To One and All... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The poems in the following * POEMS22.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 CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Light... out of which All is born... is not some Deity. The Light... out of which ALL arises... will never die. For IT was never born. But the God of the Churches... the God that is born within the Minds of Man... that God is dying. For this is the God... created by the Thoughts of Man. This is the God Man fears... worries about... adores... and looks up to. This is the Deity... that is useless to Man. But The Light... out of which ALL is born... is The Light that is within You. As well as... within your Brother. Honour The Light ... that is within You... and within your Brother. For it is the same Light. For the God you thought you knew... has brought us to where we are. To Chaos and Destruction. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22488-1983 THE GOD... THAT IS LOST ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gods... are Gods. And Gods are perfectly capable... of looking after Gods. But we as Man... are we as Man capable... of looking after Man. Do we as Man... care more about Gods... than about our Brothers? Do we put Gods... before our Brother? Gods... are Gods. They are all of One kind. Gods. UNTOUCHABLES. But Man... Our Brother Man. He needs ALL the care we have. He is the One... who needs Love and Understanding. Let's forget about Gods. But think about... our Brother Man. The God... that is lost. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22489-1983 BUT "I"... I AM REAL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Within my Being... all Moments are stored to recall. But yet... when I think of my Yesterdays... I find... that most of my Life... I cannot remember. Where was I then... when it all happened? Where are my Thoughts... that make up me? Have then the Days... joined the Nights... and All is but a Dream? And 'what' is it then... that might be Real? But slowly then... a persistent Voice from within... tells me... That I am Real. I am the Reality. And you know...? The Voice is Right. The Voice is Me... Reality. All else is but Illusion. But "I"... I am Real. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22490-1983 THE LIGHT MAN IS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God is an 'unconscious' Creator. Conscious Man... is God's Creation. The 'unconscious' Creator God is... becomes Conscious Man. Man however thinks... that he is but a Man. Man thinks... that he is some kind of Creature... created by some Greatness... that is 'conscious'... and knows about Man. God is the Force... that is beyond... 'being conscious'... beyond... 'awareness'. God only becomes 'conscious'... within its Creations. Man is one of them. When this Man-Creature... becomes 'conscious' of what he really is... he is astounded. When Man becomes aware... of his True Greatness... the Blind-God he is... sees The Light. THE LIGHT MAN IS. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22491-1983 THE ETERNAL SOURCE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tell me... what is the difference between a Computer... and a Human Being? Well... A Computer is a Man-made thing and made by Mind and a Human Being is the Expression... of Consciousness... The Primal Source. Mind... as well as Body... are Expressions of Consciousness. Mind... as well as Body... are Aspects of Life. Consciousness... is beyond and above 'All That Exists'. Consciousness IS Life. Life is God. God is You. You are Consciousness. So... Consciousness creates Human Beings... and Human Beings create Computers... with Mind and Body as Tools. Consciousness or Life IS. Mind and Body are its temporary Expressions. And these 'two'... can create anything desired. Consciousness... is the Essence of Creation. It is... The Eternal Source. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22492-1983 A SON OF GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life... Life in the Physical... is but a fad. It is something... to out-grow. To out-grow Physical Life though... takes many and many Lifetimes. And to out-grow Physical Life... is what you are working on. Yes indeed... to out-grow Physical Life... is what you are doing... right now. Most People are trying to out-grow Death. And all of them are Losers. For Death is impossible. You can never out-grow it. There is no such thing. For Life... Life is continuous. And only some stages are lived in the Physical. This is what Human Life... is all about. And to come to know this... is the first step in out-growing it. Many and many steps and stages... are beyond Physical Life. One of them... is to be a Buddha... or a Christ. Which means... to be... A Son of God. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22493-1983 GOD ITSELF AS YOU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By looking for the God in others... you will find the One within yourself. For the Godness you'll find in others... is 'that' what you are already. Since it is impossible to recognize... 'that' what you are not yet. Yet... what you are... is always looking... for what you are not yet. And if this was not so... you would never have become... what you are. Actually though... - you as such - never really become anything. For you are everything already. It is just... that you are not aware of it. Your so called 'becoming' then... in actuality is an 'awakening'. An 'awakening' to... - what you already are - but never knew you were. It is the 'awakening' to Yourself... by Yourself. Sooner or later... you will find yourself to be... God itself as You. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22494-1983 BUT THEY ARE GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I look at People... I can see their Godness within. And the closer I look... the more God I see. The more I see myself. Few People see the same thing I do. And most of them see but Man. The few that see the same thing I do... I do not have to be Friends with. For they already are Friends in sameness... within the God we are. The many People that see but Man... I treat with Care and Respect. They are the Ones that need a Word here or there. To make them find their Godness. Which is something only they can do. The Ones that have found it already... nurse it to Greatness and Worthiness. They look for the God in Others... and appreciate what they see. I can even see Godness in Animals and Flowers. I can also see it in Buildings and Sidewalks for All IS Godness. Within All People I find Godness. But some of them also have a lot of Sanctimoniousness. Which is the Pretentiousness of the Ego. For them I feel Compassion... since nobody can help them. They are conditioned... by religious-nonsense and still asleep. But they are God anyway. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22495-1983 AND SOMETIMES HARMFUL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you think that it is possible... to teach Poetry to Monkeys? Well... neither is it possible to teach God to Man. What is teaching God to Man? Teaching God to Man is... teaching Man Spiritual Value. Teaching Man what he is really all about. However... teaching Man what he is all about... cannot be taught. For what has to be taught... is a State of Being. The State of Being Whole. And Wholeness or knowing what is of real Value is not something that can be learned... by being taught. For it is impossible to become Whole. Being Whole... is something you are or are not. It unfolds from the Inside out. It is The Inner You... recognizing itself. And whatever it is... that is being taught by Churches... is not Wholeness. At the most what is being taught is... an emotional social habit. And some of it is harmful. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22496-1983 YOUR IMAGINATION... IS THE CREATOR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the whole Universe... there is but One Mind. This One Mind... is Your Mind. Since You however... are more than ninety-nine percent unconscious You accept your scope of consciousness as the Totality of your Mind. To do this is very Human. Most People do the same thing. The fact however that most People do this and accept this Limitation does not prove that indeed their Mind is as limited as it seems to be. For You... to become fully conscious... of the Totality of your Mind... You must first of all believe that your Mind is Unlimited. For in order for things to come true... You first of all have to believe that is is possible for them to come true. To say... "I believe it... when I see it"... is the most 'closed-minded' attitude... You could possibly accept. For believing or believing in it... is the Foundation of a Universal Law. This Belief or Imagination... is absolutely necessary... for things to come true. Your Imagination... is the Creator. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22497-1983 THE LIGHT THEY ARE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be afraid of God... is like being afraid of your own Shadow. Quite silly. Both God and your Shadow are Real. The One is Light... and the other is Darkness. And both of them are You. For you are 'Light'... as well as 'Shadow'. And to be afraid of either... is being afraid of yourself. Yet... this is what many People are... afraid of Themselves. For they shun God... and they shun their Darkness. Their Ignorance. Lifetime after Lifetime... they reject... or avoid... finding out what they really are. In the mean time... they keep themselves busy... with trying to become Someone. But whoever they eventually become... they will still have this silent sense... of being incomplete. Until they finally face their Inner-Selfness... that secretly longs for... The Light They Are. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22498-1983 A LITTLE BETTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most People you will ever meet are old Friends. Whoever it is you meet... you have met them before. In other times... other places... with other faces. And although you might think... that you have never lived before and that you have never met all these People that just is not so. For you... and all these other People... have been on this Earth or other Planets... many and many times before. The fact however... that you do not remember this... is a fortunate thing. For who would possibly want to remember... all the nasty things you did... or didn't do? It would be most unfortunate. For every Life you live... the same as for every day anew... you need a fresh start. Not only do you need a fresh start every Lifetime anew but you also need to forget... all the stupid little things you did wrong. In this Life or any other Life. While by all the mistakes you have made... either in this journey or any other... you have learned what you know now... a little better. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22499-1983 THE DIVINE INCARNATION OF GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life in the Physical Reality as a Human Being... is the Dream of your Soul. You then... as the physical body and conscious mind are the Physical Reality of this Dream. Your Soul's Dream then has become real... and is manifested as 'you'... in the Plane of Time and Space. The Plane of Time and Space... is a reality system or Realm of Being... that in and by itself is real... but is a 'projection' from... a Higher Reality Realm of Being. The Realm of the Soul or God. From the point of view of the Higher Reality Realm... the Physical Reality is a lower vibration... within the Cosmic Light Spectrum. This lower vibration within the Cosmic Spectrum is the Plane of Separation in which the Soul-Dream is projected... and in which the activity takes place. The Higher-Self... Soul-Self... or Christ-Self... is the Higher Reality System Personalized. When a physical vehicle or Body-Mind-Form... has prepared itself sufficiently... after many Lifetimes the Higher-Self enters the Body-Mind-Form... that lives in the Plane of Time and Space. The Greatness in Being of a Christ or Buddha cannot be compared to an ordinary Human Being. A Christ is... The Divine Incarnation of God. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22500-1983 THE NATURE OF MAN IS GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Nature of God is Love. The Nature of Love is Compassion. The Nature of Compassion is Understanding. The Nature of Understanding is Knowing. The Nature of Knowing is Intuition. The Nature of Intuition is Feeling. The Nature of Feeling is Soul. The Nature of Soul is Man. The Nature of Man is God. The Nature of God is Love. The Nature of Love is Compassion. The Nature of Compassion is Understanding. The Nature of Understanding is Knowing. The Nature of Knowing is Intuition. The Nature of Intuition is Feeling. The Nature of Feeling is Soul. The Nature of Soul is Man. The Nature of Man is God. The Nature of God is Love. The Nature of Love is Compassion. The Nature of Compassion is Understanding. The Nature of Understanding is Knowing. The Nature of Knowing is Intuition. The Nature of Intuition is Feeling. The Nature of Feeling is Soul. The Nature of Soul is Man. The Nature of Man is God. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22501-1983 MORE OR LESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before you come to the State of Knowing who or what you are you think that Enlightenment... is for somebody else. But once you know who or what you are... you know that Enlightenment is for YOU. AND Everybody else. For Enlightenment is Automatic. It is THE Process of Life. And working for it... is just about as impossible as working against it. For the more you want it... the more you miss it. While the One... who neither cares nor dares... neither suspects nor knows grows towards it full speed. So... Just in case you happen to know who or what you are... relax man... relax. For the more you want it... the further you push yourself away. And besides... What would you do different after knowing it? While by what you did before... you became what you are. By all the Mistakes you ever made... you became what you are now. Enlightened. More or Less. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22502-1983 IN THE FORM OF MAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHAT ARE THE BARE ESSENTIALS TO KNOW ABOUT MAN AND GOD? First of all... Man and God... are the same 'thing' Or 'phenomenon'. Secondly... God is not only Man. God is also all 'other'. God is all there is. Thirdly... since God is Man and Man is God... Man OR God is the Universe in Total. ALL that exists then... is a 'form' of Man or God. Some 'forms' are physical. Other 'forms' are non-physical. The physical forms make up the Physical Universe and the non-physical forms make up the Non-Physical Universe. Within the Physical and Non-Physical Planes of the Universe lives all 'Life' that makes up the Universe in Total. In the Universe... there is only 'LIFE'. There is no 'Death' of 'Non-Life'. Man then... or God... appears and makes up the Universe in Total. The Universe in Total... contains only Life. For 'dead-stuff' does not exist. The diversity of Life is unlimited and unrestricted. While nothing in our Universe is impossible. The diversity of Life appears in all kinds of forms and is either animated or inanimated. The boundaries between these two forms are indistinguishable. One of these forms of Life... is the Human Being. While many other forms of Life are to be found on other planets or planes. Forms of Man then... or forms of God... appear on all kinds of planets or planes... while the variety very well could be unlimited. The Stages of development of the different forms that live all over the Universe are on different levels or stages of awareness. The Human Being as such... is in the beginning stages of development. Other forms of Life in the Universe are much further advanced than the Human kind. The Human is a 'baby' in the Universe of Life. The Human Baby... is being looked after by the more advanced members. And whenever it is necessary our older Brothers intervene with the affairs of our planet. They seem to fly around in UFO'S. They study our progress. Most of the time they leave us alone however for the learning that is to be done by us has to be done at our own speed and capabilities. They could be called our Guardians. The Moon is their observatory. As well as other places. The Human Being then... is a certain species of Man or Mankind... and is the Human Representative of God. For 'that' what lives within us is the Universe of Life or God. As this Life then... or as this Godness... we are God in Human form. No form of whatever kind however... is more God than any other kind. Some of the species of Man are only Baby-Gods. While others are much older and wiser. In order for the Human Being to evolve and develop the Solar System and its planets were created to function as