Pure consciousness freedom from thought

Divine inspiration curious awesome wonder

Intuitive awareness overwhelming perceptual senses

The is nothing to understand

 

            RESTLESSNESS à TRANQUILITY

 

Unlocking enigmatic mysteries of existence

Altered frequency state shifting from

Egocentric I to innermost Self

Redirected matter vital energy source

 

            RIGIDITY à FLEXIBILITY

 

Mindfulness sticks to mouth’s roof

Bespeaking universal all-ness in oneness

Estranged polyglots babbling in tongues

Common bonds reconciling unique individuality

 

            INDIFFERENCE à COMPASSION

 

Primal cosmic principles complementary forces

Inseparable unity vis-à-vis duality reversals

Waxing presence in absence waning

Formless nothing changes delicate balance

 

            VANITY à SANITY

 

Flash floods of emotion overflow

Repressed deep-set feelings breathing free

Redemptive enlightened vision outwardly expressive

Measured emptiness full of itself

 

            CONCEIT à EGOTISM

 

All created beings kindred spirits

Our global family blood brotherhood

Extensively inclusive definition relating to

Everything or everyone without exception
