What was said vs understood?

[Unseeking Seeker]

One became two and two, many
Each dream image, an ego form
Embarks upon its soul journey
Feeling currents, both cold and warm

Myriad objects, one subject
One became two and two, many
Soul awakes, when it stands erect
Aligned with love, free from worry

Dead men walking, is not funny
Immersed in feral thoughts savage
One became two and two, many
Imaginary is bondage

Oh hermit, awake in stillness
Search no more, for pastures sunny
Entwine now, with the That oneness
One became two and two, many

Quatern

[Unseeking Seeker]

Last evening a few close friends gathered
Seemingly all knew each other well or did we
For when asked as to what gives us happiness
The revelations expressed did indeed surprise me

The list was travelling, socialising and hobby pursuit
Whilst one said peace without knowing the cause
A common thread being attachment to family
So what could I say in the pregnant pause

Happiness that depends upon an activity
Surely a mind game in the world of transience
If we are the subject and myriad desires, the object
Where lies bliss current pervading form in permanence

On seeing my friends perplexed faces, I did then realise
It’s futile attempting to delineate bliss throb ineffable
In this world where we continually weigh and size
Very few seem to have imbibed God’s miracle

[Unseeking Seeker]

As is said, we are He, who we seek
Today, let’s find out together
Love beckons, we try to take a sneak peek
But fears and desires tether
Veiled remains The Divine Mother

Knowing not the way, we stop flow of thought
Resting in pristine stillness
Joy currents within rise, both cold and hot
Heightening our awareness
Kundalini consciousness

Sublime serpent at root begins to stir
Divine feminine awake
Energy centers in subtle body whir
Our spine does the shake-shake-shake
Trust us; our sanity’s at stake

Pathways three; Sushumna, Ida and Pingala
Snake divine makes up its mind
Upon path of least resistance, has a gala
Unless ego borne fears bind
Charmed by our heart, it’s touch is kind

Oh worthy lama, go beyond all opposites
Serpent’s Holy Spirit in disguise
Be bemused not by myriad composites
Now, ceasing to weigh and size
Allow divinity to rise

“Bliss magnetism, deep within our heart grows
Shout it from the rooftops, yet no one knows”

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

God’s energy love, that employs no force
He waits with patience, for us to awake
When head and heart align, full of remorse
Heart’s suffused with bliss; mind a tranquil lake

Purring, joyous rapture, felt deep within
Ignites from root to crown, chakras seven
Bliss ignition, each moment does begin
Teleporting consciousness to heaven

We wish to share but who is there to pair
Ferality shorn, we’re here now reborn
How to translate, awareness self-aware
Luminous aura, our soul does adorn

Such secrets divine, hidden in plain sight
Enlivens presence, through each day and night

Sonnet

[Unseeking Seeker]

earth life dream sequence, unfolds as ordained
all we may choose, is manner of response
no sooner this truth, in us is ingrained
upright and joyous, will become our stance

this mind body vessel, make our vassal
too long we allowed tail to wag the dog
let us heed only the love pulse whistle
or else remain befuddled in a fog

save silence and stillness, there is no way
fervent prayer too works, holding focus
what matters is attention does not sway
poised steadfast along the divine locus

Any moment we choose, we can be free
All we need to do, is cease to worry

Sonnet

[Unseeking Seeker]

Love alone is real, so let’s rest thought
Then poised in the void, our soul’s free from stain
Vaporised self, no longer by fear fraught
Equal to us then are both sun and rain
Erst fears and desires, all to rest are lain
Purity of intent assures ascent
Rising far above earthy loss and gain
Our tranquil heart thus joyous and content

Ego anchors us in a narrow slot
Cause of suffering, again and again
Stagnation therein becomes our soul’s blot
High time we end this cause and effect chain
For free will, once thought as boon, clearly bane
Trusting in God, let us cease to lament
In silence and stillness, bliss hues ingrain
Our tranquil heart thus joyous and content

