Results that are
attained
by ritual ordained
are not easily
explained,
by miracles
perhaps
as sensibilities
collapse
and vertigo
entraps.
What vision
comprehends
the inner mind
amends
and consciousness
suspends.
Then with fresh
intent
awareness does
present
a non-linear event
whose
possibilities create
formulations to
mutate
inside an altered
state.
So what had once
been true
becomes just
residue
reality which acts
as motion that
impacts
to solidify
abstracts.
And with this
substance brought
an imagery is
caught
and so a change is
wrought.

And a man said, Speak to us of Self Knowledge.
And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days
and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's
knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have
always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body
of your dreams.
And it is well you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs
rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be
revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown
treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with
staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.
Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I
have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the
path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul
walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it
grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a
lotus of countless petals.
