Our true existence is in a subtle realm and as above, so below, we here in form, with the voice of conscience always at the helm, having chosen with laws of God to conform, do not let cravings of ego overwhelm, invoking in its place, a benign bliss storm.

From the unmanifest all worlds arose, with control delegated to a god, who whilst shape shifting, can strike any pose, to which heart feels drawn in mind-body pod, that pure wisdom and power in us grows, enabled upon giving love our nod.

Shining as Self and knowing who is God, laudable no doubt but not quite enough, unless wisdom dawns in mind-body pod and all cravings of ego we rebuff, giving love a nod in our heart now thawed, awareness self-aware, free of mind stuff, for unless we break free from every chain, we’ll be born on earth again and again....

God is the witness of every cognition, being prior to spontaneous intent, source of each and every life pulse transmission, magic that causes heart to grant love consent, potent breath sublime, a ceaseless emission, steadying life forms through descent and ascent.

Premium Member Paradox of awakening
Thought precedes action, intent comes yet before, arising from murmurs of a restless soul, feeling incomplete, though each pore is a door, to imbibe agape love, that heart may feel whole, yet foiled by ego that always keeps a score, so negating God’s light, we make do with dole. He who wishes to ascend does not exist; When the false falls, we...

Premium Member Sacrificial fire
In the sacred sacrificial fire we burn, first and foremost all the objects we desire, purifying thoughts flowing in body urn, consigning doership to the funeral pyre, that thus in silence watching nodes within churn, there are no earth bound goals for which we aspire, whereupon in this way we become the flame, fulfilling in staid mindfulness our life’s aim....
