We Are The Gods We Have Worshipped

Here's a poem I wrote today about the future of humanity and the journey of each of us to discover our own divine nature... :)

We Are The Gods We Have Worshipped

"In our dreams,

We live as Gods do;

We shape the world to our liking, 

And create not just places but their faces too.

Thus, in our science, 

We do just the same;

We follow those dreams to create,

And believe that those dreams we can tame.

For in our hearts, 

We hear destiny's call;

We know that we will become bigger,

And understand that the Earth will become too small.

So, in our future,

We will blast lightyears beyond Mars;

We can already see we're becoming more conscious,

And how that itself will take us to the stars.

Then...like a star born from other stars,

that will one day explode outward too,

So will we travel the cosmos, 

And seed it with life, as Gods do.

For the universe is filled,

with the the stuff of creation,

And being made from that stuff too,
Means we're also meant to create from the big bang's cremation.

So our dreams are not trivial, 

They are the sayers of sooth;

We need only to listen,

For us to realize our own divinity's truth.

We are the Gods we have worshipped,

As the universe is made from one mind;

So all this time we've been searching,

It's been us that we've been looking to find."

The Point Of Life

Nothing else matters except that...you...are...here! :)

 

 

"The one thing about life that you can always find to be consistent is that it will always surprise you. You might not be able to see now how the future might be any better, but it always has some tricks up it's sleeve that make us look back at those low times and laugh at the fact that we were ever feeling low to begin with. A lot of my own low times were spent dwelling on all the things that I wanted to do with my life, but didn't make happen. I usued to torture myself for years that I didn't have those things because they were what I thought I wanted, but now I have a bigger perspective on life and I look at all the people who have accomplished what I thought I wanted and can see how their lives are actually no better or more important than mine, as those dreams or ideas of career are not the whole point of life. The point of life is just simply to recognize the fact that you're here right now and the beauty of life is that rain or shine doesn't matter. All of the people who have gone before us had their "go" at life, but their experience is done now, so what matters is that we are still here and that, because we are still here, we are the ones who still have the chance to make our lives into whatever we want ourselves to be...

I Had A Dream...

I had a really vividly profound dream the other night that I was Martin Luther King Jr. and that I was giving my first speech ever in a small night club that had an open mic for poets and musicians. The club was strictly for those of color and the MC who introduced me enthusiastically was a black woman who had no idea who I was or what I was about to say. I was planning to speak out about all of the inequality that I had seen in the world and about the ignorance and prejudice out there and the lack of rights that we had as individuals with dark skin. I knew how taboo that this was at that time and I could feel the deep fear of what I was about to do before I went up on stage.

Once on stage, I meditated to myself for a moment in silence and then began to speak out fervently from the depths of my heart. As I did this, I began to feel more and more deeply how truly important that speaking about this was. I could feel the burning passion that I had inside for spreading this message of love and equality for all beings on Earth and, as I continued to speak, I looked out and saw the woman who had introduced me. For a moment, I could see the fear that she had in her eyes of the potential consequences of allowing me to continue speaking in this manner and I could tell that part of her wanted to take me off stage. I understood this fear deeply, but I was driven to keep speaking anyway. After another few minutes, I could sense that she had begun to understand, as I had, the crucial nature of this message, as she sat down to listen. Slowly, I felt the hearts of everyone else there as well begin to embrace a sense of unity with one another as they began to acknowledge themselves as the beautiful human beings that they were who had just as much right to live and breathe and love and be free as any other beings had on this planet. As I saw the sheer beauty and intensity of this incredible, pivotal, moment unfolding before me, it brought tears to my eyes.

The next morning, when I awoke, I was completely awestruck and felt indescribably privileged to have had such a dream and to have been able to feel like I had been there to witness a be a part of such a beautiful and defining moment for humanity. I know that it was just a dream, but it was so deep and meaningful that I can't help but feel that to have experienced it was, perhaps, one of the single greatest and most beautiful sensations of my life...
