Meditate

Time was woven into creation
to keep souls unprepared for the truth
anchored to this plane, to protect them
from knowing the infiniteness of God

The experience of time
is the proof of separation from Him
from which all things flow

It is the evidence
that we are in exile
far from home
away from the domain of spirits

Sperm and egg collide
nine months before a soul arrives
desire brings two bodies together
nature and time do the rest

Desire...joining...merging...passage of time...life

But in our home country
the land of the eternal light
beings exist outside the context of time
we as exiles know this instinctively

Eternity is always now. No then. No before. No after. Just now. All the time.

Return home. Stop time. Meditate.

The sphere

Jasper: You quiet son. What you thinking?

Joybringer: Man, it just occured to me that if God keeps moving the way he's doing, he's going to have to move in on himself sooner or later. Like, how many planes and dimensions is he going to create? Sooner or later the axes planes are going to intersect, form a sphere, all wrapped in on itself, moving in on itself.

Damn son, that's the big bang theory right there. Big bang starts the universe expanding, and in the end the whole thing will end with it collapsing on itself. Big bang, then big collapse! Trip!!

Jasper: (with a blank look on his face) Yes, you have now officially lost it. It's no longer a possibiity, it's a reality.

View from the edge

Imagine infinite, never ending space expanding outwards. If you can imagine that then you're seeing what God sees.

The Universe/God is expanding. Get with the program.

Let him flow through you. Give. Of yourself. Of your passions. Of your means.

Expand. Touch lives. Give.

View from the Sun

From the Sun, a car travelling 400 km/hour on Earth looks stationary. From God’s view, all our struggling and striving for material things looks like nothing. God beckons us to come see from his view.

If I could...

I would spend more time with my baby sister
follow my real passions, my heart's desires
take that trip to Asia I've been dreaming about
apply for the PhD programs been thinking about
throw caution to the wind, release the vice on my heart
and love her like she seems to love me
and that goes for either of them

But I won't do any of these things
I seem intent on piling up to-dos
need more for future regrets to chew
if I could I would, but I won't

Heaven beckons

We gots to get free
open your eyes
can't you see
there ain't no you
there ain't no me
it's all us
there ain't no family
and no non-family
it's all one
the human family
the mind's got to expand
beyond 3D we need to learn to see
before this earth we leave
we must find our place
make it a temporaty home
before we leave for that which is eternal
heaven beckons, "come home"

Everything but brown

Everyone's beautiful in God's eyes
but I ain't God
and I still think you're the bomb!

You heart is pure
your mind is sharp
but Imma focus on your body for this one

You fine girl
the spark in your eyes
the heart warming smile
that striking blend of black hair
and lovely chocolately brown skin

Ha, your skin
don't know how you do it
but Mars bars ain't got it like you do
The chocolate layer that is your skin glows
it invites me to touch
to kiss
to stroke

Otto tells me your skin is the way it is
coz it reflects brown light
and absorbs all the other colours

well, I ain't no biology professor
but I do know this
You don't need no make-up
that your lovely smooth skin can do without
your skin, the colour of Mother Earth
and when I kiss you
it's like returning to her
you are my earth
the foundation on which I rest my heart
the place to which I return
when its all said and done

I cherish you
I love you
I adore you
You who are everything but brown
