We see clearly, we're in trance, bemused by thought forms that prance but wish to indulge awhile, succumbing to ego's guile. We know not why we so choose or why illusions amuse. As Self, we're always complete, bathed in God's light, bliss replete. Perhaps our choice to descend into matter to ascend, is what's called man's fall from grace, as soul's path on earth we trace. However, it is quite clear, that all desires we hold dear, are but dream forms, doomed to die. Why for then, does our heart sigh? We know we are living light, yet pretend to fear the night. Why on earth, do we do this, being God's light, love and bliss? 26-March-2023

So true: We do not even know what we fear, let alone why we fear it. ~ gw
