without our knowing it
as we’re taken on a bliss ride
in timeless time ego vaporises
whence in the void we wingless glide
“By my making pilgrimage to Thee Thy all-pervasiveness has been destroyed by me. With my meditation Thy transcendence of the mind has been destroyed by me. Thy transcendence of speech has been destroyed by me by my singing Thy praise. Ever forgive me these three sins.”
God-search is a paradox
In as a movement from here to there
So pause awhile in silence oh hermit and detox
That of the fact we are he who we seek become aware
We seek fullness in emptiness since heart feels incomplete
But on melding with the void wayward ego vaporises
When grazed by grace we become bliss replete
Beholding in wonder how magnetism rises
The seeker who seeks does not exist
Except for a while in form as but an interface
So simply relinquishing beliefs and ceasing to resist
Separation ends and then God holds us in close embrace
Before creative impulse arises,
poised in time stretched peace of stillness sedate,
tidings carried by God’s will apprises
our presence to embrace its destined fate.
Living in the now, we simply allow,
the rising and subsiding of life’s tides,
trusting divine magnetism to endow
our form with bliss as in the void it glides.
Knowing all is one vaporises will,
that flowing with ease like the wafting breeze,
sipping soma nectar to our heart’s fill,
no demons remain for us to appease.
Having left erst fears and desires behind,
with ego exhumed, no fetters now bind.
let thoughts slow down and ultimately cease
so that our inner light may be revealed
whence flowing through life like a gentle breeze,
ego vaporises and heart is healed
and holding focus thus, our resolve steeled
on becoming the flame that has no name
we are liberated in life’s end game
embrace and release whatever appears ~
ego vaporises; we have no fears
intermediate truths will do for now
involving dissolution of ego
staid stillness reveals what mind cannot know
by direct touch, God wisdom does endow
kundalini rises if we allow
whence sailing in the boat which God does row
spirit repays debts of love which we owe
clear sight’s bestowed when to His will we bow
ego vaporises yet we remain
we as living light dissolve in God’s heart
both immanent as also transcendent
we see soul’s journey has not been in vain
as pure awareness, we add love to cart
living light eternal, bliss resplendent
organic form a playground
for us as kundalini to express
desire as of choiceless choice
to feel bliss borne by the union
of in-form polarities orbiting heart
wherefrom surging forth as rapture
living light of Self prismatically displays
the full spectrum of the rainbow within
and as our body is transmuted thus
presence sees how ego vaporises
consumed slowly by the flame
wherein during the process
we are both this and that
bliss imbibed
assimilated
over time
vaporises
the seeker
who sought
who becomes
the flame itself
thus transmuting
organic body-mind
heated palms signal
overflow of magnetism
as also anointing the tool
to transmit a healing touch
to fellow souls we meet in life
in resonance with the will of God
but be this as it may we recognise
that decaying organic form is but dust
momentarily bestowed life by His breath
and so there remains within no desire
other than to dissolve all opposites
so all that remains is the flame
within which ego vaporises
so that here in this realm
the will of God is done
oozing compassion
and radiating light
our true Self speaks
in soft reverberations
of magnetised silence
bliss ripples cascade
as echoes received
transmitted by God
identity slowly vaporises
bubble of delusion bursts
noiselessly in the void
pristine presence
free from fetters
rises like the sun
sweet pain, cold heat
magnetic, compelling
sublime and blissful
our emptiness glistens
radiating glow beautiful
stay the flow of time
eternity frozen now
in a benign bliss burn
presence vaporises
here in mind-body urn
holding onto no memory imagery
except as common sense recalls
we’re present in the here and now
blown away by benign bliss squalls
we are that that makes us aware
light of Self that illumines our mind
we are the spirit that feels duality
bestowing sight to ego born blind
stark contrasts yearn to reconcile
for deep down they know all is one
choosing to meld head with heart
ego vaporises as we come undone
seeing our soul thus stripped bare
remaining motionless in vast space
all that remains is the light of Self
upon which we see God face to face
searing bliss heat
burns steadily
transmuting form
there is no one here
who may resist
and identity that was
delighting in the dance
vaporises in the flame
spirit asks
where’s the fun
if there’s no reaction
the audience now on stage
what more could God want
except to begin again
liquid light crystallises
vaporises when realises
it is in deep ambedo trance
so chooses to alter circumstance
by surfing the very edge of the void
without being by lower mind decoyed
thus both manifest and unmanifest
earth life jest love drenched fest
free from desire and aversion
renewing bliss immersion

refining soul sensibilities
whilst retaining spontaneity
gravity of wisdom carried lightly
holder of the flame vaporises
transformed as a bliss mist
