to have about oneself.

Cathy:
I realize that desire in the dialectic world always "inherently
suggests lack" and that wanting can only lead to more wanting. In
speaking of the Gnosis, I do realize the Gnosis already is (has
always been and ever will be); but to experience the Gnosis as a
transforming power in our lives seems to be something the "spirit-
spark atom" when awakened begins to desire above all other dialectic
desires and apart from them.


Your poem is beautiful and gives a picture of your spiritual journey.
The parts about "floating" reminded me of "non-doing" as JVR so
beautifuly writes about it in "The Chinese Gnosis."
