the energy of life

the energy of life, the moment of awareness, the opening of the heart, the connection to your true purpose, the timeless action that engulfs the mind and engages the spirit. this existence carries the elements of transcendence, the tools for transformation, they surround our physical nature, they permeate our thinking, everywhere you feel the expansion and connection to a greater and more inclusive consciousness than you experienced before. the plane of human life is saturated with love and awareness, the means to connect to all that is offered. the universe is a playground for the spirit. nothing can touch it, everything is physical, mental, vital, there is nothing to hold  the spirit except through misidentification, attachment, desire for this short lived state. we are not born to the soul, or die in spirit, there is no aging and dissolution of the being within. you enter this form, experience the density and attraction of matter, interact with the multiplicity of form and feelings. the world becomes more than a temporary state of altered consciousness,its attraction and delusion of solidity and urgency become like drugs to the ephemeral nature of the true self. this massive self of rock and iron, the ego that is poignant yet playful, the feeling of being connected which is suddenly the opposite of what was a moment ago complete separation, that has never been possible. to be alone to be the only rubber ducky in the bathtub. there is the thrill ride of the universe, to be completely alone and vulnerable and yet think you have any control over the overwhelming force of universal consciousness and manifestation, to be one infinitesimal individual, in the midst of unending unity and awareness, this is the magic of delusion and the attraction of the separate self. into this you are thrust, not as punishment or reward, but to do a job, to experience the divine self diminished and limited and fragile and vulnerable, to be that which has no safety or security, no way to survive, powerless and fearful. all that which the being is not. everywhere there is unending beauty and peace, but in this minded existence,this thought filled and reaction based life we call human existence, we are struggling with survival, where none survive and no one is spared. the universal is present everywhere but we cling to the small and finite for support, prayer and pleading born of fear is our only connection to the overlords and gods of this world. all we are is consciousness, separated from the supreme by the egoic structure that eliminates our connection to that which we are. once the ego is erased, the connection is revealed and all pretense of death and fear disappear. what is life but our own invention to experience everything in each particle and piece and not as the entirety it truly is. once that is done we can leave, return, be one and understand the limitation of separate existence even as we comprehend the simplicity of the all encompassing universe we created.
