Spiritual pitfalls
The urge to serve For a feel good factor Though with gusto and verve Act of doership, ego the detractor Hermit resolute Knows his life's mission Recognising ego’s in pursuit For each act, seeks God's permission |
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
primal feral instincts
involuntarily stir catching us off guard yet here they are vibrations unwelcome which so appear where grow their roots which we nurture |
Unfeeling hearts
sometimes it so happens
love knocks on icy hearts and is cold shouldered in timeless time jagged rocks are smoothened by the river’s flow love employs no force unconscious souls yet rooted in animal nature appear cloaked in human form the indwelling spirit is the same within all only coordinates differ there’s neither judgment nor shame the sunlight continues to stream on all life without prejudice |
Stoop to conquer
Spiritual practice is doomed from the start,
since any ritual involves our doership and therefore unless ego’s made to depart, futile is our meditation or worship, unless ofcourse we choose to add love to cart, exiting shallow game of one-upmanship, whereupon once no agenda is tabled, by God's grace, soul's ascension is enabled. Ottava Rima |
Watch that thought
behold heart contractions
appear in consciousness it shouldn’t be so but is leaving us astonished so we witness tremors just looking nonchalantly the thought’s self-conscious feels lonesome since it is unfed it is a standoff in time stretched silence the imaginary bubble of delusion bursts noiselessly in the void for it’s existence depends upon our attention betwixt the ebb and flow waves of bliss cascade within dynamic stillness envelopes being ever tranquil |
Is-ness of being-ness
lament not
what’s downstream be here now desire not mere objects bliss beats beep God’s life pulse resounding throbs within Tricube |
In awe of God
In awe of God, with love not fear,
soul’s innocence rests lower mind, tuning in to divine rhythm kind, letting not lower thoughts appear, deeming all as one and thus dear, playing our life role as assigned, in awe of God. When bliss beats rise, we sense He’s near and follow love’s scent in trust blind, that we be by its hues defined, shaped by spirit, we choose to steer, in awe of God. Rondine |
Benign bliss burn
Bliss magnetism transforms our form
Our heart’s gripped in childlike delight Nodes tingling within, the new norm As rapture peaks by day and night Our central vein is ignited Bliss magnetism transforms our form Head and heart, with love united Willingly to God’s laws conform Caress divine, tender and warm Radiant energy torus Bliss magnetism transforms our form Mindful eye gentle, heart porous There’s no doing that need be done Standing still in this benign storm With God one, we shine like the sun Bliss magnetism transforms our form Quatern |
Who am I
See ye not yet, we're hypnotised
by desires, so our soul's capsized. Stillness side-steps illusion net. We're hypnotised. See ye not yet? We’re not the mind, we're not this form. We're not the currents, cool or warm. We’re living light, blissful and kind. We're not this form, we're not the mind. Swap Quatrain |
Stoic surrender
knowing is not the becoming
until we assimilate wisdom recognising within heart lies God’s kingdom yet having been and so seen truth of underlying reality in the midst of storms we retain clarity within the womb of existence there’s no haste to ascend standing still all we do our will to God bend |
Sin and redemption
Branding the wayward
as a perpetrator of evil let us pause a moment to examine origin of sin knowing not love and light is the cause not ignorance resulting in fall from grace all that then is required is to show the roadmap that such souls may awake |
Inner light
vibrant emptiness
no urge to react or to respond magnetism hums soma nectar drips what else then is there that needs to be felt as we so radiate our inner light |
Hall of mirrors
Replacing one illusion for another
is merely shifting coordinates in space, for our indulgence therein will yet smother freedom of soul, with new horizons to chase, thus but a mind game conjured, so why bother if the outcome at end of days is disgrace, having succumbed to cravings of our ego, in the world of transience, we’re loathe to forgo. Ottava Rima |
Flickering awareness
Having been shown that we are living light,
how may we assimilate this knowing in our mind-body with spherical sight, that in time stretched silence, we keep flowing, seeing clearly our inner light glowing? Encased in form, attention oscillates and so we languish outside heaven's gates. Flickering awareness is of no use, for the peace we felt, on earth plane abates, so we are still and let bliss beats seduce. Dizain |
