The Immortal World – A Hymn

The immortality of happiness…

Maxus Irie

From “How To Be Happy” by Luke Andreski

 

Soap bubbles caught by the wind and flung

High up towards the smiling sun

In rainbow colours gaily dressed

Once loved, twice treasured and three times blessed

However short their blessed flight

Reflect life’s radiance and light

So we each float careless and free

From evolution’s destiny

And glitter and flash and shine so bright

With creation’s joy, creator’s light

And with momentous strength create

The immortal world in perfect state

 

There is no time, this time is all

Where civilisations rise and fall

And memories of our fleeting lives

Still shine like stars in timeless skies

And lives the folk of past times lived

Forever remain a timeless gift

There is no time tho’ time seems king

Of matter, space and everything

Yet all these things serve but to show

The beauty of the here and now

When is a cult not a cult?

September 26, 2013

 

Is a cult a cult if it calls itself a cult?

Is a cult a cult if it denies it is a religion?

Is a cult a cult if it is fundamentally secular?

These questions are all raised by the phenomenon of Maxus Irie, the so-called ‘captivating cult of happiness and joy’. Visiting the website http://www.captivatingcult.com you might think that you have stumbled upon something fundamentally innocent, particularly if you click on the link to be ‘transported to another place’…. but can a cult ever be truly innocent?

Judging by the t-shirts, I suspect the answer may be “Yes”.

Annoy your friends and family – join a cult

September 24, 2013

From the pen of the distinguished and hyper-intelligent Juliette Stevenson..

Maxus Irie

The Juliette Stevenson Interview:

A new cult is infesting our streets… but could it possibly be a “nice” cult?

What are cults and why are they bad? This summer a new cult came into existence: Maxus Irie, the “captivating cult of happiness and joy”. The brainchild of author and poet Luke Andreski, Maxus Irie celebrates and promotes happiness, love and joy while at the same time challenging the very notion of what a cult is.

I doorstep Luke Andreski during a conference in his local city, Bristol UK, and ask him some challenging questions about his new project. I begin by asking him, Aren’t cults fundamentally wrong-headed?

“Generally that’s the case,” Luke says as he ushers me into his quiet and studious household, “but my cult is different. Firstly, it is a fun cult, a cult which is meant to make you smile, a cult which is about nothing other…

Our Contentment And Love Last Forever

September 17, 2013

The poetry of happiness…

Maxus Irie

Leapfrogging, cartwheeling, gyrating and spinning

Our lives are the laughter of the now and ever after

Where happiness and joy

Are a part of forever

And our sadness and tears

Are in the never-never

And our contentment and love

Last for ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

And our contentment and love

Last for ever

 

Bounding, somersaulting, tumbling and leaping

Our lives are the laughter of the now and ever after

Where kindness and love

Are a part of forever

And our losses and our sorrows

Are in the never-never

And our smiles and our happiness

Last for ever and ever

For ever and ever

For ever and ever

And our smiles and our happiness

Last for ever

 

Stepping out, jumping up, ducking low, leaping high

Our lives are the laughter of the now and ever after

Where caresses and smiles

Are a…
