Pure Existence Godbeing in my own awake space,
Self-existent traveler through the quantum cosmos,
Stirred awake as I dream, I know you are real!
Please, sweeten my heart! Let devotion sing through!
So many things the world demands!
Time and space always confuse me!
Behind this veil, I know who I am—
But not just yet. Let me savor the bliss!
Hidden Dragon! Curl your tail!
Could that be love I am feeling? Temper your breath!
Silence is your disguise. I know the truth.
Devotion is my illusion. Or is it yours?
Living Love! Living Love! Romance with me!
Living Love! Living Love! Romance with me!
Living Love! Living Love! Romance with me!
The
most delicate fibers of human life stir with devotion to God. This love is
sweetness itself. Most religious groups worship this condition of the heart as
the salvation of human suffering. But look again. Peel away the outer layer of
your question and see if you are not deceiving yourself. Put the world aside
and look solely at who you are. Is there not something else going on that you
cannot know by listening to someone else or by linking your life to the
religious myths of the race?
Like
a fan dancer shielding her beauty from an unknowing gaze, your own “I exist”
core is teasing you with the glories of the finer folds of its veil. Things are
not what they seem. The real beauties of spirit are concealed behind the
gossamer conditions of a devotional life. These fine feelings are offering you
what you have always longed for, release from suffering and shelter within the
grace of an all-embracing love. This is a nice place to be. In your spiritual
search, you can stop here if you wish. Many do.
The
secrets of love, however, are revealed only when the veil of this deception is
removed. The fan dancer has been very clever in concealing her beauty and
letting you believe that her fan is the reality in which you may find solace.
But behind the veil of the fan dancer’s modesty, love’s real beauty is a
staggering revelation beyond anything our devotional heart can endure.
You
are alone in your efforts to overcome the delusions of the world. Nothing from
your worldly life can help you here. Listen for the silence instead. Do not get
confused by emotional longings for God. Devotion, sanctity and holiness are the
most deceiving qualities of the veil because they tap into beliefs that still
infest the rabble. You are the one who is real! It is you who is deliberately
deceiving yourself. May love’s absolute fire let you see. May belly-rocking
laughter set you free.
