I wonder who created the creator?
If you tell me that the creator always was,
I ask, why can’t it be that creation too always was?
You exclaim that the very word creation indicates that it was created.
I ask, but does the word creator indicate that He was never created?
We will soon realize that we are only quibbling over words.
So the creator is only a word to indicate our ignorance.
But we are not meant to be ignorant.
Let the unknown be ‘x’, or let us say ‘God’.
How do we discover God?
Can God ever be seen?
Yes He can, here and now, but first within.
What is within?
Consciousness is what is within.
Is God consciousness?
Yes, He is.
And you know what? We are also consciousness.
We are the God we worship.
Let us stop this idol worship.
For God is not separate from us.
We are verily God.
We are the creator and the created.
Consciousness is not just the within.
It is also the without.
Everything is God.
We are everything.
Everything is one.
Dear Anjuli, I've a question. It is sometimes difficult to make out whether a writer, particularly in writing poetry, is writing of his or her own experience or the experience of the made up protagonist. For example, if the poet says that she is going through much suffering - "These days I suffer a lot for no fault of mine." Can the reviewer here tell the poet, “Better days will come by.”. (If by the "I" here the poet means the protagonist, then of course, we have no need to sympathize with the poet.) But how can we know?
Your first paragraph is memorable. But from then on, I am afraid I am unable to figure out what you are driving at. Did you mean to ask, "What is it that I really want?" If I have paraphrased you correctly, then you are right - the answers are lying deep inside us.
Frontierman, take a deep look within your self. If you see therein answers, do share it with us. Following your cue, I shall continue to do likewise, for I must confess I am already something of a 'within peeper'.
I saw the slides too. It is an awesome sight, set against the pitch-dark background. To this newly started ritual may be added a scene of Phoenix being reborn from the ashes. When the flame dies down, lo and behold - a flash of light and there rises the bird again. (Probably could be effectively done with a lazer display.)
Diane, you have commendably broadcast this ritual of Phoenixville to a larger audience. Good job.
Judity, nice knowing you. When you said you've written a mainstream novel, I could see there are novels and novels and then mainstream novels too! I peeped into Home of the Red Fox site and with a sampling taste of one chapter, it’s clear that you have served quite a feast. With appetite whetted, I am going to go back for more.
I have neither heard Neil Diamond or seen Crime Scene Investigation but as you come through your writings as a discerning person, the loss is mine.
Incidentally, if you readers wanted to know more about you, that's not because of any perverted reason, but only because they wanted to know the heart behind the gifted mind and imagination. I can see that yours is an enchanted life. How many can retire early to be amidst the most noble of things - words? Great going, Judity.
It would make a homourous scene in the hands of a director who shares your imagination. You must have written it in a hurry though, as your script is full of spelling mistakes.
Bob County, may your imagination soar and may we have an opportunity to see it on the big screen!
The subject you have chosen is a great subject to ponder upon. According to me, it is all about awakening - awakening to one's full consciousness. It is almost an eternal awakening where we keep waking up deeper and deeper into the 'is-ness' of things. This is a journey without a destination - the destination is the journey itself. How do we awaken? We don't have to do a thing for it. We are ever awakening deeper and deeper into the infinitesimal and infinite. Somewhere along the journey, we become conscious of our awakening. That is the moment our joyousness begins. Thenceforth, life is a journey of joy.
MoodyTeen, you write well and you have a sense of humour - big bang started it all, but what started the big bang! Keep pondering and writing and life would be a journey of joy.
A review is an expression of the effect the writing has had on the reviewer. He may wish to comment on the language or the subject or the approach and even the attitude of the writer. The writer may have triggered something and the reviewer may go nostalgic or he may have provoked the reviewer and then the reviewer launches a counter-attack! Whatever, the reviewer should not be either condescending towards the writer or over-awed, even if he thinks he is reviewing a potential D.H. Lawrence.
In short, a review must simply be a natural response of the reviewer to what he has read.
In my review of your brief essay on review, dear The StoryMaster, I have not analysed your writing or even commented on it directly on any aspect. Reading you, I have been prompted to myself write on the subject of reviewing. This proves your writing has moved me. Need I say more?
How do we reach the region of the sub-conscious 95%? You have introduced the subject. Now you would do well to explore and write about the world you would come across when you walk on the hidden terrain deep within us. I have written on a similar topic in my small piece "Writing to get to the Truth". Please read and comment.
Meanwhile, you have done a good job, creative writer, in introducing a great subject.
