THE UNIVERSAL BEING chapter 16
by Aashid
Faces go by as I become familiar with life
This challenging time of growth and improvement
In structure form, inner and outer
I witness things that happen
And I don't understand why
I just know that they are
And I don't even know if there is a why
But I know there must be
Because my mind tells me these things
If my mind tells me those things
Then why should it be true
When I know my mind is there to control
To be in charge of everything that we do
The faces in the crowd that I recognize as being familiar
Are the ones that I choose to get to know
They are the ones that I've seen before
In other places and in other situations
And I have memory of those spirits behind those faces
The face looks familiar because the spirit feels familiar
I wander aimlessly sometimes
And still find my way, even though
I didn't even know that I was going anywhere
And then I see those eyes come through
And recognize that they are the eyes of before
They are the familiar, and so
Those are the eyes that I choose to get to know
We are all getting to know the one that's the other
And the other ones
There are many, many trillions of beings
Throughout the universe
And we are all part of every being that is
So we must all get to know one another
We must all become familiar with the other
The rarest of all is the one that comes most seldom
And this makes it the most prized
Because it is the least experienced
And if the experience is exhilarating
And exciting, and foreboding
And all the things that make us feel as though we are
It is the reward that we receive for being here, now
Because we are always here, now
We were over there when the sirens began to wail
And we were over there when the voices began to shriek
And still we heard from one to the other
And we empathized with even more
Because there was more happening
Than we can ever even express
And it all comes unto us because we must be open to it
And if we are open to it
Then we will not miss any of the rewards
That comes along with its presence
Words are expressed in this manner
To communicate a certain state of being that exists
And if you can go between the spaces
Then you'll have a total comprehension of the meaning
Which was intended to come through me to you
So don't think that you have to hurry
Because time is forever and a day
It goes too soon, but always returns in the next moment
And you are the one who has to say
Whether this is the time for you
If this is the light that would shine
In the way you would enjoy
And be enthralled, and enmeshed
In a situation that was growth oriented
In a way that you want to grow
Give thanks and thanks will be given unto you
Give life and love will be given unto you
When you know that this is the way that it is
And there is no doubt
Then it becomes true
Because it is an eternal truth
So embrace this eternal truth and let it sink in
Let it become you
Let us all become truth and we will win the struggle
Through this karmic field of justice
Through this course of endurance and stamina
There are many things that we must learn
There are many things that we already know
So let's share the things that we know
And let's learn the things that we don't know
Knowledge leads to wisdom and on, and on, and on
Through the eternal structural habitations
That spring up throughout this universe that we know
Which is in our environmental structure, that is personal
Up a mighty river is the source of our dreams
And aspirations, and desires
Up a mighty river is the being that is light
That is beyond all the desires
Up a mighty river is the one that's behind
The being that's all knowing
That's knowing more than all knowing
Because it is the being that's always been
That's here with us now and loves us
That we love through our touching and caressing
And pure, pure intermingling
Life is trembling in the doorway as the door slams
And life is cut short by the slamming of the door
Love is standing near but not in the doorway
Because love is everywhere and more
When you understand this love
That we give to one another
Be it dark or be it light
It's all love and it comes from a place of enchantment
A place that we can't quite name
Because it's out of our mental realm of understanding
But we do still make the attempt because we must
We must try to understand the all of the all
And hold it tightly
So that we can proclaim it to be our own
And only show it to the ones we think are qualified
In one way or another
But on we go to the next enchantment
For many there are in these days
Because these days are so illuminated
You can see them coming and going always
So much to be remembered
And so much to be forgotten
That sometimes it's hard just to let everything happen
We get on this trip of wanting to control
The way things happen
And this is such a waste of energy
Because things are happening the way they're supposed to
No matter what we do
We just decide that we will participate and enjoy
But not take it too seriously
But take it more seriously than anyone else
Because this is a reality
Although mine is different from yours
One is as valid as the other
And they're both impossible to prove
Because they belong only to one
Shared realities exist, but not experienced
Only shared through the knowledge
Which comes from conversational communications
On one level or another
When you are me
Who was I when I was you?
