“This Holy Sound (Aum) Pranava Sabda manifests spontaneously through culture of Sraddha, the energetic tendency of the heart's natural love; Virya, moral courage; Smriti, true conception; and Samadhi, true concentration.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
Love dissolve all opposites in its womb
and where true love is, there exists no thought,
so as maverick ego we deplume,
heart animated, we become self-taught.
Courage, conception and concentration,
arise on their own when heart lotus blooms,
that thus feeling one with God’s creation,
we see we are more than our mind assumes.
Embracing all souls and keeping no score,
shifting to feeling and ceasing thinking,
fragrance of love surges forth from our core,
whence we attain awareness unblinking.
Love is the path that is strewn with roses,
where breath by breath we strike blissful poses.

“the essence in us is the same
as the essence of the sun” - Unseeking Seeker
the essential elemental
that holy fire in everyone
sparks the imagination
that enlightenment can come
one day with a little intervention
not unlike solarizing flares, electrifying chairs
and the unlimited power of the Son
some day with a lot of aspiring inspiration
We’ll all spontaneously combust
it's all for one and one for all
seeking the Seeker
that’s in all of us

I like to listen to my head
What does this carousel say
Spontaneously
I like to pen the silence
If it had not been written
It would be lost forever.

The Christmas Armistice of 1914:
World War I on the Western Front had settled into stalemate. On Christmas Eve, soldiers from both sides spontaneously began singing carols - mainly "Silent Night" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful", in German, English, and Latin - which led to calls for a temporary truce. In many areas, the fighting stopped, and soldiers ventured out of their trenches.
This area between became a place of exchange of food, cigarettes, buttons, and even family photographs. Some accounts do mention soldiers kicking a ball around in "no man's land".
In the words of the 12th Doctor: "It never happened again, any war, anywhere. But for one day, one Christmas, a very long time ago, everyone just put down their weapons and started to sing".

she appears spontaneously
courtesy asunder
an uninvited visitor
behind her a seeping of rust at the gates
an artist with barren hands
splashing scarlet all over the hessian
a lurid migration, primordial as fossils,
sketched by Selene’s soft summoning
into the earth’s belly,
with feeble niggles,
surging to tremor crescendos
abrading,
grinding,
scraping
in the moulded wisdom of the womb
where a design is deferred
a cradle lies still….

I just must share, I do declare
What it means to be me.
Life’s too short to take too seriously.
So please, listen up, loosen up, party a little.
Do something spontaneously, daily, silly.
It keeps the soul refreshed.
Pinch the behind just to make sure, nope, not dreaming.
Stretch big stretches. Extending arms up high...
Reach up... touch the sky, spin and fly. Breathe in deeply.
Just enjoying the view of being alive while I inhale
The awe-inspiring newness of being
Born again with these childhood eyes.
Once, long ago I realized,
It’s just no fun being dead inside.

Lost
fumbling
past Eden’s
apple blossoms
winds swirl confetti
conjuring up blizzards
snow globes shake reality
awareness of a world in flux
supposition heaven may exist
built by a deity nothing like me
life’s edgy I trip spontaneously
vector on without destination
or memories how it began
anyway there is no end
just chaotic tangents
cosmic quasi-ness
and one perfect
innate flaw
that i’m
here

With gratitude zeal from the heart
Exuding worshipful bliss
My soul praises the Almighty
Revived by the Holy Ghost
While faith does gaze yon firmament
Vanquishing doubts that bombard hope…
Directed toward caring kindness-route
Thankful* spirit keeps on radiating exuberance
Moved by the Lord’s tender mercy
To overcome apathetic arrogance
Smiting cold dealings...
Reverberating heavenly triumph
While optimizing reaching-out fulfillment
Grateful life creates poems spontaneously with vibrant mirth
Exalting the Creator Who warms grace, joy, and peace for sharing glow.
*1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

a thousand lamps light up
all at once spontaneously
igniting the head ovoid
whilst the staff of power
enlivens the central axis
that as a seamless whole
all nodes in form tango dance
with carefree abandon
mood and mode celebratory
wherein we are as we are
the entire orchestra

Bound by constructs of the mind,
We use Time to define,
The current line, we're Riding.
Coinciding with Destiny.
A Journey, set by You and Me,
Before we could see,
To experience Reality,
Separately.
Spontaneously designed,
We are Unified.
We are all Tied,
By a Chord,
Heading toward Victory.
No more Trickery,
Let your Truth set you free.
Be who your creator,
Made you to be.
Perfectly planted seeds,
Bringing harmony,
Disarming hate.
It's never too late.
Embrace our fate,
Change your mental state,
Dictate your place,
As a Divine Being,
Using Time,
Traveling as Space,
Helping evolve our race.

A sea of flowers and candles grew outside the Cathedral
- in total 15 tons
Solidarity, an unbreakable bond of care, democracy
Terrorist attack, 77 people died
grotesque images on the retina
Sound of gunshots and desperate screams
The killers ideology
referred to himself as "A Templar knight"
Artists Tobbe Malm and Tone Karlsrud
invite blacksmiths from all over the world
to forge roses in iron as a memorial
People acted spontaneously
Grief was wrought in iron
"The iron roses" ... the abyss sea
will always remind us of all those we lost
"Hidden in heaven, but never forgotten"

we play a game
win or lose
either which ways
there is no reaction
victory and defeat
are as ordained
the skills possessed
relate to body-mind
which we are not
there is no one here
save pristine presence
free and unfettered
acting spontaneously
as of the the diktats
of vibrance of innocence

Whatever
Seems to happen
Happens emptily..
Empty expressions of
Starts and stops..
The starts and stops
Tell the stories
Of longing and
Discovery arising
Spontaneously...

the void of polarity interchange
touches the core of absolute silence
that pristine motionless singularity point
peaked potential present everywhere at once
reverberations of all vibrations before emanation
arise by force of will from this stillness fulcrum
being the seat of undivided consciousness
so nothing is separated from source
shifting gently into the heart of God
in that instant transcending space-time
soul presence may bilocate spontaneously
vibrationally in any realm or domain self-aware
as one becomes two and the two becomes many
as the breath of God we can too ensoul any
with the caveat that we be love and light
the throb of magnetism all pervading
