Did You Know of Time

What life giveth, life has already

taken away?

That is the nature

of unchanging change.

(February ‘76)

immortal I

The immortal I –

I care not.

(11 April ‘76)

Therefore

I am that which I come from

Therefore, how can I not

give back to Myself.

Mind

It seems only the mind

which clouds a clear

perception of reality.

(16 June ’76)

Life

Life

at this stage

You bless me

With everything I am.

You take

external contradictions

And swallow them

As the river does the drop.

Life

I aspire

for Your

Purity-Peace.

You show me

What is real

and everpresent

The reality untouched

by change –

The congealing of Your Light.

Ocean So Vast

Supreme

My Ocean

So vast

That i

Am thrown out

to contemplate Thee.

(July ‘76)

Freedom

From this moment lies freedom

- This moment is freedom itself.

(July ‘76)

Silence Is

Lord Supreme

The beauty of Thy Silence

Is Delight.

Definition

God is feeling,

not objectification.

(August ‘76)

Dust

The future is but

potentiality’s goal

And the past is dust:

The wheel’s inertia too,

is made of this same stuff.

The present is all.

For time,

is fashioned of its presence.

(August ‘76)

Truth

Lord, I aspire to Your Truth.

“It is not so abstract

That your can not become It.”

Rising Reality

De light is the Light of–Being.

(May ’77)

Sustenance’s Feeling Ocean

The quiet certitude

of Your delight-stream,

Burns the obscurity-mist

covering my depths.

Rolling Bliss-Nature You reveal,

evanescent thought-pulse

or mind-linked sensation-shadow

Is not,

of feeling-Reality

(12 June ‘77)

Thought Reality

We are but energy

congealed by Consciousness.

Substratum of Consciousness

“I am the Substratum

Which all exists upon

And, within.”

(August ‘77)

Evolution’s Field

Earth is evolution’s field:

We, but the flowers of eternity.

(August ‘77)

Silence Flow

Highest

I give You my body

and am uplifted…

I give You my mind

and am no more…

the i

The Soul’s Reality

I begged grace

to be purified

for my God’s sake.

My soul breathed,

awash in ecstasy,

fire and flame as one.

(December ‘77)

Mother, My Mind Gives Way To Silence

“Surrender

Be at peace

Know Love.

You are your Father’s child

Know Me and

I shall help Him fulfill you.”

Be Not Totally Deceived

“I have given to you

not because you deserve It.

Through infinite Compassion

I have seen how you need It.”

(January ‘78)

Within This Body Frame

Truly,

It is the Supreme who meditates;

for it is He, my Pilot,

Who lives and breathes within me.

(September ‘78)

The Present Structure of Time Has Merged

I do not need anything in the outer world.

It has already given me everything.

The rest is a shadow game of desire

over my present satisfaction.

I am neither restless nor lonely

for I am aware of my nature and,

The universal timelessness of its Source.

Existence-Heart

My Beloved Supreme

has discovered Himself

in my very existence-heart.

(November ‘78)

Living Awareness Standard

That life has no meaning

An impossibility –

Even the dryness of this muse

but an indication of possibility.

To be aware of Life –

The Consciousness by which we are played upon

And thus, knowingly play.

Come –

Allow the Well-Within

to be our evolving standard,

Our Source in

and of satisfaction.

Binary Distillation

Either Life has meaning

Or, life does not.

If not, it matters not.

If It does, it does.

Therefore, if it matters not,

We might as well, live it as if It does.

(Circa Life)

I Know My Name

What is my name

who am I

beyond the human-known?

I am the cosmic-Silence-sound.

And the Ether Was Solid As An Ocean-of-Love

Incredible Ocean-Vastness

of which I am

and am of

I touch You as the boundless joy

of my Father’s gift presence

for

Knowledge of Your constancy-existence

has given me the world.

(January ‘79)

Of the Soul

“Look beyond My body.

See through My eyes.

Know the Goal-of-Goals,

Radiant,

dancing in all life’s form.”

(31 January ‘79)

The Real Smile

Be the fulfillment of your own smile –

The one not dependent upon

The caprices of the world.

Of the Standard-Absolute

Maya is simply that

which is built

of relativity.

(March ‘79)

That Being Being That

What breaks the surface

of my Peace-Sea?

Desire-thought!

What restores this content

of my Being-Sea?

