Let’s just dance away in the night
Let‘s just dance away in the night
Light of God
I live by the Light of God.
I free myself.
From world to world I walked,
and now I‘m here. Behold, the Light
within, without, and ONE
the world. Freedom. Existence
Pure and untarnished.
Oneness.
Calm
and
Peace.
[When Love is unending]
I sing and dance in the morning,
and I sing and dance at night,
when love is unending,
I don’t need to fight.
[Poem.]
It seems that I should publish this poem:
I live by the Grace of God; and Him alone I do defend. The Silence deeply in my heart, there is no knee I have to bend, there are no bows which I should make, For I am Him. The hour late and yet unborn my Stillness lies. But, once there shall be Paradise, and I shall be its highest price, and God, and I we see – then, thrice, the Love through our eyes evade to humankind. To Love. The shade in which it flourishes. The Sun through which it grows. And once it's done, together other worlds we form and stand, all one, beyond each form, united, free, and ever-One till our Sun in us has shone and our eyes themselves do see: Just one in one, You, Him, and Me.Continue reading
I sing with you, I sing in all Creation: a song for the New Year
The following text came to me this morning to the melody of “O Holy Night” (I have included a few remarks and fragments, as I did not write all verses down in their entirety, but still wanted to post as much as possible of it.):
I sing with you, I sing in all Creation.
I sing with you. I sing in all the Light.
Love is my Heart, and Love is that what shines;
within and without, I sing for you, my heart.
I sing for you, and all within.
I sing with you. My song, it never endes.
I sing with you. It shines bright and clear:
Love is the World, and Love all Man‘festation,
for Love is the Heart of all that Ever was
and Is and shall ever be.
So be the Light. And always, always, always
just be the Light, just like the Summer sun,
for all the days, for Love, it never endes;
and once there is night, the Love the Moon has shone,
Its Light and Love the Moon has shone.
Love the Moon, the Moon
[I did not write down the following verses, which just flowed when I did not have a pen at hand.]
[and then the language changed]
[…]
Vorwärts, vorwärts, vorwärts, vorwärts,
bis die Sonne scheint.
[The latter verses, when translated into English, would be:
Forward, forward, forward, forward,
till the Sun shines.]
Later, when I had listened to the song “O Holy Night”, the following verse still came:
For Love is shining, shining ever brighter,
and / as when the sun shines brighter, brighter still,
Love is the Word, the Song that always shines,
and Love is what God‘s and All-God‘s will.
What God IS just within (Him)Self.
[I wrote “All-God” although that may not be an English word, as I did not want to interrupt the flow, which had given me the German word “All-Gott”.]
Be still, my Soul, and Wonder
Be still, my soul and wonder
only about God.
What else there is to ponder?
There is no life, but God.
There is no Love, but in the One.
There is no Peace, but that one Sun
that shines in all, in everyone
and, thus, that is eternally.
(Normally, I might not have published the poem currently, especially as I am not entijrely sure as to the ending(*). The contents is fine, but perhaps it could have come out more artfully? But I wanted the final post for this year to be a positive one, so here it is.)
(*) When around “in all”, I also wondered whether it should go on with “in everything” (“in all, in everything”?), a bit later I wondered whether, to keep the rhyme by finishing with the words “and thus is the eternal One”.
Boundless Joy
Boundless Joy.
On the Ocean of Bliss
my Heart rides out to you, Lord.
You are my comfort, my truth, and my Being.
Within you, surrounded by you
we are One.
The Ocean is endless. The Light is within,
there is naught but Truth,
and the Sky is the rim
of limitless Freedom;
for thus, I am Here:
To be Light, to be Love,
and thus, to be Free.
[The above version is what I wrote down first, although before writing it down, I imagined the third line would go rather into the direction as follows, so I wrote the following verses in order to see what would happen then (as I did not write it down immediately, I am not sure what it would have been, if I had):]
Boundless Joy.
On the Ocean of Bliss
my Heart rides out to you, Lord;
dissolving the patterns
that limit my watch.
Within me, there is Love.
Without me, there IS
the One. My Heart.
They meet.
And all
is fine. / One
in ItSelf.
