THE MYSTERY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Perhaps consciousness is a kind of shared template

upon which all souls are dependent;

It is where the psyche is staged.

It is a formula of self,

a cosmic consciousness or a knit of identity.

Perhaps the key to the mystery

is not that we are self-conscious,

but that we are God-conscious:

Consciousness being the forum for prayer.


I say this because the creative imagination

is the one place where we can find a model of omnipotence,

or an imperfect counterfeit illimitable creative potential.



The idea of unlimited representation exists in nature, in our minds,


where we can imagine a world

that can only be imagined.
