Beyond the Veil of Illusion

Beyond the Veil of Illusion

A Poem by Neilp
"

Understanding the illusion of the mind

"

Awake, the silent whispers call,
A voice that stirs beneath it all.
The mind's grand palace, vast and bright,
Conjures shadows, masking light.

Its walls are built of fleeting thought,
Each brick a dream, illusion wrought.
It tells of pasts, of futures near,
Yet cloaks the truth that’s ever here.

The stories spin, a ceaseless tide,
A storm where countless selves reside.
Yet still, beneath the roaring stream,
Lies a presence, vast, serene.

Not bound by time, nor name, nor face,
It holds the stars, the void, the space.
It whispers soft: "You are not bound,
Not lost, but here eternity found."

The cage dissolves, the veil falls thin,
Revealing all you’ve been within.
No longer trapped by thought's disguise,
The boundless Self begins to rise.

A sky unclouded, clear and wide,
The mind subsides; no need to hide.
For you are not the stormy sea,
But the stillness vast Infinity.

Another notable Message beautifully delivered! :)
I've often thought so-called Reality and Illusion are interchangeable.
