Mental perceptions (telepaths have it easy)

by Larry Chamberlin   May 23, 2018



Before ideas are formulated into thought
is an intuitive grasp of what has been wrought;
there is a wondrous gestalt whole and yet wordless
relative perception understanding express.
What is perceived mind approximates into word
but lost in translation the clarity is blurred
thus giving mankind the raging fire of the gods
but forcing the flame into little wooden rods,
for a match does not hold a candle to the Truth
and the blaze called language is a swaddling youth.
Always we have failure even within to know
hopeless and yet to live we must give it a go.
When communicating our crystal perception
others may try giving wide open reception
but we speak through darkened curtains the truth beheld
so always our reality must be misspelled.

    One interesting piece here Larry. Haven't heard the word telepathy in a very long time. The kind of communication without any physical interaction. Let the thoughts do their thing. Thank you for sharing and all the best.
