There is
just this witness to
observe
both inside and outside
the body-mind.
There is
this detachment
and I am not identified
with either.
It feels like my mind
and my body can be
perceived objectivity
and that constitutes there is
no real subjective self.
The consciousness has
shifted,
and the soul is.
It hits me.
I am dying is
the act of surrender.
This surrender is
the experience of death.
There is
no interfering with it,
no commenting on it,
and no manipulating it.
No more struggle
no more effort,
because both are hopeless.
In the now death is
and I give up.
I have no choice.
A door is opening,
hallowed into feeling
I have lost it all,
and in the moment is
this inner experience
of Surrender.
My soul naturally
unfolds within this
dis-identification
of the mind.
This pure awareness
forces attention
through the mind.
This pure awareness is
attention to what is.
This liberation of
consciousness
purely is.
My ego surrenders is
this process of dying.
It is the level of the soul,
entering the Holy.
The past, present, future
quiver and Life is.
Divine Awareness is,
Christ is.
