Obtaining Poems

Premium MemberClear sight

Depending upon words as symbols employed,
we may label the absolute Self as God,
the substratum of existence unalloyed,
recognised in staid silence when heart has thawed,
that pristine presence, no longer by thoughts toyed,
dissolves all opposites, giving love our nod.
Everything that exists, is but God’s heartbeat,
mirrored as bliss heat that makes us feel complete.

In meditation space and time disappear,
where all that exists is the Self as God’s flame,
renewing itself in itself without fear,
Absolute Self motionless, always the same,
highly dense bright darkness and as we draw near,
we see the ultimate truth in life’s end game.
Obtaining clear sight, the mind of our heart knows,
that we are all in the boat God Himself rows.

Premium MemberState of the all quiet

relinquishing feeling of thought ownership 
silence is our default orientation 
innate vibrance of consciousness our worship
the void of cessation our meditation 
bliss in permanence is then our heart’s flagship
obtaining the power of bilocation
doing nothing yet as all doings are done 
recognising clearly God and we are one

Premium MemberReflection

Reflection. What is it to you?
Reflection. What is it to me?

To me, it is a look back into yesterday
In search of ancestral wisdom.

To me, it is a beneath the surface consideration
Of my present situation in hope of obtaining
Gratification and a measure of growth herein.

To me, it is a hopeful and visual anticipation
Of a better tomorrow.

To me, it is like consuming a refreshing drink
Of cold water on a hot summer day.

To me, it is a look within in search of my What,
My when, my who, my where, my why, and my how.

To me, it is a careful and prayerful gaze within
That I may uncover the three dimensions of time
And catch the reality of God through Christ.

Premium MemberThe source

God, the Absolute is unknown to mind,
yet since He alone is, the all there is,
in staid silence, leaving concepts behind,
feel the joy in our heart, as His bliss fizz.

God is the all, so He must be within,
so with thoughts rested, let’s shift to the heart,
prayerfully merging, melding therein,
led by love, sensing bliss ignition start.

We see our true Self as a glowing light,
awareness self-aware, feeling no lack,
obtaining what is sought, as our birthright,
assured that God has always got our back.

Self dwells in the heart and God dwells in Self ~
Poised in the void, life flows on by itself

Premium MemberCaviar for a Czar

I’ve never dined on caviar,
The finest instead, a Mars bar.
No palace key for this housing Czar
Sip water alone, not at a gilded bar.

The challenge must be taken on the chin
And not merely with audacious spin
A moratorium won’t fix the cause
Of that usurious interest clause
And gestures from the righteous
To address this crisis
Have long past worn thin

Though life is well-equipped with knocks
Nonetheless, the misery clocks
And platitudes from a soapbox
Won’t outfox a notice
Sliding through the letterbox

There’s no bright light from the corporate sphere,
Shining down on hardship, here
Though those with good jobs try to spread cheer
Their lives are not as good as they appear
With some sleeping in a car
Obtaining meals from Spar, just near.

Energy Creates

As energy accumulates,

It also creates,

Operates,

In different states.

Obtaining traits,

Learning to propagate,

Designing a substrate,

Continuing to circulate.

It starts to vibrate,

Concentrate,

Learning to duplicate,

A code to translate.

A way to activate,

And begin to animate,

As the air mutates,

Into shapes that fascinate.

Molecules starts to migrate,

As they rotate and calibrate,

Delegate and designate,

Into something great.

One able to captivate,

Encapsulate,

A being to dictate,

How its energy will create.

Premium MemberDrop thought ego begot

Prone to weigh and size,
we stifle surprise,
of bliss magnetism,
in body-mind prism.

Thought opaques soul’s light,
a blockage, our blight,
which when we release,
life flows on with ease.

Watch how dreams unfold, 
as stories retold,
in which love’s bliss squall
melds us with the all.

If we be but still,
voids in heart will fill,
revealing God is
light and love’s bliss fizz.

Feeling not thinking,
focus unblinking,
obtaining clear sight,
we behold His light.

I'm Only A Pill

I'm only a pill, But in time, I can cause great ill.
 I may provide a temporary thrill,
But beware, for I can take away your will.
If you continue to take me, a habit will form.
 Soon enough, addiction will swarm.
Without me, you'll tremble and shake, 
Believing you need just one more to take.
I'll consume your thoughts when you awake, 
But remember, I'm just a drug, for Hells' sake. 
At first, you may be curious, intrigued,
But soon enough, I'll bring you to your knees.
Just when things seem unbearable, indeed,
I'll turn your life into a torturous creed.
 If you find that taking me is worth the risk, 
then may the morning find you sick.
Your chances of breaking free will be slim.
I’ll take everything that’s a part of you, 
your soul I will win.
Obtaining me may be all too easy to try, 
And in your pursuit of a high, you may comply.
I speak no lies. I'll observe, satisfied, as you slowly die.

Optimist

October takes us from autumn to winter
One should do offering observable oblation 
Obtaining kind treatment and hand to people
Obviating greed negative demeanor or offensive 
Obviously it is the right path and good ways
One-way time goes on no return to past
Often many people waste their time

Premium MemberJust be

To just be, as we are,
requires desires to rest,
which means thoughts too must cease,
obtaining in this way,
from dark fear forms release.

To just be, as we are,
we first befriend silence,
shifting from head to heart,
where all there is, is love,
all souls one, none apart.

To just be, as we are,
metaphorically
choosing to vaporise,
we witness play of life,
distanced from ego’s lies.

To just be, as we are,
awareness self-aware
transforms as living light,
touched by God, filled with bliss,
throbs thus by day and night.

Premium MemberKomorebi

Captivated by the throb of silence,
wherein presence dwells free from stress and strain,
free from clutches of thought borne violence,
we meld with melody of soul’s refrain
and thus rapture borne by bliss beats ingrain.
Glimpses of truth on us has been bestowed 
and we’ve repaid debts of love that were owed,
so living internally, we’re at peace,
with each life breath, paying to God an ode, 
obtaining thus from delusion release.

Premium MemberA Changing World

A Changing World
Miracle Man
October/31/2023

World order is changing as war fires are fanned,
many are slow to ask and too quick to demand.

Some use our differences as a wedge for obtaining,
content to subsist with hand out, complaining.

Not once can I recall, civility among the races,
Disunity comes by actions, and seen in our faces.

Many embark on a journey, finding it daunting,
arriving at a place and find they’re still wanting.

The musings of many, what’s not in my cup?
and during difficult times these have given up.

It’s in Jesus Christ that we should put our trust,
for He adds to our cup what He thinks is just.

Premium MemberHuman Limitation V Imagination

Sailboats horses and carts and canal transport
Whale oil lighting and candles, salt to preserve
Meat, limited sanitation and available running
Water, all are part of a formerly more static society '

Which kept people in their national boundries.'
The emphasis seems to be on returning the
World to a typology of the above.? This being
Part of ( green agendas ) wordwide.?

Why then? Facilitate mass movements of 
Humanity across borders.? If its more
Desirable for a worldwude static existence?
That will be inherent in any return to above
Practices.'

Is it just ideas.? That some people have cooked
Up after obtaining a doctorate, or other credentials
To get a million plus payment from a slush fund.?
With no real plan on how to live this out.?

I am myself quite prepared to live with limited
Technology..Yet it involves more effort, which
Would keep humans fitter.' A balance can be struck
But I dont see any cohesive drive.? I see ( a i ) and

A move to even more tech, and so called outsourcing
More desire for matterial things more waste much less
Recycling than from the 1920s to the 1980s am I
Alone in these observations? I welcome any comments.'
