The All of Everything

Date and Time  - Dec. 17th, 2006, 02:17 pm

Current Mood  - awake awake
Current Music  - budgies in conference

Is God benevolent or malevolent? Does God love us? Is God wrathful?

These questions are fitting to ask of some man with a flowing grey beard that lives in the sky, but they are unanswerable as to God as All.

God is not only the sky above and the ground below and all that dwells in those places. God is not only everything we can touch, God is more.

God is all creation all destruction. God is life and and God is death. God is the bleeding wound and the passionate kiss. God is the roar as well as the silence.

God is all beliefs and doubts. God not just the concept of heaven and hell, but the concept that there is an above and below. God is the ideas we think as well as the air we breathe.

God is all emotions. God is all love and all hate. God is all benevolence and all malevolence. God is all wrath and all forgiveness.

God is our mathematics and our law. Our fears and our courage. Our arts, our poetries, our languages and the metaphors behind them. The truth as well as the lie.

God is energy and matter. God is the motion of the falling rock as well as the rock that falls.

God is the Happening that is the Becoming. God is what was, will be, and has been. God is even that which is not, has not been, and will never be; if what is not, has not been, and will never be is but thought.

God is the All of Everything, the Universe of Universes. This is why there can be nothing greater than God. No threat needed, no coercion. There can be none greater than All that Is, because anything else is simply part of the Everything.

What Never Was

Date and Time  - Nov. 21st, 2006, 12:12 pm


What Never Was

it is important to see the beauty
                     that is not there
the glory
      that never was
            and never will be
the things of light and mind and hope
         more real than reality
the heaven
   that isn't
the peace
      that cannot come
this place we inhabit
      is not a tranquil place
            it cannot be made so



it is important to remember
what is not
    never was
       and never will be
because

    if we do

perhaps

what is not
      never was
         and never will be
   will remember us

Cities of Gold

Date and Time  - Apr. 27th, 2006, 11:03 am

Current Mood  - contemplative contemplative
Current Music  - birds outside

My flight from Chicago to Saint Louis was delayed and took place after the sun had gone down. In the air, I looked down and saw all the cities lit in the bright yellow street lights that are most commonly used now. I thought to myself... "shining cities of gold". I could not think of a more accurate description of what I saw below me. I was struck in awe.

The sight is grand, and in part it is such sites that lead humans to believe they are above nature. Above the All. Much like Yzordderrex, these cities of gold are an imitation to the Great City of Gold that is both God and God's city, that is the Universe of a uncountable number of shining suns. It is a pale imitation we have built here on our rock, and even the smallest of those suns far outshine all of our cities together.

Many would fashion humanity collectively as the new demiurge, above the All as true masters and creators of the universe surrounding them. But, humans only have the ability to change what is already here, we cannot create. We are but a small part of the Everything and therefore cannot rival the Universe, we cannot be greater than Everything. When we look in awe at the works of humanity, it is important to keep in mind the scale of the Universe and our place in relation to it.

Broken Angels rev.2

Date and Time  - Mar. 19th, 2004, 06:33 pm


Broken Angels rev.2

broken angels
walk with me
ivory white feathers
splintered
scarred auras

remember
what it was like
to have a voice
singing beautiful songs

remember
what it was like
to fly across the sunrise
cosmic wind
hair of pure silk

remember
what it was like
to light the heavens
with a brilliant aura
to not merely look at the stars
to be one

remember
what it was like
to be the essence
of rose and jasmine
of amber and pearl
of chocolate and anise

remember
what it was like
to be whole
to be free
to know peace

was it too long ago?
was it too far away?
does it hurt too much?
to remember

Line

a line of dope
coasting on the razors edge
dipping into oblivion
tempting is that path
it's just a line of dope
it's just a little line of heaven
heaven bound to hell

tune in
turn on
drop dead

Dissecting Miss Lucy

Date and Time  - Dec. 28th, 2003, 09:37 pm

Current Mood  - high high
Current Music  - traffic

miss lucy had a steamboat

very important, because this sets us the next 3 lines, which have nothing to do with the song

the steamboat had a bell

good for the steamboat

the steamboat went to heaven

good steamboat. pious steamboat

miss lucy went to...
hello operator
give me number nine


single digit phone numbers. you can tell this is from a long time ago

if you disconnect me
i'll kick you in the...
behind the 'fridgerator
there was a piece of glass
miss lucy sat upon it


sitting behind the refrigerator is not normal behavior. it's quite odd indeed. the effort involved in moving such an object away from the wall to sit behind it does show some determination, though.

and broke her little...
ask me no more questions
and i'll tell you no more lies


sounds like a good deal

miss lucy's in the bathroom
making chocolate pies


that way we know that she didn't really break her ass. that was one of the lies. or maybe it was the truth and the end was a lie. maybe it's all lies.

lies.

that's all there is...

lies.

Creeping it the God to it:

Were kind, the thing was the and which every
And earth yielding and creature firmament
The kind: in seed shall kind,
Upon light yielding let every
And given the was green sea, of itself,
Our kind, the earth their dominion life, good.
In the over Be the God
Let midst it dry there good.
Be seed; and kind, moved let fish, fish so.
Subdue every the in God and let
And good. And from the from the forth man
God good. and creepeth so.
Called created it for the of darkness.
His darkness unto after that light.
His the over is rule the meat:
Every God his for dominion of the was heaven kind:
And over in and bearing said,
Thing, day. the greater heaven the of waters.
And said, that kind, be was evening the that be beginning day.