Awareness! Awareness!

Awareness of Its undisturbed nature.

A Tribute to the Nature

Of Silence and Movement

Only the distant awareness

of body’s warm life presence

wafts on the surface

of this vast still silence…

Yet, the rhythm flow

of forms’ life-breath’s wings

carries us on

in and above our sky-sea.

(15 March ‘79)

He Who Follows

In inner climb

Clear,

Beyond little light sparkles,

I saw that bird!

And felt it

Soaring free –

Ah,,

To live by thanks

And be;

one

Of sky

and he.

Where the Pendulum Only Seems to Stop

Always a goal.

Always a goal.

The peace-trail

of satisfaction’s achievement.

Always the game

of endless goal.

No different perhaps,

But in terms of awareness –

I only wish Being.

Being…

27 March ‘79)

Let Thine Eye Be Single

Mother Light!

Mother Light!

I need Thee!

I in thanks aspire,

through the gossamer tunnels

and reflections

of the peeking inner Sun,

swinging above,

the roof top

of lifted heaven gaze.

Balance and the Song’s of Birds

Thank You Lord

that I have reconciled

The finite

and the infinite

(17 April ‘79)

Pleasing the Human

Do I please the human in me?

Hopefully enough to know the joy

so to offer to You –

Oh Consciousness-Spectrum,

The gratitude of my being.

An Answer Concerning Change and Essence

Ah,

Free at last.

Emptied into the loneliness of self –

Alone?

But what was there ever?

What is all that is ever left?

Ah,

Yes,

It is, but

‘Self ’.

(25 April ‘79)

Of Enlightenment and Realization

The Diamond Sutra,

be the culmination of liberation

Realization

be the road beyond.

To The-Sun-Above

On Highest,

do be with me

So I am not merely grasped

in the near blind turmoil

of the world’s clamour

But rather

in awareness, float upon its surface.

(28 April ‘79)

Clarity

Seeing God but the Games beginning -

Becoming God, the Goal’s secret indeed.

(29 April ‘79)

Waves

Please Mother

Remove all thoughts

save one

the rolling beat

of Your heart-vast

Absolutness-Supreme.

Curvature of Time-Space

An instant

An undying reality

Accomplished before

its inception, or perception –

Yet unknown and

but dead before its finish –

For, it’s said time stops

when space bends far enough.

(July ‘79)

Of Candles and Incense

“Be still, Meditate,

For it is I who have already perfumed the day

and flooded it with light.”

A Statement of Laughter

Time and space

have blurred the borders of dissolution.

I don’t know what to make of it

because I feel so much

and

that’s OK.

(September ‘79)

River of Breath

Thank You Thank You Thank You

Thank You for the journey of Life

Thank You for the river of breath.

To Know the Present

Don’t search

the past for the present:

Enter into the present!

Know at time’s

seeming end,

you have not passed with it

but

grown in it.

Don’t dig unconsciously

at knots of hardened happening

but

do journey…

Sink then to the center -

know the unbounded present –

(12 October ‘79)

It Is Also Here - 86th St. at Dusk

I have a joy

that springs

eternal -

I have a joy

for which

I am thankful!

May We Learn to Hear and See as Awareness

What is maya

but forgetting

that Interrelationship

which is God –

The Trumpet-of Supreme-Becoming.

(November ‘79)

Even This

I am truly

tired of my mind!

Please give me

A heartfelt cry.

Soulful Awareness, Do Come

I am joyous!

Because I am crying bitter prayers

for You.

Oh inner Companion-of–Constancy

I need You – I need You – I do need You!

It is You who are none other than my Lord –

You are the voice of my awareness stream

which alone shall take me into the being

of my Consciousness –

The Source within which I move.

(24 November‘79)

Inwardly

Openly

and unhesitatingly

I ask

Lord

Please help this struggling cry

within me.

Even If

Lord please live within me.

Even if only

As a suffocated, struggling cry.

‘Child, it is not only I

Who am that cognizant cry,

But it is also I

Who tells you it is the growth

of a Wonderous Child.’

Thee In Contemplation of We

Through the form and facial façade

Where even breath’s rise and rhythm ebb

is seem to moveth not;

Devoid of thought

I contemplate a small universe of Thee.

My eyes just see,

While my soul is All –

That That within

is That without.

