God is Image-less

-
When you sit in prayer or meditation
And there is something you want to ask 
God to bring into your life
You hold that image there in silent 
Contemplation.

But when what you desire most
Is that God be in your life. 
That God reveal itself and be known.
There is no image to contemplate
Even the word itself, God,
Implies the known paths of religion.

(I see the value of religion
And I see the harm of religion.
I assert, with full confidence,
There is God beyond church on Sunday.
Enjoy your faith and your dogma, 
If religion is your path. So be it.
I have traveled that path to it's end.) 

God remains and enigma to me.
I wish this state of things to change.
In my silent moments I will contemplate
Nothing. For if God has no image
And all that has an image is already known
Then the unknown Must be image-less.
And God is the great unknown.

When the Thrill of Life Goes Stale

It is my understanding That our advent in this The physical realm Were undertaken in the spirit of Adventure. We wanted to experience  What it was like To be within the physical. To smell a sweet flower. To drink cold, pure water From a spring. To feel a gentle breeze Ruffle your hair, your clothes. Without a physical body Our hands simply pass through Without the sensation of touch. And so we are in every life Enchanted with the opportunities That come with once more Having a body. But we have lived thousands  Of lifetimes here. There comes a point now When we run out of things to do. Things that are new and inspiring. Many... most, will try to double down On things that have given joy In the past. Food and sex. Remember the Romans? Ever searching for greater thrills Vomitoriums, cannibalism,  Voyeurism, Incest... you know. But there is another way. When the world runs out of thrills It is time to tur...
