Awakening

Awakening

Here we are standing infant of each other, wondering if we have a boundless thirst for significant awareness. But yet, at the same time, we still wonder if our souls have spaces of which we are unaware of and cry out for furnishing.

Neglecting knowledge and growth is a free choice and the potential for man as man, regardless of time, place, station or wealth, nullifies the participation in what is highest.

Don’t get confused for this is not dependent on chance but on an individual decision which will determine the life or the complete destruction of our eternal soul.

There is a spiritual yearning, a powerful tension of the soul to discover and enrich its existence but the culmination of a purpose it’s not yet seen.

All the busyness and noise around us has left our souls exhausted and flaccid, capable of calculating, but not of passionate insight.

A spiritual bleeding has taken place and no one seems to care. What will it take? Whom shall it kill next?

It has come to a point where without a deeper soul purpose we become an extra piece of human carnage walking around lifeless.

Torment by day and torment by night will be the existence of an unaccomplished soul. While unused muscles will knot the potential of a one time thirst full spirit.

A vision of the world no longer exists  nor do high models of action or profound sense of connection towards others.

But one thing remains true, as long as we live, our soul won’t stop crying out for some kind of furnishing in one way or another. And its yearn for completion will never seize!

Journey

Journey

Separated at birth.

The beginning of the end.

Opportunities to seek; decisions to make.

Wonders to experience and reasons to understand.

Abstraction emerges but the essence is the same.

Colors may blind me; but they will never distract me.

As deep as the ocean can reach, that is how much I want to know.

Beyond what my mind can see. There is where I want to go.

Restriction will fade away. Sickness will be conquered.

Confusion vanishes. My body will be free of effect.

Trouble becomes none popular. Vanity will be put away.

Time and space are extinguished.

My immortality will consume me.

No more doubt will exist.

No more intrusion. I will be defined.

Stability calls out and decaying will seize.

My mind cannot comprehend so much.

But I know it’s true.

It’s just a permanent high.

No more ups and downs.

What a limitless existence!!!

Players

New things emerge when there is a need.

But nothing is new; it has always existed.

Our wisdom is controlled but it sets us free.

The ocean confines itself to the space ordered;

the stars keep themselves still;

the seasons come and go as scheduled;

nothing gets affected until it is told to be affected;

shapes and forms are created by universal principles;

gravity pushes creation into its established place;

weather offers productivity.

Who are we to want to control something that goes

beyond our understanding and that we

do not have the capacity for it either?

We forget that we are created and not creators.

It is true that we have a free will.

But we choose within a ruled over space.

Making us free in an ordered realm.

It can only take an omniscient and omnipotent

to fully understand everything.

None of us fit that description but God.

Why waste time in being something we can’t be?

We should focus on being who we are suppose to be.

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”
