Your touch sparked waves that danced for eternity Living, breathing, loving waves I feel you in the lining of my chalice Filling me up Until there is no more separation between you and I Floating in love It is so easy So easy To simply let go And float away To somewhere beyond That is deep within There's so much love in the world In the stillness it builds _______________________________________________________ I am Ra. I greet you in the love and the light of the Infinite Creator. I communicate now.

The stories you told us were lost in our heads We tried so hard not to worship the dead You drove home the point with the back of your hand He sent us his love from a faraway land You laid down the law, yeah the law of the land Why is there life? I just don't understand

Samadhi by Paramahansa Yogananda Vanished are the veils of light and shade, Lifted the vapors of sorrow, Sailed away the dawn of fleeting joy, Gone the mirage of the senses. Love, hate, health, disease, life and death - Departed, these false shadows on the screen of duality. Waves of laughter, scyllas of sarcasm, whirlpools of melancholy, Melting in the vast sea of bliss. Bestilled is the storm of maya By the magic wand of intuition deep. The universe, a forgotten dream, lurks subconsciously, Ready to invade my newly wakened memory divine. I exist without the cosmic shadow, But it could not live bereft of me; As the sea exists without the waves, But they breathe not without the sea. Dreams, wakings, states of deep turiya sleep, Present, past, future, no more for me, But the ever-present, all-flowing, I, I everywhere. Consciously enjoyable, Beyond the imagination of all expectancy, Is this, my samadhi state. Planets, stars, stardust, earth, Volcanic bursts of doomsday cataclysms, Creation’s moulding furnace, Glaciers of silent X-rays, Burning floods of electrons, Thoughts of all men, past, present, future, Every blade of grass, myself and all, Each particle of creation’s dust, Anger, greed, good, bad, salvation, lust, I swallowed up – transmuted them Into one vast ocean of blood of my own one Being! Smoldering joy, oft-puffed by unceasing meditation, Which blinded my tearful eyes, Burst into eternal flames of bliss, And consumed my tears, my peace, my frame, my all. Thou art I, I am Thou, Knowing, Knower, Known, as One! One tranquilled, unbroken thrill of eternal, living, ever-new peace! Not an unconscious state Or mental chloroform without willful return, Samadhi but extends my realm of consciousness Beyond the limits of my mortal frame To the boundaries of eternity, Where I, the Cosmic Sea, Watch the little ego floating in Me. Not a sparrow, nor a grain of sand, falls without my sight All space floats like an iceberg in my mental sea. I am the Colossal Container of all things made! By deeper, longer, continuous, thirsty, guru – given meditation, This celestial samadhi is attained. All the mobile murmurs of atoms are heard; The dark earth, mountains, seas are molten liquid! This flowing sea changes into vapors of nebulae! Aum blows o’er the vapors; they open their veils, Revealing a sea of shining electrons, Till, at the last sound of the cosmic drum, Grosser light vanishes into eternal rays Of all-pervading Cosmic Joy. From Joy we come, For Joy we live, In the sacred Joy we melt. I, the ocean of mind, drink all creation’s waves. The four veils of solid, liquid, vapor, light, Lift aright. Myself, in everything, Enters the Great Myself. Gone forever, The fitful, flickering shadows of a mortal memory. Spotless is my mental sky, Below, ahead, and high above. Eternity and I, one united ray. I, a tiny bubble of laughter, Have become the Sea of Mirth Itself.

It's the oil in my heart that makes it start It's the grease in my brain that keeps me sane Living in the land of a thousand tomorrows I am a plant, watch me grow Quick, kill me before I die Everyday reality changes Yet it all stays the same There's nothing to do Other than to let go of everything And embrace all that is Perfect peace True freedom It is all right HERE I gotta be aware! Conscious. Awake. Present. Actually, I don't gotta be anything... I just gotta embrace Open awareness It's so much more beautiful than I could ever grasp with my mind alone So much more beautiful Our sameness with those who have passed doesn't have to be scary The reminder can keep us humble, And grateful, And in awe at the moment we get to experience Sleep is practice for death Death is life Life is death Amen
