Oh Weary One, in your flesh,
You, who walks the Earth,
longing for Heaven.

Every thought and action directed toward"attaining" Heaven,
only furthers the thought that you are separated from it.

Every thought and action directed toward "attaining" Liberation,
only furthers the idea that you are in Bondage.

What have you gained from this?

You carry HOPE, that the Promise of Heaven and Earth
becoming One, will soon be fulfilled.

It is this HOPE for the FUTURE,
that keeps you from seeing the REALITY of NOW

There is a reason why in the story,
Pandora's "Box of Evil" contained HOPE,
because HOPE is an evil itself.

Without Evil, there is no need for HOPE,
and so long as HOPE rules...
Evil will continue to seem to be.

One cannot exist without the other.

The thought of EVIL gives birth to HOPE.
The arising of HOPE gives breath to EVIL.

What have you gained from this HOPE?
What have the Generations gained ?

FAITH is the SUBSTANCE
of things hoped for,
the EVIDENCE
of things not seen.

FAITH is the destroyer of HOPE.

FAITH is the KNOWING,
that leaves no room for HOPING

Oh weary one, in your flesh,
you walk the Earth,
feeling separated from Heaven,

and your HOPE of Heaven
prevents you from enjoying
your blessed walk upon the Earth.

So,

"there"

you are...

separated from both Heaven and Earth.

Where can such a one dwell...

but in Hell ?

I agree with you all the way.

Hope is as bad a word as content to me.

I dislike both as they prevent the person to try or even want to change.

Acceptance may just be another word that is defeatist.

Thank you for writing this, enjoyed your thoughts. Jo
