlivening inner window of enlightenment
lets inside the sacred sunshine of seminal virtue,
highlights the positivity of the persistent psyche,
enhances the defining strength of the spirit,
flowing with the fountain of generosity and empathy,
that finds the cathartic pathway of spirituality.
The spiritual journey is a trying translocation
from vice to virtue to the high stratum of consciousness,
achieved by the introspective dissolution of the boundaries
of the rigid thoughts through transcendence.
As the separation of outside-in and inside-out dissolves,
intrinsic virtue permeates the non-dual awareness.
When the immanent emotions bloom as radiant lotus,
the soul contained within the limits of acuity
finds freedom to merge with the transcendent consciousness
of divine oneness, and fusing with the supreme,
embellishes the sublimated life with heavenly adornment.
The absolute then assimilates the liberated atman.

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 remains,
with feeble form bound in chains.
Bilocation is the cure,
else we must bear and endure,
bound to time and caged in space,
soul’s fallen stance, our disgrace.
Dwelling in the potent pause,
of God’s life force when it thaws,
when polarities rotate,
we stand then at heaven’s gate.

"You're not strong enough whispered the Devil to withstand life's
storms and I yelled back to him, thanks to God I am the storm."
Quote by _ Constance
I am that which I am within my mind,
and able to transcend this earthly realm;
have found my true purpose- I am not blind,
though the way to I am can overwhelm.
I will be- create what I will create,
these thoughts are deep-seated within my soul;
God has always taught me my sublime fate,
it is who I am, it is my life goal.
I am who created me, I am me,
two little words that can change a whole life;
I am who I was yet I am guilt free,
free of the strife in life and her sharp knife.
I am and I am- boundless and unique;
immanent, transcendent, not weak or meek.

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 attachment,
combining synaptic neurons in epochs.
In immanent beauty of wide sensations
everyone and everything is wrapped in 'Me'
But beyond the cognitive darkness,
in the neon of nocturnal mist,
thoughts no longer are made of words,
things no longer have any name.
Our existence detached from cycles
resonates in hallways of consciousness.
When our eyes close, the mind opens.
As an illumination within transcends
higher and higher to an unblocked sky,
surpassing all boundaries till infinitum.
Profound sentience pirouetting to eternity,
an omnificent enigma of boundless ecstasy.
*'Maya' is a Sanskrit word means “that which is not” (i.e. illusion)

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 of all things
interconnected, that the transcendent spirit begins
to grow beyond the sum of the parts via an evolving inheritance.
Transcendental immanency is the whisper of leaves in the breeze
It is the murmur of waves lapping in the seas,
It is the eyes matching-making with glints that please
It is the warmth of shared smile that both emulators sees
It is entanglement, the spooky spiritual links that appease,
join, bind and interconnect all living things
into a family within, immanent and transcendent.

Immanent yet transcendent, glory of the earth
Joy is love-resplendent, spiritual rebirth
Every soul is born dependent, on the voice within
Only one is our defendant, for the price of sin
Happiness is not a task, on which we can depend
Happy children learn to ask, before they learn to fend
What we do to gain success, is worthy to discuss
But when we search for happiness, our happiness finds us
The happiness, that we expect, is not the perfect deal
For love is born of self-respect, regarding how we feel
When kindness borrows charity, to feed the hungry heart
Then service needs our clarity, to do the goodly part
Though happiness is fleeting, our love provides a lift
For good is worth repeating, and joy is our true gift
We love and serve each other, through immanent review
To win the grateful brother, transcendent glory too.
