Say it in verse

[unseekingseeker]

Rope is not the snake

“I Am here, within, as voice of conscience
Listen with pure intent, in innocence”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ego is the veil
Shrouding us in gloom
Why then trauma bond
Drop this bag of grief
Throb of bliss beckons

Prisoner who
Tormentor who
There’s no one here
Break the mirror

Maya web
Illusion
Delusion

The way
Become

Void

As we be gently breathed

Embracing this-ness, entwined with oneness,
heart’s vibrant in blissfulness!

Knowing we are but dust, forged from earth’s crust,
alive owing to God’s breath,
to what shall we then cling?

This world we’re in, a lucid dream,
with life play but our heart’s desire,
hypnotic trance where thought forms stream,
on and on, till the day we tire.

we as the object
God consciousness as subject ~
merge to so awake

Wafting fragrance

Wafting fragrance of love pollination
Grace in-pours by magnetic resonance
Heightened is rapture, without cessation
Rainbow within, our self-luminescence

Presence nestles into inner silence
Each node within, dancing with elation
Bliss burrowing deep, awakes innocence
Wafting fragrance of love pollination

Peacocks tail-spread, alluring seduction
Cobras too entwine, in hypnotic dance
Koel’s mate call, enthralling sensation
Grace in-pours by magnetic resonance

Part of delusion, form sheds appearance
Each manifestation, a vibration
When head-heart aligned, with love in parlance
Heightened is rapture, without cessation

Sound of one hand clapping, hearts gyration
Our vaporised self, in inner balance
Melds with universe and all creation
Rainbow within, our self-luminescence

Awaken hermit, subtle sentience
Vibrant cessation, our prayer station
Divine love the fulcrum, the quintessence
Bliss in permanence, Gods benediction
Wafting fragrance

Subtle layers of ego

Self-aware consciousness simply present
In the void of no-thingness
To impulse of desire and aversion sentient
Whilst breathing in blissfulness
Remains entwined with oneness

Our choice to be thus, in a witness stance
Awareness held flicker free
Signals preference to hold steady vibrance
By the flow of life buoyed
Negated, since by mind toyed

Thus cessation pointless if but a mind game
Fruitful if love our intent
Holding true by resonation our heart’s aim
Acceptant and content
In fullness, bliss luminescent

Memory borne thought forms do tend to intrude
Beliefs being delusion
Meditation then foiled by such patterns crude
As an ego suggestion
Dreamy imagination

Love’s the divine force, that propels us along
So let’s accept this-ness here now
Rekindling innocence, singing the love song
Resistanceless, each throb allow
Asking not, what, where, when, how

Oh weary lama, the layers of mind are subtle
Hold back not, divine embrace
Heart our temple, soul shaped on the mantle
Know life’s not a puzzle to lace
Make easy pace, for all is grace

V for Victory

The dust has settled,
for long we’ve battled,
bearing many scars
but victory is ours.

Our struggle with thought,
desires and fears fraught,
plunged soul in despair,
gasping for fresh air.

With ego driving,
futile was striving,
so we became still,
bowing to God’s will.

We’re not the doer;
God is the mover:
when this truth so dawned,
cloak of bliss was donned.

The problem is this,
nothing is amiss ~
we’re blissful and whole
playing earth life role.

We’re not body-mind,
thus nothing can bind,
unless we stoop low,
letting darkness grow.

Once the truth is known,
seeds of love are sown;
every seeking ends,
as will to God bends.

Stillness holds the key,
for us to be free,
here and now at once,
spurred by the bliss pulse.

So dear hearts, don’t grope,
prayers offer hope,
for by surrender,
we feel bliss thunder.

Please hush the blush dear,
seeing God appear,
as luminous light,
granting us clear sight.

Prayer

Close

our eyes,

retaining

soft attention,

poised agendaless

in dynamic stillness,

resting lower mind urges,

inviting the divine sublime 

to illumine all voids by loves light,

transfixing us now in blissful rapture.

Open eyes, beholding Gods radiance

in multitude of beauteous forms,

prismatic hues of a rainbow,

scented by currents of bliss 

suffusing form with love,

dispelling darkness

as an answer

to prayer,

uttered

thus.

true devotion
cannot fail but to illuminate

genuine insight
will drop you to your knees

sit, stand or kneel
in silence

and carry the stillness with you
as you move

Whatever works for you

Spirituality or religion?
Based on where born, most pray to a symbol;
reach for scriptures, like a homing pigeon,
laudable no doubt, resting thoughts nimble,
yet missing out on vibrant bliss tingle.
There’s a holy book, they need to follow,
yet cannot do so, in waters shallow,
for oh dear hearts, the word is not the thing,
when tested, faith crumples, being hollow,
having never felt, bliss throbs God does bring.

