29. Undying and Unborn

Could it ease the collective grind

of the collective mind to remember?

Remember that what ‘I’ see as ‘I’ is stardust…

become aware of itself.

‘I’ with my bluster and mistrust,

preferences, and lusts

have eternally spun into Being.

Now ‘I’m’ a food-formed body, a husk.

And this shell, these cells, will melt back-to the turf.

But, awareness, consciousness,

is not bound to this Earth.

In truth what ‘is’ our center is eternal,

but separate egos are obsessed with forms.

And form is fundamentally finite.

But the Monad, the Divine-Self, the Christ,

remains undying and unborn.

Where “the knowledge of good and evil”,*

where separate-self thinking takes Us.

Has dominated humanity, made Us

constricted not spacious.

Will ‘thinking’, will ‘mind’, will ‘ego’s’

remain mankind’s prison?

Or can we transcend the false narrative,

Become God’s unified vision?

To see consciousness as shared Divinity

beyond just stardust, with breath.

Is to admit we are the Creator…

of each moment we have left.

But if our collective consciousness

stays chained to separate ‘I’s.

Vacillating back and forth

between individual pride and moral slides

while consumption spins suffering

man-made hell multiplies.

As separate selves crave divides

we fuel the rising of tides.

And record cries from the skies.

Decay and suffering it seems has become

the demon of ego’s grand-prize.

But the separate ‘I’ is simply a disguise.

Fundamental Oneness

is what an infinite Cosmos implies.

To Be… loving awareness**

is Divinity realized.

Realizing itself… through stardust with eyes.

Yet, “everything dies, baby… that’s a fact.

But maybe everything that dies, some day comes back”.***

The dance, of God manifesting God

is the point! Not these temporal forms.

Remember. We are Christ…

Conscious… as Stardust

undying and unborn.
