I wasn't sure what form to list on this, but I woke up this morning thinking about questions and answers, and this is what came to me during the hour of meditation.

My opinion, something to think about.  Bill

How can we tell if we encounter an enlightened person? When in their presence we’ll seem as one. It’s the same as finding one’s highest self, our soul within. In reaching such a level of awareness, we align ourselves with the will of God. We can ask questions in the Spirit and know the answers without speaking. We will realize that at this level of consciousness words are not necessary. Being one in the Spirit, means being in the presence of all the answers. We merely think the question and the answer is the only match. We are given free will by our Creator, or God, what we become aware of is our choice. We are limited only by the choices we make. The eternal, intelligent, creative energy that has created all that is, waiting for each of us to open our hearts and minds to all that was intended for us to be aware of. The mysteries of the universe await a submissive heart, a willingness to acknowledge the omnipotent, omnipresent God and Creator and a willingness to believe that which is revealed to us. We will not receive the wisdom until God knows we will use it as it is intended.

Good write! One day our consciousness will unite with the greater consciousness, only God is omniscient. Keep in touch, let's not let NM., and AZ. come between. Robert

This was enough to be a wonderful stand alone poem "The eternal, intelligent, creative energy that has created all that is, waiting for each of us to open our hearts and minds to all that was intended for us to be aware of." Philosophically and spiritually sound!

Love the summary conclusion. My sad experience is people get on that enlightened road, then motives get twisted, the fall off the Road ( hope they land in a bridge?) Shalom shalom coach Bill

Thank you for your insights, Anil. It is true, we can have glimpses to see if we are ready, stray and it the answer is no, not ready. Your friend, Bill

I do believe this "We will not receive the wisdom until God knows we will use it as it is intended. " - terrific end line of a marvelous poem.

I envy you, my friend. You wake up on such a spiritual high. I wake up, groan in pain, turn over, and back to sleep again! ~ Up, but not at 'em!

Thanks, Mark. Sometimes just thinking out loud and getting input to consider. Have a great day my friend. Bill

Bill, you've composed an outstanding verse that delivers fuel for musing. And make us aware of how trivial bide our species. We grasp all of the thoughts, insight, and facts that exist when gazing around the stars, planets and galaxies that surround us. After all, beings are designed to glorify God. In such a large cosmos, we may endure the sole life. We remain the most fortunate individuals to have discovered that this universe allows a creator who deserves our admiration and appreciation.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Sotto. You are a wise man and a good friend. Have a great day! Bill

Yes Bill, i am what your title suggests, when reading this, and respect when you move towards religious reasoning. Maybe i tend go down another road, when what you have here 'Free will' and straight away i feel for those many millions of folk without, that are forced to live in countries with despots and tyrants. Great write, love when words from you other poets like yourself give me food for thought. Thank you Bill have a nice day.
