As the blossom vanishes into fruit,
so I vanish - to the Divine as It grows as me.
I behold God's gleaming splendor,
no longer caught in the blur
between dream and reality.
Seeing the blazing light in everything,
I know that I know and that I don't know.

Dissolving the delusions of the will
and snares of the heart,
I allow the pull to enlightenment lead me,
realizing an indomitable strength,
a perfect love that casts out any fear.
The shroud of illusion becomes thinner and thinner
as the inevitable process of the evolution of my consciousness
leads me to the state of pure knowing.

Breaking the bonds of the ego's self-identification,
I release memories that once clouded me,
this terrestrial existence now becomes clearer.
In the middle of my journey to enlightenment,
I've already arrived, expressing without labor, strife,
or without imitating anyone who I truly am.
I do not barter Truth for trifles.

No longer pandering to falsely veiled desires,
the illusionary world is transformed by the inner flames of silence.
Extricated from the attachment to concepts and secrecy,
I feel the gravitational pull
to the spiritual treasures I've squandered,
recognizing they've always been here with me.

Exuberant in this rediscovery,
I am flawlessly directed by Divine influence.
Re-acclimating myself to that which I am,
my compassion grows in the eternal present ever sweeter,
and the dissolved veils of illusion reveal the inner temple
where I joyously come face to face with myself, at last.
And so it is.

Dr. Christian Sorensen
