    About this ebook

    At every stage of human history, there have been a few human beings lucky enough to stumble into the Universal Truth and live itprophets, saints, Zen masters, Sufi masters, and a few of their disciples. They all kept it secret among themselves, for the rest of the people were not yet ready to hear about it.

    Now it seems like there is a much wider spiritual awakening around the world. This is good news. However, this threatens the human ego that needs to keep individual selves separated from each other, from everything else, and from their One Source for its survival. So humanity, under the leadership of the ego, takes a more unconscious posture, evidenced by the rising fear of everything and everybody. Hence the wars, natural and manmade disasters, myriad illnesses and death to fear and protect from. All this generates shared human suffering, which serves as a catalyst to accelerate the awakening.

    The coming of this book is no more than another evidence of the Universal Awakening. Every poem in this book, as well as every conversation point to one thing and one thing only: the ONENESS of everybody and everything, may they already be manifested in the universe or not.

    The Word

    The universe is an expanding ball,

    An infinite sphere, they say.

    Cant tell where the center is, though,

    Or it expands where.

    If this ball is infinite,

    Does it make sense, then, to say

    That the center is right here

    And the ball expands nowhere?

    The uni-verse means the one-word,

    Says the man himself.

    Could it be, then, that the One Center

    Is expressing itself?

    Author

    Ozay Oktay

    Ozay was born in Turkey, where he lived until his graduation with a BS degree in electrical engineering. He then moved to the United States to study for a masters degree in 1980. He has been living and working in Southern California since. In his early twenties, Ozay met a true spiritual teacher, who introduced him to the Universal Truth of Oneness. As a manifestation of his intense spiritual deepening, a stream of about fifty poems emerged through him during the last two years. This presented an opportunity to reach out to as many people as possible. Ozay is not aligned with any religion, nor does he adhere to any doctrine or dogma.

      About the Author

      Dear Reader,

      In this universe, all seems to be random, but nothing really is. The fact that you are now reading this book is no coincidence but an indication that you are ready for the message enclosed.

      The purpose here is to help you realize that there is another aspect of you hidden behind the clouds of your mind. It is the real you—a limitless, changeless, nameless, formless, deathless, and complete you that nobody can describe or understand. An eternal you that pervades everybody and everything, allowing them to exist.

      The purpose of this book is, while you are reading it, to scatter the clouds so that you can shine through and be yourself. So that you remember your true identity. So that you can flow through and your Oneness can be witnessed.

      Although grammatically incorrect, capitalized words throughout the book are used when referring to you: The Divine Oneness that you are. Language falls way too short when it comes to describing what that is.

      The book has no chapters, no beginning and no end. One can start reading from any page. It can be helpful for readers to observe a period of mental silence after reading each poem. The awakening to the Universal Truth can only happen in that silence.

      Love . . .

      Awakening

      The cocoon is the silkworm’s world—

      A world in which to die,

      Unless one day, it gives it up

      And just breaks out to fly.

      The human is in the same boat.

      He too is cocooned—

      Woven by his little mind

      That puts him out of tune.

      Need to be in tune with Oneness

      So freedom can take hold.

      Need to let the Love to flow

      In order to break the mold.

      About Awakening

      Sleepwalking bodies live in a world of dreams made up by their own minds. In that world, there is birth, there is time, and there is death. It is a world of suffering, no matter how enticing the dream seems to be. The only way out is to wake up.

      Gently walk through the suffering as if walking through a garden of roses. Ignore the thorn-pricks and use them to keep yourself sober. Freedom and joy are at the other end of this garden.

      Life on Earth

      Once I was a little baby.

      I was here as whole.

      Then I became a mature man

      And lost track of it all.

      My mother first breastfed me,

      Then gave me a fine name.

      That made me go deep in sleep,

      But my dream was insane.

      Was it a dream or a
