    To One and All...
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The poems in the following * POEMS11.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

              IN THE EVENING OF THE RACE OF MAN IN DARKNESS
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         I have come to your Prison
                        to unlock the Gate.
                 And tear down the Walls
                             that you have built...
                                        by the Thoughts you are.

         And although your Prison is safe and easy
                    I will have to bring you out and expose you.
              Expose you to the Life you are...
                                  within your Walls
                           of such a limited Confinement.

         For in the Eternity that you are but a Second
                   the Time has come to be that Second in Total.
               And there is no Force that can stop me.
                          For it is your Force that has told me
                    to liberate the Beauty that is within.
                              Within the you...
                                     you do not know.

         And the unlocking of the Gate of your Prison
                             is the Opening of the Mind you are.
              To Beautify your Soul in Waiting...
                             for the Light of the God...
                      you always were...
                                but did not know.

         So listen to the Sounds that are my Words.
                 For they are spoken by the Force that is yours.
                        And dwells in the Depth...
                                  of your Godly Being.
         For it is this Force that has told me...
                           to awaken the Beauty within.
               For it is ready to receive...
                            the Splendor of the Gods...
                    residing within the Mind... you do not know.

         And with closed eyes I guide you
              through the Pathways of the Mind you are
                            in Search for the Honey of the Gods
                                   that dwell within you.

                                And you but know as Strangers.

         And while Eternities became the Past
                      you slept among the Pimps of Darkness
                               enticing you to the Life you are.

                  Leading you to the Thoughts of Peace.

         While Peace itself was missing its Peacefulness...
                                          of being You at Peace.

         That is why I have come...
                    to bring the Cosmic Honey.
            Not to entice you to the Taste of Sweetness...
                            of the Darkness within...
                     but to bring out the Colours of Life...
                                          you are in Brilliance.

                        And you have never known.
               But yet are the Very Splendor of Yourself.

         So let me speak of Pathways...
                    hidden within the very Mind you are.
              And let me speak of the Gods...
                                 that you but know as Strangers.

              But know you...
                      as One of Them in Godness...
                                         and in Brilliance.

         So...
            in the Evening of the Race of Man in Darkness...
                                              I have come to be.

                    To bring some Light to guide you.

            And although the Time of Learning is but short
                      some Sounds will find the Home of Hearing.

                         To be understood for what they are.
                                   Truth itself.

           In undiluted Form...
                       and inconceivable Beauty.
                For they are spoken by the Gods themselves.

                    Speaking through but me... their Instrument.

           And yet the Light and Knowledge I have to share...
                                is the same...
                   as the Truth that is within the Gods you are.

               It is but that the Gods you are...
                                        are fast asleep.

                             But ready to awaken...
                                           by the Light
                                     that is within the me I am.

           And not to blind you...
                      is the Task I have to bear.
                               For the Light I try to share...
                      is difficult for you...
                                    to accept or to acknowledge.

           For you are shaded by the Ages of Darkness
                                        within the Mind you are.

                          By being Man the Physical too long.

         So on the Evening of the Race of Man in Darkness...
                   just open up your Heart...
                            and listen with your Soul...
                                            so ready to receive.

         And although I speak of Gods...
                      I can but show you the God I am.

               And although I speak of Light...
                         I can but show you the Light that's Me.

         But even...
              even if I could show you
                               the Abundance
                         and the Multitude of Gods
                                         that are my Peers.

              You would not see them...
                             because of Darkness.

                      The Darkness...
                            in which you grope for Light.
                                     The Light...
                                               You are Yourself.

         For in the Eons and Eons of being Man
                         you cannot find Yourself for Gods.

             The Gods...
                  that are the Concoctions of your Mind...
                                          and all their Heavens.

               While the True God...
                         - the God You are Within -
                                     is the God you do not know.

         For the Gods I speak of...
                             and the Light...
                   the Light you can't but see for Darkness...
                                  are the very Beings...
                                                     YOU ARE.

