©1989 Ken Clinger watching on the outer edge, we take our stands we’ve got so much to do. we’ve got so much to say passing thru the moments in our day to day our situations are taylor-made channeling thru letting everything have its golden glow channel to you seeing yet a little more there is to know take a little inner when they turn away, they’ve got their own destinations and their very own styles try another method to regain a core there is an endless count of doorways to get thru energy flow, everything moves onward and it stays the same energy glow, each at its own level in its self-made frame looking at a picture from a child’s eye view there is no history nor conception there to get in the way forgetting all the methods they’ve been bringing to you the revelation and the wonders that you now can survey channeling thru letting everything have its golden glow channel to you seeing yet a little more there is to know hearing inner sound, inner flowing thru you knowing inner light, inner ways to you getting over matter as a proof of what’s real we find that solidness has gotten in our way consistence in the repetition doesn’t control it’s just another way of limiting today manifesting what we are it’s in to out while near to far radiating from within we’ve got the way we’ve always been words that give no answer but they point to you there is a message there you’re getting just the same thoughts are contradicting to give alternate view we hold them side by side with others we contain channeling thru letting everything have its golden glow channel to you seeing yet a little more there is to know

©1991 Ken Clinger I wake up at night to a strange light beam. Above my head, it’s the Elephant Queen. She says, “Just call me Josephine, and come with me, on my submarine.” I say, “This must surely be a dream.” She says, “Dreams are more real than you think they seem. You’ve been overdosed by Earth’s regime. Now come with me, on my submarine.” Then, in the air, with a blinding gleam, appears a golden submarine. It seems to be styled on an elephant theme. Just the thing for an elephant queen. The next thing I know, I’m sitting in between Josephine and a cat named Dean. They point my attention to a screen, and there I see the strangest scene. A whale is dancing with a green sardine, while a sea cow sings “Begin The Beguine”, and she adds a line about benzedrine, and its secret use in the Argentine. I turn my eyes to Josephine, who laughs and says, “What you’ve just seen is not unusual, quite routine when you’re riding in my submarine.” I turn my eyes back to the screen: The sea cow is eating a nectarine, while reading from a magazine: the latest news from the Argentine. She says, “It’s really quite obscene, how the benzedrine makes the land cows mean. They talk nonstop, and then they scream about their lack of haute cuisine.” Then the whale and the green sardine, they build a house by a deep ravine, and stock their freezer with ice cream. (They know the sea cow’s just turned sixteen.) Then they come up to the screen, and say, “Come out of your submarine. Its time to break the sea cow’s routine, with her concern for the Argentine. “And be sure to bring your tambourines, You know how they can get so unclean, We have just bought a new machine, that cleanses them so they’re more than clean.” Then the whale and the green sardine, They say, “Oh Sea Cow, leave your magazine, come visit us by the deep ravine, we’ve got guests from the submarine.” “You can sing ‘Begin the Beguine’ while we dance around with our tambourines. You know that they’ll be more than clean, after they’ve been in our new machine.” So we went to the house by the deep ravine. The whale went to the freezer and brought out the ice cream. We sang to the sea cow, “Happy Sixteen!”. Then we had our bowls of ice cream. And I danced with Josephine. The very first time I danced with an elephant queen. She made me sigh, she was so serene, the way she played her tambourine. The whale, he danced with the cat named Dean, while Sea Cow sang “Begin the Beguine”. We ignored the lines about benzedrine, and its secret use in the Argentine. After awhile, the elephant queen, she says, “I hope you don’t think I’m mean, but we have to leave in my submarine, before the daylight intervenes.” So we thanked the whale and the green sardine, as the sea cow sings “Begin the Beguine” one last time, as we leave the scene and take off in the submarine. The next thing I know, the alarm clock rings, and the sun is sending out its beams. Then I hear a voice, and it’s Josephine’s. She says, “I’ll come back tonight with my submarine.” So now I’ll watch for that strange light beam, and another trip with the Elephant Queen, and once again see the cat named Dean, as we ride off in the submarine.

©2012 Ken Clinger the point is in the circle and the circle in the sphere while the sphere traverses time increasing of dimensions in the music that we hear while the end of the beginning leaves its traces of the night in daytime colors change their frequencies reflecting in the eye while the vision changes meaning the circle spins its radius horizon to the sky while a rainbow softly gleams all along we think we’re safely dreaming the sphere increases density collapsing on itself while the gravity collapses time increasing of dimensions a new level of perception the beginning and the ending have no way to contradict in dreamtime colors heard as harmony reflected in the sky while the song it changes meaning chords invert their resonance the low is in the high with the rainbow in between all along the key was in our dreaming

from the Tao Te Ching translated by Jim Clatfelter adapted by Ken Clinger ©2011 Jim Clatfelter & Ken Clinger flowing thru existence then returning to the source ever at the center spreading out to distance shores here begins the universe the earth and humankind everything is as it is, it cannot be defined sound within the silence light within the darkness strength within the weakness abundance in the starkness eternally unchanging actively at rest unlimited potential, infinity expressed when you look, it isn’t there listen and you cannot hear it seems to be beyond your reach because you are so near this single source of everything beyond the conscious mind existing beyond emptiness both simple and refined follow it thru nothingness approach it where you have no face from nowhere to infinity this vacant image has no trace from never to eternity an emptiness from near to far that’s fuller than the physical this naked wholeness that you are starlight, glowing, beauty, knowing balance, listen, inward, glisten silence, growing, essence, flowing breathing, splendor, welcome, tender blessing, center, open, enter shifting the attention to origin and source within you find the place where wholeness and infinity begin enter into emptiness always quiet and at peace you’re in the place where all begins the space where all things cease all things arise and have their day and then go back to single source returning to serenity with no regret and no remorse when you see the source within you gladly give assent you see you’re everlasting eternally omniscient
