Playing with Worlds: an anthology of non-dual poems

by Peter Baker

These poems and aphorisms are outpourings about the way in which our worlds are continually imagined and yet can seemingly take on an objective reality of their own - and how the remembrance of this is a realisation that is both revolutionary and yet immediately obvious.With a lightness of touch and deceptive simplicity these poems meander between the ridiculous and the sublime without ever losing the flavour of the infinite consciousness of which both they and you are revealed to be the playful expressions.Through the use of paradox, metaphor and humour these words allude to the presence of that which could never be spoken of explicitly.“Read these jewels like a prayer, and then drop them like a hot potato” - anon“First I assumed I was a person with awareness… in a world… with others, but then I discovered I am the Awareness of ‘a person in a world with others’.Of course this didn’t really change anything… but it made all the difference.” - Peter BakerPeter Baker was born and grew up in the heart of England more years ago than seems conceivable. He studied psychology and philosophy at Sussex University before dabbling in schoolteaching, systems analysis and environmental management.He then wandered around for a bit but is now back in Kenilworth, Warwickshire where he lives, breathes and writes. A being in time for the time being. Or so the story goes.
