Egregious discreet escapades

I sought amorous affections

Premium Member The Deep Blue Sea

Boundless and limitless in depth,	
the deep blue sea is at rest										
A continuum of ebbs and flows,									
easing without cause,											
never ceases to gain only pause.

Then currents arise from movements below,							
tranquility disturbed for a new show.								
Crashing waves sending water into the sky,								
every crescendo, begs to know why.

Droplets appear in desperation,								 	
was this only due to life’s separation..									
Bright beams of light break into view,									
seems vaguely familiar, 									
somehow not new.

Now the journey seems all too reminiscent,								
as the cresting comes to its ultimate end.								
Droplets reunite with its founder,								
completing its journey from down under.

Boundless and limitless in depth,									
the deep blue sea is at rest.										
A continuum of ebbs and flows, 									
easing without cause,											
never ceases to gain only pause.

Premium Member This Dream That Is Life

the me gets lost
in the vastness of the you

a drop in the ocean
meshing in harmony

symbiotic the stillness
at the heart of my storm

I give in and feel the power
in unity with our universe

silence flows through me
with the galaxies’ secrets

lifetimes cycling and recycling
orchestrated breaking and merging

the crests of waves as one
in continuous motion of life and death

one day we will wake from this dream
and reunite on the other side

illusion is time on a continuum
I let go and I am

I let you go and there I find you
closer to me than ever

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

What Inchoate Flux If Any Preceded Timelessness

What Inchoate Flux (if Any) Preceded Timelessness?

Temporarily engrossed
     with some routine
     activity with aplomb
(such as dismantling
     an atomic bomb)
every now, and

     again these myopic
     (brown) eyes regularly glanced
     at the clock calm
lee aware of traversing,
     thru space/time continuum,
     for no apparent

     reason, (or rhyme)
     I suddenly felt damn
founded, and struck
     with quirky query,
     asper, whence upon
     whatever revelation

     did the passage of seconds,
     minutes, or hours did ham
handedly become codified,
     delineated, and etched
     allowing, enabling,
     providing humans

     to fritter away life
     in a traffic jam
hence, ewe may
     cock head sideways,
     or bleat me like a lamb
moost likely breaking out

     [with the verse a ram...sam...sam
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
     A ram sam sam, a ram sam sam
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
     A rafiq, a rafiq
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
     A rafiq, a rafiq
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam]

perhaps, now even 
     more so befuddled than before
by my challenge
     to communicate,
vizier, i.e., whether ye har
     sir man or ma'am

how the vista of
     the past present or future
     (oh...way before 'Nam!)
basically what conditions -

     also oh yea,
     way before Ram
mud Dan coalesced
     to beget getting the
     shed jewel for the tram
so as NOT tug git supervisor
     to hit you with a WHAM!


Premium Member Try To Imagine

“All minds and hearts connected with love and light of universal consciousness, in a flicker free continuum ~ what does life on such a planet look like?”  Quote given by Unseeking Seeker

Try to imagine this: a string of lights
extraordinarily beautiful
in different shapes, sizes and hues
similar to Christmas lights.
See it in your mind’s eye
strung across a place
so wonderful
there are no
words for
it!
Those
bright lights
never die.
They are the lights
of all God’s spirits,
and they can’t dim, for each
one feeds off the energy
of the others – energy which
magnifies God’s love. Where is this place?
Obviously it has to be Heaven!

Premium Member In the garment of loyalty, once I whispered

In the garment of loyalty, once I whispered,
But every love, in time, was restrained.
Happiness, a relic hunted in vain,
In the quest for meaning, life turned bitter.
To be normal, an illusion that dissipates,
Certain of what I did not want, but unsure of what I crave.
Fate's taste for troubles, deep and unending,
A journey through shadows, secrets hidden at dusk.
The uncertainty of interests, a dance of enigmas,
Life embraced, as if under an incantation.
God or illusion, the choice shrouded in mist,
In the face of death, without fear, only hope.
When and how, only shadows know,
Intertwined motives, reasons to flow.
In the abysses of consciousness, the murmur of the night dances,
A tapestry of pains, guarded in the voice's silence.
In forests of mystery, among contemplative stars,
My soul hides, alone, dreamy, and fearful.
Past and present, in a continuous stream entwine,
The thoughts of my life, in an endless dream revolve.
A river of memories, in the depths unexplored by desire,
My lost love, in the haze of a consciousness dream.
In the mystic night, shadows dance,
Reflecting fragile dreams, baptized in their waltz.
An emerald continuum, through oceans of melancholy,
My lost love, calling in absence and solitude.
The whispers of time, like an ancient wind,
Caress the wounds, in a therapeutic dance.
In the face of the unknown, I lose myself in reflection,
Questioning the meaning, in the whirlpools of eternity.
This is destiny, in the mysterious flow of my consciousness,
A journey through galaxies of dreams, in heavy cosmic robes.
In the ruins of hope, I find fragments of escaped truth,
My eternal love, like a fire comet through the universe escapes.

Premium Member What Is Real

Myriad thought forms manifest bubbles
That which lower mind calls reality
Yet desire precedes thought, a truth simple

If desire springs from geniality
What arises from love, is elation
Whilst narrow cravings birth turbidity

Gods worlds, epitome of perfection
Contrasted by utter chaos upon earth 
Methinks, ego cause of agitation

Joy to us innate, flowing, bubbling mirth
We seem to have lost track, along our way
Take refuge, oh hermit, in hearts warm hearth

Life after life, we continue to sway
Immersed in illusions, borne of our mind
Life beauteous, yet all we see is grey

Exit from delusion, easy to find
Staring at us in the void of silence
Pristine stillness frees us from ego bind

Born free, forever free, in innocence 
No anchor for rancour or stagnation
In continuum of divine parlance 

Clear light dawns, when thus in meditation 
One with God and with entire creation

Premium Member All Embracing Heart

the void absorbs 
vast array of energy orbs
viewing with non-judgmental eye
arms open in embrace, none does it decry

life giving light of the sun blesses one and all
even though but a handful few stand tall
those dwelling in deep dungeons dark
they too feel the throb of love hark

man endowed by power to discern 
way to shed baser instincts yet to learn
empowerment instant in the void of stillness 
with head and heart aligned attuned to oneness

in time recognising that everything is vibration
outer eye sees but temporal manifestation
ego mind stagnation in a narrow view
whilst love each instant renews

oh hermit, cultivate mindfulness 
flowing continuum caring gentleness 
vibrant within, outpouring love unceasing
moment to moment in sync with our breathing

Premium Member Fullness In Emptiness

Sans thought interference, glows innocence 
We’re in the vibrant void of cessation
Awakes then thus our inner sentience
In continuum of meditation 
Becoming our soul’s orientation 
Mother’s grace enlivens each cell within
Felt within as magnetic vibration 
As we here and now, with this breath begin

Bliss bubbles burst forth love effervescence 
Seamless and unending, our elation
Pristine pure heart brightens life’s ambience
Divine entwined, one with all creation
Our emptiness, The Mother’s play station 
Delusion drops, as also karmic sin
Dormant nodes awake, by love’s aeration
As we here and now, with this breath begin

God dwelling within, speaks as our conscience 
His voice heard, upon desire negation
Soundless bliss thunder, our inner silence
Suspended in heightened animation
Transfixed as renews, rapture ignition
Cave of heart open, so we go therein
Drawing in soma by resonation
As we here and now, with this breath begin

In heart resounds, Ohm reverberation 
Each pore a pin where bliss tingles our skin
Shift’s from negation to celebration 
As we here and now, with this breath begin
