A Glimpse of the Universe

This article is about my personal reflections on meditation and contemplation. I've always been fascinated by what Eastern Philosophy introduced to the West in the early 60's. The Silva Mind Control Method by Jose Silva and Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain have also influenced me in the same way, which triggered my spiritual journey. The spin I put on the poem is my own imagination.
The Universe Behind the Fogs
At twilight, my bedside clock
ticks by and even as my body
is at rest, my mind is in a
whirl, thick with a faint tableau
depicting my day's humdrum
wanderings.
Behold. The images I see are
like wraiths flashing up on my
mental screen, one after the
other in quick succession!
Hark. I hear distractions, too,
like waves breaking on my
inner shore and drowning out
the mantra I hum!
But oh, so sweet is the
aroma of incense wafting
through the air as if merging
with prana which I breathe
with undulating rhythm!
Then, when the fogs clear up,
as always, I will slip into deep
and dreamless oblivion, into
a silent void, another dimension
where our thoughts crisscross
and travel across the universe.
And where we will remember
that in the beginning, there was
and still is only one of us.

Nope, I'm not a song composer. Just a classical music junkie. Thanks for the compliment, kabs. Ingatz.
