Book poem · 01
Don’t give me your thoughts, they are old and stale I want your freshness, the un-thought creativity of playfulness I want the newness and innocence of your innermost Knowledge is rigid and tense, I want your magic! I don’t need your past or future, all I want is NOW! Allow a fearless love affair with life to take you over Surrender the idea of YOU, and let life shine as YOU I love you forever. Now, let’s meet again. Fresh!

Book poem · 02
And let God hold you Relax all tension And let your soul kiss the sky Floating, drifting, dancing You are loved This and all moments forever Held so safely You are the peace And a warm embrace Of truth and compassion Untouched and forever complete No doing or desire No lack or need Just this Love

Book poem · 03
Don’t rush Don’t push Don’t force anything You are the silence The deepest listening Before any labeling Marinade here In the land before thought And let only truth arise Silence is no discomfort Silence is the truest language Silence is no lack Silence is your fullness Feel and be Your essence And when suffering and pain enters your perception Know that you are untouched You are complete You are before all that ever is

About these writings
These writings were taken down intuitively over roughly a year and a half, from 2013 to 2014. They begin in a period shaped by a powerful superego and deep depression, then gradually open into lightness, freedom, and bliss.
The final dissolving of the density of an “I”-centre happened later, in November 2014, beyond the last entries gathered here. Since the end of 2014, the experience of awareness has remained steady and consistent, while the content of experience has continued to change.
