That is My Mind

Space
Infinite glorious spaciousness
That is my mind

That table is my mind
That war is my mind

Crashing clashing
Conflict of tortured souls
Intricate beauty
Beyond my false projection
That is my mind

Happiness
Joyful expansive reflection of light
That is my mind

Terrible contraction of space-time
Ignorance
Death urge
Panic-stricken
Desperation
Anguish
That, that is my mind

Contemplative
Gentle
Peace
Renowned enlightened expression
Deep wisdom
Truth

That is my mind

Murderous raging rampage
Sultry sensual temptress
Indignant hostile fire
Cool, cold-shouldered turning away

Pain
Stabbing heartbreak
Sorrow

Vicious attack
Incarceration
Irretrievable blow

That, that pain is my mind
That lashes out, indestructible, unrecognisable angst, hell-fire raging in the soul
Temptation to drown, to crush and to kill
That, that too is my mind

The world is my mind
No escaping totality

Responsibility
Whole and unequivocal
Rests on my solid shoulders of separate self

Requires
Desperately seeks
Desires conversion

Receives totally
In its totality

Perfectly simple
Affording perfect peace

Separate self
Alone in guilt
Whole mind
Releasing all of form

Ministry beginning
Wholeness awakening in the one that says
That, that, that is my mind

Whole Mind

Whole mind rains gently down upon me
A galaxy of sweetly falling stars

Whole mind rises through me
A sweeping rushing tide

Whole mind battles in me
Thunderous crashing power

Whole mind is simply, gently, generously
Still

Whole mind drills down through my body
Opens chasms of depth for me to fall down into
In which to find myself

Whole mind opens a vortex above my head
A spiralling joy of heavenly grace

Whole mind is a palpable field in which I find your mind
And we dance together
In glorious perfect harmony

I Am Everything

Wordless expressions of love
Experienced only

Indescribable:
Literally,
Impossible

A deep unqualified knowing
The deepest purest fullest sense
Of being known
Felt
Understood

Core nourishment
Relief
Deep deep tranquillity

Peace
Gentleness

Uttered through words unsaid
Joy
Gratefully
Naturally
Shared

Peacefulness
Peacefulness of heart

Mind
As I knew it
Rendered entirely redundant

This is mind
This communication
This indisputable sense of being found
This is Mind

This is gentleness
Grace
Perfection

Slow to judge
Quick to come to aid

Remember
You are this love
You are these fronds of noiseless union
Then
Clattering softly in midnight’s breeze
Shifting stars behind you in the crystal clarity of sky

You are this clarity of expression
Clarity of experience
Clarity of reality

You are this gentle knowing
Deep longing satisfied at last in love

You are this deep mind space
Separate entirely from tragic musings of earthly tombs

You are this noiseless communication
Gentle knowing clarity
Wholly of life

You are this peace
You are this beauty
You are this love

As I utter thanks to you
I realise the utmost absurdity
Of thanking form for truth

And the sky becomes my mind

And just for a moment
I am everything
