LEARNING HOW TO SWIM IN THE OCEAN OF ONENESS by Bristena Georgiana Mantu

This poem was written in June 2015 after my encounter with one of my twin flames...

To those unfamiliar with this concept, a twin flame connection suggests an astrological polar opposite connection with someone whose soul frequency and life purpose matches yours and who evinces astoundingly similar and complementary character traits. A twin flame dynamic involves mirroring each other and in this process painful unconscious aspects of our psyche come to the surface to be healed and reintegrated. This connection also catalyses a profound spiritual awakening to the non-dualistic nature of reality. Oneness is a concept evocative of the interconnected web of intelligent and creative energy which permeates everything in existence – otherwise known as God, Source, Great Spirit etc.

The poem "Learning How to Swim in the Ocean of Oneness" announces my struggles and challenges, breakthroughs and revelations and my expansion of consciousness experienced as a result of the twin flame reunion. It was a time of profound inner shifts. Limiting ego-constructs of self entered the process of decomposition and an internal alchemy started taking place. From selfishness to service, from ignorance to knowledge, from addictive compulsive behaviors to the cultivation of self-love, from victim consciousness to self-empowerment and responsibility, from left-brain rational authoritarian control to a more fluid, organic, expansive and heart-centred view over self and reality.  

Since the writing of this poem, I have stepped more fully into my life purpose: that of aligning myself with my heart's truth, and universal truths, and helping others on  similar journeys. I accomplish my mission with the aid of my energy therapies, teachings and writings.

Learning How to Swim in the Ocean of Oneness

by Bristena Georgiana Mantu

One day I found myself

On the verge of an idea

I was toying with tentatively

For what seems now like eternity

Or a fleeting second? Ah, the paradox of time.

It was a big idea, all-encompassing

Infinite in its finitude, finite in its infinity…

Its seed planted in the fertile soil of my soul

Consciously not so long ago,

Unconsciously since the dawn of ages…

It was the idea of Oneness.

Another day the seed cracked wide open

As its life spark birthed itself into manifestation.

 

So on the verge of this idea

the universe gave me a little push

to take the deep plunge within…

The universe commanded: here you go

learn how to swim in the infinite

oneness waters of cosmic intelligence,

there’s no way back now –

Learn how to swim or die trying.

Take the leap of faith

it’s what you’ve always wanted

and more than you’ve ever dared to hope

Because the magnitude of infinity cannot be comprehended

By the narcissistic constraints of the mind.

And then the idea manifested into action

At first all doubts, fears and terror rose up

To the surface in order to be healed.

Isn’t the surface of the water

Yet another illusion of separation?

It’s right to say then that it’s only the fear

That causes the separation from the One.

I started gasping for the air of previous comfort

Clinging to pre-established notions of security

As that was all I knew before: the prison of the mind.

The deep waters were so dangerous to my little ego

Desperately wishing for the illusory pillar of control

Which during any storm could be easily destroyed.

So I let go. I released attachment to the fictitious control

Still panting, still catching my breath,

I surrendered to the sweet waters

of the ocean of Unity Consciousness.

I allowed myself to be carried away

By the caring embrace of the ocean

I released my anxiety, my past hurts

And as I’m floating and merging with the waters

All scars are licked by the healing tongue

Of ancient infinite wisdom, in blissful revelation of the One.

What is trust? It is the safest vehicle in which

I transport myself through the infinite waters

Of the divine Mind,

In sacred vow on the Altar of the Eternal Now.

Dive deep…and you’ll see

All the fears dissolve, all doubts disappear

Faith is now my guiding star

Surrender is my sweetest pleasure

Expansion is my driving force.

It’s time to grow now, sweet child of mine

Whispered the Infinite Consciousness

Learn to ride the waves of life

It’s only when you fully surrender

That you will experience the One and All.

From idea into action -

Learning how to swim in the
Infinite waters of the Ocean of Oneness.

Bristena Georgiana Mantu has had a deep calling for philosophical thought and writing since early childhood. Born in Romania 21 years ago, she  moved to London in 2013 and since then she has been on a fascinating journey of spiritual exploration, personal growth and transformation. What brought her to the U.K. was the ambition of pursuing a law career, but after her spiritual awakening she drastically changed her career path and started building her practice as a transformational therapist. In the meantime she rediscovered her passion for poetry and uses this venue of expression as a healing method whenever she finds herself in turbulent emotional states, deep reflections, heightened states of awareness or spiritual breakthroughs. At the moment, Bristena is looking to expand her conscious healing business into the entire virtual world. In her practice as a transformational therapist she uses powerful energy psychology techniques – Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting which combine ancient Eastern wisdom and modern psychology for the purpose of emotional relief, mental clarity and deep healing of childhood wounds. Bristena strongly believes in personal transformation as a tool for world transformation – the more we go within to find our true source of love and divine power, the more we can assist the planetary evolution during these times of awakening. You can connect with her via her website here or by joining her Facebook group – Transformational Journey Towards Bliss where she will be happy to support you on your own transformational process from low-vibrational dysfunctional beliefs and behavior patterns into a meaningful and heart-centred existence.
