Empty Blanket

I like sleep more than most. It is always refreshing to wake up to... forgiveness. If I want one thing I will get it. The Virgin God is a truth-teller, so as I want bare nothing I am bare nothing. Peace wants silence.

Who wanted truth, anyway?

A protagonist.

Think Once

Heaven lies when heaven dies
Hell speaks truth but only cries
There is no way to be unfair
In the light of all that's rare

I have opened my heart to blessings rife
And closed my eyes in the morning light
The better thought I seek to tell
As merry burdens fare me well

The better way is always first
There is no answer to an honest curse
Loving nothing more than peace's stance
I have, my word, taken my chance

If I ever see her face again
She was quite herself but truly smart
That's the way I need my heart
There never was a place to start

Now movement overcomes not greed
But impending forces can't proceed
I don't know why, I know my self
And that is my own vibrant health

holy, holy, holy

What is magic?

Magic is the miracle of life made perfect, ie honouring all men and appreciating all women for being tolerant. To have this happen, the magician must love himself in such a way as to ignore enemies. The enemies are both right and wrong, so such a concept must be dropped. What is between right and wrong? Pure fun. It is necessary to have mastered ego, which thus can be put to use as service. [Service wins.]

So,

1) Accept your purpose - heaven on earth
2) Win your only game - you should know
3) Be magnanimous - magic is not for heroes
4) Tilt when unhappy - cheats are out

The difference between FAITH and NOTHING is circumspect... but BOTH make one happy.

Spirituality et al.

Everyone who knows spirituality at some point understands that Love is the only meaningful thing. Now, there are two ways this understanding lives. By light or by sound. Light, for believers, sound, for followers of anything. Everyone literally believes in the light, when they do believe. So be that the choice is unique, then.

[Back from Christianity to learn about free will, lol]

The Spirituality of Fear

Fear is post-life and pre-birth - people are being rebirthed all the time. The difference between sane fear (innocence) and victimhood (guilt) is consciousness. Consciousness wants TO love, it is just a question how how. So, what do you want next? What is in your memory that will transgress into the future? Will you be a sound now? These are the questions that determine your Divinity. Of course, divine fear is not afraid - it is simply too unique and fun-loving.

One can fear any way at all, any thing at all, for any reason at all. The sketchboard is fair and apt to knowledge. It's just a matter of realising the past and the future, right now, and calling it a journey.

Fear is the heart of love - once feared it is chosen. So be good to yourself and make that choice conscious.

The difference between honesty and truth is purpose.
The difference between purpose and life is the divine.
therefore,
The truth is as divine as it is guided - not to be typically normal but to know something more, which we call heaven.

And I am.

True Freedom

safe enough to call god worthy,
vulnerable enough to call god sound,
proper enough to call god wise,
knowing enough to call god divine...

... hence is the definition to a place in the Kingdom.

The Heaven Trick (!)

Post by barker »

The Heaven Trick

The Heaven Trick is to smile having healed. By all means make it to the end of your path and you will certainly meet fate. Thing being, when you're happy fate is not an antagonist. People follow, OK. All that comes of that photosynthesis is divine and fortunate, ugly as the situation may actually seem to be. barker

seeds of destruction

the one thing, the best finding
the least of all guilts, made me understand,
the significance of time,
and i never knew why.
things that happen, things that don't,
love that means it, life that won't,
i must regress to eternal proof,
the matters that were not brought of youth.
for less to understand i acknowledge truth,
for more to realise i forget,
i don't need a hammer,
for a hammer has no wonder.
all good things i may beget.

- a fool

They have conquered death

the overly bored and the tiresom,
two different people.
all meet at death though,
and agree on the theory
that all cannot understand the significance
of a lifetime of trying,
unless one can overcome
the certain fear of dying...

To open your heart - this can be done on paper.

1. establish your mind as alone - this is about the fear of death
2. realise what you want - sex and money and everything in-between
3. affirm the best choice - knowledge/knowing is the gateway to more

The rest is working with love. Clearing, healing, and whatever magic suits best. Your depth is your level of wisdom, dig as far as comfort joyfully allows. Bliss.

Let there be light

as i watch and wait
something opens with me that i do not recognise
the ever-loving presence of myrrh
knows the price, to being nothing

what doesn't think
doesn't exactly work,
what only breathes
doesn't exactly suffer

when there's something to do
i'll know better than Everest
it's very easy when you know how to choose
the only thing that rejoices in existence...

Love.
