Conscious Play (revised)

We catch ourselves

Weaving “reality” in the inner space of the mind

The play ground of the human race

 

The network of thoughts, the energy field of play

The notion of creation, the building block of the soul

We play the game, dividing the oneness of time

 

We perform our play, the unconscious role

The separate dream of unity

The false reality of time

 

As we build our world we lose the wisdom in our play

We're all one by birth

The never ending Now

The power of being

The “I AM”

Beautiful poem. Nice flow

Beautiful poem. Nice flow and content. Just lovely Stefan. Just one wee suggestion: As we build our world we lose wisdom {We all one by birth} Perhaps this would read better as:(we're or we are) The never ending Now The power of being The “I AM” xena465

And what weavings we could put on display in the attics..

Ann of Norway Some conscious some unconscious. "We catch ourselves Weaving “reality” in the inner space of the mind" I love this beginning as most of the time we are unaware of ourselves unless we are so self-conscious that we cannot even give ourselves time to think at all. And what weavings we could put on display in the attics of our minds, the exhibition would be a resounding success and so varied as to be impossible to grasp as a whole. The East tries to discard the I, and yet we keep coming back to find it there or us there as opposed to another I, or the you. Such worlds we live in, the conscious and the semiconscious, as the opposite would be the unconscious and there is not thought there! We are not always aware of which we find ourselves in at any given moment as we seem to pendulate between them don't we, however we look at it. Thought inspiring you always are Stefan

Just a thought Ann. Perhaps

Just a thought Ann. Perhaps there is thought in the unconscious and we just don't remember it in this reality. Judy

Its a very very fascinating area of study

Ann of Norway Yes in the same way people remember the conversation under an anaesthetic when they thought they were 'out'. Its a very very fascinating area of study and one that will never have all the answers, perhaps that's what makes it so fascinating? Will be thinking some more about this, thank you Judyanne that was nice of you to mention it to me. Love Ann
