Poem on Humanity’s Relationship with Planet Earth

And our place and purpose in the universe told through tanka and dodoitsu.

Once upon a time God gave Gaia realm to rule It’s called Planet Earth She nurtured many species Microscopic to immense

Many have perished Some of the oldest survive Worlds so dark and strange Existence shocks consciousness of the supposed most evolved

Reject our nature Perceive themselves as supreme In image of God True but blind to its meaning Creators not destroyers

Yet so many religions Take Creator's name in vain God is love not fear Pearly gates open to all Hell’s where too many live now

Divine symbiotes Adam Eve Human Oneness Not male and female One side of two conjoined lives Blending of body and soul

Souls live forever As do all of our egos This is grand design Human soul duality In non-dual universe

Some call this ancient wisdom For me it’s intuition Of meaning of life

Return to experience Happiness and pain alike Survive when find contentment though serenity

Come to teach come to be taught End of world as we know it When acceptance rules the day Until we return

Today chaos rules As it did before The Fall Rinse, cycle, repeat Humans shall not go extinct Mother Nature shall protect

But not without pain How else will we learn

A Few Poet’s Notes:

Joseph Lieungh loop pedaling through my verses is:

Some of the oldest survive Worlds so dark and strange Existence shocks consciousness

In my mind is the life found in the deepest parts of the ocean, and birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs.

God is love not fear Pearly gates open to all Hell’s where too many live now

Divine symbiotes Adam Eve Human Oneness Not male and female One side of two conjoined lives Blending of body and soul

Humans are a uniquely designed symbiotic species of highly evolved animals and souls. See White Feather’s post. This is also the story of creation in Genesis when one looks back at the original texts before certain words were mistranslated to man and woman. See Graham Pemberton’s

Simplifying the analysis, Adam and Eve do not represent the creation of man and woman but rather the creation of a species consisting of animal and soul. I had started to think along these lines a couple of years ago when I had the realization that the terms divine masculine and divine feminine actually refer to ego and soul,

which I later refined to animus and soul in my

in which I explained my view that we are neither humans seeking spiritual experiences nor spirits seeking human experiences — we are simultaneously and inseparably both.

Human soul duality In non-dual universe

This poem responds to Jean Carfantan’s prompt:

and yes, Jean, QC should rise like a Phoenix — I hope it does

Desiree Driesenaar I think you might want to respond to Jean’s prompt.

In Rama I create, with soul energy surging through my body, inspiring me and breathing wind into my sails,
