Automatic Writing: Poetry from Spirit

spirit writing

Automatic writing, a fascinating and uplifting practice, involves allowing one’s hand to move freely across the paper, guided by an unseen spiritual or subconscious force. This technique, often used for creative inspiration or spiritual communication, can lead to profound insights and personal revelations. Embracing automatic writing can be a deeply enriching experience, opening channels to one’s inner wisdom and the collective consciousness. It fosters a sense of connection and peace, providing clarity and guidance in a world often filled with noise and distraction. By trusting the process, individuals can tap into a wellspring of creativity and spiritual growth, transforming their understanding and enhancing their journey through life.

There are many famous examples over the years of writings inspired by spirit. These are two examples from Peter Mitchell.

ORIGINAL FACES

 My ‘Original Face’ has been revealed to me.
I ‘know’ the ‘I’ that came before the ‘Me’.
My little life continues to unfold,
pulled this way and that by momentums:
momentums that are starting to lose impulse under
the watchful gaze of my Original Face.
 

And then I get to hang out with others
who also know their Original Face.
And together we cast off our masks,
and bask in the glory that is revealed
when our Original Faces look into each other’s eyes,
and see the Vast Universe reflected back at us.

THE RICHLY EMBROIDERED TAPESTRY OF EMPTINESS

From the perspective of Infinity,
Embodiment is the taste of Limitation.
It is the interplay of Energy, free at source,
moulding the restrictions of Form
into shapes of fleeting beauty.

The sweetness of a juicy fruit is a Limitation
that points beyond the moment of experience
to the well of Joy hidden behind all appearances,
the bliss of existence with all its highs and lows.

Emptiness is none other than the exuberance of Being:
an ever-changing pattern that is always complete.
Nothing missing.

Fully savour each passing moment.
Enjoy the cocktail of flavours in a glass of red wine
that has been cask-matured for years.
Do not rush into the next moment
and miss the fullness of this one.

For there is no next moment.
Only This. Only Now.
The glorious unfolding
of the Richly Embroidered Tapestry of Emptiness.

Of course there are more famous such as the words given by Silver Birch and written down by Maurice Barbanell, but many take inspiration from many other sources.
