LOVE ALL-KNOWING
Highly Abridged Remix Version

Thoroughly, at age twenty-six my world inverted upside down
while coming to understand things beyond any noun
commonly held beliefs about what life is about
shattered, not leaving a speck of doubt
nearly a whole decade has now passed before these eyes
since to the old me I had abruptly said goodbye
it couldn't be helped—spontaneously it happened
in four fervent days "The Truths of Life" was penned
afterwards distancing myself from many a childhood friend
with no way to explain as a holy writing I would send
unable to elucidate then, but the tide is now high
so let us turn back a few pages to before that fateful July
throughout youthful adolescent days, carrying the conundrum
of having nothing to say, while not knowing why or how come
just sitting there, like I was dumb, while friends chatted away
eduringly, the interest was participatory sport and creative play
still, not minding in the least the conclusion or final score
the joy was in the moment, experiencing life with vigor
the early adult years came round and little had changed
how can a profession be chosen when thought is estranged?
ripe and ready—an unwitting empty vessel
lost and purposeless, Spirit would soon come to quell
loving to serve but having no clue what to do with my life
most chase after a high paying job and a wife
schooling and careers at no time distinctly intriguing me
it's vividly clear now that they were never my destiny
presently it's overt that who I am in this life is a continuation
of my previous life that elapsed while rapt in meditation
karmically, into my life a couple of spiritual books appeared
towards higher consciousness I was being steered
books containing things I'd never in this life heard before
of Oneness, Allness and Awareness evermore
wondering, "where has this information always been?"
it's no wonder when we're engrossed in society's machine
ideas of what to pray for were intuited first
sat mutely repeating them—I was immersed
meditative prayer for the first time ever
the prayers came to fruition and changed me forever
"please use me for the highest good of All"
one of the wishes to the Lord did I call
days go by and synchronicities start happening
they keep building and building due to consenting
the revealed prayers were first, followed by further insights
the occurrences gaining in rapidity as I surrendered to the Light
bombarded with innumerable revelations and epiphanies
so very many raining down like confetti
jotting with pencil as fast as possible
out of Silence they came, not from a brain cell
full-blown understandings as fireworks exploding
the whole process was nothing short of mind-blowing
intense meditative surrender to a higher Will
an inadvertent piercing of the mystical veil
as the separation between the knower and known faded
everything became clear what was formerly shaded
the mind wholly turned in on itself as Self-Awareness
stripped of all conceptual thought in total bareness
untainted, spotless, Eternal Radiant Mind
exhaustively beyond words, it can't be defined
the futility of descriptions not lending a grain of justice
what appears is but a vain attempt to be clear and concise
for less than a minute "I am the Christ" was the experience
blasphemy, no—don't you sense its ever-presence?
'twas the Biblical phrase of John 14:20 come true
"…know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you"
did he or did he not proclaim while mincing no words
you'll do greater than he and "you are the light of the world"?
when we were taught "God is within," it was no joke
people reject it—the ordinary thought-mind acts as a cloak
be still and know that you are God, no?
no mere hollow phrase committed to scripture long ago
God is not a concept that can be thought of in a mental way
It is experienced in-depth when thought is cast away
Buddha eschewed the word "God" for a very simple reason
people conjure up false images that should not be believed in
laboring in a retail shop while undergoing religious ecstasy
physical faculties all but ceased in this Divine Intimacy
taking in physical phenomena by means of the ears
was nearly impossible even though face-to-face with a cashier
the material world eclipsed by a formless intangible Beatitude
behind the gross visible universe the Silent Mind preludes
exquisite rock-solid Infinite Love as my true nature
far surpassing human sensory experience while ineffably pure
absolute completion and utter finality just as Lao Tzu
overcome yourself and there's nothing left to do
inner permission arose to leave the body and world
either surrendered also, or turned down—away it whirled
if the option had been chosen it would have wrought
a body lying dead in a grocery store parking lot
the autopsy would've revealed nothing despite picking apart
with the exception of perhaps an overworked heart
at the core of my being "I'm going to die!" sprung up too
this edge of Enlightenment I failed to follow through
this wasn't bodily death, but the crux of my soul
a final loss of separateness merging into the Whole
my very essence being extinguished caused some distress
felt as though a drop into a void of complete nothingness
"can't now, I'm at work, I'll do it later"
the option thus refused—the ego is a traitor
new on the spiritual path, I wasn't aware of the occurrence
a scarce teaching in great need of repeated reappearance
death of the individual ego self so extremely rare
brought on by a "please make me exactly as you are" prayer
also invocating, "spread to All your Love through me"
the various prayers listed here are prayers of nonduality
with a friend later that evening, walking down the mall
experiencing indescribable bliss and oneness with all
everyone and everything a fluid living sea
Universal Consciousness as both you and me
being in rapturous love with all life and every person
but this wasn't maintained and things were about to worsen
ego crept back in believing it was Enlightened
it turns out consciousness only temporarily heightened
a momentary samadhi can sometimes deceive
if untold by a Master because our mind is naïve
ask enlightenment teachers today about their ego death
don't even need to for their answer we can already guess
are they right this moment experiencing Allness?
