Ah yes, the magic of human touch, Trusting to warm my soul's skin Tis nature of loves connection, as such. My body accepts, oh if you only knew Like an honored guest, I grin Anticipating the pleasures, one of the few. Skin to skin, our bodies converse. Uninhabited, my mind wander Deep inside, my craving thirsts. Artful hands sculpt with purpose Lulling layers open, you're quite the artist Soothing caress melt my body formless I'm yours, silently, I surrender. As my flesh cries out for more Arching waves of splendor Rewarded my senses sated. With newfound clarity reborn Mind, body and spirit replenished. I thank you for your gift of touch. Lovingly, I would return the favor, as such.

Lies are lies they deny you the truth. Truth is truth it denies you the lie. when examined closely both are exactly the same. They are interchangeable. People that tell the "truth" to you are denying you lies. How boring and dangerous and malevolent are people full of truth. Choose your religious truth--- Christian truth. Islamic truth. Judaic truth. Vedic Hindoo truth. Buddist truth. Capitalist truth. Socialist truth. Free market truth. Managed market truth. Monarchist truth. Democratic truth. Militarist truth. Liberal truth. Fascist truth. People that tell lies to you are denying you truthfulness. How boring and dangerous and malevolent are people full of lies. Choose your lies. Christian lies. Islamic lies. Judaic lies. Vedic Hindoo lies. Buddist lies. Capitalist lies. Socialist lies. Free market lies. Managed market lies. Monarchist lies. Democratic lies. Militarist lies. Liberal lies. Fascist lies. Truthfulness is neither truth nor lies. It exists on its own. Truthfulness is free of the Duality of Truth and Lies.. The individual Isness exists in the state of Separate and Merged with the Isness of the Universe. Permanent Mindlessness is unconditional love--just ask any Dog or Cat. The Mind separates us from the Isness of the Universe. The Mind creates Duality which is governed by Conditional Love. The individual Isness creates Unconditional Love(Consciousness) which is outside Duality. Mind cannot create Unconditional Love. The individual Isness cannot create Conditional Love. If you have Mind/Conditioned Identity in your head you cannot love Unconditionally. If you do not have Mind/Conditioned Identity then you can only love Unconditionally. If you have Mind and Conditioned Identity  you cannot be Merged with the Isness of the Universe. If you are Mindless and Conditioned Identityless you are merged with the Isness of the Universe. Conditional Love says I love you on Condition I can hate you. Unconditional Love says I will never stop loving you but I may dissapprove of your actions but I will never hate you because I cannot hate.. Conditional Love is selective--it only applies to Family and Friends and fellow GroupMind members. Unconditional Love is not selective--it applies to every living being--human or otherwise. Unconditional Love does not see people as Friends and Enemies. Unconditional Love sees people as individual Isness incarnated in bodies. Humans are deceived by the Mind into believing that the Conditioned Identity is their true Identity and deceived by the Mind into believing that they should leave the running of their brains and therefore their lives to the Mind. The individual Isness is a small but equal individual independent, nameless,formless,genderless,autonomous portion of the Isness of the Universe that people controlled by Mind are taught to call a Soul. The Soul is just another Mind created Conditioned Identity. The Atman is just another Mind created Conditioned Identity. The individual  Isness is formed from a small but equal portion of the essence of the Isness of the Universe and incarnated in a Human Body of either Gender-_male or female of any skin colour. www.beyondenlightenment.co.uk

Hello A gesture perceived as formless waves in the Web Perhaps a luring trap to be caught or a silent cry as print Scarcely Red Maybe you Reddit or Won't As text is the voice of this generation Quote ILY My fam is so cute #Hashbrowns @MyBFFFFs Last looks of a father as he leaves with a dry cleaned suit. The last breakfast I ate with my family Together. Rebuked. Now it lays archived in the mind of i A memory fragment less intact than the Colossus of Rhodes What's that? Let me Google that. What will become of the crowd The voices, in their plight are "Like wow, Laughing Out Loud" Like apathy is the new trend Can we even say there is a greater purpose of the time we Spend.

