Darkness falls as a blanket of shelter.
It negates the ever present, indifferent pain,
it grads you from danger,
and lets others feel your fear.
Darkness closes off the most
vulnerable parts,
the parts that hurt the most,
it gives you strength to dominate feelings,
for darkness is feared above all.
It is powerful beyond the thoughts of man, it’s more engulfing then you dear to believe
for darkness is not just a place for evil as light is for a place of good.
Good is found in he darkness
safety can be found within the consciousness and confines of darkness.
It demonstrates that though you may feel alone,
and though things make no sense,
you are still worthy,
worthy of the ones you love
and who love you
your inner self your reflection
your terrified self.
all of you are seen and loved.
Light is scary,
light is dangerous
it exposes the vulnerabilities and makes perception of weakness and conformity a target so big it gets harder and harder to miss with each passing day.
Light gives way to monsters,
No longer a need to hide
Rather suffocating the air
The once promised our freedom.
darkness my friend where have you been
Driving headlong into the morning sun
Wondering how lives become so undone
My eyes glisten with tears of wasted time
Knowing full well the answer to the crime
When we succumb to thinking we are boss
It negates the gift of death on a cross
For wide is the gate and broad is the road
Choose it and travel with a heavy load
I implore you friend, to listen to me
Choose the narrow gate, live life burden free
The path may be narrow and sometimes steep
But you can count it all joy when you weep
Jesus has a gentle and humble heart
Walk in his ways, from him never depart
His yoke is easy and his burden light
Know that we live by faith and not by sight
I would think? Its the stronger way to go..Buyers will always chase a good
Deal, and it negates more war damage
Just ' my feel ' thats what I would do, were
I Iran? $75 bucks a barrel, would be my plan ' Let market forces lead the way, a
Whole worlds economy.' Is whats at stake
I hear many pundits say.' Well let them
beat a path to Tehrans door' even if its overland as
Far as i last heard.? Basic sanity and maths ( have yet to be banned! )
“I ever perform the supreme action which is non-action. I am the supreme Joy, devoid of attachment and detachment. I am the everlasting Joy, devoid of body and absence of body. I am the nectar of Knowledge, homogeneous Existence, like the sky.”
Sense of separation from creation,
negates the innate vibrance of our heart,
mitigating sense of celebration,
which pulsates when bliss ignition does start.
Ever spontaneous is our action,
radiating divine bliss, love and light,
each hue new birthing deep satisfaction,
a beauteous, playful, dance of delight.
In singularity light is our form,
which in duality is sensed as bliss,
when head and heart meld and love conform,
surpassing rapture of a lovers kiss.
Whether in the void or on holy ground,
we as eternal Self are never bound.
Utters noumenal alone
Apophatic high source throne
Voice posits primal sole rite
Shadow negates all dim sight
Entering tathata zone
Haecceity beyond far throne
Pleroma seals all true dome
Silence enthrones cold vast home
Nothing
negates what
appears and
makes truthful
all that is said~~
Drifting into sleep, repressed desires stir,
shaped as living beings in dream’s domain,
where assuming a role, as we prefer,
we navigate this mystical terrain.
As subject and object, we are the all,
though we know this not, being hypnotised,
thus the actor on stage cannot recall,
that he himself is as all forms disguised.
The dreamer and dreamed, both being the same,
how may the object awake in the dream,
which at some stage in life becomes its aim,
unless it negates thought spirals that stream?
Love activation and thought cessation,
purifies our soul through meditation.
one part of us knows
the incident is trivial
and of no consequence
the other part however
being deluded ego
causes heart contractions
bliss energised emptiness
being our default orientation
negates feeling of angst
restoring our natural state
as we nestle into our heart
where all that is is peace
be this as it may we know
God alone holds the flame
thus it is He within feeble form
who syncs body consciousness
to the light of pristine singularity
holding steady our awareness
In learn and teach, practice free speech.! Effective in
Debate. Gaining critical appraisal? that's just fate! You
Will find trial, and lot's of error; yet honestley applied
It negates all of human, fear and terrors.!
Hope
Having not the chance to acknowledge faith
Heaven is the preset in time before material timed earth
Hell is present in all that negates negatives
Holy is the inner man whose heart beats breathe the life of God
Heart felt favor feeling of wholeness sown
Happen stands the realness of the beauty of His promises

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
When we’re lost in dreams,
desire therein streams;
we assume a role,
that heart may feel whole.
We wish to expand
to another land
but is not the cause,
yearning for applause?
Each trance negates light,
shining within bright,
yet clouded by thought,
that’s ego begot.
We’re soul, not this form.
With love let’s conform,
so that we may know,
inner light aglow.
Where love is, thoughts die,
whence we wingless fly,
thus straight to the source,
without use of force.
Breath by breath aware,
tend to soul with care,
that no thought may shake,
consciousness awake.
”Spontaneity chooses not to rehearse,
playful, joyful, embracing offered surprise,
vibrant in the void, one with the universe,
delighting beholding bliss beats within rise,
cajoling head-heart entwined, to pen a verse,
celebrating rebirth, when our ego dies.”
Wary ego, always tip toeing with care,
prone to weigh and size, negates offered surprise,
phlegmatic its stooped stance, mostly unaware,
trauma bonding with sorrow, with each breath dies,
head-heart in conflict, which never ever pair,
dwelling in the shadows, love and light decries.
Follow me, my dear, to mythical shores of hypnotic dream,
Sail on my fantasies, driving passions of your zealous theme,
Afloat on tides of longing, musing on love’s passionate seas,
Vying paradise of bliss, propelling desires love-notions seize,
Savoring you in embrace romantic, ecstatic till the end of time,
Extolling life’s moments euphoric, alluring our love in prime.
As gilded smile of rising sun, sparkles gleaming skyline blue,
And ruby rays of dawn twinkle from glinting morning dew,
And meadows of spring-blossoms enthrall your fervid view,
And songs of our doting hearts, strumming love-tunes woo;
Cherishing memories enamored, forever vows we renew,
In Elysium of happiness, fate designed just for me and you.
Follow me, out of bleakness that questions meaning of life,
Follow me to enlightenment that negates angst of strife,
Follow me afar from the void of materiality, ego, and pride,
Follow me to the realms, that wisdom and virtues abide,
Follow me to self-awareness, questing halo of inner light,
Follow me on path to eternity, within walls of this life finite.
began as a trickle
an occasional tingle
then became a torrent
fiery, potent and assertive
we speak of the bliss current
if descent be with awareness
we will be awake in duality
embodying light of God
without any dilution
in mind-body pod
our earth vessel
has a mind of its own
it subdues voice of soul
silence in turn negates ego
making us again blissful and whole
what is termed as enlightenment
is in truth merely waking up
who we are we recognise
life goes on as before
free from ego’s lies
back to magnetism
being pulse of Holy Spirit
bliss compels us to remain still
we transmute becoming the flame
living life in accordance with God’s will
if our affirmation negates
we are in denial
whilst if we seek
we are feeling incomplete
awareness fulcrum
if it truly be void centric
operates from our toroidal heart
where light of Self pulsates
the head is ever seeking
heart forever releasing
it then is quite easy
to see where we should be
