how do we view abilities of the mind
do we assign it sense of ownership
or have we truly left ego behind
we’ve ensouled this form of dust
to feel the sway of polarities within
orbiting light of love, delusion of lust
within heart glows our true essence
our focus is firmly fixated therein
flame of Self our quintessence

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.

entering silence in stillness
with silence having no attribute
the hum of our presence self-aware
echoed in the surreal vibrant void
so thus subjective awareness
resplendent in its bliss vibrations
playfully embodied in form ensouled
the cosmic rhythm all pervading
mirrored in all that is manifest

dwelling in singularity
complete but arid
at peace but loveless
living light in renewal
having no urge to act
yet feels a need arise
to feel contrast by touch
for which it must shed
it’s resplendent splendour
walk barefoot on hot sands
in decaying organic form
with memory erased
clutching onto but hope
of its essence in the heart
pangs of separation
exhilaration of divine union
embraced by innocence
in astonishment and wonderment
provides an impetus
to the tremulous heart
to seek bliss in permanence
embodying zenith rapture
in form of dust so ensouled
and thus the search begins
requiring lifting of the veil
mirages manifested in dreams
requiring erasure of identity
to which Self now clings

our magnetised palms suggest
there is healing work to be done
by energy transfer if so ordained
by the will of the universal mind
wherein the palms are a conduit
available in this realm and density
attached to an organic earth form
ensouled by essence of presence
of Holy Spirit in totality of so being
individuated as spark of the flame
thus, there being no one here within
all that is, is a holographic module
readied but not as yet employed
being but a resource under testing
being checked for ego interference
which may yet be lying within await
for Spirit will brook no interference
by narrow agendas ego precipitates
and so magnetised palms must wait
alive, vibrant, receptive, yet tranquil

Having ensouled this form,
to feel by touch each pulse
with tenderness and love,
let’s pray to God that His
grace in-pours from above.
Having ensouled this form,
for a limited time,
waste not this gift of life
in pursuit of desire,
that leads to pain and strife.
Having ensouled this form,
with memory erased,
live not in past tenses
but vibrant here and now,
forgive all offences.
Having ensouled this form,
let’s find out who we are,
for the world is but smoke.
God dwells within our heart;
it’s high time we awoke.

Knowing life has been already impulsed
We embrace and release both joy and pain
There are in truth no foes to be repulsed
Touch gentle, is free from blemish and stain
Mind-body unless ensouled is but dust
We know our organic form will decay
Why for then do we nurture thoughts of lust
Law of cause and effect will make us pay
Feeding not dark desires, our false self dies
There is no regret, for it never was
Our unshackled soul then flies to new highs
We are living light and God is the cause
Exhuming then, cravings of lower mind ~
Whilst immanent we transcend ego’s bind

vital breath of consciousness
pulsates affirming presence
in this realm of space time
manifest as life bubbles
in a narrow spectrum
inducing by movements
a state of hypnotic stupor
anchoring onto earth vessel
ensouled by our true being eternal
there thus is no bondage
unless we choose to enter trance
within which too we remain always free
in the pause of each polarity interchange
say when our in-breath becomes out-breath
or in the gap between two successive thoughts
for the realm of earth duality being transient
each manifestation is born and must die
and so eternal being is always free
holding still flame of awareness
by relinquishing ego identity

We once roamed free across space as living light,
one with oneness, blissful and feeling complete
but as a dare chose to know darkness of night,
feeling contrast of joy and pain, cold and heat,
with memory erased, to be crouched in fright,
thus ensouled form, far removed from love's bliss beat.
Frozen solid, we've forgotten who we are,
so we now stare at yonder moon from afar.

Encased within form
Yet not restrained
In the continuum graced
To so expand consciousness
Or let us say, awareness
Enveloping all that is manifest
As also the unmanifest
We alone are
There being no ‘other’
As God essence
Which is all there is
We, as spirit Absolute
Feel all entities ensouled
Empowered
Breathed
Energised
Vitalised
By God Himself
With our true essence
As He
Indivisible, inseparable
From God
Thus, God alone is
We alone are
As He
However
By our own hand
As of choiceless choice
To feel limitation
Contrast of duality
We are here
To so experience
This reflected reality
When the entity disappears
When identity is vaporised
This truth is known
Clearly
Without mirrors

Recognition of our aliveness
Innate awareness
As it is
Mode celebration
In purity of innocence
Energised by divine vibrance
Within space and time
Spanda enabling
Sensory delight
Day and night
Magic in renewal
Ensouled form miracle
Mere bubble within the whole
Vaporisation joyous goal
In lingering bliss burn
Void alone knows
How soul grows

We,
here now,
mind body,
as an aspect
of absoluteness,
by outpouring ourself
into the thought projection
to feel by touch, limit ourself,
by melding into forms created,
as a momentary hypnotic trance.
Dreamer as both the subject and object,
having now ensouled the illusions,
feels separate from other forms,
whilst also thus unaware
of himself as dreamer,
having so conjured
movie enacted
as desire
impels
us.

Awareness self aware, self existent,
eternal and complete and self contained,
beyond grasp of mind, innate life current,
is-ness of being-ness, pure and unstained,
feeling dual pulse, that love be ingrained.
Mind body ensouled for earth life parlance,
dream from where we awake in innocence,
upon discerning that love is the all,
with the rest of it, a thought construct dance.
We awaken here when we hear His call.