Do you know who you are now?
I only know who I am because I am who I am
And I only know who you appear to be
Through my all discerning eyes
When will you know who you are?
So I can know who I am
In reference to your being here with me
Ways of knowing this are in the soul
If you're into a deep search
The answers are all deep within
Because the deeper within that we go
The further out we become
So lift up your spiritual self and go deeper
And feel the amazing graceful tones of awareness
That totally permeate the systems that exist
For the movement toward total enlightenment
I know this is where we must go
No matter what we name the state
Because it is a natural progression from one to the other
So let's move at a hasty, healthy pace
For love is ever with us to guide us and give us strength
As we stumble and even sometimes we fall
But we get up and we move on
An we lift up our spirits
And we go deeper, and deeper, and deeper again
So that we can get in touch with our total being
That will always inhabit the universal consciousness
That exists through all eternity one with another
And another with one
It's not just that I think we are here
To sample the fruits of the pleasures
I think that's something that we do
But wouldn't you if you had the chance?
And you do, and you have, I'm sure
So there's nothing wrong with life
And the enjoyment that goes with it
So let's not feel as though we don't deserve it
Because if it feels good and it's for us
And it harms no one
Then it is a wonderful blessing
To be able to participate in this enjoyment
With ourselves and with each other
So we know that sometimes this is not going to be the answer
Because there have always been exceptions to everything
But we have to learn what the rules are
And then we'll know where we stand
As this is happening to us
And we know that we are part of it
So, we must give what we receive
So that we can receive what we need
And we will always receive what we need
If we give what we take
I am responsible for the life that I am
And I am responsible for the life that you are
And you are responsible for the life that you are
And you are responsible for the life that I always have been
Because this is why we are here in this universe
Is to realize that we are one and the same
And this must be repeated
Because we can venture out into outer spaces
And we can forget our basic teachings of oneness
And we must always remember
Especially in times of trouble, and conflict, and destruction
Because oneness is the one thing
That can bring us through anything
That we may have to endure
Because of our realization of who we are
And our ability to be above what we have been before
When we were in this together
We knew that would be something
That would not end with time
And it would not end ever
Upon the mist of transcendence
Because it was something that always had been
Since before the beginning of the one that was
And is, and always shall be
Why is this such a wonderful dream that we're living in?
On all the different sides of reality
It's hard for some beings to appreciate
Because they're so new at it
But in the long run, which we all have
We learn how wonderful and how miraculous it all is
And how never ending it has always been
When you look over to the other side of the end
And you realize that you still are not there
It is a call to wake up to the truth
That everything has always been what it is
Which is everything
And then, just tell yourself that you know
This is a definite yes, because you experienced it
And then, you will hold on to this
Because it will become part of you
And then, it will become you
And then, it is you and it always was
But you needed the realization and the act
Within which to place your consciousness
Of the happening which is perceived as being something
That is happening for the first time
Which we all know, nothing is
But separate from that we must realize
We are united in that which is the separation
That we need for conversation and duality purposes
Why we would even think that we couldn't
If we could think because we think through the dualities
That is the thought that is
We know because we have one too, to know
And if we don't have one too, to know
We don't think
Because it can't be thought of
One too, to know
One too, to know
That is the logical sequence of this thinking
This thought that happens in any space at any time
That is randomly sequenced in order to have order
We wish that we were, and we have been
We have been, so we wish that we were something other
Than what we have known ourselves to have been
Through our consciousness
Which we constantly rely on
Consciousness relies upon itself
The unconscious just is there
The one that is the background
The radiational background
The under thing, the happening below
That's always there that is the one
That is the consciousness is ever changing
And ever floating
It is very nebulous in it's makeup
So therefore we are constantly in a state of
Consciousness molding
If we are one of the beings that is beyond the other beings
We are on the path
But if we are beings, who are just among the other beings
Then we probably don't even know
That we are a conscious being
We just come in and go out
And we don't even get a chance to grow
