Philosophy Poems
The “blows” of predators
by Michael Rufman
The world process can be considered as the sequential entry of consciousness into existence, their integration and the creation of actual self-aware completeness - the pleroma, which means this process is aimed at transforming absolute potentiality into absolute actuality, at the “spiritualization” of matter and the “purification” of the body, and it is for this purpose that each individual incarnation strives for the maximum number of interactions of consciousness with the energies of being, the result of which contributes to the overall “spiritualization” in the form of souls that perform two functions: with one on the one hand, they store the “experience” of the mutual reflection of existence and consciousness, spirit and matter, and on the other hand, they are an “instrument of unity”, since it is the soul that is capable of manifesting love - the force that creates and maintains the pleroma
In fact, the task of each relative being can be considered precisely the creation of a soul of maximum “size” and minimum “weight”, and the more efficiently this process occurs, the deeper and wider consciousness penetrates into existence, the less amount of free energy the creature generates, the more it integrated into the general flow and the more harmonious its existence is, and the “growth” of the soul, the accumulation of experience, the expansion of awareness occurs exponentially - the larger and lighter the “soul”, the more stable and steady its development becomes, on the one hand, and on the other hand - the more energy can be extracted when it “falls”
Moreover, the “blows” of predators, following one after another, steadily, tirelessly, pose a constant threat to experienced travelers, since in this struggle there is always a danger of “burning” one part of one’s soul after another, and, despite the high efficiency of awareness, to have an adequate vessel for this experience, and therefore not to have sufficient energy for a breakthrough to freedom. In fact, this danger is often underestimated, especially when battles become “familiar” and scars are no longer surprising. “Cold” travelers may be attractive in some aesthetic sense, but in reality they are ineffective in achieving the maximum goals of their existence
It is very important for a magician to try with all his might to keep his soul alive, to keep a warm heart, not to become coarse, not to become stale, because the life of the soul is not just an indicator of the intensity of the current existence, it is also the most important condition for success, that “springboard”, without whose “leap” into the pleroma, if possible, is much less feasible, after all, it is love as a form of mutual reflection, the interconnection of individuals, that is the integrating force that supports the fullness of the pleroma, which means not to lose the opportunity of love, to preserve your soul - not only as a repository of experience, but also as a bearer of unity. All predators and parasites, all demons always resist love, since love always means the death of egoism, the end of fragmentation and the beginning of the pleroma
The fear of death
by Michael Rufman
No matter how much we talk about the inevitability of death, about its final reality, the overwhelming majority of people are confident that “everyone will die” - except them, an example of this is games with death, extreme sports, the inner feeling that “there is still time” for You can achieve any achievements and start acting “tomorrow”
Anyone who does not clearly understand with his whole being that there is no force in the world that could guarantee that his life will last longer than the current moment will never go beyond the limited existence of the victim and all recognition of the inevitability of death out loud is also intended to drown out the inner pronouncing terrible words: “I will inevitably die”
Only then will an understanding of dying as a transition and the study of the process of disembodiment arise, terrifying details and prospects of the post-mortem state of consciousness and the dangers of its clinging to the real world will be revealed, but still the first and decisive step will remain the awareness of one’s own mortality
The fear of death does not leave a person, but this fear loses its power over him, because death is absolutely inevitable, therefore we can consider that it is a fait accompli, which means that there is an opportunity to do other things, which in its face acquire a special taste and meaning
Shaping an adult
by Azaad M
If I could make my own adults,
I’d shape them gently—
after the foggy warmth of grandmothers' laps
and the way a mother tucks in the corners of a blanket like a promise.
I’d build them with leftover laughter from childhood
pressed into the hollows of their cheeks,
the kind that resurfaces when they laugh with their eyes closed.
I’d stir in a spoonful of Camus—
so they'd look at the sky and feel both lost and held.

Dark Horse
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Dark horse whines silently and alone
When the festered face of the moon
Leers at bulbous trees under.
Darkness comes forth with tholes he
Lives with, as festal drumming yonder
Celebrates the fickleness of weak champions.
Even trollops reign in circuses of wide-coloured
Buntings for drunken celebrations only.
Dark horse rests on a settle, descrying the
Weakness of every culture from the stems of

Life's Reality Quote
by Joseph Ogbonna
Poverty may not necessarily
laziness connote,
and riches may not
necessarily hard work
indicate.
The hand of providence
does its major role play,
as successes and failures
to each man is assigned.
Work resiliently before

Empty
by Richard Randolph
I think that I think.
Therefore, I think that I am.
If I didn’t think, I wouldn't be.
I’d be like a hive without a bee.
Empty.
Magical activity is not an entourage
by Michael Rufman
The magician lives not in the usual flabby and rarefied state, suitable only for the endless and dull repetition of the same lessons, which is “ordinary” life, but in an intense “training center”, where every action is called upon to “squeeze” the maximum out of consciousness. what it is capable of, to realize its aspirations and aspirations as effectively as possible
"Magical activity", rituals, spells are not just an entourage, games designed to make life "more interesting", they are ways to increase the intensity of awareness, to take it beyond the limitations imposed by upbringing and the forces behind it – Archons, predators, parasites
The key rule of Magic is: "you only need to do what you can't help doing," and all the training is needed only to find these "anchor points of consciousness," those actions that are overdue and can trigger an avalanche-like reaction of Enlightenment
By coming face to face with the players hidden behind the screen of the mundane, the magician can no longer pretend that "everything is fine" or that "everything is still ahead." The reality he is facing is so merciless and terrifying that it is impossible to simply ignore it, and then there is a state in which the magician "cannot but be a magician"

The Road I Frequent
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
If you have seen it or traipsed on it,
You would have long since observed
That it's not paved with slabs of deception;
It’s a simple, lean road, fleshed and naked
It blends well with culture and the harmony
Of peace, curved effortlessly on its western incline.
It clutches at its vegetation when storms pervade
The earth

end’s beginning
by Rikske Kessner
end’s beginning . . . .
. . . . a seed that falls
strikes the ground and ends…
the goodness of its covering
fleshy fruit but an aftertaste…
then germinates and sprouts,
with daily nurturing sunlight
to spawn the next generation
