Sitting in stillness

I sit, still as a statue, on a chair, left leg over right.

And sink deep into the depths of my being.

And look at the spot where my third chakra is.

What do I see?

I see Buddhist monks sitting in meditation, hours on end.

It takes discipline, endurance.

The longer one sits, the deeper one goes.

And then, there is oblivion and non being.

One is lost in infinity.

Times cease to register and everything is at a standstill.

That is what is called a no self.

The self no longer is, only infinity is.

The soul is empty, the mind is empty.

With no self, there is no need to think or even to be.

Lost in that infinity.

Lost in a deep silence.

In that silence is existence.

Suspended in time and space, one simply is.

The breathing eases, one could slow down breath,

To where it is hardly breathing.

One just is, in this space, deeper and deeper.

There is no other awareness.

Just this deep space within.

One has reached the spirit form.

Which is a full emptiness.

Empty to human perception,

fullness to the spirit.

This is why Buddhism does not have a God.

The tangible God that we have,

who is God in three, three in one,

who hears and listens to our prayers.

That is not what they experience.

They experience this emptiness of being.

When the self cease to exist.

And they are one with that empty space,

Who is fullness of being.

We call it God. 

What do they call it?

It is a consciousness that grips the soul.

This consciousness just is.

It is there for everything and everyone.

It is our essence.

This means all who seek it are able to find it.

To experience it.

It takes however dedication, desire which not all have.

But when touched by the spirit.

When awaken then there is that longing, desire,

For this something higher.

Beyond all senses and in the spirit.

It is the spirit in us, the God is us.

Once awakened, it draws us inexorably to itself.

It takes us over.

And we can only be taken over.

Bit by bit it breaks down all resistance.

Like water sloshing over stones, rocks in the stream.

Clearing everything in its path.

So the almighty that works in our soul.

Soul and spirit, what is soul, what is spirit?

That is for another day as I sit and look at my third eye chakra.