         For 'All That Is' is Consciousness.
                                The Consciousness of Man.

                    The Consciousness of the Creator.
                                                  The Man...
                                              Man does not know.

         And when you are listening...
                        to the Words I speak...
                                        remember.
                              It is not really I who speak.

                      But the very Gods you are...
                                       and do not know.

         For within the One you are
                        lives the Greatness of your Soul
                                                     in Silence.

                                Waiting.

         Waiting until you cease your Scheming...
                                    and cease the Noise you are.

            For by all the Thinking and the Talking...
                you have lost the 'You' in 'You'
                       that lives within your very Soul.
                                                The God you are.

         But yet.
               There is still Time.
                         For Time is but your Thinking.

               So cease your Mind.
                          Your Mind of Earth.
                    And listen to your Mind of Self.
                                           It's waiting...
                                               and always ready.

         For the 'You' in 'You'...
                   is the Soul you are.

                   The God to be...
                           by listening to the Sound
                                                 I utter.

                   Through the Instrument...
                                          that's YOU.

                         TO FIND THE ME IN TOTAL
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         Yes... all the Beauty...
                   of all the Flowers...
                           of all the Fields
                                  in all the Worlds
                   cannot possibly be equal
                           to the Beauty I feel
                                    when I am in your Presence.

         For my Soul is lifted
              to a Level of Elation
                      my Mind has never known.

               And because of your Loveliness...
                         I become enchanted to the Delight
                    of the Feelings you project to be Yourself.

         And then I know...
                that I know it.

                      I am in Love again.
                                    And suffering.

         Why couldn't I just be
                        - what I am -
                              just by myself?

                                    In Peace within...
                                            by simply being Me.

         But then I know.

              Being Me... is being Total.

                   Which means to share the Soul I am
                             with the Loveliness of Lovers.
                       In whom I recognize myself...
                                       to find the Me in Total.

                          WHILE I WAS NOT THERE
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Oh yes... many a night we are alone now.
         The Children have grown tall and beautiful.

               And somehow the opposite polarity
                    is more attractive than their Parents.

         We understand... and yet we often wonder.
                              Is this then what Life is all about?

    Is this then... what we will meet in the future
              to sit here... and neither be with the Children
         and neither be without them for very long.

         While the Children seem to know and proclaim to know
                    what Life is all about... and seem to live it.

    What has happened to the time... I knew so well?
                                        Where is it gone?

         Where are the days when the Children were hurt and cried.

                  Where is the soothing thought...
                         that made them feel... the me I was?

    What then has changed?
             What happened to the Pair we were?
                            And why isn't it anymore...
                                          just the way I liked it?

         Am I then growing old?
              Am I then holding hands with Time itself?

                   Am I then thinking... that I can hold...
                                                what is not there?

    And why didn't Life tell me...
                       that it would leave?

         And why do I but so sadly remember...
                            the Times of Happiness...
                                              that were lived...
                                            while I was not there?

                         ACCEPTANCE IS BUT GRIEF
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         To stick to Rules...
                       is the Joy of Fools.

               And the Habit-Mind but meets a Grind.

                    While Religions and Traditions...
                                             and the Habit-Lot
                       create for Man a Dead-End-Plot.

         And never by being...
                        a following-goof
               will Man find ever...
                           of his Godness proof.

         But to become Divine and a Perfect Whole
                         is to accept the World with Loving Soul.

              And see the Children that need the Rules
                          as younger yous and not as Fools.

         For Men and Women of every Race
                            come here to learn of Time and Space.

         And to finally find the Total Thought
                  and be a God... is by Pain but bought.

         The Pain of being the Individual You
                        in Search and Pursuit of the Cosmic Clue.

                     The Clue to Know
                           that Belief is but Belief.

                And that 'KNOWING' is GOD...
                            while Acceptance is but Grief.

                             THE HOW AND WHY
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         The Multitudes of Man I see...
                        there is no Way to Tell.

