The Absolute – Awareness and More

Awareness is Consciousness when still,
The Essential Absolute Reality,
But just as water does the ocean fill,
This doesn’t constitute its totality.

Of the ocean water is the base,
But there are myriad other additional factors,
Dissolved salt is a point in case,
Whilst fish and whales are among the ‘actors’.

The Absolute also contains many a component,
A multitude of things that within it come and go,
Such as energy, both dark and apparent,
The latter constitutes the universal object ‘flow’.

Manifestation is this energy, Consciousness in motion,
Ephemeral movements in That at rest,
Just like life-forms arising and subsiding in the ocean,
All ‘things’ come and go in Awareness.

Consciousness with universal love is pervaded,
For love is both attraction and ‘no separation’,
And in The Absolute Its creation is ‘paraded’,
Of the same essence, still and in manifestation.

For perception of any ‘thing’ there to be,
There are two principles in mind to bear,
Awareness by which we can it sense or see.
And ‘nothingness’ to which it does compare.

This Aware Nothingness includes all that is,
But like currents, waves and ‘things’ in the ocean,
These are fleeting, and thus not properties,
Of The Absolute – the origin and end of all motion.
