If there is one leap of faith to consider, it is the belief that ...
We are not seperate from the elemental forces that gave birth to us, and that no person or conscious entity who has ever lived, or will ever live, is priviledge to any knowledge, secrets or power greater than that which we ourselves already have, or are capable of acquiring through faith in ourselves.
We are at the forefront of time. We are at the threshold of experience. We are the keepers of consciousness. There is nobody ahead of us and there is nobody behind us. We are quite literally where it's at folks, and where it will always be.
Once we can grasp this one fact and understand that faith in ourselves in the light of this fact is our only concrete resource, we can apply loving kindness because we know that all living beings are in the same state. We can see through the petty troubled beaurocrats and angry husbands, resentful wives, spiteful children, egotistic colleagues, jealous siblings and into the light that these people have never witnessed even though this state is their rightful inheritance too.
The emotional vampires and troubled souls that previously infected our lives are impotent to curse us with their own pain as soon as we feel compassion for their unhappiness, and feel pity that they are in pain.
We do this through our faith in ourselves - a faith I propose may be capable of aligning us with the vibrations of the stars themselves until words are no match for magic ...
tell me you live this, ian. tell me that this is what goes through your veins. tell me this and let it be true.
ReplyDeleteyou have just driven a nail through my head and from out of the hole my ego ghosts out into the world kissing the heads of all of us human and vulnerable beings.

I agree. This is a wonderful post. If only I could always remember that compassion can transform even the most difficult of situations I would be a much happier woman. Keep reminding me x
ReplyDeleteAh!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYet, we need to be open to others' perspectives, points of reference, wide-eyed views, or the opposite. We need to accept that each of us is a universe in motion, into and out of each other's orbit.
I came from Erin's and I'm glad for this visit.
