Amanita Cloud

For centuries the Sacred Mushroom Ritual
Has been a vehicle for reaching Eternity.
We need not risk physical ingestion,
And the possible effects of its deadly poison,
If we symbolically see this visual keyhole
As showing us the way to that other world
Far beyond our day to day comprehension.

From the Center of Being II
```
When the inner Voice of Conscience
Began questioning Man’s actions
It redirected his attention
To the dimensionless center
Of his expanding consciousness

Ethereal Love
```
Wherever I go,
It remains so. . .
    At my side
    You walk,
    In my mind
    We talk.

Children of the Sun XII

If they are unwilling
Or unable to accept
The opportunity
Of the gift now offered
It will be presented
Again and yet again
As it has time after time
Following the agony
Of climbing back to face
Their current dilemma
And again be confronted
By the fear of losing
Individuality
In the ocean of Oneness

Venus

After many centuries in abeyance
The winds of Venus are blowing
To again wreak havoc in our lives.

Red, yellow and blue planetary visions
Kaleidoscopically change in minutes,
Sending cracks through our emotional core
And chilling the superficial warmth
Of all shallow rooted relationships.

Well Traveled Road

You tell me
That by walking the same road,
You see more each time.
Possibly. . .
Minute details appear
That your mind was unable
To comprehend the first,
Second or third time.
But does that logically erase
The possibility of another route?
I wonder what an alternate path
Has to offer?

Paths I, xii

There came this man from Galilee
   Showing life’s direction with Love; 
   Some say he could walk on water,
   God’s emissary from above,
While in His name some charge a fee
   To purge others from mortal sin.
      He has been taken into battle,
      Worshipped from palace to gutter,
      And although the debates still rattle,
   His flame burns outside and within.
He points to Immortality
   With the Christ Consciousness to win. . .
   Our choice is fall, or to begin.

“The gift was not given”
```
The gift was not given
For obligatory purposes
On either side.
Twas given denoting
A temporary abundance
On the part of the giver—
Who knows,
Later the tables may be turned.

“The time has been reached”
```
The time has been reached,
The limit surpassed,
For the games of old
Reoccur at last.

You try so hard,
Though you’ve failed before
To bridge the stream
And open the door.