Descent and ascent
Poised at a point, that stands apart from space-time,
all that is, is energy before release, when awareness self-aware then heeds love's chime, opting to bilocate with nonchalant ease, that its diminished self may heavenward climb, after exiting trance; ego spawned disease. Thus, first one becomes two, then two becomes one, reuniting with source, when we come undone. Ottava Rima |
The simple truth
the character in the dream wishes to awake
imagining that its soul growth is at stake whilst the dreamer in trance is deluded how then may truth be concluded unless the object ceases to respond thereby breaking off fear and desire bond this is the way oh hermit, just stop thinking the truth of existence hides between eyes blinking |
Who am I
”The truth is in here, not out there ~
We’re luminous soul, self-aware” Our heart recalls, we’re living light but lower mind leads us astray. God’s grace alone, bestows clear sight. Blue skies turn grey and so we pray, hoping against hope to be blessed but lower mind leads us astray. It’s time oh hermit, we undressed, resting cravings of our ego, hoping against hope to be blessed. Choosing then, to make thought flow slow, we plunge into the vibrant void, resting cravings of our ego. No longer by erst fears decoyed, as truth of soul we realise, we plunge into the vibrant void. Ceasing to weigh, measure or size, our heart recalls, we’re living light. As truth of soul we realise, God’s grace alone, bestows clear sight. Terzanelle |
Have the cake and eat it too
The flame of awareness is held by God,
which flickers in mind-body that we learn that we should not be by illusions awed, in staid silence, imbibing love’s bliss burn. The question is, how may we bilocate, to be present both in heaven and earth, which requires that our heart carries no weight, through highs and lows of life, bubbling with mirth? Transmutation of form as living light would let us have the cake and eat it too, wherein having garnered spherical sight, breath by breath we feel pulse of bliss renew. To become as such, ego must recede ~ In childlike trust, allowing love to lead Sonnet |
A revelation
the fabric of space yields
shimmering, lifting the veil that what stands behind it is perceived as living light being the light of our Self |
Commiserations
we’re called upon to console a friend whose spouse has passed and so we faithfully play out our life role as we have been by the universe so tasked the stark truth is that we have all been lied to for all that here appears and disappears is but a mist like the morning dew needless are tears and fears |
Walk the talk
The path is simple, walk on it
Erasing desires, bit by bit Embrace and release, flow with ease God’s grace takes us to the summit Demons of mind, we need not please Simply flow like the morning breeze Love alone’s real, wisely choose Let now cravings of ego cease Succumb not to lower mind’s ruse Life’s a dream, we can never lose Find out the truth of who we are Feel how bliss mists, our form suffuse All’s within, not somewhere afar Our soul’s light is like the North Star To know the truth, simply be still There’s no need to struggle and spar Surrender fully to God’s will For pure hearts, voids within soon fill We are enabled by God’s grace Thus easy is ascent uphill Rubaitay |

Whispers from the void
silence intimate
beckons us ego prefers noise heart calls to head to align with love and regain poise |
The simple truth
We all are one, simply know this
Let’s see ourselves for who we are In God’s image, love, light and bliss No need then to struggle and spar Voids within fill, if we be still Let’s see ourselves for who we are On choosing to relinquish will Bliss magnetism pervades our form Voids within fill, if we be still Suffused with divine currents warm With Holy Spirit, we connect Bliss magnetism pervades our form We’re both the object and subject The truth is, we’re He, who we seek With Holy Spirit, we connect Simple is wisdom, yet quite deep We all are one, simply know this The truth is, we’re He, who we seek In God’s image, love, light and bliss Terzanelle |
Intermediate truths
Intermediate truths will do for now,
because we dwell as yet in lower mind and soul whispers know not how to follow; conditioned beliefs grip us in their bind and so for the moment, soul must lay low, since light of Self is known not to the blind. Lead us on pastor, for now, words will do, although deep in our heart, they don’t ring true. Ottava Rima |
So easy
mind inquires
but needs to stop handing over the baton to intelligence of our heart that the light of true Self illuminates our path |
Thank you Unseeking Seeker

The knowing
