I had an experience last week.

For an instance, just an instance, in a fast flash,

I was the true self.

In that instance, I saw what the Indian mystics saw.

That only the true self is real.

Everything around us an illusion.

It was as though I was taken from earth

and witnessed it as spirit.

A fast flash, I reached out to capture it,

and it was gone.

But the image, that split second feeling,

that flashing of vision stays with me.

It is most intriguing.

As I continue on this path,

I believe I will see it more,

come to the realization more.

Why, oh soul, are you so immersed

in matters of planet earth.

You pursue things like a child his toys.

Though knowing it is all an illusion.

Here today and gone tomorrow.

But no matter, play on.

Such is spiritual life, when the time is riped,

you will be yank from it.

Further on your path to self-realization,

to attaining to Oneness, enlightenment.

Union with God.
