At the recent December 2017 retreat, Almine shared how beyond the reality of the known, the unknown, and the unknowable, lies the unfathomable–the state of mastery that takes us into being the living paradox. In order to accustom to this state and become masters of the unfathomable, she has suggested that we start a daily practice of writing Unfathomable Poetry, which takes us to where the mind cannot follow.
There have many forms of poetry suggested as we evolved through the stages of godhood and resurrection. Almine gave us examples of each of the various forms of poetry, from general, magical, alchemical to unfathomable poetry:
‘Ordinary’ poetry…
A bright red balloon
A little girl walking along
A happy surprise against a pale blue sky
Magical poetry takes the large and puts it into the small (macro into microcosm)…
A little girl skipping happily down the road
Holding the cosmos in a bright red balloon
Alchemical poetry takes the small and recognizes its impact on the large (as below, so also above)…
A grey whale turns over in the ocean
Turning day into the night
Unfathomable poetry defies the mind…
A little girl skipping happily down the road
Holding the cosmos in a bright red balloon that never existed
“In the lines between the known and the unknown lies the unfathomable.” Almine

As Masters of the Unfathomable we enter into the Incorruptible White Light, where no movement nor time nor space exist. This reality is not comprehensible to the mind–only to the Essential Mind that is decentralized and operates from whole-senses, whole-body ‘awaring‘. In developing Essential Mind, Almine guided us in connecting, essence to essence, with all life. When we reach to depth, in all things we will find the Self, as there is only the One Life. In our slice of Infinite Existence, we find the One Life as the Self, in the ‘essential plane’. At this place of self-essence, we are self-sustained, and through deepening presence we bring online the larger body of the Self, which is All That Is.
Almine suggested we begin a daily practice of writing unfathomable poetry, to allow our perspective to embrace being the living paradox that cannot be comprehended.
Below are what some participants produced at the retreat and willingly share with you…
We invite everyone to explore this form of poetry, and to submit your verses to us and we will add it to the page. To submit something, send it to anita.lucia.briggs@gmail.com, with the title: Unfathomable Poetry Submission. I will normally post it the same day.
Poem
Daisies hold hands
A Halo above the Inner Babe
Joy spills from their laughter
Eternal wonderment celebrates
It’s own birth

A Chant
Do feathers fly the bird?
Do the waves still the ocean?
Am I the one I’ve loved all along?
That I am…the one I’ve loved all along…

You
and you, and you, and you

Soft and Sweet
Awash in a sea of rubies
A lonely diamond speaks of existentialism to a black hole
Nothing exists
Not even a whisper of a song you thought you knew
S.P.C Euler

Beauty’s pillow
Essence Divine
Beyond all whispers
Flourishing finds
Floating recognition, its hold, undone
White whispers, it whispers, no words levity finds
Fleeting eternity, thus its scriptures undefined
Heavier and lighter, flights hope holds no plight
Yet ne’er a word was uttered
For none existed
All out of sight
Essential Director’s Cut
Type written words and characters sought
from a line, a squiggle, a curl, and a dot
Brought to page by language not silent,
but unhearable
Appear words unseen,
but not invisible:
Inestimable Presence
Unedited and Unwritable Terrain
Ungatherable Strength and Power
The Unfathomable Essential Current or,
The Cosmic Directors’ Cut,
of the line, the squiggle, the curl, and the dot

An ancient voice I hear, me whispering
Eons of timelessness
On the cutting edge of now
