The Inner Cleansing

Finding the words that remain.

Detoxing Dogmatic Routines and Patterns

The inner cleansing is due

reaching back into forgotten places

raking the spiritual leaves

collecting the pile of pieces

organizing the puzzles of life

-

As much as needed

find the time to rewind

detoxing dogmatic routines

binding down what could have been

interrupting what should be

-

The inner understanding 

beyond holistic comprehension

always there in the eternal now

behind the rigid structure

made to defend our logic

-

The detox was avoided for too long

when it becomes a lovely dream after all

finding ways to achieve balance

solving frustrations abounding in ignorance

teaching lifestyle changes through experience

-

The inner cleansing

putting aside familiar routines

laying aside prideful assumptions

seeking beyond surface emotions

rounding up every sensible correlation

-

Collecting the sum meaning

regarding the frequencies of energy

removing the unbalanced shifters

pulling floating balance under

symbolic waves depicting harmony

-

The effort will result in knowing

when the boundaries within are found

outside of the intangible illusion

the remaining construct left by default 

by a soul burdened with pain and sorrow

Cleansing the Circuit Board to Eternity

The inner cleansing will help

the words and sentences explaining

the level of comprehension

without structured mirrors

showing trained expressions

in pictures of individual regret and shame

-

Inside the outside is found

in circuits abounding with energy and light

connecting unexpectedly 

the profound meaning

in places winding around time

-

The air is cluttered with worry and doubt

fear abounds with shooting darts

distractions multiply with every second

time is sliced into millions of chores

slating the wretch into perpetual misery

-

Swirling within are illusions and false understandings

constructed in familiar patterns of behavior and actions

solidified in mind, body, and soul

limited by the present dimensional capacity

seen as clearly as the water behind the blue sky

-

Inner cleansing will find solutions

with positive leanings in daily life

able to handle the struggles and challenges presented

by toxified beings in energy vortexes

and the circuit board to eternity within

    Beautiful insights which resonate, friend! I remain essentially an nonthiest, but have come to view religion as a part of science, not as opposed to it. We've been trying to tell ourselves something all along haven't we? Whether it is the Buddha beneath the Bodhi tree, Augustine parrying the Manichees, Luther nailing his proclamations to the door of the Cathedral, the Kabbalists ruminating on the unnamable name, or quantum physicists puzzling over how a particle can also be a wave... I could give so many more examples... but the seeker always finds. Always. The danger lies in accepting a premature conclusion, which is all that any dogma has ever been! Perhps a Deist like Thomas Paine was right to say we should find God's Will in his work by studying it, and perhaps also the ancient Brahmins knew the dangers of dogma when they coined the term "Neti-Neti". God--or in their term Brahma--is "Not this, Not that". Always Neti-Neti. I take this to mean it matters not how we get there, only that there is where we belong, where we consummate that will which is our to complete, and that the supreme danger is always that we should think to stop seeking, for the universe is ever in motion, and so too are we! Forgive my rambling, but your work really struck a chord in me! Well-wrought!