Métis, Themis, Ma’at, their banter was for naught. All the tides and tithings wisdoms and their teachings, Daemonium forgot! But the heavens cry  manna as Nix cried out reprieve! An act that loosed the flood, the chaos of her sea. Her pain arose a champion to tend to all her needs, Formed of Celestial Ocean he bore down on the freed. A giant wave of madness, thrusting mist of sadness eradicating gladness... One led the ruthless breed. Opaque in their beginning, formless shapes in twining. Conjoined but not together, accompanied the weather. Thalassa’s stringy tether wrapped them all forever. Come or go in seasons, live or die in age. No Spring to Fall in reasons, travailing of the mage? Black tentacles the streamers, rooted into wave. Witness the all-wise and snaking phantom phage... Chiron watches while he prances, his dressage on the shore. Arising liminal of beings wettened ambiguity of yore. Even Iblis is impressed, such black rotten to the core! Merkabah or egg, mountain, belly, tree they squabble. All elements do I cobble, such are actions of the wobble.

The Flood
The quieter he became ... the more he could feel only a single lit candle moved the stillness , gripping the void between lucency and obscure darkness longing eyes slipped slowly closed as the flicker faded , inner quietude dimming all light the darker it got ... the more vividly he could see a nearly silent exhaled sigh let the memories flood ; leaning into the bereft where there once was light , he became a timeless silence                               without form                      *only shaped by retracing                         re-remembered words* yearning to understand some of the greater things life unfolds experiencing the unknown                              without fear ,                       for to clinch and feel that which seems indefinable      for here , in this formless manifest dimension , all layers of essence are peeled back to the bared aurora of a soul's spirit light ; *at the core of inner stillness       nothing is impossible* ... © H A Rivers all rights reserved

It was but was not god nor  goddess. It was but was not deva nor devi. It was but was not angel nor demon. It was but was not metaphysical being of any kind. It was but had not any name nor could it be named. It was but had not any  face nor likeness. It was but had not any body or corporeal state. It was but had not any form nor lack of form. It was but not incarnate nor disincarnate. It was but was not existent nor non-existent. It was but could be described in words in any way. It was but had not depth nor height nor breadth nor volume. It was  but could not be measured in any way. It was but had not materiality of any kind. It was but had not immateriality of any kind. It was but had not space nor lack  of space. It was but had not direction nor lack  of direction. It was but had not nothingness. It was  but had not somethingness. It was but had not anythingness. It was but had not beingness. It was but not Isness or non-Isness. It was but had not light nor dark. It was but had not wetness nor dryness. It was but was not nowhere. It was but was not nowhere. It was but was not somewhere. It was but was not anywhere. It was and then It manifested the nature of Its essence and became the universe and all that was in the universe. All that was incarnate and disincarnate. All that was physical and metaphysical. All that was existent and non-existent. And still It was. It manifested Itself in ignorance of Its own nature as the Isness of the Universe, in order to participate in the existence It had created from Its own essence,on an equal and fair level with humanity. It gave of its own essence by putting a small piece of its own essence--the individual Isness-which is equal and autonomous and individual and independent--into all human bodies,both female and male,at conception. And It made humans ignorant of their nature--the  individual Isness-- as It  made itself ignorant of Its own nature. And then It set humans and Itself the Riddle of the Existence that had come from Its manifestation of its nature as the universe and all that was in it. It posed these three questions to humanity and to Itself. 1--Who am I?. 2--Why am I here?. 3--When I knowhow I am then what is my purpose?. Who am I?. Like all humans,and for the sake of fairness, It manifested Itself  into ignorance of its own nature also. The Isness of the Universe set humans the task of realising their own nature--which is the individual Isness--as an equal individual autonomous and independent part of the essence of the Isness of the Universe,so that they could then show the Isness of the Universe Its own essence and then share existence together. The principle governing Its action in creating the universe and all it contains, especially humanity,was that before you can reach the heights of existence you must go through the depths of existence. Why am I here?. Obviously I am here to answer the first question. After answering the first question --which can only be done existentially and not intellectually-- there would then be the third question to be answered. The answer to the first question lies in regaining your existential nature--the individual Isness--as a small but equal,independent, individual,nameless,formless,genderless and non-physical Isness formed from the Isness of the Universe which is free from Mind and Conditioned Identity. The answer  does  NOT lie in amassing the false knowledge of all "religions" and "political systems  that the Mind and Conditioned Identity have created in order to mislead the individual Isness from realising ,existentially,its true nature. The Isness of the Universe  did not want a world of maniputed puppets,as the Mind/Conditioned Identity,does but in order to achieve fairness in solving the Riddle of Existence,it gave humanity these attributes and the ability to live out their opposites.

