There Is No Time

1st December 2017 by Larry G. Maguire 2 Comments

There Is No Time

There Is No Time, things just is you see
In the house of my mind where the child I did be.
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, structured things
Are merely of my mind, man's creation brings

Tempus fugit! my old man used to say
Nothing left to the world but my thoughts this day
Flower rock beast and tree, they have no time for me
For they just are

They exist in my mind you see
Much like my whole earth, mountain sky and sea.
None mark this friendless face and wish
They were somewhere else, where they'd be happier…ish

No it's not for me to want for time to pass
for there is no better place for my spirit to last
Than this universe, the one mind has gifted
To one part of the whole

Let my heart be lifted
To the heights of the sky
To the heavens and say
There is no time, just my thoughts this day.

    I call them ‘free downloads’
    (it could be from ‘iCloud’ or something similar … that one mysterious & generous uploader uploads to’….! – don’t worry too much about it : it is a gift or present and gifts and presents are for sharing …
    The gifts we share … the more present we become !!)

    They usually occur between 4 and 6 in the morning:

    Home coming

    Density is dissolving being pried open by the light
    Revelation after revelation is bringing Reality into Now

    Insight after insight is erasing old nightmares from our memories…

    We are coming home as this Land is home to us and we are Home to the Land

    Imagine

    I am what I see and what I see with is my two eyes merged into one eye : my Eye of Consciousness.

    Seeing requires light
    Nothing is seeable without light
    I can train my Eye to total vision allowing light to enter the sphere of my Eye from all directions at once
    Now my Eye sees everything seeable as One

    By gaining capacity for total vision I loose my ability to see any-thing …
    By enlightening my Eye I see
    I am the light
