Sacred communion,
taken in by mouth
and nose
and ear
and eye
and touch,
compassionately felt in community,

Becomes left-brain anxious about competitive totalitarian communism
while right-brain celebrating cooperative win/win Green Commons
of ancient reproductive health,
bilaterally twinned,
binomially intertwined,
bicamerally belonging

Yet longing not to become entirely ego-absorbed
without remaining cherished interdependent identity,

Part yet whole;
Whole yet apart
holonic
holy 
whole Earth polypathic
polyphonic
polyculturally communal,

Left secularly invincible 
either/or powers of resilient thinking
with sacred resonant Right 
both cognitive and emotive 
pre-visibly invisible,
pre-auditory pregnant silence.

Transparent wombing flexibility
mixed with absorbing love,
together breeding Integrity

Coming of age,
Going of non-change

Viral spirals
downward viciously viscous
and upward 
virtuously visionary,

Outwardly
inward,
anxiously
ubiquitous,
competitively
cooperative.

Identity discovered through relationship,
nutrition recovered through nurturing nature,
culture uncovered through history,
theology covered through ecology,

Transcendent revolution through immanent evolution,
communal experience through communication,
secular thoughts through sacred apparitions,
motions through emotions,

Here through now,
Space through time,
Community through communion.


Premium Member Theodore Travels

Stuck on a hybrid labyrinth race track in undue course

Crash helmet cracked under the raw tempo of stagnation

Chequered flags waving but a motor running against the clock

In reverse and the traffic prohibits pit stops for tyres and fuel

          Exhausted depleted high on adrenaline withdrawal
	
          A silent movie plays on tiring spools of grey matter
	
          More like a collection of photographs in faded sepia
	
          An accident waiting to happen ready for another pile up

The gear box strains in overdrive and the pistons complain

Brake fluid seeps into the cockpit and floods the clutch

Hazards are blinking like a stroboscope and prism of pace

High octane acceleration on a road to immanent nowhere

          Satellite navigation in conflict with his auto pilot
	
          Cruise control on a highway to hell and beyond
	
          Ejector seat wedged into a half open sun roof
	
          Theodore calls 911 and the Thought Police arrive

Arsonists join the scene in fire engines stalled on the emergency lane

The ambulance doctor injects truth serum with dizzying speed

Body bags remain unopened but sanity is scraped off the road

Repackaged sealed in bubble wrap in case the airbag won’t open

          In hospital he wakes off his trolley on a tiny stretcher

          So convoluted they can’t find a straightjacket that fits

          Confined to another bedlam on the psychiatry ward

          And the dashboard flickers on the way to his lost mind

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita Verse 20:10

20.10
“Where is the relative?
Where the transcendent? 
Where is happiness or misery? 
I am empty of thought”

Verse revisited on 26-February-2023

Realms, domains and planes of existence
The manifest worlds of duality and agitation 
Wherein fuelled by misaligned heart’s insistence
Hypnotised by the environment we are in limitation

Upon reaching exhaustion, we surrender and rest
Presence allows currents divine to heal our soul
We then act no longer at lower mind’s behest
Our bliss energised presence feels whole 

Thence although we are here in the world 
We are both transcendent and also immanent 
The trick to bilocate is flag of love must be unfurled
The wisdom imbibed becomes embodiment permanent

Premium Member Rubicon Crossing

it was the day of her birth
when she stood at the Styx
naked but with all bags packed
with immanent sadness and joy
too young for being ambiguous
she let out a scream and let down
a reflex for simply being alive

the sign said dangerous water
touch at your own peril
and be aware that
you cannot swim upstream
therefore move with the flow

she searched for diamonds
proceeded to the delta
past cascades and cataracts
squinted and blinked for
life was like sinkholes and riptides
too much rainfall at times
not enough droplets in the drought

a desert bloom only flowers
every once and a while
with shortcomings 
and impermanence
rapid conclusion 
and yet infinite flourish

thunder clouds lit
an emerald sky
the amber horizon fastened
a rainbow painted in black
but her vision grew from fast
to furious and then serenely calm

a tributary to understanding
meaning pleasure and task
she realized that the flood 
was no deluge and all truth be told
rather a Rubicon to push and absorb

more often than not pleasantly nude
she refused purple emperor’s clothes
preferred rag cloth and bathers
and when she finally sank
her last breath and commitment
was full of happiness crossing
into blessed nothingness of
sacred caress of the embrace

A Growing Need

Like dawn in heat
 I am already slave to your loins
 our impending collision
 the meeting of body and mind
 immanent

A gentle run of tongue
 shimmers parched rims,
 lost fingers are confused
 with buttons and holes

Slowly fabrics are rent
 falling to retire in shreds
 letting shadow and light
 rest on the fusing of our skin

The rod of your desire
 is arched to my wetness
 as buds tip your lips
 my mouth parts

descending to my knees
 your shaft slides down my cheek
 discovering my mouth...
 and the guttural sound of sin 

A moving campaign
 of desire, mind bending waves
 traveled all the rooms with a view
 unbridled hands, roamed
 without thought of destiny 

The whole of your intent
 is rapaciously introduced to heaven
 overwhelmed and conquered
 I am now a lost continent
 awaiting your next expedition

And suspended in
 a pure vacuum of ecstasy
 so exquisite it rests on my soul
 I am imprinted for all time 

... through the window
 an icy breeze dimples my skin
 and I lay in amber light
 humming...