the spiritual ego is crafty and teaches regardless
their words proceeding from the intellect, Power is lacking
a Divine Transference is required to send the ego packing
if inspiration hits by all means share
but state your current un-State or others you'll ensnare
True Teachings are on a whole different level
a powerful quieting effect, they silence the mental
despite the path all are led Home in time
following an alternative pathway is certainly no crime
Krishna, Buddha, Allah or Zohar Kabbalah
devoted nonviolently, one is led to Nirvana
pathway of the mind or pathway of the heart
they lead to the same Place so long as you start
being attached to any one philosophy or religion
dwelling on moot differences and wanting to fit in
Hindu Sages, Zen Masters or Christian Mystics
many tongues, but identical truth spoken from their lips
calling themselves admirers of all paths, and yet none
even though they may have begun as a monk or a nun
mentioning Self or no-self or God is Father or Mother
according to their culture emphasizing one method or another
allness vs. nothingness, meditation vs. prayer
devotion in practice is all you should care
when Truth reveals itself you're beyond all conception
then not a single man-made word will hold any traction
Jesus grew up Jewish but transcended the religion
the Truth within lays to waste the scriptures of an eon
verbalization with language is so hard-wired
people rarely question it, though it's spiritually required
what every Sage has taught has always been drastic
highly divergent from the emphasizing of the scholastic
Moses confessed to being a man of poor speech
there are stories of illiterate monks outside the mind's reach
having little to no education and still they surpass
while the worldly learned treat them as third class
contrary to what schools, institutions and the media advise
accumulating knowledge doesn't earn one the ultimate prize
maybe helping one succeed on the physical field
never transcending it though, as Reality stays concealed
make no bones about it—dying to God is involved
if not ready for this step then observe truths lesser evolved
various truths for various levels of understanding
concepts destroy concepts until there's No-Thing
what's truth at one level is obsolete at another
until finally there's nothing at all left to retire
below Absolute, truths are at stages permissible
ultimately, "internal" and "external" are void and null
nothing means anything, words are just words
every last notion, let it go to the birds
in due time when flesh and bone turns to dust
all our worldly learning gone in a gust
no fear of death, we're neither mind nor body
if it lives or dies is the concern of nobody
to be, or to be, there is no question
not possible to die—you're not your mother's son
consciousness goes on, takes a new body
get off the wheel, go read some Patanjali
what goes to "heaven" between bodies is the sense of selfhood
sloughing off selfhood itself takes one beyond being good
there is one thing for certain, let me tell you
once you hear of Enlightenment, nothing else will do
it'll always be there, in the back of your mind stirring
no matter where you go or what you do, awaiting answering
the bug has bitten and the bite will continue to itch
until addressed with love and oneself is ditched
all men are called, yet so few choose to follow
the narrow inward path of the pathless Tao
returning to the Source from whence we came
eventually, along life's course it becomes the singular aim
to each his own, but with time, you'll see it Truth's way
a glimpse of Light reveals the world as a fanciful divine play
Oneness experienced once renders all else in the dust
returning to it again, for good, becomes life's must
one's personal life right then is more or less done
context shifts as love extends to all humanity under the sun
if it's true that God's nature is Love All-Knowing
it only makes sense to rest in the arms of His bestowing
we are Knowledge Itself from here to eternity
all-knowing understanding intuitively and tacitly
all-knowing not regarding trivial worldly matters
but Truth that renders those trivialities in tatters
you are as infinitely wise as your wish to be
how else could a simple grocery clerk bring this poem to be?
