Independent Gods

“I fight the good battle!” I thought: But a warrior whether Christ’s or the Devil’s, or Self is still “A blade held high” demon of sorts, though the conscious motive May be of highest righteousness-- the transformation of darkness into light. The demon (our second-hand creation) (manipulating matter but not the originators), a recycling of lesser egos claiming the Formative Light our own though pure and complete before our jealous acquisition-- Divine relationship denied (the arrogance of man), agnosia perpetuated-- our insufferable debate over that tender-less chicken or her overcooked egg; And oh--the science! We squeeze even our genitals into a singularity (the academics juiced answer to all) when denying the enriching trickles-- the crushed, the spirit-runny, our essence, the immortal soul, with each bathwater tossed. When, in our power to create truly as The Omnipotence: from nothingness; out of canvas yet uncut from the fabric of time-- not with warrior knife nor artist brush but by faith alone-- by love and grace… Grace that has kept man alive prepared to some day make of sleeping, self-possessed children fully awakened independent Gods.

Indeed agnosia perpetuated, the arrogance of man. Such intent behind each word carefully chosen to drive your message home. Solidly written with muscular intelligence.
