The Vision Within That Keeps Me Going Poem by Margaret Alice

“Lawrence LeShan theorized the power of the
non-conscious is not Freud’s unconscious darkness,
but a super-conscious, far-above normal awareness;

In reflective calm the poet withdraws into himself
to listen to the unconscious; with awareness withdrawn
from sensory perception into the spaceless; timeless

Mystics make the assertion there is a better knowing
than through the senses, in a universe marked by unity;
time is an illusion where evil merely exist in appearance”

What a relief to know it is so – I’m so unhappy in grey
reality with the evidence of the five senses; it is my
karma to dream of the super-sensory realm

While being unable to reach it – but nothing;
no force on earth, can stop me dreaming
about the vision within that keeps me going….


(Colin Wilson “Beyond the Occult” p.36)
