To One and All... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The poems in the following * POEMS15.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 -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- ITSELF ~~~~~~ In Knowing... the little I but Know of ALL there is to Know... I can but teach... my Brother Man... by Loving. Yes. By loving Man... by loving the World... by loving 'All That Is'. For by the Loving I am... I teach Man... I teach the Universe... and I teach 'All That Is'. For the little I but Know... - Expressed in Words - will never reach... my Brother Man. For they are Mind... denying Heart. And Mind but analyzes and schemes... while Heart unites in Oneness. The Oneness that is God. The Oneness I feel to be... within the little I but Know... and Feel. Yet... within the little I but Know and Feel... I am the Universe in being... Itself. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15326-1981 AND WHAT ISN'T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why does an Infant... play with a rubber Duck? Why doesn't it grab a violin and play it? Because as you know... the Infant still has to grow. To grow up. For the same Reason... not all People do what you do or what I do. For many of them are still... in the Growing-Up-Stage. Not as Human Beings. But as a Soul. For each Life as a Human Being is but a Stage for the Soul. And for a Soul to grow-up takes many Lives. Many indeed. Growing-up... is mostly a Stage of Believing... and to be grown-up is a Stage of Knowing. Knowing what is... and what isn't. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15327-1981 SOUNDS LIKE FANTASY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whether you believe or accept what you read or hear I couldn't care less. For I do not require Belief or Acceptance. And to recognize TRUTH depends on YOUR Understanding. Not on Mine. So do with MY TRUTH... whatever you like. But please remember... that anything you read or hear might well be worth thinking about a lot. And who knows... eventually you might laugh at your own foolishness for believing in Nonsense. Maybe even Mine. But at all times... be open-minded. And oh yes... TRUTH is something... very few People recognize the first time they read or hear it. For most of it... sounds like fantasy. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15328-1981 BY LOVE THAT'S FREE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love... my Love... is like an Entrapment to Life. Life in Freedom. For to be Loving... to be Loving the Love of your Life is to abandon almost... the Freedom of Living... Life in Freedom. For sometimes... very surreptitiously the Freedom that was will become Slavery. Slavery to Each Other... by Each Other. While yet... both Partners could be delighted. But also burdened. Burdened by the Attachment. The Attachment of Belonging. And Freedom my Love... as you know... is Freedom. So Love... personal Love could be the Opposite to Freedom. But the only Love that is possible... and yet be Free... is sharing. Sharing Each Other Freely... without Attachment. By Love that's Free. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15329-1981 WE KNOW SO LITTLE OF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be with You... my Love... is living beyond Time... beyond Space. Time and Space are but Realities of the Physical. But being with You... is the Transcendence of this Reality as we know it. A Reality that is but Temporary. A Reality... that is but a small Part or Expression of our very Selves. For You and I... and all Life... is in actuality a Mental Phenomena. An Activity of Mind. An Aspect of Consciousness. And the very Selves we are... are Multi-Dimensional Beings... and are but partly expressed in the Physical. The Greatness of our Totality... is what we feel when we are together in the 'being' we experience... when we share Time and Space. And transcending this Time and Space is the Embrace of our Soul. Our Soul... expressed in the Physical the You and I... we know so little of. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15330-1981 THAT IS THE YOU... THAT IS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cry... yes Cry my Love... yes Cry until your Soul is Clean. Yes Cry and Cry for all that's been. Cry and Cry... the Sadness wry Until you slowly... don't know why. And Laughter then will fill the Source with Pleasure and the Living Force. To find the Love... that You deserve to go but Forwards... without Reserve. To find that from the Source... - That Is - your Life and Living is but Bliss. For the Wisdom in Living that You did gain... by Pain will blossom you... without restrain. To bloom in Splendor and Loving Bliss. For Deep Inside that is the You... That Is. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15331-1981 A GREATER GOD IN GODNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Feelings of caring... caring for the One I love and feel within me. How Splendid these Feelings are... how satisfying to my Soul. It creates within... within the Being I am... a Sense of Worthiness. A Sense of Goodness of being. Of being Alive through Loving. A Need... that is so Human. Human to the Core of Humanness. A Need to be fulfilled and to be transcended... in order to become a God in Godness. For to become a God and to become more and more in Godness first I have to become totally Human. In Loving... and by being Loved... to my Soul's Satisfaction. In being Human Love... more and more. And only then... can I become... a Greater God in Godness. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15332-1981 BY YOU... THE LIVING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is... the smelling of a Flower. The Grinding of Teeth. The Agony of Death. And the Pleasures of Living. It also is... the Elation of being in Love... and the Sorrow of losing Lovers. And it is... the Splendidness of Sunshine. The Terror of a Storm. The Drowning of Life and the Catching of a Fish. The Dancing of a Butterfly and the Thud of a Drunk collapsing on the Floor. Life is... the Enlightenment of the Mind. The Wonderment of Living. The Hotness of the Desert and the Coolness of Mist. The Surrendering in Loving the Anger of a Hate and the Tenderness of a Child. It is the Openness of Thinking. The Closeness of Worry... and the Freedom to enjoy or deny the Nature of Life... by You... The Living. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15333-1981 AND IN CRYING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes I Cry.... And sometimes I Cry more... than other times. Yet I am Happy. For I have You to love Me And I have You to love. So Life... or whatever it is... I'm doing... is good to Me. For most of the time... I just AM. I just AM... being Busy being. Being Me. In Loving... in being Loved. And in Crying. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15334-1981 WHAT YOU BELIEVE IT TO BE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TRUTH is... 'what is'... so 'what is' to You... is Your TRUTH. And 'what is' to Me... is My TRUTH. Since 'what is' to You... could be different than 'what is' to Me Your TRUTH and My TRUTH could be different... in Nature and Degree. Remember though... to believe 'what is' might not exist at all. And therefore might not be TRUTH. Believing that something exists or is... is what Children do all the time. But Knowing 'what is'... very few Adults do... and only sometimes. ALL in ALL... TRUTH is an Individual Thing. For Life is... what You believe it to be. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15335-1981 THE BIRTH OF GREATNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Friend. To be what your Friends are... is being but one of them. But to be 'YOU' in being what you are... is being YOU. And to be YOU is transcending the Mediocrity... of the Crowd. And anybody who accepts You for what You are is a Friend who knows what being a Friend is. For True Friendship... is the Acceptance... of what You are... in being YOU. While the Approval of the Crowd... is the Acceptance of your Mediocrity. To Accept yourself... and to 'see' Greatness... in being YOU... is Greatness. No Greatness in lndividuality... is part of the Mediocrity of the Crowd. So DARE. For DARING... is the Birth of Greatness. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15336-1981 THEY ARE LOST GODS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Man is a Learning God. And Gods do not Sin. But Man being Man... sometimes misses the Mark. Man is a God in Learning. And learning means... making mistakes unknowingly. Planet Earth is the School for Man. And Man returns and returns until he knows... that he is a God in Learning. The process is called... Reincarnation. Most People learn very little each Lifetime. But sooner or later... they will learn it all. It is called... Becoming Aware. Or Waking up. Man is his own Creator... by means of the Soul he is... and the Processes of Thought... he entertains. Man is the Creator of his own Body. All Gods in Learning are Creators. Man lives in his own Creation... IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE IT. IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE HIS OWN CREATION. The Attitude towards his experiences... is what forms his Character... and the Nature of his Godness. Most Gods in Learning... are lost in their own Creation. They are lost Gods. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15337-1981 TO FIND THE LIFE I AM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the Refinement of Creation... From the Integrity of Wisdom... And from the Deepness of Space... Are Sculptured... the Lines of her Face. Harbouring Eyes like Stars... that wink and twinkle. Projecting Love to All that can but see the Soul Within. Yes... her Face. Like a Landscape of Love... with softly shining Smiles. Yet... Stern and Strong... with equal Sense in Wonder. Yes.. her Face. The Face I kiss. Hold in my Hands... and kiss again. Yet... I will never know... Who it really is... I see and kiss. For she reflects... the Refinement of Creation... the Integrity of Wisdom... And the Deepness of Space Unknown. Smilingly sculptured by Time and Love. And I softly dare in Loving... to find the Life I am. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15338-1981 UNKNOWINGLY ~~~~~~~~~~~ Gracefully she moves within the Neatness of her Form Knowing not she is Beautiful. For hidden beyond her Awareness is the Smoothness of her Style. Projecting Softness in Beauty and Charm. Enticing whoever she touches with the Smile of her Living. Showing Poise that radiates Peace. A Peace of Sadness that has past. Replaced by the Knowledge of Life. Through Living and through Dying. She creates a hidden Deepness beyond the Clarity of her Smiles of Goodness and Deeds of Love. Valuable to All... that can but see... the Quality of her Soul. She is the Vitality of Life itself through living Lives that past and by her Life that is the Present. She is an Honour to Love. A Pleasure to know... and a Treasure to admire. So obvious to them that see... the God she is. Yet some of it... stays hidden... beyond herself... unknowingly. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15339-1981 BY KNOWING OF... 'WHAT IS' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Sharpest Needle that's driven in Wisdom Divine by a Brother of You by a Brother of Mine is the Needle of a Man of Loving Care the Needle of a Man just there. There... where he should be to cure and heal the Pain of Man with Love and Seal. To help to lift our Human Life to help to lighten our Human Strife in this so beautiful yet suffering Earth. Yes... he is my Brother by Light... by Birth. For 'All of Us' of the Human Kind are ONE of Soul and Mind. United within the Eternal Bliss by Knowing of... 'what is'. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15340-1981 BEINGS IN BEING 'ALL AND ONE' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Pleasure and Anticipation do I await the Meeting of the Closeness I am. For when I meet 'that' what I am I am Me. No other Time and no other Place can I be 'that' what I am as what I am within the Closeness of Us. While right Now... I suffer Time being Space Unfulfilled. But at the Meeting of the Closeness I am there is no Time there is no Space. For we are 'All'... within Ourselves... Beings in being 'All and One'. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15341-1981 IN FEELINGS DIVINE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When 'Closeness' becomes so close that it is not. It is 'Oneness'. And 'Oneness' is a Feeling so intimately Good that it stultifies the Mind for it is just Feeling. A Feeling of Bliss. A Feeling of Gracefulness. And of a Nature immeasurable in Quality and Quantity. It just IS. Some People call it 'Life'. Some call it 'Love'. And others call it 'Being'. Very few experience it. And the Ones that do do not know what to call it. For it is 'Nameless'... and the same as 'Godness'. A Nature of being... in Feelings Divine. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15342-1981 GOD AS YOU ALIVE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To know something... and not do anything about it makes You and the Knowledge useless. While to do 'anything' about something You know is Wisdom in Action. And Wisdom in Action is Godness... is You living Life. And when You live Life without living Your Life... is Divine Habit. Divine Habit creates the Feeling of Goodness... by experiencing Godness within. It's called... BEING. And the ultimate of BEING is doing nothing for Yourself... but doing ALL for Others. And feel good about it. And that is called... the Feeling of Life going through You without Effort. To know nothing about anything... but do it ALL... is Life itself. Which is the same as... God experiencing You... without You knowing it. It's called... God as You Alive. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15343-1981 AND EQUAL TO ALL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To reach the Level of Understanding that Nobody is Crazier than You is attaining the Ultimate in Sanity. To reach this Level of Sanity does not mean that One could not be lost within the Limits of Insanity. Sanity and Insanity are definitions that are overlapping each other completely. Sanity and Insanity together form Weirdness. Which is the opposite of Normality. Normality is not to be identified for Nobody knows what it actually is. So... Who is Normal... and Who is not? It is suspected that Normality is acting according to the Self without asking a No-Self or Other. What a Self is... not even a No-Self knows. To be a Self is being able to identify a No-Self. Which Nobody ever could. A No-Self then... does not exist. And a Self does not know it is One... for it cannot identify a No-Self. All Selves and No-Selves... therefore must be One and the Same. So Nobody is Crazier or more Normal than Anybody else. Which means... that Everybody is just Right. And Perfect the Way he is. And Equal to All. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15344-1981 TO BE MYSELF ~~~~~~~~~~~~ And the Time will come that You will have grown and look at Me... and Master. And You will be looking at a little Boy that once was a Man You knew to be Great. And when that time comes... do not forget that I have tried to be the Man You saw. And just not quite succeeded. But don't You pity me. Don't feel the least bit of Sorrow. For You are the One who's grown and I was but the Fool. For being Me... is Fooling. For being Me... is being Me. With a Speed that makes Me feel at ease to be Myself. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15345-1981 IN BEING HATE THROUGH LOVING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Forbidden Fruit. Yes... that's what You are. The Extreme in Temptation... the Ultimate in Having. And yet... when I would... I would spit You out... like Garbage. Yes... I would spit You out like Poison... killing Body... Mind... and Soul. But yet. Yet I keep on looking Keep longing for this Fruit... I like to share and eat. And why the Hell don't You show yourself more often? So that I could choose my Death by Suffering in Pleasure of being Me experiencing You. Yes... You and I... in the Solitude of being Us... alone. Among the Tortures and Treasures I so need and would despise for finding Us too close in being Us. In being Hate... through Loving. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 15346-1981
