To One and All... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The poems in the following * POEMS18.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 -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- THE ONE WHO IS LIFE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am standing here... looking at my Friends... but I am seeing Myself. And my Friends... listening to Me... hear but themselves. With Ears that are mine. For in all we see and understand we see and understand nothing else... but Ourselves. The ONE and ONLY... WHO IS. For God alone IS. Being US... in the Process of Living. Being lived by Life. Being lived by God. For we and the Life we live are but the Dreamers and the Dream we are in God. It is God who lives Us. While we but react and think that we do the Living. Our 'reaction' and 'thinking'... is but a Contraction... of what we really are. This Contraction arises... out of Godness... the ONE who is LIFE. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18393-1981 THE ULTIMATE SURRENDER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is the Teacher of Truth. But Truth is deeper than Life. And deeper than any Teacher. For Truth is the Eternal Primal State... out of which All Life... and All Teachers arise. For Truth is God. The Eternal Divine Primal State... out of which... ALL THINGS ARISE. The Universe... and All That Is... and all we know about it is but One Possibility that arose out of this Primal State. While ALL Beings that are Self-Aware are but arisen Conditions or Egos contracted in Selfness. To dissolve this 'Contraction in Selfness' into God or Truth is equal to penetrating the Illusion of Egoism. It's the Sacrifice... of our Selfness in God. It is... The Ultimate Surrender. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18394-1981 WE THINK WE LIVE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whatever is perceived... is perceived from without... within. This creates the Illusion that the Perceiver lives within. What does the Perceiving however neither lives within or without. For LIFE is the Perceiver. And Life... is... the All Pervading Force called God. The Illusion that things from without are perceived within creates the idea of an Inner Self. This assumed Inner Self is but an assumed entity or ego that illusions itself to be an Independent and Separate Being. It is but an Illusion of 'Separateness in Egoism' that deludes itself... in finding itself alive and thinks... to do the Living. What deludes itself is the Conscious Mind of Man. For the Conscious Mind of Man... is the 'Contraction in Selfness' in God... trying to find itself... either within or without. Which is Impossible. For God ALONE is. While we are but Dreamers... of the Lives we think we live. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18395-1981 OR GOD ~~~~~~ Positive cannot be without Negative... and Left cannot be without Right. Light cannot be without Darkness and God cannot be without Man. For Man creates God... Yet... God is the Creator of Man. God is because of Man... and Man is because of God. And neither can God reflect upon itself anymore than Man can reflect upon Man without God. For the One is the Other. In different Forms. In different Natures of Duality. Like Infinity and Nothingness. Like Forever and Never. Like Left and Right. Like Man and God... or God and Man. God is similar to... the colour 'white'... dependent upon all other Colours. Man is like any colour... and thus missing all others... in order to be 'white' or God. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18396-1981 ETERNAL ~~~~~~~ I am an Instrument... that's lived by an Eternal Force. The Way this Force lives me however is determined by the Way I prepare... the Instrument I am. And by listening to the Tune I play I learn to harmonize the Sound. The Force... is unlimited in Strength... but the Music I produce... is but light. The repeat of the many Melodies of Life has taught me the Secrets of the Instrument. And by not playing at all myself the single Instrument I am plays Symphonies in synchronism with the Music of the Spheres. In Rhythm... equal to the Breath of God. Eternal. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18397-1981 TO THE AMAZEMENT OF ALL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Earth... the Planets... the Sun... the Stars... and all the many Galaxies... make up a Divine Machine. For All of It... produces Gods. And the Earth... being Part of the Total... produces its Share. For it produced... a Krishna a Buddha a Christ... And many Others yet to come. Like YOU and I. For You and I are in the Process of Evolution. And we are somewhere between Man and God. And climbing. This Universe... this Divine Machine... never makes Mistakes. For it is as sure as God. And 'dead-on' every time to the Amazement of All. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18398-1981 GOD....ALWAYS WINS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most People and their Ego are like a Football... full of Air. And the more they get to know the more their Ego becomes inflated. However... they are but a Football... and kicked around a lot. For all of them... are being played by Life. Whatever these People get to know however and gloat in... is of no Value. For ALL Knowing is done by God. The Knower of 'All There Is to Know'. And unless People 'see' themselves... as the Learning Medium for God... they have learned very little. At the most they will have learned to dampen the kicks of Life by keeping Score. But never will they find satisfaction... with the Game God plays. For Life... is a Scoreless Game for them. Yet... God... always wins. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18399-1981 YOUR EXPERIMENT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since Man is Life... and Life is God... and since we as Life and as God exist and do exist in a Universe where Time is Unlimited the only thing we as God can do is to experiment and/or play. And experiment we DID. Daringly. For the Experiment... or the Experience we are subjected to is the Daring Gigantic Play of Life. Taken part in by YOU. And witnessed by ALL. For YOU as Life... are Action. Action is Motion. Motion is Vibration. Vibration is Life. Life is God. God is Man. Our Experiment or God's Experiment... is... to have become Man. To grow back to God... is to recognize that YOU really are God. The Accomplishment of this... is the Conclusion of the Experiment. YOUR EXPERIMENT. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18400-1981 BECAUSE OF FLEEING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIFE... the way you see it... and LIFE... the way you live it... is an Experience. Your Experience. Your Experience however is but a very limited Experience. For you only... live Your Life. And although you live many Lives in all kinds of bodies in all kinds of Circumstances and in seemingly different times all your Lives and all your Experiences are but limited and restricted in and by themselves. For not one Person can live Life as the Total... or as the All Pervading Force... Life is. You then in whatever Life... - Condition or Experience - are but a 'Contraction of Selfness' or Ego and very limited. You are but a Spark of the Eternal Fire. You are but a Flicker of the Total Light. You are but a 'Dream of Selfness' in God. All your Lives and Experiences then are but temporary 'fractions of being' within the Total. While all 'fractions' in and by themselves are but 'Selves in Flight' away from the Source. You are then... a 'Prisoner in God' fleeing. The more you flee... the more you become... a 'Contraction in Selfness'. The more you become 'entrapped'... within the Self... you think you are. Limited in Mind and Ego... that is but a 'Dying Spark'. For all your Lives... all your Experiences in Time and Space are the Phenomena of Life in Play... the Play of God. While all your 'fractions of being' in search of the One you really are can only be found... by ceasing to be a 'Self in Pursuit of Self' by surrendering to The Eternal Fire... the Eye of God. To find... that what you surrendered to was nothing else but YOU the AWAKENED. For LIFE... the Life you're Living... is but a Dream. A 'Dream in Selfness'... or a 'Prisoner in God'... because of Fleeing. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18401-1981 ALIVE ~~~~~ I am God... and dream. My Dream is so Powerful that whatever I dream becomes Reality. In many Dimensions. One of my Dreams creates Time and Space. The Dimension of Man the Physical. They live the Dream I dream... and am. I am God... and dream. But I do not know it. For I only become aware of my Dream when I have become Man the Physical. And most of Them do not know that they are ME... dreaming. I am 'The Eternal Dreamer' dreaming all Dreams. And I will never awaken. But Man the Physical will awaken in ME and to ME. For I am Them. ALIVE. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18402-1981 FOR THEM THAT FEEL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am God. And my Hobby is Life. In the Life I am... and play... I but amuse myself. For I am the Eternal Amuser. Yet... I am the Entertainer. For the Universe is my Circus. Full of Clowns and Performers. Full of Glare and Light. ALL are my People. They play 'world'... In Time and Space... with all that is ME. The Games they play are my Hobbies. My Rules are 'Conscious Evolution'. Goodness in my Referee. And Happiness is my Goal. No Player really knows ME. Yet they are the Same. Most use Eternities to play my Game. Few use but Time to find my Rules. I am lost in Infinity for Them that play. But found in the Present for Them that Feel. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18403-1981 I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is no other God... but Man. Most People however... do not know this. Unfortunately they believe... look up to... and expect... Miracles and Salvation from a God they idolize and fear. And fortunately... this God is but the Concoction of their Mind. It is but a Thought-Form. The only Force that IS... is the Force out of Which all Worlds and all Things arise. The Worlds of Man and all Things that are Physical are the Physical Dream of this Force. All Things Invisible are other Forms of this Force. To Consciously Evolve in this Dream and to discover the Truth about it... is experiencing that God IS Man. One also understands then... what was meant by... I and the Father are One. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18404-1981 LIKE JESUS IS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bodies... my Friend... are nothing but Machines... for Gods to live in. And the God you are certainly lives in a beautiful Body. However... my God in Question... you are not just yet... a God as yet. But if it wasn't for you... yourself... you would be. For it is You... yourself... who deludes You. To become... or rather realize that you are a Living God is something You... yourself... have to do. To realize what You are or to finally get to know yourself is your Task on this Earth. For the Earth is a School. A School for Souls to learn and grow. Life after Life. Eventually then... You will be able to say... I am the Son of God... and One with the Father. You will be then... A Christ. LIKE JESUS IS. