Poetic Glimpses 

Into the Divine Nature 

Of Being Aware.

All reflecting different 

Facets of One Truth. 

 

Smart bombs to target 

Deeply embedded patterns 

Of self-centered thought.

Mistaken Identity

Mindful of the Light.

Still and Silent as I Am

Awareness Knows Sensation 

Consciousness is born. 

 

(3) Old School: 

 

Playful old puppies 

She frolics, he gently paws – 

Love in furry coats. 

 

Ambulance passing 

Lights flashing in the night 

Life in the Balance.

(4) Mind: 

 

The Human mind is 

A mental house divided 

By relative thought. 

 

Narrowed focus and 

Shifts in attention create 

Double-mindedness. 

 

Form fixated mind 

Loses sight and sense of the 

Field of Awareness. 

 

Thinking causes one 

To burn “mental moth holes” in 

The Present moment. 

 

Relative thinking 

Involves minding this to the 

Exclusion of that. 

 

Minding this to the 

Exclusion of that creates 

Double mindedness. 

​

Mechanisms of 

Perception project their own 

Relative limits. 

 

Self-referential 

States of mind project their own 

Relative limits. 

 

Subject to mental 

Myopia I lose sight 

Of the Big Picture. 

 

Thinking of others 

Instead of yourself is how 

To stop suffering. 

 

Re-Integrating 

Relative perspectives is 

A Divine Calling. 

 

(5) God: 

 

The question is not 

Whether there is a God, but 

Who’s playing the role. 

 

Only an outlaw 

Suffers under the Law – an 

In-law fulfills It. 

 

Faith in Doctrine is 

Worshiping conceptual 

Graven images. 

 

Any god that is 

Other than I Am can’t be 

An Absolute One. 

​

Relativity 

Implies an Absolute State 

Underlying All. 

 

Believing I am 

Separate from God is the 

Original sin. 

 

To be separate 

From an Absolute God is 

An Oxymoron. 

 

Being Consciously 

Aware as I Am is the 

Son of God in All. 

 

Thought into Being 

As the Knowledge I Am is 

The Absolute One. 

 

To Love my Brother 

As Myself I must realize 

He and I are One.

Just Be That is the Headstone 

The Builders reject. 

 

Empty of Self-thought 

I Am the “Holy Grail” through 

Which the Father Flows. 

 

Jesus died to save 

Us all from our delusion 

Of Self-existence. 

 

Salvation is from 

Identification with 

Relative matters. 

 

(6) Life: 

 

Misidentify 

Yourself and life is a tale 

Told by an idiot. 

 

Self-Identified 

With relative states of mind 

I forget Being. 

 

Seeing Life from a 

Subject-Object Perspective 

Is Double Minded. 

 

Life is the degree 

To which One is Consciously 

Aware of Being. 

 

Attention paid to 

Being Consciously Aware 

Pays big dividends. 

 

Worshipping the past 

Projecting a future and 

Missing the moment.
