Book Description
Poetry is a journey into mysterious realms at the borders of reason and imagination. I am drawn by the misty places between worlds, between the public outer world of shared and common experience and the private inner world of personal vision and intimation. There I look for some uncommon but universal piece of the puzzle that joins our isolated souls. Somewhere beneath the surface, behind the faade, in the borderlands is a ribbon of truth, as elusive as it is essential. To get a glimpse of it I have to sleep with my eyes open, waken within the dream, believe nothing Ive been told, and walk the dark night with an expectation of miracles. With every breath I feel one coming on.

Coming to My Senses

Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Book Description Coming to My Senses is a collection of old and new poems written over many years in many places. So it is a kind of anthology of my works to date. In putting it together I looked for common elements in order to group the poems, and found five directions that the poems take: Seeking Passage is about moving through changes in life, looking forward or backward and recognizing the need for change. Of Love and Loss is self explanatory poems responding to the heartache of love and memories gone. Diversions & Reflections are poems of response to the moment, creative outbursts responding to the moment. alludes to the sources of ideas and inspiration, and includes poems exploring the poets role and identity. Coming to my Senses is about finding my place in the here and now through the poetic experience. It is the summing up of my understanding that poetry is not an escape, a frill or a crutch, but a discovery of a deeper reality through giving attention to the sense of the moment. In The Preface I comment: Writing poems for me has always been an experiment, an extension of awareness, a searching into the internal life of emotion and thought. It has been a practice in reawakening the language by seeking novel ways to put words together, not just for the game of wordplay, but to refocus the mind by bringing attention to the words themselves and the things they point to to see them strangely new, to hear them create music through their rhythm and sound. To gently shake the reader awake, to see in front of them an image perhaps from a dream that may not make much sense, but there it is, in wonder and artistry. There is something still marvelous and meaningful in the world even in its uncertain and elusive presence; if this is not the stuff of poetry, I dont know what is. Poetry, for me then, is a search and a celebration, a revelation, not an explanation or a comment on the world, but rather a discovery of the inner life of thought and consciousness a coming to my senses and a reawakening of something with reverence. The poetic moment is a moment that begins and ends in the minds silence, and within that silence is a wide world of timeless utterances, subtle responses and the feeding roots of new ideas. The poetic moment is what ties philosophy to the real world, what demands religion from the questing soul, and what unveils the deeper values in an otherwise common and habitual world. These poems are records of some of these moments. They are meditations and reflections more than they are compositions. The form each poem takes arises from the moment that still point of the turning world from the attempt to dissolve the outer consciousness and reach a pure state of cognition, the origin of the question: What is it in this life that seeks for something more? There is something wistful in each attempt to find an answer, and though the answer is in the end a mystery we must not forget that moment of illumination in which we first discovered that mystery gives birth to imagination who, like a child, gleams at every new thing.

Pages : 82
Book Description
Playing with Words is a double-concept album with four sides of an interrelated theme. The acoustic side explores the ways words add layers to our experiences. The electric side reveals the tensions between words and their meanings, especially when the words strike out on their own and the connection between the writer and the word breaks down. In the third side, the writer disappears. The fourth side is a return to the cosmos through myth, history, mystery, and spirit. Sometimes it might seem audacious, but its mostly just playing with words.

“Conversing with the spirits?

The Fragile Absolute
Author: Slavoj Zizek
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1844673022
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
One of the signal features of our era is the re-emergence of the ‘sacred’ in all its different guises, from New Age paganism to the emerging religious sensitivity within cultural and political theory. The wager of Žižek’s The Fragile Absolute – published here with a new preface by the author – is that Christianity and Marxism can fight together against the contemporary onslought of vapid spiritualism. The revolutionary core of the Christian legacy is too precious to be left to the fundamentalists.

Book Description
"God's Physics": A New Science Transforming the World & Our Life Science is currently undergoing a profound "Paradigmatic-Shift" from the Old "Material-Causal" Paradigm of 20th Century's Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics to the New "God's Physics" Paradigm: Succinctly stated, 'God's Physics' replaces our old way of looking at the world as created by a "random Big-Bang" nuclear explosion towards an exciting new realization that our entire physical universe, our bodies and minds, and our total physical and human existence are all being continuously created by a singular higher "Universal Consciousness Reality" – 'God'! Yes, according to this New 'God's Physics' Paradigm there exists a singular higher 'Universal Consciousness Reality' which "produces", "remembers", "sustains" and "evolves" every small "pixel" in our entire physical universe – including our own body and mind, helps and encourages us to lead a moral, purposeful and meaningful life! Indeed, according to this New 'God's Physics' understanding of the world, everything in our universe, e.g., from the tiniest cells in our bodies, every atom in the universe, every rock, plant, animal or human being – are all being produced and re-produced a "billion-billion-billion" times (per second!) by this singular higher 'Universal Consciousness Reality' (UCR), i.e., 'God'! Indeed, this profound new scientific discovery comes along with the realization that this singular higher 'Universal Consciousness Reality' cares about our own 'moral-choices', evolves every small 'pixel' in the universe as well as us as (intelligent conscious) human beings towards leading a Moral, Spiritual Existence within an "awakened" New Morally and Spiritually Perfected World! Therefore, the discovery of this new (exciting) "God's Physics" not only resolves the biggest unresolved "Scientific Enigma" that Einstein was working on for half of his illustrious scientific career – but also completely transf
