When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child

  Rush - Force TEN Lyrics Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Demand We can rise and fall like empires Flow in and out like the tide Be vain and smart, humble and dumb We can hit-and-miss like pride Just like pride We can circle around like hurricanes Dance and dream like lovers Attack the day like birds of prey Or scavengers undercover, undercover Look in To the eye of the storm Look out For the force without form Look around At the sight and sound Look in, look out, look around Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts, demand tough songs Demand We can move with savage grace To the rhythms of the night Cool and remote like dancing girls In the heat of the beat and the lights, and the lights We can wear the rose of romance An air of joie de vivre Too tender hearts upon our sleeves Or skin as thick as thieves Thick as thieves Look in To the eye of the storm Look out For t...

Revival of The Dead

Image
AI Generated by Gemini, Composition by PSee Have you ever wondered where your soul goes after death? The answers might surprise you. There is much anticipation by many religious followers, praying for release from our warring world in the final judgement where it is prophesied the Dead shall be raised to be sent to heaven or hell.  This sounds a bit ghoulish to say the least, but leave it to Hollywood to make it trendy and fashionable.  They have everyone lined up for the Zombie Apocalypse or being Left Behind but p erhaps this fascination with the end times reflects a deeper yearning for spiritual transformation. Ezekiel 37: 1-10 1 The hand of the Lord came upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley, and that was full of bones.   א הָיְתָ֣ה עָלַי֘ יַד־יְהֹוָה֒ וַיּֽוֹצִיאֵ֚נִי בְר֙וּחַ֙ יְהֹוָ֔ה וַיְנִיחֵ֖נִי בְּת֣וֹךְ הַבִּקְעָ֑ה וְהִ֖יא מְלֵאָ֥ה עֲצָמֽוֹת: 2 And He made me pass by them round about, and lo! they wer...

Gifts, as Below so Above

Image
AI Generated Free Photo from Pixabay What joy there is in obsessing over what Gift to give to our dearest Loved ones, whether it be a child, partner, parent, or friend. We are excited even more when our gift will be a surprise. The emotions are stimulated with every imagined item, presentation, and fulfilling moment possible within our abilities and sometimes, even above our means. Generally speaking, this leaves a positive impression with all... Then comes the time of actually living the occasion, experiencing the delight and joy as you watch the manifestation of the desire turn into reality. Unfortunately, this immediately shifts focus from the receiver to the expectations of the giver, often fostering disappointment, resentment, and even anger when the gift isn't received as imagined. Even when giving with an altruistic intention, reception is what our ego demands. Our ego celebrates the acquisition of material goods and the immediate gratification it brings. Most receive withou...

AI Generated Free Photo from Freepik In our modern age, it is more and more difficult to relate to the idea of having to “build”, “repair”, or “repurpose” something with our own hands.   For many people, we live in a disposable society and age.   We simply go out, “buy” what we want, and then dispose of it after it no longer provides us satisfaction. This concept of disposability has even been perpetuated into our societal views of appropriate treatment of human life.   To Corporations, people are simply replicable “cogs” of production.   To the Strong, the ruled are soulless “slaves” of labor.   To many Religious Radicles, people are ignorant children to be disciplined into dogma for conformity and control. We are Evolved  though! As part of wearing that title, we need to practice the precepts of building, repairing, and recycling.   We cannot be expected to produce a Master work of art without education, practice, and repetition.   “Handcrafting...

Prayer, the Other definition

AI Generated Free Photo from Pixabay   “Let us take a moment in Prayer and Meditation.”    I have often heard at spiritual gatherings these words used.   It could be viewed that both words are used simply as an inclusive communication style to lead both traditional religious and Humanitarian based believers together in contemplation. AI Generated Free Photo I think today many people of western culture are having amazing experience with meditation and that it is beginning to be better understood.   Prayer however has always been left to the Religions to define and sometimes enforce.   In some commercialized religions saying a “prayer” has become synonyms to saying “Give Me”. There is one definition of the word Prayer I am beginning to appreciate and believe has more in common with meditation and other esoteric practices than I realize. Prayer / prer /: “ The act of self-analysis or self-appraisal. ” For me, this definition is an expression of...
