THE POETRY OF PERSONALIZED DIVINE GUIDANCE FROM WITHIN AND FROM WITHOUT

{**To be in sync with the Land—is to be in sync with yourself and with G-d**}

Dear listeners…….dear potential receivers of the inner voice---that voice that may be leading you to a path that will be retroactively recognized as your path of choice…..dear trail blazers….star gazers…..inner space laser beam chasers…..always listening for the subtle call of the One who knows all and who is sharing it all with you if you are daring enough to listen …if you are brave enough to let yourself be guided back to your ancient home---even if it means venturing out and venturing in all alone ….do you really want to go back home my precious ones?!……may these poems fill you up with clarity needed to bravely find your way ….

CAN YOU HEAR ME CALLING TO YOU
[**a morning prayer**]

*****Can you hear me calling to You this wonderful enchanted morning this Heavenly day ?

*****And the voices inside... sometimes inviting sometimes so very frightening they will never go away but I will dare to live this day like I've never lived before because that's what I was created for

*****and the main thing i wanted to say is this.... the secret recipe for bliss is when you dare to embrace your life and plant a loving kiss like this by just saying yes yes

******YES despite all the trials and confusion I'll defy all the illusions that are threatening my fusion with the source of life no more intrusions and don't worry I'll be allright I've been down this road once or twice before and though I'm a bit worn down and tired I know that You hear my words and take them and place them on your Head like a crown of lovely jewels and everyone elses words as well Good morning to You my beloved

I'D LIKE TO WISH YOU THE ABILITY TO SEE YOURSELF

I'd like to wish you the ability to see yourself as being a personification of endless creativity

I’d like you to wish you the ability to look down inside of yourself and hear a voice that knows exactly why you are here

I'd like to wish you the ability to be able to follow that voice down the road of your life every day of your life

I’d like to wish you the ability to speak your mind, your soul your heart your essence--- to really say what you mean and mean what you say in the deepest sense of the word

I’d like to wish you the ability to walk down the road and be accompanied by all those people from your root soul that are accompanying you every day of your life

I’d like to wish you the ability to feel the love of G-d, and how He's got your back, and He's got your front, and your sides, and is carrying you down the road of life, and is moving you towards the place that you are moving towards,--the place you know that you've got to go--- the place that you are destined to go

I’d like to wish you the ability to know and understand with humbleness and smallness and deep appreciation-- that everything that is coming your way is coming with compassion with love

I'd like to wish you the ability to appreciate that everything that is coming your way is coming in a customized personalized way exactly the way you need it

COMPOSE A HAPPY ENDING

**** open your eyes
and see the hints
and the allusions
and the gentle lures
calling to you
awakening your curiosity
lighting up your luminosity

****open up your heart
and hear the beckoning
and taste the temptation
and touch the resonation
and smell the determination

***** open up your knowing
and walk through the barriers
and sing away the deepest fears
and paint a portrayal of stunning victory
and compose a happy ending
where you are sending
everyone you know
a dose of knowing
so that they can
open up their knowing too

ACCEPTING ALL THAT COMES DOWN FROM THE ONE ABOVE

***The absolute commitment
To be in a state of acceptance,
Accepting all that comes down
From the One Above
As being the very best possible
Of all possible scenarios

*** Elicits measure for measure
The ultimate Divine response
That all that we do,
Though we may make
A thousand mistakes
and blunders,
We are nevertheless
Unconditionally accepted
as we are

*** I am for my beloved
And my beloved is for me
I receive my beloved with allness
And my beloved
Receives me in allness:

***My world manifests
itself to me
As I see it ,
When all I see
is it’s goodness
Even when others would see
No goodness at all
Then my world responds
And shows me
Nothing other
than her absolute goodness

LISTEN TO THE WISDOM OF YOUR HEART

*****the heart whispers to us constantly
with wisdom
with guidance
with knowing
with fire

*****listen to the wisdom of your heart
letting you know
when to stop
and when to start
with whom to be careful
and to whom
to give it all you have

******listen to the guidance of your heart
informing you
when to stand still
and when to let go
even though you don't know
where you will end up going

*****listen to the knowing of your heart
knowing with one word
what takes thousands of words
to understand

*****listen to the fire of your heart
daring you to go for it
taunting you to finally
show yourself
and the world
who you are

*****listen with your heart to another's heart
listen to what they are truly saying
listen to what they truly want
listen to what they are afraid of

*****and then listen to the endless healing wellsprings
and wisdom of your heart
and share it with them
freely
lovingly

A FEW POEMS ABOUT 'THE LAND'