I have touched Brahman tonight

I am That

I am You

I am Me

I am We

I Am

Should, As A Little Bit

This may be joy

Or a little bit

of Delight –

But

however it’s broken down

It’s life as it should.

(21 December ‘79)

Accepting Your Task

Absolute

my Lord

I sit patiently

and prepare myself longingly

for Your

inevitable return.

I wait

I wait

for Your

uninterrupted stay.

Quickly and Surely

Joy is undoubtably of the highest Aspiration

in that it is already forming itself

in the true nature

of the Supreme.

(2 January ‘80)

Blessed

Highest, You’ve blessed me

with everything.

You’ve blessed me with

the ability to enjoy it

to accept it

and grow from it in thanksgiving.

(2 January ‘80)

An Endless Bridge to Carry Us

If, time past exits not

And the future too but dust;

Then, the present --- ?

Be but the link

validating its own existence

with spans that have no

limits of demarcation.

A Concept of Reality

Since neither just

within

nor just without

To disclaim AllBeing

is to relegate the intricacies

of ones own existence

To a mere self-contained humanness.

(17 January ‘80)

Attachment

What does attachment bring?

Confusion!

What does loving-detachment bring?

Compassion-liberation!

(18 January ‘80)

Of All That Is Temporal

Place not want nor

extension in the future

For that which you have is eternal

For as long as it lasts.

Brahman Is

- What is Brahman? –

‘Brahman is the highest

Cause and Effect.’

But Brahman is beyond cause and effect.

‘Certainly,

Brahman is the Highest Cause.

Brahman is the Highest Effect.’

(26 January ‘80)

To Limit God’s Descent

To limit God’s descent

to one time, place,

or form

Is not only to limit God Itself

but also

to deny our own divinity –

Either today, or tomorrow.

The Earth is Covered in Objects of It’s Nature

Why should I

desire, or be

so attached to,

a body - ?

Everybody carries one.

They abound around us

as rocks and stones.

(5 February ‘80)

What Where When How

Eternity is found

when time is

not so much stretched,

But made devoid

of occupying oneself

in past or future.

Names and SatChitAnanda

Do you believe

in God?

Call it what you

will

but I do believe

In my deeper

underlying nature.

(13 February ‘80)

Who Looks?!

Lord

I give You me.

Who is this me?

Lord it is You

Looking at Yourself.

Awareness of

Only one gift I ask –

Silence..

I wish to go back to

being ‘aware’ of

What it was like

Before ‘i’ entered.

(1 March ‘80)

The Flesh of Brahman is Time

Time standing

still is the Flesh of Brahman.

For when matter

dissolves in the Mother

of its own nature,

no line or chimerical form

remains to lend the appearance

of breath.

What is God

God is

The Omnipotent

Omnipresent

Perceived

Deep within our

our own being.

(September ‘80)

Who

Who am I?

?

I

Am

Thy Thanksgiving

Realizing the experience

of My Nature.

Simplicity (Complicated)

Simplicity is uncomplicated,

Uncomplication is peace,

Peace is an overriding acceptance

of all within

and without

that changes

And is directly

or indirectly

quickly

or over vast time

affected by

the enactment

of our presence.

(13 November’80)

The Word Light

Light

is a reasonable analogy

Being

as it speaks of a gentle search

And

is illumined by the supernova within!

Loci and Matrixed Gradients ~

The Grains of Space

Life isn’t made of

matter

It’s made with

indivisible particles

of time.

(17 November’80)

Life

Accept it ~

It will bite you

pull you

flow about you

elate you

And carry you

in the perfectness

of the reality

it is.

Inner Ocean Mists

Learn to be satisfied

with the little things in life

Like the cavernous depths

within yourself.

(27 February’81)

Becoming the Incredible

There is a long way to go

but I can enjoy it

if I free myself

from myself..

This is the process

for which Myself awaits.

Of Communication Beyond Words

Yes, the Self is possible

and

Yes, these depths contain

their own means of

inner understanding,

progressive interaction

and,

Undeniable communication.

(24 February ’81)

One True God

When the Jews see Jesus

as a great prophet

unseparated from

the ‘Old’ Testament

And Christians seeing Christ

as everything

one has to be

to be the son of God

Then perhaps

we can be

closer to the One

in our own bodies.

Of Buddhas and Christs

They, entered

to the Centre

of The Great Truth

and brought forth

That God.
