To Thine Own Self
"To thine own self
be true..." ~
Many a lunatic have mouthed
these words.
Problem is, there are two selves~
our Lesser and Higher:
The Lesser, that which we
assume daily; and the Higher
which is an eternal elevation
unreachable -- here we have to
settle, like with horseshoes, close
and closer, but only God is the
Perfect Ringer!
To be one's self,
a perfected self, as God sees us
and challenges us to rise to daily,
is to be less personal, in an earthly
ego sense, and more magnanimous
in a pure loving sense.
God is a
community...of all that is, and all
that can ever be. To separate ourselves
from God, mentally and spiritually,
is to be an Independent Destroyer --
Satan's Fall...was his wrong step.
Into oblivion....
-------------------------------------------
Not to confound nor confuse:
Communism, is not Community.
And Socialism, is not Social....
God's Community is, total independence
from sin.
