Dark Horse Poetry

Caught in our own trap

Few things in life are more impactful than a sudden realization. To suddenly get hit with clarity that rocks your whole world. Let’s face it, there is nothing that grabs your attention like a sudden change. We are wired for it. You could easily make the argument, it’s a survival response. How many times have you made a quick move and the quick move caused more harm than the perceived need to move could have? So what is the difference between a sudden realization and a sudden reaction. The difference is, one causes chaos and the other creates clarity.

What’s the difference between the meaning of cause and create? There is no difference in the fundamental structure. The difference lies in the source. A little more fun way of looking at it is, the “aha” moment versus the “oh, shit” moment. How about we throw one more phrase in that describes both. “Holy shit”. See if you can figure out which part of the phrase describes cause and which one describes create.

Pretty easy right. I mean, even an atheist would know that. So is this just word play, or are our words held to a higher standard than we think? Like a built-in system of security. A default mode to preserve the original program. Are you saying we are simply a program? No, most definitely not. We are infinite in capability, beyond any conceptual understanding. As I’ve previously stated. The ultimate Truth that we are can only be experienced not understood.

The default mode, if you will, is simply this. Our creative ability is infinite, with one exception. Not a bad deal right? Only one. Before I lay down the one law that we can not break. How about we build a little context for depth and clarity. But most of all, IMPACT!!! Wow that really upped the ante. Do you know the quickest way to get what you want? Not want it. Ah, the irony. This is what I want, this is what I want. This is what I want, and then forget about it. Life sucks, I don’t want it anymore. Poof! There it is.

Ok, now I have life figured out. All I need to do is, not want what I want and it will be mine. Five years later you have a new address under the eighth street bridge. Here is the the little detail that defines the whole thing. Let’s use the old saying; “Kill two birds with one stone”. Only instead of killing birds, we will kill misunderstandings. The misunderstanding lies in the fine print. Another example of, we can try to break the rules, but we tell on our selves every time. Or to put it more clearly. We are unable to create something that’s contrary to our core reality. Our true essence.

But, we sure can think and believe we did. There, in that one statement is our greatest lesson and saving “Grace”. Thinking and believing do not create, Reality. Thank God for that, or we would have doomed ourselves for All Eternity. Ouch, that’s a bit dramatic, don’t you think? I’ll let you decide once you have the facts. There can be no doubt in our ability to believe. Look how life can bounce you around like a ball. All based on our perceived belief. How often does this song play through out the day? The Truth is, the noisy mind, is the song. You tell me?

Based on that, we must assume, nearly everyone in the world is living in a world of belief, rather than Reality. What’s the the difference? The difference is belief represents a possibility you don’t have something, but you want it. So what is Reality. This little phrase needs some adjustment to be correct. To be correct in stating this, the statement must simply say; Reality… Why? The statement, what is Reality, is incorrect because, there is an implication of exclusion. When you say, what is reality, you are taking a position of being something that’s not reality and wanting to know what it is.

Why is this not clear to me? It’s not clear because of belief. Our belief that we can be something we are not. And what’s that? Our belief we separated ourselves from? What? Tell me, God damn it! And there you have it. What? The answer to the big mystery. Ok, I’ll bite. What big mystery? The big mystery of why in the world we feel so uncomfortable in our own skin. Oh God! Is this ever going to end. What’s that, the line of questioning, or the being uncomfortable in our own skin part. Now we are getting somewhere. Ok! where!. Home. I swear I will stop reading this right now if you don’t cut to the chase! You are safe and sound at Home, and believe you are not. Is this some kind of torture chamber of word play? No, This is Reality speaking to you directly and you are torturing yourself believing you have been outcast. From? From Reality. And what is this so called Reality? God… Are you out of your f_____g mind? Well, in a matter of speaking we all are because of belief.

Wait a minute, I thought belief is a good thing? Remember, believe you all ready have it and it shall be given. And now the root of the problem with belief. Belief is a powerful creative tool, that when combined with thought has unlimited potential to create. The trouble comes if your power of belief is mistakenly used for identity. Now, the bottom bottom line, the whole thing laid out for all the world to see. Black and white, irrefutable right down to the very foundation this world was built on. Born into this world has one rule. One law that can not be avoided. You must completely be innocent of any identity. Complete ignorance of the Truth. Why, for what reason? This might sting a bit. To allow you to believe you are something else.

You mean to tell me, this whole thing is just a trap and we willing do it anyway? I know right, pretty cool. Cool? Are you kidding me. We have been coming here to suffer, grow old and die? (And), and this is a very big and. By doing this we have a chance,(all be it a very small one) to discover and there by experience our Truth held against the tapestry of the opposite. A reduction so vast, (and here is the real kick in the pants) the discovery of our Truth lasts for all Eternity. Born in the ashes of hell, Heaven now shines as testament to a light burning so fierce, darkness can only know light.

The ultimate culprit of humanities struggle is contained in this one sentence. “The kiss of death”. It’s a spell over reality. Hidden by belief. Protected by survival. And carried on through ignorance. The spell is broken. All that remains is belief held in place by ignorance. And now that too is gone. Only time holds us in the dark. The dawn of time is now reached the dawn of a new day. Where Life is known and Love releases us from the road of tears. At last the Son has returned to warm and light our way to our true reality. Where Love and kindness are the currency of Life and the Kingdom of Heaven welcomes us home with a heart full of appreciation. May we value this experience of deaths kiss as a gift that gives us our greatest blessing. Our beautiful reality, realized in the depths of hell, fills the mind of knowing.

A knowing that has no description, yet now holds the light of awareness. Now is Eternity. Now is the entirety of Eternity, the unfolding of it, the capture of it, and Now the Awareness of it. What are we? Totality… What’s that? I don’t know, but we’re going to discover it together. A light that expands in discovery of itself, in itself, as itself. For all Eternity. And the clock strikes its last stroke and says, Welcome Home…
