so much better

when kali is alive and living 

as stillness 

she is then in the form

of truth

that has once laid coiled 

at the seat of the spine
and when awakened

moves as a snake 

through the passages 

(the chakras)

bringing forth debris 

in consciousness to be seen

and released

the debris moves thru

consciousness

and changes occur that 

are not at all within the norm

for the one experiencing them

it is like an opening of energy

and divine flow 

that moves the form 

into kriyas, mudras 

verbalizations 

lights, visions
and perceptual shifts

flood the being 

on many levels 

this is some of the
phenomena that can occur

it can be frightening if 

one does not understand it 

and even when one does 

it is difficult 

the one that is in the heart 

and has an energetic connection

with Guru

will move thru the 

experiences much better 

than if there is no such 

connection in place

the one that has a thirst for 

truth and is honest 

and sincere 

will move thru the shifts 

much better than 

if there are poor motives 

inside 

even under the best 

circumstances 

it is difficult 

this is for certain

there are so many changes,

shifts and then balancing out 

stillness, then back to mind 

and all the rest in between

it is not something that 

comes easily

(the peace that passes
all understanding)

it does not happen over night 

by any means 

it can take lifetime(s)

of steady efforts 

surrender and continuing 

forward into the fires 

yet it is worth it all

in the end 

to be within quietude 

and deep peace 

for what else is there worth

having?

the mind may tell you

there are so many things 

that will bring happiness 

but have you been in quietude

awhile?

you will know differently

that the best of the best 

is a quiet, peaceful mind 

nothing can compare 

and all that you *thought*

would bring happiness vanishes 

as a dream dreamt long ago

then that which is pure 

lives as a steady abiding peace 

so very much better than

anything mind generated
