Transmutation Riddles & Poems

Perseus Says

If your attention
Is all over the shop
Medusa’s head
Can never be lopped
Off

 

Scared of the Dark

Avoiding the shadows
At all costs
Guarantees we’ll remain lost
In the pain
And the false euphoria
Of our self-created
Phantasmagoria

 

Adventure of a Lifetime

The heroes with
A thousand faces
Take the long-neglected
Highways
Of the inner world

 

Warlord

Retrospection
Goes to war
With the infection
Of ignorance
And rejection

 

Sungazing

Even renowned warriors
Can’t look Medusa
In the eyes
Without being
Petrified
Perseus’ shield
Of revelation
Made in the forge
Of non-identification

 

Eyes Wide Shun

Avoiding working
With negative emotions
Ensures continued devotion
To endless, useless, repetitive
Fantasy
Anything but cosmic
Reality

 

Swimming in a Fish Bowl

Ignorance, aversion
And craving
Moment by moment
Generating
Unavoidable suffering

 

Heaven and Hell

Who is identified
With negative emotions?
An angel or
A demon?

 

Flatline

You cannot fly high
Without looking up
At the sky
Buried treasure
Cannot be found
Without digging down

 

Mirror-Phobic

Daily self-examination,
And transmutation
Of negative emotions ?
Not on your life !
I prefer to live
A life of trouble
And strife

 

Brick Wall

I never question
Who I am
That would be letting
The cat out of the bag

 

I like your powers of observation ! In ice cold water it feels like it's burning the skin. I also read somewhere (I'll let you know where if you're interested) that contraction, upon reaching its extreme point, gives rise to heat. And heat, in turn, produces expansion which ultimately gives rise to cold, which in turn causes contraction, and so on.

Some relapses seem to come out of nowhere, don't they ? And sometimes we know they are on their way. Well, if we can start to get into the deeper levels of our subconscious then we can know their source.

 

Prison Break

Do I want to be chasing
Fleeting pleasures
Forever?
The pull of gravity
Is so strong
Let’s sing the six syllable
Song

 

Blinded by the Dark

Refusing to explore
95% of the mind
Ignoring the gold
In the goldmine

 

Legion

If God is presence
Then who is distraction?
Do you have a sovereign will
Or warring factions?

 

War in Heaven

If God is reality
Then who is fantasy?
Which one is unsatisfactory?
Which one is repetitive banality?
Which one makes us truly
Unhappy?

 

Free Will

If we truly have
A free will
We always act in accordance
With our high ideal

 

Quest-ions

How was King Arthur
Able to draw the sword
From the stone?
What gives density
To the bones?
What wakes a serpent
And sends it back home?
