This is an old poem written sometime in 2018 or so ~


On first glance
We ...
Meaning our consciousness 
In its unconscious form
Knows only duality
Separateness 
Ego
This knowing
Of duality
Is the truth
For unevolved consciousness 
For, on the surface
That is...

Premium Member Vijnana Bhairava Tantra
Both 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...

“be at ease, oh hermit, in thought free awareness
you are, as you are complete, one with that oneness”

Let us be clear
We are here
In this mind body
Endowed 
With senses five
Having polarities
Out of which 
The inner is...

Premium Member Gatekeeper of Space Time
As 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...

“If you would merge with oneness, vaporise!
Be a child again, welcoming surprise!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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...

Premium Member Love waves a wand
Negating 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 Divide
Dreams 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...

Premium Member Letter To Our Children
Here 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...

Premium Member See To Believe
Believe 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

Premium Member If Thine Eye Be Single
in 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...

Premium Member Earth Life, a Hard School
Earth 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...

Entwining our mind-body to the That...

“Where is meditation, pleasure, prosperity 
or discrimination? Where is duality?
Where even is Unity?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Premium Member Aliveness Innate
Aliveness 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,...

Premium Member Death of Form
we 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...

Senses 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...

Heart 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

Having 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
Of our...

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 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...

Hemmed in by space-time and captive in form,
senses externalised, everything sized,
in bondage to lust, by dark fears chastised,