Our wayward consciousness, love path forgot
Conscience yet counsels us righteousness sane
Heeding it’s soft voice we become self-taught
Head-heart melded, we be humble, not vain
Look not upon fellow souls with disdain
Reclaim here now, soul self-luminescent
Jettisoning lower mind down the drain
Our tranquil heart thus joyous and content

All is enabled; there’s no need to strain
Bliss magnetism explodes, effervescent
Love ignites within form, our central vein
Our tranquil heart thus joyous and content

Ballade

[Unseeking Seeker]

Mind doesn’t know where third eye is
Location signalled by bliss fizz
We alone feel, the soma flow
Scriptures but pose, a mind game quiz

Truths esoteric, if we’d know
Feel the central vein, all aglow
From root to crown, soundless thunder
Agamas known in stillness slow

[Unseeking Seeker]

Looking at objects in astonishment
Knowing they are but manifestation
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment

Bliss ensconced, our heart purrs in contentment
Knowing what eyes see as but illusion
Looking at objects in astonishment

One with That oneness, in the bliss current
Knowing God within, in meditation
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment

In pulse of descent, assured is ascent
Knowing that fleeting is our delusion
Looking at objects in astonishment

Bliss throbs within us, without abatement
Knowing that there is no separation
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment

According right of way to love current
Knowing our essence is bliss elation
Looking at objects in astonishment
We flow through life, in childlike wonderment

Villanelle

[Unseeking Seeker]

As an earth bound entity
Encased in this organic form
That decays moment to moment
Bewildered by illusion, thus in delusion
We are asked to repent and believe
That we may return to God’s fold
Wherefrom we strayed away
Termed as fall from grace

As an agnostic we pause
Evaluating this religious call
Allowing that it is well intentioned
With several commandments listed
As signposts we would do well to follow
Yet to be true to our heart we question
This proposition proclaiming guilt
Wherein as a sinner we atone
The sins of Adam and Eve

No, it does not resonate

So we look at other isms
Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism
Oh, they all talk of love and truth
Yet each path demands blind faith
But is faith strong without realisation
For is it not yet but a thought construct
So how can we use mind to go beyond mind
It is clear we cannot thus choose stillness
Resting thought flow in tranquil silence
Whereupon ego recedes being unfed
Then that that remains is pure love
Being God’s energy now manifest
Felt vividly as bliss magnetism
Pervading each pore of form
Transmuting consciousness

In time recognition dawns
That we are soul in mind-body
Our soul being but God-essence
Inseparable from the That oneness
Thus our ‘sin’ being separation from God
Free will choosing to conjure a false ego self
With ‘repentance’ being recognition of the truth
That identification with this body is delusion
Our ignorance due to this self-hypnosis
Wherein we form earthy attachments
Orbited by fear and desire spirals
Anchoring us in the darkness
Oblivious to God within

Now we understand the Word

Yet wisdom must replace knowing
Upon being connected with Holy Spirit
Called by different names across the world
Prana, Shakti, Kundalini, it’s the current divine
Blurring boundaries between what we call ‘I’ and That
Mind games cease as we vaporise as a bliss mist
Consciousness expands centred everywhere
Directly seeing that God in-dwells all forms
Including us of course, oh worthy lama

So it’s a a game of union and separation
By the creation of duality and polarity
Wherein soul breaks away from God
Feels harsh contrast and anguish
With momentary joy thrown in
Until reaching point of exhaustion
Or which we may term as repentance
When we see and so believe in God again
Knowing ourself to be one with Him in fullness

So we surrender and meld with the flow
Free from sin, free of guilt, in childlike trust
Looking back wonder, why it’s made so complex
For it is at end of days, a journey without movement
Requiring but cessation of thought that feeds ego
Our emptiness then suffused with bliss thunder
Felt within in physical reality (where else?)
As we simply let go of, to get to, God

It’s all within