understand the ego's fabrications and set yourself free
hold not onto its personal narrative story
you watch the heart and lungs on their own beat and breathe
so too the mind's thinkingness an automaton to perceive
one brief moment of trying meditation
while attempting to hold all notions in suspension
quite quickly it's seen that thoughts happen automatically
therefore, the mind is not, and never has been "me"
an erroneous identification due to our insistence
masking, obstructing and limiting Divine effulgence
tell the mind to be quiet—it doesn't listen
perhaps for a moment, then up it starts again
just look at the mind, flopping and flailing about
trying to get ahold of anything so Silence is forced out
memories, opinions, dreamings and rehashings
blah blah blah regarding worldly stuff and things
just running its installed software
whether it is truth it doesn't care
could be malware, a game or an antivirus program
nevertheless, it'll often be executed with zero qualm
the ego's primary concern is its own survival
the words of the Sage bring about its upheaval
it mistakenly believes Silence is bland and awful
in terms of Infinite Being the ego is stage larval
nothing we've ever done has been our own doing
identification with the body is a false viewing
body's actions a result of mind's movings
"there is no doer" every Enlightened Being sings
he did nothing of himself, Jesus explained
from doing, Hindu and Buddhist Masters also refrained
all things take care of themselves
get out of the way and the Earth still revolves
if and when the body is spurned to action
silently witness while abiding in inaction
we are the still, unmoving Silent Observer
Infinite Pure Awareness all over and forever
be the quiet watcher of it—a field of Awareness
staying aware of the Self-Awareness we must skillfully finesse
you are aware of existing—that is the I
it is that Truth alone that we should rely
not "I" as the body but as the sense of existing
meditated on, it's discovered to not be a physical thing
this practice of self-inquiry reveals the Absolute
discarding all lesser things for the most worthwhile pursuit
what we've done up to this point has led us to where we are
yet feeling as though something is still lacking so far
that deep underlying sense that something is away
an incompleteness calling us Home from which we've strayed
as opposed to searching outwardly to fill that inner void
have a heart of perfect completion, absolute and overjoyed
what's missing is not to be found in the world outside
it's God within as one's own Self, so as it reside
every last philosophy speaks of living morally sound
not just because it's civil—to stay karmically unbound
to what's true we adhere and to the false we abstain
benefits all others and lessens our own pain
adopting truth for truth's sake and to reach the other shore
exiling from oneself all forms of indecent behavior
the law of karma: you reap what you sow
religions of East and West have all said so
chaos, luck, random events and accidents
"no such thing" is a Mystic's two cents
the world needs to be viewed not as being physical
but as interconnected energies interacting at a higher level
everything has an equal and similar reaction
mind, body and tongue leading the direction
an eye for an eye is basically what ends up happening
not that specifically though—it might result in a jailing
cheat on your taxes and your wallet could be stolen
no deception goes unnoticed and we promptly remain owing
one way or another it'll eventually catch up
there is no escaping or dishonestly getting a leg up
even in our own private life, we can't just do as we please
every decision, action and behavior the law of karma sees
a slight slight will later bring to pass a minor after-effect
lower natured negativity engenders the world to so counteract
the unaware bear a lesser fruit by executing the same action
as one who knows fully that they are committing an infraction
levels of consciousness dictate the karmic resultant severity
awareness + action = karma in that general realm of negativity
repeated depravities can accumulate and respond all at once
a colossal undoing of fortunes in place of many an ounce
karma is easy to recognize when we say, think and do less
connecting our prior doings with the results that coalesce
living a life of much fuss and ado
a whole lot of mess will soon be rebounding to you
alter your entire life outlook and various attitudes
then life treats you afresh in accord with your new moods
everything is Consciousness, even the inanimate
our life is fully a manifestation of mindset
the act of observing collapses the wave function
from potential to actual—viewing sets a particle's position
particles blink in and out of existence based on an observer
the famed double-slit experiment will make many a believer
