To One and All... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The poems in the following * POEMS09.HTM * file have been arranged in the order they have been written. The depth and nature of the poems therefore indicate the changes the author experienced during the time they were produced. There are more than 540 poems and the quality between the first ones and the last ones is remarkable! Many of the poems practically wrote themselves and all I had to do was sit still long enough for them to come through. At the time I was totally amazed where they all came from. Often I thought that I had become that good all of a sudden. This naturally is not so, for all I did was function as an instrument or channel of the Soul I really am. I hope that many of these poems speak to the Soul you are, and if so; they really come from you! The poems in all their "simplicity and profoundness" form a course in metaphysics just by themselves. It is possible therefore to go through them one by one, and learn more than by reading a stack of books. The poems in these files are aspects of my Higher Self and with great pleasure do I hereby dedicate them: - To the World of Man and his Infinite Endeavours - Only because of the steady performance of my Benefactors have my poems been realized. Humbly I acknowledge the great changes and growth that took place within me in the years 1979 to 1984. Sincerely yours, Gerardus Everardus Tros -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- FROM WHERE I SHARE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whether I am one of the many... or whether I am the 'top' of a few It would not matter the least of all if I could not share the ONE I am. For it is the 'sharing'... of the ONE I am that determines whether I belong to... the many... the few... or the 'top'. For only when I share... do I know that I am there. And do not ask... from where I share. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09178-1980 DIVINITY IN PEACE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is not... that the Part that is God and the Part that isn't do not want to cease to Struggle. It is just... that the Part that is and the Part that isn't God cannot surrender to... the Completeness of Peace. For the 'two' Parts are still two. But the God-Part... is blending more and more... within the Oneness of Me. And by the Flowing Together of the slowly indistinguishable Parts Godness will be my Becoming. And Godness is Sameness... within the Oneness of Beingness within 'that' what I am. Beyond Time and Space. Beyond knowing where and when. But all within the Moment of Nowness within the God I am. Portraying... Divinity in Peace. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09179-1882 CUTE AND SMALL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am Love... and I do give it to the Greatest of them all. I am Love... and I do share it with the Children Cute and Small. For in our World... so full of smugness In our World... so quite insane I come and go... in Silent Goodness and hug the Sick... to be Humane. And all the cuddling... and all the hugging I give in Love... to them in need. I make them grow... in Self and Loving... the Total Man... the Human Breed. For I am Love... and I do give it to the Greatest of them all. For I am Love... and I do share it... with the Children... Cute and Small. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09180-1980 WITH THE SILENCE OF KNOWING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The World of Books... and the World of Words... you might know... will never bring you Peace. For Peace... is born within. Deep within the Self... by Struggle... that is conquered by winning the War Within. So in the Days ahead... and in the Chaos yet to come please remember my Friend... that you are not the World and that the World is not you. You only live here upon this World to find the Peace Within... by Thoughts of Peace for Yourself and for your Brother Man. So... go then... in Love and Peace... with the Silence of Knowing. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09181-1980 THE FEELINGS OF THE HEART ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you can understand me with your Heart... for sure it is to blow your Mind. And if you follow me in Mind... your Heart will hurt and die. So do not listen with your Mind. But hear my Words with your Heart. For listening is but Mind-Stuff and Division... while hearing is Heart-Stuff... and Oneness. So find the Reflection of yourself within through the encounter of your Heart that's hearing the Words I Speak to the you... you are... about the you within. Hear them with the Feelings of the Heart about the Experiences of Life. And never listen to the Pictures of Mind... depicting the Shifting of Divisions. For Heart is Spirit.... feeling. And Mind is but Mind is but Mind. Useless in producing Feelings... the Feelings of the Heart. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09182-1980 MENTALITY IN SEARCH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HAPPINESS... a word so very few understand For most of us are looking for it. Most of us want Happiness. And He... who is looking for it will never find it. For he is too busy looking. And as long as you are busy looking... Happiness is impossible to find. For it always is... where you just did not look yet. And instantly moves to where you just looked. So quit looking... and you will experience it. For Happiness is... Peace of Mind. And Peace of Mind... is not just a substitute. Peace of Mind is the REAL thing. Peace of Mind is REST. And looking for Happiness is wanting. Wants are Desires. The Opposites of Peace. To look for Happiness... is a thing of the Mind. And Minds only fulfill themselves... with the Fulfillments of the same Nature... Mentality in Search. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09183-1980 TO FIND YOUR TRUTH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be born... is to enter your own Dream. You are the Dreamer. Your Dream then is your Creation. For You... in manners you are not aware of... are... the God and Creator... of your own Being... and your own Life. Your Parents are but the Channels... of your Physical Becoming. And you... coming into your Body are the Entity that enters Physical Reality to learn. To learn about YOU. To learn about LIFE. You are the Creator of the Life you are... and of the Life you are living. You are... the Dreamer and the Creator... that creates your Life... that creates your Being... that creates the God you are. And unless your Parents tell you the same as the above... do not believe what you are told. For the Channels... that brought you in the Body... are but your Channels. And not necessarily... your Teachers. You are the Teacher. You are the Pupil. You are the One... to find Your Truth. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09184-1980 THE CENTRE OF REST IN I-AMNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am Motion... standing still. For Peace of Mind... has commanded Stillness to Motion. And the 'Standing Still' I am... is Motion itself. For I am ALL. For I am.... the Life of the Universe... in complete Rest and Solitude. As if frozen in Peace of Ages. Peace of Ages... that never were... but in Minds of Motion. In the Stillness of Knowing Silence. I am Motion... standing still. For Peace of Mind has commanded Stillness to Motion. And in the Midst of Insanity... I am The Center of Rest in I-amness. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09185-1980 ALL IS ME ~~~~~~~~~ In the Innermost Core of my Being... I AM ALONE. But yet I share with you - The Totality of Man - I am Within. And when I speak to you... I speak to you for Many. For in the Aloneness of my Being... - I AM ALL - that ever were. And within the Restfulness of Purity amidst the Beauty of Aloneness I am fulfilled to Completion. For in the Shrine... where I... and my Aloneness meet... ALL is ME. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09186-1980 AWAKENED ~~~~~~~~ How can I... awaken Thee? There is no way. And by trying... I would prove to be... The Perfect Sleeper. So forgive me... for being ME... in your Dream. And when you will find the need... to not forgive me anymore... You will be... like I am... AWAKENED. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09187-1980 A MASSIVE BATTERED CHILD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Eons and Eons... that have seen Man Have seen and know... a Planless Clan. Although... each One of Them in turn has all the Plans for his Sojourn. But coming in the Land of Flesh... all the Plans he has in Mind are of a self and ego kind. That's why... the Race of Man runs wild resembling a massive battered Child. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09188-1980 SO WHAT? ~~~~~~~~ I am here... because I like to be here. I am here... because of ME. I like it here. I am here... because I love myself. And since I love myself... I can love You. And I do. For All of You are my Friends. And you are not my Friends just because you are listening. You are my Friends because within you... I find the Parts that are missing in ME. You complete ME. Without you... I am only ME. With You... I am All of You. With You... I am You and ME. When you listen to me... you will hear things... you have never heard before. They are all True. True to ME. And what you think about them... I do not care about. But please be not insulted... by what you hear. For it is only ME saying it. Things are not True... because I say them. Things are True... because you find them to be True. Sooner or Later. And if not... SO WHAT? -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09189-1980 A PERFECT BEING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life... your Life and mine... is the Process... whereby you and I raise each other... and ourselves... to an ever becoming... State of Greatness. This Process... is of an Eternal Duration. And it will never be finished. The State of Greatness... to be reached by you and I... is entirely and completely up to you and I. And our Potential is Unlimited. How much Unlimited means... I do not really know. For I have only an inkling of its meaning... and its importance. This inkling tells me... that I... by my own efforts eventually... will be... A PERFECT BEING. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09190-1980 THIS ACTION IS GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And People say... that God in his Wisdom shared ALL there was to be shared. And the Shares... that God passed along... are counted by the Fools. But the Wise never bother. For he... who is worth his Share... knows that Shares grow by using them and diminish by counting. And I say... that he who shares his Shares... is the Wisest of Them All. For he approaches God in Wisdom. He who approaches God in Wisdom is the only one who is counted by Wisdom itself. Wisdom itself... can neither be counted or estimated. For its Quantity... contains all Qualities. Gathered together... in but ONE Action. This Action... is God. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09191-1980 THE PATH BEHIND IS EQUAL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ People ask... why do you write... and I answer... why shouldn't I. And then they say... yes... but if you follow Jesus you should not have to write. For Jesus never wrote a word. And then my dear Friends... I come loose... and let them have it. For I am not following Jesus. I cannot follow him. For he is Jesus. And I am Gerardus. I am not him. I cannot follow him. For his Path is useless to me. Absolutely useless. Oh yes... my Goal is the same. Sure. But our Ways are different. His path is his. My Path is mine. Solitary. And although I do not follow... I go where he went. While as soon as I find my Goal... I have covered his Footsteps. Yet none of his Footsteps show ahead. But the Path behind is equal. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09192-1980 YOU ARE THE REALITY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each Life is a Dream. And all Dreams are Real. Each Life I dream... makes me the Dreamer... a more perfect Dreamer. By dreaming. For all the Lessons I encounter as the Dreamer in all my Dreams provide for me... the experience needed... to awaken to REALITY. The REALITY of AWAKENING... to the Creator I am. The Creator of Dreams... called Life. And 'ALL' that is in IT. All things that make up my Dreams - my Lives in the Physical - are of a Nature of Realness... that is accepted as Real by my Senses. But all things are... my own manifested Consciousness. And not anything in the Physical Reality... is really REAL. Yet... ALL my Dreams are Real. And ALL things that appear in my Dreams are real. But only within the Reality of my Dreams. The whole thing is quite confusing... and why shouldn't it be? Finally coming down to the fine point of it all... not ANYTHING is really REAL... but YOU. YOU ARE THE REALITY . -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09193-1980 FOR BOTH ARE BOTH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being a Friend... is being both You and the Friend. Without any Division... without any Difference. Being a Friend... is being Both. By feeling Pleasure double... and Pain only half. Being a Friend also is... not knowing whose Friend is whose. For Both are halves of one Whole. And the Whole... does not know... who is who. There is no Difference... nor Division between Friends. For Both are Both. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09194-1980 I REALLY AM ~~~~~~~~~~~ I.... this Tower of Strength... have erected myself... upon a Foundation of Weakness. And all the Smiles I project... are born from a Pool of Questions. Hiding the Faces full of Tears I pretend not to be. And all the Faces... being all the me's I project never tell any man of the Child inside. For beyond this Tower of Light is the Source of Darkness. Displaying the Will to Live by hiding the Will to Die. And in this Show of pretended Wisdom... hiding behind the Light I am not the Masks I wear... do not really conceal... the Trueness I am. I.... this Tower of Strength... topple toward Despair in ignorance... of the REALITY... I really am. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09195-1980 CALLED YOU ~~~~~~~~~~ What is Life? What is God? What is Consciousness? And who is it... that wants to know? Please remember... that the answer is hidden beyond Infinity. And never will be understood. The answer is beyond reach. Which is Beautiful and Just. For the not finding of the answer is the Solution to the Problem. For Life... God... and Consciousness are realities that are Nameless... and the Same. These realities... in Totality in Eternal Time... form the Creation... called YOU. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09196-1980 KNOWING MYSELF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How Beautiful Life is... I do not know. For there is so little... I know. But whatever it is... I know about Life... fills me with Awe and Inspiration. And every time... I learn more about Life... I become more and more aware... of its Beauty. Just imagine... what Life really will be like... when I know how to practice... what I know. And then... imagine again... what Life will be like... when I practice what I know... without knowing it. Then I will be... what I should be. A Being... that cannot be any other way... but Itself. Knowing ALL... Knowing Myself. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09197-1980 I'M USED TO IT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Task I have is difficult... for the possibility to succeed is very small. And the difficulty encountered... is very great. Why don't you help me to achieve a small part of it? By being open-minded... and by listening with your Heart. For to tell you... the Truth I know... and make it understood... is a Task as great as the Duration of Time. But worth doing for me... for there is nothing else to do. But without your help... I cannot achieve anything. For You have to do the Understanding While I but utter words. So listen. Listen to me... with patience of Heart. For to know some of my Truth... is to your Benefit. And if you don't like it... pass it back to me. I'm used to it. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09198-1980 I PROVIDE ~~~~~~~~~ My Pen is the Link... between the Minds I am. And when it writes... I am the one who is reading. And whoever wants to speak... appears on the Paper I provide. Up to now... many have spoken... and much has been said. Yet... in all the Ages of Living... Words will never cover the lot. For it is the Feeling... of the Hearts I am... that unites and becomes... the Love behind my Pen. The Love behind my Pen... expressing the Thoughts I receive... from the Hearts in Love that write... in Silent Communion of Oneness... flowing forth... from the Link I am... through my Pen... on the Paper... I provide. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09199-1980 I TRIED TO SHARE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With the Smugness of Mind and with the Contentment of Soul she enjoys the Pleasures of the Body... in being Total. Living her Life by the Splendor of her Thoughts that form her Prison with Walls of Tranquillity... and Windows without a Sky. While yet... in the most Lovely Serenity she's happy in her Universe of Light... owning the Peace of her Mind to make her what she is... A Pearl of Heaven. A Pearl of Heaven... in love... and yet not completely loving... she enjoys and endures her World of Lovers that wander and are amazed by... her Beauty in being... the God she is. And all this... while I know... that in the Days yet to come... she will Bloom in Knowing... the Love for the World I tried to share. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09200-1980 IT'S AWFUL SHORT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While you are reading this... the first half of Eternity just passed by. And the second half... will be spent in the Eternal Now. It's called... the Future. At this very moment then... the past and the Future... are kept apart... by the Eternal Now... in order for you to utilize... the Moment of the Present. Please use it well. For if you do not live in the Present by spending your Time in the Past or Future you are missing... ALL THREE OF THEM. For the Past and the Future... are Thoughts in the Eternal Now. And only should be thought about... when you have no living to do... in the Present Instant... of Nowness. Think about it... before it is too late. Now is the Time... to think about Nowness. So use the Time... between the Past and the Future. It's awful short. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09201-1980 KNOWER OF THE PAST ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am a Student of the Future... and a Knower of the Past While in this Body... that is living... is invested... the ME to last. And within the Nature of my Being... and the Life I represent Is the Secret of my Greatness... formed by Time... I did ascend. While in the Eons of the Future in which I study the One that's Me My Greatness will surmount more Greatness for that's the Way I can but be. To finally find the God that's hidden beyond a Greatness vaster than vast By being a Student of the Future... and a Knower of the Past. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09202-1980 RIGHT NOW ~~~~~~~~~ In the Lives I have been living I have seen Tears and many Smiles And all of them... in pure abundance lasted but for tiny Whiles. While the only thing of pure Duration and guaranteed for Life to last Is the Smile that's found in living in neither Future nor the Past. So live and smile in full Endeavour with the Knowledge and Wisdom how To but enjoy your Smile forever by being You... yes You... RIGHT NOW. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 09203-1980