Dear believers in The Land and all that she has to offer dear dreamers of history…..yearners to be able to be free in The Land …..dear rectifiers of the age old negativities that were spoken about The Land….She extends her hand to all of her children to come home to her again…never to leave her alone again….and the dream is coming alive miraculously right before our eyes….as we enter inside of her pristine divinity –to live our lives again as we did once upon a time…perhaps some poetry can entice Her wayward children to cast their lots with the Holy Land and come back home again

THE LAND

**I plant myself in The Land
blindly
not knowing

**I begin to know myself in The Land
that hidden part
of who I am

**I am reborn in The Land
coming from the Supernal Mother's womb
and then suckled into childhood again

**I bind my soul with the soul of The Land
and our interfused soul
gets to know the essence of it all

**I experience what is experienced by The Land
her fertility
her vulnerability
becomes my own

**I suffer what is suffered by The Land
and our sufferings
purge us of history's flaws
here at the centre of it all

**I enter into the Garden inside of The Land
and all the shells disappear
as if they were never here

**I embody the Eternity of The Land
my eternity bundled up in
the bundle of eternal life
with that of the Land

and our unification
and our co-creation
guides us to be at one
with The One who speaks
and the Land and the world comes
into being

A LAND OF PARADOX

*after feeling utter revulsion
he looks on with fascination
pondering what is the secret of
this Land of Paradox

*and the depressed ones
are the first ones to step forward
to do the dance of ecstasy
reaching out a helping hand to all those who
are trying to make their way through the maze of
this Land of Paradox

*and the spies
can't seem to rise to this historic
opportunity
opening up locked doors
for their posterity to enter into
the Land of Paradox

*and her people

have walked for thousands of miles
to kiss the dust at their feet
and walk barefoot
on the sand of
this Land of Paradox

*timelessness
inhabits our minds the prophetic past
providing the signs which reveal how to step up to
and live now in the present
and pave the way for Heaven sent Messianic consciousness here in
The Land of Paradox

*and the deepest intensity
and the deepest insecurity you can see it
in the eyes of everyone you see
just before unheard of miracles
beyond people's ability to understand here in
The Land of Paradox

*and the right wingers
rub shoulders with' the left wingers
2 Jews 3 opinions the masses in their minions
every race and persuasion vying for leverage
here in this Nation and even the secular agree with the orthodox
that life is quite unique here in
The land of Paradox

*Over here
life is a self reflected mirror
there are no excuses
there are no disguises
the Land must be earned
but don't be overly concerned
if we're going to make it here or not
because all good things can be gotten
when you know that we are constantly knocking
on G-d's front door no less and no more
here in
The Land of Paradox

VISIONS OF A PARADOXICAL PARADISE

**and the higher soul

intertwined

with the lower soul

in a harmonious flow

and the more they

simultaneously grow

the more they each

get to know

when to control

and when to let go

**and our body and soul

will only have only

one thing

that they'll want

to know,

"Please reveal to us

Your supernal glow"

not too high

not too low

It'll be the greatest show

nothing else comes close

this--- we will all know''

**and just as the sea

comes to rest

at the shore

and just as

the lion

and the lamb

cuddle up

on the garden floor

so too will

my brightest side

light up

my darkest side

forever more

and so too will the tree

of knowing

and the tree of life

unlock all the doors
**and when we slip

into Paradise

forever

and a day

there will be

only one thing

left to say,

"All praise be

to the One

who set us free for all of eternity"

ANCIENT NEWNESS

**we are a people

born into families

of ancient roots

seeking constantly to be born

**Atik Yomin

the oldest thing

gives rise

to brand new

life

**We live in a land

that's old and new

paradoxical sunrise

breath-taking view

**every family

has a martyred legacy

giving us the courage

to become a whole new entity

**primordial stirrings

stream through our blood

and the end is

planted in the beginning

**a people so weather-worn

so been there-done that

yet

relentlessly

willing to start

again and again

**archetypal memories

prophetic history

leading us to

somehow

rise up and be

the light

to the world

that we are

destined to be
**and the holy tongue

the DNA of reality

planted in the

texture of all that is

reframes itself

into re-creating

all that comes into being
**and the ancient

and the new

presents itself

to me and you if we allow it to

THE INGATHERING

*they come in all

shapes and sizes

every language

every viewpoint

*a coming together

like this no one hasever seen before

nor will ever see again

*and G-d in His Infinite love

and wisdom smiles down upon

the Ingathering

*the good Land

and it's promise

despite it's struggles

[or perhaps because of them]

