Premium Member The Buddha Meets Christmas

Down the fervent aeons Buddha’s sagesse,
casts its august shroud on benign witness,
shades, shadows, subtle symbol shift,
encompass cosmopolitan and temporal,
incongruous to flaccid predilection feigned,
astute statue of nuance and nicety,
crosses annual acme’s snowflake whirl,
Christmas that propitious seasonable fount, 
amid the merriment and jubilation stirred,
can wry dispensation be somehow drowned,
sculpted mould epitomising solemn pearls,
to counter spartan sparkle an uneven match,
for the blissful bubble oft recurrent judder,
though evaluation oscillates on this thorny subject,
palatial  gift as lavish token bountiful toward,
unswerving fellow  pilgrims of  our jagged journey,
despite the avalanche of advertiser’s counterfoil,
triumphant warm rush Burra Din advantage,
can engender migrating episodes deft mutual,
as the Buddha manifests a dovetail harmony,                
strained coexistence with December frolic
in the most enshrined  but unforeseen locations,
where Buddha influencer might drop wry hints,
juxtapose amidst jollied Christmas victuals,
where bear necessity bordering on martyrdom,
is gratuitously extolled in quaint quintessential quote,
that arrant caustic jibe at the apparently trivial,
the importance of recurring benchmark scope,
as that valid institution built on solid query,
might be seen as an awkward encroachment,
to the much pilloried fanfare of modern life,
changes are afoot when blind pursuit exhales,
has in zoom of instance been Buddha fostered,
if one probes forensically profound into the furore,
where future life burden is an exponential angst,
so abundant amid a sinister spiralling pessimism,
the seeds have been planted in a sprouting urn,
for above the shoulder carry torch consciousness,
a synchronous embryonic Buddha ethos at the core,
one is cognisant of this in zealous online sweeps,
where a budding spirit Christmas mosaic adjunct,                   
is a Buddhaesque nod on foot of wellness kinship
to concatenate shrouded inkling o’er enduring quest,
on the universal isthmus of humanity plagued by panacea,
one suspends as Buddha meets Christmas on a jubilant,
 December day exuding generous exchange across the globe,
it’s a down the centuries dilemma entangled in time,


Premium Member Awareness

Core of consciousness 
Self aware awareness
Absorbed in the flow of attention
In enabled spectrum of vibration 
Wherein we are alive & present
Through mind & body cognisant

There are three frequency bands
In the continuum where we stand
Satva & Rajas & Tamas
Orbit of attention therein continuous
So unless we choose to focus
Reflex instinct determines our locus

As we shift through waking & dreaming
Deep sleep and Turiya whilst meditating 
We recognise that it is our innate priority 
Which determines attention flow affinity
It being thus the consciousness fulcrum 
Deciding flow of our attention pendulum 

There being no instant remedy
To get to the Satvik frequency 
Save continuous contemplative correction
Making our orientation unbroken meditation 
Surrendering to the divine by simply allowing
Imbibing rapturous bliss within electrifying

The non-doer doing we do is to simply align
With the subtle pulsations of the divine 
As we weed out gross ferality layer by layer 
Stilling our being in earnest & fervent prayer
Seeking nothing save unbroken connection
That attention resonates with the Ohm vibration

Boundaries blur between form & formlessness 
As subject & object merge the field is oneness

A meditation on that that is as is
The unstruck sound accompanied with a bliss fizz
Within the heart
Is where it starts
In stillness & silence we may listen
To the inner sound current that glistens
Vibrancy
In constancy

In case we are yet not cognisant
If inner sense polarity is dormant
We may sit in silence listening to nature sounds
Waterfall, leaves rustling, laughter of children in a playground 
The essence of this practice being make attention one pointed
Within the vibration cognised is realisation automatically granted
All the doing we do is to choose to dissolve in the current
The Absolute being instantly available in this moment

Premium Member Slow Boat

With God our guide, we gently glide
Cognisant of the life current
On a joy ride, with love inside

Life dignified, thoughts bona fide
Ego decadent, soul vibrant
With God our guide, we gently glide

Bliss throb within, never subsides
Unveiling soul luminescent 
On a joy ride, with love inside

Nonjudgmental eye, none we chide
Softened attention, acceptant
With God our guide, we gently glide

Heart open wide, why would we hide
Emoting loving sentiment
On a joy ride, with love inside

Erect is our stance, bold our stride
Unhurried about our ascent 
With God our guide, we gently glide
On a joy ride, with love inside

Note To the Reader

A note for you, 
    dear reader.
My writing is not always traditional, 
   not iambic pentameter as taught in school.
As with my life, 
   I shy away from the standards, 
Reminiscent perhaps of the 60, 70's generation 
   of free thinkers, change makers, trip takers,
   now, abundant baby boomers.
We still like to think and believe 
   in life possibilities and the part we play,
   and a coming of the world to peace.
This blend of prose and poetry you read - 
   is me and it may change with time 
   as it has done in the past.
But be cognisant of this me I am 
   and the me with more possibility 
   of who I want and may yet be.
and hopefully these random, pensive writings
   may be some inspiration to each of you.

