“The Atom under the influence of Chit (universal knowledge) forms the Chitta or the calm state of mind, which when spiritualized is called Buddhi, Intelligence. Its opposite is Manas, Mind, in which lives the Jiva: the self with Ahamkara, Ego, the idea of separate existence.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
Mistaken that we are this body-mind,
we then seek to enhance its well-being,
caring not to become divine aligned,
delusion that prevents us from seeing.
Dwelling in darkness we remain as such,
accepting our assumed limitation
till ceasing thinking, we live life by touch,
rapturous in all time meditation.
Ego is but an earth life interface,
helping soul to navigate this terrain.
Believing we are it, is our disgrace,
yet with false sense of pride we wear this chain.
Shifting into silence, coming undone,
we then realise God and we are one.
listen dear!
We have a lot in common :
the same sky, the same sea,
the same way forward
and the same sad eyes...
We are similar, but not the same....
We have wishes and dreams,
you have desires and aspirations,
we are human, intelligent,
educated, sophisticated
spiritualized but selfish,
stoic but relaxed,
attractive, without complexes...
we have all that we need
for happiness...
Only one thing sets us apart:
I love you, but you don't love me....
We have everything you need
for a life together...
Minus love...!
This is uneven!
Assurance is compiled
Dancing question spiritualized
Truth is often forgotten
These are the answers to the wise

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr
The delirium of
reason,
invent atrocities.
The inertia of the virtuous
produces evil,
the laxity of the
righteous,
allows savagery;
The blindness of the
"spiritualized"
create all the demons ...!
The delirium of reason,
invent atrocities,
the noble men's nap,
produces evil,
the laxity of the righteous,
stimulates savagery;
The blindness of the "spiritualized"
create all the demons ...!
ECSTASY
Ecclesiastical euphoria
Cavorting openly - unadorned
Satisfactions saviored glee
Testifying, swaying in the dance of
Actualized beliefs
Spiritualized in
Yearning

What should I call myself?
A fugitive or a voyager
Driving in a car with a full speed ahead
Looking for accuracy from incompleteness
I'm a fugitive
Dying for inspiration
Escaping from this insecure life
And try to find what is right
From the crime of broken hope
I'm a voyager
Eager to believe in a dream
Gain guts and looking for a chance
Even it takes a wide ocean to dive
I’m on my on again, always go round in circles
Holding faith that can fade away sooner or later
I’m a loner in this lonely road, driving in loneliness
I wonder if I can survive
Mandala,
I hold you in my heart
Visualized you in my head
I won’t buy a lie or got strained
Accuracy is all I after
Even when the world decided to go slow
Allowing me to lift up the low
Letting me to collect the missing puzzles
Driving me to the right direction
Mandala,
You spiritualized me
You won’t leave me in vain
I won’t get trapped in a dream
And when I’m awake, I will feel complete
