self denial over indulgence

1. that’s how strong my love is…

rising above the surface of all things

come the sounds and colors of those beings

giving voice to vision…their one heart sings…

"…that’s how strong my love is."

2. we have been always and always will we be

…we are an evolving illusion, an illusion sometimes boldly, sometimes barely cognizant of itself in four dimensions of space, we call this level of awareness human…..that is, human awareness is the illusion we vainly consider next higher in relation to animal life, which we deem next higher to vegetable, which is to us, next higher to mineral life…

…make no mistake, these lower life forms are proceeding upon their own evolutions and are in their own way, many orders of magnitude advanced over the haphazard grasp we now hold upon our emerging sense of self…

…whether or not we consciously connect with the unending gratitude for all life, we are carried forth by these evolving life forms in our ration of mortal flesh and blood and bone but, more than these are we and more than human can we be…

...in sincere thankfulness, from this human level of awareness, it is possible to reach the next higher sense of the timeless fifth dimension of eternity…

…for, knowing eternal now, we rise from identity attachment into a new realm of life, a heavenly life that celebrates the art and craft of self discovery...in this new life, we perfect the art of reflection, to be the of mirroring of divinity…

…it is our acceptance of, and care for, this life of illusion, that has brought us beyond its confusion and conceit, and we are delivered to a life of tender discipline and devotion…

…a life of compassion in practice, a human life that, knowing all as one, knows its origin to be the reality of the celestial self…

…in our divine conception of our human life, (and we very well did conceive our selves into being, otherwise we could not be aware of our selves as we are, nor have any sense of who we are)…

…in our conception of our human life…the five dimensions of space and the worlds they contain we instantaneously create in the reflective response of our receptivity to the one everlasting sensation of love and bliss and rapture, that extends about us everywhere and forever…

…to those of human form, in which, the sense of five dimensions of space lies dormant, this instantaneous transformation remains completely imperceptible…

…this is our sublime sense of eternal life, which, never being not there, surpasses our illusion of human birth and death…

3. condemned to the hangman’s knot

…as we penetrate the illusion to its true depths, we discover that pride is the power behind the throne, upon which, in our god like judgement of others, we sit…

…in reality, by the sentences pronounced in our petty adjudications, we are literally cloaking our own inadequate weaknesses, and resultant guilt, not innocence, in our presumption of another’s failings…however, these failings are our failings alone…

…our failings, (which btw are sworn to answer truly only in defense of our own complaint), our failings…the other does not, nor cannot, possess as we do…

…isn’t this what the ancients really meant in their admonition to avoid the bearing of false witness against another, or the simple…judge not, lest ye be judged?…

…it is this pride that adulterates and corrupts our vision…it is the misplaced arrogance in our own invulnerability that, all the while, shackles us to a life of slavery…

...and what slaves we have evolved into, helplessly given over to the shameful pride we take in the selfish agony of our otherwise purposelessly enduring pain…

...purposeless, that is, except for the sake of our exquisite taste for suffering, in which, we roam the dark and mysterious worlds of our alienation and loneliness…

…hell worlds where we recount a lifetime of tedious testimony as if the triviality of it could torture the truth from mere repetitive memory…

…when will we free ourselves from the burden of our grief struck brutality, a defensive fear filled life of rejection and retribution?…

…when will we free ourselves from the greatest deception there is…the illusion to end all at the opening of the gallows door?…

…when, when will we no longer inhabit a world of material misrepresentation, in which, we find our craven identities to be little more than life long suicides?

4. love comes from living

…i want to fill you with my desire for essence…for ultimately, we are here sent…to simply set each other free…

…clinging to our singular sensation of motion, the conditioned identity can know only the finite limit of light and not see its manifest meaning within us and within all about…

…beyond doubt, we exist and the world exists…but, as we advance and progress…..we exceed light speed, and we no longer need…..to live seemingly separate lives, each a star struck identity frightfully, delightfully, suffering in this or that momentary illusion of our own making…

…loving and accepting ourselves as we are really means, evolving the power to give up our mental, physical, and emotional attachments to these illusions transpiring in time…

...in the daily performance of their surrender and sacrifice, we attain to the holy harmonic, total identity with the divine, and we are overcome by an irresistible gratitude that our reality can, in this way, be known…

…accordingly then, we are become as one with the heavenly form of godself…and truly, in this, is the secret, the secret most subtle and sublime, the secret by which, we conceive our selves into being without beginning, and how we realize our selves to be one life without end…

...but, if for mortal minds, there must a beginning be, then, it is when, we first realized our comprehension of the void to be the divine power that forms the world we inhabit…

…by the resonate power of our identity, we can attain to the vibration of the sacred words of selfhood, or cast deception and dispersion in spells of selfish sorcery…

…as we clearly pronounce the true name of god, it is to the one love between us and all that we first sanctify, and then sacrifice our false pride and its cause, our crushing loneliness…

…and upon this, the holy blessing of humility fulfills our forsaken sense of abandonment and all emptiness departs…and truly trusting each other with the innermost secret of our lives, our conception of self, we behold one another as more beautiful than ever in the wholeness that fills the void…

…it is here, that our hearts are liberated from the bonds of self denial…and we are come forth as one in the unending ecstatic instant of radiant splendor that forever surrounds…

…it is then that, we know the peace that passes understanding.
