Wholeness / Oneness

A great poem, a timeless stanza of thought, a true writing that stirs and swells the heart; what are these precious forms save a moment of Love plucked from Time to stand as testimony to a perfection briefly remembered as the living foundation of all things. The poet is presented the proposal, the moment where the Great Pain beckons him to marriage. He is awakened from a slumber to answer th...

We must not fear these wild pulsations of hope-filled feelings too deep to hold... for they have an accord with themselves, and their own path to follow. These sometimes too strong stirrings of that unbearable wish for a compassion that can embrace all of creation must not be dampened simply because we don't understand the pressing of their presence in us.

Your life is just a stream of thought; Thought is a ceaseless postponement; I've never felt what it is like to truly be alive; You are being given life, you are not the creator of it; There's fear in imitation; The fact of the moment has no residue in it whatsoever; You live from a nature that's in a perpetual scramble to protect itself; I don't know what to do about how I feel...

Topics covered: Love moves in slow motion; We make so much out of nothing; Reality is a singularity; To be unaware is to be spiritually asleep; Our consciousness has no awareness of itself; Beginning to doubt your own certainty produces an awareness of the opposites; I can't hurt you without having hurt myself first; You can't do any more than your consciousness allows...
