Humankind against Humankind
Humankind against Nature
They claim to know you but they can barely recognize the tip of their own nose. How ironic then that it be I who have been given this path to hold up the mirror before their eyes. Yet, my hands are far from steady.
I who sought refuge in an idea knowing within my heart of hearts that worshiping an idea was no better than laying fruits, beads, and grain down at a statue - not understanding what that image actually symbolizes. Who would have thought that an idea could even be an idol in and of itself?
I have walked the path of Your most humble servant. Letting go to discover more. More than can I could have ever imagined. Yet, in my path, I somehow manage to continue walking alone. Here am I walking out upon the water to call out for you to lend me your Almighty ear.
I now understand the Truth. A taste of Yggdrasil’s bark upon my tongue.
This is the elixir of Life. Some practitioners will stir the pot day in and day out never knowing the true ingredient that yields the immortal potency - Peace!
Yet, peace! Thou proverbial Light at the end of the tunnel for a child! Who would have guessed that finding You would have also meant walking with a mind in Heaven while sore feet traverse the pits of Hell. This is the meaning of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! It has nothing to do with a visible entity that can be named! Lao Tzu said it right when he claimed that the way is that which cannot be named! Even the Heart Sutra puts it out there that form is emptiness and emptiness is form! Those with ears - let them hear!
Yet walking through Hell is no easy street. One who has attempted to find Heaven in Hell is battered and bruised! How can one not think they are insane trodding down avenues of insanity?!??
And yet I heard you say, “Keep your hand to the plow! Stay the course!”
The people have heard it said by their Master, “The truth shall set you free!” But, they sold the truth for a lie! They traded Hope for Lust in their hearts. Lust for power and for glory - but none for peace. Nay, peace they yearned for but could never reach.
They were led astray to believe that they were not the rightful owners of such a Powerful No-Thing! How can they recognize that which they believe to be foreign to them: a kind of peace only to be fully realized once the tongues of Hell consumed them. And they thought that THAT was when they’d see Heaven! Such agony and despair for something they can taste today!
Peace, Love, & Joy - these words are deeper than can be described. That’s why they are so paramount yet so confused with camaraderie and earthly happiness. These are the elements of who you are! They are the truth of ether that pervades everyone across the globe. No philosopher could fully reason it and no priest could have fully express it! But, everyone sees a glimpse of it. Some call it Chi. Some call it Karma. And then some learned to transcend the Wheel of Samsara and realize that resting in Your Truth was the only way to truly see the fine points of what Peace, Love, & Joy are.
If I truly am mad then let my madness be the ship steered by the hands of Nirvana - Samadhi - Everlasting Peace - Being There. Being Here & There.
Seeing that the Wheel really does keep on turning. Shall I ride out on the fringes of the oscillation or shall abide at the Axis upon which it turns?
Oh Peace where are you now? You are here. No more chasing the light at the end of the tunnel. Better to shine the light within through whatever course I am led on this Mighty Ocean of Life!
I hold up a glass! A toast for the Infinite Light to Shine Evermore!
