A Penetrating Approach
Illuminated meaning
involves philosophical problems
multiple juxtapositions
contrasts ideas objects
harmonizing apparent disassociation.
Certain subjective objectives
conveyed convincingly
symbolize
other conclusive objects
ethical logical metaphysical ideas.
Perceived with clarity purity
representing perfect symmetry
impatterned imprinted embossed culturally
easily recognizable symbolism
conceived in human conceptions.
Confronting partially observed
presently unknowable universe.
Knowledge is error displacement
evolving displacement of continuously
contrasted comprehended scientific facts.
Beware the ode to moments
of eureka! Classical Greek concept
knowledge plucked inspiration ally
attained when attuned to omniscient
omnipotent universal consciousness.

Objective knowledge, the idea of unity included, belongs to objective consciousness. The forms which express this knowledge when perceived by subjective consciousness are inevitably distorted and, instead of truth, they create more and more delusions. With objective consciousness it is possible to see and feel the unity of everything. But for subjective consciousness the world is split up into millions of separate and unconnected phenomena. Attempts to connect these phenomena into some sort of system in a scientific or philosophical way lead to nothing because man cannot reconstruct the idea of the whole starting from separate facts and they cannot divine the principles of the division of the whole without knowing the laws upon which this division is based.

Even scientific knowledge, if there is anything to it, is not a random observation of random objects; for the critical objectivity of significant knowledge is attained as a practice only philosophically in inner action.

Transcendentalism According To Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson
believed the concept...
that “God was in man
and in a sense
that God was man”
to individuals born
to achieve
the fulfillment of God’s
purpose! By working
towards attainment
of the divine or Over-Soul
throughout their lives...
Transcendentalism
according to Emerson
thus stresses spiritual realities
within the human embodiment
because our intuitive thoughts
could guide us to knowledge of
higher spiritual truth...
but not conceived as a versimilitude
of realism because a truthlikeness
as a quality of realism in arts literature
films is only a created slice of realism!
Emerson’s desire to focus upon objects
in nature that surround us
to reflect upon events occurring in our lives
and their universal purpose
(to attain knowledge of these events is Greek
observation) as an aid when
correctly applied for the advancement of human
evolution towards higher
planes of existence (in self advancement Buddhism?)
I however claiming blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ
shall ascend directly into Perfection in Heaven.

Scientific Humanity Created In God’s Image
God creator

ethnic groups
different cultures
across millennia’s

No human being
can understand
what a creator

on cosmic scale
or atomic scale.
Scientific humanity
created in God’s image
aspires to divinity

One Who Never Learned
read the bitter drab critic
spewing forth acid words
ridicule contempt condemnation
poured contemptuously out upon
innocent wise naive fellow
poets still giving expanding
learning their craft gifting
their insights thoughts perceptions
love in libation streams of words
laboured played out in solo effort
to express individualistic feelings
inscribed upon experiences learned
offerings ruthlessly attacked
in vile impolite ignorance
in ruthless rude renditions
by Mad Perverse poetaster stalker
one who never learned
universal poetic secret
of truly mind opening poetry
the great strength power wonder
hidden in multiple vision forms
expressed in orgasmic creative poetry
lies in reader thought felt interaction
meaning each reader gleams instinctive
in moments of eureka instantaneous
perception personalized meaning
streaming in intuitively perceived
at individual vibration rate thought
it matters not how accurate data
attained can be conceived expressed
a child perceives in images adults
can no longer feel access imagine
a universal language exists accessed
attuned to needs of each questing
soul in stages of growth as desired
as each soul walks path lead unique

IMMENSELY DEAR (Revised)
A personal favourite is Symbolism, I prefer
symbolic special objects to the real, love the
purity of crystals with their ethereal power;
yet to convince me thoroughly snowflakes
need only ersatz imitation crystals
Charmed by symbolism of religious books
but dry catechisms are abhorrent – love the
significance of diamonds but do not want the
real thing – only symbols to magnify light,
the diamond itself is much too cold
Preferring as a child to play with boxes
and twigs clad in tinsel representing houses
and magic wands – anything suggesting
what it might be, then becoming whatever
I dream – drawn inexorably,
I love glitter – it says sunlight is creating
pearls and crystals of delicate things like
cobwebs and streams, I love the diamonds
seen on sprigs of grass early in spring but
do not try to entice me with real pearls
Diamonds or precious crystals are real and
cannot morph into other objects, although
I love seeing them behind glass in expensive
shops; but for my satisfaction I want only
symbols of these beloved objects,
I adore small fairies made from artificial
materials, not golden statues of saints and
angels – want to imagine what a thing might
represent – such symbolism is immensely
dear to me…

To Quell
I quell the masses with poetry,
Opening blameless ideas like fire and ice,
Your light is lived in, inside the spectrum,
Once positions are guaranteed.
Fully developed societies may collapse
Without my poetry and verse.
The sufferer of my prose is exactly perfect,
He or she combines intelligently the matters.
To sway the masses we all enjoy,
Picking the right sort of objects
When vandalism objects to our living.

