"Gold"
Ah gold
Shimmering
Shining
Everywhere
But,
Like black—
Blinding
Curious gold
Everywhere
To dominate
My vision
No longer the mountain
The sun
The sky
Nor the world below,
Only the gold
Patterning patterns
Swirling
Whirling
A world
Three dimensional in gold
"Everywhere gold
Permeating
Even my brain
My struggling brain
Somewhere
Struggling below
In another world
Calling faintly,
Struggling slight
I retained
The brain
A while longer
Then—
The gold
The feeling
The ringing
The music
Yielding
Gave me up
To another world
No longer the brain
The worry,
No longer the body,
Only the faint calling
Far away
To remind me
Still
Of flesh
I looked to the world
Of gold—
The eighth step
Of life
I could sense
Strange vibrations—
New
To my consciousness
My awareness grew
And the blindness
Was leaving,
Light flooding
With knowledge
"I am in the life flow
Of the infinite"
I thought
"But how?
What strange being
Is this—
Surging
Pulsating
Vibrating?"
The question—
And immediately
Again
Knowledge surged
Upon
My mind
Soon,
Answers came faster
Than the questions
It came to me—
"I am one
With the Universal love
In this world
Vibrating
And all things are mine
For I am
The power uniting
More powerful
Than any being
Existing relative
Could know
I am
The power of life
Holding the living
Together
I am the living,
Yet—
An individual
I am free of all limits
But myself—
The love
The force
The attraction
Molding all things
Together"
Still
My knowledge grew
Gaining the infinite
Of my consciousness,
No longer were there
Questions or answers—
Only the truth
Of reality
I became a living power
Growing
And knowledge—
My pure essence
Love was my being
And I supplied
All things
Throughout
The planets
The solar systems
The galaxies
And the total being
Of my Universe
With
The relative forms
Of infinite love
"I am the power
And being
In the golden world
Of infinity
I am the great of all
Of the world
Of love
And
It is nothing to boast
For
I am
All things
Forever
I am the I am
The infinite
Love
I exist
Space and time
Forever
My golden being"
Time passed
But how much?
Microseconds or eons?—(both)
How to relate time
To the infinite
And then
Slowly
Infringing upon my senses
Through
To my being
(In an infinite mode)
And gradually
Throughout my eternal gold existence
Beyond
I could sense something greater
"Something of which
I am a part
In my eternal binding"
The sensing
Stronger
Throughout
Permeating
But not touching
"How?"
Like
A closed eye
Opening
A first look
Struggling to see
To make sense
Of the existing
"Where is the knowledge
To perceive?
What is this being
To sense?
Always there
Existing
Fringing
To open
My golden eye—
To perceive the seen
The scene
And let it be known"
It was then—
Bursting through,
Streaming forth
Upon my knowledge
Fringing my world,
My ability to know
"Infinite wisdom
Omnipotent
And
Omnipresent"
The white light streamed
I knew then
I had found
The sun
Forever existent
I channeled my consciousness
Concentrating
Upon my infinite sense
"My sun
My sun
I see you now"
I thought
The infinite bright white light
Containing all colors
Containing all existence,
The infinite life
Surpassing the superlative
Here then is the supreme existence—
The infinite wisdom
The infinite love
The infinite force
And all composing all
Of existence
AD INFINITUM
"The existing of all things
Forever
And
I see the light"
Still
Existing
Still
I continued
My golden world
And
The bright white light
The infinite love
The infinite wisdom
The attraction
The unity of the Universe
The attracting force
Was drawing me forth
Yes,
Showing me the way
Struggling
My consciousness
To grasp
The white—
Existing always,
Permeating
Through thought
The soul
Grasping naught
Closer
To the infinite infinity
The sun,
To unite
With the infinite wisdom—
To shed
The relative character
Struggling,
More difficult
To touch the edge
Instantly
Knowledge grasped
And
surged my being
More and more
Expanding
Perceiving
Knowledge
Was
Increasing
I began to know
Many things
A fantastic knowledge
Of being
A scope
A ken of magnanimous magnitude
And still
I gained
Knowledge bound
Onto
My golden world
On
Forever on
The infinite
"At last"
I thought
"I have found the sun—
I
The searcher come home"
I gained—
Knowledge
Perception
Consciousness
It seemed
Soon
I would unite
With the infinite power
Forever on
Knowledge
Flooded my being
Becoming
Vaster and vaster
Knowledge, but slowing
"Beaming light
Infinite
Uniting love
To unite the relative
Enclose
And enfold
Why oppose?
What force?
What blinds
My infinite eye?
Slowly
The more I knew
The more I began to know
How much I needed to know
And then too
Suddenly
I knew
I knew not enough
Then
Nor in a sooner future
To become one
With the infinite wisdom
"My being has knowledge
Now
A fantastic scope—
But not enough
For the sun to shine
Brightly
All my dark paths
Still
Now
I know too
A perceiving knowledge
A straight
Wide
And easy path
Upon the smooth planes
Bringing me home"
Mine was the world of pure love
Demanding
And supplying—
And I loved all
"I love you
(All inclusive)
In my world of gold
Swirling
I love your movement
Your knowledge
Your being
Swirling
Whirling
I love being
And
And I love all beings
Demand
Demand
And I supply you all
For
You are me
And I
You
Forever
We are the infinite love,
This plane of planes
On and on
Forever on. . ."
