Our entire Western culture –
brilliant as it may be (sarcasm intended)
is founded upon the mistaken
assumption that our conscious
awareness starts and ends within
the confines of our bodies.

Everything we think and do
is but an extention of this
unfortunate false belief.
Praise God said the poet
Whose oneness knows no before
Nor after – unless ’tis He.

Give value to … above all else …
Worthy of our praise: Consciousness.
How long can we sit, looking down upon
The truest of wisdom of the ages?
Who is the ” I ” behind the observer,
the holy thinker, the infinite “Us”?

Point of view, they query,
Is One only – undefiled and true –
Knower and Known, Awareness
Not trapped inside the carnal.
But free within the parameters
Of the Eternal Now.
