Vijnana Bhairava TantraBoth void & manifestation
Spanda: life pulse vibration
Expanding & contracting
Concealing & revealing
Stupefying & illuminating
Separating & uniting
Shiva’s self luminescence
In playful innocence
Creating a pulse of separation
Culminating in divine union
Paths four for liberation
All found in the void...

Gatekeeper of Space TimeAs the gatekeeper of both time and space,
surfing the bardo that lies in between
aether and form, wherefrom radiates grace,
existence reveals its throbbing bliss sheen.
Singular Self has an urge to create
a domain where ascent follows descent,
that...

Immersed in limitation
Shrouded in darkness
Feeling thus confined
We flounder about
Hither and thither
Searching for joy
Bliss in permanence
Yet our heart senses
That we are far...

Love waves a wandNegating nothing, accepting what is,
we begin then with this organic shell,
where stuporous mind treats life like a quiz,
birthing fears though heart tells us all is well.
For our well-being, we struggle and strive
but joy in permanence...

A Deeper DivideDreams herein, our progeny, still birth sometimes inside,
blind and rigor twisted, formless foetuses upon
the terrace steps where innocence bled and occasionally died
screeching for salvation when every shred of hope was gone.
Yet also soared in glorious...

Letter To Our ChildrenHere we are, on planet earth
In human form, with senses five
God wishes heart bubbles with mirth
That stirrings of love, joyfully come alive
God’s plan seems easy and fun at first glance
But looking outward, attention externalised
Bemused...

See To BelieveBelieve not scriptures
Believe when we see
See myriad forms
See play of desire
Desire spawns thought
Desire seeks fulfilment
Fulfilment momentary
Fulfilment fickle
Fickle and unstable
Fickle so disable
Disable desire
Disable all knowing
Knowing but experience
Knowing limited
Limited is our mind
Limited are our senses
Senses...

If Thine Eye Be Singlein the beginning, we may say
we dwelt in stupor of separation
awareness dulled, driven by desire
oblivious to the vibrancy of bliss elation
senses externalised, thoughts blocking surprise
somewhere we lost our childlike spontaneity
enmeshed thus in a web of...

Earth Life, a Hard SchoolEarth life, a hard school, dark desire cesspool,
Senses externalised, all objects sized,
No wonder then, we behave like a fool,
Truth dawns, when by Holy Spirit baptised.
Ego controls thoughts, so we’re ill-advised,
Body hormones rule, our instincts cruel,
Bemused...

Ashtavakra Gita Verse 19:2
19.2
“Where is meditation, pleasure, prosperity
or discrimination? Where is duality?
Where even is Unity?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Aliveness InnateAliveness innate, all else illusion
Mind body, an earth interface transient
Bliss renews within, without cessation
Joyous rapture, our native element
Externalised self, deaf to the current
Mired in feral thought patterned stagnation
Dead man walking, being not here present
Aliveness innate,...

Death of Formwe are here
in this mind body
our senses externalised
immersed in duality
it then no wonder
that limitation
surrounds us
confining
our soul
our soul
we know not
since the truth is veiled
so we take
ourself
to be
ego
to find joy
we form attachments
with other such entities
to enliven mind...

Destiny of ManSenses five externalised
Analytical mind, objects sized
Yet power of reason, now our prison
Life whizzes by, too late at death we wisen
Recognising that we are not mind-body
We are divine, on earth for study
Learning love alone as...

Who Am IHeart is at ease, yet mind wishes to know
Consciousness fulcrum, that keeps us aglow
We see around, sacred geometry
As our breath flows in continuity
Senses externalised, everything sized
Mysterious love touch, not realised
Scriptures aplenty but they all confound

Are We EducatedHaving chosen to feel contrast
Is it not strange that we feel aghast
Immersed in this dual realm of limitation
Imagining as real, our life on earth play station
Deluded, in vain we attempt to enhance the status

within which is soul, wishing to ascend

Embrace and Release
Embrace and release, each life pulse with ease,
celebrating God-bestowed offering.
Mind knows not where lies fulcrum of a sneeze;
ego spawned thoughts, cause of our suffering.
Senses externalised, all objects sized,
we limit awareness by our own hand.
Little wonder...

I Shoulda Seen It ComingI shoulda seen it comin’
but was so entrenched in sin,
that enslaved by senses five,
dark desires kept me alive.
Attention externalised,
everything I did was sized,
deadened to caress of love,
head and heart, not hand in glove.
I was a...

Cave of our heartHemmed in by space-time and captive in form,
senses externalised, everything sized,
in bondage to lust, by dark fears chastised,
what choice do we then have, but to conform?
We notice thoughts are cold but heart is warm
