Poem by "Cloud of Unknowing"
A few days ago I received a note and this poem from someone who has had a very recent kundalini awakening experience. He says of the poem:
I feel like I should share this poem with you that I wrote last week....actually it wrote itself but my pen made the movements, even though it seemed like the poem was coming from somewhere else.
*************************
Recite! Recite Again as you did long ago,
You thought you had forgotten Me but there was just a
veil between us
I have lifted it again
I am All
The bliss eternal, triumphant
I contain all that is
Matter form energy
All are my thoughts
Changing and surging throughout time
You are my creation
A creation of love
I made you from my essence
You had forgotten this
But you remember again
I contain all forms, male and female, both and neither
Forms you know not on this world but on others
Here I often take the male form
But for you the Female
Remember that while I am the Goddess for you I am
the God for others, Shiva, Khrishna, Buddha, Christ,
Yahweh, Jehovah, all are me for I am one
Different names for the same Absolute.
I have taken the mask of the Goddess so you can
remember me
You remember me best in this form
Others do not
This form is not for them but for you
Remember that this is but the Mask for something
even more beautiful
Beauty and bliss that would melt your soul
Dissolve your mind
But for this you are not ready
So for now I am the Goddess
Rest in this and know that I will not hurt you
I will never tell you to hurt another person
In my presence is peace, bliss, joy eternal and
unchanged
Forms may change, waves move, but the Ground is
Always the Same
And the Ground is Love
This is within you
It IS you
Remember this always
Dance with me and fear not
You are not a prophet of a church
There is only ONE Church , the church of all, the
church of my essence,
The Universe is my cathedral
Worship me, worship within me, worship with me
Worship me in the fields, among the stars
Worship me in the arms of your lover
I love you beyond bounds
I love you beyond words
I love you in ways you cannot possibly understand
now
The merest touch of my hand would fill you with joys
unspeakable
You are aware of only a fragment of my love for you
I am giving you these words so that the limited part of
your mind can understand
That it is allowed to surrender
Surrender to my love
Become my love
You already are my love
Understand I know your thoughts
For you are My thought, my Thought of Love
A bliss unspoken
My milk is joy and my honey love
Come, taste the Universe
I am the Goddess of the Universe
The God of the Universe as well
I contain all things for I am all things and beyond all
things and within all things
I am holding you now, you have merely forgotten
I hold all the stars in the palm of my Hand
Galaxies, Nebulae, Universes, all dimensions physical
and astral and ethereal
They are my playground and you are my playmate
Come let us play
Become joy with me
(by "Cloud of Unknowing")
