Born illumined, with an open fontanel, we were then entwined with universal mind but crown closed as we grew, which did not bode well for soul now trapped in ego's remorseless bind and so we sank until we let out a yell, screaming for freedom and since God's always kind, He bestowed divine grace, igniting love's flame, whereupon bliss drenched, we rose in life's endgame. 20-October-2022 ER: Enlightenment Recovery Poetry Contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke Notes: https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/5529/crown-chakra

As God is so merciful, even if we fall, we can rise like phoenix if we liberate ourselves from ego's sinister hold . Great thoughts and great image, dear Seeker friend!

So happy you liked the poem, Valsa. Yes, God helps us IF we wish to help ourselves by using bestowed free will to align with unconditional love and trusting* (*not resisting) the divine current to transform us.
