“Oh hermit! Know that there is no one here
What is, is God, as bliss throbs within spear”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In sync with the divine dance underway
Vaporised self follows the pied piper
Mind recognising life, as but a play
Relying upon love, as its saviour
Flowing thus gently, in the stream divine
Essence of presence becomes a bliss mist
Head melds with heart in fusion to align
Joy unabating through both trough and crest
Delighting in journey without movement
As magnetic currents within do rise
Inner eye beholds self luminescent
Each bliss nuance felt, rapturous surprise
Love unifies thought of separateness
All then being, singular consciousness

out of the frying pan, we plunge into the fire
succumbing thus to ego spawned desire
ephemeral objects, our ego aspires
where are we headed, oh hermit
our deluded cravings have no merit
fallen from grace, head and heart split
bewildered we are, amidst myriad external illusions
blown away like a leaf, is our fickle attention
clear light dawning in void of cessation
that that comes and goes unreal
save throb of bliss nothing has appeal
fire of bliss in our heart, purges and heals
nonchalant soul presence, pure and unstained
vaporising lower mind, divine joy ingrains
unaffected by worldly loss or gain
deluded ego in separateness
slowly cognises interconnectedness
transcending finally to absolute oneness
earth life then thus a journey without movement
discontentment transmuting to contentment
culminating in blissful love enablement

Life's greatest heated human tragedy
the one we are likely taught not to see.
Our wide-ranging worlds are well connected,
as atoms wiggle we're all effected.
Separation is optic illusion
a fitting end to one's soul seclusion.
Gurus say I am you and you are me,
that's the way it's supposed to be.
If I am Abe, Alice, Aron, Abu;
are they really me, how can that be true?
One respects collective society,
pledges to individuality.
It's in us to foster global good will
hold high hopes for oneness not to stand still.
Compassion is the real eternal key,
the single most important reality.
In the rays of moonlight truth shines so clear
allays all our unstated oneness fear.
When face to face, touch hands to then embrace;
stand up, stand in, alone and take your place.
So don't be offput by any confusion;
you're not separate, it's an illusion.
Lots of wisdoms will surely come to pass
while we lay lulling the scent of sweetgrass.

Line of inquiry:
“a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation”
Before the first discrimination sundered dark
from radiance, I was the fathomless antecedent
within which difference germinated—wherein
unbegotten Being first suffered form, and form
awoke, astonished, to its own transience.
I was anterior to utterance, yet not silence—
for silence is already the vestige of a voice;
anterior to pulse, yet not stillness, for stillness
presupposes motion—and time itself, that great
hallucination of succession, unfurls beneath
my indivisible infinitude.
No star contains me; each is a hieroglyph
of Being momentarily incandescent; no sea
encompasses me; its abyssal blue is merely
the mnemonic shadow of an unplumbed profundity
through which manifestation issues, as though
the visible were Being's self-disclosure.
Creation stands not exterior to me—
it is the eidolon of my withdrawal, the luminous
residue of an effacement through which the nameless
becomes innumerable. Then comes the sovereign fiction
called myself, armoured in memory, and says: I am.
But who has spoken?
When the asker itself is annulled within the question,
and question, answer, speaker relinquish separateness,
nothing remains for consciousness to apprehend—
only that primordial knowing before knowing, too,
acquired a name, and called itself I.
“better a rebel, a nerd, than a blind follower of the herd”

Buddha urged to illuminate darkness
Set forth towards the closest habitation
His countenance aglow with luminescence
Was asked by a passerby cause of his elation
Buddha replied that he was the one, the Arahant
Light that lights all lights, eternal God essence
Master of elements, glory of enlightenment
His aura bestowing soul transcendence
Buddha’s affirmation fell on deaf ears
No one grasped his words seemingly vain
Earth bound weary souls caged in myriad fears
Try as they might, exalted wisdom could not ingrain
Thus came about the need for wisdom intermediate
The four noble truths in easy symbolic language
Eight fold path being way to heavens gate
Simplified teaching became a rage
Narrow mind oriented to resist
Accepts not authenticity of oneness
Unaccustomed to light, our delusion persists
Feeding ego cravings in delusion of separateness
Most religions therefore opt to contour the ultimate truth
Subtly hinting towards the single underlying reality
Knowing we may not embrace God forsooth
Urging practices to infuse in heart purity
Spirituality on the other hand is direct
Unfettered by ritual, custom or blind belief
Head and heart with love aligned, stance erect
Directly imbibed wisdom gives soul permanent relief

Recognition key to liberation
When knowing is in definitiveness
The truth’s discerned in deep meditation
All that’s manifest, is God-consciousness
Notwithstanding this, there’s oscillation
That sinking feeling of separateness
The trick lies in exiting stagnation
In blissfulness melding with That oneness
Accepting our earth life limitation
Soul impulse prompts interconnectedness
Shift into tranquil void of cessation
Positions our heart in vibrant stillness
As bliss renews in continuation
Earth life sojourn, joyous celebration

