Weekly Ludi #16
The limitations of human consciousness are something I’ve found particularly chafing throughout my life...especially these days as things fall apart and minds seem to grow dimmer and smaller. I know it’s not a permanent condition, but having to wait for bodily attrition for the mere taste I’ve had of something further and deeper and vaster is burdensome at times. Weekly Ludi #16 is about a character on one of my albums achieving enlightenment. I am often jealous of him, fiction though he is.

All light enters me, unfettered, unbound and free.
My ego retreats in fright, to an unconscious twilight.
A bursting forth has begun, I begin to see all things as one.
A spark in me catches fire, unchained of all earthly desire.
All time and space flows in me, I dissolve in infinity.
Universal perception and sight, I merge with the source and the light.
Words and symbols lose their meaning,
the universe opens wide.
A burning light opens wide,
erasing my ego, my pride
and in this oncoming tide, I succumb.
Time and space expand and fade,
my comprehension, it grows.
I'm free from the ebb and the flow,
I am the above and below
dissolved in this mounting glow...I awake!
