Spirit Chronologies: Ten Thousand Poem Project, Selections 2007

Poets have always known what science has now shown: the way we read, listen to, and interpret words stimulates the brain with the same if not more force than physical experience. As a master Neuro-Linguistic Programmer, kriya yoga meditator, and lifetime poet, I work to create word-organisms which evoke sound and image patterns that activate the brain in unique ways. My goal is to give the reader access to experience that has hitherto been considered only the domain of spiritual practices such as meditation, mantra chanting, or the visual focus on mandalas. Sri Bhavavan of Oneness University in Golden City, India has authorized my poetry as a "deeksha" or divine blessing.
