To One and All... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The poems in the following * POEMS19.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 -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- TO FIND THAT YOURS... ARE REALLY MINE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Open Eyed... and open Minded... she is a Soul... that shines in Dust. Quite alert... and somewhat driven she always thinks... she must and must. With Confidence and 'Super-Sport' she floats through Life that seems too short. And in Ages of Years that past she was a Form of different Cast. She was herself... in Life and Lustre... a Lovely Maiden... or Broncobuster. Yes... she was there. And so was I... talking... telling... on Tea or Rye. For Life 'Dear Eyes'... is lived in Mind while Form or Shape is but its Grind. And the Lessons of this Earth's Domain are Self-Designed to bring us Gain. To finally flee from Dust and Man to God and Planes... we cannot scan. Where we will meet... with Eyes Divine... to find that yours... are really mine. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 18413-1982 THAT LIVES THE MAN WITHIN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everybody on Earth... is on a different Trip. Yet... everybody is looking for the same thing. And until we find it... we act like deluded Fools. We are deluded by the Earth... and by the Man within that 'thinks ' to be himself. Many and many times... we have made this Trip. In different Forms and to many Places. Whatever we do... and wherever we go... it all leads to nothing else but the Re-enforcement of the Man within. The Man that is not there. Yet... again and again this Man arises. With new Thoughts... and new Ideas... to search again. All Thoughts and Ideas however... are but arbitrary Illusions... of the 'Illusionary Man' within. And no Illusion ever will be 'The Real'. And until we find 'The Real'... we suffer and call it Life. But eventually we will understand that each Trip was but an 'Act of Self-Defense' to affirm the Dreamer and his Illusions. An 'Act of Self-Defense'... to be surrendered to 'The Real'. The All Pervading Force... that lives the Man within. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19414-1982 WITHOUT A DOUBT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Silently she comes while I dream and write. And she lets me. Touching me invisibly. She is herself... breathing me. Patiently. By being me... in writing... she waits. And in my Dream I feel her Presence shining. Lovingly. I feel embraced by a Sphere of Light as from a million Candles. Like a Glow of Love. She surrounds the Thoughts I dream and write. Smilingly. And I but dream and write the Lines of Words a'tumbling. She then slowly reads my Dream... and dreams. Knowing that all is well. For Love is Present... without a Word... without a Doubt. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19415-1982 TALKING ~~~~~~~ I am a Great Talker. However... I do not know anything. I only know something about something. And all in all... even that does not amount to very much. But if you want to talk... well... I am game. I mainly talk... about Subjects other People... are very quiet about. The Subject is LIFE. And although I have lived many Lives I cannot consciously remember One of them. Yet... I am all of them NOW. And in the Nowness I live I do not know 'who' or 'what' I really am. But one thing is for sure. Whatever it is I am... is being lived. Being lived... sustained... and acted upon to make me 'The One' that IS. God living. In Me and through Me. Talking. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19416-1982 PLAYING ~~~~~~~ Only when your work has become play will you be happy. But as long as your work is work you will need Time and Money to get away from it all. And do... what you call play. To do this however... you need to work. But somehow work has become so time consuming that there is little time left to play. So most of the time... you just grumble along to do your work in order to play. Life however is too short to spend your time grumbling about work. So... why don't you change your work into play and be happy. To do this... you only have to change your attitude. And that is all that is needed. For your attitude makes you the player at work. Playing. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19417-1982 MAKES ME FORGET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That... what I am... I am Alone. In Aloneness. Yet... in that what I am... I am All Others. But in my Aloneness... I do not know that. For only when I have found that I am not alone I will know that I am All. To do this however... will take me many Periods of Aloneness... in being just me the Loner. Sooner or later though within that what I am I will find the Total. While now... the total I am is but dreaming that I am alone. For in all my Dreams... I create the Illusions of my Aloneness. The Illusions I suffer... in the Lives I live. For that what I really am... beyond my Dreams... is THAT what I am all along. GOD. But being Man for a while... makes me forget. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19418-1982 THEN THERE IS ONLY VIEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To disagree with Someone else is like a Tree disagreeing with the Earth. To not see the other Point of View is limiting yourself but to yourself. Never though... just agree to please the Other. Just admit that you are too small to 'see' the Other's Viewpoint. For neither you... nor the Other... is either Right or Wrong. There is no Right or Wrong. It is just that many of us are looking from our Own Spot of Smallness. We see Differences... because of our Limitations. But in actuality All of Us... are the Other. To 'see' that this is so... just open up your Mind... to the Feeling Being you are. Just open up your Feeling Mind. Many People are looking from the Angle of Selfness. The smallest Angle in the Universe. From which nothing can be seen... but the Smallness of a Closed-Mind. Once you know... that Each of Us are All of Us... all Disagreements and Angles disappear. Then there is only VIEW. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19419-1982 OF WHY... OH WHY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes... oh my Janet... so Subtle and Deep with Tears of Treasure softly asleep I see hidden in the Janet I know a Soul in slumber of Brilliant Glow. Please do awaken to the Soul you are and shine as the Truth I see from afar. For Deep in your Being the Being I know from within is hidden the Pleasure of God and its Kin. And once in Ages that are gone since when we loved and loved for we were then. For I silently remember our saddening Goodbye and our wondering Questions... of why... oh why. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19420-1982 IN GOD'S EYE ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Golden Hearted Good and True Oozing Love. That's you... yes you. Living Life is self-surrender being you with softness tender bringing Joy with Words and Glance taking Spirits for a Dance. Where did I see these Eyes so True... where did I meet the God that's you? Where have I been to know your Soul to recognize that you are Whole? Where will I go to find again... what will I do and when... and when? Sakae... Sakae... You are a Pleasure... in God's Eye! -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19421-1982 THE WAY YOU ARE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tingling Laughing and Bubbling Life. Hope... you count at least for Five. And way beyond the Smiles I see you know the Depth that sets you free. So be yourself in the 'here and now'. For you do know the 'why and how'. And never... ever... in time of strife... forget you are... the Gift of Life. So bring to Man your pleasant Gleam. For All of Us... are but One Team. Please shine forth my Brilliant Star... with Light and Warmth the Way You Are. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19422-1982 GOD EMBODIED... CALLED MAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each Human Being is the Embodiment of God on Earth. So the Life you live... you live as God on Earth. So BE God. BE what you are... to the Fullest. At all times. Never look back... don't look ahead... but BE what you are NOW. For the Moment of Nowness is the TIME and TEACHER of your Life. Telling you that there is neither a Specific... nor a Common Way... to BE what you are. Just BE what you are... your Way. And live Life... as God Embodied. For that's what you are. God Embodied... called Man. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19423-1982 AND BURDEN ME WITH FULLNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes... when I think of You I cry because of Happiness. For I feel then that there is no Separation between You and I. And neither is there a Separation between You and I and the World of Man. In these Moments... I feel to be ME to the Fullest. And yet I know... that I am not 'empty' enough to receive the Fullness of God to the Fullest. But for NOW I am pervaded by the Feeling of Fullness to the Limit I may. And All I am... and am not disappears beyond that what I feel within. And All this happens... because I think of You... The Love I am. Thus my Love... please stay forever... and burden Me with Fullness. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19424-1982 AND MAKES US WHOLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beyond the Words I cannot find I see her Face so Soft and Kind. I feel her Sphere... her Touch of Living I sense her Soul... her Gift of Giving. I see her Being in God Divine. I see her Life by knowing mine. While Deeper yet than Words or Mind I see the SELF... that's her in Kind. The SELF that lives in Man Alone. The SELF that is by Man unknown. But yet is felt... beyond our Sense. Forever there without Pretense. Forever there in Heart and Soul. The LOVE that IS... and makes US Whole. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19425-1982 I AM BUT ME ~~~~~~~~~~~ What I am... is 'that' what I am aware of as ME. My Awareness however is limited... and so am I. In actuality however... I AM UNLIMITED. But the Ideas I have... about myself... or the selfness I seem to be to myself is in actuality what limits me. To become... what I really am... I must lose my selfness. How to do that... is what I am learning... by being me... the limited. When I finally have learned completely... that my selfness is useless to me... I will be ready to accept... what I really am. UNLIMITEDNESS. But for now... I am but me. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19426-1983 WITH ME ALONE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes... I am so full of good Feelings that I try to share them. The Sharing I'm trying to do gets me into odd situations. For what I want to share are my Thoughts. But when I speak... people look at me as if I'm crazy. However... they regard me with tolerance. The tolerance of endurance. Many people just feel ill at ease by what I say. For what I say... is not within their Thinking Range. My Thinking Range... they regard as crazy. What I say touches them within the Range of the Unknown. The Range of Godness. And to them... God is Fear. Sooner or later they will find the Range of Godness to be... the Range of Feelings. Like I do. In the mean time... I share the Fullness of Me... with Me alone. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19427-1982 IS SERVING GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What the usual man calls 'Luck'... the holy man calls 'Grace'. And while the usual man 'thinks' that he lives his own Life the holy man 'knows' that he is lived by God. Both the usual man with his 'Luck'... and the holy man with his 'Grace'... are Aspects of The Play of God. The usual man and the holy man are 'actions' of God and both 'actions' are equally valid in this Cosmic-Play. Since God is The Perfect-Divine-Radiant-Force within all Space-Time-Matter-Worlds and within the Universe of Consciousness the Universe is exactly as it should be. At all times. Life... in whatever Matter-Form or Spiritual-State is a Modification of this Radiant-Force. To Know this is to realize the Insignificance of Individual Existence. But yet.... Individual Existence in whatever Form or State is essential to make up the Universe as it is. All Beings in Total form The play of God. The Play of God then... is the action of all Beings that are manifested in forever higher Degrees of Awareness and live Life as God in an Individual State. To live Life in an Individual State as a Modification of God in service of the Universe... by either 'Luck' or 'Grace'... is serving God. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19428-1982 THE MIRACLE I AM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Whole Universe... High and Low... Far and Near... in Greatness and in Smallness is a MIRACLE. And I... I am the One... to witness this Miracle. And if it was not for ME there would be Nobody. There would be Nothing. For since I am. The Miracle IS. Everybody IS. And All that is not Everybody. While ALL THAT IS... together constitutes the Magnificent Cosmos. Known and Unknown. Containing in Splendor All Planes... All Space-Time-Worlds and All Beings... Great and Small. Arising out of... 'THE DIVINE MAGICIAN' People call God. As it was... as it is... and as it will be... forever and ever. To be witnessed by... The Miracle I Am. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19429-1982 GREATER THAN YOUR GODNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everybody is an Instrument of The Infinite Force... called God. This Infinite Force... is the ONE and ONLY that lives us and pervades us. Yet always... IT is itself. And the Fact that you or I pretend to be somebody... is just as crazy as that you or I pretend to be Abraham or Moses. For none of us is anybody. All of us are The Infinite Force... that lives us and pervades us. And anybody who thinks to be - somebody - is conditioned and deluded by his own thoughts. To come to the above realization is the result of seeing through... the Illusion of Personal Identity. For All of Us are... The ONE and ONLY Infinite Force called God. And if you think differently... your personal Identity or Ego... is greater than your Godness. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19430-1982 WHAT GOD IS NOT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God is not something you can think about. For God is 'that'... what enables you to think. God then is the Force... out of which all Thoughts are made of. God then... is the Force or Essence that existed prior to ALL Thoughts or Ideas. God is something... you can never think of. For as soon as you think... you have modified or altered... what God is... into an Idea. Your Idea. God then is the Unknowable. God is the Unknowable-Divine-Force. And All That Exists... has arisen out of THAT what God is. God then is the Source... of All That Exists. And All That Exists... is a Modification or Product of God. All Modifications or Products of God are Manifestations of God by means of Thought. For ALL Manifestations of God have come about by the Processes of Thought that work upon... THAT what God is. And are... WHAT GOD IS NOT. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19431-1982 FOR GOD IS CHANGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In many Poems... and in many of my other creations that are produced by me... I have stated many times... that YOU are GOD. Or that I am GOD. This naturally is utter Nonsense... For NOBODY is GOD. For any 'one' particular Being... to be God is the ONE and ONLY Impossibility in the Universe. God is a Force... by whatever name... out of which... ALL has arisen. And not any ONE Thing or Being is this Force in and by itself in Totality. Yet... You or I however... or ANYTHING else... are as close to God or could be identified as such as that we ever will be. Regardless of the State of Being... we are in. For whatever exists... is... at whatever state... the Form of God... in the state it is in. Neither close... nor far. But always changing. For God IS Change. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19432-1982 AND KNOW IT ~~~~~~~~~~~ Mankind in all Forms... from all Galaxies... all Animals... Trees... Flowers... and Plants... in all States of Being... in the Total Creation... are the 'action'... of The Play of God. God is... the 'Infinite-Vibratory-Divine-Energy'... that permeates and pervades Creation... with an Unconscious Creative Feeling... that becomes 'Consciously Aware'... in the created Individual Forms... as 'that' Consciousness. Whatever it is. God then... is the All Pervading Unconscious Creative Energy that becomes 'aware' of itself... as itself within ITS Creations. The Human Being... is 'one' of these Creations. While all Experiences of this Human Being help to awaken... the Human Consciousness during its Living... prior to Total Awakening. Each Human Being... will eventually find itself... on the Road to Becoming... a Greatness... as a God Individualized. And KNOW it. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 19433-1982
