SPIRITUALLY PENETRATING POETRY

THE HEART SPEAKS is a mirror to the spirit...not an end in itself, and therefore is 
 not to be taken literally--but spiritually discerned and symbolically interpreted. I 
 endeavor to offer nonliteral, intuspacial meanings, as Truth, Intubeing no object
 (Nonthing), Is Living Knowledge, not information--and cannot be grasped with the
 intellect alone. Thus in speaking by analogy, all the poems reflect a living 
 meditation or religion (faith): an unbroken psychological process or pattern of
 sublimation and transmutation (the Way of the cross) which opens up and
 releases the individual mind or divided ego (complexity) to journey into and through
 itself, that the reader may, in a selfless mode or intustate of nonattachment and
 holy indifference, transcend the human material but lesser dimension of mind, and
 spiritualize as living light!
 
263 pages, consisting of 175 poems long and short (two volumes), an introduction
and afterthought, plus A Letter To Those Who Are Listening. (579 kb)

 
 
DREAMS AND VISIONS OF CHRIST LEAD MAN TO WRITE A BOOK OF POETRY
Poet Bases New Book On Sublimative Experiences
 
In 1972 Larry Gordon Thomsen experienced a series of psychic occurrences: dreams, visions, voices, spiritual insights and raptures. In one of the dreams he was being wedded to the Spirit of Christ, and as a wedding gift, received from Jesus a sacred book.
 
When the man awoke the next morning, he was immediately aware of the Presence of God being with him (located in the forehead between the eyes), and was struck with an overwhelming urge to write. For the next 33 years, amidst the activities of day to day living on this planet, Thomsen devoted himself to periods of solitude and living meditation, while fashioning the material together into two volumes of spiritually penetrating poetry entitled THE HEART SPEAKS.
 
From dream and vision into written form, a book of poetry now published through the online marketplace Lulu.com reveals these sublimative experiences, and More, that have inspired Thomsen, while absorbed in the Presence of God (our innermost Being). However, he makes no rash claims, asking only that the reader "take from this book what you can if it aids you in your spiritual growth--and if it does not, then put the book down and go on to something which will".
 
Thomsen, a retired hotel manager, has become conscious over the years that he is living an interior Vision (Nonliteral Perspective), and in relation to the human material condition, Such becomes the "Way of the cross" (which is referred to in his writing as "Living Jesus"), and wants those who read his book to "know that in writing these poems his heart experiences the pure Joy that comes with Loving God, and prays others will too in reading them."
 
Though he had no idea in the beginning of becoming a poet and author, the Inspiration behind the material just poured out of him, and he couldn't stop writing...nor fail, even after so many years of contemplation, to complete this psychologically penetrating task in book form so as to offer to others what he believes is a Witness to the Spirit of Christ, and a living prophesy.

RIDING THE DRAGON, LIVING THE VISION refers to the Nonliteral Perspective, and Intubeing the
 Totality of Perception (Nonsensory), Is Within us and Is Us, potentially. Such is not anything
 supernatural (superstition), but That which Is Most Natural and Spiritual, often referred to as God,
 and in this book, Ourself as a Whole. However, not until we understand the full relationship
 between the Nonliteral and the literal perspectives, mentally discriminating between Being and
 thinking, the Real and the unreal (though actual), the Totality (Nonego) and the partiality (ego), will
 we wed and resolve the contraries of our human nature, transcending both as conceptualization.
 For in living Truth we are not just thinking Truth, projecting an it or conceptualization: Here and
 Now is not outside of us--but the Nonthing-Event (Intuprocess) that Is Within us and Is Us--the 
 pure Intelligence (Spirit) who, in giving rise to the conceptualization, always Sees (Lives) 
 through it, returning, so to speak, Into Self, Intubeing the Nonessentiality that Is!
 
86 pages, consisting of an introduction, 4 chapters, 3 poems and 12 articles on living faith. (239 kb)  

 
 
WE WILL MEET OUR LORD: STAND FACE TO FACE WITH OUR INNERMOST BEING
Poet/Author Bases New Book On Revealed Prophesy
 
As a follow-up to his first book THE HEART SPEAKS, Larry Gordon Thomsen, again through the online marketplace Lulu.com., now offers in another context (prose) the Nonliteral Perspective or interior Vision that has been revealed to him, during nearly 40 years of living religion/meditation/faith/life/God, by our innermost Being.
 
Thomsen, being conscious of the Presence of God dwelling in his soul, writes (suggests) in spirit "that mankind is turning in on himself: on his own soul, in his own mind going into self (spirit) or into hell (egoism/matter). In either case, man will meet his Lord...and will not escape himself! For we, as the indwelling spirit (light-conscious energy) of man, are a holy fire, even Now the flaming Core of Life Ourself (God)!"
 
The interpretation given to him in a vision by the Spirit of Christ, that the name Christ Jesus means God in man, refers not to a particular person in the past to the "Living Principal and Potential" that may be realized in each of us, even Now! The Way of the cross, then, is a Way of living Life (Jesus) through every thing-event of the day, wedding and resolving the contraries of our human nature--and thus transcending both as conceptualization. For only by fulfilling the Principal (Word) of Life through our own existence on this planet can we find true salvation in a world of duality/sensory perception/ego, that is, in the literal perspective.
 
Though he writes what he lives (knows), Thomsen also realizes that it will be difficult for some, maybe even most, to accept the basic thrust of his words, or the Principal behind them, but hopes that the words will at least stimulate thought on the subject of spirituality. His is not a "how-to" or "tell others how to live" kind of book. He offers the Teaching (the Way of the cross) to the reader in the spirit in which he has received it from Within. Individual decisions will be made as to the veracity and urgency of his revelations.

What is really going on with mankind? O course, it is what has always been going on--the literal perspective. Where do you think all the guilt comes from? In the Bible it is referred to as the knowledge of good and evil. But what that means in actual terms (events) is duality, sensory perception and personality: in short, we as materialism, egoism. Spiritually speaking, this is our "childhood". And considering all the foolishness, not to mention, cruelty, that has been going on with us since the beginning of the human race, now it is time for mankind to grow up--to spiritually mature and selflessly Realize our "Adulthood"--our Lord and Totality of Being. Such is the primary goal, actually the only goal, of life on earth: to know thyself...to just Be Ourself...to first See the Kingdom (Ground) of God (Intubeing) on earth as it is in Heaven. In this book Such is referred to as the Nonliteral Perspective.
