SOUL WORK

How is it possible to work on what we no longer believe in –
The word “soul” having become archaic and anachronistic –
Western Civilization placing it to one side at least 500 years ago.

Children still understand souls however –
As the unique selves in which they live and play –
Children know all about heart shrines
And wishes that really come true.

A soul is what we like to say is:
“God within us.” 

Having a soul means that, as a mature human being,
We’re authorized to marry God –
Folding supreme love inside a white handkerchief
Placed next to our hearts.

One’s soul is priceless –
Which is why we’re so tempted to give it away for free.

One’s soul is completely free –
Just like God is free –
And love.

The soul is a jewel beyond value –
A spiritual dream which, over time, becomes real –
And nearer to us than our closest living relative.

The soul is actually me – if I want to claim it –
And I do want that.

God, please, please, free my soul –
Just like you promised us so long ago.

THE “MYSTICAL” BEATITUDE

Mathew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.”

The pure heart is an “empty” heart
A heart with plenty of room
For God.

The pure heart is a heart without ego
Because living without ego
Enables one to experience life without fantasy.

The Old Testament tells us that anyone who looks “directly” at God
Will immediately die –
And this is true for the ego
Because an ego’s encounter with God will result in its obliteration.

The “true self,” that is, the pure heart, can look at God
All day without harm –
In fact, that’s when the true self gains the power
To live life fully.

STUNG INTO LIFE

We believe it’s impossible to “be like God” –
So, instead, we dissolve into puffy white clouds
And float across endless blue skies.

We’ve also come to believe that it’s impractical for us to “die”
In order to live,
But, on unique occasions, we’re able to do it anyway.

After all, Jesus did it, and not just at the end of his life –
But every moment of every day –
So, logically,
So can we.

Overhead, “death” circles
Like a buzzing blue-bottle fly.

Go away death!
We don’t want to be stung
Into life
Today.
