The mystery of life has been concealed
in a materialistic dream:
for long we’ve been told stories,
told to simply believe
and obey the rules handed down;
told a story of sin and damnation
and denied the truth of personal revelation.
God was taken from the earth and put up in the sky:
The body was called shameful and the Goddess was denied.
Salvation became a matter of the after-life
and man was told he had to live with wife.
Women were told they had to obey their men
and sex was said to be only for procreation.
Heretics, queers and witches were punished, burned or hung.
Some unhappy old men wanted to pretend sex for pleasure was a sin
so had to oppress those who couldn’t be persuaded to believe that –
those who knew better from their personal experience – knew sex as a gateway to heaven,
that is to say, the women, the gender-fluid, the gay men!
Ancient rites were banned,
fine cultures destroyed around the world in the name of a Father God –
religion used to subjugate and dominate
the human soul has been thoroughly abused.
“The cost humanity will have to pay for ignoring and denying the Female Principle of the Universe is soaring. It is through this Female Principle that the Way will be found. Let this spaceship find home in the Mother’s harbor – paradise restored, at least spiritually. By accepting all elements in nature, we make whole the collective and individual Soul.” from The Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries by Zsuzsanna Emese Budapest, 1981
Yet the Oneness is only ever a breath away,
when we embrace the female and male inside –
Our true eternal nature will never fade
and the spirit is here to be our guide.
To know the spirit get out of your mind –
meditate, drum, dance – be compassionate and kind.
To honour the Mother God, respect all life,
working together to renew ourselves and thrive.
Look for the Oneness in every moment and situation
perceive its presence as light, love or peace.
Know that the Oneness is What We All Really Are
and that the Age of Division will cease.
Dismantling the edifice of the materialistic, patriarchal belief system
will take some time
but the work starts inside
each of us.
It’s as simple as embracing the two parts of the mind –
the warrior and the lover, the adult and child, the human and divine.
Consciousness is Cosmic – it’s part of nature
through the breath, through the heart, through the flesh
when we reconnect nature to nature, being to being –
the body knows best.
Surrender fears, attachments and phobias
Believe in your own inner Utopia.
This will not mean the end of darkness and trial
but it will align us with the teachings of the wise.
When it comes to Oneness, to entering and embracing Non-Dual Consciousness:
The mind considers (and creates hopes and fears, of gods, hells and heavens)
the spirit acts (actions take us into union or away from it, we learn by experience)
the soul feels (through emotions we experience our connection to life and consequences of our actions)
the body knows. (It worries not).
The gates to the mystery are in our minds, hearts, emotions and bodies
the Kingdom of Heaven is truly within.
When we accept that we are a part of an eternal, infinite, cosmic consciousness
and release the fears and ideas of sin
a new life truly begins.