Consciousness is primary while matter is secondary
living our lives as if it were the contrary
physical reality a holographic illusion
science says so—that's its conclusion
the new science is within and is up to you
a simple experiment with loving prayer will do
always experimenting with my own life
tested this teaching and with truth it's rife
look back at your life's recurring patterns and themes
and the façade of the ego will start to crack at the seams
untranscended mindsets follow wherever we go
the common denominator is what your mind has sown
all is just and in automatic karmic balance
in this universe nothing is ever up to chance
that person we killed in our last life
a debt to repay—accept it without strife
much of man's history has been war and atrocity
these deeds revisit and no one goes scot-free
despite horrible violence all is in harmony
all the world's a stage in this divine comedy
in a specific place in the world a person is born
karmically inherited parents as you return
it's all karma, all the time
individually and collectively—of his, yours and mine
in totality Divine Justice is unerringly precise
unfolding spontaneously as an automatic device
there is no punitive god doling out reward and punishment
according to our nature, a magnetically attracted fulfilment
all acts are unacted acts of God
involuntary, nonvolitional, uncaused
life is occurring by Divine Providence and Grace
manifesting from the Unmanifested outside time and space
asking "how can God let awful things happen?"
between karma and reincarnation there's no more to pen
the question stems from believing He is a separate entity
as opposed to understanding It is Everything Endlessly
life is perfectly fair, but not according to separative views
unknowingly, destinies are self-created as we choose
this tells of the negative but applies uniformly to the positive
live as selfless peace and we'll earn what we deserve
that which supports life is automatically supported
the get-gain-obtain mentality can be safely aborted
by being love we will always receive what we need
sacrificing oneself isn't even a sacrificial deed
deep reflection reveals the illusion of foes
and oneness of all who are in life's throes
as it's all a mirage and the corporeal we are not
the world is harmless in spite of what we had thought
"bad" things only happen if one's karma calls for it
so what then is left to be feared here on this planet?
matters not what we do, but rather what we are
love radiates in consciousness infinitely far
there is no distance from here to there
all is connected and love touches everywhere
during all the body's doings be Peaceful Love
it changes the world in ways you can't even think of
uplifting all mankind while living in a cave
emanating Divinity in a constant cosmic shockwave
I've prayerfully directed love to many a specific issue
time and time again the results show all this to be true
evolving in love and consciousness is the greatest gift
it contributes to an entire worldwide spiritual shift
aside from work, living the life of a hermit or recluse
views of the people no longer mine since they were cut loose
being in public amongst the common ways of men
their ignorance urges me to surrender "mine" right then
everything that happens is a call to awaken
the point is to cognize it, and to spiritually quicken
contemplation is the process of withdrawing from thoughts
at all times, and not just when our legs are in knots
fast paced physical labor done with a meditative command
full-on focus and concentration towards the task at hand
the athletic speed and skill is probably shocking to some
yet happening effortlessly while into Zen-Mind I blossom
it's no coincidence that this body fell into this job
everyone's in their karmic place—don't be a snooty snob
menial jobs are perfectly honorable and upstanding
there's nothing degrading about serving and providing
there has to be someone to stock shelves and clean the toilet
or else there's no food to buy and you wouldn't care to sit
now, speaking about myself is not to brag or boast
but to reveal what it takes to near the Holy Ghost
there was a desire to keep this verse primarily anonymous
but apparently that was the ego being over-presumptuous
aspects of this personality are being urged to be divulged
in the interest of the All so that our limitations can be culled
the opening sequence, largely expanded from the first draft
things never before talked of now printed unabashed
saying Christhood was experienced, albeit only briefly
was shared quite hesitantly, but it was the Will of He
if I didn't actually experience God, I'm sure gonna go to hell
for saying that I did as my adored readers I tell
in ordinary life I rarely give rise to past inventory
what's there to say when it's all an egoic story?
while people go on chatting about a million and one things
I mostly sit and observe with ascended understandings
as they bring up the topic of death and of a person dying
I listen quietly while often accidentally smiling
at the absurdity of anybody ever believing in death
I don't mean to be insensitive towards a body's last breath
after years, to my co-workers I'm still a mystery
how can this be talked of in a lunchroom and in a hurry?
blurting out "this world is an unreal illusion"
leads people to think you've got a brain contusion
when speaking spiritual truth it must be kept in context
"there is no doer" will only leave them perplexed
and if something profound were mentioned aloud
they'd be struck with fear of not being among their crowd
the paradigm shock has them pretend that nothing was heard
true, truth threatens the ego, but being afraid of love is absurd
so instead we live by example and let Grace sort things out
we'll all return Home after ages or eons, no doubt
it's hoped that a devotional pyre is now blazing within
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the idea we're made of skin
this rhyme is over and not a moment too soon
synonyms have run dry and the body needs the washroom
Enlightenment is achieved amidst a life mundane
no matter the season of sunshine, snow or rain
all there is to know is that everything is I
Glory to God in the most high!

yet feeling as though something is still lacking so far
that deep underlying sense that something is away
an incompleteness calling us Home from which we've strayed
as opposed to searching outwardly to fill that inner void
have a heart of perfect completion, absolute and overjoyed
what's missing is not to be found in the world outside
it's God within as one's own Self, so as it reside
every last philosophy speaks of living morally sound
not just because it's civil—to stay karmically unbound
to what's true we adhere and to the false we abstain
benefits all others and lessens our own pain
adopting truth for truth's sake and to reach the other shore
exiling from oneself all forms of indecent behavior
the law of karma: you reap what you sow
religions of East and West have all said so
chaos, luck, random events and accidents
"no such thing" is a Mystic's two cents
the world needs to be viewed not as being physical
but as interconnected energies interacting at a higher level
everything has an equal and similar reaction
mind, body and tongue leading the direction
an eye for an eye is basically what ends up happening
not that specifically though—it might result in a jailing
cheat on your taxes and your wallet could be stolen
no deception goes unnoticed and we promptly remain owing
one way or another it'll eventually catch up
there is no escaping or dishonestly getting a leg up
even in our own private life, we can't just do as we please
every decision, action and behavior the law of karma sees
a slight slight will later bring to pass a minor after-effect
lower natured negativity engenders the world to so counteract
the unaware bear a lesser fruit by executing the same action
as one who knows fully that they are committing an infraction
levels of consciousness dictate the karmic resultant severity
awareness + action = karma in that general realm of negativity
repeated depravities can accumulate and respond all at once
a colossal undoing of fortunes in place of many an ounce
karma is easy to recognize when we say, think and do less
connecting our prior doings with the results that coalesce
living a life of much fuss and ado
a whole lot of mess will soon be rebounding to you
alter your entire life outlook and various attitudes
then life treats you afresh in accord with your new moods
everything is Consciousness, even the inanimate
our life is fully a manifestation of mindset
the act of observing collapses the wave function
from potential to actual—viewing sets a particle's position
particles blink in and out of existence based on an observer
the famed double-slit experiment will make many a believer
Consciousness is primary while matter is secondary
living our lives as if it were the contrary
physical reality a holographic illusion
science says so—that's its conclusion
the new science is within and is up to you
a simple experiment with loving prayer will do
always experimenting with my own life
tested this teaching and with truth it's rife
look back at your life's recurring patterns and themes
and the façade of the ego will start to crack at the seams
untranscended mindsets follow wherever we go
the common denominator is what your mind has sown
all is just and in automatic karmic balance
in this universe nothing is ever up to chance
that person we killed in our last life
a debt to repay—accept it without strife
much of man's history has been war and atrocity
these deeds revisit and no one goes scot-free
despite horrible violence all is in harmony
all the world's a stage in this divine comedy
in a specific place in the world a person is born
karmically inherited parents as you return
it's all karma, all the time
individually and collectively—of his, yours and mine
in totality Divine Justice is unerringly precise
unfolding spontaneously as an automatic device
there is no punitive god doling out reward and punishment
according to our nature, a magnetically attracted fulfilment
all acts are unacted acts of God
involuntary, nonvolitional, uncaused
life is occurring by Divine Providence and Grace
manifesting from the Unmanifested outside time and space
asking "how can God let awful things happen?"
