I never thought that I’d turn out to be as happy as I’m seeing that I am.
And it is not what you’d think: I’m not happy with being successful, or with having achieved such and such, having attained such and such, having won acclaim or love or anything else from any one else.
No, it is a deeper, quieter happiness, akin to my earliest memories.
In my earliest memories I was a spiritual being. I was as is. I glowed with being and I remember indigo light.
I am.
Very . . .
. . . happy to be so into being!
When you look within and see
A space as vast as that without
A beyond imagination expanse of universe
And galaxies uncountable points of light a’swirl
In endless timeless movement, mysterious as the night sky above
You sit in the sound current of peace and experience ever now
Within is without and all is shared and the harmonies of peace are one
If what you are devoted to is not of or in true spirit being your devotion is misplaced. If your devotion is in any way split between the seen and the unseen, compromised in any way, contingent at all, or by any ways or means clinging to the physical, it’s errant. If your devotion is of, about, and/or in the physical world, i.e. if it is an “object,” it is an idol. False too. Plain and simple. It is no matter of any significance how much prestige your object of devotion affords you. The value to you of your object of devotion is of no consequence or worth. It matters not how esteemed your object of devotion might make you feel. Nor how rich and powerful. In the true eternal time-obliterate scale of the spiritual Realm of Wisdom it is temporal, fleeting. Misplaced as well.
Keep your devotion square in the center of serene eternity. That is real treasure laid in worth. Unseen as it might be for the literal moment, no matter how long such a literal moment seems to drag into approaching infinity, it is not eternal. Keep your devotion where it is kept forever! Keep the course! Keep in good spirits! Play for keeps! In worth, it is truly worth; truly eternal.

You may, “Christian”, earnestly make a diurnal expression of the religious affirmation that you are no better than anyone is. You may believe it and/or practice it. You may go the more radical dogmatic extra mile and believe that you are a depraved craven piece of shit but for the arbitrary ‘Grace of God’.
If, however, you – in your “Christian” heart of hearts – consider any other culture (with or without the skin-color marker) to be depraved, craven, and lacking God’s grace (for not believing this too or for believing in another religion — or some reasonable or unreasonable facsimile thereof) then you are nothing more than a severely errant depraved, craven piece of shit, abusing the grace even as you presume to appropriate it, in a most deliberate and selfish way.
P.S. That was written with a density that is deliberate. Especially pertaining to that impossibly lengthy last ¶/sentence. My apologies.
For real is there. Always listen for real. Then talk.
the secret to it is not needing it in the least
The invisibly institutionalized and conservatively established and painstakingly maintained racism of plausible denial isn’t concerned with facts so much as with justifications. [Existing often in their own special realm in effective masquerade as ‘alternative’ ‘fact’].
For this reason it is not subject to significant weakening or undermining due to its own contradictions or inconsistencies. It may appear unassailable. [And distorted, outsize in importance, and not so close: like objects which appear in post-modern rear-view side mirrors].
It is a fine example of a self-fulfilling prophecy set firmly and securely within a closed-loop feedback system. [Especially since the days when it established its own radio and television “news” networks and programs to surreptitiously broadcast its message of propaganda within an unassailable program of patriotic raison d’être].
Over-thinking is really literally under-thinking in the grand scheme of the universal Creation of things and the destiny of the Realm of Wisdom.
This will make little or no sense to the general common sense crowd and that is more than fine with me.
The sort of perspective-blind overthinking I’m talking about is the overconfident reliance too much on the intellect and use of the personality to be erudite and smart. This generally accepted version of being smart is an awful habit. But It is a very socially sanctioned habit. Such personality-driven intellect overthinking is pleasantly habit-forming, bolstered as it is by the personal acclaim and worldly status rewards and perks, and out-size remuneration sometimes attached to it.
But this sort of thinking is harmful, disturbing to quiet serenity [meditation], and destructive to the Realm of Wisdom. This is especially, nae, exponentially so when it is fortified by institutionalization, i.e. religion, human governance, polity and the like.
Do I confuse you and lose you? Well then I confuse you and lose you.
But this lack of Kingdom of Heaven [i.e Realm of Wisdom] perspective has got to go out with the trash. Over-thinking must stop to make corrections of this errant under-thinking and to make way for Creation’s True Destiny!