is what brings them back

back from their never-ending exiles

their exhausted wanderings

their tossings and turnings

their indignations suffered at

the hands of the nations

they are coming home

*and their ancestors

with tears in their eyes

all their voices raised

in bittersweet cries

wave hello and goodbye

from their higher world perch

as they search

for their great grandchildren

as they step off

their planes and ships

and plant a heart-filled kiss

hand in hand

on the holy soil

of their promised land

*and the band

strikes up a sacred song

and even the Prophets and Patriarchs

are singing along

*and all eyes

look to the One

with hope and clarity

that this endless journey

that they have taken throughout history

is only the beginning

the beginning of their destiny

to bring all of reality

to the realization that this Holy land

and this Holy Nation

will now shine an endless

light of inspiration to all of creation

HEAVENLY JERUSALEM

* here is the heart of reality

pumping a faithful yet serene

constant flowing

of the life-blood

of the Universe

and all that can be heard

is an imperceptible sound

which is all that is needed

to keep the world

spinning around

*here is the congregation

of driven souls

representatives of the generations

and everyone knows

that these golden stones

are infused with secrets

of all that was

and that will be

*one and all in life and beyond

by choice or not

comes to this place

a steady stream of humanity

and all turn their faces

to the wall

tears and prayers

one and all

*parallel worlds converge

and

Heaven and Earthemerge

as one

and the Sunand Moon

share a kiss here in this

sanctuary of

cosmic bliss

*and here the silence

defies the laws

of nature

and in your footsteps you stop

and listen as tens thousand devotees

are all screaming for Divine mercy

and you can hear a pin drop

*and here all the mind noise stops

when you close your meditative eyes

and watch how

the sea of humanity

in a parade of ecstasy

on their once in a lifetime

pilgrimage to the source

of souls of life

of the their place in the Divine

POETRY FOR CONSTANTLY BIRTHING

Dear and wonderful friends and fellow seekers of new and alternative ways of being born ….of birthing our way into the land of allness……of celebrating our birthdays every day of the year---for truth be told---when we open our eyes to truly see---we are all being born daily in so many remarkable ways …….birth yourselves anew----a new you –a you that only birthing can cause to come through….see where you have come from and where you are going to and birth yourselves anew---and then get a bird's eye view of the brand new you that is now and always coming through----it's the most exciting thing that you can possibly do….please accept the poetic wishes to and from all those who are experiencing birthdays and renewal days and are communicating their birthings daily in amazing ways ------I wish you joyful birthings and rebirthings and un-earth-ings of a brand new you ….it's the very least we can do

CONSTANTLY BIRTHING

be free
be the one who stands up
and lets the anxieties
fall away from you
like the dew melting away
in the morning sun

be free
show them all
what you're made of
a lovely testimony
to your invincibility
allowing your difficulty
to sink into obscurity
like the sunset sinking into a majestic evening

be free
illuminate the darkness with the colors of dawn
with the determination to move on
and the struggles that you face
that only light up the way
for all of us to follow
if we dare
if we can share
your breath-taking vision
of the glistening light
at the end of the endless night

be free
show us a new way of seeing
a new way of being
where all the dilemmas and chaos
and disorder and discord
all prove themselves to be
a thing of the past
a fleeting impression
that does not last
swallowed up in the relentless
melody
of a holy soul
constantly becoming
constantly arriving
constantly birthing

RECOGNIZING MY PRE-BIRTH SELF

seeing

revealing

who I am

I am impregnated

with a new me

I was conceived

at the genesis

of this last year's reality

and I'm stepping into

new ways of being

new ways of seeing

and my pregnancy is showing

I'm starting to show and be shown

to grow and become slightly known

wild oats becoming sown

my pregnancy is starting to show

showing me

the direction my life is heading

is starting to show me

who I am becoming

and what is unfolding

this child inside me

is growing

and starts knowing

itself

it's place

and on the face

of it all

it still seems pretty small

not much to talk of

at all

until I listen close

than I discover

brand new

eyes and ears

and nose

sensing

hidden sensings

I've never seen

the hidden light

starts opening

it's pristine sights

that I've never dreamed

I could see

in the old me

and the new me

explores

new ways to be

new ways to be me

YOU ARE BIRTHING ME

You are birthing me right now at this point in my life

You are allowing me to purge,
You are allowing me to see

You are allowing me to be me

I just put it out there

on paper

or into the airwaves

I just let it all be
intertwined with all my different desires

with All the different essences,
they come out on to the page

or into the airwaves

and into the ears and hearts

of all who receive

Birth me into that whole majestic space

For I am a newborn baby

completely dependent

on your tender loving care

And I thank You for the gift

of associative thinking And the ability to hear something
And see all the other lateral thoughts at the same time

I want to thank You for the gift   of birthing [or being a birth channel of...]
so many thoughts in between thoughts So many lines in between lines
So much depth within depth      Its the incipient point of the wellspring
Its the beginning of the diving into the deep   of the whole mix
of who I am and who I was   and who I am meant to be