I am not who I think I am— I never said I was Sometimes I’m a monster— swirling, yellowgreen skin, bristly coils of hair sticking out, strumlike underneath your fingertips— sometimes I’m a normal guy, angry and hungry with greasy-tousled greasy locks— or a subaverage woman, curvy and compassionate, warm ***** beckoning to all bereft— most often, I’m a translucent ghost, too little there yet not enough gone, genderless, formless, obsolete

Wait before you start thinking, You should wait and complete this reading, Can it not be a tool for worshiping? Inspiring idols of deities like Durgā, You feel so cared for by their motherliness, Can you otherwise visualise an imaginary God? Teachings from the idols of Saraswati, You get connected to a Goddess's wisdom, Where else you'd rather gain blessings from? Wealth from the idols of Lakshmi, You gain financial security & confidence, Or is imagining a formless promoter God easy? Cutest idols of deities like Gaņeshã, You will love a naughty deity Bãl Krshņã, Why should you not use idols for worshiping? Mature idols of deities like Šiva, You would feel them bestowing their calm, Should it not be fun visualising them? Statues are made with dedicated love, They all invite such respectful admiration, How would you ever feel the hatred? I am aware that none of these idols is God, Neither stones nor pictures can be Gods. But what bad is a peaceful polytheism? Do not please be jealous of their art, And do not hate idol worshipers. Feel confident and so peaceful, Try worshiping stone idols.

Why Idol Worshiping?
Both latter and former, contrary and congruent Neither gas nor solid, the river moves fluid. No end and no beginning, just water moving… swimming… A formless former that is a powerful latter Contradiction through symmetry and space within matter Passively energetic as potential becomes kinetic Transparently reflective and silently phonetic Thermally dynamic and fluidly frantic The waters maintain a static chaos through mathematical mechanics. Mechanically architected and architecturally mechanic Water seems the perfect medium for analysis of a dynamic. Dynamic existence and persistent resistance Statically chaotic seems the architect’s insistence. Equilibriomatic, with addition subtractive Empirical measures fail to analyze the passive. What simply is, simply is… Invincible to mimicry or microcosmic reenactment. Experimental methods seek to unify the synonymous Attempting to prove the objective with a subjective hypothesis. Learn from the water, let its metaphor be imminent…. For the divine externality lies not without, but within it.

And I wander through the canyon boulevard between the rocky cliffs and the endless riff of surf-rock echoed off skate parks and riding the PC highway hair bedraggled and snaked into next week lingering bonfire on the cotton shirt plant for plant *** for tat seed to breed Now dance, you and me.

why my existence was just one unending question? even in the formless and endless pitch black (his HP alias), could hear Him smile and communicate: if not You, then who? We love your dreams where answers run wild like an Oregon waterfall, only you understand that the whole world encapsulates into: love thy neighbor as thyself! which must be recited as a poem standing on one left leg then, smiling, god extended his only finger, touching each of mine eyelids: sleep, friend for we need your questioning dreams, your faith unfurled and unfulfilled for in your unending inquiry is all of our in the beginning, our anti-matter rooted creation, the Holy Dark

I fell in love with a ghost Upon whose grave I have committed great travesties She was silent and seemed lost And my feeble heart could not sustain her futile tragedies The tragedies of millennia past, gasping in in-articulation The suffocation of a future already always lost, without observation I fell in love with loving a ghost Who saw past my eyes into a formless ocean Limitlessly there, she sunk and she rose But alas was not of my wanting nor creation She who is of minimal infinity Taught me nought about nothing, nobody I only recognize that it was her that never wants me And I who longs achingly to be in her vicinity

lesson #1: in the beginning, all poems on Earth were formless on blended knee, the approaching, humility, raging, barely   tempered by a gale force need, the forthcoming yoga pose of compose you have urgings, mostly in a blink of an eye, then going, gone notions, the writing is so a losing effort, you turn the paper’s aperture sideways hoping to get an inside straight insight, but the poem refuses to come, the creation ****** delayed is torturous and the poem birthing, even worse so you revert to basics to give the formless a shape, recalling  a child’s learning that in the beginning: “the earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.…” so you insert a single sheet of 20Lb bond paper, sliding the typewriters carriage smooth swift   over to the starting gate hell’s bell, typewriter machine smell erotically exciting creative fluids boiling, typing, laughing out loud, forming entree to the hinted hallway of a womb opening to a crafting with three words:                                in the beginning

