POEMS OF THE TRUE ONE

        When I was living in small rooms all through the City of Toronto, I started to have
visions of paradise - and not a future
Paradise, either - but a present time living every day paradise. 
        I saw it in the grass around me, in the flowers in their beds, in wild growing plants in the bush, in the stars in the sky, in the blood red
wine in the  crystal goblet, in the swellings of
a beautiful girl. All was part of One all-embracing paradisal glory and Grace that suffused the green shoots of everything.
        I had had that ego annihilation experience,
and I walked in the parks and streets for three days and nights, absorbed in the divinity
of all things. Dark glasses had been removed
from my eyes, dawn was coming, and I saw the chastity of  our Father, the Creating One,
in all things.
      After my Realization ( foundation experience) I walked in a new heaven and earth. The immaculate cosmos shone forth
everywhere... I guess it was my eyes that had been new.
       There is no explaining such events. I can only say that the Liberation experience is here,
and it can be found by anyone who is willing
to give up enough in the inner search, so as to find the meaning of Identity.

      During this experience I wrote a chapter in what I'll call The Poet's Testament. The fact of the matter is - I though I was writing a New Testament with the guidance of the Father.
       I've been to jail several times. I thought I'd be killed or jailed again if I called the book,
THE NEW TESTAMENT, so I backed off
and reduced the name.

       In this period, also, I wrote "The Father Poems", which I have just discovered in my files once again.
       I'll publish one of these poems here,
if I may.

Here's one:


        Father, when I am worthy

to write such poems
        
       Let me find the poems

of the True one.
        
         For as you are the Father, Lord,
         
         I would be your son.
         
         And as you are true, Father,

I would be a true one and

write the Word of Truth.


         There are many spirits,

Father, in the Psyche's Dark.

But I would lift your light high,

Father, if I am worthy...
         
        If it shall be, Father, Father let it be.


        Father, when I am worthy

to write such poems

        Let me find the poems

of the True One.

MY NOTES FOR THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS GROUP ON FACEBOOK

                           ***
   "He who drinks the bubbling waters from my mouth
Shall become as I am. and I shall be he,
And the hidden things shall be revealed to him."

This is a core teaching for the earliest Christians, Gnostic Christians. It also shows a Buddhist influence.(Joseph Campbell remarked on this) Thomas was the disciple who went to India. Also, there were Buddhist monks in the middle east.

In reality, the two religions are not as far apart as they have been portrayed to be. The Christ, "teacher", "master" as expressed in the Gospel of Thomas is witness to this fact. The Gospel of Thomas is largely made up of question and answer sessions between disciples and Christ the "Master."

Question: "Where is the kingdom of heaven?"
Answer: "If you think it is in the sky, the birds will precede you. If you think it is in the sea, the fish will precede you.
The Kingdom of heaven is spread out upon the earth and men see it not."
The Gospel of Thomas.

The similarity to question and answer sessions between Zen master and monks - is striking to me.

　In fact, when Christ was teaching (He may in fact have been called "The Teacher of Righteousnes", a leader from the Essene community - crucified approximately 65 B.C) He was teaching both exoteric and esoteric forms
of his teaching. The article below, "lies vs actuality" touches more on his esoteric teachings, which the Gnostics were very aware of..."the secret teachings", which the Roman Church refused to assimilate.

Notes for THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS group on Facebook (cont.)

_________________________________________________

"This is the gospel of the one who was searched for. And the seeker,
once enlightened, can no longer be found."

When Christ "healed the blind", he was bringing light to the darkness of their oblivion. He was giving them 'enlightenment'.

"The dead went to Jerusalem and did not find what they sought. So they returned to Alexandria, and started asking questions of me." Basilides.

When Jesus "raised the dead" - 'the dead' were the ones who had not as yet found realization. Gnosis means knowledge - the earliest Christians were searching for the "Knowing" experience.

But this was not your purpose - to be a special exceptional hero on behalf of the temporal authorities. Your purpose was to dissolve into the seeker and have the seeker dissolve into you, until there were not two identities, but only one.
This is the meaning of holy communion. It is the meaning of the Eucharist as well.

"SO IT IS WITH THOSE THAT GOD HAS DYED. SINCE HIS DYES ARE IMMORTAL, THEY BECOME IMMORTAL, BY MEANS OF HIS COLOURS." Gospel of Truth
　
"He was nailed to a tree and he became fruit of the knowledge. It did not, however, cause destruction because it was eaten, but to those who ate it,
it gave cause to become glad in the discovery, and he discovered them in
in himself, and they discovered him in themselves."
