Existence

I am reside remotely beyond your consciousness much like a reflection from the front of a glass mistaken as a ghostly image if search me out beyond where I exist. You can always sense me like someone who’s suddenly standing behind you, yet when you turn around; I am never there.  Yet I am the one who whispers in your ear and warns you of pending danger. I can end up being your better sense or a ghost who constantly haunts your mind. I have no name because I only exist in a spiritual form. Some refer to me as a soul, and I’m beyond reasoning in this world.  Since no one can physically touch me or see me much like the air you constantly breathe I am always present within you until a time you no longer exist.  Whether I stay around or go off to another place, only those who really know of me sense my time and space.  To them I share wisdom from beyond and they understand me and know my value.  Many are concerned of my future and search me out through confirmed religious faith and not where I dwell.  They are easily misled by what they feel and not what lies within themselves.  Their religious text speaks of me in the realm I reside, but they lean toward their thoughts where I can not be found and am only a dream.  I hold the mystery of the world and what lies beyond, be it good or distress is a matter of the mind, I am connected to what is beyond time and space.  To many I do not exist.  To a few all that does who find my spiritual sense.  Look deep within your heart in a lonely quiet room, but be aware you may not like what you find.  I am what is present, and what is really inside of you and it can be a scary place to find.  Seek me out if you have the courage because I am part of what does not exist and everything that does.  At first in my presence you’ll find I have the images and voices of demons, but if you stay long enough you’ll also find I also have images and sweet songs of angels.  Whether I’ll change your outlook on existence only time will tell.

The soul certainly is an interesting thing.
Thanks for posting this...a lot of food for thought.

Thank you for taking the time to respond while the world spins through time and space.  I realize I’m about as important as an ant compared to the outer realm in which I exist, should think as such; not too much sun, not too much water above my knees.  Be concerned of a larger being then me, so as not have an untimely demise, an untimely surprise if I follow the swam who leave where they are suppose to stay.   What food for thought I have found I share freely.  It is but a small piece so savor it slowly.  If you hunger for more remember where you can find it.  For now I must go—perhaps down my little hole, perhaps to find a larger stone to roll.   You are all too kind.
