With a sword in hand

Once upon a time, I felt the pulse. Then, distracted, I listened to the rhythms, the melodies and watched the dancers.

The pulse, hidden by delusion, drowned out by the static of my internal dissonance.

What if:

There is no higher energy, no higher beings to find

There is no higher purpose or great work to do

There is nothing ‘out there’ to connect to

Gone – cut away

Cut away:

The barriers between thoughts, feelings, and actions

Cut away the fear

The barriers between victim, persecutor, and rescuer

Cut away the fear

The barriers between us and the shadow

Cut away the fear

The barriers between feminine and masculine

Cut away the fear

The defenses – the thick scar tissue around our wounds

Cut away the fear

The hurts, regrets, grief, anger

Cut away the fear

The narcissism – the desire to be special

Cut away the fear

The parasitic contractions – the tensions held

Cut away the fear

The inherited beliefs, thought forms and contracts

Cut away the fear

Freedom!

Expanding into a new “state” – beyond barriers and perimeter.

Being aware, alive – in every heartbeat; in every breath; in every thought.

Liberation!

Within

The Pulse
