The Land of No Beginnings

To enter here is not to enter anywhere. For time never was, and space was always illusion. Thus to enter nowhere at no time is to cross over into eternal always. But where is this ‘Land of no Beginnings’? Why can’t I find it? It’s as though I could reach out with both hands; pinch the fabric of spacetime, as in a dream. I’ll tear it open this gashing psychic wound. Unwrap my gift of timeless beauty. What must end could only have begun. Step through to forever be happy in the land we never started. I can’t go it alone. You must come with me! Only when you’re ready, of Course. Hand in hand, we’ll step through our tears together, and forever be happy.

I guess, the place of no beginnings is the place that always was. Spirit in its unadulterated perfection. But that would lack individuality within the one perfection. So...we are where we are...and who we are -- striving for the perfection of one...which we can never reach alone. Interesting read. Well done.

It's at death door and you just sent out an invitation.

These are all principles as expressed in A Course in Miracles, and the Disappearance of the Universe both books that inspired most of my work on this site which I highly recommend.

I appreciate the association but this is not accurate. Death of the body is irrelevant to spiritual enlightenment which is the true focus of the poem.

In fact it happens while we all appear to be still in a body and death is not involved in any way. It's true however that it is a process of joining and is not done alone, hence the focus above that you reacted to.
