Mystical essence.

“The way you can go isn’t the real way.  The name you can say isn’t the real name.  Heaven and earth begin in the unnamed:  Name’s the mother of the ten thousand things.”  ~ Lao Tzu.

 

Mystical essence

It carries no name, quality, idea, or belief,
And yet the ordinary man tries to define it;
It must be felt deeper than what is deep,
And higher than what is high to the mind.
There is no source and no understanding,
For there is no bind to time and space,
For there is no question and answer;
There is no action but profound non-action,
And one with it is the superior realization
As the mind of the ordinary becomes it.
The eternal essence of the Mystical Flow
Allows morning dew to bathe gentle wind,
Allows blooming flower to share its perfume,
Allows magical connection between two souls.
The ether emanates from it in meditation;
So mind rejects what is not, embraces what is.
One with the ether of Cosmic Nature then
I become one and the same in essence;
Once I let go of all, it all comes to me;
Once I accept the flow, I am the flow;
Once it enters, I enter and differences vanish.
Droplets of morning dew bathe my conscience,
Immortality is now experienced in the conscious me.

~ Asa.

Mind.

???????????

“Meditation is not a way of making the mind quiet.  It is a way of entering the quiet that is already there–buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person has every day.”  ~ Deepak Chopra.

 

_Once you stop the chatter and empty your mind, the elevation can commence._

 

Mind

It has been well said of the elevation of the Sage,
Whose mind touches the stars and feet the ground,
Whose wise finger points the Vastness of no age,
That his Mind reaches the Cosmic, Universal Sound.
But what is it that makes the Mind of the Sage…??
The world keeps dying and the people is blind,
The world keeps dying, lies, wars, hate, rage.
You see, the Mind of the Sage sees beyond this bind.

First it appears randomly within the dark space,
Then it is consumed by the pettiness and greed;
The thought begets an idea wicked and base,
When the heart dies, the ego of the world seeds.
But self-reflection is what the lowest Mind needs,
For it is to dwell and know your own dark room.
But self-reflection is where the superior Mind lives,
For it is where self-love and the flower bloom.

As the deer focuses on the lights and freezes in fear,
The Mind of man cannot see beyond what is allowed.
As the emergent world turns and produces a tear,
The Mind of man cannot see beyond the ill crowd.
The Mind must seek its own individual place
Far from the beliefs and deceits of the throng,
The Mind must elevate itself to heavenly grace
Where the Light of rationale is clear and strong.

As pure gold.

“To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves—there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.”  ~ Joan Didion; American journalist and writer of novels, plays, screenplays, and autobiographical works.

“That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.”  ~ William J. H. Boetcker; German minister and motivational speaker.


 
As pure gold
 
As the concealed mysteries of the deep seas,
As the creatures which no eyes have ever seen,
There is the glorious purity of your soul
As profound and valuable as pure gold;
For it is in thee that life is appreciated,
For it is in thee that such is elevated.
 
All the kind people one loves and cherishes
May be as the light bulb which flickers in the dark,
The light which changes intensity as mood,
The light which guides and obscures the truth.
They may ask and demand, rob you of your option,
Where the light is faint, where truth is distortion.
 
The rose blooms under the light of the warm Sun;
You and I develop under the warmth of self-respect.
To master the space and the planets is nothing;
To master the Eternal Love in thee is everything.
Why give knowing that they will just take and take…??
If you always give, play the fool, your love is fake.
 
The repeated mistakes of good and decent people,
To give and forgive about the love for themselves,
To expect the beast to change when it lives by instinct.
But to love oneself is the glorious purity of your soul,
To know that you are as profound and valuable as pure gold.
 
~ Asa.

“Love is what shines over the trees.”

“You don’t love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.”  ~ Anonymous.

 

“Secrets of the stars“

If you look deeper into the magic of the stars,
Within the cosmos and wonders of your heart,
That is where you will find the sight to know,
The eyes to see the sexiest part of a woman,
Which lies not on her body
Or pretty face;
The sexiest part of a woman
Is in the recesses of her beautiful mind,
And that is where she hides away.
The kinky side which shines in the dark,
The naughty girl which conceals dreams,
The eternal believer of the magic.
The sexiest part of a woman
Is in the silent secrets of the stars
That she keeps locked away for someone to find.

                                                                                    ~ Asa.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.  Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all.  But to the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.”  ~ William Blake; English poet, painter, and printmaker.