               There is no Way to Show or Teach...
                                   the Truth I know so well.

         For written in this Heart of Mine
                   in simple Words...
                             yes Line for Line
                                   is the KNOWLEDGE
                       so Few do Know
                              that this whole Earth
                                            is but for Show.

                    And to perceive beyond this Clay
                          will vanish Pain and Man's Dismay.

         For on the Planes where I do dwell
              there is no Earth... there is no Hell.

                   There is but ME...
                              the God I am...
                                        and purely do excel.

         While the Multitudes...
                        but live and live...
                                 to but re-live...
                              another Life...
                           another Try.

                                 And Few do know...
                                            the How and Why.

                             A WORLD OF GLASS
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         The Thoughts that are Me
                   tingle from my Deepest Mirror
                                        and reflect
                                 my Image and my Selfness.

               And in the Depth...
                         behind the Misty Eyes...
                                   I see the Beauty...
                                          of the Truth that is.

               Where have I seen that Face before?
                         Where have I felt those Feelings?

                                   Please tell me...
                                              who I see in you?

                             Please tell me...
                                 who am I... that's asking?

         And my Deepest Mirror then
                 slowly forms the Reflection of my Being
            while the Tenderness of Love that is...
                 smiles to me and makes my Reflection Realness.

         The Reflection from the Looking Glass...
                           that is my Deepest Mirror
                                            is the Being
                                                I know so well.

                   It is the Godness of the Self I am.

          The One I could not find...
                          for looking... into a World of Glass.

         The Brilliance... I see within myself...
                   is of a Greatness...
                                - equal -
                         to the Realization of it.

                             is born from...
                     The Awareness of my Brilliance.

         This means...
               that whatever I 'know' I am...
                                          I AM.

                For at all times...
                            I am my Awareness
                                    and the Realization of it.

         And you my Love...
                   could not possibly reflect
                                       - My Brilliance -
                                   if it was not...
                            within the Spectrum of Your Being.

                   In full Colour...
                       in the Fulness of my Reality.

         So.   If my Brilliance is within You...
                                          You are Me and More.

             And it is this Moreness than me...

         With a Zest for Life...
                      like Life itself
                               she moves in Smiles of Being.

         Hiding her Questions...
                  beneath the Rim of Showing
                                 and in perfect Balance
                             with the Playful Extravagance
                                 of her Splendid Self.

         Caring for the Life that's hers...
                       she makes her Life by caring.

                  For by her Self-Alone...
                                    in being two
                           she creates the Sphere for Three.

         An Endeavour...
                   greater than the Duty of Self.

                And only possible by the Impetus of Love.

                    Constituting Beauty in Beingness.

             So Attractive and Self-Sufficient...
                                       that she is Splendor.

         While in the Deepness of her Soul...
                     she knows
                         that her Aloneness...
                                  is the Essence of Godness.

                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         To know...
               that you are on The Path
                             makes the Journey easy.

               To not know...
                     but think you know
                          makes the Path a selfmade Road...
                                     by the Guidance of Others.

                     Your Path however...
                             cannot be shown by Others.

         And how does One know...

                                One knows that One Knows.

         To be on a Path...
                   a self-made Road...
                             by the Guidance of others...
                                 is but Illusioned Progression.

                   you will find the Guidance of others
                                  misleading and disappointing.

                          to find my Soul
                                   I lost my Mind.

                         was alone...
                               to tackle Self.

                    From the Bottom up...
                               and from Upness down.

         And smilingly...
                   the Thundering World
                                  knew by Ignorance
                                          the 'hows' and 'whys'.

                                           for knowing.

         Relieved from Burdens...
               but loaded with Pain in Freedom
                         I listened to the Fighting Me...

                                    contained the Knowledge
                          to find my Mind...

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         People ask me...
              now that you know 'what' you are...
                         how does the World look to you?
                              And how do you see other People?

         And I answer...
               well... the World...
                   and all the things I used to care about
                          I do not care about anymore.

