Basic Eternal Essence...

Forgetting that Being,
you are lost
into the process
of becoming.

You get tied up
with becoming
something
all the time.
you want to be this,
you want to be that.

You don't want to end
the becoming
into Being,
wherein lies the whole secret
of becoming.

Becoming is itself not an independent
something.
it's a radiation of Being,
it's a projection of Consciousness,
that basic eternal Essence
which Thou art.
