God is the flame Who lights all lights,
wherein the truth when we cognise,
beyond space time, peace that delights,
is our Self, which we realise.
Back to form, to see God in all,
dwelling deep within each form’s core,
entwined with gong of Om’s love call,
within heart resounds bliss beat’s roar.
When sense of separation ends,
meaning we transmute as the flame,
no one descends, no one ascends;
this lucid dream seen as a game.
Mirroring God’s blissful heartbeat,
essence of presence feels complete.
To invoke God’s grace, we slow down life’s pace,
that we may cognise each offered surprise,
beholding in wonderment bliss beats rise
in the cave of our heart, soul’s dwelling place.
On recognising life is not a race,
we distance presence from the web of lies
spawned by lower mind, whence our ego dies
and then we see our true Self, face to face.
Our true being rests outside space and time,
made in God’s image, resplendent with light,
in ineffable peace, feeling complete,
renewing within itself bliss beat’s chime,
consciousness aware in drunken delight,
with pure intent emoting its love tweet.
Dwell oh hermit, in the vast, formless void,
seeking nothing, animating the heart,
whence no longer by wispy thoughts decoyed,
invoking grace, feel bliss ignition start.
The first thing we cognise is boundless space,
noticed not since our eye searches for form
but if steps toward heaven we’d retrace,
we must be receptive to love’s touch warm.
Lost in a dream world of our own making,
we no longer know that we’re living light,
so spend most of our life in fear quaking,
blocking God’s grace that ushers bliss delight.
Ceasing to react if we be but still,
easy then becomes soul’s ascent uphill.
Truth’s metaphor bemused and confused lost ones,
trapped as yet in labours of thought forms conjured,
thereby failing to cognise flickers in space …
revealing God’s light.
Breath by breath thus, feeling not God’s magnetism,
living by instinct, higher centres dormant,
darkness deepened, engulfing bleeding aura …
ego blamed on fate.
Love’s touch tender stirred the soul, freezing thought flow,
causing ego to recede, enlivening
heart, whence divine bliss mists rose, transmuting form …
into living light.
voids within voids conceal
the light that lights all lights
all is within, in the head ovoid
innate aliveness of luminous Self
surging forth from our toroidal heart
subtlest manifestation being space
and ultimate illusion as linear time
exiting the matrix we so cognise
phenomena and the noumena
in perfect brilliant stillness
I breathe bliss, borne by divine magnetism
and as is with me, the same is with you
but due to head-heart chasm in body prism,
these sublime mists are felt by but a few.
I stand erect, as a pillar of light
and as is with me, the same is with you
but to cognise this needs spherical sight,
allowing bliss ignition to renew.
I, as in my ego have disappeared
and as with me, the same can be with you,
in time stretched stillness, whence by bliss strobes speared,
soul’s transfixed in love and light, each hue new.
God dwells at my very core and yours too ~
He’s seen when heart is pure like morning dew
the luminous nature of our Self
is playful and spontaneous
formless with full freedom
positioned in singularity
choosing to don a form
to feel winds of duality
that love be ingrained
and embodied within
with this knowing
we mindfully cognise
underlying unity of life
propelled by will of God
treading gently on earth
oozing loving compassion
holding out a helping hand
to all souls we chance to meet
as we be gently breathed
by the sublime breath of God
we as individuated aspect of Him
fully present here and now feel whole
doing nothing in time dissolved peace
recognising divine light in all hearts
we spherically cognise polarities
quietus graced by love alone
mindfully cognise
each flicker in space
through the gaps in time
in-pours benedictions of grace
correspondent to light strobes
nodes within us come alive
to throb of magnetism
in rapture we jive
The
throb of
bliss hums on
by day and night,
just like our heartbeat
as gift of God wondrous
but there’s no way to transmit
the sublime fragrance we imbibe,
thus we can at best portray in words,
love’s transcendental rapture felt within.
Such secrets divine, are veiled in plain sight,
thus as that both revealed and concealed,
needs mind of soul’s heart to cognise,
that the unknown becomes known
through outpourings of grace,
which we may invoke,
if heart be pure
and childlike,
trusting
God.
Restful by the window, drawn to a scent,
subtle, euphoric, fragrance of delight,
presence surrendered, granting love consent,
drawn into a domain, full of God’s light.
This immersion signalled we are complete,
even though at times we may not cognise
fullness of being-ness that’s bliss replete,
since we are prone to weigh, measure and size.
The core of our being is always free
and what is freedom but choice to connect
with existence, unshackled from mind tree,
that we frolic about in joy unchecked.
Who we truly are, we never forget ~
Soul swims in deep oceans yet gets not wet
God’s open secrets are hidden in plain sight,
sacred geometry within and around,
His breath keeping us alive by day and night
but we know not the source, being in fears drowned,
so if we wish to see the truth in clear light,
in silence we must cognise the cosmic sound.
As stated in the scriptures, the word is God,
wisdom that is known if we give love our nod.
Why love is important is easy to see,
for save love, what else can dissolve our ego?
Where love is, there is no thought and we are free
from cravings of lower mind, most can’t let go,
so once we are unshackled from our mind tree,
the truth of our true self, we then get to know.
The truth however, is not what we expect;
it’s unmanifest beyond cause and effect.
Death holds promise of renewal
Beauteous autumn stirs our soul
God enlivens life pulse dual
Shape of form shifts, yet we feel whole
Take a cue from the fallen leaf
Death holds promise of renewal
Let’s outgrow conditioned belief
With love and light, heart refuel
Our heart contains a prized jewel
To cognise it, simply be still
Death holds promise of renewal
On ego death, voids within fill
Autumn reveals resurrection
New life springs without a duel
With God’s love form a connection
Death holds promise of renewal
Existence is the cauldron where elements brew
Earth, water, fire and air, are in space entwined
Each has unique attributes, maintaining life
Cognised by presence when they are aligned
Holy Spirit grazes form, beginning at root of spine
Earth comes alive, as blood begins to flow
Two thirds of the planet is water; we are likewise
We feel in stillness, our sacral water centre glow
Energy ascent continues, igniting fire in the navel
So enlivening and comforting is magnetic heat
But what avail the spark, if there be no movement
Breeze of air obliges, making our heart upbeat
Thus from root to sacral, navel and then our heart
Grace activates all elements and body glands
Passing through throat corresponding to aether
Into the head ovoid to cognise God’s heavenly lands
Ancient Hermitic wisdom affirms: as above, so below
Made in God’s image, we represent the whole
Five senses, elements and electricities as yet unknown
Oh hermit, we ourselves are the light, scriptures extol
as long as awareness be
manifest as an identity
differentiated perception
as a veil of ignorance
prohibits us to cognise
the essence of our being
self-luminous living light
complete and in renewal
throbbing in singularity
in time dissolved peace