Who do we search for, in this wilderness
Oh weary lama, there is no one here
That that is, is just ourself as oneness
Known when we choose to hear by inner ear
As magnetism each pore of form does sear
Enabled, when with love pulse we align
Vibrant bliss in form, that our heart holds dear
As we be now breathed by God’s breath divine
In this dream, feeling of separateness
Delusion, as we pursue earth career
Man against man in strife and ruthlessness
At all costs securing, what heart holds dear
Ego from shadows, does tauntingly leer
For myriad desire objects we pine
Fleeting is pleasure, short lived is our cheer
As we be now breathed by God’s breath divine
In time we hark conscience, as consciousness
Voice soft and subtle, allays our deep fear
We shift then to interconnectedness
Empathy love hue deems each soul our peer
Lower mind fades, as we become a seer
Head, heart and love, stand erect in a line
God’s our flagship, our life course He does steer
As we be now breathed by God’s breath divine
When ordained by grace we see God appear
Our soul stands still under the oneness sign
We vaporise as bliss each node does spear
As we be now breathed by God’s breath divine

JUDGE US NOT
Judge us not for our sin
Look at the people we've been
Don't hold it against us that we were weak
We found a love that every human would seek
Don't look down because we both gave in
She was the most beautiful place I've ever been
We fought the feeling for a very long time
But we both knew I was hers and she was mine
You may look at us with a haughty grin
But if you've never felt true love, to know how we feel....you can't begin
You may condemn when you look at our life
She had a husband and I had a wife
Don't judge us for the secrets we hide
We shield others from pain but each day we die inside
Have you ever felt a love that brings you to your knees
But had to hide what everyone else sees
To know the agony of the silent scream that bursts from your heart
Have you been taken, but met the person you should've been with from the start
We did not ask for this feeling we fought
Neither of us was looking for this, but our souls found what they sought
If you've never had to each day put on a happy face
And just wish somebody else was in your place
Have you had to weigh the option of death or life
The bliss of together or separateness which brings so much pain and strife
So please don't judge us until you've looked at the pain in our eyes
Or seen how each of us when alone silently cries
If you could feel but a fraction of the pain we knew
Maybe then you'd not judge us but would take pity on us two
Pure awareness
Unattached to form
Just IS
As it IS
Complete
But since the awareness wishes
Choicelessly wishes
To engage in movement
It does
Creating matter
And energising it
With a part of itself
Without reducing itself
Or being affected by matter
Though in it, with it
And so
Matter ...
Or consciousness
Thus energised
By awareness
Yawns
Stirs
Stretches
Awakens
And becomes itself ...
Awareness
There then being no difference
No separateness
Between the awareness
That brought this awareness
Into being
And ITSELF
The human form
Of consciousness
Is the latent awareness
Having already yawned
Already stirred
And now awakening
Within form
To become awareness
Pure awareness
Without form
The body
An instrument magnificent
Enigmatically magnificent
Within which
Consciousness detects
Grid lines that connect ...
The entire body itself ...
Completely
Each grid line
Having nodes
These nodes are then occupied
Energised
By awareness
Making them conscious
Just as awareness
Once made consciousness awareness
And so
Each node is now consciousness
Enabling awareness
To be joyous in movement
Of the node consciousness
Born
Energised
And awakening
Within it
Later to be distinct though unified
To itself become awareness
As is ALL
These grid lines
All interconnected
Across the body
Of which the spine to head chakras ...
Are but one
A prominent one but nevertheless ...
One of several grids
Each continuum of the grid
Whether at the node or without
Being alive & aware
So as such
Everything being awareness
In entirety
Yet ...
The magnification of awareness
At the nodes
Which are consciousnesses
Dormant and now created, born
Or say energised
Awaken
And thereby enable
The totality of consciousness
Within form awakening
And experiencing awakening
In conjunction within
Nodes awakening
In unison
As a symphony
Of the formless movement
Of awareness itself
Are connected at all continuums
Of the entirety of awareness
Boundlessly
Within form
Without form
As the one awareness
That IS
Disclaimer:
No elaboration offered
For the revelation in stillness
Which each consciousness
Awakening
To & as awareness
In timeless time
Receives and becomes
As One in Oneness
Pure Awareness

The sea of boundless Oneness
Cognised by ascending consciousness
Transitioning to pure awareness
We are as such in stark aloneness
Within deep meditational stillness
Our form blending with our formlessness
The beginning is non thought presence
In humble innocence
With no memory linked remembrance
Our innate magnetisation
Divine harmonious vibration
Is our intuitive orientation
The third eye active
Funnels energy to the crown receptive
Dispersing the flow into space enigmatic
Our consciousness pauses momentarily
Has to choicelessly choose here voluntarily
To dissolve in the stream unhesitatingly
A soft pinkish white light does shine
From a multi-petaled lotus divine
Partly shielded by violet clouds as a sign
We are then in the sea of formless oneness
Vibrant, aglow, complete be-ness
Consciousness is now pure indivisible awareness
We are absolute awareness all encompassing
Within & without form, linear time vanishing
Separateness dissolved, singularity resonating
We are here in the ocean of bliss
Where nothing is amiss
We know that WE ARE IT & IT IS THIS
By choiceless choice we descend into matter gross
All nodes, chakras within in a dance synchronous
With pure awareness replacing delusion anomalous
