NO THING GAMES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Before the Beginning I was No Thing: 
a Source of Awareness, of Being, of Universes.
Thought, ideas, emotion, objects and time are Things I conceived.
I agreed to play a game in which No Things became Things.  
We played and betrayed ourselves 
into an unrelenting void of shivering dark
and incandescent light.  
In my basest state, a human being, 
I am a Warrior of Survival: 
a game that grinds every soul into dust.
I have lost the game. We have defeated ourselves.
The physical universe is not our home.  
I, alone, am the Source of Serenity
in the Icy Flames of Eternity. 
Remember who we are:  
No Thing.

THE ICY FLAME

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Before Being was the Icy Flame.
You and I and All.
The Flame conceives.
And From that Eternal Fire comes Thought:
Joy and Love and Pain.
We pretend. We betray.
We deceive Our Selves with play.
We invade the dark relentless void with incandescent Light.
Like candles in a forge we play a game that melts the soul.
Each victory drowns the flame within Our Selves.
And yet The Flame still lingers in us all.
We flicker faintly far from The Hearth of Home.
Burn brightly Lonely spark.
Remember You and I and All:
We are the Icy Fire.