                                    They are of no Importance.

               And when I look at People...
                               I say to myself...
                        what is it you are trying to do.

                                What does it really amount to?

         And the answer is that it amounts to nothing...
                                           Absolutely nothing.

               The point is... they don't know that.


                                 they will know what I know.

         Which is...
               that YOU... the Real YOU...
                              is the only ONE that counts.

              The Real YOU... the Greatness in Awareness...
                     that you amount to... and are.

              The Real YOU... that lives Life after Life...
                  and knows that the World is a School.

                From which you eventually will promote...
                          to become a Teacher.

            A Teacher of Man...
                      to bring them... from Glory to Glory.

                        A HAPPY ENDING IN ETERNITY
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         The State of Mind you create...
                                  is Your Reality.

                       It could be Beautiful...
                                  it could be ugly as Hell.

                          Whatever it is...
                                   it is Your Creation.

         In a similar Fashion...
                        are you the Creator...
                                       of Your Life.

               Your Life...
                     is the Creation of Your Soul...
                                        and You are your Soul.

         Many People...
              are the Instrument of a somewhat younger Soul.

                      Their Life is a shaky affair.

                                      They suffer a lot.

         By the Suffering of the Body...
               and the Experiences the Soul encounters...
                                              the Soul learns.

               Slowly but surely... Life after Life...
                             the Soul learns to become Mature.

         All in all.....
               the Story of the Human Soul...
                               has a Happy Ending in Eternity.

                        THE FEELINGS YOU CREATED
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         LIFE my Love...
               is not whether you can get along
                                       with other People.

                  But whether you can get along...
                                       with yourself.

               And to make this happen...
                                      my Love...
                              you first of all forgive.

               Forgive all Others...
                     for 'whatever' you think
                                    they did wrong...
                                          that caused you Pain.

         And then my Beloved...
                        You Forgive Yourself.

               And when you feel...
                           the Crying within you...
                                             You are Free.

         Free to be You.

                  The You...
                       You always were.

                              But were hiding behind...
                                       the Feelings you created.

                                 ~~~~~~~

         Now that I am...
               what I am...
                          the Love for the World of Man
                                             is more and more.
               And Life becomes but Loving.

                     And when I am with you...
                                     my Closeness
                         the very Love for ALL
                                flows through the You I share.

         Never in the Memories of Living
                                  have I felt
                                       such Peacefulness
                       within the Silent Love
                                      that lives
                       between the You and Me
                                      In Being Us.

               Let the Focus of Our Loving...
                       be the Centre of the World of Man
                                                      in Love.

                            FROM TEN TO NINE
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         I come at Nine
                   and leave at Ten
               And in between
                         we have our 'when'.

         While none of us
                      knows yet to say
               Let's take the Time
                         and have our WAY.

                             Yet in the Silence
                                           of our Soul
                                 We are not 'two'
                                         but 'one' and Whole.

                             But in the Meeting
                                       of two Gods
                                 Both of Them
                                           just feel at odds.

         For to make True
                   our longing Wish
               Our very Patience
                           is our Bliss.

               So in this Hour of being us
                             we build and build but Stimulus.

         To fully grow our Love Divine
                      To make our waiting 'when'...
                                            from Ten to Nine.

                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         LOVE...
              is tinged with the Pain of Pleasure.

                   While the very Pain
                               we try to avoid
                                            is equal
                                         to the Godness
                                    we miss within Ourselves.

         And within the Loving we share
                       is the Colour of the Suffering we are.

                        While our Love
                              and the Lack of it
                                      grows the God
                              by lacking less through Loving.

         And the Colour within our Loving
                                    is equal
                          to the Sadness of being Man
                     searching for the Wholeness of his Soul.

             Never to be found
                   within the Pain of Loving.

                           But within the Divineness...
                                     of Loving more and more.

         For the Wholeness of Soul
                              we do seek
                   is found beyond the Love of Man
                                in being Gods in Loving
                                              the God in Man.
