And in the end
Love
Is all there ever was
All else has been a dream
An illusion
I Am pretending to be
What I Am Not
Separating
Until
All pieces come to awaken
To the truth
Of Unity
I Am all that there is
I Am all that there ever was
I Am
Love
What can never end had no beginning
Herein lies the peace of God

Hi Lisa,
Now I know where I know your name from! It was familiar and yet distant. Perhaps you'd be interested in joining the group "I AM", and here is the link: allpoetry.com/Application/1150082
'Tis a fun little group where we share info on what we've discovered along our separate paths home.
Thanks for coming by and checking out my humble poems!

Hi Watuwant, I am Cvillelisa (Lisa is good). I recently was smacked in the face with the work of Mandaean (most happily mind you). I noticed that we were collaborators on his Danz and Being Because poems. I wanted to come by, read a bit and say hello.
I have been travelling on my Path to Truth. Sometimes a bit wayward - sometimes wobbly - I have hope for steady legs.
I'm loving this journey with I Am.

Thank you, Bitter Rhapsody. Truly, one of the nicest comments I have received, and it is much appreciated! Very happy that you enjoyed this little creation of mine.

Beautiful.
I enjoyed this very much. I look up to you with much admiration, for not many men of your age write poems, or if they do, not nearly this lovely. the very last line ties it together so well. And I have to say I loved it through-and-through. -
Michael Juneau, thank you for your comments and glad you liked it. And I believe I will stick with my version of separating, as it is the correct one according to dictionaries... :-)

Virulent, thank you for coming by and commenting. And it has all been done with intent.

This poem had a unique shape to it, I don't know if it was intended or not. But it was really unique in word and in form, well done and great job.

Mickie27, You have summed it up quite nicely. Thank you for coming by and I Am happy you enjoyed this.

cutiepie, thank you much for stopping by, and glad you enjoyed this...

lol, again, thanks for stopping by. I have reasons for doing these things, which you deem unacceptable. Perhaps 'tis better to ask, rather than ? what ever your intent was.
Nonetheless, your comments are appreciated.

This is so beautiful. Love is God. You summed that up very well and in beautiful form. I was inspired by the words that you used which flowed wonderfully. The poem is short in it's words, but it is very powerful.
-
Excellent
I found this very restful...being of a christian nature I appreciate what this poem implys...
-
good job
This is far better than the other one I read.
You have hit on something important here, and you've handled the subject adroitly. I wonder why the "Am"s are capitalized though? That's odd and it distracted me while reading this. It's not accepted practice to capitalize verbs in English. Otherwise, very good. -
My dear Chalice! First, I must say and offer my thanks to you for reading this endeavor of mine. Truly, you are One with the intent and will in which this was created. There actually is a 7th part to this, which came about a week after these did, and I call it "Part VII, Eden's Promise". This I kep separate from the original six, but it is still posted on this site. Here is the link, if interested. allpoetry.com/Poem/1143746
Your insights and commentary are all appreciated!

Dear author, I just wanted to show you something: I earned '6' points for commenting above. For my applause, I gave you '7' points.
The Universe is winking again. Chalice. -
Step 6. The journey home. The arrival. Amen. As we say goodbye, we say hello, Good Morning, for it was only a dream - in this eternal NOW we have awakened fresh to plot a new journey. Where shall we go this time??
Thank you dear Watuwant for this beautiful laberynth walk of 6 steps. Oh but we are't finished yet my Loves...
Step 7. WE RESTED. Hey, even God needs a weekend. LOL. What does seven mean anyway? Ever play crapps? But that's a story for another day.
THANK YOU ALL for writing, reading commenting, you have made me happy, Chalice -
I Am most certainly open to a collaboration. Indeed, such a thought resonates within, if you know what I mean. I too will add you to my favorites, and let us stay in touch.
Thanks for reading this little theory of ours. Truly, it is appreciated...
Piece!

