In a recent post Can We Save Ourselves From Our Own Ignorance I mentioned a condition I called the veil of separation. The following poem nails it. Walking one day in a dream, I met a man. By his very will the world fell dark and he spoke ; “your role is destroyer, your world a wasteland. You people have become so proud. You judge your success by the degree to which you have attained separation from me. My garden was enough for all, increasing life and diminishing pain. When was it you forgot me and began destroying for your gain ? Do you think you can beat darkness with your artificial light ? Can you see the whole world over with your artificial sight ? You carpet my earth with your artificial ground. Would you dare overdub my word with your artificial sound? You swear it is to feed the world, your artificial food, but it was you who created money and it has made man blind and rude!” There was really no escaping for all the words he said were true, his face was all around me and all I could say was ….. “who are you?” “There are those who will tell you that I am rumour….I am past…. But I believe you know me better, I am first…. And I am last! My reign is unending which is more than I can say for you. I implore you to return to me and let us talk a few things through. “My role is Creator, and my creation a garden.” So I say to him, “I’m sorry and many others I know are too…. We are trying to turn the tide so what is it we must do?” “Your artificial light will not save you from the darkness that will come, so listen to me while I share with you the things that will make us one; you must open your eyes! Your eyes are in your heart! The eyes you desire are not the simple eyes of the body, so ready to observe your separation from all it is you see… They are the subtle eyes of the spirit, which in turn are a part of me. So take a million mile journey to the centre of your heart, only there will you find my garden as it was at the start.” I said to him, “please sir, tell me is it not too late? We have disrespected you so long, why have you not left us to our fate?” “I assure you as your closest friend I will never shut the gate, for my garden is the home of love …. Not revenge and hate. For all in my garden would give up their life, before they would take your’s from you….as have some of those of the same flesh that covers your spirit too. There will always be time, as long as people walk this earth. And just because I have spoken this day of your failure, does not mean I do not see your worth. I know you know how to love… or I would have given up on you long ago. But if you believe anothers pain is anothers alone, I say you will reap what you sow…. For there is only one thing that will save you, and that is your love must grow! Remember you belong to all things as much as all things belong to you, and if one thing you take from our meeting… “let it be my love for you!”
