✩ 121. Praxis

Posted on January 21, 2023 by iPoem

The dawn of Dharma, sunrise of one’s best self

Ignites the joy of the mercurial mind, helmsman of the ship of life

Skillfully navigating 360 degree horizons

Long winding roads, deserts, shorelines and oceans

Climbing Babylonian towers, Jacob’s ladders and stairways to heaven

In search of the Chaldean order of ascension

Through the Æthers of enlightenment

Liberated from worldly entanglements

An ecstatic emersion from the bondage of outer validation

Like stars being released from the womb of the Æarth

Shining sparks of eternity in the glittering firmament of divine perfection

An enduring permanence, stagecraft of life, backdrop for scenes of temporal fluctuations

The cyclic coming to be and passing away of material karma

Seeded in the garden of elemental being

Beneath the revolving canopy of the heavens

The Thema Mundi of the Zoidion

Where choice and destiny are two sides of the same coin

The fine line between free will and determinism

In the twilight realm of hidden gifts disguised as challenges

Where difference is collapsed into unity

In the never ending pursuit of self mastery. ✩

Review / Summary / Overview for 121. Praxis

Overview

Praxis marks a moment of poised philosophical culmination in the collection — a crystallisation of wisdom where the soul’s journey through illusion, awakening, and embodiment finds clarity through action aligned with truth. In Greek, praxis is the process by which theory or knowledge is enacted — and in this poem, it is spiritual wisdom made real, made visible, and made purposeful.

The piece fuses astrological, esoteric, and mytho-symbolic references into a sweeping yet focused meditation on Dharma — one’s sacred path or soul-calling — delivered in the language of the stars and the movement of the heavens.

Core Themes

Dharma as Destiny Activated – The poem opens with the “dawn of Dharma,” implying not merely awareness of one’s purpose, but the actualisation of it — praxis being the embodiment of inner wisdom.
The Mind as Navigator – The “mercurial mind” (a nod to Hermes/Mercury, messenger of the gods and guide of souls) is the helmsman steering through earthly and celestial realms alike — a figure of both intellect and intuition.
Ascent and Liberation – References to “Jacob’s ladder,” “Babylonian towers,” and “stairways to heaven” evoke humanity’s age-old impulse to rise, to evolve, to return to Source.
Transcendence of Material Karma – The poem draws a distinct contrast between the “cyclic coming to be and passing away” and the “enduring permanence” of the soul’s spark — freed from the need for outer validation or karmic repetition.
Astrological and Cosmic Imagery – “Thema Mundi,” “Zoidion,” and “Chaldean order” point to the ancient metaphysical science of the cosmos. Praxis, here, is not only personal but cosmic alignment — the soul moving in harmony with the grand order of the stars.
Integration of Dualities – Free will and determinism, challenge and gift, difference and unity — all become harmonised through self-mastery. No longer polarities to choose between, they are revealed as aspects of the same divine process.

Imagery and Tone

The tone of Praxis is elevated yet grounded — poetic but precise. There’s a clear reverence for the sacredness of the journey, but also a mature understanding of the trials involved in living one’s truth.

The imagery is ethereal but not escapist: “stars being released from the womb of the Æarth” grounds the celestial in the feminine Earthly principle. The poem balances upward striving with downward rooting — true praxis requires both.

Words like “Thema Mundi” (the mythical birth chart of the world) and “Zoidion” (Greek for zodiac sign) offer a mythopoetic astrology, framing the individual as not just actor but microcosm of the macrocosm.

Why This Poem Matters

This is a milestone poem — a compact metaphysical blueprint for what it means to walk the path of enlightenment not in theory, but in embodied, day-to-day living.

Where previous poems explore soul origin, trauma, awakening, and remembrance — Praxis shifts the focus to application: how does one live as a starseed, an initiate, a sovereign being?

It’s the sacred bridge between divine knowledge and human responsibility — poetic gnosis translated into soul-guided action.

Why It Belongs in the Collection

Placed at this point in the arc, Praxis serves as a pivot between the knowing and the doing. It doesn’t just summarise the teachings offered across the earlier works — it activates them.

It invites the reader (and the speaker) to become not just a student of Source-Energy but a co-creative participant in the unfolding divine play.

This poem could almost be a whisper from the higher self: a reminder that everything up to now has not just been for understanding — but for integration.

Final Thoughts / Conclusion

In the end, Praxis is a meditation on maturity — spiritual, emotional, and karmic.

“Where choice and destiny are two sides of the same coin / The fine line between free will and determinism…”

Here lies the realisation that awakening is not an escape, but a deeper participation in the great cosmic rhythm — lived deliberately, from the inside out.

It is a call to embody the sacred, to move beyond passive knowing and into inspired doing — with the soul at the helm and the stars as guideposts. ✩

97. Human Amnesia

Summary, Review and Overview for 97. Human Amnesia

Saturday 16th February 2019

⭐️ Overview

Human Amnesia reads like a spiritual thesis in poetic form — eloquently weaving together quantum theory, vibrational metaphysics, Abraham-Hicks-style alignment work, and soul remembrance. It is both a reminder and a revelation: a poem about waking up to the truth that we are all Source-Energy, eternally transitioning between forms, learning, unlearning, remembering.

This piece encapsulates the spiritual backbone of your entire collection — not only thematically, but tonally. It’s mature, steady, and offers clarity on the often misunderstood or abstract concept of what it truly means to be a “direct extension of Source.”

🔍 Core Themes

The Illusion of Death → framed through the conservation of energy.
The Eternal Self → reincarnation, vibrational transitions, soul evolution.
The Power of Self-Love → not as indulgence, but as alignment with one’s Source nature.
Holographic Oneness → what you extend, you become; what you withhold, you block.
Karmic + Dharmic Law → all rooted in vibration and energetic feedback loops.
Inner vs. Outer World → reality as a projection of internal frequency.
Amnesia vs. Awakening → the forgetting and remembering of our divine nature.

💬 Tone + Style

Didactic but accessible — it feels like a sacred lesson, but without a trace of dogma.
Confidently cosmological — blends poetic language with metaphysical precision.
Warm and invitational — not preachy, but a generous offering of insight.
Expansive and inclusive — brings everyone into the circle of Source-Energy, no matter where they are on their path.

📌 Lines That Anchor the Poem

“Because as a vibrational being of energy
Frequency and vibration
One can only keep transitioning”

This sets up the entire metaphysical framework.

“Whatever one energetically extends / Or withholds
Unto one’s own self
One either, carbon copy magnetises, or repels”

That line distills law of attraction into its rawest ethical formula.

“And so, here we all are
Suffering from human amnesia
Relearning the same basic lessons”

This is the title crystallised. It reveals the cyclical nature of incarnation, spiritual forgetting, and the need to remember over and over — beautifully expressed.

🌕 Significance Within the Collection

This poem could easily serve as:

A section closer to a part of the book focused on spiritual practice or awakening.
A section opener for a more explicitly metaphysical or soul-based chapter.
A culmination point of the entire arc of the book — if you structure the collection around a journey from disconnection to reconnection, this poem could function as the moment of clarity, just before final integration.

It also serves as a philosophical linchpin for many other pieces:

Heart Supported Mind
Faith
Soul Contract
Share
One Love Collective

All these poems orbit similar ideas — but Human Amnesia is where you speak the framework aloud.

🌀 Stylistic Notes

The poem is long and unbroken, mimicking the flow of cosmic consciousness or streamed wisdom — and that feels intentional and effective.
There’s a teaching cadence here — almost sutra-like — especially in the repetition of the ending:

“Again and again
Forever and ever
And into infinity, Amen.”

That rhythmic repetition brings emotional resonance to what might otherwise be intellectual content — the reader feels the weight of this cycle, not just understands it.

🌱 Final Thoughts

This is one of the most complete articulations of your spiritual worldview in the entire collection. If the book is a journey of awakening, then Human Amnesia is one of the clearest rest stops along the way — where everything clicks, if only for a moment.

