"When I say NATURAL RHYTHM OF THE UNIVERSE, I mean the term quite literally: the unconscious is a producer of music whose most salient feature is RHYTHM. Now, if you know this RHYTHM, it is possible to sail right into your unconscious in an almost trance-like state. This RHYTHM seems to be pulsations of energy. When you truly get into this RHYTHM, you go beyond rational mind and thinking. The RHYTHM may be felt in your entire body in which case your body becomes the RHYTHM and you dance. The RHYTHM may energize words in which case your voice becomes the RHYTHM and you chant. Poetry speaks from the unconscious of the poet to the unconscious of the reader because the real rhythm of poetry is THE RHYTHM. It is difficult to say in words what I mean, but as if the joy & sorrow of being were compressed into a phrase which you say over and over--again & again--and it is not a phrase of words but of RHYTHM--a pulse of energy--and each time you say the phrase you recognize the truth of it and add: "yes" and the truth of it is the melody, the "yes" is the melody that you add to the RHYTHM--and though the RHYTHM goes on & on forever there is constant variation too--and, so, you begin to put in the variation: and soon you are no longer you: YOU ARE THE RHYTHM and there is no difference between YOU and the UNIVERSE and all of the joy & sorrow that has ever existed: you are one. And that is the RHYTHM."
