Premium Member Emergent Property

Consciousness is the scintillating blaze
alive on a smoldering log,
a flame emergent from complex interplays
of biology and environment.

Consciousness is greater than the cumulative 
elements from which it is produced,
a roving free-form swirling cloud,
a wandering storm over the latest landscape.

Consciousness is always emergent 
like an undulating flock of birds.
like the windswept grains of sand dunes. 

Consciousness is collectively aware,
a normative quest linked to community survival,
a reaching within for a larger knowing.

Our God may be a force outside time and space,
a consciousness of collective consciousnesses,
a vast power offering the ethics of our survival,
		an emergent property of our collective minds.


Premium Member Anomie

Dowry, drug addiction, and domestic violence rule
Female foeticide and female infanticide go cool.
Abortions, corruption, and gender inequality
Racism, human trafficking, casteism, and poverty
Food adulteration, wealth hoarding, consumerism, and greed
With many such evils, we, as a society, bleed.

Where are our good-bad consciences and consciousnesses?
Where are our ethically fit philanthropic choices?
Like a crack in the rail track, there's moral delinquency.
There's a slip of synchrony in the social symphony.
Virtues, like iron in saline waters, are eroded.
Human regulations seem to be, from somewhere, goaded.

Are our weak feet slipping from the edge of a worn-out cliff?
Do we, in our sailing, seek for each leg a single skiff?
Our link to each other, to shun anomie, should unite.
Though small, for the good of all, shouldn’t we bestow our mite?
Ritualism, retreatism, and rebellion should end.
Our knees, to compassion, temperance, and justice, should bend

Premium Member Pure Awareness

Pure awareness 
Unattached to form
Just IS
As it IS
Complete
But since the awareness wishes
Choicelessly wishes
To engage in movement
It does
Creating matter
And energising it
With a part of itself
Without reducing itself
Or being affected by matter
Though in it, with it
And so
Matter ...
Or consciousness 
Thus energised
By awareness
Yawns
Stirs
Stretches
Awakens
And becomes itself ...
Awareness
There then being no difference
No separateness
Between the awareness
That brought this awareness
Into being
And ITSELF

The human form
Of consciousness 
Is the latent awareness
Having already yawned
Already stirred
And now awakening
Within form 
To become awareness
Pure awareness
Without form
The body
An instrument magnificent 
Enigmatically magnificent 
Within which
Consciousness detects
Grid lines that connect ...
The entire body itself ...
Completely
Each grid line 
Having nodes
These nodes are then occupied 
Energised
By awareness
Making them conscious 
Just as awareness
Once made consciousness awareness
And so
Each node is now consciousness 
Enabling awareness 
To be joyous in movement 
Of the node consciousness
Born
Energised 
And awakening
Within it
Later to be distinct though unified 
To itself become awareness 
As is ALL

These grid lines
All interconnected 
Across the body
Of which the spine to head chakras ...
Are but one 
A prominent one but nevertheless  ...
One of several grids
Each continuum of the grid
Whether at the node or without
Being alive & aware
So as such
Everything being awareness
In entirety 
Yet ...
The magnification of awareness
At the nodes 
Which are consciousnesses 
Dormant and now created, born 
Or say energised
Awaken
And thereby enable
The totality of consciousness 
Within form awakening 
And experiencing awakening
In conjunction within
Nodes awakening
In unison
As a symphony
Of the formless movement
Of awareness itself
Are connected at all continuums 
Of the entirety of awareness
Boundlessly
Within form
Without form
As the one awareness
That IS

Disclaimer: 

No elaboration offered
For the revelation in stillness 
Which each consciousness 
Awakening
To & as awareness
In timeless time
Receives and becomes
As One in Oneness 
Pure Awareness

Premium Member The Tiger Between Us

The Tiger Between Us

Maybe she knows how big my heart is when no one counts the distance anymore,
How this cosmic muscle stretched all the way to her, like a fate choosing a wound,
My love for her is like a boat lost on an ocean without eternal margins,
And in this boat lives a tiger—the distance that breathes without roaring.

It doesn't attack me with fangs, just inhales in silence reminding me perpetually
How far away she is and how close her absence remains like a phantom,
Sometimes I think it guards me, other times I know for sure it locks me in a cage,
I row with burned skin, with trembling hands, with hunger sculpted in my bones.

Thirst is written on my lips like a psychedelic mantra that never erases,
Still I move forward—distance, even as a wild beast, still allows the journey,
I believed for entire centuries that she was waiting for me beyond this blue water,
A shore, an end, an answer—but the ocean taught me what my eyes refused.

There is no other side—she's not standing beyond waiting with open arms,
She is the ocean itself, the magical depth where I melt in liquid waves,
When I understood this, the struggle changed its meaning like a hypnotic spiral,
I no longer chase dry land—I surrender to the depths, become part of salt water.

The more I accept that she is the living ocean that swallows me tenderly,
The more I dissolve inside her—the tiger of distance weakens hungrily,
One day it will die in silence, starved by my total surrender without resistance,
And I will disappear—not body, not name—but separate existence that evaporates.

I will never touch her—I will become her, ocean and waltz and breath,
What remains of me will no longer know where I end and where she begins,
Psychedelic fusion of consciousnesses melted in the marine depth of infinite love,
The tiger between us dies when I understand—distance is illusion, we are one.

Premium Member Is Not This the Brevity of Human Life- -

Is not this the brevity of human life?
In my conciseness and exacting mentions
The proper use of words in my writing or speeches, huh
In awe, at naught-what
Is not this the brevity of human life?
While filling my mind of redundant thoughts
Conciseness What, Concision Why, 
Succinctness Yes,
Is not this the brevity of human life?
Economy of the stock market crashes the economy clashes raise more taxes , huh!
Language skill, consciousnesses, shortness IRS you either do or don’t pay your taxes; 
Briefness stills faithful wills, 
Pithiness jaunt, pith, incisiveness skills,
Is not this the brevity of human life?
Crispness words rips truths and lies spills;
And we're all compactness together, 
And we shall compression compactness, compression forever (huh); 
Laconic, terseness, pointlessness, curtness, abruptness;  (what)
"This  verse notable for its clarity and brevity"
Shortness of time, why;
"This verse is or isn’t the brevity of human life"
This verse	shortness, briefness, transience, What
It’s transitiveness, ephemerality What!,
Impermanence Huh??
Is, is not the brevity of human life-Huh
What is not this the brevity of human life?
Is not this the brevity of human life?

Premium Member Journey of Self To Self Through Self

In the beginning
childlike innocence
and softened attention
gently rotated polarities 
in carefree playful parlance 

With formation of ego identity
came immersion in narrowness 
stagnation in domain of transience
enveloping us in delusion of separateness 

Upon exhausting and expending all our energy
recognising the futility of our stuporous indulgence 
thought rested attention distilled in divine entwined synergy

The dropping of fears & desires spiralling the external ephemeral 
unifying our in-form and formless consciousnesses with love eternal 

In prayerful surrender