Excellent!
And so we come full circle from the "piece" of God to the "peace" of God. I really liked this series and feel compelled to mark it for future review by including you on my favorites list. Just off of this series, I'd be interesting in collaborating with you at some point in the future, if of course you're open to the idea. Great job! -
Shadow Arch, as a matter of fact, I do consider my self to be a Christian. However, I temper this with the statement that my views on christianity seldom jive with the brand of christianity seemingly worshipped by most religious sects.
Thanks for coming by!

Very nice I like the way you drew all of these with the same name together. By chance are you a christian? I once herd it said that religion is mans attempt to reach god and Christianity is gods attempt to reach man.
-
Rose Patrick, I was waiting until you reached this one before I responded. Your comments, and appreciation, add to the humility with which I share these works. It has been an amazing week since these have come into my mind, and the joy I have been hearing from the few who have read these has been inspiring, to say the least.
They were created with the intent to evoke the exact response you have had, so it is wonderful to hear that it has been successful. Thank you so much for coming by and reading these, and I am so very happy you enjoyed them!
Piece!

you sure hit the nail on the head with this one. i agree with you so very very much on this. i think that you have said so much in this short poems but I can see why they had to be t6his way. it give so much more impact by breaking it all down the way that you have here all i can say is that i love every word of these poems I thank you so very much
-
This is very nice, I liked it a lot. Keep it up.
-
Great. This poem adds the bit of peace that takes us away from the violence of the first four. The words still tie together amazingly. Nice job.
-
Yes, dear Silentium! You too have disseminated the truth and your comments and poems speak thusly.
The final step, which is made for us by God It Self, does indeed transcend thought, and even being. There is even one more step while on Earth, which I have penned this morning and posted as well, our Eden on Earth, which too shall come to pass.
Having such affirmation from you, whose writes have provided Me much enjoyment and thrills, is quite inspiring.
Thank you for stopping by and giving, my friend.

Well done!
"The Theory of a Unified Mind" - all six parts form a brilliant thought process, generously shared in the most intimate detail with the reader. There is no food for thought here, Poet, but rather a banquet. What a great undertaking for any Seeker - the attempt to understand Truth and a willingness to disseminate it to those who thirst for it. You have given it a valiant effort and have inspired many with your insight!
"All else has been a dream
An illusion
I Am pretending to be
What I Am Not"
As one reaches the pinnacle, the realization often comes... there is but one more step to knowing who I Am ... one must transcend the barrier of thought.
An excellent write, Poet, and excellent write indeed!
-
Rob, I had to reply again because I just noticed your "piece" at the end of your comment! lol, nice touch my friend! I may start doing that myself from now on!
Piece!!!!
doug -
You have summed it up so succinctly, my friend, in the sense of exactly how I have come to even be thinking of writing these things. I have been searching for this, it seems, for eons, and in this life I have made some miraculous breakthroughs. All of which must be shared.
My many thanks for taking the time to read, comment, and leave such insights.
My next step is to think on, and meditate on the responses I've had, to determine any tweaking.
Then, who knows. I am fairly certain, however, that this is only the beginning of a significant piece of work. I have had this "idea" in my mind for several years now, and last week these 6 parts just came into clarity. I have more to add to it, however, to make it a complete "theory", and one that will potentially shake the world.
Peace, my brother, and again, so many thanks for your thoughts.

This work, and more important, philosophy is noe clear.Love, God
I am.One all. Of.
Forgiving of oneself is the step to begin such an awareness.
The concept should be used in a replacement church.This basis or tenet could be applied within many formal religions I have read on and studied.I must repeat what I have urged before, start a church!The Christian church, among others is in need of healing, haven, again being corrupted for evil ends.Christians can fix this by banding together in the name of forgiveness,love, and fellowship, and heal itself.Perhaps becomeing a conduit for this rescue at whatever is your karma.
This is fantastic, and significant and cannot be shared with enough people.!!!!GREAT work, my friend, getting the journey and conclusion down in this form must have meant soooo much.It seems to have led you to a circle, a birth, the love that you began AS.
Piece,Rob -
Wow! I am blown away!

