Premium Member We Walk Alone

From birth to death, each of us walks alone,
in as a narrative we wish to feel,
thus as we embrace, release and atone,
we rely on God’s love and light to heal.
In a subject-object relationship,
we believe ourself to be feeble form
and engaged in games of one-upmanship,
earth life for most part, is a turbid storm.
We know not who we are and yet live on,
in pursuit of ephemeral desires
and so it continues, both praise and scorn,
until the day our exhausted heart tires.
Shifting horizons now hold no appeal,
somewhat diminished is our zest and zeal.

Somewhat diminished is our zest and zeal,
discovering our efforts were in vain,
upon which in altar of God we kneel,
praying love and light glows in heart again.
Recognising that we script not our fate,
shifting into silence, we become still,
making our heart once more, childlike and chaste,
that by grace divine, voids within may fill.
Having thus relinquished our thought flow crutch,
we surrender, melding head with our heart,
ingraining direct wisdom by soul’s touch,
mindfully choosing to add love to cart.
Emptiness then, is the way to begin;
cave of heart’s open, so we go therein.

Cave of heart’s open, so we go therein,
remaining aware with nary a care,
whereupon we feel magnetism plug-in,
cajoling our polarities to pair.
As a receptor, there’s nothing we do,
for to be truthful, there is no road map 
and each nuance felt is pristine and new,
drawing us to God by closing the gap.
We shout from the rooftops but no one hears,
unable to comprehend the bliss flame,
held in benign currents, God Himself steers,
revealing deep wisdom that has no name.
In a realm dual, in bondage to mind,
we know not the truth, because we are blind.

We know not the truth, because we are blind
but now having seen, with our inner eye,
we cognise God is wise, loving and kind,
known if we agree to let ego die.
We cling to identity, which is not,
in as it is merely a thought construct 
but on shifting to heart, as we all ought,
our false self dies, we see it self-destruct.
It is clear that although monks wish to share,
the wisdom sublime, they have so imbibed,
those who refuse to see, just cannot pair,
enslave by ego, which has always lied.
Harvest of grace is reaped, as of seeds sown;
from birth to death, each of us walks alone.


Premium Member Kundalini Part 5 of 5

As deepening silence and stillness become our fulcrum
We cognise an energy grid dividing form vertically 
We flow with awareness at the pivot of the pendulum 
Whilst witnessing the meridian coming to life magically!

Our attention now internalised unendingly meditating
We feel all chakras resonating with the life force
Frequency of each node varying and yet blending
With the reverberation Ohm emanating from the source

Slowly becoming empty within with the pulse of love we align
Boundaries between form and formlessness begin to blend
Our emptiness rich in fullness of elixirous magnetism divine
The residual ego we have now pliable begins to bend

The soma nectar flow increases in potency as of our worship 
It is irrelevant to speculate or debate as to its origin 
The upper ovoid of Ajna-Sahasrara-Bindu combine in partnership 
To enrich our being with vitality and tranquility sanguine 

In timeless time the Universe opts to reactivate & renew
The fused unity of kundalini seated at the crown humming
Thus Hiranyagarbha, the cosmic egg splits into two
Shiva & Shakti descend into their abode in heart entwining

Following the union there is then an explosion in slow motion
Teleporting us into climaxical ecstasy & rapture ineffable
The omnipotent burst of power manifesting as bliss celebration 
Root to crown ignited & alive as the rod of initiation! A miracle!

The blissful energy benign and yet roaring with full power
It seems that fragile form cannot contain the energy
Yet the gentle curve of unfolding the divine grace shower
Aligns all lifetrons within in beauteous synergy 

Energy heightened at chakra zones and alive throughout the grid
Unknown centres and nadis open up as we look on in wonder 
In acceptant doerless childlike simplicity we just do as we are bid
Being to become one with bliss in permanence; the soundless thunder!

This phase of consolidation becomes an embodiment of our being
Bliss within always ceaselessly purring
From time to time as of choiceless choice it begins roaring
Be it day or night, such is is-ness of blossoming

Thus we see that at the heart we began
With a simple burning yearning
Give kundalini any name, it’s power Brahman spans 
Finally within the cave of heart humming

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita Verse 14:3-14:4

14.3
“I have realized the Supreme Self, 
the Witness, the One
I am indifferent
to bondage and freedom.
I have no need for liberation”

14.4
“The inner condition
of one who is devoid of doubt
yet moves among creatures of illusion 
can only be known by those like him”


What is realisation
What is awakening
If there remains doubt or hesitation 
In conclusions arising from our contemplation 
Then we are still searching
There being a gap in our so connecting
Our consciousness with supreme awareness 
Blockages impeding full flow of Divine fragrance 

