Introduction to Peace

Words are archaic symbols, which are very valuable, but do not let them trick you. This poetry is created to form a map of the way to peace. The interpretation of words by every person reading them will be different since everyone’s perspective (everyone’s unique point of view) sees from a different angle determined by their life experiences. To use this poetic map I advise you to employ your intuition based on your life experiences to gain insights that will allow the map to provide guidance for the exploration of your unique and personal journey toward a more full life enriched with ever-deepening inner peace.

True science teaches us to have Theories, never Beliefs. It is a delusion that science has answers and is the world view of philosophical materialism and this false religion of materialism is hampering human progress. Science is a method of inquiry, with no beliefs, only theories which are to be continually refined or even overturned with new data, new learning, and new insights. All beliefs are mythology (given a bit of time) and philosophical materialism will seem silly (and sad) if humans survive to mature as a species and heal the Earth. We all need to admit that we do not and cannot mentally understand the full nature of these amazing and wonderful life journeys which we are aware of experientially amid present changes within the vast Mystery of the Cosmos.

We all have 'beliefs' but if we know they are just theories, temporary word reflections of the infinite Mystery we encounter, we are definitely not going to want to fight about them. Sharing is good: it helps us all mold new beliefs. Every belief system that has ever been has evolved and only existed until a greater understanding came along and made it into a mythology. So when we know our current beliefs are a good story and not the ultimate truth, then the adventure of life has much more peace and excitement. Peace and the excitement of life are complimentary feelings. These words are a symbolic reflection of the infinite Mystery and it’s very enriching to share stories and visions of the Mystery.

I could elaborate on each poem and generate pages of thoughts based on my experiences, but your experiences and thoughts will be more valuable to you. Therefore, when a passage speaks to you, contemplate it. Journaling is a life skill you may employ to more fully understand the passages that touch something deep within your unique being. Explore the feelings or reflections from your life that are touching. Re-read it and let the vague realization potentiate the spontaneous arising of a new perspective. Continue to recognize when the newly realized perspective arises during your active day and allow it to transform your course which is guided by your choices of the feelings and thoughts you empower by focusing and repeating them. Increase your inner peace and release worry and stress. Be gentle and loving toward yourself and others. Nouns are an illusion, there are only verbs: life is a journey, and everything changes. Take the keys and travel upon the roads meant for your adventurous explorations.

Part 1:

A Gift of Peace

Sacred and Divine

Divine Light and Love is masculine,

is consciousness,

is giving attention to others.

Sacred Darkness and Compassion

is feminine,

is the unfolding Mystery

and receives other’s attention.

Sacred Darkness

births the Divine Light,

nurtures the Divine Light,

and absorbs the Divine Light.

One is advised to surrender,

to be open

and allow the Dark Mystery

to touch the core

of one’s Light of Consciousness.

Sacred Darkness and Compassion,

Divine Light and Love,

diversity entwined within

as active Unity.

One does not need to understand

to offer compassion to others and

to one’s self.

One does not need a reason

to radiate love

to others and to one’s self.

The Mystery

The Sacred Mystery of the totality

channels Consciousness through its being and

nurtures Consciousness by revealing

the wonders of its being a little at a time,

enticing Consciousness with minute glimpses

of wisdom which expand awareness,

luring Consciousness to penetrate more deeply

into the natural Mysteries.

The Mystery leads the dance of life

which enlightens through the Mystery’s

all powerful control and offers to Consciousness

the most precious gift,

the ability to share in the creativity,

the ability to share in the co-creation

of one’s life path

and affect one’s countless relationships.

One’s intent and desires

must align with the true nature

of the mortal human form

and the timeline

of One’s visit to the Earth realm

in order for One to be actualized

as a being co-creating

with the Sentient Mystery.

One is invited to weave ever evolving

world views of wisdom as refined guidance

for the continual journey through the

transformations, as the Mystery adjusts

to one’s choices and continually presents

the situations, the needs, and the opportunities

which may spur growth of Conscious awareness.

Like clouds passing through the sky,

experiences pass through Consciousness

and a life journey is like thread

through the eye of the needle

of one’s unique perspective,

which offers the opportunity to know

more of the sacred dark Mystery

with its endless unknown aspects and

to be illuminated by bright shining Consciousness.

The Depth of the Mystery watches intently

enticing us to engage ever more deeply

with Life.

Change is the way that the Sentient Mystery

of the unfolding creation which

nourishes our non-material consciousness

amid our material human journey

and teaches complete surrender,

not to other human wills,

but to the will of the Mystery

over the course of the transformations

which the changes bring

into our lives.

There is endless Mystery

surrounding Consciousness on its journey:

do not let one’s focus be trapped

by the mundane: keep lucidity

and experience the extraordinary

magical depth of details

amid the ordinary human journey.

The Sacred Mystery

of the Totality

has allowed us to enter

into the body of the Cosmos

and experience the Divine,

the blessing of experiencing life.

Be bold and adventurous,

and explore the magic being

one lives within.

The journey is a short visit,

yet the experiences impart

a lingering sensation of self:

therefore choose Compassionate Love

and let your essence

retain a fragrance divine.

Bodies are such strange contraptions

upon which to take a ride in

through the Mystery of life

because they keep changing

and forcing our perspective

to adapt and grow.

The Mystery cannot be understood:

it gives wisdom and yet

the Mystery is beyond wisdom.

The Mystery must be experienced

with unfiltered feeling.

We are guests visiting Earth.

Our host is beautiful.

Our host is wise.

Our life journey is precious.

Share laughter and tears,

wonder and
