TO THE SEEKER [a poem]

The first esoteric books that you have read

Might have implied that Illumination is easy to be had
Even possible for everyone during one lifetime
As long as you stay away from serious crime

Just follow this Guru or his teachings and meditations
And you will have psychic powers and spiritual liberations
Clean your body and become a vegetarian
On your way to become a centenarian  

After many years of following and trying

You find out that somebody might have been lying  
For you did not achieve or make any progress
Or found anybody who has finished the process

You still feel in your heart and try to do it alone

You try to find the truth by working on your own
You are afraid to trust anybody les qualified than you
But you cannot find anybody more qualified than you

Jesus and Buddha are not walking this earth anymore

And living examples of illumination are no more
While your heart KNOWS there is a way to liberation
You think it was all just stories or somebody’s imagination

Determined not to give up in your search

You start to use your brain in your research
Now you start to see and understand in the light
That brings the big picture to your sight

Trough service the jigsaw is starting to build itself

Life has never been about illumination for yourself
Your own progress is slow for it must keep pace
With the planet and the rest of the human race

Everything leads to one mental unfoldment after another

And more integration with spirit and the Earth Mother
The world and our evolution as one
Is the only way that it must be done

Real illumination or full contact with spirit or soul
Is still very far off and part of a much later goal
That will not happen in this or the next life
And even that is part of a higher goal for a later life

You might never know

But progressively you shall grow
