Open the lead ….
…. Precious
…. predicates consciousness
Contacting
the process of becoming,
The delicious contrasting the atrocious,
And, from the one hundred and ten words –
Witnessing similarly, always and only
…. what you yourself, in conscience,
Have held as being consciously precious.
“What follows is not a poem in the Arabic, but part of a chapter from the Kitab al-Tajalliyat. However, since it was translated in the form of a poem by Henry Corbin in Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn ‘Arabi, it has become deservedly famous.” (Ibn Arabi web site as linked below)
Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi wrote the above in the thirteenth century.
Postscript added 12/12/20 to show how this revelation of the ‘kun’, or the primordial ‘be’ is the only place that ‘behaviour’ can change – the place of the contemporary revelation that is the 12 Step Programme.
Salaam.
Standing alien
Even in an industrial park
Technology makes it’s mark –
A herded stallion,
Electric mare, night turning day.
Be a person who
Even in a darkening land
Revolving in both God’s hands –
Arms outstretched, wind of Hu,
Dispenses mercy, healing day.
Her refuse wagon ….

The words start slowly
The lubrication of my pen
Seeps and oozes from
The honeycombed cells
Of my union with Her
Letters dance in the
Hall of love’s splendour
The music of an orchestra
Of souls wraps magically
Around my heart
Publishers search for
The era’s giant standard
Here and now, I am who am
Again, deny me
Deny me, deny me
Rhythm, cadence, stanza
Building passion, sheer
Ejaculations of meaning
Catching the light of
Daring reflectivity
In the beginning
Was the Word
In the end, Their
Will be, the Word
There willed be, where tilled.

The yellow slash and the yellow barriers around the ‘I’ on the above indicate the disease of stuck-addiction, the Cinderella separation of the ‘Be’, the dislocation of the ‘now’ of the Diction Chamber shown in the concluding diagram.

That is told to change from the ‘outside in’
Is not permanent
A revolving door of command
Lost in have’s maze
A hoopla parody
Whacked with the stick of money
The BE closed down
Overgrown castle of our Sleeping Beauty.
Then Life sends a Majesty
A sublimity
A mighty Word
A drawn again Excalibur
Exposing the labyrinth of the lost
haves and have nots,
Jailers and jailed.
Suddenly
Mankind’s
Pieces are returned to
Peace
All praise belongs to The One
Be well
Be healed
Be loved
Be sure
Be happy
The missing u …. waw
You
Returned
To Love’s behaviour
*Mandukya Upanishad
The Mandukya Upanishad reveals the mystery of manifest existence through the word AUM, which embodies the three principles represented by the three letters, and is beyond time and space, with the fourth principle indicating the surrounding silence of the unmanifest.
Merry Christmas and a Happily Behaved New Year
The delicate work of Muse rendition
When that word
Rendition
Has been usurped by the torture business
Is as difficult now
As it has always been.
Making the invisible, visible.
Being true.
Sentenced by words that are
Love’s sentience.
She says write …. I write
The double You rite that is poetry
Where there is no double You.
“I am who am”, a Master said
Modulated in poetry that somehow spawned
A See
now blinded by the Tantric fury
of burgeoning misunderstanding.
The poet priest returns
Knocking at the locked doors
of a heart forever open.
Letters dance through the light,
Ducts of love that join periodically
tabling the valent cauldron of
The prevalent.

When Muhammad (pbuh) contrasted the lesser jihad with the Greater Jihad, he was exposing the relationship that exists between the visible and the invisible as mankind realises their place in creation. He said that the lesser jihad was physical war and that the Greater Jihad was fought in the individual heart to seemingly fight against oneself to be a Human.
CG Jung called God “The Symbol of symbols”, and it seems that Muhammad knew that the outer always symbolises a greater inner.
Thus there is the lesser nativity and the Greater Nativity, the former symbolising a more potent latter for the individual.
The lesser nativity is the literal story of seeming impossibility that a Divine presence was miraculously born through biological means without the biological requirements for such a birth having been met, a story which has set the time recorder for the dominant culture of our era, it now being Christmas 2013AD.
The Greater Nativity (and by extension the Greater Easter also) is to internalise all of the characters in the outer nativity story, for oneself.
Mary in the right brain, Joseph in the left, the angel Gabriel the bridge, a catalyst between the two, all carried in the donkey of the body. The antagonist and protagonist elements in the literal nativity can similarly be identified inside an individual as a personal diction appears with Christ being simply Human, where before there was only a seemingly impossible potential for anyone ever becoming Human at all.
This being born again is mentioned here in the Sufi Way by Henry Bayman. (postscript added on 11/05/19)

The mess of the age

Toxic waste
Inner waste
Inappropriate voiding.
Sanity

The nerve endings of the Universe
Branch differently in the varies.
What are the varieties of the varies?
They are various, these varieties.
From the Ovary of the Mother,
all matter appears
then disappears.
From the invisible to the visible,
Returning,
That is our lot.
Life varies …. The Human pluralises in beings,
Beings depend upon Be
For their ing.
The measure depends upon a criterion ….

Beauty pierces
A word goes even deeper than the opening glance
Then
nothing is ever the same
Again
Love meets in the unseen first:
Musing, amusing,
The in and ex halation
Of a landing in my life,
The firing of my poet’s glass
Silvered as a mirror for her life.