After the initial witnessing or experiencing 
There is a long road in consolidating & assimilating
The knowing
Not quite the becoming
As long as the current is intermittent
We are short of full enlightenment 
And whilst the glimpses are encouraging 
We need to surrender fully to cognise the Supreme all pervading

The symptoms manifest may yet be as stated as unseeking
We may be content in the Divine stream within us flowing
Yet to be truthful can we affirm the validity
Of being connected to the Source in an unbroken continuity 
Being detached and desireless is an orientation laudable
But to say that we are free of doubt is a concept laughable 
So whilst we patiently and trustingly await our blossoming
We are humble in confessing that we are still unseekingly seeking

Verse 14.3-14.4 revisited on 17-November-2021

Mere affirmation
Not a confirmation 
Although we confess
That there’s been progress 
With glimpses offered
Wisdom proffered
In a slow tease
That does please
Essence of presence
Blissful joyous innocence 
Knowing God in-dwells each form
Birthing magnetic rapture warm
No sooner ego disappears 
God Himself appears

The way is simple 
Though mind fickle
Once it melds with heart
Feel therein bliss ignition start
Soma nectar flows through nadis
Heightened ecstatic joy in continuity
Each pore a door, do we yet need more
There is no one here keeping a score 
All is, as is, a bliss continuum 
Each node our sensorium 
Love meads, we follow
In stillness mellow
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Invoking grace

The flame of awareness is held by God,
which we cognise when fickle mind is still,
that ego vaporised, frigid heart thawed,
dove of love perches on soul’s window sill.
There is in truth nothing we need to do,
save remaining poised in the vibrant void,
mindfully sensing throb of bliss renew,
revealing our pristine Self unalloyed.
Thoughts are the blockage and once we know this,
feeling, not thinking, head and heart linking,
we are bestowed by Divine Mother kiss,
shifting us to awareness unblinking.

The difficulty is in letting go ~
Ego recedes when flow of thought is slow

***

Ego recedes when flow of thought is slow,
which reworded means we cease to exist,
save as a love mist reflecting God’s glow,
melding with vast space, ceasing to resist.
Now since we do not wish to disappear,
we continue flirtation with desire,
dwelling in darkness and harbouring fear,
remaining thus in bondage till we tire.
On realising there’s nothing out there,
we finally stop struggling and striving,
turning inward and becoming aware,
of lower mind and ego conniving. 

For God it is enough, that we seek Him ~
It matters not if sight of soul is dim

***

It matters not if sight of soul is dim,
provided our heart is childlike and pure,
by day and night singing for God a hymn,
weeding away lust, making soul demure.
What happens then is this, suffused with bliss,
all nodes within form dance in unison;
the serpent rises, with a benign hiss
and we reclaim light of the central sun.
Our transmutation thus as living light,
is done when we choose with God to entwine,
whereupon we’re graced with spherical sight
and with His law of love gently align.

Beholding soul’s light within, we are awed ~
The flame of awareness is held by God

Premium Member Beyond Belief

For too long we have been twirled about by mind
and we see now that we're still at the start line,
since thoughts orbit fears that grip us in their bind,
mirroring desire that let's us not align
with the pulse of innocence, joyful and kind,
being whispers of love that for love does pine.
In bondage to form and conditioned belief,
we're stirred by cry of soul, begging for relief.

Our body is merely dust, yet we are proud
of our ethnic group or method of worship;
religious intolerance, ignorance shroud,
employing rigid views, shooting from the hip,
doing more harm than good, cacophony loud,
denying all souls are forged from the same chip,
labelling God and fighting wars in His name;
dwelling in lower mind, which is a big shame.

Liking not what we see, yearning to be free,
as a rebel, a nerd, we renounce the herd,
simply choosing with throb of love to agree,
whereupon bliss within our pure heart is stirred,
and we’re then no longer tied to a mind tree,
for with whispers of conscience, soul has concurred.
Recognising the same sun shines upon all,
vaporised self is engulfed by a bliss squall.

Beyond belief, that's merely rooted in thought,
we imbibe God's love and light, which we cognise,
transcending fears and desires ego begot,
living in the now, ceasing to weigh and size,
reducing thereby feral cravings to naught,
beholding in wonder, bliss pulsations rise.
In time dissolved stillness, choosing to be still,
by God's bountiful grace, we heal and voids fill.

