Earth life a hard school, we need to get through It is a springboard for our soul’s ascent Spoilt for choice, our heart’s dark desires pursue Heeding not conscience, to grant love consent Head-heart discord, plunges our soul in fear We are lost in this world of illusion Though wheel of time snatches all we hold dear We accept not that we’re in delusion Caged on earth by law of cause and effect We are reborn here, again and again God waits for us to cleanse our soul’s defect Attained when all desires to rest are lain Life after life, we choose pathways of strife Cessation the practice, to be bliss rife 21-February-2021

Very true, in my opinion. I am Christian, yet I hold a profound belief in Karma and reincarnation. I see no conflict. All we see, feel, taste, touch etc., are illusions of consciousness. The entire world is a creation in accordance with our spirtual developement. You said a lot in few words my friend. Excellent!

Deep insights spoken. I’m afraid so sad but true. I’ve often feared and said I hope not to go through or on this Earth as it is and so ruled again. I pray after all my afterall will be held in heaven. God is the longing I hold. Thanks. A beautiful sonnet! xoxo

Love alone real, all else a thought construct … go with love and then we’re in bliss
