The Rainbow Earth: Expanding Consciousness and Perception
()
About this ebook
We see only a fraction of what is around us. Preoccupied with our internal conversation and with our problems and crises, we do not see most of Reality. Our perceptions are atrophied. At moments the veils can lift, and we can see directly, without concepts or conditioning. In those moments, the world becomes magical, stunningly beautiful and infinitely mysterious. While in this state, the simplest things can move us to strong emotion and wonder. The 77 poems in this little book are all about the struggle to develop and reclaim this awareness of the Miraculous. The living Cosmos is presenting Itself to us every moment. We must wake up and learn to see.

The Rainbow Earth - Don Nix J.D. Ph.D.
Dedication
To my grandmother, Georgia Rice, now long vanished, who took a moment to tenderly touch my hair and face and look searchingly into my eyes to see who was there. I still remember this moment 65 years later.

Dedication
Introduction
1 Rainbows all around us
2 The Garden is within us
3 The world is always fresh
4 We stand on the shores of Immensity
5 Have you ever cut your finger
6 I’m spinning on the earth
7 Life has its highs and lows
8 Something fills my heart with joy
9 Feel the potential in the air
10 There are dark spots in my soul

12 Our general arc is upward
13 Raise your head and celebrate
14 I take the bow of my mind
15 How can I draw myself
16 Sophistication is the enemy
17 The Cosmos is dancing
18 I’m looking for the metaphor
19 Moment by moment
20 The well is deep
21 Loveliness is all around us
22 We’re moving toward the Formless Realm
23 Open your eyes to wonder
24 I am patiently waiting
25 Give me a moment of Your time
26 I cannot see why I’m here
27 This is the first moment
28 A titan of industry
29 I am a confluence of forces
30 Have I been all that I could be
31 The world is arising
32 Something is holding the world together
33 I know that I’m a primate
34 I’m surrounded by chimera
35 The Buddhists call it mindfulness
36 This is the feeling
37 You cannot die into emptiness
38 We are living in a rainbow world
39 Something moves me through my day
40 I want to dig deeper into myself
41 If I was the only person on Earth
42 I want to put