The agnostic choosing heart expansion,
negates all that, that is impermanent,
head-heart aligned with love in elation,
plunges headlong into the joy current,
nestled in bliss, our native element.
Religion valid, yet binds and confines,
following rules, ancient scripture assigns,
more oft than not, labelling their heaven,
whilst the nameless hermit, with love aligns,
igniting within form, chakras seven.

Instant Nirvana

he who seeks rapid ascension
what knows he of meditation
floundering hither and thither
dithers as dark desires slither
fears shrouding him in contraction

Bliss vivified stillness

The subterfuge game
does innocence maim,
trapping thus our soul,
in an egoic role.

Free flowing spirit,
views fault and merit,
making light each gaffe,
with a childlike laugh.

Soporific mind
caught in ego’s bind,
must obtain release,
from thinking disease.

Sans thought, who are we
save consciousness free,
revealing soul’s light,
shining within bright?

Silence shows the way,
how to cease to sway,
here and now complete,
bliss nectar replete.

When we do so tire
of fear and desire,
choosing to let go,
boat of love we row.

Cleansed is our soul’s stain;
no fetters remain,
as love sings it’s song,
taking us along.

Scent of love sublime
stops the flow of time
and as we be still,
voids within soon fill.

Pulse of life our home,
in love’s catacomb,
wherein all we do,
is bliss beats renew.

Soma nectar dripping

Drifting into a sea of calm
We’re poised in the void, thus
Inner sound current hums a psalm
Magnetism glistens on our palm
To shifts within, we make no fuss
For we ride, God’s bliss bus

We feel soma nectar dripping
Hark, the soundless thunder
Rapture heightens, oh so gripping
Sins of heart, before God stripping
Naked, we behold in wonder
Bliss rise, from down under

Dew drops dance to bliss beats divine
Marvel joy’s renewal
No sooner with love we align
Kundalini ignites our spine
We transcend earth life pulse dual
Reclaiming heart’s jewel

With each breath, awareness awake
Is how we do begin
Making mind tranquil like a lake
Sans love for God, all else forsake
Simply feel, going in, within
Bliss dew drops on our skin

Inviting grace

How still is our stillness, if thoughts present
shrouding thus the divine love vibration
within our radiant heart resident

Oh hermit, feel within, the bliss current
by entering the void of cessation
How still is our stillness, if thoughts present

Discarding feral ego sediment
we light the flame of loving elation
within our radiant heart resident

Recognising God as omnipresent
we feel His breath close, in each sensation
How still is our stillness, if thoughts present,

Boundless is presence, self-luminescent
love and light beyond imagination
within our radiant heart resident

Our spiritual ascent is instant
if the flow of life be celebration
How still is our stillness, if thoughts present,
within our radiant heart resident

An ode to love

When we so chose, to manifest on earth,
Stirrings of love divine, brought forth a pulse;
Our innate aliveness, bubbling with mirth,
Humming resonation with God’s impulse,
Feeling by touch, each offered sensation,
In playful, blissful, childlike innocence.
Heart outpoured joy in spontaneous verse,
Soul aligned as one with all creation,
Dwelt in glory of God’s magnificence ~
Exuberance had no need to rehearse.

Our body had it’s need, fuelled by greed;
Gripped by desire, our mind was in a fog.
Stirrings of ego, soon started to breed,
Boon now bane, tail began wagging the dog.
Baton of awareness shifted to mind.
Insentient to love, our heart grew cold,
Enslaved by lust, we had nowhere to hide,
Bound head to foot in ego’s ruthless bind.
Love became a trade, soul to devil sold,
Our heart contacted, though God dwelt inside.

Back to the start, the time our soul was free;
By God’s grace, we melded head with our heart,
Throb of love as conscience, our referee,
Soul’s radiance restored as work of art.
Love in love with love offers no excuse,
Beauteous, all embracing, lyrical.
Bubbling effervescence is it’s delight;
Presence then succumbs not to ego’s ruse,
An epitome of God’s miracle,
Love drenched soul again glows as living light.

Ode

[unseekingseeker]

The Practice

Hemmed in by space time,
freed by bliss beats chime,
we get to the source,
without use of force.

Void centric vision,
our soul’s decision,
choosing cessation
as heart’s play station.

No sooner we’re still,
surrendering will,
our fulcrum rotates,
opening floodgates.

Feel the void exhale,
as breath we inhale;
likewise our out-breath,
bliss mists healing meth.

Awareness love drenched,
sees our ego benched,
for there’s no one here,
save Cupid’s love spear.

Ripples in space

Tell tale signs linger in the void,
of unvoiced emotions destroyed,
yet embraced by the universe,
thereby shaping destiny’s verse,
replaying as our life’s refrain,
until mindful eye does ingrain
each flicker and nuance within
bleeding hearts, thus exhuming sin
from the very core of our soul,
that womb of existence feels whole.