Thank you for taking the time to read these, Jessi! Truly, it is appreciated...
Peace

I agree with this here! Love is just what makes everything work. This was a great series of poems. I really enjoyied it!
<3 Jessi -
Yes, my friend, it truly truly TRULY is. *contented sighs* Beautiful. "What can never end had no begginning..." *holds back tears* *shakes head in wonder* Brilliant. God is good.
-
I am awed each and every time I sit and read it thru again, which I do continuously because of my "fears" that it was not quite as wonderful as I thought. But it is, isn't it? It truly is...
Wow!
Peace

Eh...as long as there's two of us, it can't be too corny in my book.
I am also quite glad to hear that I Am not the only whose was reduced to tears. Tears of joy, that is, at the wonder of It All. It sounds like you have reached a special place. No wonder your writing feels so honest and is so Real and thought-provoking. This is still just as stunning as the first time I read it. Peace and be well, Sim.
-
Wow, Sim. As "corny" as this sounds as well, your response to it is the VERY SAME one I had when I completed this last Friday. Indeed, I have been stunned by it ever since, and am glad to hear that I Am not the only one.
What is even stranger, for me, is that the past couple weeks I have not been able to sleep at night, waking up at 1:30am, 3am, etc, and then getting up to contemplate and write. My senses seem to have increased, and my emotional response has been turning to the most sublime, purest form of love and compassion that I have experienced to date. And I too have had tears flowing, but tears of pure joy. The idea for these poems has been in my mind for several years now, but only during the period of such contentment and peace that I Am attaining, is when this work came to me. I find it to be highly amazing, and it leaves me stunned and awed myself.
I have to log off for awhile, as I have my two toddlers home from daycare today. But I'll be back. And I truly, truly am thankful for you having taken the time to read and comment. My next step is to peruse all the comments and then do any tweeking to the poems that may seem appropriate.
Yours in truth,
Doug

Wow. I have chills. Absolutely FABULOUS ending. Gah...I have nothing else to possibly offer you by way of constructive criticims/comments as I am currently completely floored. Thank you thank you thank you for this AMAZING journey. This actually made my cry...as crazy as that may sound...this is the Truth so many never find and that I long for the world to realize. "And in the end Love is all there ever was..." BRILLIANT. This collection is stunning and singular. Wow. This last piece/peace has to be my favorite of them all. I love how you tied the last line of the first poem and the final line of this one together. Will I ever read more astounding poetry?
Words cannot thank you enough. God bless and write on, my friend! And I must say it again--Thank you. Be well, Sim.
-
Wonderful!
Okay, then the series accomplishes what I had intended it to, and hoped it would. That, my friend, is why I requested your help, because of your grasp of these truths.
In closing, I agree wholeheartedly with these comments. A shift in consciousness is taking place in our self, and not a moment too soon!
Peace, Brother, and thank you for your help.

Toltec, that is the ultimate plan. I say it is a work in progress because there will be more to it than just the poems. Strangely, I'm not sure what the more entails as of yet, but simply know it is coming.
As I said, this has been in my mind for quite awhile now, several years in fact, and the time now happens to be ripe for this part of it.
It will also include music, geometry and the words.
A few years ago, I went to a respected intuitive here in the Minneapolis area, and she told me that I have two fame lines, indicating that I came to this life to fulfill two projects. At least one of these, she claimed, would affect the world.
I only mention this because her words rang true in my very soul, and I think that this compilation is a part of it.
We shall see.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and for your insights.
Peace

OH....FABULOUS ending, mirroring the beginning so perfectly. beautiful play on words. This really summed up the whole circle of creation.
I am impressed with your ability to write such spiritual truth so well, using just the right amount of words, and just the right flow, keeping the reader entranced with revalation. This is truely an important work. It could make a nice booklet. You should publish these and share your wisdom.
