No Peace I Find

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
Albert EinsteinUS (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

Beyond Existentialism

Words are just loud thoughts. Thoughts require thinking. Thinking promotes reason. Reason is an attempt to justify our existence, of which there is no justified reason. Reason is subjective supposition, arbitrary and flawed. It is related to the constant of change, evolution and the trickery of thought.

The true essence or enity that I am needs no rationalization. If I am, only because I think I am, then to try and rationalize the reason that I am becomes unreasonable. So, I adopt a philosophy, usually based on what others have told or educated me, in an attempt to placate the fear and angst of not knowing who I am or what I am doing here. I may just be or I may adopt some cause or REASON to justify my existence and to cover the emotions of anxiety, dread, death and meaninglessness.

The true me, the I am, is not of this world. This is not its true home. The minds dishonest quest to convince it of such only confuses reality. We are told something is a "word", we believe it. This becomes part of our belief system. It is only a belief and is subject to change or re-definition. I am a doctor, lawyer, artist. These are "what I do", not who I am! I am a Catholic, Jew, Muslim.
These are only belief systems, not who you are!

If I "think" I am, then I doubt that I am. My true idenity needs no thought (justification). It is or it is not but it cannot "not be" We will BE whether we want to or not. I am in spite of my thoughts. My choice is to think or not and/or react. This is the absurd folly of this existence. We create reason when there is none. We play this "life game" on several levels with such serious intent but in the end, here, we may become someones thought or a number/name written down.
We laugh, we cry ,we kill ,we lie. We hear, we speak, we touch, we taste. We sense that we are only visitors, actors upon a stage, playing our parts and waiting for the "final curtain". Cannot we be, content to be?

Be Known

With whom cannot I waste the day alone,
Among these birds and beasts of whom I rule
A grander home, I sooner left, be known.

But here, not there, my soul desires to live.
As human thoughts of past are stored in vaults,
To hide what one has done, a gift to give.

For not alone, we wander thru this plane.
Joined in strength together with friend and mate,
We form a journey's union and not in vain.

Angels rejoice as spirit forms a bond.
Michael, Uriel, Jibrael, all go forth,
Their watch is kept, times seven and beyond.

We're born into a world, not of our own.
To seek and toil and wonder why we're here.
But fear and doubt are seeds, rebellion-sown.

For spirit knows it knows, there are no no's!
Designed to lead us thru the foulest air,
Then gird us strong with faith that grows and grows.

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious." Einstein

Petition

Astral eyes look to see thee , Athena,
As oracles utter their prophecies
And infinite becomes finite, again.

Reveal all Divine essences,
Deliver atonements to the muses,
As minds liberate in conscious ecstasy.

O, humble children be blessed and simple.
As hearts nourish with peace and joy,
Holy Spirit comfort with tender mercies.

Compassion and love are freely given.
Hear the musica humana,
Open to the beautiful mysterious.

The creative power of wisdom and art,
Opens our awareness of trascendence
And lets hearts beat to the rhythm of love.

Aethers

Before me then, my now has past,
I bear the barbs with scars that last.
Before my name, before this role
before the Spirit blessed my soul.

You taught me well, that I may learn,
what I can see and so confirm,
that you and I, aren't here for long
to beat our drum or sing our song.

Let's dance to whispers, of loving thoughts
and transcend pathways, our souls have sought.
search every star, breathe in the light,
release ourselves like angel's flight.

The truth, our friend and Love, our guide,
Within our souls, nothing can hide.

B4

I was before; will always be
In essence true, existant me
From where winds blow, until I see.

Where it may start, to ending where?
As conscienceness can take me there
But here I am with time to share.

I am here, maybe to believe,
My temporary home, why should I grieve?
But watch my thoughts, they can deceive.

As our beliefs are mindful thought
Some weaken in dependence sought
And miss the Truth Divinely taught.

Maybe, knows nothing but fear
But Love, says, yes, I'm always here.
Be sure to know, what is, sincere.

Metaexis

Exactly, this is why I think.
I think I'm here or maybe there.
I think a thought that comes from where?
Exactly sure what word I thought
A reason, this or that be sought
And why I chose is so absurd
For it could change, as does a word.
So, in attempt to create reason,
To justify, knowing the season, I
Therefore give my ego raison'd etre
And think my choice must be right, etc.
The outer me is an identity
Which can cause the loss of serenity.
But I am responsible, the choice I make
So, I go within, for heaven's sake.
