Autistic Mystics

Autistic Mystics

The Autistic spectrum, what is it,

and who does it really affect?

What are its strengths & its limits,

is it something that we need to correct?

*

What are the true causation's,

& can it be somehow prevented?

I present to you a different take on it,

from an autistic perspective.

*

Let us first lay out the symptoms,

the stereotypical set of traits,

then consider who are the true victims,

Everything must open to debate:
*

A classic sign of autism,

or so the text books say,

when engaging with a person,

instead of look, they turn away.

*

A sense of disconnection,

to the world, and towards others,

a tendency to reflect,

their inner world in full-blown colour.

*

Subjects of obsessive interest,

may be pursued like they're all the rage,

whilst subjects of non interest,

will be avoided like the plague.
 *

They may have special qualities,

in one or more specific fields,

or born a child prodigy,

perhaps with little success or yield.

*

Detailed fine tuned intricacy,

may be expressed in specialist topics,

yet talking may present as a difficulty,

their words may be mute or robotic.

*

Problems may occur in relationships,

with family, friends or romantic,

the answers lie far from their fingertips,

the alienation may leave them quite frantic.
 *

Routines & ritualistic repetitions,

may be sought for a feeling of safety.

A desperate cry out for familiarity,

is needed or else their world shaky.

*

A painfully acute sensitivity,

to smell, or to taste or to touch,

a tightly knit boxed in rigidity,

may be clung to like some kind of crutch.

*

They may be natural born artists,

they may be good at music or maths,

they may well know not how to harness,

these gifts into good old hard cash.
 *

An apparent outward lack of empathy,

an inability to transmit their feelings,

a blanket expression or emptiness,

& a desperate need for deep healing.

*

The autistic of the savant kind,

is where one is a natural born master,

in one or two areas combined,

yet in anything else they're a disaster.

*

There are infinite variations,

as to how it may affect each individual,

this dis-ease taken hold for generations gone by,

& what we are left with are the residuals.
 *

They may have O.C.D. or anxiety,

or gut problems, or issues with food.

Sorry, but this sounds like our society,

in it's entirety, I don't mean to be rude!

*

But when you break down all the symptoms,

with insight, then what you will see,

humanity is riddled with autism,

it's so blatant, and obvious to see.

*

Everyone is undoubtably autistic,

from the typist, the guy in the chippy,

to the girl in the shop to the mystic,

to the sparky right through to the Bricky.
 *

Now tell me what is a 9-5,

if it isn't routine and repetition?

Patterns repeated, but where is the drive,

or pursuit of ones niche of life mission?

*

With divorces & marital breakdowns,

& teenagers turning to drugs.

Society is tied up and weighed down,

& begging for a BIG dose of love.

*

Little logic to the way things are ordered,

as we massacre down every tree.

Depression and nervous disorders,

social problems and yet more refugees.
 *

Caught in the money making matrix,

& fighting for individual survival,

majority unlikely to 'make it',

as the rest worship some kind of Idol.

*

As if our dreams are somehow unreachable,

so far away in the distance.

Conditioned that we're not all born equal,

any change is met with full blown resistance.

*

Bound to the illusion of separation,

& the age old portrayal of division.

Madness & utter confusion,

& a loss of ideological vision.

*

We live through our phones & computers,

relationships take the back seat,

our brains swapped for internet routers,

& kisses been jacked in for 'tweets'.

*

Money, the root of all evil,

prevents us from spreading the love,

freely, hence conscience retrieval,

has so little place in our jobs.

*

Environmental destruction on mass,

dismissed pioneering technology,

going to war, going out on the lash,

is the norm, not our natural-born prodigy.

*

Interconnection forgotten,

one man soldiers each battle alone,

& meanwhile the next generation,

is beaten right down to the bones.

*

Politics & control of the borders,

as countries needlessly go war.

The Root Cause- A widespread Brain Disorder,

of this I am comfortably sure.

*

The damage occurs each generation,

like a slippery downward sliding slope.

Each one goes to seed before the preparation,

hence many Mums & Dads cannot cope.
 *

Children conceived out of fear,

in attempt correct childhood wrongs,

or the fear of losing a relationship,

so we forget life could be a sweet song.

*

Hence babies born with more brawn than brains,

taught defense over heart or intelligence.

No time to cry out the pain,

or to ponder. Life's purpose deemed irrelevant.

*

When pesticides are a known neuro toxin,

so like fools we spray them over our food?!

Fact we have problems is not shocking,

as we head towards mass global fued. 
 *

Vaccinations and environmental toxins,

are the time-bombs on top of the cake,

leaving us frightened and boxed in,

our brains, whilst our hearts slowly aches.

*

Our heart-brains should be working in synergy,

but they're not, they are daily at war,

& the cause to many folks is a mystery,

yet the reasons are not so obscure.

*

Modern cultures divorced from the Earth,

our true mother increasingly poisoned,

and hence each generation, each birth,

is struck numb from the traumatisation.

*

The parents, however well intended,

heart broken, their dreams are in shatters,

as their offspring takes a downward spiral,

& the lessons unlearned where it matters.

*

The true cause of autism is clear,

everywhere we see signs of the evidence.

The true cause of autism is fear,

over lifetimes, leaving cultures so very dense.

*

What we have coined as 'Autistic',

in the deepest sentiment of the word,

is more about disconnect from our mystical nature,

and so memory of who we are blurs. 
* 

The last thread of cellular memory,

held onto like a mint full of gold.

Trudging through the damage of centuries,

to rediscover a treasure untold.

*

The solution is relatively simple,

yet the results only seen in slow motion,

and so it takes trust in the ripple affect,

in this expansive & mysterious ocean.

*

To respect the land, our Great Mother,

to treat her how we wish to be treated,

to share our affection with our kids, & lover,

and to surrender to our true self completely.

*

Oxytocin, induced by human touch,

is known to be neuro protective,

so if we chose love over lust,

we really can be re-perfected.

*

Take delight in the fruits of the forest,

to walk barefoot on the face of the Earth.

Antioxidants and flavonoids nourish,

electro magnetism all so freely dispersed.

*

Making the humble acknowledgment,

that we are all in it together,

therefore we must be conscious & vigilant,

if we wish sail this plane no more severed.

*

To embrace everybody's uniqueness,

'cause we each have a piece of the puzzle,

to delve into our spirits the deepest,

& then in time we shall burst our own bubbles.

*

The genius will return in the remembrance,

and the experience of who we really are.

Spiritual and neurological ascension,

It's within us, not some place so afar.

*

Right here, & right now, in this moment,

in the love between our loved ones akin.

The paradox is we are totally broken,

yet we have the resources within.
*

Everyone sits on the spectrum,

when we get that in our autistic heads,

the Genius Within shall make all the corrections,

& we shall rise straight up out of the dead.

*

Beyond autism is the knowing,

that you'll always be divinely connected,

& this Aspie is spitting out poems,

so each one of you is corrected.

*

Autism, to simply define it,

is the fear of unification,

& beyond the autistic mind set,

is the unity of all things in creation.
