Awakening Creates a New World-View

Identifying with Awareness Pure,
Creates a modified ‘world view’,
Not as an object, that’s for sure,
So one perceives all things anew.

When one sees things ‘as they are’,
No longer through a selfish filter,
No thing can our essence ‘jar’,
Or our appreciation of life deter.

For we’re greater than the body and mind,
An instrument of That – our true ‘being’,
Through which It can its creation ‘find’,
Experience and enjoy what it’s seeing.

This constant, conscious, perceiving presence,
The foundation of all, which we share,
Awareness our vital and fundamental essence,
So for ‘others’, as ourselves, we care.

In this there is no separation,
But we each display a unique fleeting expression,
Of Awareness a manifestation,
With different characteristics whilst ‘in session’.

In Consciousness at rest all does arise,
As in, and from, stillness all movements commence,
In This they abide, are spied and subside,
For motion reverts to stillness when energy’s spent.

Seeing all as expressions of This,
Can lead to loving all manifestation,
Lover and beloved feeling the bliss,
Of union with no possible separation.

A poem based on a chapter of 'Freedom From Anxiety and Needless Suffering'.

I write (and read) these posts, based on my meditations and contemplations, as much for my own benefit as for that of 'others'. For this helps to keep me 'awake' in this illusory, and impermanent, world ... our perception of which is based purely on our physical, and mental, configuration.
