Costume of Lies

What one deeply thinks, feels is published to the Universe; the mind, a viewing screen... and heart, it's amplifier – the current, that of a soul longing, seeking its path of return; the outer-world, a distorted reflection of our spirit-nature; the Inner-divine, our only truth of conscious being...yet, we continue to don a sleeping Costume of Lies –

wow is this one for the Matrix contest by chance? It kind of puts me in my mind of that type of thing, so much of fakeness and not being true to oneself.

I'm not familiar with that contest. I will look. Thank you, Andrea; to be truthful is an ongoing quest~ I consider myself part of the mix of seekers. No worse nor better than most.

Interesting philosophical poetry.. You always make me think and are so wise.... the thing with the costume of lies is that some of us know it is lies, but some do not and some are so much more creative with their lies than others..

:))Ain't that the truth! Our creativity is one of the reasons why we persist with our lies, enamored of our own power, displacing truth. Thank you, Si; your encouragement means a lot to me. Blessings!