Premium Member Dweller of the Void

Dweller of the void

Void centric awareness,
attentive to what is,
negating not here this,
entwined with That oneness,
radiates soul’s bliss fizz.

Void centric awareness,
in but not of the world,
within womb of peace curled,
dwells in time stretched stillness,
no longer by thoughts twirled.

Void centric awareness,
in the here now present,
invites God’s joy current
to usher blissfulness;
of each throb, cognisant.

Void centric awareness,
melds with the flow of life,
at each moment bliss rife
in agendalessness,
free from struggle and strife.

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita Verse 13:2

13.2
“The body is strained by practices
The tongue tires of scripture
The mind numbs with meditation
Detached from all this,
I live as I am”


The matrix of in-form body consciousness 
Employs limited bandwidths of vibration
Perceiving with defective awareness
Interpreting in patterned grooves of stagnation 

Yoga, meditation, service or devotion
The rituals and forms but offer hypnotic solace
They offer temporary peace by reinforcing ego delusion 
Falling way too short of connecting with Divine grace

The root of all limitation
Lies in association with the mind body combine
If we be as we are in childlike elation
With the pulsations of the Divine we automatically align

The flow thus being in the present moment continuum 
Wherein we are as we are complete
In stillness observing movement of the maya pendulum 
Always with the Divine nectar replete

Verse revisited on 16-November-2021

Doing nothing, simply present
We are as are in our native element 
Mindful eye of each pulsation cognisant

Body ages, memory fades, we learn
Misaligned from love, suffer, burn
Narrow cravings of ego upturn

God omnipresent, here within
Silence the void, where we begin
Feeling then, bliss throb on our skin 

Ceasing to weigh and size, we vaporise
Receptive to each offered surprise 
Feel oh hermit, magnetism rise

Exiting limited mind borne doership
Head-heart melds ending one-upmanship
Through day and night unending our worship 

We negate not this here mind-body combine 
Simply ceasing doing, with love we align
Playing earth role as God does assign

Nothing to be done, we’re bliss replete
Nodes within dance to the divine love beat
As magically rises within us, magnetic bliss heat

What is the void as in no-thingness
Wherein Shiva resides
As the pulse within in our emptiness 
In resonance we abide

Awareness & sentience of no-mind
Limited self vaporises
What upon empty space has a bind
As we behold surprises

It is form that being limited may feel
Magnetism within rising
Cognisant of ecstasy in full appeal
The life current vivifying 

Meditating thus in continuity 
Unifying with Shiva a certainty 

We may if we wish, tweak this meditation
Assigning initially to the void a colouration 
The masters propose the colour blue
Dwelling upon it our stillness we renew
Slowly allowing the colour to fade
Whereupon we enter Shivas formless glade

Premium Member KNOWINGLY SECURED-Following the heart of my Father-

Following the heart of my Father
Knowingly secured
Vulnerable yet embraced
I look upon His grace
As I appreciate His taste,
Liken of lavender and honey cone;

Welcoming
His so Breath kiss my lungs I feel His embrace
Unlimited
Peaceful, intimate soul secure;
I love Him my Father;
The creator, Elohim, my Daddy
Abba, Father
Timeless now alive
My ALL ABBA FATHER GOD

The follower of my heart and soul
The reason why I’m here
Vulnerable yet embraced
I look upon His grace
As I appreciate His taste,
Liken of lavender and honey cone;
Welcoming
Knowingly secured
Following the heart of my Father

Premium Member Bliss Vivified Is-Ness

As we be breathed, by grace divine sublime
We nestle into the tranquil silence 
Magnetic trumpets sound rapturous chime
Rekindling the flame of our innocence 

Transmuting to become, current vibrant
Save love and light, the lower disappears
Joyous presence, to each pulse cognisant
Celebrates as bliss each node within spears

No seeking remains, as we simply flow
Dynamic stillness is now the new norm
Petal by petal, we blossom and grow
Centred in midst of this benign bliss storm

Cauldron of love within, does slowly stir 
Wafting fragrance of divine elixir