Presence complete yet in form feeling incomplete Surrenders imagined knowing at an unknown God’s feet We must be truthful about this, having not seen the unseen That in timeless time, in as ordained, we may reclaim soul’s sheen The ultimate truths have been repeatedly affirmed in various scriptures There is nether bondage nor limitation; self-imposed are strictures Confining awareness to the thinking process, we are bound Myriad fears and desires then inevitably twirl us around Relinquishing the delusional need to weigh and size Who in truth we really are, staid silence enables us to realise It is, we may say, something like waking up within life’s lucid dream Where the unfinished movie plays on shaped as thoughts we did stream Reworded, we may say that in reality, by so knowing, life flows as before But now having garnered clear sight, there are no goals to score We thus remain here present, aglow in our light luminescent Cognisant of this divine play of descent and ascent |
smiling as he fell
today my form walked
along a different route events dictated choice doing what did then suit ‘twas a strange combine of angst along with bliss blown like a leaf in storms I yet found nothing amiss darkness cloaked darkness but as self-luminescent soul as stillness amidst the chaos in the abyss too I felt whole |
i am
ego dies
yet i am radiant complete is-ness vivifies itself in itself I am as am self-existent luminous living light attributeless at peace feeling complete i renew life beyond time and space in singularity i am |
What is love
the love we speak of
is not a trade being unconditional it assigns no grade most seek reciprocation or at least recognition but true love dear hearts is bliss ignition look for these signposts joy, empathy, peace, purity all encompassing compassion free from insecurity |
Nip it in the bud
seemingly innocuous seeds of lustful outrage soon sprouted feral fangs although as yet unborn manifested in dreams we lived the desire in the savagery conjured in caverns dark astral realms which in time so became destiny in this density |
This is all it takes
Wherefrom arises the urge to expand,
rising above confines of body-mind? We know not the path, yet we understand, that unless attachments are left behind, thought forms of fear and desire will demand, that deaf to call of love, we remain blind. If we but choose to shift from head to heart, one with the universe, God search can start. Ottava Rima |
Ego fears the truth
as a multi-dimensional being
ego a temporary interface we see it gathering pebbles and stones knowing not each reflection is God’s face the veil of forgetting has caged us here yet within each polarity exchange boundaries blur and all then becomes one all is as before, which ego finds strange Quatrain |
The extra mile
How difficult is it to smile,
to hold a friend’s hand for a while, choosing to walk the extra mile? Let’s shed our resistance. Let’s take life slow and gently flow, awakening our inner glow, assisting those we meet to grow. Love is soul’s subsistence. Life’s a gift but we roam adrift, so time’s now to give soul a lift, by a simple consciousness shift. From God there’s no distance. |
Let us play
as of soul evolution
we’re a mix of good and bad that’s alright on an as is where is basis just as a game choose to dip down a little a pretence of course dwell in a fallen vibration but be mindful not to slip into the abyss then slowly exit from trance without judging because it’s a game pause now go the other way emulate any ascended being Jesus, Buddha, Shiva … does not matter who draw in essence of their being into our receptive heart allow luminescence to fill us and then so remain until gravity pulls us down to where we stand today pause notice we do not cling neither to the bad nor the good that’s alright Self is free from attributes |
Jacob’s ladder
Jacob’s ladder has nodes seven,
which our Father who’s in heaven, assists us here now to ascend, if our ego to love we bend, that by using mind of our heart, our life purpose on earth may start. Lay |
The practice
Recognising in each heart
God’s light How can love not blossom We mistook Forms we saw as separate From source But now knowing, we pause To pray And hold steady soul focus On God Who remains our only refuge |
Be here now
Take not holy name in vain,
more so if pleading for gain but simply be, here carefree, unshackled from our mind tree. We are the pulse that renews, life’s beauteous bliss beat hues, so let the waves come and go, keeping aflame our heart’s glow. Jueju |
Magic within
staff of power at our innermost core
reckons it’s time and so lets out a roar if we pause to blink, we’ll surely miss it let us choose then, to playfully submit |
