Dear Great Spirit you are known by many names, God Almighty, The Source, Creator, Wakan Tankan, The Almighty, you may not have any physical form, but you are known by your creation and your hand extends to all.
I feel you and I feel your love, I cannot adequately express how I feel, I feel a sort of magic quiet presence, it feels as though my physical heart is expanding and that energy feels like compassion, love, I strive and feel anguish that I am limited in my duty to spread this, to share this, to uplift others as I feel in the moments I feel this and other times.
Great One help me to navigate a changing world I do not fully understand, new expressions, new idioms like, eugenics, transhumanism, cyborgism, technocrocy, GMO tinkering, chemical meat and one hundred and forty nine ways of describing and ascribing one's sexual identity.
Perhaps Great One I am a dinosaur, an old world gone by and afraid of change and yet I am haunted that this is not quiet right an out of alignment, a skewed view and perpetuated by human avarice, greed and lust.
If I get entangled in this world of the human bodily senses and dwell on this scenario I become tired, fatigued, angry, distorted and confused, something deep down is whispering and I can catch the words not in human speak but in a feeling that is ancient and rooted in silence and peace.
So I am being drawn into the silence and in no thought and yet the other strangeness seems to spontaneously attack and the words of Jesus come to mind 'New International Version
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into'. Buddha Quotes
- “Quiet the mind and the soul will speak.”
- “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”
- “Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.”
- “You don’t have a Soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”
- “If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.”
- “All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction.”
- “Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”
- “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
- “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”
- “Purity or impurity depends on oneself, no one can purify another.
Of course every religion, faith and cult have their sayings and proverbs. So Great Spirit help me to help myself, I am weak and frail and I only feel uplifted when I sit in the silence or feel spontaneously at times the Presence of the Unseen Spirit.
I am turning from this outer scenario of human arrogant will to the Inner world of Spirit and real sustenance.
