My Own Splendor
1
With the pincers of truth I have plucked
From the dark corners of my heart
The thorn of many judgments.
I sit in my own splendor.
Wealth or pleasure,
Duty or discrimination,
Duality or nonduality,
What are they to me?
What is yesterday,
Tomorrow,
Or today?
What is space,
Or eternity?
I sit in my own radiance.
What is the Self,
Or the not-Self?
What is thinking,
Or not thinking?
What is good or evil?
I sit in my own splendor.
I sit in my own radiance,
And I have no fear.
Waking, Dreaming, Sleeping,
What are they to me?
Or even ecstasy?
What is far or near,
Outside or inside,
Gross or subtle?
I sit in my own splendor.
Dissolving the mind,
Or the highest meditation,
The world and all its works,
Life or death,
What are they to me?
I sit in my own radiance.
Why talk of wisdom,
The three ends of life,
Or oneness?
Why talk of these!
Now I live in my heart.

AFTERNOON
Virginia Woolf
Howard Thurman
There is in every person an inward sea,
And in that sea there is an island
And on that island there is an altar
before that altar is the
angel with the flaming sword.
to be placed upon that altar
unless it has the mark
of your inner authority."
'the angel with the flaming sword'
to be placed upon your altar
unless it be a part of
'the fluid area of your consent."
Excerpt from Howard Thurman's Meditation of the Heart.

JOHN MCINTOSH
When you are FREE of conditioning nothing ‘sticks’
to divert your Attention from Who You Really Are.
-The glamor of the world swirls around you without effect
-Sorrow begs you to acknowledge its victim-hood
but is met only with compassion and never sympathy
that would fan the flames of that illusion
your new-found power over illusion
but you remain ‘fixed’ on Truth and Peace ‘IS’
-Without effort,
your radiance touches and embraces the entire dream
and every version of dreamer within, that still sleeps
an infinite Light shines on every dark corner of the grand dream
-Many recoil in shame or fear as their disguises melt away
-Others approach with caution and scepticism,
dazzled by this ‘influence’ that lifts and inspires
but asks nothing
to the boundless Life You Are
as their ancient burdens lose control
-Each one who still sleeps,
is in some way affected
and at the level of their open-ness,
shift ever more inward toward their own Freedom
where to go,
what to say and to whom,
unencumbered by the conditioning
that once colored and tainted every action,
every word, every thought
and when complete are departed from completely
