The Shackles of Limitation

Once you know there’s more… less, will never satisfy again

Pure unadulterated Expression, untainted by the ego, is blind to selfish desires.

Why does the outward human intellect disappoint the deepest parts of the inner spiritual being?

How does one communicate an inexpressible emotion to another soul using only the limited verbal language that falls far short of its intended goal?

Drawing back the bowstrings of communication, releasing the arrow of intent only to disrupt the smoky holographic target of understanding that dissipates into the ever-expansive atmosphere of relation.

Momentarily disappointed by these realistic illusions, the satisfaction of a solid connection seems to elude the bullseye once again.

Quickly closing the gap to each acceptance, I can feel in the depths of my spirit that these pseudo illusions are just the stepping stones necessary to draw me towards what lies waiting in the patient future.

That one arrow in my quiver that will penetrate dead center in the heart of its final target, as fusing two separate single bodies of water when they touch, instantaneously meld into one.

Sometimes the exhausting attempts for connection leave me homeless in the village of food stamp relationships, feeding only inside the parameters of this walled-off mandated entrapment, AKA physical existence.

If this flesh & blood uniform represents the darkness I must succumb to inhabit until the liberation of my soul, then let it find the means to a higher expression of language that doesn’t rely on mere words, as to experience an entire conversation held within a single stare.

Reveal to me the realm of light that finds its connections in pure meaning. A space so expansive there are no boundaries or shackles of limitation.

Release my soul to explore the far reaches of space to experience every drop of life intended in the original divine design for humanity.

No more physical illusionary limitations that keep this avatar chained to the blinded eyes of materialistic pursuits.

Fall the scales from my limiting vision and dial into focus the true reality found only in the complete submersion of pure love.

Because I know…

That perfect love drives out all fear.
