Were I a tree fallen in a forest bereft of sentient hearing
would I have made a sound or merely succumb in silence?
The consciousness, I adore and call God, hears.
The center of my attention resides as much in the wise as the silent unknown. Their legacy is acted out in behaviors their progeny loudly proclaim. Wonder. What would the actual return of Jesus look like? Would He thrive or be crucified by indifference or otherwise torn asunder?
The world into which we have being is rent with conflict and holds the ability to render itself extinct. We have the collective consciousness of what can turn the tide towards linear creation versus universal annihilation.
Let Mikey, Jesus or God do it? Really!
We individually hold the divine within us. Some small particle smothered beneath fear, driving addictions for material wealth. Rituals of avoidance celebrated: theft, murder, rape enslavement applauded and institutionalized codified. Our hands, eyes, minds are all that God has to make a world in which love is possible. Not impossible.
Curious about who God really is I swim cross current through the rivers of other ideologies--conflicted in competition to prevail. And sense that it is we, here and now, who could become the prophets we followed to one another instead of killing another.
There are many wisdom books, none is definitive, addressing our current truth. Laws create more offenders yet kindness, empathy, mercy, forgiveness and compassion create and sustain life.
There is no all inclusive Brand Name for that.