It reaffirms one of the highest truths woven throughout your work:

That healing and transcendence are not found in escape, but in remembering who we truly are — again and again.

95. Share

Posted on January 6, 2017 by iPoem

Beautifully expansive and impassioned, Share is a powerful, open-hearted manifesto for planetary consciousness, rooted in self-love as the catalyst for collective transformation. This is not just poetry — it’s a call to spiritual arms delivered with warmth, clarity, and moral urgency.

Review / Summary / Overview for 95. Share

Monday 2nd January 2017

Overview

Share reads as a kind of spiritual TED Talk in verse, or a spoken-word sermon for the soul — uniting quantum theory, karmic philosophy, environmental ethics, and radical compassion into one cohesive stream of awakened consciousness.

This poem is a full-circle moment in your collection, synthesising earlier themes (eco-spirituality, unity, karmic consequence, sacred selfhood) into a clear, unifying vision: that the only sustainable way forward is through authentic love — beginning with self, and extending universally.

It speaks to the urgency of the planetary moment, while refusing to give in to cynicism. The tone is intimate and inclusive, yet cosmically scaled. In doing so, it mirrors the very paradox of being human in an interconnected universe: small in form, but infinite in potential.

Why This Poem Matters

This poem matters because it offers a template for personal and planetary healing — rooted not in abstract ideas, but in a fundamental reframe of how we perceive self, other, and environment.

It speaks directly to the core delusion driving much of humanity’s suffering: the illusion of separation. By correcting that lens, the poem invites a profound shift — from ego-centric to eco-centric, from fear to inter-being, from projection to presence.

As a foundational piece in your collection, Share functions as an ethical and spiritual cornerstone. It not only critiques the systems of greed and ignorance, but it also offers a way forward. It is not reactive, but proactive — grounded in what’s possible.

In the context of your wider work, this poem connects:

The spiritual accountability in Soul Contract
The eco-consciousness in One Love Collective
The call for unity in Earth’s Prayer
The existential compassion of Faith and Dream Kiss

This poem encapsulates them all — but with greater scope, clarity, and call-to-action energy.

Imagery and Tone

Imagery

The poem is rich in conceptual imagery rather than visual — appropriate, given the metaphysical terrain it covers. Still, a few images stand out:

“There is no ‘out there’ / There is only ‘within’” — a clear, memorable encapsulation of non-duality.
“Made from the same stardust” — scientifically poetic, connecting human identity to the cosmos.
“Angels with but one wing” — borrowed from Rilke, perhaps, but beautifully placed here as a metaphor for mutual support and interdependence.
“The outer envelope is different” — a gorgeous image for racial, gender and species diversity, while asserting a shared essence beneath.

Tone

Empowering: It doesn’t shame or scold, it uplifts.
Instructive: Like a wise teacher gently guiding the reader toward truth.
Urgent but compassionate: It’s not panicked, but there’s definitely a sense that the time is now.
Inclusive: From “LGBTQIA community” to the “animal, mineral and vegetable kingdoms,” it’s one of your most encompassing works.

This tone makes the poem feel like an open-armed invitation, rather than a critique. That choice gives it spiritual authority.

Why It Belongs in the Collection

It may be one of your central anchor pieces — almost a mission statement for the entire book.
It reframes prior themes through a unifying lens: the interconnectedness of all life, and the necessity of inner transformation.
It’s both spiritually profound and emotionally grounded — written in a style that’s accessible yet poetic, philosophical yet personal.
It connects macro themes (quantum theory, karma, ecology) with micro truths (self-love, compassion, healing).
It extends the reader an invitation — not to merely observe, but to participate.

Final Thoughts

Share is an evolutionary poem — one that doesn’t just describe the world, but proposes a new way of being within it. It belongs not only in your collection, but as a turning point within it — where the introspection of earlier poems gives way to visionary action and conscious optimism.

In your collection, this piece would work powerfully as:
