You is who you ain’t

Thousands of mythic scenarios
To introduce you to yourself
Cuz' if you ain't who you is
You is who you ain't.

If you ain't who you is
Then you are something else
Something less than you
Something not quite real.

But then, who are you for real?
You are complete
Nothing less, there is no more,
You are everything at home.

Jesus said he has weaned us with milk
Because we are incapable of real food,
Did his best with the means he chose:
Taught by example, told us stories, used magic.

But after he died we capitulated
Bartered his sacrifice for a golden crown
Missed the point!
We are within, always within - never out.

If we ain't who we is
Then we are not real
If we are not real, we are illusions
"You is who you ain't."

We exist within these illusions
Accepting their apparent realities
The alternative to stepping outside
Too great a task - too much to risk.

We are as babies peeking out of armor
Trying to be safe & out of sight
But the monster dwells within the shell
Keeping the babies safe in hell.

To become who we are
We must be free to grow
No restrictions designed to control our flow
We must lose our fear.

Screen after screen we must burn free
Climbing the steps of the pyramid
Keeping our focus in violent storms
Trusting ‘who we are’ when there's nothing to hold onto.

As illusions fall away
We become more & more real
More & more aware that we are still not real
Gaining the sense to know the deal.

When the vibration ache has ceased
We will be released into the nothingness of everything;
The stillness of completeness
Finally, we will be who we is.
