Long Thingness Poems

SOJOURN THROUGH TAROTSPACE

Let me tell you a story,
Of a deck of cards, in all its glory.
Well, some will say, what’s the big deal?
To them my humble reply, come, conquer, and heal.

The story is my take,
On...

recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which...

“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...

we are lost, as long as ...
we wish to keep the cake
and eat it too
left foot in one boat
right in the other
sitting on the fence ...

we are lost, as long as...

be we in duality
or in singularity 
essence of aliveness
requires a vibration
renewing itself within itself
or what we call consciousness 

the screen of space-time 
is the stage set for duality 
of what is all that is manifest
as...

When The Wolf Cries 
The wolf cries out to the great chief in loneliness, pain and sorrow/ Not because his pack is hungry but because his people are hungry/ He cries because he smells defeat...

in the dead of night
for no reason at all
we awake refreshed
tranquil and still
thoughts rested
our heart at peace
with the bliss current
humming in the background
animating the continuum
with the breath of God
whereupon we are immersed
in the great vacuum
of...

in the inky black void
we are as we are therein
bereft of senses we see nothing
and yet know we are herein not alone
our awareness thus in formlessness 
communicates with the absolute
as a child speaks to his...

The debt collector
Knocks on our door 
When we hide
He still enters
From the window

He claims his due
A debt of love
Hidden deep within
Recesses of our heart
Veiled by desires
Mirrored by fears
Rooted in attachment 
To images on a screen

He...

Self-aware consciousness simply present
In the void of no-thingness
To impulse of desire and aversion sentient
Whilst breathing in blissfulness 
Remains entwined with oneness

Our choice to be thus, in a witness stance
Awareness held flicker free
Signals preference to hold...

It rages still, that great dichotomy
among the puzzled ones
in search of one clear archetype
that marks reality; what is it...
every thing at all,
or nothingness?

Each opposite, a fodder 
rich indeed to test for truth.
Each has its champions,
and...

we do admit
we anticipated
a loving embrace
from an unseen soul
we’d chosen to befriend
under the cloak of anonymity 
having thus nurtured in our heart
an outpouring of joyful endearment
our impulse although self existent
would yet burst forth into dance
on...

recognising whatever is manifest
is finite, perishable and doomed to die
including the life giving luminous sun
we shift our focus to vast, enigmatic space
invisible, unchanging, holding all in its womb 
in everything yet affected by nothing
is this...

In a time dissolved stillness continuum, awareness self-aware, floating agendalessly in the void of no-thingness, vibrationally beheld the boundaryless, soft white, self-existent living light of God, pervading all space, as soul presence looked on, awestruck...

Thought polarities as doer and resonator 
Pulsate within our mind-body combine
In truth, free will enables us as co-creator

Blessed with this recognition, with truth align
Our innermost thought patterns cognised 
Our witness stance, chooses vibrations divine

In the...

deepening stillness quietly
by accentuating presence
and softening attention
in receptive silence
enriched by trust and love
melding with the flow
of the one consciousness 
manifest as individuated form ...

deepening stillness thus
devoid of lower mind
memory imagery rested
as also expectation
or anticipation
cognisant of...

who pulls our breath
and then exhales 
rhythmically
by day and night

to find out
we follow the breath
becoming one with the flow
without interfering

silence
makes breath shallow
akin to sleep mode
in the waking state

if breath is erratic 
it signals thoughts are...

What is the void as in no-thingness
Wherein Shiva resides
As the pulse within in our emptiness 
In resonance we abide

Awareness & sentience of no-mind
Limited self vaporises
What upon empty space has a bind
As we behold surprises

It is...

Time stretched stillness
And vibrant emptiness
Enables clear cognition
Of the in between state
Just before deep sleep
Wherein dreams cease
Since thought flow ends
Yet awareness is poised
As witness consciousness 
In the void of no-thingness
When formless presence
Choicelessly then chooses
To meld with...

we know not
although we should
so pause in wonderment 
astonished as to the cause
of our limitation in feeble form
offered to us as duality experience 
we have no doubt that if we so choose
we can exit the...

During sleep, we dream. Sometimes, we day dream too! The dream is not possible, unless we are present as a dreamed object or witness therein, amidst myriad illusions, over which we have no control. What...

Emptying heart of seeking and desire,
no thoughts arise and therefore ego dies,
whence presence, now an ethereal fire,
in the void of no-thingness, wingless flies.

The primal celestial music within,
reverberates with omnipotent force
deep in cave of heart, so...

This
here now,
aliveness
of mind-body
animated thus
within the flow of life,
embracing and releasing,
vibrations that touch our presence,
which we imbibe, colour and set free,
into the vibrant void of no-thingness.

No doer here,...

“Reflect oh hermit, in our each entrée
In the flow of Gunas three, where are we”

An agendaless exuberance
Centred in spacial tranquil calm
Persona bubbling joyful innocence 
Emoting hues of loves healing balm

Playing out the earth role as...

Take us with you, in calm of blissfulness 
Rapture unending, entwined with oneness
Imbibing the elixir, pristine dew 
Wherein each moment, ecstasy renews
Nirvana here and now, our being-ness

Oh hermit! Each walks in his aloneness
Yearning for divine...