 

“Love is what shines over the trees“

The wind carries the magic of the cosmos,
Yes, as it dances in your earthly mind,
Yes, as the morning dawn touches your heart,
Yes, as the birds sing in cosmic awareness,
Yes, as the lovely flower opens to the bees,
Saying, “Love is what shines over the trees.”

This cosmic essence is about us and them,
It is beyond the eye, the nose, and the ear,
And it raises the question of Infinity no one really understands:
What is that which you and I call Love beyond the petty sights…??
The Eternal Beloved knows, within us, the earth, the sky, the seas,
Saying, whispering with the winds, “Love is what shines over the trees.”

                                                                           ~ Asa.

The place for all.

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”  ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

“He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.”  ~ Buddha.

 

The place for all

Beyond wild thoughts and ignorant beliefs,
Beyond all your petty misconducts and mental illnesses,
There is a greater field of cosmic understanding
Which resonates beyond our Heaven and Hell.
This place knows not of birth and death,
This place is the silence of Creation itself,
This place is where we shall meet without barriers.
When the bird sings, the dog barks, the person talks.
When the winds whistle, the storm shouts in anger.
A space between the noise and the beat of the heart.
Between you and me where it goes far into deeper Nature.
Sunrise and Sunset live in this Conscious substance,
They carry the whispers of our immortality,
Where we become one and thought does not perturb,
Where you and I do not exist and where peace unites us all.
Springs the illusion of Heaven and Hell, of a dual existence,
Where there is only sleep and no one sees but dreams.
This is the abyss of difference as the wars rise.
You must wake up, see the horizon as beautiful as I see,
That beauty is the only constant, and we are in this together.

~ Asa

Under the moon.

“Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other.”  ~ Olive Schreiner; South African author, anti-war campaigner and intellectual.

Under The Moon

Our hearts dance Under The Moon so bright,
Angels sing as we hold each other tight,
Enjoying the experience of the eternal moment,
Two best friends and two lovers without comment;
Our eyes communicate what our mouths cannot utter,
Our ears listen to the sweet music of the river’s flutter.

Up into the mountains and away from the crowds,
Staring up into the heavens with no clouds,
We came through the path full of tree leaves,
Crossed the valley and passed the farm’s sheaves;
Seeing the open skies Under The Moon,
We sat upon the heart-shaped trunk hewn.

Blood within us boils as our hands gently touch,
For we connect in great measure so much,
For there are no words to describe our care,
The feeling so magical like walking on air.
And Under The Moon we become one soul,
Love shines through from within us as the goal.

~ Asa.

Through our hands…

“Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‘Ego’.”  ~ Friedrich Nietzsche.

 

The Ego Dissolves

The red roses had nearly died,
The passionate youth had begun its cry,
As my heart rose with a poor beat,
As my ego had increased its bleat;
The winter was here and I immersed in pain,
Air terribly cold and full of memories the rain.
As I saw the cattle in tender embrace,
The birds in love under God’s grace,
The sky giving birth to the lovely cloud,
The currents whispering sweet care loud,
While I walked the lonely road
And depression within me flowed,
Felt I the sins of my mind,
Illusions of separation which led me blind.
You and I had grown apart,
We had neglected the pure heart,
Our pride and foolishness had won,
Ego as powerful as the loaded gun;
Our first meeting had begun red as the flower,
Then our eye deviated from the flame of all power.
Surely the one I was which buried the soul,
The one which took from us the goal;
You were the firm and steady rock,
Of this tender strength I admit I was the block.
But later my heart contemplated the truth,
Yes, Of the heart the passionate youth.
A wise lesson hidden under the painful story,
Your voice came to my mind and this was glory,
God throughout my form, the energy was intense;
The wisdom of love and the growth of character hence.
With the free flow of love The Ego Dissolves,
With the full expression of the spirit the mind evolves.

S_eparation is seen as the greatest illusion when true love exists in your life. Only the moment the ego dissolves true love appears._

 

“He who treats his woman like a princess is a living proof that the woman who raised him is a Queen.”  ~ Unknown.

 

Through our hands…
From many a travel beyond the stars,
From two passionate soul memoirs,
The energy which sizzles connection,
Profound love through our affection.

Through our hands we feel the stars so bright,
Into the cosmos the link when they hold tight;
The purest sensation of warmth and care,
The love incandescent which the souls bear.

