Like a seed planted deeply in rich soil, kept frozen in time by endless sheets of ice, we have remained dormant, afraid to look into our own eyes, into the Shadow of our Soul. Constantly looking over our shoulder, we fear that the past is changing us, and always trying to catch us as we run.
But as the Fire cometh, and the ice begins to thaw, we stop to catch our Breath and realize that the Past has stopped with us, and that the seed, sensing that Perfect Moment, begins to sprout New Growth. Green sprouts begin to emerge from the center of our Heart. Up they go, through the Temple of our Soul, and into the Mind Center. Here, they stop. There is turmoil here. Unanswered questions. War. A refusal to let go of what we think to be ours. Sadness. Isolation. I think, therefore I am. Perpetual Identification with thought forms. The NeverEnding story.
So here, at the epicenter of all that is known, this New Growth encounters the Walled Fortress of Man. At first, it seems there is no hope. The gates are drawn and no path has been left for the passage of Nature and a more Universal Mind. But this Tree of Life, always reaching towards the Sun, has a mind of its own. Its time-worn intelligence finds gilmmers of light within this stronghold of Darkness and Fear. Vinelike structures find their way up and around the Great Steel Walls of the Fortress. Up they grow placating all that they touch.
As time passes, we emerge from our place of hiding, giving up on our endless quest to make rule over our surroundings and internalize all that we feel. Cautiously at first, but with ever-building confidence, we step out of the confinements or our self-made prison. As we open our eyes, we Witness the full splendor of what has become of our place of hiding and the world around us. Filled with life, we take our place in the world as its co-creators, and not as its end, but as a new beginning. We step out from the boundaries of our own reality, only to see the eternal truth of all that is. We emerge as Whole Beings, in Union with Life itself.Profile modified by: The CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor
