JOHN MCINTOSH
To you who seek
The Light of Life
It is a fool’s journey …
An endless search
Not found on paths of glory
Or through magic mushrooms of any kind
Not found in sacred practices
Or harsh disciplines
It cannot be found in achievements
Or years of denying this or that
The world is full of possibilities
Lo here, lo there it claims
But offers only phantoms in return for your devotion
The search it self is a trap
It validates your separate self
And places the Light always
Beyond your grasp
But stay a while in Silence
The lonely quiet of Freedom
Which beckons beyond your search
Declaring Freedom Now
There is no searching required
The Light you seek has never left
IT is ‘who’ YOU Really Are
With only one request
Give up this fantasy of a personal identity
Dissolve this false self
In the fire of Stillness
Come Home to YOU
Who has never left IT SELF
