An Exciting Discovery

 [thoughts from a  ~burning woman~ ]

 

Slowly and in obvious gradations, I was taught, and learned, to contemplate endlessly living: I AM -- "spirit" entity ever going through life, in life, with life. 

 

A participating observer contemplating aeons in endless space while toying with the remembrance of what I had been, what I am (knowing now I move too fast to ever know that aspect of me), what I choose to project myself into: so many variants.  A speck of dust, plasma, light, wind, water, biological freak.  Mutating, changing, disappearing to reappear along the Great Way... without end. 

 

This is truly exciting.  This amazing nature that can morph itself to effectively match every change in circumstances.  Observe the flow, swim alongside of it... jump in! 

 

Find a new expression (say as an Earthian human) and if you use an acceptable pattern of introduction (the birth process), who's to know you're just a hitchhiker?  Only those who also know, who do their laughing and crying inwardly.  Logically. 

 

Feelings are for surface people. 


 

A surface person?  How about a re-incarnation in a short-lived, overly complex mammalian form so taken for granted by those who have forgotten the depths?  What could be riddled with more feelings?  What could be a greater riddle? 

 

Does it matter billions of ISSA beings insist on thrashing about in their small polluted pond unaware that an ocean awaits just a thought beyond? 

 

To the one who has ridden that thought and tasted that ocean, it does not.  But if that same one has learned compassion through service, life then beckons in reverse.  Time to redeem.  Time to plow, blending joy with sorrow.  Carry the surface image, live below in the depths.

 

Searching for a word to bless the meaning of life with, I chose "effervescence." 

 

To discover one's reality within life is an outbreak, a bubbling, the accompaniment of a stormy turbulence.  Life never sleeps, though it may certainly hibernate.  A pause, that's all.  Then an awakening filled with an awe that quickly turns to hunger. 

 

Will that hunger be that of the predator, or that of the redeemer?

 

The world understands the predator.  He can slake his thirst in blood, satisfy his hunger in flesh easily enough. 

 

What does the redeemer find here?

You write so many unusual blogs and articles - the articles allow us to comment back. All I can say is your say things in such an unusual way, that no one can remain indifferent - we are forced to wrestle with your meanings. Some of this goes by me but certinly not the stunning open-ended "conclusion" Questions without answers are still worthy and life-revealing, reverberating!

It is all truly relative to perception. The "Highwayman Album" of Cash, Nelson, Jennings and Kristofferson offers one intersting perception in a song. " I'll fly a starship, cross the universe divine, and when I reach the other side, I'll rest my spirit if I can, or perhaps I may become a highwayman again, or I may simply be a single drop of rain, but I will remain, and I'll be back again and again and again and again".
