Question: Do you remember that time when you sucessfully completed the "Voices" exercise in "A Yaqui Way of Knowledge"!?
*****
SILENCE THE INTERNAL VOICES

Stop at the sign, stop,
At the sign,
Reverberations, broken concentrations,
Non-vehicular representations,
In silencing the internal voices,
Long marches, narrow corridors,
Repetition of noises!.

Eighteenth attempt,
We are now stopped,
Visually past,
The sign in my mind,
No echoes!. No shadows!. No images!. No sound!.
I have stepped into nothing,
With a quick flip into the ceiling,
I am flying,
The buttress supporting a new reality,
The new observant component!.

I see me, and then he and me,
But he’s an it,
He actually is like,
Sea Urchins,
Pulsating spikes,
Central core, spherical gaseous layers,
Penetrations,
Separations,
Amalgamations,
A working model of the Universe,
Contemplation, experimentation, extrapolation,

An instant of seven minutes!.
How will I ever explain!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It all depends on what kind of a Yaqui it is!. A hairless European one is usually more gaseous and quick tempered than it's North American woolly cousin!. They are also more prone to spontaneous hallucinations!.

Hope this helped!.!.!. Sir!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is an amazing work of art!. Would you consider dividing S2 L5!? also, S3 L2 "He's AN it," probably a typo!.I need to read it several more times before it all sinks in

EDIT: I read it again!. "He's an it," actually makes sense!. Probably deliberate!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
