~ Ascension Dilemma ~

Spring forward, lose an hour, gain an eternity,
as time speeds up exponentially.

Align with the stars, retrograde with Mercury and your email,
as Uranus stirs up some shift.

Don't rush out to the prayer meeting,
as holy men appear in your kitchen.

Embodied wisdom downloads, printed words cheapen,
as master channel choices proliferate.

Possibilities spin, dreams manifest,
as the ancient secret becomes a condensed hit movie.

Check your appointment book and financial planner,
as economic pyramids shake and calenders come to a close.

Our choices in each moment multiply, the results of our decisions lessen,
as karmic natural laws come to a balance point.

Some rapture, some rupture, some remember,
as consensus reality gets a chaotic shake.

Straight lines start to curve, hard science begins to twist, defined edges melt,
as we become aware of new dimensions overlaying our own.

Star people descend among us for last wake up call, shop and party,
as planet earth gets more alien.

Past souls journeys come alive and awake in the present,
as evolution comes to a head.

The cosmic portal beckons, the black hole sucks, the event horizon rushes forward,
as our magic quantum mirror returns with the answer to our question.

Duality quivers, the paradox explodes, the mystery deepens
as we reach that fabled fork in the road -

Ascension dilemma:
Bio-energetic light body or artificial intelligence machine?
Either/or?
Are we heading for the same space?

Somewhere in the now, one foot in the fire, one foot in the spiral,
as we dance, free of thoughts, clear in our hearts:

Love transcends all dilemmas.

Shadow Heart

What lies within
beneath the layers of manifestation
What gifts of joy
arises in the depths of meditation
Peeling back the layers
of life and death and transformation
A journey of many curves and twists
both far and deep
The moons reflected light dims
darkness proceeds across her face
The suns fire hidden
by this turn of the earth
Divine mystery and perfect science
converge in a juxtaposition of animal and angel
Descend into lust
don't forget this body, this moment
Ascend into the light
remember this spirit, this eternity
Connect that line, free of duality
in the center of your shadow heart

Dancing Tree Lady

reach up from this ground

rejoice even in this darkness

remember the shadow on your other side

resurrect continually your life from this gravity

the tree goddess gives us a message

without saying a word

poised between rock and air

still yet ever turning

yoga stretch in a long view pose

fingers and toes, leaves and roots, connect sky and earth

centered in her ecstatic unity

natures perfect creation dance

Winter Solstice 2007

~ Quantum Romance ~

Warm fuzzy logic

Cool clear emotions

Subtle play at the core of our being

Grand creation at the edges of our universe

The physics of uncertainty

Light laughing at our either/or dilemma

Is it a particle or a wave?

Love sighing at the constant choices here

Radiate out or pull back?

Does it matter where we put our energy?

Or is our energy deciding, animate that matter?

Either way gets us looking for the other

The opposite pole that unifies the whole

The positive and negative, yin and yang,

that completes the circuit and the circle

Take turns with the hard and soft

Dancing divine, and vibrating oh so fine,

deep in your inner mind,

the particle and the wave.

~ A Cosmic Trigger Event ~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

a slight shift in perception

a subtle re-orient of view

see this moment through different eyes

feel this thought with a changed mind

external world collapses in

internal galaxies spin outward

ultraviolet light threads across the void of separation

now a shaft ~ now a ring

stimulating the next intention

creating the further manifestation

humming between the particle and the wave

the etheric whisper and the elemental explosion

a message and a portal superimposed across two dimensions as one

illuminate ~ activate ~ awake

ride the light or be ridden by fright

as the planet spins

and the sun sets

and the stars twinkle

we open our eyes to find

nothing is what it seems

"The Pillar of a Fragile Phenomenon"
Plasma Energy and Crystalline Glass

by Peri and Chaz

~ last of the beach burns ~

out on the western fringe
past the concrete and steel rails
little havens of wildness
the straight line gives way to shifting sands
a private moment for reflection and ritual
most ancient magical communion
fire of transformation and mystery
better than any TV show
play with the elements
and draw forth the muse
celebrating a free moment
soon to be illegal
only specters of presence
a shadow captured in a virtual realm

~ Religious History Unveiled ~

layers of meaning push on the brain
layers of pixels push on the eye
the great story becomes undressed
if we are unshocked by naked folly
where we came from becomes a myth
where we're going turns to diversion
our innocent babe just wants to be held
even as our wholeness is ripped asunder
the names in the game change
as the images revolve with the stars
false hope for the one true prophet
god grant me the faith
to save me from my beliefs


Words by Chaz Image by Tantra Bensko

~ Change agent ~

Forgive or forget?
Care to repeat?
Read your history lately?
Seen which way the stars are leaning?
When are we going to get there?
Let's hope your evolution matches your intelligent design.
When it comes time to drink the kool-aid, and pull the lever,
are you with us or against us?
How much do you want change?
Remember, there's always at least three choices in every moment.
But you only get to choose half the time.
Relax and enjoy, as you to, will be on the other side.

~ the end game ~

lucid fiction
slippery reality
evolutionary impulse
intelligent design
wake from the dream
go make a movie
escape this matrix
to find the one
smiling in absolute bliss at death

~ A new letter arises ~

calling forth a moment
blending the real and the blur tool
to invoke the mythic illegal fire
on the nearest sands of earth and water
scratching this mutable temporary image
to let the other side in
layers of light, bits and grains
coexisting as an offering to the muse
sinuous shapes rise from nothing
coalescing into letters,
aligning for prose
a new letter arises
to expand the vocabulary
of the untranslatable
