Enigma

An enigma you are, ununderstood, unsolved
Crawling silently, a visitor uncalled
You come in and settle without a knock
And speak no words, there's nothing to talk

Face, body, colour, taste and smell you lack
Your presence is pregnant silence black
You look and find your image in my eyes
Slowly replaced by the vast skies

Wind of sorrow turbulent grips the sky tight
Poor sky is no match to the delirious might
It screams thunder and cries out rain
Then no wind or sky, only my trickling tears of pain

I need a shoulder to lean and cry
And a hand to soothe my sigh
You've caused my heart's turmoil and emptiness
I ask your identity,
you say, "My name is Loneliness".

A Walk with You

Will you walk with me
deep into the woods
And live with life
to cherish her seasonal moods
And feel the ecstasy
of the morn's joyous heart
As it kisseth the ravishing
Earth with art
And get mesmerised
by the silent night
As the heavens shower stars
blending glory with the sight.

Will you walk with me
on the blue paths untrod
Wrapped with serenity
unto the abode of God
And touch the sanctity
of the sky infinite
Feeling the pleasure
of life's greatest delight
And swing on time
with a promise from thee
That thy shall walk
thus forever with me.

Miracles

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.
The real miracle is the love that inspires them.
In a sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.
Miracles bear witness to truth.
They are convincing because they arise from conviction.

A miracle is a service.
It is maximal service you can render to another.
It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself.
You recognize your own and your neighbor's worth simultaneously.

Miracles are teaching devices for demonstrating it is as blessed to give as to receive.
They increase the strength of the giver and supply strength to the receiver.
Miracles reflect the laws of eternity, not of time.

Miracles lift the veil and rests on the threshold of the eternal spiritual dream.
Spirit is in a state of grace forever, Your reality is only spirit,
Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.

A Course in Miracles

A Conversation

Fear is the other end of love.
It is the primal polarity.

In creating the realm of the relative, I first created the opposite of My Self.
Now, in the realm in which you live on the physical plane,
there are only two places of being: fear and love.
Thoughts rooted in fear will produce one kind of manifestation on the physical plane.
Thoughts rooted in love will produce another.

The Masters who have walked the planet are those who have discovered the
secret of the relative world- and refused to acknowledge its reality.
In short, Masters are those who have chosen only love.
In every instance. In every moment. In every circumstance.
Even as they were being killed, they loved their murderers. Even as they were being persecuted, they loved their oppressors.

This is very difficult for you to understand, much less emulate.
Nevertheless, it is what every Master has ever done.
It doesn't matter what the philosophy, it doesn't matter what the tradition, it doesn't matter what the religion- it is what every Master has done.

This example and this lesson has been laid out so clearly for you.
Time and time again, over and over has it been shown to you.
Through all the ages and in every place.
Through all your lifetimes and in every moment.

The universe has used every contrivance to place this Truth before you.
In song and story, in poetry and dance, in words and in motion- in pictures of motion,
which you call motion pictures, and in collections of words, which you call books.

From the highest mountain it has been shouted, in the lowest place
its whisper has been heard.
Through the corridors of all human experience has this Truth been echoed:
Love is the answer.

Yet you have not listened.
The soul is very clear that its purpose is evolution.
That is its sole purpose and its highest feeling is the experience of unity with All That Is.
This is the great return to Truth for which the soul yearns.

This is the feeling of perfect love.

Neale Donald Walsch - A Coveration with God

The Seat of the Soul

Non-judgemental justice is a perception
that allows you to see everything in life,
but does not engage your negative emotions.

Non-judgemental justice relieves you of the
self-appointed job of judge and jury
because you know that everything is being seen-
nothing escapes the law of karma-
and this brings forth understanding and compassion.

Non-judgemental justice is the freedom of seeing
what you see and experiencing what you experience
without responding negatively.
It allows you to experience directly the unobstructed
flow of the intelligence, radiance and love of the universe
of which our physical reality is a part.

Non-judgemental justice flows naturally from
understanding the soul and how it evolves.

Gary Zukav

The Now

You are here to enable the divine of the universe to unfold.
The present moment holds the key to liberation.
To the mind, the present moment hardly exists.
It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, and
constantly projects itself into the future.

Humans have been in the grip of pain for eons,
ever since they fell from the state of grace,
entered the realm of time and mind,
and lost awareness of being.

Make the now the primary focus of your life.

The egocentric needs are endless...to be identified
with your mind is to be trapped in time: it creates an
endless preoccupation with past and future and unwillingness
to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be.

The now is the only point that can take you beyond the
limitted confines of the mnd.
It is your only point of access into the timeless and
formless realm of being.
When you reconnect with being, you no longer
participate in the egocentric drama.

Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the now.
Nothing will ever happen in the future, it will happen in the now.
There is never a time when your life is not " this moment".

Eckhart Tolle

My Beloved

In the twinkling midnight,

I see you, my beloved, as the Moon,

one amidst a thousand stars;

longing for me with passionate patience,

lighting the heavenly dark bars.

Upon the Earth,

I stand as an ocean of love,

jewelled by your glittering light,

I treasure your silvery reflection

deep down my heart;

and with splendid delight,

I raise my watery hands

to thy affection infinite.

Remember Forever

Remember always that you are just a visitor here,
a traveler passing through.
your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown.
None can live without toil and a craft that provides your needs
is a blessing indeed.
But if you toil without rest,
fatigue and wearness will overtake you,
and you will denied the joy that comes from labour's end.

Speak quietly and kindly and be not forward with either
opinions or advice.
If you talk much, this will make you deaf to what others say,
and you should know that there are few so wise that they
cannot learn from others.
Be near when help is needed, but far when praise and
thanks are being offered.

Take small account of might, wealth and fame,
for they soon pass and are forgotten.
Instead, nurture love within you and and strive to be a friend to all.
Truly, compassion is a balm for many wounds.
Treasure silence when you find it,
and while being mindful of your duties,
set time aside, to be alone with yourself.

Cast off pretense and self-deception and see yourself as you really are.
Despite all appearances, no one is really evil.
They are led astray by ignorance.
If you ponder this truth always you will offer more light,
rather then blame and condemnation.
You, no less than all beings have Buddha Nature within.

Your essential Mind is pure.
Therefore, when defilements cause you to stumble and fall,
let not remose nor dark foreboding cast you down.
Be of good cheer and with this understanding, summon strength
and walk on.
Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame burn bright.

Carry this lamp always and in good time the darkness will yield
and you will abide in the Light.
