[Unseeking Seeker]

Riding a roller coaster
Propelled by life’s velocity
Governed by instincts and thought
Driven by an urge to emerge victorious
Sentience deadened to conscience
Flitting thus from desire to desire
We built an imaginary script
Of narrow ego identity

Some conquests won
We saw not unshed tears
Of mute weaker souls wasted
Owing to our callous, feral savagery
Likewise, we encountered defeat
Whereupon we steadied heart
Resolving to rise once again
Imagining ego as the doer

Our face in the mirror
Reflected pride and conceit
Beggars too began looking away
Recognising our cold, hard countenance
So it chanced to pass that by grace
One day we chose to look within
Shocked to see soul shrivelled
Lonely in our bleeding heart

We stopped the flow of time
Frozen for what seemed eternity
Crying out silently into the vast void
Wishing to be healed and feel complete
A divine voice instantly responded
Asking if our resolve was strong
To walk the talk as affirmed
In thought, word and deed

The path simple and direct
Liken it to a hop-on hop-off bus
We hop off the ego bus and choose love
Shifting consciousness from head to heart
Voice of conscience grew stronger
We dwelt not on material gain
Shifting into mindfulness
A stillness continuum

Yet love that is imbibed
Takes time for assimilation
But what matters time any more
To the one who has since vaporised
In timeless time ensconced in bliss
Empowered by a magnetic pulse
Which we may give any name
Kundalini or The Holy Spirit

Baptised in the stream
Twice born, we yet lived on
Our soul within, one with oneness
Seeing now earth life as but a lucid dream
Wherein we are being breathed by God
As He does for all sentient life forms
To fulfil our soul’s smallest wish
Now aligned with love alone

Now we do honestly confess
We know not what scriptures say
All we affirm from our life experience
Is that once we align with God’s love impulse
For each step we take, He leaps forward
Gathering us in His warm embrace
Lighting the lamp of love within
Darkness then is no more

Poem inspired by the prompt: 1 John 1:9 KJV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Omnipresent spirit
Humming with potential
Energised as the kundalini
Chooses to complete the loop
Thus rising along spine to crown
Continuing further dipping to third eye
Allowing time for triangulation stabilisation
As Sahasrara, Ajna and Anahata synchronise
Initiating entwinement of wisdom and love
Whereupon soma trickles to the navel
Invoking Rudra’s warrior potency
That love, wisdom and power
Reenter domain of Brahma
Holding erect energies
At the root chakra

innate aliveness is lustful
constantly seeking to expand
restless glowing heart never full
yearning for pastures far more grand

being in itself, infinite
innate aliveness is lustful
misaligned desire is its blight
distanced from love, Gods miracle

void before us invisible
seeks vibrancy of divine hues
innate aliveness is lustful
burning yearning within renews

to overflow with heightened bliss
cessation gateway spherical
ever entwined in joy caress
innate aliveness is lustful

Quote by Mother Teresa ‘hidden’ -to know, read the words in CAPS

~~~

The pathless path, our mind knows NOT
Yet heart knows, what we ALL forgot
Trust in God, let go OF desire
Exiting thought, ego begot

Each of US for truth, does aspire
But we CAN DO naught, for we tire
So let’s be still and surrender
God’s GREAT grace, will take us higher

THINGS we seek, pulls us down under
BUT WE CAN, if we choose, ponder
That that comes and goes, illusion
DO still mind, in childlike wonder

SMALL THINGS, big things, our delusion
WITH the divine, let’s choose fusion
God’s GREAT LOVE, we may feel here now
All souls one, with no exclusion

[Unseeking Seeker]

No sooner that a desire does arise
Know ego is at play
Our nonchalant soul presence blocks it’s rise
Lest joy veiled by clouds grey
Dark fears then holding sway

When single pointed be our attention
We’re centred in the void
Flicker-free then is our meditation
Vibrant heart by love buoyed
No longer by fate toyed

Earth life sojourn then unfolds by itself
For we’re not the doer
No desirous agenda’s on our shelf
Life mellow and slower
God alone’s the mover

Quintain (English)

“Thought forms desire spawns are suspect
Detached soul alone stands erect”

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

Attachments compel stagnation
Fears and desires then enmesh soul
Illusion bondage delusion
Heart cries out, to again feel whole

Thoughts spiral in a narrow band
Attachments compel stagnation
Made thus captive by our own hand
We crouch in fearful contraction

Path to freedom is cessation
Fearless spirit in witness stance
Attachments compel stagnation
Jubilant heart chooses to dance

Our life, our choice, be to become
Make then each breath celebration
Joyous heart makes love feel welcome
Attachments compel stagnation

Scriptures rich with esoteric wisdom deep
Each has it’s validity
Yet without direct knowing, words are cheap
For where’s the certainty
That there’s the Trinity

Allowing that sages have gone to the roots
We walk not in their shoes
Each path unique, all doing what heart suits
Until grazed by bliss hues
Ignition that renews

Once head melds with heart, baptised in the stream
Our lower mind falls away
Entwined with oneness we know life’s a dream
Desires no longer hold sway
Love divine, our mainstay

God’s omnipresent, so must be here within
Thus, let’s choose cessation
We embrace the current as bliss burns our skin
Freeing us from delusion
Earth life then celebration

[Unseeking Seeker]

Life essence clues abound
Both within us and all around
Cognised by us in staid stillness
When be be one with oneness
Dawning of God-epiphany
One appearing as many
Ephemeral forms vaporise
Save vibrational bliss surprise
Void in heart suffused with rapture
A radiance mind cannot capture
Vibrancy of dynamic silence
Revealing self-effulgence

Free verse

[Unseeking Seeker]

Believing as real, our earth life role
we ask not ourself who in truth we are
although conscience whispers, as voice of soul
we suppress love and continue to spar

Strangely we yet cling to a God concept
without ever seeing Him face to face
deeming ourselves for this honour inept
whilst refusing to slow down dream life pace

Methinks dear hearts, the rot has sunk in deep
for we walk not the talk owing to fear
thus holding in truth, God’s love and light cheap
dwelling in darkness, although He’s so near

Choose oh lama, tranquil stillness sedate
God’s here, immediate and intimate

[Unseeking Seeker]

To feel contrast in space and time
We ride life’s Ferris wheel
Feelings gross, mundane and sublime
With each in turn, we deal

Early years, driven by instinct
Mission’s to seize and size
Selfish heart, not yet by love inked
Self-blocks offered surprise

Deadened to the voice of conscience
Each day we agitate
Until we reclaim innocence
We’re blown away by fate

Fleeting is joy, poignant our pain
Where’s bliss throb permanent
Bound head to foot by desire’s chain
Our doom seems imminent

Yet if we choose, we may be free
In this very instant
Head-heart meld and with love agree
Lower mind decadent

Abiding in thought rested calm
In but not of the world
Poised thus, life holds for us no qualm
Bliss magnetism unfurled

Boundless bliss here within our reach
When lamp of love is lit
This is a path, no one can teach
Truth revealed, bit by bit

Ego urge shorn, we yet live on
As vibrant soul presence
We become then thus, the twice born
Sparkling luminescence

There is no way, save our yearning
To entwine self with God
Bliss pulsations keep on burning
By His touch, overawed
