Nothing so far has worked.
Shall we go within, you and I?
It's an intriguing place, within.
Somewhere we rarely visit.
Let's look at this wonderful Earth
with new eyes, free of
the surly bonds of war
and polarization, ignoring man-made
boundaries, purely from within
the pulse of our unbounded selves
and be aware, really see,
the preciousness of all life,
the wonders and gifts
of rivers and land,
mountains and trees,
all forms of wildlife,
humanity...
with our inner sight,
we gently sense the Awake mind,
we see the life force,
the entire body of that life force
...resonating...glowing...
from this cradle called Earth,
with its wellspring of
infinite energy
we perceive thoughts of
our own individuality and see
that these are sparked
by the silent, pure Mind,
the life consciousness within
we rise, with joy, with freedom,
into this vast ocean of
boundless pure consciousness
which is fathomless,
silent, infinite
and in the depth of this pure
consciousness, with this
inner sight, we see that every
creature, every person, is
uniquely beautiful,
illuminated by the light of
this same Sun,
The One Conscious Mind,
of which we are all
a part
we sink more deeply into this
silent awareness and sense that
it is omnipresent, and we soar
on the wings of this Infinite
Mind, entirely free...
and we can see the whole
of creation emanating, resonating,
phasing from the light of
Pure Consciousness,
which manifests Earth, space,
air...and us
and as the heart of this great Mind
wakens within us, we sense
the unconditional love of the Divine,
and we see Earth, indeed ourselves,
as a palpable manifestation
of this eternal love
rising on wings of this Pure Mind
way, way above mountains
into the sky, we gaze back upon
this beautiful, blue planet
shining in a sea of
unbounded Being, and we see
that she is Awake, alive with
all the glorious possibilities of
the Universe
looking past Earth into stretches
of starry, galactic space, we
see that this perfect pulse of
the Unbounded Mind has
manifested the wonder
and fullness of a vast cosmos,
stretching forever without
end or beginning, and all of
this is alive and Awake
as well
and with this inner sight,
in the silence,
we begin to perceive that each
created thing is a perfect
astral light from which it becomes
solidified, resonating from
the finest, purest celestial to
the fully physical form of
differentiated life, and from
that astral intelligent life
comes the magnetic field,
electricity, subatomic particles,
atoms, molecules, matter,
space, our own beings
and within each created object
the perfect tone, sweetly
harmonic, resonating, each tone
pure, each tone unique, each thing
imbued with all tones, all thoughts,
all knowledge, and so even
a blade of grass is
a doorway to the Infinite
Being, the Unbounded Mind.
as we gaze upon her with
this inner sight, let us
decide that Earth be
made whole, her burden lifted,
so that we honor the potential
in each created being, each soul,
and determine that we
will all, to the last person, be
awakened, enlightened.
let there be joy once again!
the perfect light of peace and
knowledge!
where suffering lingers, let
our common humanity work
to provide healing and peace.
let us see, finally, that
the answers are not "out there"
or "up there"
but within our own inner
light, which is part and parcel
of the abundant Whole.
and all we have to do
is go inward and connect with
that perfect energy...
and each other...and
make it so