our dwelling place and school. For the planet Earth... is nothing but a Cosmic-School for the Human Being. The Custodians of this school have the responsibility to guide it. This guidance is done... with as little interference as possible. For we as Human Beings are to be responsible for our own progress and development. We are the Creator... of our own becoming Greatness as such. Naturally while we are in this process of growth we make all kinds of mistakes and misinterpretations with regard to our origin and who or what we really are. Our mistakes and misinterpretations... cause us a tremendous amount of suffering. Our Cosmic-School is more like a Hell... than a true school. All this suffering... is caused by ignorance. Slowly but surely though more and more Human Beings become familiar with the Divine Purpose of our endeavour on our planet. Which is... the awakening of the Human... to the Greatness of being God. This awakening process however... is an individual and independent affair. While truly and surely... nobody can awaken somebody else. The awakening of the individual comes about be means of the individual Soul-Knowledge that is attained by living and learning the lessons of Cosmic-School-Earth. These lessons are participated in... by living in a Human Body on Earth... and by living in an 'Astral-Body' off the Earth. Many and many trips back and forth... eventually teach the Consciousness of the Human the 'in and outs' of living as a Human Being. This semi-traveling of the Human Consciousness is in actuality a 'dream' of the Human Soul that assumes to be on Earth at one time and off the Earth at another. In actuality the Consciousness does not travel any place whatsoever since it lives or is always beyond Time and Space. The Human Soul or Consciousness then... is the 'entity' that is being directed towards the Stages of Enlightenment. The Human Body as such... is the Instrument or Vehicle that is being used by the Consciousness as the means and medium for living within the physical plane of Earth. This living on Earth... or other places is somewhat difficult for the Consciousness since as a Consciousness... it is in a strange environment. Since the Consciousness is of a different nature really it finds itself completely out of place within the physical. The feeling of strangeness tends to create within the Human Being the feeling of fear. This fear expresses itself in an insane behaviour that is witnessed all over the world. It tends to make the Human collect... either property or power that presumably eliminate the feelings of fear. In general the Human Being as such has the tendency to behave like an ass and shows very little understanding with regard to his own Greatness. This is a typical characteristic of a 'Baby-Being' that is unaware of its true and just value as God. The Human Consciousness then... living within a Human Body slowly but surely by means of the reincarnational processes becomes wiser and wiser and will eventually see itself as the God-Representative in Human Form. This however takes a considerable amount of time. Time however is the cheapest commodity there is. For we as God... are Time. We as God... are Space. We as God are the Universe. While the Universe as such... is the 'Place of Relationship' that we share with all other Beings. The Universe then... - and all There Is Within It - is a 'God-Family-Home' of infinite size in which only God-Beings... have their Way of Living. For species of Mankind however that are yet in a 'Baby-Stage' of growth there are places and spots within this Universe... that are specifically suited for the attainment of Wisdom. The Earth is one of these places and whatever the Human Beings do upon Earth it is far enough away from other places so that the Human Commotion does not bother others. Once however the Human Being starts to go into Space and acquires the possibility to blow the Earth to pieces it naturally becomes of a concern to our Guides. This was evident by the 'flap' of UFOs since the first atomic explosions. Our Guardians are concerned. They are as concerned as the City-Fathers would be when the City-Hoodlums are threatening to blow up City-Hall. All Cosmic Affairs are in good hands however since the whole Universal Wisdom is available to the Guardians that look after us. For All of Us are in perfect connection with each other by means of ... the ONE Mind we are. The Human Mind however... as such... is not yet capable of this kind of intuition. The kind of intuition that is meant here... is the intuition that is the Total Expanded Awareness that is common to all... Enlightened Beings of the Universe. For basically Enlightenment means... - Knowing that there is nothing to Know - yet being aware of 'All That Is'. It means being totally Awake... and being ONE with the Father. The individual Consciousness or Soul-Knowledge or Ego-Being has vanished by surrendering to the Mind of the Universe... or the Mind of God. This is the Stage of Being in which all fear has been transcended and manifests itself in Being Love. This is the Stage... in which One is totally 'Awake'... and all lifetimes as a Human Being are known as a dream of living in physical bodies. It means to have Conscious Command and Control to inter-connect with any other Being's Consciousness. Individuals of this Caliber in Greatness have perfect intuitive-connection with any other Individual in the Universe of equal Caliber in Greatness. These Great Consciousnesses... also have... direct connection in Mind with all Beings that are still dwelling within the Physical Universe. The Beings living there however... are not necessarily aware of this