This Fallen World's

Unnerves, whose feeling current
With all voices mute.
More troublingly shook
And so deeper torn

Deprives, which surrounding fear
What does constitute
As God's offspring, Heaven's peace
Soul. Since birth forlorn.

Premium Member Sutras 19-21 of The Holy Science

”Existence, consciousness and bliss are the longings of the human heart.

“Ananda, bliss, is the contentment of heart attained by the ways and means suggested by the Savior, the Sat-Guru.

Chit, true consciousness, brings about the compete destruction of all troubles and the rise of all virtues.

Sat, existence, is attained by realization of the permanency of the soul.

These three qualities constitute the real nature of man.

All desires being fulfilled, and all miseries removed, the achievement of Paramartha (the highest goal) is made.”

~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’


quiescent heart ushers bliss
whence we see we’re all of this
form and the unmanifest
in God Who’s always at rest

in form we have sensations
caused by soundless vibrations
when our will to God we bend
in staid stillness we transcend

rest knowing conceptual
getting to the factual
enabled when we let go
of the maverick ego

we exist beyond space-time
where yet resounds bliss beat’s chime
truth of Self, simple and stark
is our true Self is God’s spark

Premium Member Sutra 11-12 from The Holy Science

“The aforesaid five objects, which are the negative attributes of the five electricities, being combined produce the idea of gross matter in its five forms: Ki, solids; Ap, liquids; Tejas, fire; Marut, gaseous substances; and Akasa, ether.

These five forms of gross matter and aforesaid fifteen attributes, together with Manas, Mind, sense consciousness; Buddhi, discriminative Intelligence; Chitta, the Heart or power of feeling; and Ahamkara, the Ego, constitute the twenty-four basic principles of creation.” 

~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’


In the realm of heaven, our eye is single
but with no adversities to overcome,
so the one becomes two and then they jingle
propelled by the power of the cosmic hum
and in the five elements they commingle,
ego distanced from heart, though soul is welcome.
Poised thus in subject-object relationship,
we discover God when love is our flagship.


Layers of Intention

Coming back to recapture and constitute whys,
To understand our train of thought, the path we seek with our eyes,
The external influence that suggests and surrounds,
Take it all away and what have you found,
Lay your heart bare and what do you see,
Under all the layers of your reasoning,
What you grip onto so tightly in order to let go,
Take it all away for a moment and reevaluate your soul,
What pain pushed you and prodded you to run into your ways,
What traumas made you run away from your pain,
Take away your fix it mentality because control is not in your hands,
Lay it down at the alter and give it away again,
Give and love freely without control and confined,
Stop trying to conform yourself to free your own eyes,
Love the freedom to love...love the freedom to give,
Stop putting rules on your freedom to live,

Premium Member When

When I was younger
answers, solutions were
a driving force – How I
would toss and turn, like
a salad mix with dressing,
trying to identify and constitute
the many pieces of entree
unknown -- 

Of course, with age most appetites
are forced to change; for the better,
I am far less a seeker of answers
and more one of interesting questions -- 
having found the unknown easier
to digest, sensing that all is a-flush
in the end.

Life Pretenses

Life if you're not trained is not warranty
Running on the long highway is tiring
Sometimes, it’s more important to stop 
And appreciate the those flowers 
On the side of the road than to rush
Let yourself give a break to think 
There's always first for everything
Analyze things and how to execute properly
Try and error are for youth and undecided
Being curious is the first to reasoning
As for energy is not gone out for reserve
We never say never for a courageous person
Untrustworthy is present for a doubters
Preempt opinions constitute the judgment of others.


