So spake simple Simon
Shaped from earth’s crust, we are but dust,
yet our pulse mirrors God’s heartbeat,
enlivened by magnetic heat,
borne by His breath, loving and just.
Why then succumb to thrust of lust,
fleeting cravings doomed to deplete,
leaving us feeling incomplete,
love of God unable to trust?
Know that we are spirit not form.
Thoughts orbit cravings of ego,
which ebbs off when desires recede.
Staid

So spake simple Simon
Truth is known when ego is shorn
but what’s imbibed, we can’t pass on,
for how may sunlight be revealed,
to the deluded who shun dawn?
Soul’s light within is not revealed,
unless our heart’s resolve is steeled,
discarding dark desires mundane,
to embrace power God does wield.
Pitter patter of falling rain,
moments when fears are to rest lain,
entwines soul with the universe,
freeing

So spake simple Simon
Love alone heals soul’s wounds which our heart feels,
dissolving all opposites in its womb,
sensing God in all forms, His light reveals,
as cravings of lower mind we exhume,
that throb of bliss magnetism may resume.
Recognising we are spirit, not form,
it is natural with love to conform,
breath by breath feeling the touch of God’s hand,
tranquil and at peace,

so spake an unknown sage
Innate urge to ink soul’s emote,
requires we agree to free float
in a void where thoughts don’t exist
and yet what truth is, we can quote.
Stillness a tale, with a strange twist,
speaking of how we’re by God kissed,
potent power of magnetism,
felt vividly as a bliss mist.
Beyond knowings of any ism,
graced by an unknown mechanism,
we are transformed as

minus thoughts, our ego recedes
we’re pure awareness, self-aware
in the void, we lay our soul bare
we shift to heart, where God’s love breeds
delight as pheromones mingle
making eye of our mind single
bliss magnetism, feeble form feeds
look at it as kundalini
or simply call it the genie
God is He, who does all the deeds
we are a humble receptor

So spake simple Simon
Between action and inaction,
lies the optimal middle way,
of soul’s vibrance gaining traction,
invoking in time, divine grace.
With silence as our default mode,
feeling how polarities merge,
ineffable bliss fills our form
and as we sing to God an ode,
bliss magnetism begins to surge,
sweeping us away in love’s storm.
The simple shift from head to heart
and thereafter melding with space,

So spake the Kybalion
As above, so below; this adage our clue,
that by accepting ourself just as we are,
simply witnessing how our breath does renew,
we shine once again in the void like a star,
so thus in each moment of time born anew,
we recognise God is within, not afar.
In form immanent and as Self transcendent,
aflame with bliss, we’re

what’s revealed remains concealed
for those who as yet dwell in the dark
but if they wish, they too can be healed
truth is simple, straightforward and stark

easy becomes soul’s ascent uphill

the world is vast and we are small

So spake simple Simon
To heighten awareness, begin and then pause,
choosing to loosen up and lighten the heart,
musing mindfully to determine the cause,
that in the first place led strange stirrings to start.
Poised in the void, no longer by thoughts decoyed,
we retrieve light of soul, pure and unalloyed,
recognising that this life is but a dream,
manifested by desires we chose to

So spake simple Simon
Imagine head capped with currents of bliss,
enabled by God’s magnetism at play,
ushering rapture where nothing’s amiss,
renewing itself thus, day after day.
In the vast, vibrant void, soul makes its stand,
discarding every conditioned belief,
free from fear fetters that we understand,
silence alone lets us turn a new leaf.
Soma nectar drips, our attention grips,
that the bubble of delusion may

So spake simple Simon
To which desire do we cling,
first a fancy, a mere fling,
which now we cannot release
and so becomes a disease?
Born complete, heart’s love replete,
bliss drenched in magnetic heat
but when ego takes over,
we live then not in clover.
Heart lotus blooms when we’re still
and then voids within us fill,
whereupon we then reclaim,
our soul’s light that has no

path any, what is pointed to is this
simply enter silence, stop flow of time
that God’s magnetism may fill us with bliss
and vibrant heart heeds the sublime love chime
relinquishing each conditioned belief
softening attention and gentling touch
on its own consciousness turns a new leaf
breath by breath thanking God ever so much
layer by layer, the false falls
