BEING WITHOUT A BODY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

I write or edit books for Spiritual Beings and about Spiritual Beings.  Personally, I think there is far too much literature in our culture that glorifies games played in the physical universe.  Foremost in importance of those games, we are told by play-writes, poets and other propogandists, are those being played by Beings who inhabit bodies.

However, as Spiritual Beings, we are most certainly not a physical object.  We may inhabit and animate the body — endow it with life — from time to time.  However, animating an object does not mean that one IS the object.  Western culture in particular enforces the false notion that each person IS a body.  This activity is a trick and a trap.  It is a method of control devised to enslave everyone, including the benefactors of slavery such as priests, politicians, bankers and other self-appointed aristocrats.  Thieves and tyrants like these are also Spiritual Beings, though they deny that reality to themselves, as well as those they pretend to ‘lead’.

I trust you will find some story, poem, or insight in my books that will help remind you  that you are the spiritual essence that is You.  I empathize with you, as we float on this mirage in space called Earth.  This is not our home.  Although we are not alone, I am sure that You are the Hand that guides You. I encourage you to remain true to yourself.  Be your own best friend.  We may endure that rest of Eternity alone, unless you  and I can find each other in the end — with or without a body.

~ below is an  excerpt from the book Pan-God of The Woods   

“Derek wondered how astronomers ever managed to get over the feeling of their own utter insignificance; a majestic humiliation brought on by this clashing contrast of magnitudes. The microcosm within the macrocosm; a flea on a flea on a flea on a flea, ad infinitum. The was, the is, and the will be of infinite space and time and matter and the inestimable magnitude and power of twinkling stellar energy: the face of God.

PAN GOD OF THE WOODS

There was nothing to save him from these thoughts except to sleep; to not be — until the chariot of dawn was driven by the sun to slay the dark illusion of the night and restore myopic sight to those who need eyes to see.

Towering trees seemed to touch the stars above him. Through the boughs a breeze whispered a hushed and haunting hymn.

In sleep he dreamed he heard the simple piping of a flute. There were words he would not remember in the morning — words without a voice to sing them, as though a child were humming a rhyme to himself:

“I hide in the fuzz on a butterfly wing.

I ride the on waves of electron rings.

I hear the songs that a ladybug sings.

I can be small, like the tiniest things.

 I like to play leapfrog over the sun,

Run around Venus and Mars just for fun.

Jogging to Pluto is just a short run.

Heavenly hopscotch is easily done.

 By changing my viewpoint I’m smaller than small

I fly with my thoughts! I’ll never fall!

I decide to be none! I decide to be all!

I am immortal — immeasurably tall.

 You’re just a man! You’re weak and small!

I dare you to find me! I dare each and all!

You’ll never see me. You’ll never get near.

I am a god! I don’t have your fears!

 I’m here, then I’m there. I’m free to be free.

I don’t need to eat or breathe or pee!

I am who I am. It’s fun being me!

The same Pan I’ve been, and always will be!”
