Educating Ignorance
Educating ignorance
is a full on
lifetime task.
A joyous
not grave
responsibility
to raise
to expand the consciousness
of an entire world.
To perpetuate
human survival
on a higher
cosmic level
attaining joyous existence
sustainability.
Reverent
collective will
exalting
individual freedom
outgrow need to dominate
pristine nature.
Outgrowing need
to dominate
energy sources
all human incarnations
conceived revered as
sacred sites evolving.
Life a joyous exaltation
not a grave
restrained responsibility.

An Evolutionary Leap
An evolutionary leap
in life consciousness.
Born in pulse present lives
contemporary consciousness;
are apparently normal at surface appearance
radiant destined human beings;
developing transcendental paranormal capacities
as God sourced energy connections;
as part of an “Incarnated in the earth’s vibrations”
accelerated evolutionary vibration rate.
As a more purified
spiritual frequency
crossing the biological barrier
between this husk life
and states of vibrational existence
preceding birth
states of illuminated existence
ascending death.
As part of an incarnated accelerated
bridge to future potential
raising vibrations, reaching ultimately,
heaven immanent on earth.
Crossing the curtained barrier
between this learning life
and the world we were born
to aspire ascend to.
Released from modern disbelief
in imminent human transcendence
transforming psychosocial characteristics.
Released from chained dominated insecurity
arising from physical exploitation aspects
inducing perceived threatening life.
“Ignorance and lust are crippling chains
that need not be.”
Released from flesh soul tormented
fear incumbent upon incapacitated many
“trapped within [... this] physical density” life.
“Infinity pauses, momentarily, passes”.
Release fear spectres hunger, scarcity, impotency.
Release insecure need to control, manipulate, dominate.
Dissipate anger, greed, hate, envy and bitterness.
Even now “humility and love
hold haloed key.”
Through restorative healing love
“links are cut an individual rises free.”
Born in present lives and consciousness
are apparently normal human beings
developing transcendental capacities
as part of an angelic sustained accelerated
bridge to a transformational future diversity;
raising vibrations, reaching heaven on earth
crossing the barrier between this evolving life;
and the world we were born to aspire to.
Nirvana attained perfect peace respecting life.
Nirvana embraces the one life all life
as sacred. Respecting all life as sacred.

Tears Shed Still Flood The Earth
men were described as beasts
before an apocalyptic flood and after
before legendary Biblical flood and after
men no longer strut across landscape like giants
men crush landscape all obstacles into dust particles
men raise up great monuments giant skyscrapers into skies
men dominate landscapes all available resources earth sea skies
but tears still ever flood the earth shed by staring millions

will act in response to conditions of extreme stress and what their faith will prove to be in such situations this is self explanatory therefore why do you interpret personally? personality infused with holy spirit seeks no arguments

Is The Battle Worth Fighting?
some individuals fight battles
with other individuals needlessly
some individuals are never long
content with getting their own way
some individuals fight ferociously
to dominate all those around about
some individuals who cannot safe vent dominate
their own desires seek to next dominate all others
some individuals who cannot control own emotions
seek to control all within range sphere of influence

Indictment Against Entire Nations
Collective Guilt Is Groundless.
Guilt is individual as is salvation.
Collective guilt cannot enforced be
laid upon innocence preadolescent.
Vengeance reparations cause wars?
No indictment exists
nor means rationally
for law creating crime
as collective nations
shame blame guilt.
Penalty culpability
regret responsibility
admissions of evils
For the Indictment
of an entire nation.
Least free-born blood
of race righteousness.
Condemned in error.
Cry out from ground
in accusation against us.
Evil must be cleansed
to source malignant.
Before humanity can
collectively throw off. Weight
cavitation chains walk free.

Responsibility Accepted Before Judgement Seat Of God
I accept full complete total responsibility
for all my sins both great or small committed
sins deliberate or sins by error committed
responsibility for all I fully accept before God
responsibility for all I bear as judgement of God
blood sacrifice of Jesus my reparation paid before God
before God I give thanks worship for all eternity.

Why Bother?
Most people born
into stale earth existence
never do anything
with their transitional lives.
They just take up space
occupy an empty chair
move daily from point A to B?
Never contemplating
meditating mitigating,
the reason why
humankind survives,
humanity evolves,
within earth sphere.
For all the essential qualities
they self occupied achieve...
they may as well dormant be
an empty vacant sterile chair.
They are not inactive born
to attain high peaks
encapsulate enlightenment
because they choose not to.
They wade through waves
encompassing indifference,
or generate storm tossed anger
to drown themselves,
or others bitterly within, when
they even indifferently bother.
Radiant meaning, purpose, learning,
orientating chosen human existence.
Is not an ultimate goal, attaining, perpetuating,
mere physical; supposed security survival.
Choose contribute, to an evolutionary shift,
through fine deeds, singular communal;
brainstorming, healing, supportive, attitudes actions;
supportive love sent; revitalizing energy.
Open imagination expand limits,
awareness, germinating self-knowledge.
Mitigate fear, hopelessness, despair,
permeating despondent; hedonistic humanity.
Universal enlightenment
offers transcendental energy;
to everyone interrogating life
seeking essentially spiritual nature.
Mystical connections
within universal energy;
expands our awareness;
orientating souls irrevocably towards;
our ultimate human destiny;
our original divinity created purpose.

Consciousness
Mass and energy is one and the same.
On conversion, they interchange forms.
No gain or no loss is their total sum.
Consciousness runs through them over time.
Water is the essence and consciousness
That runs through ice, steam, mist, dues, fog and frost.
Life energy is the sole consciousness
That runs through plants, animals and humans.
The Universe is constantly evolving.
Living organisms are evolving from the earth
And dissolve into the earth over time.
The consciousness runs through uncut.
Adults give birth to new ones and will die.
The new ones grow to adults and give births.
The adult protrudes its mass and energy
While it itself dissolves into the earth.
Formless consciousness takes variant forms,
Which are, however, impermanent.
Body, senses and mind make human form.
Human form is made of fluent energy.
The energy is undying and unborn.
The life energy manifest in forms
Dies not when the form disintegrates
And only extends when new one develops.

Hopelessly Human
It's a strange aberration, this brainstorm of youth
Though it's lost in translation from fancy to truth
It's hopelessly human, both inside and out
A joyous occasion, there's no reason to doubt
It's easy somehow, what once was elusive
Is calling me now
I am waiting, I am patiently
Doing nothing, in a reverie
Climbing higher, seeing everything
Interacting, slowly spiralling
I am giving, while I'm watching the
Life I'm living, precious energy
Escalating, what was once just a game,
It's never the same, no one's to blame
It's a strange situation, there's no cause for alarm
All these hot licks and rhetoric, surely do you no harm
They're hopelessly human, both inside and out
A joyous occasion, there's no reason to doubt
When each word is read, would you know the difference
If nothing was said?
All is rythm, all is unity
I am laughing, as it's meant to be
Just amusing, I am using the
Word was given, making harmony
Moving slowly, dancing aimlessly
Endless circle, turning fearlessly
Resurrected, falling down again
Introspective, I'm just stating my view
Now you can choose, what do you feel,
Is it for real this time?
Your request matches 1 albums and 9 songs
