Christos is Cosmos, a Poem for Meditation

Christos is the Greek word for Christ.  The word means the anointed, from the Hebrew word Messiah.  To anoint someone or something is to have something “smeared on” or “rubbed into”, and note merely drizzled upon.  Think a thick suntan lotion.  You don’t want intermittent coverage, you want every exposed part covered with the protective screen.  Christos may refer to those spiritual individuals so completely “smeared into Spirit” that they are “fully covered” in Spirit.

Cosmos is the Latin form of a Greek word Kosmos meaning order, good order, orderly arrangement a word rooted in kosmein meaning to order and arrange, to set in array; to establish; to adorn, equip, dress.  Pythagoras is said to have been the first to apply this word to the universe the whole of the physical world.  It has come to mean the universe as an embodiment of order and harmony.

With this in mind I share this poem for your meditation.  I recently came across it in a magazine.  It is a poem by Ben Williams.  If you meditate upon it a number of messages may arise.

Christos is Cosmos

And Cosmos is eternity unveiling

This is the place where the heart is wrought

Hopeless, with passions railing

And the spirit thick with

Shadows countervailing

The appearance of all that really is

You fabricated this.

You made all that you think you see

This image is the wheel of your destiny

Here, now, where teeth gnash amid

All this wailing

Christ comes invisibly

To destroy the iniquity

Of your great illusion

And restore you again

At last, to true dominion

Rise great son of man!

He who blesses it!

Look within these avenues of sin

Here, pray that you see nothing!

Into this void is birthed the greatest secret

The resplendent vision

Which can only be given

To one who already possesses it.