connection. For they... are not yet sensitive enough... to feel the inter-connectedness. The Human Being then... is part of the Race of Man... or the Race of Gods that is present all over the Universe of Life. While the Creation of Planets that are suitable for Life to sustain itself is the Creation of... our Older Brothers in Consciousness. So that lesser developed Beings... are given the opportunity of learning to eventually become like our Brothers in God. Each Human Being then... eventually and in a semi-automatic way becomes as Great as the Great Consciousnesses within the Universal Mind. To become this Great however... requires Conscious-Self-Development. It means getting rid of... the Ego-Mind or I-ness that is so familiar to us as a Human Being. This is the task every Human Being is working on... whether it is known or not. While each Human Being is the 'Seed' of his own Godness. For ALL that we will ever be... is already within us. GOD ITSELF. IN THE FORM OF MAN. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22503-1983 THE ONE THING CALLED LIFE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the total Universe there is but ONE thing... Consciousness. This Consciousness is an Eternal Enigma... of Perpetual Paradox... for it appears to be... Man and God at the same time. Consciousness... has two poles... these poles are Man and God. Man and God are inseparable... and are creating each other. For the One cannot be without the Other. Both of them form a Unit... that is ONE. Man and God then exist because of each Other. When God becomes Man... for most people God seems to disappear. And when Man becomes God... Man disappears into what God is. A man who becomes God... knows that he is a God-Man-Individual... that had to become Man in order to know that he is God. While God in and by itself can never know itself without becoming Man first. Consciousness then... being Man and God... can only become aware of itself as Godness by means of Mankind. While Mankind can only become aware of itself... by means of Consciousness or Godness. So... in the Universe... God and Man or 'being' and 'awareness' are the 'Yin' and 'Yang' of Consciousness. Consciousness... the Perpetual Paradox... The ONE Thing called Life. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22504-1983 OUR CREATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ People say... that God is God. And that God is invisible. But I say... that God is White... and Black. And God is Brown... and Yellow. For God is Everybody. And I also say that God is Handsome... and Muscular. While also... God is Female and Shapely. And many Gods are Beautiful. Also God is Hard and Cold... and full of Cunningness. And sometimes even called a Bastard. For God is Everybody. And Everybody is God. So... All Gods are fascinating... and intriguing. While all Gods make up the World of Man. For ALL of US are Gods in Flesh. For Man IS God. Personified in whatever we are. We are God in the Physical... Mankind. Living upon a World... that is God too. For ALL is God. And God the Physical... being Mankind has incarnated into the Physical Worlds as different Individuals in order to learn. To learn about... God's own Home-Ground... the Physical Creation of God. And while some Gods have blue eyes... other Gods have brown ones. And some eyes are slanted... while others are partly closed. That's why some Gods have learned more than others. And many Gods are but beginners... fighting the Devil... called Ignorance. And other Gods again... fight wars of righteousness... with the blessings of the ones that preach. And last of all... there are even Gods that are better than others. And these Gods imagine... that all other Gods are Sinners. To be punished forever. WHAT NONSENSE. For we as Gods... are the Creators of the Sun and Stars... and all the Galaxies. And we live on a Planet called Earth... to be in the Physical. We live in a Matter World we created unconsciously. To learn about it consciously. To learn about... OUR CREATION. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22505-1983 THE LIGHT WITHIN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I"... yes "I"... "I" am the Almighty God... and "I" play Universe. Playing Universe means... playing 'hide and seek' forever and ever. For in 'ALL THAT IS'... "I" am hidden. For You to find. 'ALL THAT IS'... is ME... in forever changing Forms. But few do know it. The few that know it and know ME know ME as they are. Being ME. And the part they play - as ME and for ME - is known to them as their part. During the act they play they come on stage... disguised in everything else... but ME. Time and Time again. For the 'real' player... - ME - does not come onto stage... like ME. It would be a dead give-away. So in the play of 'hide and seek'... "I" am disguised in ALL that You see... and change forever. Since the Blind are leading the Blind... all people are told that the play is for real. Very few find out that it is not. All players however are ME... acting not ME. Except for a few. If all players knew... that they were ME... the play would be a 'flop'. The way it works now... the play is 'Real as Life'. For most actors think they are themselves. The play is an Eternal-Life-Suspense-Drama. To find out that they are ME... is the Game. This however does not happen too soon... for "I" am hidden deep within... to be found by feeling. Yet it is impossible... to touch... THAT what "I" am. When the Curtains close... all actors have a good laugh at themselves. Before this however... most of them cry in Darkness. For "I" am The Light Within. -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=- 22506-1983