Premium Member Zen mode

space wishes to remain unknown
even though we live in its home
but when we come into our own
we know space as the mantra Ohm

voids within voids constitute space
through its pores we see God’s light
when last remnants of ego we deface
we see the truth by spherical sight

Premium Member Let The Music Move Me

The beautiful sound of music vibrates throughout the air
A night to have some fun and let down my hair
Can you remember your first dance, was it fast or slow
Did that happen to be the person that your first kiss would bestow
The sounds of the sixties are still popular to this day
You can probably remember the words to most songs, easier than what you had for lunch yesterday
Music can lift your spirits when you are feeling down
Singing along to your favorite songs , will cause your feet to leave the ground
My introduction to music was the good old nursery rhymes
Now some of the words of today's songs if played in the sixties would probably constitute a crime
Music will create lasting memories you will cherish forever more
Turn the volume up and allow those sounds to move you out on the dance floor

Election Horn Haiku

Election Horn Haiku

after inspection
who should be the selection
for each election

when names would be viewed
did desire to include
those who fought in feud

tossed coin into air
sides combined constitute pair
both were hard to bare
 
too much BS fed
each word of Bible read
about winner who had led
voted for God instead

Growth Spurt in Dirt Did Hurt

when we looked way out far
at what woule be fruit bar
someone broke (abjudicated) the jar
like a rising star 

when having growth spurt
while I did play in the dirt
would be sure to hurt

after location
there would be the creation
of a train station
(of life with each station)

wanted fresh supply
after we will have dropped by
cookies will want to try
(surely so do I)
(this cannot deny)
(sense of humor rye and dry)
(even after I do die)

when of sea took whiff
we went sailing on a skiff
with composed pontiff

when they would descend
what they really did intend
was all their money spend

we would apprehend
messages which God would send
save soul does intend

from further inspection
will have an insurrection
from each direction
(causing an infection)
(need wind correction)
(created rejection)

what we will predict
must have been a derelict
contained in an edict

as predictable
did become despicable
like news by cable

what we prefer please
flying on trapeze through trees
forget to bring disease

Prefer and plan to say that this can 
constitute my thorough, terrific ten 
Horn Haiku poems I presume and
assume with much room.

Of A Bird With Broken Wings

It’s a first glance of injury, but a forming thought of illusion
Based on a history of empty answers and polished doubt
You try and trust in your instincts formed out of heavy confusion
The past interferes with future, by history you back out

Fear of falling for a trick leads to clouded reality
So you keep your mouth shut to a creature who cannot speak
It’s none of your business but you wonder what may be
A life built on tricks or a future truly bleak

You peek into your lifetime of unseen stupidity
A linear path of a heart faded by belief in lies
There are facts and memories that constitute timidity
That leave you to fixate on whether a bird flies

Family Strokes

1.The dogma of atheist does not contain any stance
(positive nor negative)about any form of incest.
about pig eating,about swine soup,about fried frogs,
about consensual gaang baang etcetera.
2.Moreover,most atheists do not customarily condemn 
the very practices that religion condemns, 
for example,idolatry,adultery,and homosexuality.
3.Atheists do not constitute a cohesive or powerful group.
4.They argued that as long as sex is between two consenting 
adults,then it should be permitted.
5.It is an act that is morally or naturally wrong and it should 
be punished by law.

Premium Member Fun With a Gun

A sexy high-powered firearm
Assault rifle—an owners charm
By banning this thrill
It'd stop a fun kill
But other guns still can do harm

Author's note: I've met several people who own these weapons and love shooting them. Would they be willing to give up this privilege (and restrict their shooting to standard street guns) in order to make the rest of us and our schools a bit safer? I get that it would constitute a huge sacrifice on their part. OMG—the horror!

Astounding Goals and Astonishing Treasures

Each blink of our elegant eyes 
Constitute the visual enveloping of aspiring sceneries.
Each empathetic and energetic smile
Conquers the empires of earthly fantasies.
Not every nod is good
And not all words aren't graceful;
Designing against the dreadful
Can deviate us from any pathetic cause.
So, direct your mind towards the privileges 
Of astounding goals and astonishing treasures.

Of Friendships

Health-giving, the goodness
Of this fruit.
What sweet does constitute
A girl's friends.

Too long, hung out to rot
For neglect
Were left, how many, hand?
Heart, as bare!
Your world-orchard's warm-faced share
Still reject.
