The mystics of the Common Era, whether

Jewish, Muslim, or Christian, in their

desire to forge a relationship with God,

have suffered greatly, some at the hands

of the ruling theology, others by the ruling

party, and sadly, a significant number,

many Christian,  through their own acts of

self-mortification.

 

Yet, as the note below suggests, possibly

this self-focus, the need to fix or improve

or even suffer our self into sacred shape,

is in and of itself, really just self-focused:

clearly missing the point. If so, seeing

beyond our self and into the distinction

less, Divinely based, self that holds the

spark would be a more fruitful approach.

 

WORTHY OF THE MISSION

The sounds within reverberate a truth –

a proverb of sorts – possibly a reminder

to the initiated – surely an essential

clarification for those who have recently

taken to the path, simply: although

we search for our authentic self – it is

but a preparation for what waits beyond.

 

Our goal, in this, is to see beyond our self –

this self, authentic or not, that we hold

in such esteem; even so, we often focus

and fret over its traits or passions that

miss the mark, setting out to sand,

trim, pound, or suffer into shape –

one worthy of the mission.

 

Yet, what if we are to see and be

the distinction less self, the generic

self, the commonality of human “being,”

unmasked of pretense, false uniqueness,

reacting to see and perceive the self that

holds the spark, that cradles the divinity

itself – our God, their God – the God

that lovingly waits.
