So when the moment arrives, (careening upon much graceful elation, no Less) I shall write nights with Fate. For Faith flushes the narrowest veins with Peace, And grows credulous with Clarity (Love’s best glasses, by the way) N o sweet questionings of invariable Blessings; I shall, indeed, Just Know ( said ) [This message has been edited by GOlDsparklESS (01-09-2003 12:26 AM).] |

why.....THANK YOU!!!! ::bows:: and now- the most stupendous thing in the universe edited, because i made SOME mistakeS. WHOOPS. IN MY STATE OF RAMPANT SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just letting you know I still exist. Dhan Nirankar! So how to describe the formless? All I know is I’ve been fighting Nothing, striving to find How-fighting the space between us. space between trees. I’ve been fighting to achieve the Preconceived, when allowing Wisdom At Once to come is the answer. Know here, now here. No more shoving words into a tube, snorting broken fears through a dirty dollar bill. A spotlight shines my slender, radiant light into the universe. Light hits Smog head-on; the city is smitten with dim lights draping night with false illumination. The mere confusion of gray; variables of nothingness hewn bleak upon innumerable gravestones. So utterly barren. Presumption’s assuming doom shields True Thought-the original untangled strands of love connecting stars in a wild sky. Cacophony competes for sight. Sight is one tenth of what we perceive. Perception is a hue on the spectrum-a glimpse of God’s ability. A glimpse of Eternity... A glimpse of Eternity! Imagine that! How could one imagine such a thing! A thousand years of darkness in trembling despair, waiting for a wild blue fire to consume me, inspiration aflame, Precious gem in hand.. Waiting for a bus? paltry, i scoff. A mere thousand years here I will stand. Waiting in the setting sun. this is no accident. Yet, let the image stand alone and chant, untamed, to the stars. Never let Time speak for the moment. ‘What is madness but the nobility of soul at odds with circumstance?’ I’m fighting a body! Nothing more! Quarantine. Each body contained, sufficient unto itself. What of Love? “You insist on being who you are no matter what the rest of the world is being!” it made me cry. psalms etched in Flame. An angel loves me more than I know. Know your blessings. Drive over the grooves in the road-Blue moods. Yellow surprise Know peace ahead of time Eternity. [This message has been edited by GOlDsparklESS (01-11-2003 04:09 PM).] |

So when the Moment arrives- Attain a state of being. One cannot “do” peaceful, “do” loving, “do” unified- Let what you’re doing reflect the State of being! (careening upon much graceful elation, no Less) Be grace. No Less. Coming FROM Peace and Love, Rather than trying to get TO them turns everything around. It shifts the paradigm of experience. ( the “axis”, so to speak) It places the Source of what is desired within, rather than outside of oneself. ~Which makes it accessible at all times and in all places.~ (thoroughly, Faith flushes the narrowest veins with Peace) This is genuine Power. The kind of power that Changes lives and Changes the world. Changes Fate. The kind of Faith that wrought power from Darkness in a faraway place… remember that? (Clarity, the highest level of perception. A glimpse through the glasses.) most states of being seems to be reactions to a thing. They do not have to be, though. They can be creations. Observe this: Right now when you move into any moment, you rarely do so with your state of being determined ahead of time. You wait until the moment happens, then react to the moment after it has occurred. The moment contains and provides an opportunity for highest expression. However, "Being something" is usually a response to the moment, a reaction. ( causes me to wonder... a vast, spiritually vacant planet indeed) … Perhaps I “wind up” being melancholy, sad, in turmoil. Perhaps you wind up happy, vacant, satisfied, blissful… disappointed, elated… moods move mythically in ebb and flow… ~going into tangent for a moment~ When expressed positively and felt fully- (intense natural emotions grief /anger/ envy/caution) inspire evolution PASSION, life force, energy in motion (E-motion), the alpha/omega, listening, lighting nights, hand in hand, hearts beat together, lighting a candle for a child, wild laughter, sweet doves, tears, promise, rebirth, revolutions, truth, a thousand stars in each eye, the big bang, embrace, fantastic sheer orgasm, the universe, kissing on moonlit shore or anywhere, brilliance, melody, romance, undying devotion, phoenix, moon outbursts, monsoon proclamations, serendipity, shooting stars, lullabies, reading books in a willow tree, peace, smiles, the engine of creation, poetry, the original language, blooming flowers of God’s tree, Elysium fields in all manner of beauty…love And when they are distorted… (intense unnatural depression/rage/jealousy/panic) inspire self-destruction ALIENATION, world obliteration, war, blood stained doorways, annihilation, a “possession obsession” destroying Earth, ugliness, nameless sinister predications, unwept deaths, mean people, weird drugs, ignorance bulldozing the rainforest right NOW, bitterness, grudges, ripping trust apart hungrily, twisting, an insatiable cultural fable, massive armies amassed, “forgetting” intentionally, jerks keying my car!, grimaces, hate's wake moves funeral processions behind mythic ships, greed hoarding, radiation wreaking havoc on generations, untold psychic harm, terrorists writing hate on paper airplanes and giving it a go, black hole sun bottled…fear emotions are grand and all..

But, suppose you decided ahead of time how you were going to be when you moved into that moment! Suppose you decided to be Peaceful. Do you think it would make any difference in the way that moment was experienced? blessingly right! ( I am so close) Let me tell you something. It is when you decide how you are going to show up before the moment “shows up” that you have attained Grace. You have learned True Grace. (Grace found) So…… when you (truly know, have faith ) decide ahead of time that your inner “state of being” is going to be peaceful and loving, understanding and compassionate, sharing, forgiving, calm and collected, no matter what any outer moment brings to you, it ceases to have a jarring effect-produce a “reaction.” Only then will the outer world have truly lost its power over you. (So I could be Peaceful no matter what the outer world is doing- and the irony here is that the world will be affected by what I’m doing. But- HOW can I remain peaceful when the world is demonstrating everything but Peace? Loving, when the world is demonstrating everything but Love? Ye, even forgiving the scowling face of contempt?)

::ahem:: "You insist on being Who You Are no matter what the rest of the world is being!" Slowly, the world touched by grace changes. “Yet, you cannot insist on being who you are if you don’t know who you are. Thus, the decision must be made ahead of Time. Remember this always: What you are being is Who You Are. You are not what you are doing.” I am not a human, doing I am a human, being. |