Path of emptiness,
creates space within our heart,
soon suffused by bliss.

What does this entail,
we may ask curiously,
fearing the unknown.

We’re told we are soul
and not this organic form
but how may we know?

All we need to do,
is to distance our presence,
from fear and desire.

We, as the witness
are the eternal subject;
all else are objects.

Objects disappear
from our field of awareness,
on thought cessation.

Dwelling in the void,
our aliveness yet hums on;
as light eternal.

We are transcendent 
and yet in form immanent.
The truth is simple.

We are the light, our heart seeks.

If God’s omnipresent, we must see Him,
feeling His love and light in each heartbeat,
else we roam rudderless at ego’s whim,
twirled about by fate, feeling incomplete.
Upon making God search, our earnest wish,
we begin by slowing the speed of thought,
every imagined knowing relinquish,
that learning by touch, we become self-taught.
We renounce attachment, desire and fear,
looking in instead, for the source of life
and in timeless time sense God’s presence near,
felt as magnetism, making us bliss rife.
Complete surrender is the way to start, 
our shift involves melding head with the heart.

Our shift involves melding head with the heart,
rekindling innate innocence childlike
and upon choosing to add love to cart,
as blessings in-pour, we feel bliss beats spike.
Essentially, what’s happening is this:
one that became two, again becomes one,
we may take to be Divine Mother’s kiss,
igniting our core, like the central sun.
Holy Spirit, kundalini or chi,
as God’s breath is labelled across the world,
is the force that enables us to see,
glory of God, when flag of love’s unfurled.
He is both immanent and transcendent;
each breath is grace, on God’s will dependent.

Each breath is grace, on God’s will dependent
but we are one with Him, cleaved from His light
and as such we’re His direct descendant,
made as is He, known when we gain clear sight.
This truth has been affirmed from time to time,
by saints and sages, all across the globe,
counselling us to heed our inner chime
for which ego cravings, we must disrobe.
Once we are empty, we invoke God’s grace
and so become the vastness of the sky,
holding God’s hand, seeing Him face to face,
here, whilst we’re alive and not when we die.
Even though the light in our eyes grows dim,
if God’s omnipresent, we must see Him.

Immanent Yet Transcendent

Above the plodding, sightless mediocre
A latent embryo breathes,
Awakens the murmurs of the inbred orphic harbinger
Through tangled threads of colorless mesh
Serendipity stirs, sets in motion,
Spirals
Above the weary path of habitual self interest
Clogged with lumbering thistles of numb routine,
Where midnights wrestle with starving angels,
A deafening humdrum drumming cadence
Clumbers in oblivion with trudging boots
Over rusty cauldrons of mediocrity
And dreary depths of decomposed sludge
Fed with blind self-interest.

Yet, the dust of the mystical hovers - 
Intrinsic inbred breath of creation 
Drags dawdling ordinary
Into spirals of whirling inspiration,
Into sibylline sight beyond near-sightedness,
By the cryptic, subtle tickle of grace -
Into hovering empathetic realms -
Exploding heart driven revelation 
Unfurls into celestial magnificence -  
A spark glowing in the debris of impotent possibility
Impregnates the embryonic hero of every soul -
Rise up in quests to slay dull dragon’s lairs
Clothed in nurture with the flesh of miracles;
And congenital marvels released.

Premium Member Political Landslides of Love

If there were no infamous passion for Donald Trump,
then he would not be where he is right now.

So, what would it mean to bury the TrumPublican NonParty?
not with the condemning verdict of not worthy
but rather worthy of healthier democratic treatment
than to further empower partisan apartheid 
over bipartisan cooperative belonging

North with South
urban with rural
rich with poor creolizing 
bicamerally co-intelligent
mind-liberating/body-conserving cooperation?

Inter-religiously re-membering
outside-traditional-lines multicultural curiosity
has been more resiliently empowering
within Earth's polycultural history 
than jealous monotheistic aggressions 
against organic bilateral health care-giving 
and peacefully interdependent care-receiving.
 
Histories of ecosystemic resilience 
balance successful human nature
and resonantly holistic Earth nature
nurturing resilient economies
empowering both sacredly humane
and organically divine 
equivalent democratic emerging
from prehistoric SunFather enlightening
EarthMother empowering
monotheistically transcendent light
pantheistically immanent power
cobinary political consciousness

To free ourselves from TrumPublican systemic trauma 
with an ecotherapeutic landslide 
of healthy democratic love
for sacred SunGod/EarthGaia belonging together

Healthier and wealthier and wiser
than falling into further uncivil apartheid

Healthy EarthMother synergetic caregiving
replacing unforgiving AnthropoCentrism
so TrumPublican families
and good-faith communities
could enjoy more robust health
resilient wealth
polyamorous SunFather wisdom

Worshipping
with more reviving peace 
restoring ecojustice
within EarthClimate Rights 
of constitutionally protected
democratic coinvestment.

Conservatively continuing to polyculturally evolve,
better, healthier, more actively curious, ecological listeners,
bicameral cobinary cooperative discerners,
anticipating ecopolitical landslides 
of LeftMindLiberating/RightBodyConserving 
transcendently sacred light
and immanently organic power

Of bicameral co-intelligence
to belong democratically together
more than autocratically apart.