[“is fine” and “One in ItSelf” are alternatives, I have not decided for now, as to which to use, so here are they both.]
Recent Posts on my German Blog (Power, Structures, Walking Your Path)
With only a few more days of the year in which I have written this left, and in the light of the assumption that there is a possibility that I might neither post here nor on my German blog for quite a while, and as I had written a while ago that I would point out articles in one language in the other, I would simply like to quickly name those recent articles on my German blog to which I have not linked here yet.
These are:
- A poetical article about the power we have, perhaps even, essentially, are and a reminder, therefore, about the power of our thougths.
- An article about (the search for) structures and their or its potential abuse (or perhaps even the erroneous interpretation of something as a structure interpreted in a certain sense)
- A poem which might help those who are marginalised by the opinions expressed most loudly and prominently in the society or environment they live in.
Hope despite all insanity
If we look through history, wondering whether the insanity of the ego1 we find expressed in wars and cruelties around the globe has receded over time, we may find that, despite all progress that has been made, it has killed more people than ever before during the 20th century, and one might not wish to say at all, that e. g. 2020 and the first part of 2021 has not been quite crazy, be it in the U.S., be it in the whole world.
On the other hand, there has been a lasting peace within many first world countries for quite a while now, so outer conditions, in some places, despite occasional outbreaks, have improved.
And yet, the ego has lingered on, working e.g. through mental and political division, fear and even, perhaps, rules and regulations that keep the outer peace in place.
True Peace, of course, is to be found within and a precondition for acheving true and lasting outer peace on the whole, too. (See the last part of my thesis for further explanations and references.)
In looking at this, what can be our perspective? Is there a reason for hope?
Each time brings with challenges also opportunities.
And I would like to think that the more “civilised” clothing ego and insanity wear at least in more modern countries, if regarded on the whole, has offered us a vaster opportunity to educate ourselves about methods how to look through the illusion and dissolve it. We have had wisdom and teachers in the past, too, and yet we can be (mostly2) unafraid today when discussing these topics with others or buying a spiritual book in the book store.
And because of modern technology and the interconnectedness around the globe, we have access to so many streams of wisdom. We have Eckhart who speaks with such clarity, we have easy access to such a lot of spiritual scriptures around the world, can e. g. download Max Müller’s huge edition “Sacred Books of the East” onto our hard disk or even speak to healers and spiritual teachers online… talk to each other and thus know that there are so many who aim for realisation, whether they live close to us or not.
If we look at that, we have a great opportunity for change, and if we use it successfully, it will weigh so much more than any insanity handed down into this time. Thousand years of darkness can end in an instant of sunlight.
(This article is based on and has been inspired by a question I replied to at https://eckharttolle.com (and by that my reply was regarded favourably upon by the one who had asked)).
Annotations
(1) I am using the term here as described in Eckhart Tolle‘s work.
(2) Fear, of course, is problematic. But e.g. when looking for a job, does HR have to be able to see prominently one’s (if we have one, I do not ; ) ) Facebook profile that one is “into” chanting Mantras in orange clothes each weekend?
Well, actually I have not been sure. I propagate openly what I believe, and yet have, for a long time, taken care that the first results you will find in Google are not directly my esoteric and spiritual beliefs and activities. So unless a potential employer really starts sifting through everything and following every lead (then he will find this bog, too), what he will see at a first glance are that I am a jurist, have published my dissertation and perhaps a link to my website offering poetry. From there, yes, he will find what is important to me. But how many of potential employers will take that time? So for me, it seems (!?) to have worked so far. It may still a certain potential risk, but one, I am willing to take. I do hope, though, that understanding for spiritual matters beyond church believes has risen in society over the last decades.
It all depends, of course, on what you want to or need to do in life. It is fine, I believe, to be careful. I would never suggest to deny your beliefs, but one does not needlessly have to tell everyone everything. I can drink beer and post it on Facebook (well, I do not), and I can drink beer without posting it. What is wiser? No need to always show what one does. In that sense: Some may still wish to check before speaking, or, of course, simply directly speak from STILLNESS or the ONE, for, then, hopefully, it will be the optimum, whatever one says. Otherwise and generally: follow your intuition?
