Unfinished thoughts on the self-distruction inherent in the current situation
As I stand at the gates of reason, I look about me. Scattered around are the broken souls of those who did not see the god in all of us. This made me very sad, but they will learn again. Everything is everlasting yet fragile and singular in its divinity. Everything will eventually be distroyed under it's own pretenses. This makes perfect sense to me.
Gravity brings down tall buildings and perky breasts. Time and wind and water ruins stone bridges. Evolution ruins those who don't learn to work with their surroundings. It is this last we must fight against and be aware of all at the same time. In order to avoid annihalation as a product of our own self-induced folly, we must learn to cherish and protect that which supports us, whether it be house or tree or fellow man.
The god in all of us
I stood at my window this evening and was gifted a beautiful sight. As I glanced out of my window I took in the evening sky, which was an unusual shade of pink the reasoning for which I could not fathom. The trees in the yard were pink, the city around me was pink, the cars parked below were pink. I raised the shades and turned off all the lights. I held up my hand. It, too, was pink. I beheld an energy in everything and I felt the god in all of us.
It made me smile. The smile, too, was a part of the energy.
The source of energy is one and all things. We will forever be a part of god and it is a part of us. We are a part of the energy and the energy is one of us. I am god, he is god, she is god, you are god. We are one and one is many. Thou art god.
Everything is god. God is not one man, it is not one thing. It is within all of us, although some do not know it. However, even if it is an unknown, no one place takes the place of god in our minds. God is around us, in the food we consume and the air we breathe. The energies flow and ebb and move in relation to our actions. As does god. God is the energy in everything. The energy is the god in all of us.
To call one thing god is to call a rose by any other name. A rose is god, too.
When we touch someone else, we move their energies and they move ours. When the energy flows, some of it is exchanged. These exchanges of the god in all of us move the balance wherever it is most deserved. The balance must not be disturbed, or else god is unbalanced. When one’s personal energies are unbalanced, one looses touch with the god in all of us.
Many faces
I was driving along in my car and I stopped at a red light. The light would not change and I became bored and began examining my flanking drivers with mild interest. The woman to my right was talking on a cell phone. A police car drove past and she dropped the phone to her lap. I turned to the man on my left. He was yelling and waving his arms around at his son, who began crying. The man immediately stopped and was silent.
The light turned green and the man turned left and the woman turned right and more movement went on in the world.
We, as Humans, do not understand our selves. We can never understand ourselves, just as we will never understand the energies. The energies move in all of us, but sometimes they become unbalanced. The sensitive can feel this, and when the mask is lifted one’s personal energies become righted. The mask keeps things unbalanced. They hold back the darkness and do not allow the light of the energies into one’s soul. One’s soul must be cleansed and full of the god before the mask can be fully pulled away.
This mask exists on all of us. It hides our darkest secrets or the fact we skipped the gym today. It is still an unbalance. An unbalance must be attended to. Any unrightness in the energies is an unbalance on the soul. The soul is the energies and the soul is the god.
The god and the energies and the soul must never wear a mask, and any attempt to will inevitably fall short.
The source of forever
The beginning was silent. And then there was the energy. The energy became something else. The energy then became something else. The something else became something else. Eventually, something else became man. Man is made of the energy. The god in him tells him this. The god in him becomes something else as time passes. But it is still the god in all of us.
We were here from the beginning and we shall be here to the end. We came from something less then ourselves and we shall become something greater if we apply the learned understanding of the energies to the knowledge of being Human.
On being human
I broke my spine once. I cried like a child. My energies were dark and I was upset. I calmed and they became light again.
Calmness is a Face of being human.
To be Human is to act and have thought and to do what feels right and what does not hurt others. To be calm in madness is to hold one’s balance of the energies. The energies make the balance and we make the energies and the god in all of us knows this. The Human part of us, the ruling part of us, is what moves our energies around. Everything moves the god in all of us. Love makes the god in all of us happy and sad, terribly angry or blissfully peaceful. We must at all costs strive for love, for love causes mostly calm and peace. The anger, too, is a part of being Human, but to be angry is to upset the god in all of us. Anger upsets the balance of being Human. We must not allow this.
To balance the energies
I helped an old man carry his groceries to his apartment door today. He didn’t ask me to. He seemed surprised when I offered to help.
I helped his energy and my own by creating something bigger then myself. To add to this energy is to add to the world. To add to the world is the reason we are here. We are here to make better, and to make better is the point of being Human. We are Human. Let us not forget about Humanity and the connection to the energy.
Allow others to feel how you would like to feel all the time. Let these strangers feel your energies and be surprised by their kindness. Always share this kindness, for it too is a part of the god in all of us. Do not wear the mask that is so tempting. Allow this god to see what others feel. Allow your energies to mingle with others as you hold a door open, give a cigarette to a homeless person, make cookies for an event, bring a bottle of nice wine to a party unasked.
Altruism will save the wrongness of this world because it encourages the unasked mingling of one’s own energies with others.
