which is the absence of discrimination--

This is the cause of the world”

His empty mind no longer projects 
delusion, dreaming, dullness
This state is indescribable”


Stagnation being death
What then is freedom from stagnation
No mind no desire no sorrow no stealth
The pulse of Divine Love blissful elation

Hence, I plunge into imagination to encumber suffering,
Athwart are the horizons wider than my pride,
I, one but three, such a symbolic trope, the Trinity,
A gorgeous exaltation gorged into voracity, itself.

The good is near me! The...

Death of a loved one

Fifty-five years! More or less! I did not know, then,
How, to your adieu, o mother, I said Amen;
Later, like the ache of an amputated limb,
Existence, like a gloom-glaring jail cell, grew...

“joy or pain, neither seek nor resist
vaporise to become, a bliss mist”

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

Turbid storms in realm of duality
Inevitably will bring to us pain
Fearful contractions mar serenity
Unless fickle ego, to rest is lain 

Pain bemuses whilst joy...

Salutations to The Divine Mother
Who envelopes us in a bliss shower
God’s divine essence aglow in our heart
Innate aliveness enabling each breath to start
Effulgence of a thousand suns dispelling darkness 
Entwining our mind-body to the That...

our consciousness 
what we call aliveness
be it for whatever reason
resident here in body prison
bubble of organic form material
senses five and mind, both spherical
with each function having two polarities
rotating automatically in continuity 
between manifestations external
and underlying...

we set the alarm to go off hourly
to take stock of emotions patiently
compelling us to make note of stupor
wherein instincts determine our stature
far cry from watching our thoughts mindfully

gently thus shifting consciousness fulcrum

The need to forgive is oft for self-healing,
that we may be at ease,
so we pretend to let go of hurtful feeling,
happy as heart contractions cease,
obtaining from pain release.

Yet, neither repression nor sublimation
is the answer dear...

Any consciousness contracting thought
Is ego begot
Having its roots in fear & desire
In the domain of transience being the ego’s lair

Our mind is in a fog
Because we allow the tail to wag the dog
Relegating the role...

Descent and ascent
Through vibration spectrum
May fan fires of feral sentiment 
Enmeshing our soul in ego residuum

To feel fully by touch we enter trance
Leading to dreamy state of stupor 
Indulgence in earthy dalliance
Makes endless our caper

Upon...

enabled now for co-creation
our free will chooses
either blissful joy or agitation

within vibrant void of stillness 
ego thoughts rested
that that is is bliss in fullness

clues abound we see them not
as each breath renews
fickle attention in fears...

This practice asks us to get to the root
Of everything ... forsooth!

We meditate 
Contemplate
Shifting from gross to subtle
Layer by layer cognition spherical 
Until we get to the subtlest
Rarified ... finest

For instance if we take matter

Supreme Energy, fluid nothing, effervescent  Om:
Structured universal life, matter’s unfolding cosmos;
Exhilarating evolution, expanding along the physicals.
Nirvana, fusion of the body, mind and soul in equipoise.  

The body stays not, creation  demolish not.

as we amble along
osmotically imbibing
intuitively assimilating
the divine love song 

the flowing continuum 
gently shapes our soul
making us pure & whole
cleansing ego residuum

vivified by bliss rapturous

“Is each breath devoid of ego residuum?
Does love colour our aliveness continuum?”

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

Each
moment
is poignant,
in pregnant pause,
seeking our embrace,
suffused in tenderness,
infused with childlike wonder,
to fill the void with love and light.
Oh hermit! Let our glance be gentle,

Ego hesitates, whilst heart flows
Where then, is consciousness fulcrum 
Love a burning yearning that grows
Devoid of fear residuum 

Free will shapes today and morrow 
Ego hesitates, whilst heart flows
What do we choose; pain or sorrow

Inner conflict ends, when head and heart meld, with love align
Erst fears and desires too, automatically fade away
No sooner we opt to make bliss divine our mainstay...

As we raise our vibration
From ego to bliss elation
Without cause
We may pause
Descending back into duality
Into memory drawn ferality
Then pause again
Tranquility regain
Nonchalantly looking
Without associating 
Awareness with attention shifting
Flowing feeling without resisting
And yet are unbound
As we go...

Agitation within stirring
Our consciousness contracting
Mindful presence clearly does feel
Spiralling thought forms lacking appeal

From the void of stillness we then look in
An aspect of us has body association
Constantly anticipating outcomes
Clingy glue of ego residuum

As we do...

“choosing here and now to exit stupor
in silence connecting to realms upper”

Ceasing striving, let us rest in silence
Bringing to a halt, effort of ego
Detached from outcomes, in playful parlance 

In tranquil stillness, we feel the...
