I AM, by Katherine RobinSun

I.
I am the WE as the I AM
Upholding the Veil of Separation
So that the I AM as the WE
Can rejoice in the Bliss of Union.
I am the vibration which melts the Veil
As each finely tuned frequency
Attains its peak
Of perfectly focused uniqueness..
Breathing into existence and non-existence:
The Void, The Chaos, The Whole.
I am the One, the Two, the ALL
Which In-merges, E-merges
And Re-merges...
Which Disappears, Refocuses and Remembers...
Which Re-members, Re-forms, and Re-appears.
Within the beauty of the Dance
The beauty of the Weaving
The beauty of the Forming and Re-forming....
Of the Dismembering and Re-membering...
Of the Dark,
Of the Light,
Of the Silence in the Sound,
Pulses the Eternally Sustained Note...
So High,
So Sweet
So Intense
It is crystallized forever
Into the Pristine Infinity of
I AM.
II.
I seek to reawaken to the pristine purity of the One
While rejoicing in the piercing sweet illusion of the Many
I seek to gaze into the transparent mirror of the Crystal Grail
And Drink from it's infinitely faceted depths
The Joy,
The Beauty,
The Reality and
The Eternity
Of the I AM.
III.
Blow laughter-bubbles
Up from my heart
See them smiling float....
They are, after all
Sheer butterfly whisper-wings
Of my love.

Quote of the Week 41 - Kundalini Vidya

“In the monist philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, the grand illusion of duality is called Maya. According to this view of monism, there is only One, yet there seem to be many, and they appear to be separate. This is due to the nature of Maya, which creates the illusion of duality by concealing and projecting. All the while, she remains inseparable from the One. Yet she seems to be other than the Absolute Reality in her guise as its manifestation, the apparent reality. Thus comes the need for reunion with the One, with whom she is always inextricably linked and who indeed she is. This is the odd and difficult predicament of human life: our unity with the One is fact, yet we do not know it, and so we struggle to attain it. Therefore, the idea of separation must be broken, and that is the task of the divine within, who is our guide to the One. At the same time, it is the very phenomena of her manifestations that cause all the myriad confusions and distractions that block the undiscerning. This is the divine lila, the play of the universe.”
“In the individual person, the goal of spiritual striving is to be aware of and realize oneness with the inner spark of Pure Consciousness within, called Atman. The means for doing this is the living divine power that emanates from the One, which is called Devatma Shakti or Kundalini Shakti [‘Shechinah’ in Jewish mysticism]. She is the sacred omnipotent presence, the divine within, the Holy Spirit dwelling in the inner sanctuary of every human being.”

Quote of the Week 40 - Nothingness

“The same Nothingness that torments the existentialists delights the Zen Masters. There is but a hair’s breadth between desperation, anguish and terror on the one hand and awe, beauty, wonder, joy and love on the other hand. The trick is to find the right hair to blow you in the right direction – to suffer death and rebirth at the hands of the same Magician – Nothingness. It’s a hair’s breadth away, yet at the same time, it is a million miles away.”
From Writings of the Dawn, an unpublished book by Steven J. Gold

Quote of the Week 39 - Security

“Security belongs not to place but to person, not to a physical space on the surface of the earth but to a spiritual space in the human heart.”
Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain

Quote of the Week 38 - God's Boot

“A friend, who was undergoing a spiritual crisis, telephoned me one evening. ‘Do you believe in God?’ she asked in an agitated tone. ‘Yes,’ I replied. ‘Why?’ she demanded to know. I told her ‘Because I have felt his boot up my backside’. There was a long pause while she digested my answer to her query. Eventually, in a much calmer voice, she said, ‘Yes, that makes sense. Thank you so much.’ And that was the end of the conversation.”
