our journey as we soften attention
proceeds somewhat like this:
senses to mind
mind to intellect
intellect to the cosmic egg
Hiranyagarbha ~ in our head
Hiranyagarbha to the unmanifest
meaning, what we call Self
the Self to God, the Absolute
golden globe of love and light
we all are in Him
He is in all
nothing more need be said
Who pens the words we express,
displaying state of undress,
of pure heart’s childlike intent,
in vibrational descent?
From the tranquil stillness point,
the light of Self does anoint,
our pulsating, vibrant heart,
to create a work of art.
Vibes interpreted by mind,
which is with our soul aligned,
conjures then a gentle breeze,
penning love poems with ease.
the singularity point
contains all energies
in motionless stillness
within organic form
God-spark is embodied
in the cave of our heart
the sphere expands
a golden globe of light
around which chakras orbit
the head ovoid glistens
being ego with Self aligned
reflecting the light of God
neither seeking nor negating
we dwell in the body shell
free from limiting concepts
Choosing to live as an ant for a day,
God yet felt in that form no sense of lack,
performing all chores, treating work as play,
content living in its underground shack.
God’s real challenge came, living as man,
plodding through life with memory erased,
remaining ignorant of His own plan,
until the flag of love in heart was raised.
Love agape is God’s omnipotent force,
each sentient being depends upon,
employing joy and light to change life’s course,
recognising that night will yield to dawn.
Descent and ascent is the game divine ~
All we need to do is with love align
Is not life an unfinished game of chess,
where waking up from sleep, we continue
the game, attempting to clean up the mess
but the puzzle’s not something mind can sew,
unless we shift to heart, born there anew?
As an actor on stage, we play our role
but save in staid silence never feel whole,
because when thoughts rest, we reclaim soul’s light,
as our claim to fame all scriptures extol,
looking at the world afresh, with clear sight.
Having ensouled feeble form,
we’re swept away in life’s storm,
enslaved by fear and desire,
consumed by heart’s raging fire.
How may we, a creature bound,
redeem soul on holy ground,
when we know not who we are,
exhausted drifting afar?
Thought cessation paves the way,
whence making love our mainstay,
we follow, letting God lead,
that our scarred heart may not bleed.
Bliss magnetism pervades form
and swept away in the storm,
relinquishing each desire,
we become God’s sublime fire.
Heart’s thirst to come first
brings out ego’s worst,
so it’s best we quell,
such desires that swell.
We wish to expand
but let’s understand,
we’re soul, not this form,
so be kind and warm.
We’re that that survives
death through cuts by knives.
Eternal’s our light,
shining within bright.
Heart is the centre,
where bliss beats enter,
imbibed if we’re pure,
humble and demure.
Thus it’s up to us,
to board God’s love bus,
no load on our chest,
bringing out our best.
Brahma at root, holds still divine energy
We feel incomplete in the lull
Shakti’s coiled there, awaiting synergy
Whilst Shiva’s abode is the skull
On this truth, oh lama, mull
Fears and desires block the joy conduit
Ego borne delusion
Divine Mother rests until soul chooses to reboot
So we’re in deep confusion
Until head and heart fusion
Upon shifting to thought rested silence
Ego spawned fears ebb away
Essence of presence rekindles flame of innocence
Divine love and light sun ray
Radiating bliss that’s here to stay

“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”
- Werner Heisenberg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here, within this lucid dream, we call life
Stuporous is light of our awareness
We wish to be joy rife but thrive on strife
History shows no shift in consciousness
Both evil and good co-exist on earth
Our head and heart too, feel separateness
Beginning with ourself, to reclaim mirth
We keep thought flow slow, entering silence
Our heart expands, beyond feeble form’s girth
Distilled calm reveals essence of presence
Being but our soul, in heart all aglow
We reclaim thus our self’s luminescence
Our free will chooses to meld with love’s flow
Love employs no force, so it’s up to us
There remain no seeds of desire to sow
Poised in the void, earth life does not nonplus
We stand erect, aligned with love and light
Going where God takes us, without a fuss
Time’s now to awaken spherical sight
As bliss cascades within, through day and night
19-January-2022
Life a seeming jigsaw puzzle baffling
It seems that we cannot escape sorrow
Enmeshed in duality spiralling
Mired in fears of an unknown tomorrow
Truth being that as we choose, so it is
Stilling thought, if we go into silence
We imbibe in an instant, the bliss fizz
All is as we wish, play of innocence
All desires do arise within our heart
Let then our yearning be for love divine
As rapture ignition each moment starts
Provided of course, we choose to align
Rotate oh hermit, thought polarity
Reclaim here and now, our divinity
10-November-2020
All urges arising within the heart
ever bubbling in innocence
unendingly adding joy to its cart
never ever looking askance
There being no need of discernment
if we but listen to our conscience
throb of love bestowing contentment
unless we stagnate in indulgence
Joy in permanence to our being innate
requiring immersion in the flow
ambling along in nonchalance sedate
taking each breath easy & slow
Distinguishing between heart and head
choosing to optimally balance
food for the soul vs need for daily bread
both in love aligned parlance
There then thus being no inner conflict
as head and heart align
as a mist of bliss always at the summit
being one with the divine
