INSIDE OF THE DARKNESS IS LIGHT
*******inside
of the darkness
is light
********a light that
has been
patiently
waiting
to shine
since the
beginning of time
************and this light
will guide us all
to see
that what
seems to be
wrong
is ultimately
right
***********is actually the very best
thing we could ever
hope to have
**********and He saw
all that He Created
was good
but
when He saw
this darkness light
He saw that it was very good
and that everything
comes out to be
just like it should



THE GREATER THE HIDDENNESS

***he greater the obstacle

the greater the desire to make it work

***the greater the hurdle

the greater is the passion to get it done

***the greater the obstruction

the greater is the vision to realize the goal

***the greater the darkness

the greater is the light that hides on the other side

that will shine away all the darkness

***the greater the hiddenness

the greater the revelation that waits to shatter the illusion that there is anything else but His Divine Majesty

*** the greater the complication

the greater is the simplicity that will be discovered when we learn to uncover the veil

ENTRENCHED IN BROKENNESS

...So we go through this world

Trying to find

the lost sparks

of reality

....But the lost sparks

are entrenched in brokenness

...Those lost parts

of our souls

They are entrenched They are inhibited

They are stuck in an incarcerated web

Inside of some lost part of reality

Trapped inside

of some nether world

of brokenness

...And they themselves are so bright

They are so brilliant

And they are so hopeful

that they can be liberated

that they can

come back home

...and when we bond

with each other

truly bond

in body and heart

then we free up each other's sparks

because love and bonding

melt away the division

overlook the confusion

facilitate the fusion

accelerate the solution

...and those happy sparks

get a free pass to go back home

to you and me

THE ILLUSIONARY LAST VESTIGES OF LIFE

[**kista d'chayusa**]

****the silence of years

of mountains of despair

of oceans of tears

subtly gives way

one non-descript day

to a still small voice

and you have no choice

but to choose life

****then you realize

that all the darkness

in it's radical starkness

was only a preparation

for you to say good bye

to all those days gone by

and with the deepest sigh

you close your eyes

and jump on in

and choose life

****Life----in it's quintessence

in it's ultimate essence

can only truly be seen

can only truly be felt

when it is discovered

when it is recovered

from a place of dying

just before everyone

and every thing

gave up trying:

**** and the seed decomposes

deep in the earth

and just when it seems

there is nothing else there

the most splendid tree

begins to penetrate the earth

and reaches for the sky

astounding all who pass by



IF YOU KNOW
If you know how to walk in between the rain-drops
If you know how to see all the dark --as really being light
If you know how to feel the fear--as being the key to unlock it all
If you know how to touch the untouchable place inside
If you know how to hear goodness in between the lines of life's dark messages
If you know how to taste the bitterness as actually being sweetness
Then you will be able to always dwell in the inner sanctum reserved for the chosen few
where all is light
where all is right


THE ILLUSION OF DESPAIR

[**inspired by R. Yaakov Meir Schechter [shlita] who was inspired by Rebbe Nachman zt'l**]

**Nothing is ever completely lost It is still there Somewhere In some form Or another But it is still there

**And the cosmic breakage Repeats it's inevitable saga Throughout our lives And throughout the life of all creation But if you look closely In the midst of the brokenness There is found goodness With which to redeem the brokenness Into wholeness

**''And there was darkness on the face of the deep… " And G-d saw the light inside of the darkness And G-d saw that it was very good'

**And there is goodness ---a rebuilding type of goodness In every one of us In the Words of The Divine One In the righteous desire to give In the invincible will to live In the smiles of the innocent and pure There is no greater cure

**And there is rebuilding goodness In the Ark that Noah built In the holy sparks that call out to us at all times

**And there is the Hevel D'Garmei From which we will rise In the Messianic times The only thing left of decomposed flesh and bone

**And there is the 'Pintele Yid' That shines in it's pristine glory At the end of the human story When the time comes To drop all the lies Before one dies

**And there is 8th King Who lives on When the 1st seven are dead and gone And makes sure that life will carry on

**And even when a sharp sword is upon his throat The righteous King will not give up hope **and the Kista D'Chayusa That last vestige of life In the eternal night Will shine so very bright When it's time comes to eternally shine

**And we never really get it right Until we fall down at least once or twice

**Nothing is ever completely lost It is still there Somewhere In some form Or another But it is still there

A NEW DOOR OPENS

****and their stories are all the same
the disappearing flame the chasing game
the subsequent pain they all swore that never again
would they be trapped in a place that spins out of control
with no way to get back home all alone
and no one can know the void inside

***and so they hide away till the day turns to night
and the night turns into day they hide away
and if they are open to the voice deep inside
then--from the corner of their eyes they can spot a distant light
a feeling a believe-ing an invitation
to come and see a new way to see
a new possibility a letting go a letting G-d
a letting things just be a trust that it must be
better than the way things have been
so they get back on their feet again
and find that a new door
opens for them again and they dare
to walk on in



LISTEN TO THE DARKNESS
listen to a whole new voice opening inside of you
quiet and subtle at first but growing in intensity
a birthing the birth screams of Mashiach
happening deep inside you
listen to the the darkness all the darknesses of your life
calling you from a distance at first but steadily coming closer
growing bolder you've always kept them at a distance
but something has shifted you can now see right through them
when you don't take your eyes off of them
even for a second
that's when you become friends
that's when the angels in charge of your pain and suffering
surrender to you and they have
no choice but to yield to
your penetrating stare
and the walls of illusion
and delusion and dissolution
and confusion
come tumbling down
just because you know that underneath
that pain that hurt
there lies a light from Above
a light that keeps
everything in existence
and the Angel of death
revealed to Moses
the supernal ways
these secrets the Ketoret the holy spices
the sublime combinations
of goodness and badness
meshed together in sacred light
and dashed away the darkness
of the endless exile night
and the messianic light is being born
inside of us
and the birth pangs distract us
but the promise of a better day
of a higher way of an endless voice guides us
listen to the lion
inside of you now in the time of
messianic birthing
and let the roar
encourage you
to say never more
will I take my eyes away from
the golden gate that is open to one and all
just walk on through that door
**the price of admission
is submission
to His Mysterious ways
the secret code is believing
believing is seeing and seeing is believing