The mysteries of Creation so vast
Meet not in the future or the past;
The present holds the secrets of All,
As our love dances in the Celestial Hall.

Through our hands the sleeper wakes into reality,
Into the horizon we gaze the heavenly totality;
The magic now overtakes us in sacred communion,
Love expands within us to make the purest union.

Everlasting…

“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”  ~ Sam Keen; author, professor and philosopher.

“Love is happy when it is able to give something.  The ego is happy when it is able to take something.”  ~ Osho; Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher.

 

All human experience is based upon true love, or the essence of love; however, the ego always wants to design opinions and interpretations, it wants to deviate the experience–i,.e., give that experience different qualities, feel, concepts, etc. And when it comes to relationships specially, the ego comes suddenly and focuses on the superficiality which has nothing to do with true love.

thr

The fact is that in any relationship, whenever you allow your attention to center on the flaws (which all human beings have) you are tied to think about those same flaws, your mind then suffers and becomes violent, and soon you create emotions which do not help but make everything worse in your life.

But when you focus on the positive behaviors or traits of the other person, then your mind frees itself from any suffering, your emotions help you experience happiness in each moment, and opportunities and life in general seem more enjoyable in all aspects.

On top of that, because you are focused on the good now, with your loving acceptance and example you pave the way for guiding yourself and the other person towards fixing those flaws or becoming better in the relationship.   This is the magic of true love.

 

Beyong the ego

Love does not exist

Within the ego’s mist.

True love is beyond opinion and want,

Beyond the selfish taunt.

It is not of this time and space,

Not even of the body and face;

True love is the essence of deep care,

Of our physical lives the same air.

                                                              ~ Asa

True love cannot exist if you judge or focus on the flaws of your partner, friend, or family member. True love is like a flame_

The hole in space.

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” ~ Buddha.

“On a cosmic scale, our life is insignificant, yet this brief period when we appear in the world is the time in which all meaningful questions arise.”  ~ Paul Ricoeur; French philosopher.

     

The hole in space

I saw the giant and revolving door
Of great cosmic energy and no floor,
Out into the stars of my own existence,
Far above the world, a great distance.
Deep into the bowels of my mind,
Beyond all the beliefs of mankind.
I left all the torture and agony,
All the self-pity and blasphemy;
I became who I was all along,
The secret hidden made me strong,
It shone and then I saw it bright,
The peace and warmth, the light.
I packed conscience and truth,
More mature I left my youth;
Now I feel peaceful and truly free,
Walking through absolute glee.

The Star Maker

The long path was dark and there was no light,
Extreme torture as my life seemed eternal night;
The long wait for a savior crippled my mind,
Ill depression had gotten my soul in a bind.
Stars they had told me shone in the sky,
But I was blind, my wings broken in twine.
Of acceptance there was no recognition,
My heart was suffering fatal perdition.

A beauty maker by craft of choice,
Once I had been an artist with poise,
Now I saw my lit tools to hell dissipate;
My mind wondered if this was fate.
It came one day as nature fed the eye,
As the wind did whistle and the bird fly;
The emotion arose as intense as it be,
The thought was veiled, the mind free.

Confusion and terror held me suddenly,
But soon I felt the moment most heavenly;
Then I saw the stars within me in their glory,
I remembered who I was and my story.
I had walked the path long before my form,
I was the fuel, the love, the peace, the warm.
I was The Star Maker and never lived in dark,
My thoughts had veiled the truth, the eternal spark.

Rainbow colors.

“In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form.  You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature.  You look beyond the veil of form and separation.  This is the realization of oneness.  This is love.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle; spiritual teacher, author, and public speaker.

 

Rainbow colors

Close your lovely eyes, look at the rainbow,
Beautiful and cosmic colors–how they grow…??
Left to right, colors of rebirth and peace,
Low to high, where all fear did cease.

The flowers bloom and the rainbow heals,
Warm sensation of nurture my body feels;
The eternal ether of love be the sensation,
Our deep love of no distance the emanation.

Through meditation the soul is free to be,
Profound love within us as vast as the sea;
For true expression is the colors in you found,
For true love in the universe is the Cosmic Sound.

You and I were buried in tender harmony,
That day of fate so wonderful in history;
The Cosmic Law was of one and the same,
Mental heights, mutual growth it became.

 

~ Asa.

The colors of the rainbow are within you