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18405-1981 ALL IS 'FOR' THE OTHER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being against God... is like being against the Weather. Useless. Yet being for God... is not just the Opposite. For in order to be for something you have to be sure... what it is... you are for. And what God is all about very... very few People know. Although many talk about... what they 'think' they know. Sometimes... something seems to be against God. But whether it is or not however... depends entirely upon the Person trying to determine the 'for' or 'against'. In actuality... not ONE THING... is ever against God. For 'All of Us'... are within God. So God is 'All of Us'. And God is not against itself. For one Eye is not against the other. Or your Heart against your Body. All is 'for' the Other. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18406-1981 THE MIRACLE I AM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every time I write I create a Miracle. Perplexing in Beauty and silencing the Mind. For I am a Miracle. For what I am... is the Infinite and Eternal Force called God living through me. For God is doing the Living... and the Writing. For all the Words I write are the Thoughts I feel translated into Symbols. Conveying the Miracle I am. The Living God in the Form of Man. Spelling. Revealing... God in Words. For You to read. For You to feel. The Miracle I am. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18407-1981 TO SEE MYSELF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the Force called God. And I have no Rivals. For I am all Rivals. NOTHING... is in Competition with ME. For I am ALL. Seemingly divided... among Myself. But actually... united Within ME. But Few do know. And although Many of You do not seem to be with ME... Nobody is against ME. For to be against ME... is IMPOSSIBLE. For I am ALL. And how can the Moon... be against the Sun? Or how can an Eye... be against its Sight? I am the All Pervading Force... that flows through You. Heals You... and Maintains You... and makes You grow towards ME. For I live in You... to see MYSELF. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18408-1981 YET... GOD I AM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am God... the eternal Giver. And bring to You THAT what You are. For You to use... For You to develop... and to return... THAT what I AM. Perfected. And do not try to hide behind the Mind that's You. In seeking... where I am not. Just love... that what I bring You. In all the Worlds and Forms I am. Just love... that what I bring You. In all the Time and Space I am. Just love... that what I bring You. For I am YOU... Yet... God I AM. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18409-1981 WITHIN GOD'S SPHERE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To attain Sublime Indifference or Divine Detachment from the World of Man is seeing The Sphere of God. And until you have learned some of this you will be suffering. Thus the more you see... The Sphere of God the more your Life is Pleasure. Sublime Indifference or Divine Detachment from the World of Man is not just Coolness or Retraction from Man and his World. It is precisely the very living with Man yet being the very you unaffected that projects you into The Sphere of God. Yet the World of Man is but the World of Man. A talking animal show. A noise that's nonsense. To know however... that once you were but noise yourself... is knowing that Man is YOU... but younger. And also remember... ALL of US... are the Music... Within God's Sphere. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18410-1981 GOD THE INVISIBLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Physical Universe... all the Galaxies and Stars... the Sun and her Planets... and all we see in Nature... is The Garment of God. And the Spirit of God... is what lives within it. It's Invisible. And like a Fragrance... is the Creation of a Flower... so is... The Garment of God... the Creation of God. The Invisible. God... The Invisible... manifested in a Physical Reality in which we think we live and are Ourselves. We are however... Sustained and Pervaded by The Spirit of God. The Invisible Essence. And in time... All of Us will realize that the Universal Dust out of which we arose is but The Cloak of THAT what is REAL. God The Invisible. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18411-1981 ABOUT THE ME... DIVIDED ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Within the One I am... is a Part of Me... that is already Home. And the Rest of Me... the Part that is still here... is struggling. This is the Part of Me... that is Homesick. Homesick... for where I partly am and cannot be for being here but Me. I am then seemingly divided. Divided between thinking and feeling. Divided between 'that' what I am here and 'that' what I am at Home. Yet I know... that I should be where I am. For that's where I am. Divided... between the One I am here and the Part of Me that is already Home. While the Part of Me... that is already Home... is Me the Total. Me the Total... without the Dream that writes about the Me Divided. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18412-1981
