Beyond Time


Original DDE™ surreal art: “Timeless Journey” by: rob kistner © 10/16/23

 

Farewell my friend
your physical journey
on the elemental wheel
is now complete

the quiet earth enfolds your form
your spirit’s freed to travel
adjoining with the infinite universe

may your precious life energy
burst into beautiful eternal light
dazzling beyond time and space

    1. Thank you Ron. We are all headed to that final burst of energy. It is the only thing, my friend, that fits logically in my little pea brain. When this mortal husk runs down that stuff that is not husk moves on. Even if the damn husk runs down slowly and faulty — there inevitably comes that final burst.

    1. No, I do not Lisa, but it won’t matter. We will have evolved to such an elevated composition and integration of energy, that what this life is, will be of no relevance or interest. I believe as humans, we have arrived at the highest level of personal, “temporal” awareness — and it is flawed and incomplete. Beyond here I believe we enter an essence of infinite being, which is so totally different from our current finite being, that we can’t, in this moment, begin to comprehend how limiting and unnecessary the concept of “personal” awareness truly is. It is only our current limited ability to grok true “is”—ness that causes us to think we may miss our current narrow awareness of “self”. The “self” is our current dead-end limitation and isolation. Beyond here we burst into a perfect light. Of course — just my opinion my friend. However, this concept I embrace has evolved and solidified consistently over my years, in my ongoing thinking, meditating, writing, and in recent years, lucid waking dreams — and anchored by my near-death experience that resulted in my pacemaker. I don’t generally talk openly about this path of my thought, for fear I will freak others out, or be considered mad. It is only in recent years that I have been able to tie together my random lose threads of thought on this matter, into forming a strand of conceptual continuum. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed — only changed to a different form.

  1. This is an amazing poem and artworks – especially the top art.

    I’m intrigued to read your personal philosophy in a comment above. Did you also walk towards a great light in your near death experience Rob?

    1. Thank you Kim… 🙂 It wasn’t so much that I was walking towards a great light. My heart stopped while I was sleeping, absent any awareness. I semi-awoke out of pure incoherent darkness. I have a vivid memory of an intense light shining on me. I believe it was probably the bright lights in the operating theater, where they were inserting my pacemaker — but I’ll never know for certain, because I didn’t regain useful awareness until I was in thr recovery room. It certainly left an incredibly intense, and strikingly memorable impact on my psyche.