An ancient phrase is, “Do unto others as you would do unto yourself.”
We should all live eternally in this phrase because to have unbalanced energies will come around the spectrum and make you feel the badness you once ignored.
The ignored badness has once been called Karma, but it is easy to think of it as a Mobius strip. One sided and eternally changing and moving fluidly, it shows us that everything comes around to the starting point, no matter how illogical it seems.
The energies will always know, as will the god in all of us.
The changing of states
I once ate so much pecan pie that I was forced to lie on the couch for an hour. I once drank so much alcohol that I passed out on the floor for three hours. I once smoked so many cigarettes that my throat hurt for a day and I coughed until my stomach hurt. I once partook of so much marijuana that I sat in the corner and stared at my hands for an unknown amount of time. I thought I was god. I was right. I also thought you were god. I was right. But on all occasions the next morning I woke up feeling disjointed and as if my energies were out of balance. Simply put, they were.
Temperance in all things, weather or not it be a drug or a drink or a meal. In all things, understanding must come with time. Temperance is the exercise of learned understanding of Human nature and the paths on which the energies flow.
No one but yourself has the right to deny one a Human pleasure, weather drug or drink or meal. But no one but yourself has the ability to partake of the Human rituals of sharing a drink or a drug or a meal and to not unbalance one’s self. To get drunk is an acceptable Human thing to do. As is smoke cigarettes until you cough green. Ones’ own body is ones’ own temple and we may worship how we please, but always remember temperance in all things Human.
We must be balanced in energy, god, and Human. One must find ones’ own niche for Human pleasures and one must enjoy it and use it to make ones’ self greater. Ones’ energies must flow and mix when one is being particularly Human.
We must feel good for our energies to be in balance. We must have balanced energies if we are to be happy. We should do what we are born to do, and we must do it well.
To truely become Human
My companion and I sleep well together. There is much rejoicing. The mixings of energy fill us and make us calm and peaceful. This is the reason we mix the energies in this way.
In all ways must we mix energies and feel good. The art of making love well does this. It must have meaning, however, for behind all meaning is the movement of energies. The more energy is being moved, the more strongly we feel the god in us all.
Man and woman are the god in all of us. The energies move strongly and make pleasurable feelings at each other. They want to mingle, these male and female energies, and we must humor them because the mingling of energies is what makes us Human.
The humanities and the energies are synonymous. As is the god in all of us. We are one and the same and all and nothing. To understand the minglings of the energies and the words of the god in all of us, we must blend our lives with others. Others will always be a part of being Human because we derive energy from others. And the god in all of speaks to these others. They know, as we know.
To blend our lives with others in this blissful way is to truely embrace Humanity and take it upon yourself to truely be Human. The art of procreation is the base of Human energy. We create the new energies inside of ourselves. For a while, the god in all of us is doubled with the quickening of life, for this new life will also have the energy.
This is the goal of the energy. Balance in the world.
If one dabbles in the mingling of energies in this way, one must do it carefully. It must have meaning, for there is meaning in all life.
To listen to the energies and to hear the god in all of us
When I go to sleep and I am unbalanced, I do not sleep well. I develop headaches and my life becomes, to paraphrase, a mess. Things do not feel right, and I must stop it all and slow down for a few hours and sit in a quiet place and think about why I am not balanced.
To prevent this from happening all the time, at the end of every day I sit down and think about my energies. I consider if the god in me is happy and if it is not I listen calmly for the reason why. I feel the balance of the energy and I listen to their whispers, and they tell me softly weather or not they are equal. If they are not, I think softly and listen for the reason why.
It is easy to talk to these energies. All one must do is become silent. This is meditation. Meditation is opening one’s self to listen to what the energies have to say. The god in us all speaks quietly and one must concentrate and be in tune to hear him.
The god in all of us is in tune with us and we must be in tune with it. The energies must be balanced, and we must be the one to keep them balanced.
The ghosts in the machine
I once had a job that I hated. I was a cog in a huge machine, and my voice went unnoticed. I came home unbalanced and sad. I thought too much about how this job was eating away at me. I was forced to turn to crutches just to maintain my balance. I smoked much marijuana, too much. It sent me into a flat-line sort of state, where my mind did not think at all while I was in those walls. My job ate parts of my soul and tried to eat some of my energy.
I quit the job and decided to do something that would really benefit my existence.
I started a garden. I bought less food because I grew it myself. I spent time out there every day and balanced my energies.
I built a house. I used this building time to balance my energies and move the god in all of us into this house. When it was finished, I stood back and looked at this thing that I had created with my own two hands. I was happy and peaceful. I was calm and my energies were in balance. The god in me was happy.
I moved into the country and used my energies to make my own world a better place. I cooked dinner for friends and raised goats for milk and meat. They gave their lives because others needed it. I layer scattered the bones in the compost pit and longer after that I spread the compost beneath a rose bush. The roses grew full and brilliant. I gave one to my companion and they smiled. The smile was worth all the wait.
