Fire of the One

 Spirit evolves

What is cold bursts into flame

The Universe on fire

Burning in a Phoenix fire

The One awakens

Undivided

Unbroken

Standing 

Light

An all consuming fire emitting a point of Light

An inferno and a pool of Warmth

Death and Life

Destruction and Creation

Anhialation, Birth

Coming from One place

One wave of Stillness

Deep into the Light

On a Petal of Bliss

The chains of our fear melt in the agony of Goodness

We return to the Beginning on a wave of Light

Our minds Torn, obliterated 

We are reduced to ashes 

And from ashes Light

This melting Light

Destroy the death of my dream

I come from incomparable Beauty

A Fire of Light

Destroying the perceptions of Mind,

Paper figures incinerated in the full Summer Sunlight

We come from Poetry 

Radical acts of passion

Stirred by Beauty itself

Give nature form

Death in your visage

Death in your pulse

Death in what you promise

Dying as light fades and I remember the song of my childhood. 

I have forgotten how light carves the world by the whims of its Radical Heart, scarring memory and experience into being. The passion of my Wild Heart fits into the grooves of time. The tunnels of the Wilderness reaching into Past and Future

Within, the purest fire of the purest flame, born of the selfless passion of the soul

Creating all lines of life, all movements, all twists and turns, all changes, the limitless passion of the soul, the infinite feeling of God, descending into all things, informing the whole Universe

The choices we make are of God's passion, not our own

The passion of His own thought and feelings, an openness leading to the finality of solidity, a solidity and drama supported always by this Openness. 

When we give up attachment to our personal passions, we allow for the natural passion of the Universe to unfold in our lives, and can experience the passion of existence without fear of loss and without the overwhelming pain of attachment

Only through complete detachment can we give up personal attachment. Detachment allows us to accept the limitations of our mortal consciousness, to allow it to be regardless of its non reality 

In this acceptance our perspective expands and we become less attached. 

The best we can do is to allow the drama of our lives to unfold with complete detachment and complete acceptance. Here we are freed to act with the greatest skill and with the most wisdom. 

Wisdom lies within the moment, it comes from presence which is awareness of how things are. Wisdom comes from not being compromised by our feelings, from being present, and being awake

It primarily comes from not being dominated by fear or foolishness, which blind our Reason and sense of being. What is, is the impersonal being completely personal, completely formed. 

To be wise we have to be comfortable being completely impersonal and completely personal, without attachment to or dependence on either, recognizing that the structure of the transient world intimately depends upon the impersonal light completely beyond it. We must see that these two are One, the form and the openness behind it. That this Oneness is all things

They are not separate and cannot be separated from each other. All things are One. This is the Truth. 

Wisdom is where you are, not anywhere else. It is seeing what is, not what may or can be. 

It is recognizing that the Present is all that is. There is nothing else, no where else 

That this moment is a Good moment simply because it is and we are. We can have peace simply by recognizing this, that we are, that this is. Peace and strength and security in ourself. 

This means not giving into darkness, not giving into fear, or doubt, or lust or desire. Remaining present within ourself, unswayed by the turning of the world. 

True compassion is selfless, beyond human sentiment, beyond pity, giving simply because there is a need, not because of a common since of shared humanity.

From seeing the same Life within another being, the same Life that is ours. Not of a common mortality, but of a Single Immortality, a single undying Flame. Truly seeing that that is us and that has needs as we do. 

Wisdom means singleness of mind and purpose. 

With Wisdom we can find strength and utility in all things, strength in all places. In this strength capability in all circumstance because possibility arises out of our being.  Because Goodness is the most natural state of being. And all is truly Good and Holy.