write learning lesson #1: in the beginning, all poems on Earth were formless
Lo! ’tis a gala night Within the lonesome latter years! An angel throng, bewinged, bedight In veils, and drowned in tears, Sit in a theatre, to see A play of hopes and fears, While the orchestra breathes fitfully The music of the spheres. Mimes, in the form of God on high, Mutter and mumble low, And hither and thither fly— Mere puppets they, who come and go At bidding of vast formless things That shift the scenery to and fro, Flapping from out their Condor wings Invisible Wo! That motley drama—oh, be sure It shall not be forgot! With its Phantom chased for evermore, By a crowd that seize it not, Through a circle that ever returneth in To the self-same spot, And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot. But see, amid the mimic rout A crawling shape intrude! A blood-red thing that writhes from out The scenic solitude! It writhes!—it writhes!—with mortal pangs The mimes become its food, And the angels sob at vermin fangs In human gore imbued. Out—out are the lights—out all! And, over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, And the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, “Man,” And its hero the Conqueror Worm.

The Conqueror Worm
Through long nursery nights he stood By my bed unwearying, Loomed gigantic, formless, queer, Purring in my haunted ear That same hideous nightmare thing, Talking, as he lapped my blood, In a voice cruel and flat, Saying for ever, "Cat! ... Cat! ... Cat!..." That one word was all he said, That one word through all my sleep, In monotonous mock despair. Nonsense may be light as air, But there's Nonsense that can keep Horror bristling round the head, When a voice cruel and flat Says for ever, "Cat! ... Cat! ... Cat!..." He had faded, he was gone Years ago with Nursery Land, When he leapt on me again From the clank of a night train, Overpowered me foot and head, Lapped my blood, while on and on The old voice cruel and flat Says for ever, "Cat! ... Cat! ... Cat!..." Morphia drowsed, again I lay In a crater by High Wood: He was there with straddling legs, Staring eyes as big as eggs, Purring as he lapped my blood, His black bulk darkening the day, With a voice cruel and flat, "Cat! ... Cat! ... Cat! ... Cat!..." he said, "Cat! ... Cat!..." When I'm shot through heart and head, And there's no choice but to die, The last word I'll hear, no doubt, Won't be "Charge!" or "Bomb them out!" Nor the stretcher-bearer's cry, "Let that body be, he's dead!" But a voice cruel and flat Saying for ever, "Cat! ... Cat! ... Cat!"

A Child's Nightmare
Indian Legends. The Legend of Triambakeshwar The supreme Lords, Brahma and Vishnu On that auspicious day were fighting for the highest milestone For honour Claiming Wisdom Voicing out their mighty combat impale At that very moment, a resplendant pillar Emerged, took form before them Standing tall into the skies and stooping low spearing the Earth. Brahma and Vishnu saw the pillar As an examiner of infinite Wisdom They both decided to find either end of the pillar to prove their supreme position.

As the Legend holds.
Indian Legends. The Legend of Triambakeshwar The supreme Lords, Brahma and Vishnu On that auspicious day were fighting for the highest milestone For honour Claiming Wisdom Voicing out their mighty combat impale At that very moment, a resplendant pillar Emerged, took form before them Standing tall into the skies and stooping low spearing the Earth. Brahma and Vishnu saw the pillar As an examiner of infinite Wisdom They both decided to find either end of the pillar to prove their supreme position. Brahma took form of a swan to find the topmost portion of the pillar Vishnu turns into a Boar, being the land's wild driller to discover the bottom part of this pillar. Brahma returns and lies to Vishnu "I Have Found My Goal, 'O Vishnu" Lord Vishnu surrenders with a humble heart A fruitless effortless failure.

journey to the source pt. 10
how is it that i feel this strange way, even though i choose to ignore it, to brush it aside like noise coming from a construction site. what is this uneasiness, the shaking of my body at the hands of winter? do i simply choose to ignore it because i consider it insignificant or is it simply that am not brave enough to face the consequences of such thoughts? these thoughts that are harder to understand than reaching the reefs of the sea. i occasionally let the sun burn my skin, and let the rain drench my body hoping i would find answers in suffering, but all it has taught me is too wiser in taking decisions, as i am confronted with a cold later. how is it that we could be like liquid, formless and shapeless, sinking deeper and understanding every molecule of our existence? how is it that we align ourselves with the secrets we hold that we ourselves, are not even aware of? maybe we have always been like this, forbidden from knowing some parts about ourselves. yet we think we know the world more, when the secrets within us are lost in the dunes of the desert. this desert doesn’t really have an oasis, because the water dried up a long time ago, when humans didn’t even begin to question themselves. to be like liquid now, to be free and yet know our deepest selves, maybe all we need is a little rain in this desert? but the coast is far, and the winds only carry sand silt. i wonder if this is how a civilization dies.
