Notes About The Poem

Thoughts Running Free 3

The essence of our existence is eternal
So dead or alive, we always survive
We continually come into a form
Or out of a form either physical or spiritual

We live continually existing for eternity
Either in a physical form or spiritual form
Our eternal form is spiritual
Our host in the physical world can die or be destroyed

Spirit from a state of omnipresence becomes
Thought from a place of all possibilities
Transforming through intention
And is manifested as physical life

Eternal energy is present in each state
Spirit, thought, intention and manifestation
When the eternal energy leaves the physical state
It returns to its natural state of Spirit and omnipresence

This is the cycle of eternal energy
Which is the essence of life, or spirit
And the source of all that is manifest
And recycled throughout eternity

Rowena Velasco August 21, 2025 at 6:55 AM I love how you describe spirit moving through thought, intention, and life, then back again. It feels reassuring, like a reminder that we’re never really gone, just changing form. Your words brought me a sense of peace. Bill Baker August 21, 2025 at 5:30 PM I'm happy these words have brought you a sense of peace, my new friend. Tomorrow is the last of this series of five. It is the end of this series of thoughts that came to me as I meditated on the will of God for my life. God permitting, I'll have more at some point in the future to share. Your fiendship has and is a blessing in my life, Rowena. Bill

Sara Kendrick August 21, 2025 at 5:42 AM We are created being which were originally created to live forever, but the sin of man in the garden separated man from God in man's present state so Jesus came to earth to correct that situation and praise God, Jesus was successful in His trip. We now can be rejoined spirit with body in that eternal body and live with Jesus, Holy Spirit, God forever. Thanks for sharing this philosophical work with us. Sara K Bill Baker August 21, 2025 at 5:25 PM Yes, my dear friend, Sara, the depth of your thoughts and comments add to my humble presentation of thoughts passing through my mind. Thank you, Bill

Joseph P. DiMino August 21, 2025 at 4:22 AM Wonderful Truth! Actually, spirit and physical form are one in the same. Spirit is substance, and not some unreachable, unfathomable Etheric Mist. Consciousness is the link. We evolve from glory to glory realization. Every particle of physical, encountered, has a spirit counterpart, a blueprint, the matrix. Nothing exists, in the world of cause and effect, without its Spirit-diagram -- anchored in the realm of Ever-present-omnipotence. What is negative, not healthy, evil illusion, we all have the power to cast-out, and dissolve. Christ introduced us to that innate power, every one of God's children possesses. Bill Baker August 21, 2025 at 5:23 PM Nice enhancement, my dear friend, Joe. As you so accurately mentioned, physical and spiritual are indeed one and the same in their origin and in eternity. Thank you for sharing your deep understanding of things of the spirit, Joe. Your comments sustain me, especially in these days of trials and tribulations. Blessings my brother, Bill

Valsa George August 21, 2025 at 2:42 AM Whether alive or dead physically, we are living as our soul is eternal. Death cannot rob it off its life. The cycle of eternal energy is coursing through all of us. You have illustrated a complex thought with such clarity. Well done dear Bill. Bill Baker August 21, 2025 at 5:20 PM Your thoughts and comment are uplifting, my dear Valsa. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

Sotto Poet August 21, 2025 at 1:16 AM Pleasing patterns of sound, in this so gentle verse, eternity stands, both ally and adversary in our hands, dear friend Bill. Bill Baker August 21, 2025 at 5:19 PM Thank you for your sensitive comments, my dear friend. Bill
