Dear Unseeking Seeker,

That's irrelevant to my inquiry.

The point is:
If you are to introduce philosophical concepts (such as 'noumenon') to poetry, please make sure that you're well-acquainted with its original meaning and usage. This, as to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, and as a common courtesy to its creator(s).

P.s. Please, try not to take my plea personally.

I know what nounmenon signifies although I’m not a Kantian scholar.

Language is as interpreted. Love is interpreted as a give & take trade at one end to compassion and purity at the other. I see that the word ‘ego’ is hotly debated on SF. Likewise for consciousness and awareness. Then of course the kundalini. This path vs that path … what is oneness, are we in a dream world, is there heaven & hell …

But where were we? Noumenon. A thing as it is. Which is?

Let’s not debate. If you like what you read, enjoy! Otherwise, smile indulgently and flip the page! That’s what I do all the time! Some time back, I asked in the Christianity forum ‘what is sin’ - seeing the violent reactions, I withdrew. :smile:

Screen of awareness
 

Disjointed thought and fickle attention
enables sensing the void of silence,
ever present during meditation,
yet known through phenomena dalliance,
recognising thereby luminescence,
wherein cogniser, as holder of flame,
employs stark contrast, reflecting the same,
albeit, prismatic hues of white light,
bedazzling perception in a mind game,
until the soul sees, with spherical sight.

Monk mode
 

How complete is our acceptance
Beginning of course, with ourself
Ego would have light pay penance
Which fears yet remain on our shelf

Life flows on, in as is ordained
How complete is our acceptance
Can we affirm, we are unstained
Breezing along in nonchalance

Head-heart melded in innocence
Requires our total surrender
How complete is our acceptance
In astonishment and wonder

Nestled in blissful contentment
Heart does dance in exuberance
Are we free from all attachment
How complete is our acceptance

Heart lotus
 

Within our heart, two pure lotuses shine
Love enabled, in an invisible void
Quietude of stillness, makes them both one
Moments sublime, when we feel overjoyed

One lotus looks to sky, other to earth
Rippleless void in between, the mirror
As veils thin, colour of love, empathy
Sensing each fellow beings hearts tremor

The false falls away, as desires recede
Meditation our orientation
Love our sturdy steed, lower cravings weeds
Infusing in our heart, pure compassion

Now a hollow shell, with love magnetised
Childlike innocence, draws in the current
Ignition renewal, within our heart
Suffused with bliss, our native element

Lotuses bloom, becoming a bliss mist
Spiritual light, soft white, radiant
Heightened is our delight, through day and night
Purity of soul, tranquil contentment

Shifting horizons
 

we set the alarm to go off hourly
to take stock of emotions patiently
compelling us to make note of stupor
wherein instincts determine our stature
far cry from watching our thoughts mindfully

gently thus shifting consciousness fulcrum
there remains no ego residuum
whereupon nestled in tranquil silence
slowly awakens inner sentience
each node of form a bliss sensorium

immersed thus in all time meditation
softened attention orientation
layer by layer desires vaporise
our childlike innocence welcomes surprise
equal in void and manifestation

boundaries blur horizons disappear
emptiness displaces our dormant fears
essence of our presence pure and unstained
assimilates blessings in time ingrained
magically drawing the love throb near

where did we begin and where are we now
we know not as we take a humble bow
in not within flow of life in motion
nonchalant to outer world commotion
flowing in rapture each life breath a wow

The rot has sunk in deep
 

Notice our subtle resistance
Manifest as hesitancy
Mitigating exuberance
Our lower mind delinquency

Myriad illusions confound
Notice our subtle resistance
We are yet to mind-body bound
Recognising not divine dance

We first look to our convenience
Subject-object relationship
Notice our subtle resistance
Foolish game of one-upmanship

Oh hermit, know God alone is
Rekindle innate innocence
Imbibe elixir of bliss fizz
Notice our subtle resistance

Genesis of prejudice
 

Birth
found us
in this world,
free and unbound,
embracing all souls
with carefree abandon,
in aspect of playfulness,
having no hidden agenda,
forgiving one and all easily,
epitomising blissful existence.

Growing up, ego became manifest,
silencing our hearts love pulsation,
thus shifting into narrowness,
becoming callous and crude
worldly wise at the cost
of stifling hearts love,
now ghostly form,
mere shadow
of our
soul.

Jaundiced eye
 

Deep rooted is our prejudice
Instinctively appraising all
What if God too did roll dice
Bestowed enablements recall

Jaundiced eye rapes and plunders
Deep rooted is our prejudice
Tarnishing Gods sublime wonders
Plunging soul into an abyss

Do pause awhile to reminisce
Why do we choose to judge and score
Deep rooted is our prejudice
Blocking divine bliss to in-pour

Drift aimless in stuporousness
Having forgotten our promise
Oblivious to That Oneness
Deep rooted is our prejudice
