sleep heals my body but starves my soul
isolation
is more petrifying than pain
i used to think pain topped the list
of what humans feared
but we will endure a dizzying amount of suffering
to remain connected
the irony of this
is that we fear death because we believe it will separate us from others
and we embrace sin
because we are confused
deliberately blinded
as to its meaning
the phrase "sin will separate us from God"
is the heaviest truth
in an existential layer where we are only weighed down
by our inability to think outside the grid
sin is being and doing what God isn't and wouldn't
our connection to the life source of the universe
is impacted by how closely we pattern match to it
when we alter our energetic configuration to create an incompatible energy signature
the basic laws of physics dictate that there will be fission instead of fusion
everything that falls under the category of "sin"
is an action that isolates and separates
that harms the genuine connection between spirits
that sows distrust and distance and fear
if God is love, and love is the greatest connective force we know
then sin is what happens when love is absent from human interaction
we are made in the pattern of God
to operate in a synergistic manner with other energy configurations
to pattern match to the one meaningful pattern
isolated people weaken and corrode
the ultimate fear is total isolation
darkness
being cut off from the source of all connection
being consumed by our own eternally burning existential energy
because we are separated from any way to ground out and release it
no earth underneath our bare feet
no water to ease it out
no light to inititate the synthesis
no animals to soothe our frantic restlessness
no people to exchange photons with and create a sense of balance
no God to provide a gravitional pull that we orbit around as integral components of a purposeful existence
what could be more painful than to be contained in perpetual isolation and never be able to burn out?
to be continuously fueled by our own existential energy source
but separated from every possibility to use it for the purpose it was designed
and what could be more beautiful
than to never feel a sense of rejection, unwantedness, unimportance or loneliness?
to know our place in the universe
and to vibrate with endless joy and music and purpose and belonging
what we do in these moments
where we are briefly caught in time and space
affect everything
because we have the ability to change our own patterns
and to alter our energetic configurations
it isn't as if we die and then we become spirits
we are spirits now
eternity doesn't start when we die
it's already who we are now
we are making eternal decisions RIGHT NOW
because there isn't actually a now that is separate in reality
our words and actions create
we have been given spirits of power
we are mightier than angels
we are made in his image
we shape ourselves with our decisions
and if we do not choose with wisdom and understanding
then we will grow away from truth
from the configuration of love and meaning and intentional inclusion
that God is
and God creates
with his decisions to be who he is
and to not be these other things
that he will not accept in his sphere
to live is to maintain a state without fundamental change
death is a change of our core expression of self
we still exist, but we are unrecognizable when compared to our previous energetic manifestion
like we do not wish to be poisoned so that we can live, or maintain our current state
God does not wish to take in anything that will change the essence of who he is
and has constructed an entire world on principles that illustrate the purity of connection between intentional beings that seek love instead of harm
there can be no darkness where there is light
there can be no love with fear
no trust where there is deceit
no joy without meaning
the only part of this that doesn't make sense to me
is once we see
how is it possible to look away?
i am with paul as he laments
"who will save me from this body of death?"
i resent the complexity of managing a multifaceted existence
where my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak
and forcing me to sleep
nothing interesting better happen while i'm on the charger!
grace out





But seriously, I like this post.
Why is it so hard to think like this? I suppose because we can't perceive the spiritual with our eyes.
I love the phrase "exchange photons". It implies a physical connection by people who are in each others' presence yet not touching in the literal sense.
And why can't you buy our washer & dryer?