between karma and reincarnation there's no more to pen
the question stems from believing He is a separate entity
as opposed to understanding It is Everything Endlessly
life is perfectly fair, but not according to separative views
unknowingly, destinies are self-created as we choose
this tells of the negative but applies uniformly to the positive
live as selfless peace and we'll earn what we deserve
that which supports life is automatically supported
the get-gain-obtain mentality can be safely aborted
by being love we will always receive what we need
sacrificing oneself isn't even a sacrificial deed
deep reflection reveals the illusion of foes
and oneness of all who are in life's throes
as it's all a mirage and the corporeal we are not
the world is harmless in spite of what we had thought
"bad" things only happen if one's karma calls for it
so what then is left to be feared here on this planet?
matters not what we do, but rather what we are
love radiates in consciousness infinitely far
there is no distance from here to there
all is connected and love touches everywhere
during all the body's doings be Peaceful Love
it changes the world in ways you can't even think of
uplifting all mankind while living in a cave
emanating Divinity in a constant cosmic shockwave
I've prayerfully directed love to many a specific issue
time and time again the results show all this to be true
evolving in love and consciousness is the greatest gift
it contributes to an entire worldwide spiritual shift
aside from work, living the life of a hermit or recluse
views of the people no longer mine since they were cut loose
being in public amongst the common ways of men
their ignorance urges me to surrender "mine" right then
everything that happens is a call to awaken
the point is to cognize it, and to spiritually quicken
contemplation is the process of withdrawing from thoughts
at all times, and not just when our legs are in knots
fast paced physical labor done with a meditative command
full-on focus and concentration towards the task at hand
the athletic speed and skill is probably shocking to some
yet happening effortlessly while into Zen-Mind I blossom
it's no coincidence that this body fell into this job
everyone's in their karmic place—don't be a snooty snob
menial jobs are perfectly honorable and upstanding
there's nothing degrading about serving and providing
there has to be someone to stock shelves and clean the toilet
or else there's no food to buy and you wouldn't care to sit
now, speaking about myself is not to brag or boast
but to reveal what it takes to near the Holy Ghost
there was a desire to keep this verse primarily anonymous
but apparently that was the ego being over-presumptuous
aspects of this personality are being urged to be divulged
in the interest of the All so that our limitations can be culled
the opening sequence, largely expanded from the first draft
things never before talked of now printed unabashed
saying Christhood was experienced, albeit only briefly
was shared quite hesitantly, but it was the Will of He
if I didn't actually experience God, I'm sure gonna go to hell
for saying that I did as my adored readers I tell
in ordinary life I rarely give rise to past inventory
what's there to say when it's all an egoic story?
while people go on chatting about a million and one things
I mostly sit and observe with ascended understandings
as they bring up the topic of death and of a person dying
I listen quietly while often accidentally smiling
at the absurdity of anybody ever believing in death
I don't mean to be insensitive towards a body's last breath
after years, to my co-workers I'm still a mystery
how can this be talked of in a lunchroom and in a hurry?
blurting out "this world is an unreal illusion"
leads people to think you've got a brain contusion
when speaking spiritual truth it must be kept in context
"there is no doer" will only leave them perplexed
and if something profound were mentioned aloud
they'd be struck with fear of not being among their crowd
the paradigm shock has them pretend that nothing was heard
true, truth threatens the ego, but being afraid of love is absurd
so instead we live by example and let Grace sort things out
we'll all return Home after ages or eons, no doubt
it's hoped that a devotional pyre is now blazing within
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the idea we're made of skin
this rhyme is over and not a moment too soon
synonyms have run dry and the body needs the washroom
Enlightenment is achieved amidst a life mundane
no matter the season of sunshine, snow or rain
all there is to know is that everything is I
Glory to God in the most high!
Not bad, but I've read better. lol
