like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth that came to me giving only the morsels that manage to slide through my self-imposed filter to myself and to others that so desperately need a deeper awareness surely the unfiltered surge of the power of a great truth would be beyond my mental capacity if not insulated by the Creator of all intelligence only then could such truth pass through me to others as I humbly submitted to the source of truth the harshness of my misconception and the pollution of pure truth haunt me as I struggle to stop the manipulation and allow truth to freely flow through me I call upon you the great Creator of all that is asking your acceptance of my earnest offer take back the choice so freely given and let thy wisdom and truth manifest through me I gladly give my freedom of choice back to you and patiently await your will for my life then without my filter your Truth will dispel the illusion leaving us only true reality

I love this, Bill. Your willingness to bare your soul is unusual in any day and age... and your humble submission to the One Above is inspiring and a credit to the veracity of your journey. Bravo, Gershon

Very profound, Bill; I agree, man has truth at his ready acquisition, and to enjoy all we need do is surrender the lesser ego. God does not keep love and truth from us -- we are double-minded...half of self working against the other half. God does not force us to believe, or accept, a certain lifestyle...however, He is law -- and defying law has consequences. Quite a stirring write my friend. Thank you for sharing. When the Lesser-ego is subdued, surfaces our true personalities, pure Sons and daughters of God. As I see it, anyway.
