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.

EMPATHY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Empathy-definitionThe entire history of humans on Earth is an unending cycle of birth within a biological body, a short lifetime of pain, intermittent pleasure, chaos, death and rebirth. So far as I know there has been few, if any, how have escaped this cycle. Many spiritual teachers and pretenders have claimed to have discovered “the way” to spiritual emancipation from this cycle. Religion organizations uniformly claim that their “group” are the “only ones” who know “the way”.

However, every Is-Be is completely unique.  (Is-Be = Immortal Spiritual Being, or Sentient Being) No two are the same.  Each one has a 1,000 small variables which identify them uniquely, like a thumbprint.

The “Golden Rule” is a philosophy and practice of kindness toward others and toward ourselves.  It is empathy…. being able and willing to “be” another being, to see through their eyes, to feel the feelings they experience.  This is understanding.  Every great guru describes a similar idea.

There is not enough pleasure or kindness on Earth to counter-balance all of the psychotic beings in this universe who play “duality games” of good / evil.  Such beings do not experience ANY empathy.  They cannot perceive the energy frequency of another Is-Be, except to control it or destroy it!empati

Empathy is the opposite of duality.  Empathy is Oneness.  It is Being and experiencing AS All.  Empathy is a state of being in which there is no duality games, because there is no opponent, no enemy.  Only Being.  Everyone plays together and accomplish a common goal or purpose that is mutually beneficial to all. Everyone “wins”.

I do not think there is any group of Is-Bes in the physical universe that can play a game and also be truly empathetic.  There is no benevolent leader or ruler or army or organization in this universe.  This universe is made of opposites:  positive / negative energy.  If you remove one side or the other the entire universe will collapse and there is no longer a game to play or a universe to play it in!

Apparently, there is not proven “therapy” or “technique” that can be applied to a group of Is-Bes to trap them, or to free them of mental or spiritual enslavement. However, there may be a way “out” of imprisonment for an individual from the chaos and psychotic duality of the “Game of Earth”.  Empathy. Be all, and every, and each, as yourself.

SURVIVING ETERNITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

ONE KNOWS

ONE DOES NOT DISCUSS ETHICS
WITH A SNAKE WHEN IT STRIKES.

ONE DOES NOT SEEK JUSTICE
IN THE JAWS OF A SHARK.

BANKERS, SOLDIERS, POLITICIANS,
AND PRIESTS WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

POWER, CONTROL AND POSSESSION
ARE THEIR NATURAL SCHEME.

BEINGS OF GOOD WILL TREAT EACH OTHER
AS THEY WOULD BE TREATED THEMSELVES.

EVERY CREATURE SURVIVES
ACCORDING TO ITS KIND.

GOOD AND EVIL ARE SEEN THROUGH
THE EYES OF PREDATORS AND PREY.

SURVIVAL IS AVOIDING PAIN.
PLEASURE IS LOVE ETERNALLY.

ONE KNOWS THAT SURVIVAL IS A GAME
THAT IMMORTAL SPIRITS CANNOT PLAY
UNLESS THEY FORGET THAT THEY ARE THEY.

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.