Premium Member Twice Born We Live On

shifting into the void
yet in occupation of form
as identityless presence
we cognise that what is
what was and what will be
is aliveness as awareness
immediate and intimate
awareness self aware
eternal and unchanging
as the life essence of self

the self we allude to
is neither narrow identity
nor conditioned thought
rooted in habit patterns
relying upon blurred memory
based on foggy perception
orbiting ego borne craving
in the world of transience
where resident in feeble form
the entity flounders about

self as presence self existent 
is as is complete and illumined
detached from this mind body 
though in occupation of it
as a vehicle to navigate earth 
via sheaths of consciousness 
vitalising the material casing
by three pranic electricities
energised by spirit at the core
blissful in the cave of the heart

the three electricities alluded to
first being the very breath of God
enabling we as He be breathed
feeling through the senses five
having outer and inner polarities 
with lower mind for discernment
higher connected to the universe
thus jiva & Atma & Paramatma 
or we may say body & soul & spirit
as manifestations of the That one 

the true purpose of life begins
when the three aspects of the one
come into alignment with love
being the only true God vibration 
reflected within as our conscience 
all else but ego thought constructs 
thus upon the ego or mind body 
aligning with soul or higher mind
merging by melting into spirit or love
then free of all bondage we awake

The third eye of Shiva!
Demons reduced to ash!
Ego seeking this power-enigma 
That ascension it may encash

Beginning thus with a nebulous concept
Identity craving for Godlike enablement 
Adopts yogic techniques suspect
To awaken kundalini from containment 

Lucky then are those who fail
To prematurely arouse the serpent power
More oft than not we hear cries & wails
Of ill-timed fellow beings who in fear cower

Overawed by body instruments we forget 
That the goal is about union of self with Self
Unless in purity of being we stand erect
We best put self-aggrandizement on the shelf

This preamble aside we now plot the path
Of the journey of kundalini from root to crown
Each nuance, each pulse a holy sabbath
In stillness we cognise, in inertia we drown

The foremost aspect to keep in mind
Is that we are entering unchartered waters
Thus all limited knowing we leave behind
Getting to the core of the energy that matters

It all begins (and ends) then with our heart
A yearning burning to connect with the divine
We know not the way or how to start
So in gentleness resistanceless we simply align

Let us liken this journey to a union with our lover
Our beloved who is asleep
In rippleless stillness we are ready to wait forever 
For our twin flame to awake from sleep

Such is the determination and the loving resolve
Nullifying the impact of time
Hearts choosing to connect not a problem we solve 
We simply surrender to our inner chime

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita Verse 18:61

18.61
“For the deluded one,
even rest is an activity
For the wise,
even action bears the fruit of stillness”


Stillness within all chaotic movement external
Not by control but as a reflex orientation 
Paves way to cognise movement in stillness internal 
We may call this meditation in continuation 

Meditation effortless 
There being no doer
Presence in stillness 
Has the Divine as the mover

Verse revisited on 02-March-2022

Let’s do a mind-body scan
To know constitution of man
We begin with the head ovoid
Senses and mind by ego buoyed
Our spiritual heart lying in neglect
Burdened by fear, can’t stand erect

Each half breath holds key to freedom
Void of polarity exchange in body prism
When all thoughts cease, we are at ease
Poised in silence, mode embrace-release
Ego recedes since we choose to feed it not
Head melds with heart, no longer fear fraught

The path’s so simple, ending our inner conflict 
Thoughts, words and deeds, now love inked
Mind-body vessel becomes a love crucible
Grace in-pours, the complex now simple
We play out earth life in as is assigned
One with God, nothing to be divined

Doings are done without any fuss
We just go where God takes us
Ensconced in the bliss current
Aglow, alive and luminescent 
Karma ends, life is but play
With love as our mainstay

No! It is not a tragedy of love unfulfilled! Let us see why ...
Upon kundalini reaching the crown, it encounters a narrow orifice
A stream divine and subtle flowing through it into the sky
Kundalini must die, dissolving in the current, spake a divine voice!

By now we have realised that we ourselves are the energy 
Initially asleep, inert and sedentary 
Yet wishing to become infinity
Thus singularity calling duality beaming us back to unity

Upon choosing death over dishonour we plunge into the current
Dissolving our identity in totality
Form dissolved yet strangely we remain aware and cognisant
Entering into space in wholeness and interconnectivity 

Within the vibrant void of oneness awareness 
We are the wholeness of Absoluteness with love our attire
We be to become a co-creator in loving kindness
Yet centred in the spacial vastness we choose to retire

Back to form we sense a consciousness shift beginning
The colouration of love present as bubbling joy & empathy
Manifesting as a magnetic current within tingling
All energy centres resonating joy in harmony

It would seem that the journey has reached a conclusion
But as we know every ending is a new beginning
So as the hues divine transition to bliss and compassion
We cognise the enigmatic heart gently singing!
