Premium Member The Bardo

flickering awareness
an in-between stage
with knowing imbibed
but not yet assimilated

we call it the bardo

skiing along the bardo that blurs boundaries
between spontaneity and free will
as choiceless choice dances
who remains the witness
save I Am presence
which I Am

Premium Member Zen mode

the light that enables
light of our senses 
and lower mind
throbs in stillness 

resting thought
animating attention 
we meld with the silence
in the vibrant bardo

Premium Member Zen Mode

healing proffered 
to unwilling receptors
pauses in the bardo

love employs no force
and so it waits
for eternity if needed

time yields to love

buildup of tension illusionary 
is but a wave in the ocean
surfing the bardo we see
there’s nothing to be done
save embracing and releasing 
each impulse play of life so offer


Premium Member The secret

Presence balanced, skiing the bardo, dissolves
flow of time, whence poised in peace, rapture rises,
brought forth by bliss magnetism’s soundless thunder …
   centred everywhere.

Premium Member Zen mode

surfing the bardo between mind and heart
former ego and the latter our soul
presence is suffused with a bliss upsurge
divine magnetism enlivening form
enabling us with the vast void to merge
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Zen mode

chin holds erect energies
in the head ovoid
with steadfast resolve
what would we do without it

heart, third eye and crown
waste no time to score 
as soul presence looks on
vibrant in the bardo

Premium Member Ambedo Trance

thought pendulum sways pulse of duality flows hypnotising us by its charm awareness now stuporous slumbers in the bardo celebrating its uniqueness 10-December-2022

Premium Member Turiya

dreamy are our eyes
and our heart is quiescent
before life beckons
so poised in the bardo thus
we dissolve the flow of time

formless awareness
stands erect without support ~
our heart lotus blooms
Form: Other

Premium Member Zen mode

the witness witnessing
is in truth interfering
with spontaneity 

what are we to do
save entering trance
melding with the bardo

in the void we transform
by becoming the flame
resplendent with light

Premium Member On Bardo Time

Buddha numerics
Time between death and rebirth
cosmic waiting room















(bardo- intermediate space of time between 
death and rebirth. Symbolically, 7 to
49 days in Buddhist time.)
Form: Haiku

Premium Member Thought of the day

trinity within is at play in endless renewal breath creation preservation annihilation void of cessation at polarity rotation bardo of emptiness balances all opposites in the enigmatic noumena

Premium Member Who Am I

Moments before lower mind drifts into sleep, 
awareness self-aware, in the vast bardo,
sans identity, as pristine soul presence,
woos the universe to infuse magnetism
within our childlike heart, yearning for God’s touch.

Premium Member Zen mode

heated palms, magnetised feet
a gentle breeze arises within
polarities meet and greet
causing bliss ignition to begin

vibrant presence centred in the void 
surfs the bardo of the manifest 
pristinity of luminous Self unalloyed
treads mindfully like a gracious guest
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Zen mode

deeming as intermediate
every offering imbibed
we remain a humble receptor 
to magnetism as it heightens
within this organic form 

humility makes us silent
yet the silence reverberates
with the cosmic hum sublime
so as we so surf the bardo
we willingly burn in body urn

Rebecca Schaeffer

She was very young when she was shot by Robert John Bardo.
She starred in 'One Life To Live' and 'My Sister Sam' over 30 years ago.
Bardo had stalked Rebecca for three years and tragically ended her life with a gun.
Fans were forced to say goodbye to this great actress who died at the age of 21.
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Scent of bliss

Slipping into the bardo whilst awake,
attention softened, simply looking on,
free from thought clutter, thus nothing at stake, 
fragrance of sandalwood, the mist we don,
soothing, humming magnetism ushers dawn.
As rainbow’s hues are refracted in form,
soul remains poised, centred in love’s bliss storm.

Old Man In a Bar, Me

sexy couple shooting pool
what was that covetousness rule?
when am i going to get over this?
in the back of my mind, memories of bliss
keep me looking, well attached
until this longing body is dispatched
to the dustheap, while this mind
propelled into bardo, still looking behind
at all the ties that bind...
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Zen mode

As the pulse of bliss,
enlivens feeble form,
accustomed to the caress,
do we not begin anticipating,
delight in offered surprise,
being a refrain that renews,
as the light of our true Self,
reverberating within the body,
wherein we as both this and that,
are poised in the bardo,
in a continuum of stillness?

Premium Member Try this

Begin but do not finish actions proposed,
that thus poised in timelessness, stillness stretches
meditation; invoking God’s grace that we …
   burn as love’s bliss flame.

To be and so noiselessly transform our soul,
it is in the bardo of animated
silence that our magnetised body-mind feels …
   divine light within.

Bardo

I take two long seconds
to watch my breath rattle
the snow

brittle and sweet. I don't want
to leave and I am so scared
of losing. the kettle sings

and we turn the pages.
even in despair, you burn
and I can't imagine you ever

dying. we laugh through the
cold, blood pounding steps.
god, please let me keep this.

Premium Member Zen mode

the puppet on a string began to think
assuming thus then a life of its own
illusions were dispelled when it did blink
emitting love and light, in heart home grown

dwelling in the bardo, betwixt bliss beats
God’s presence within in timeless time yawns
mirroring love the earth entity tweets
songs of love ushering beauteous dawns
Form: Quatrain

Premium Member Zen Mode

centred presence
dissolves identity 
that that remains
sans any residue
awareness pristine
celebrates aliveness 
renews bliss pulse
in joyous innocence 
moment to moment
by hold and release
just like the breath
rotating polarities 
without resistance 
flowing unfettered
divine entwined 
in the bardo of love

when the eye is single 
all there is, is light
then differentiated perception
manifests play of illusions

time and space make possible
surfing the bardo
where betwixt dance of polarities 
toroidal heart imbibes love

beyond duality and non-duality
everything everywhere all at once 
we descend and ascend 
as we choose with vibrance
