Hypnotically

Hypnotically

A Poem by Mike Defreitas

This thing,
Can't explain what,
but it's there. 
I sense its presence

It's there! 
I can't describe it
But it brings me alive

A subtle knowing. Of What? 
A mystery of awareness

Hypnotically, we touch it.
Its presence so deep, we don't see it
Lost, only then can it be seen
And when you sense it
You know it

Hypnotically entrained
Hypnotically attuned
This interpenetration 
Between consciousness and Self
Can hardly be seen. 

But its there, and what is it? 
A core, some inner knowing
Some base of truth, of vitality
Hidden and mysterious
It's power wondrous
It's essence brilliant

It's real. Its place is real. Its presence is real
It's absence spells pain
Confusion, Anxiety, Fear, and shame.

Hypnotically. We are minds hypnotically entrained. 

Yet a mystery subsides so deep, 
Inside the fabric of our brains.
Yet here we are choosing
How we want to be entrained.
On what shall we rest our thought? 
In what shall we live?

Author's Note

Mike Defreitas
Basically how I understand how the 'observing ego' experiences it's experience of self and how essentially this connection is of hypnotic entrainment, a sort of 'resonance' of the conscious mind with it's deepest core of awareness: the self.
