Tantra of the One

The spine is the royal road of our dreams, and it encapsulates our life.
The body itself is a mirror of the universe, and is also a universe.
Within its precincts are all time and all space.
All life lives there, up to the Divinity that is the Experiencer,
the Watcher, and the Dreamer.
To this Being, only life is possible,
and there can be no death.
This Being is free by definition,
and can only be free.
It is only our illusion of separateness
that distinguishes us from  the One
Saquu Eka Ehad
that is Sat Cit Ananda,
that is Unity,
that is Self,
the Mover and Enlivener
of these vertebrate bodies,
the only Knower
of all the mysteries.,
who is unspeakable,
yet spoken of
with every breath
of all creatures.