Sonnet: On Knowledge
Knowledge is one thing priceless, people want;
Knowledge is something gained by labor long;
Knowledge is infinite; master, you-can't;
Knowledge is changeable, much like a song.
Knowledge is deeper than the oceans deep;
Knowledge is larger than the Universe;
Knowledge is barely in life, just a peep;
Knowledge if badly used becomes God's curse.
Knowledge remains undiminished, tho' you- share;
Knowledge gives man, a civilised outlook;
Knowledge if improper, you ought to pare;
Knowledge is gained from Nature and by book.
Knowledge can make a man a wiser one;
Knowledge gives Wisdom in the longer run.

What Their Faith Will Prove To Be? Stream Of Consciousness
we all lack knowledge of God I have no idea what your knowledge of God
is aspects of God's personality are described in the Bible but no human being can understand what an omniscient omnipotent omnipresent God is or can do on a cosmic scale or atomic scale only God can know how any individual
will act in response to conditions of extreme stress and what their faith will prove to be in such situations this is self explanatory therefore why do you interpret personally? personality infused with holy spirit seeks no arguments

The impartiality which, in contemplation, is the unalloyed desire for truth, is the very same quality of mind which, in action, is justice, and in emotion is that universal love which can be given to all, and not only to those who are judged useful or admirable. Thus contemplation not only enlarges the objects of our thoughts, but also the objects of our actions and our affections: it makes us citizens of the universe, not only of one walled city at war with the rest. In this citizenship of the universe consists man's true freedom, and his liberation from the thralldom of narrow hopes and fears.

Poem Composed On The Toilet
what great gifts may come
from but a brief sit down
ideas illuminating are not
bound in time and space
limited to places of import
or limited to auspicious occasions
ideas are conceived even in
stolen moments insignificant spaces
no this poem was got you not
composed on the needed toilet
process of attending to details
dots required mental facilities
a classical statute the thinker
an example of muddled thought
boxing through aged difficulties
toilet was red herring time out

There is a very remarkable inclination in human nature to bestow on external objects the same emotions which it observes in itself, and to find every where those ideas which are most present to it.

Does God There Us Await?

perceive Quantum Theory

is composed of objects
whose existence

decrees key to reality
reality is state of mind
quantum mechanics
decrees basic components

beyond this life pod

Eyes Telling Multiple Mysteries (part three of Certain Knowledge Know)
His face is old now old and weathered by time
battered by elements mishaps the odd hand,
a face telling intriguing many layered stories.
A face evoking long lived life distinguishing
in every timeworn, etched evolving wrinkle,
slight change in profile, etched characteristic;
events marking bloody birth of numerous nations,
monumental decisions, progressive undercurrents.
With eyes telling multiple mysteries
they have suffered, been and seen,
knowing well amoral human heart
its vulgarities, depths of perversity.
Eyes looking through heart soul
stripping naked concealed secrets, at mere glance,
eyes that hold yet cannot be met,
knowing; demanding eyes, undeniably piercing.
Eyes leaving you speechless, breathless,
burning with resilient defiant fire,
though indisputably kind; infinitely gentle,
forgiving normal human shortcomings.
His face was a face even gods
would look upon, twice at in wonder,
when blessed ethereal light shone,
upon his mesmerizing countenance.
Oh how countless years faded,
restored life, regenerated vitality,
upon him swiftly spiritually bloomed;
while still seen, even more clearly,
great age, knowledge skillfully chiseled;
into those unmistakable ravaged features.

The True Character Of God Revealed
Facts the true character of God is unchanging
God is omniscient omnipotent omnipresent
all knowing all powerful present everywhere
continuously simultaneously present throughout
whole of creation at the same instant of time
possessing complete unlimited universal power
authority Satan but limited power on God’s leash.
The only limitation
upon the power
of God
is limitations
God imposes
upon himself.
What God has said
what God has written
in his word
the inspired word
of God the Bible
is all going to occur.
As God has said
so will it be done
on earth as in heaven
unto you unto
an entire inhabited
God created world.

Truth Resides Not In The World But With God
Insight beyond opinion

or false is revealed time
corrective realities

revelation from God?
Where is truth?
Truth resides
not in the world
but with God.
Only God knows
ultimate truth
reveals truth

at right angles
are laid layers

None have absolute

global manipulation
of facts truth
except when God
reveals such truth
to any omnipotent

omniscient God

The Sum Total Of What Is Known
Knowledge limit may be a dangerous thing?
Actual constructive knowledge lances...
with willful purpose intent blindness.
Truth or falsity information awareness?
Indites cause direct knowledge of a matter...
dictates a reasonable person inquire further.
The sum of what is known
is in truth a state of limitation
corpus body of truths or facts
accumulated over course of time
acquaintance gained by sight
experience or learned studied report
facts truths principles investigation
perception clear mental apprehension.
Experts research creating new boundaries
horizons involving using disseminating
special knowledge cloistered information
classified epiphany eureka manifestation.