ACCESSING ABUNDANCE FROM THE DARK SIDE

THE DARK SIDE

LIGHT DEEP IN THE DARKNESS

listen to a whole new voice opening inside of you

quiet and subtle at first but growing in intensity

a birthing

the birth screams of Mashiach

happening deep inside you

listen to the the darkness

all the darknesses of your life

calling you from a distance at first

but steadily coming closer growing bolder

you've always kept them at a distance

but something has shifted

you can now see right through them

when you don't take your eyes off of them

even for a second

that's when you become friends that's when the angels in charge

of your pain and suffering surrender to you

and they have no choice but to yield to your penetrating stare

and the walls of illusion

and delusion and dissolution and confusion

of a higher way of an endless voice guides us

and let the roar encourage you to say never more will I take my eyes away

from the golden gate that is open to one and all

just walk on through that door

**the price of admission is submission to His Mysterious ways

the secret code is believing

believing is seeing

and seeing is believing

What does Hashem your God require of you?


POETRY FOR LOVE THAT BEAT DESPAIR

Dear lost and found lovers…here too, of course, there is no such thing as despair…there are second chances everywhere…there is a happy ending just waiting to unfold ….but you must be courageous and bold in these devastating times we live in to believe this ---and to wrap this hope and this belief around you ---like a cloak ….like a suit of armor---ready to fight the naysayers inside and out ---and in the end –our love will survive…..here's some poetry that will hopefully help us believe

A NEW DOOR OPENS

****and their stories
are all the same
the disappearing flame
the chasing game
the subsequent pain
they all swore
that never again
would they be trapped
in a place that spins out of control
with no way to get back home
all alone
and no one can know
the void inside

***and so they hide away
till the day
turns to night
and the night
turns to day
they hide away
and if they are open
to the voice deep inside
then--from the corner of their eyes
they can spot a distant light
a feeling
a believe-ing
an invitation
to come and see
a new way to see
a new possibility
a letting go
a letting G-d
a letting things just be
a trust that it must be
better than the way
things have been
so they get back
on their feet again
and find
that a new door
opens for them again
and they dare
to walk on in


GD FUSIONS, EMULATIONS AND REFLECTIONS POETRY

Dear Holy Brothers and sisters……innovators of Divine connection….illustrators of sacred expression…..emulators of infinite sensations….reflectors of elaborate interpretations-----look down inside of yourself----feel that you are invincible----and this profound principle is what enables you to see and feel and be real with the soulful truth that carry around with you-----that you are a part of the One Above ----and when you tap into this eternal love that g-d has for you and you have for G-d too-----nothing at all in the World can stop you from sharing that love with one and all and helping to bring all of reality to it's sacred destination

GD MIRRORS US **G-d mirrors us we go high we go low so too does He go we do many we do few He does too

**think good it'll be good as it should when I can see that the reflection of me is what I constantly see in my day to day reality **and the relationships I've built reflect the lackings I've filled by the people who've filled my inner needs and our planted seeds and our good deeds we've done for each other our mutual love for one another **and life and people and G-d is our reflection and the reflection shows us who we are and what we know

FROM MY FLESH I SEE G-D וּ֝מִבְּשָׂרִ֗י אֶֽחֱזֶ֥ה אֱלֹֽוהַּ׃ {Job 19\26] from my flesh I see Gd .....care for it --with ultimate delicacy my soul is a part of G-d .....cling to this bridge to the divine---exclusively my body and soul are the cosmic image of G-d ......notice this human\G-d image in everything---intensively my body is a treasure map offering up well placed hints of how to reveal the soul .....learn the ongoing revelations---continuously

my body is the Temple for my soul .......preserve the sanctity--devoutly my body is the parallel for my upper world body ......be mindful of all the analogies---resolutely my brain is the wisdom of all beings ......be in awe of it's wonderful mystery---enchantedly my eyes are the window to the soul ......look and see closely --endlessly my ears can hear the deepest divine deliberations ......hear what will be --infinitely my heart pumps out the life and love of all of Creation ...... feel the deepest aliveness---elaborately my arms reach out to connect the otherwise unbridgeable .......seek out to give of yourself selflessly -----eternally my reproductive organ reproduces life ........share allness with all in need---passionately my legs take me to the place of divine destiny ......reveal and redeem the holy sparks-----faithfully


THROUGH US

**and the doer of the deed doesn't really ever need to worry about what to do he's sure to make it through when he knows the truth that the sayer and the player is neither me or you It's only Hashem who's doing it through us **and Mr. Dylan once said to the interviewer man who was trying to get inside of his head, '' I just sit down to write and I know it'll all come out allright" **and the ego tries to convince us that it's me who you should celebrate but the great ones know how to let all that go and stand up tall and show us all once and for all that it's not about me or you at all



A HOLY FIRE OF LOVE

there is a holy fire of love a love for all that exists a love that sees no distinctions a love that sees nothing but soul a love that keeps us warm a love of endless delight a love dependent on nothing a love that embraces all creatures a love that sees through the facade a love experienced by those who have penetrated consciousness a love that is fueled by infinite love from The One Above
