Doors to experience
for lovers
for the brave
and those who seek
they were at the edge of longing
but almost not possible
not to the holders of outward science
braggart story
knowledge borrower
or the discussant
or merely shouting the name.
*
We have the freedom
to not to believe
that something extraneous
unidentified supreme is around us
even a very strange and
certainly impossible
given that nearest in us
for illusion said
we even in exile
whether for a moment
or a lifetime.

Awesome post! The illustration goes really well with the poem!
Thank you so much, Ellie. Glad you appreciate it
For some, being in exile even for a moment seems like a lifetime…
Some of them who feels like it has behaved and taken some different ways; escaping from “reality”, suicide, waiting patiently, or seeking a way out of it.
Any attempt to escape from reality could be viewed as a death wish…
That is indisputable. Even deepening spirituality is learn to die before death comes.
Are you speaking of the ego death, or something else?
Yes it is and another lower awareness
The process of evolution is irrevocably a process of elimination; death cannot be removed from this equation…
Physical death is absolute, undeniable.
Even if it weren’t, it would lead to stagnation which could ultimately cause a species-wide extinction
I believe in miracles, now just waiting for it to happen. It will! Great post!
Believe in miracles is great! You will soon see it in many things around you.
Interesting post. Indeed we do have freedom to believe or not.
Yes, Pamela, it is entirely in our hands, to believe it or not, to feel in exile or not, to learn something or not.
Yes I agree with you.
Thank you very much, Pamela.