Who the IAM was and who the IAM is

Trying to see how

we can navigate that intimate path

To get to the I am

and to be born

into it's splendid light

THE POETRY OF POLARITY

Dear careful treaders in the mine fields of polarity--- to be or not to be –that's not only the question –that's the answer—that's the essence of polarity---that's the situation we all find ourselves in---especially in these totally non-proportionate, out of balance days of summer ---these days of decisions to enter into the Land sight unseen—or to do something that can enable us to feel some minimal sense of security I have no clear answers you magnetic dancers…….you irresistible enchanters….. but still--the womb calls to you ---and when it does---there is nothing you can do , except to heed to it's call----it is all that you need to know----it is the only place that you really must go…..and so ----rather than close your heart and mind----open them wide ----and you will find treasures that lie at the root of all life ---it draws us to Him and he to she and you and me to the we…..and it fills us up with the colors of aliveness---it submerges us into the source of time and space---and the entire human race has their sights set on it's allure-----usually not even sure why----but just a knowing that theirs is not to reason why—theirs is to do or die…….inside of it lies the deepest secrets of life and we sigh and breathe deeply before we dive back in—only to be born again……

THEY INVOKE POLARITY

   **they invoke polarity;
a oneness  with their differences fully intact
a constant tension that keeps them coming back for more

    **they invoke polarity;
it brings out their essence it brings out their desire  it lights them on fire
it digresses them it obsesses them it enmeshes them  in each other

**they invoke polarity;

She says A He says B

She says "Hey, I get what you say'He says ''Now I see the way you see''

And they've been doing this thing all the time

And even when they're speaking completely different things

They are making the most exquisite rhyme

All the time

And personally- I think It's a sure sign

Of some amazing times

We are all stepping into

When 1 and 1 isn't really two

But rather a whole new way

To view

the things we do

PRIMORDIAL PERPETUAL PASSION

***The foundation of it all is that
The Creator created a void
That is filled with a ray of light
To draw us to Him and Him to us
Infinite to finite ….
Finite to Infinite

***Nature abhors a void
The void demands to be filled
And this is life’s primal drive

***The Creator made man and woman
To emulate His primal Creation drive
we can never escape it
we can never break it
all we can hope to do
is to take it
to a place
of light
lighting up
the darkness
of our lives

***and the hunger is real
and the primal womb calls out
to us
to unearth our deepness
to give birth to our emerging aliveness

**and the passion
never leaves us alone
and the fire
burns on
and drives us all
sometimes chaotically
sometimes erratically
always emphatically
and the world
spins on
and on

***polarity
perpetually
seeking to return
to the sublimity
of the primordial
oneness

INESCAPABLY...CONSTANTLY

***He moves through his day
Through the patterns
And the rhythms
Of varying intensity

***And as she sets out on her way
The translucent
Image of their dance
Appears before her
Constantly

***They pretend and play
and go through the motions
Reaching and stretching
Through the ebb and flow
life's monotonous to and fro

***But they say
you are where
Your thoughts are
And theirs surely are
inescapably
one with the other
and no other thought
will do

***And time stands still today
Or moves in it’s own propensity
And they find themselves
In this heated spiral and intensity
Craving for a place
called me and you
and those of you
who have stumbled in to this place
know what they are going through

RETURN TO THE INFINITE WOMB

the core motivation

that transcends all other motivations

that externalize

all other realizations

that leave behind all other inspirations

is the drive towards realization

of a return to the Infinite womb

no other agendas will do

it's not only what we want

it's what all of Creation wants

and to the extent that we

are true to this core

than we will begin to soar

to the highest heights

and fly higher than

we've ever flown before

and keep on flying

forever more

PRIMAL DESIRE..

And I feel so alive

when my resonation revives

the sparks of hidden life

calling me from their hidden hive

of long lost activity

of a distant memory

of how things are supposed to be

drawing me close to thee

and I'm driven to seek out

the love that magnetizes

the soft light that hypnotizes

and the lesson internalizes

when I'm consciously mesmerized by

the sparks of the food that I eat

the sparks of the partialness that I complete

the sparks that are thoroughly replete

the sparks that shine so powerful and discreet

and sparks of primal desire

offer a hidden a way to forsake

all the mindlessness we seek to escape

offer a way to reshape

the path we so deeply want to take

to discover another

side of who I am

to reveal in me

the roots of my very being

the primal womb calls out to me

THE SOURCE OF ALL SWEETENENING

seeing expanse

beginning till the end

and back again

a seeing inside the womb

all that will be revealed

and known

from birth till death

and beyond

born again

the void remains the same

it will never change

it's the only place

that we must go

the harshness

the constriction

has no say here in the womb

it is from here that we have come

it is to here that we will go

it is the only desire

it is the desire within all desire

it is the sweetening within all sweetening

THE GREATER THE CHALLENGE THE MORE PRIMAL YOUR DESIRE MUST BE

*the greater the challenge

the more primal your desire must be

and
