Transcendental poetry originates in the heart of the seer-poet and awakens in the heart of the reader. Therefore, transcendental poetry is not for thinkers. It attempts to silence the thinker so the heart’s yearning, the heart’s call, can be heard and felt at the same time.

The seer-poet communicates the past, the present and the future simultaneously. Each word penned to paper is a living entity, an expression of freshly released energy, a bolt of enlightening life-force if you wish, linking the Divine, the seer-poet, his words, and the reader together in a light-stringed web of understanding, passion and love.

The seer-poet knows he cannot beat his own heart, so he relays Divine Shakti (Force or Light) using verse, describing every event and circumstance that make up his humble existence, as an expression of love and gratitude to the Light that lives him. In turn, each vowel and consonant becomes a bolt of Light Supreme that draws the reader to the word. That is the nature of the Light-Giving Cycle. It’s like using a lit candle to light another one, and so on, and so forth.

To the seer-poet then, his work is neither epic, tragic, or comedic, it’s simply ecstatic! Although his poems do imitate life, they also imitate the Divine, Da (the Giver). How can the reader be captivated by mere words, void of Life Supreme, no matter how cleverly they rhyme, are metered, or are in tune with the flute of the shadow goddess. If the heart is not touched, the reader may as well cast a blind eye to the page.

Transcendental poetry attracts those who are vulnerable, those who are suffering a total positive disillusionment with conditional existence. To the seer-poet, his work is not to make the reader feel good, or  bad, it’s intended purely to make him feel without limitation. True Ecstasy transcends limitation, therefore transcendental poetry transcends mere words.
