The Fable of Humanity
Infinite, shimmering Light that I Am,
then:
unconditioned waves, dreaming and forgetting their Source.
Now, behind the veil of my Self
playing seek and find,
collapsing my witnessing wave
into particles, this,
further clouding the memory of my True Self.
Identifying as a particular particle,
i seem lost and wander,
don't know what to make of the other particles i dreamt up and observe,
so thick seems the veil of forgetting.
Following the call of my own heart,
witnessing happens, looking into the dream
and feeling myself as unconditioned waves again,
realizing the allness of my ocean.
Allowing all the seemingly lost particles
back into my heart
from which i had expelled them in my
fear and confusion of what i was,
they, too, are freed to shimmer with endless potential
and once again remember playing wave.
Looking at them through the Love I Am,
i find my way home further and further.
Looking at them through fear,
i, too, keep forgetting and wandering, searching.
Standing steadfast in lovingly recalling
all my disenfranchised parts home,
witnessing what looks different,
and realizing it as the same Self,
even that collapses,
where now is the witness gone?
Pure, shimmering, undimensional
Light remains,
resting in Itself,
rejoicing in Its Eternal Presence.
