How do I say
without eyerolls
that I enter into a place
where I turn into something
that touches the All?
There are no altars
no candles
no scepters
nor crucifixes
or ankhs
but a vibrant presence
that changes each time I go
the going is itself a deep surrender
and my vibratory rate changes
deepens
and peels away into bliss
like love distilled
and burned as light.
This being is there
intelligent and aware
it is watching everything
because it is IN everything.
It is here that I sense a love
that it feels for every single thing
that it is itself
through this marvelous creation
that seems to have emerged from it
in a time outside of time
with no real inception
but an expanding sense of the conception
born of all aspects of its own being
which we here see as yin and yang
Goddess and God
the current cycling that is expressed in electricty
solar rays
and our very consciousness.
It is energy turning itself into everything else
and is thus connected
continuguous
boundless
and bounded all at once.
This being
it pours over your life
but remains silent
because that is just how sacred freewill is
and freewill emerges from individuality
and so
monks and gurus and yogis and all the rest
who wish to say “Kill the ego!”
are to me entirely deluded in their task
for this is by definition a sacred cow that this being seems to always respect
and hold dear.
Our individuality is no less an illusion than this being’s individuality.
Killing it only reveals the folly in such things
for the cosmic mind touches our own mundane world and mind
and you just can’t escape it.
So why try?
Here, come this way….
It is here in letting go so deep
that you can feel this being
which is the All.
Comprehension expands each time it seems
and what I see one day changes the next because I change and it changes each time the embrace ensues….
It is like a vast switchboard where all channels are open from the smallest to the largest.
Here the words “split the stone and I am there” is understood.
It is in everything
but to see it
you must see yourself so clearly that all of this comes into view.
the good that you are is seeking you as much as you are seeking it….
like star-crossed lovers
this is
and this being
like it or not
wishes to seduce you in any way that you are willing
when you set aside your righteousness and sinful thoughts.
It is beyond sin
and thus is itself the sexiest lover of all
for it has no shame
when it gets so close that it can feel your breath
and caresses your soul
in that embrace that changes you forever.
II.
This is where it begins.
Looking inside, it is like I turn inside out
with bliss.
This is a lesson “seek the bliss and you find me”
It says.
But it is true that to find it
you must cast aside your shame
and be like a child
innocent
but sexy.
Our sex is one channel
one of many
all equivalent
and capable to bearing experience
of the divine here in us
the divine everywhere “out” of us.
We are all made one by this
because when we go to God and Goddess
we all go to the same place
like stones upon a great medicine wheel,
looking into the center
turning in the dim light of night
seeing the same brilliant star
all from different angles.
But when we reach it
it takes us completely.
It has been pulling at us for ages untold.
And here we are.
I have seen this great burst of Presence,yes,
but it contained no trappings of anything you might relate to.
Pure feeling
it felt purely
everything.
We say God is uncaring for it has remained outside our lives
and yet what I know is its is silent
only because it honors our individuality
our freewill
and that freewill has been in getting lost
from the very source
that is our lives
that is our redemption
and is the great wellspring of our love.
Why can’t we love like that?
“You soon will”
it says,
“….the closer you get to me”
it adds.
Like a blind woman reading braille,
this is how the God and Goddess read our lives….
it is not enough to see
it is everything to feel
as their invisible fingers trace every lost part of our days
the invisible core of our days
which we tread over the surface
never realizing that It resides within our self-made journey.
It loves us and wants us so much
that it just can’t stay out of our business.
It is there
like an egg waiting to hatch,
a world within our own.
A path lying within the core of all paths
a smile within our own
the love amidst the loneliness.
Quiet, yes, but yearning us
and when lit by its fire, we yearn right back.
We yearn perhaps imperfectly
but it still smiles
because any drop of our yearning it would take
because we then are on to a great mystery
which is its own to reveal in us.
It is the mystery within the mystery
the love within love
the soul of yearning within the body of yearning.
Its thoughts lie curled up in our own
just as we are curled up within its great mind
which goes on forever
in infinities enough to make you run red-cheeked from view.
“This is my love….
it has never been any other….
silent and unyielding as a great center point of everything….
waiting for you to come join in the feast.”
Here, you learn this God has been silent only in appearances
until its utter ubiquity has shown itself in everything that is.
It waits for you
and while it does,
its great love continues to unfold for you
as its great incomprehensibility
is its strong suit
so that every moment with it is like a sparkling gem with facets beyond count
the best of everything.
None of us are alone.
We might wax sad in those moments when our illusions grip us
but we know the truth
because we are more than the surface paths of our lives.
We make like stupid mongrels
when we are the royalty awaiting our kingdoms,
an inheritance
beyond all measure.
Here, within you is where you may find what you are looking for.
No cars or money or love of things will quite do it
for its simpler than that
but finer than All.
Its love is like that
and I could go on
like this
singing sacred mantras to the Light…
I LOVE this! I would comment more oten, but my usual connection wont let me.
Ah, thank-you for taking the time out of your precious time online to say that!
Beautifully true! 🙂
