The Mystic
I promise thee, my friends. The day I return my heart will glow with such brightness that even miles away men will ask ”tell me, is that not the sun?”

UNSPOKEN WORDS
WHEN I SEE YOU"...Here I lay as the sun touches my skin, I rise and open my eyes to see another day of my life. For when I see you, I see life as I'm given life by you, my God, for its because of you, God, that I can dream under the skies and stars. For when I see you, I know it is going to be alright, for you got my back even when I fall down.

A Life Time
What was the time when time began....
or is its duration an infinite span?
If there's no start and there's no end
then there's no middle, hard to comprehend.
When we are born we begin our endeavor,
but when we die we go on forever?
If there's a start, there must be an end...
life isn't eternal I try not to pretend.
What is my religion, in whom do I believe?
Merely institutions that use fear to deceive!
or is its duration an infinite span?
If there's no start and there's no end
then there's no middle, hard to comprehend.

life isn't eternal I try not to pretend.

Religion is...
only as important
as you want to make it
... it's your life...
it is one more way to relinquish .
... control...
have you ever noticed
how they like to threaten…
...Your Immortal Soul...
they'll try to convince you
...to cede your power away
...to them...
...but not to worry...
they'll tell you what to say...
there will be no decision making for you
there will be no proof offered...
...and none will be forthcoming
there will be no explanation proffered...

Musings on Mysticism I.
In the beginning
Or in the be ginning
The trapping of being in time
Mixing space and matter
Ether with earth - the silence of darkness
The merkava hovers, vibrations begin
And fire and water - the word of vibration made light
Opposites attract
Vibrations divide

"It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth"

Morning Star
Morning air envelops me
With the promise of a new day
The North star still twinkling
I kneel and humbly say
Thank you God for this day
And all others I may receive
I come to you and humbly pray
Your gifts I will receive
The gift of my children who
I will hold again today
The blessing and wonders through
The promises that were made
I am not the religious kind
No alter do I adorn
I simply know that I find
Every day a miracle is born
With the promise of a new day
The North star still twinkling
I kneel and humbly say
Thank you God for this day
And all others I may receive
I come to you and humbly pray
Your gifts I will receive
The gift of my children who
I will hold again today
The blessing and wonders through
The promises that were made
I am not the religious kind
No alter do I adorn
I simply know that I find
Every day a miracle is born

Thinkings
Through the door of ridicule will be salvation, it will ground you in a freedom from giving a fuck what others think or say about you.
Other's anger is your gateway to peace of mind, the vajra ground of patience.
If the success of your fellow man fills you with jealousy you can wash yourself clean with the pure waters of rejoicing in others' good fortune.
Few can see these minds in themselves. Open are your eyes if you see yourself. Know oneself.
The path of the sage is a solitary one. Do not cling to others, but love them with all your heart. ...

Peace with myself
I felt a shiver earlier today
Lately those shivers have been around me, always
Not always in the night, have I felt the touch on me
Who is watching and who's not letting me be?
Here in this moment, I'm here by myself
I'm gonna cry with no one else near
This is so constant, I need to hide from thee
It's always a moment, when I'm here by myself
I'm always touching you, you’ve got nerves of steel
Get up, my scared little girl, yell out, but please don't scream
And stop...

Succubus
Her tangled frown and her spindling fingers slowly running down her lips, red and flowing as a river, does she invoke fear? With her long and mangled hunched over body. Her eyes they focus solemnly as a steady, cold dead body. The ground beneath her feet rot and decay as she steps forth, her march to spread unavoidable death and decompose the human stench. In life she was a temptress, now she's satan's tempest. A succubus waiting to prey on an honest man's death. Consuming his soul and discarding his flesh. The temple of God that once was her body, that He built in His image, now torn down...

Sudden Destruction
WHEN RUSSIA ATTACKS AMERICA, THAT IS THE "SUDDEN DESTRUCTION" THAT OCCURS AT THE RAPTURE
We read that the Rapture occurs at a time of "sudden destruction" (1 Thessalonians 4.17-5.3).
That view is confirmed by 2 Thessalonians 2.3 which says, "the Rapture cannot come except the Man of Sin be revealed, the SON OF DESTRUCTION."
To paraphrase it, "the Rapture occurs at the time of the revealing of the SON OF DESTRUCTION."
But Son of Destruction means THE DESTROYER.
So a better paraphrase is: "the Rapture occurs when the Destroyer gets revealed."
Revealed by what?? ...

Never trust something you like right off
Watch for their stoplight, it's messing your head
Swivel such timeline, blind dwell a turned future
Put out the heartlight, consecrate blood run red
Healing an old mind, the present sewing suture,
-
Walks a tightrope, sleeps soul acquiesce unseat
All three doors open, before you wander inside
Acceded downbeats, that groove is a wack beat
The sorcery wordplay, solely meant to give ride.
Swivel such timeline, blind dwell a turned future
