Residuum Poems

Premium Memberwe made a note of this

impacted by a verbal assault 
although we rebounded soon
the incident made us reflect 
on cause why we did so swoon 

stuporous is our awareness
driven mostly by instinct
we react as of our ego nature
our heart with God not linked

until our response is gentled
in an unbroken continuum 
we remain to our ego captive 
which contains feral residuum

Premium MemberZen mode

feeling soma nectar within dripping
fertilising, nurturing, tending to our soul
holding promise of freedom here and now
that pristine presence caged in form feels whole

we feel and so become one with the magnetism 
gripped in meditation in the now continuum 
rapture heightens and we willingly burn
vaporising remaining ego residuum

Premium MemberLet go off to get to

Eureka bliss continuum,
explodes concepts our mind clings to,
which sans ego residuum,
enables rapture to renew.

Yet to get to, we must let go,
to feel God’s light within us grow,
simply making our touch gentle,
invoking bliss transcendental.

Premium MemberPracticing the Presence

relaxing and being as we are
if mind wanders, we let it
aware of whatever appears
in mode embrace and release
God’s presence nears

practicing the presence 
as a flowing orientation 
heart cleansed of ego residuum
one with pulse of love magnetism 
we are vibrant in the continuum

Premium MemberSoftened Attention

Softened attention, our meditation,
in a space-time dissolved continuum,
wherein presence shows no hesitation,
to shed off ego spawned residuum.

Reworded, let’s say there’s nothing we do,
except to remain poised thus in silence,
mood and mode joyous as bliss beats renew,
in a realm free from thought borne violence.

There is no room here for desire or fear
and in fact ego having receded,
we see the world appear and disappear;
with our will to God fully conceded.

This, oh hermit, is the in-between zone ~
Pastures of bliss mists, where our soul has flown

Premium MemberBilocating Consciousness

From singularity, we descend, touch, immerse, create
To feel duality fully, we choose to enter trance
Attempting to cling to altered circumstance
Death alone makes sensations abate

Unless

Head and heart unite, taking a stand
Exhuming from lower mind, ego residuum 
Nonchalant silence animating the continuum 
Who in truth we were and are, we then understand 

Thus

As we bilocate gently between singularity and duality
Though heart may choicelessly seek an encore
Our vaporised presence keeps no score
And ego death is the only fatality

Premium MemberDeath of a Loved One

Death of a loved one

Fifty-five years! More or less! I did not know, then,
How, to your adieu, o mother, I said Amen;
Later, like the ache of an amputated limb,
Existence, like a gloom-glaring jail cell, grew grim...!

I know, from the frail earthen pitcher of physique,
Your soul, O my mother, that, for long, was homesick;
Had taken its flight far from this interim earth,
And amalgamated into the endless mirth...!

It's not due to doubts about your life eternal,
Nor the chance of being a creature infernal;
Your passing through the gateway of naked newness,
Is as clear as crystal to me, though seems clueless…!

Tingles of your touches tinged into tenderness,
Turned too into touch-me-not of tentativeness;
Your existence in me is a continuum,
It's not a cloudy chemical residuum...!

I know your death is not a dark dusk but a dawn,
Designs of resurrection are dazzlingly drawn;
Ignorance that ignites the minds with illusion,
Fails to form fundamentally free faith fusion...!!!

Premium MemberEffervescence

A surreal, blissful calm engulfs form
Of deep peace emanating from within
Magnetism sublime, neither cool nor warm
Benign burn playing gently on our skin

Bliss mists both transcendent and immanent
Enliven by transmutation heart’s core
Ignition renewal thus permanent
Celebrates is-ness like never before

No labels may assign how love does pine
Rapturous in the time continuum 
Throb of aliveness sublime and divine 
Now bereft of ego residuum 

This life is then a game, with one sole aim
Being all about becoming the flame

Premium MemberAshtavakra Gita Verse 20:8

20.8
“Where is the knower?
Where is knowing?
Where is the known, 
or knowledge itself? 
Where is anything?
Where is nothing?
I am pure Awareness”

Verse revisited on 27-November-2022

Standing in, within yet apart from the template of space-time
Beyond all phenomenal worlds, resides consciousness sublime
Positioned at a centreless fulcrum, devoid of any ego residuum
I Am presence cognises the all-ness of the manifest continuum
Holding at the Bindu point of singularity Sat-Chit-Ananda bliss
Upon which the mystic affirms all that is, is God, here now this

Premium MemberSay It Like It Is

Peeling off darkness, layer by layer
Softened attention, our meditation 
Soul presence becomes it’s own soothsayer
Bliss enlivening void of cessation

Awareness self-aware, sans lower mind
Still, in a thought rested continuum 
Vivifies space-time by pure intent kind
With no trace of ego residuum 

Simply thus being and so becoming
Our entire mind-body is magnetised
Soma flows, welcoming our home coming
By the Holy Spirit, we are baptised

Complex made simple by the bliss tingle
Soul awakes, as joy pheromones mingle

Premium MemberVoid Centric Silence

In continuum of stillness 
Void as object of awareness
There then thus being no fulcrum 
All that is, is vibrant oneness

Sways not attention pendulum
There’s no ego residuum 
Save the bliss mist, nothing intrudes
Enlivened is our body prism

Premium MemberPath To Freedom

Descent and ascent
Through vibration spectrum
May fan fires of feral sentiment 
Enmeshing our soul in ego residuum

To feel fully by touch we enter trance
Leading to dreamy state of stupor 
Indulgence in earthy dalliance
Makes endless our caper

Upon reaching exhaustion 
We exit the thought form stream
The void of silence, desire cessation
Offers a chance to wake up from the dream

The underlying truth is right before our eyes
Space between us and myriad objects
If restless heart ceases it’s sighs
We see dream life’s defects

Unfocused gaze held thus 
In boundless space all around
Resting desires that tend to nonplus
In but not of the world, we’re no longer bound

Mind-body and ego identity then an apparatus 
We employ it as of need to navigate life
Playfully going where God takes us
Awake, aware and with joy rife

Premium MemberSoul Transmutation

Our consciousness is resident in this here mind-body combine
Inner conflict ends, when head and heart meld, with love align
Erst fears and desires too, automatically fade away
No sooner we opt to make bliss divine our mainstay 
All that remains is a deep yearning, as love for love does pine

Poised in the vast, vibrant void, in a time stretched continuum 
Divine electricity benign, cleanses last traces of ego residuum 
Mindful eye distils subtle cravings of our lower mind
Playfully celebrating life, succumbing not to it’s bind
Each in-form node, then thus transmuted as a bliss sensorium
