Did you ever read M. Scott Peck's "The People Of the Lie"? They are all in church Sunday morning, but you'd never know it when they close the doors to their homes. Balanced on the point of reality does this tortured soul stand so close to the light that he cannot see? Illumination only mesmerizes, hypnotizes, paralyzes Like the proverbial deer at the moment of cessation... Information is categorized, compartmentalized, memorized, analyzed Being aware of the omniscience of the Light yet failing to truly live in the Presence accepting a nodding acquaintance with the Power relying instead on static belief systems dogmas, precepts, and societal norms Being lulled into dull-witted somnambulence by electronic hypnosis, non-edifying behavior and speech Filling that hole in the soul with temporal surcease which brings no peace, and gives no release Peace, Joe |

"Filling that hole in the soul with temporal surcease which brings no peace, and gives no release" I loved the way this read. Rolls off the tongue. Always drink upstream from the herd. |
