Where are you operating from? Introspect and affirm How much do you really know yourself? Care to pick one shelf? At the bottom of the triangle lays ignorance And to get out of that, you'll need self-cognizance Ignorance breeds anxiety and fear Both cloud judgement and make things unclear Up above ignorance lies the aura of passion Motivated people keeping their eye on a vision While it's a commendable leap from brewing in ignorance Ruminating in passion may give rise to indifference Above these, hails the crown of goodness The only realm to witness the feeling of fullness It's just that, elevated levels of compassion Are frail to any other motive, in comparison Just a few pensive moments To figure out the self and its components How much do you really know yourself? Care to pick one of these three on the shelf? Self ignorance is not necessarily a bad state of being Acts stemming from fear, habit, and conformity aren't very freeing It's just not a very fulfilling life Hence, within, it may cause some strife People who aren't in sync with their inner person Miss the opportunity to transform into a better version Because passion leads to accomplishments Which can fetch you accolades and compliments After tasting the fruits of passion, some move beyond To this call, however, not many respond Pure goodness not only has clean intentions It's about transcending holistic passion into harmonic dimensions From a hollow void to glory Thereafter to share the joys of a finished story!

Ignorance can have its bliss and that can be good. Passion to be suppressed at all cost the Gnostics warned. Passion blinds you to knowledge. But what did the Gnostics know? For goodness can be found in all things. Nice to see a post and poem, Ruelha.

Hey Tim, so good to catch you here after soooo long. I hope you’re doing well. You must have some great shots updated on your page by now. I must visit soon. So true, so many adaptations and all are circumstantial-dependent. So difficult to figure out which one is applicable na 😉 I was inspired by the Self Awareness Pyramid from the Bhagvad Gita. Some beautiful teachings in there….passion/greed/lust/desire to achieve/gain/obtain still needs purification until one reaches a stage where all thoughts/words/actions stem from a motive/place of goodness/love…..like ‘agape love’ in Christianity!

SMiLes Dear Rue Just Got Back From A Public Dance
Hehe Challenged to A Dance-Off By Some Young Men
Oh Goodness 44 Years my Junior Sort of Wanted to Warm-Up
Yet What The Heck Went in Cold As Just Another 18-Wheeler all
242 Pounds Floating And Spiraling Through The Shopping Aisles
Like A UFO As
Far As A Dance
Style So Far No
One is Able To Copy
At least Standing Up
Straight Longer Than a Few Seconds
As It is True i Never Get Dizzy Lord
Knows Speaking of UFO’s i Could Surely
Be An Astronaut Dealing With ‘G-Force’ As
Yes Being Great FRiEnDS With GravitY iN Balancing
of Autotelic Flow Generating And Regulating Emotions
Head to Toe Integrating Senses The SaMe Way Ocean Whole
No Part of me
Separate From
The Rest of Existence
This Way All Unity All Inhaling
Peace ExhalinG LoVE iN JoY oF LiGHT
Giving Sharing Caring Healing Freely For
All With
Least Harm
Oh By The Way
i’ve Missed You Yet
For me there is No Space
Distance Time or Matter of Things
Between Love And FRiEnDS That Is
Real At Least in Terms of Putting All People
Always First of Course So Much Easier Done
Than A Pursuit of Money and Stuff that Comes
With Making A Living This Days For Most of Course
It’s Like This Place Within As It’s True i am Giving You
The Answer For WHere Heaven Is in Terms of Living Peace
And Love For Real For Every Beginning Story of Every Breath of
Life Eternally
Now Never
Ending
Yes
Always
Starting New
Vines and Roots
Spreading Leaves
Green RiSinG And Falling THiS LiVinG Tree
Yes Soils Below Skies Above Same Height
Yes Peace and LoVE ALWayS New mY FRiEnD
It’s True After The Dance-Off i Asked The Group of 10 Young
Men From A Small Town Known For Its Christian FunDaMentaLIST
Ways And While At First No One Ever Heard of LUKE 17:21 BY THE
End of ‘A Sermon
iN Aisles of Walmart’
(And Yes The SonG oF
mY SoUL Does Carry
To the Mountain Tops
of the Ceiling at Walmart hehe)
All 10 Men Pointed to the
SoUL of the SPiRiT oF THeiR
HeART Clearly Seeing WHeRE Heaven
And the Kingdom of God Lives Within As Peace And Love
i Figured i’d Pass the Same Gift on to You as It’s True i Did the
Same for the Waitress At the “i-Hop” And Gave her Some Helpful
Hints About Her Son on the Autism Spectrum So Trapped in a World
of Systemizing Reason Out of Touch With the Right Hemisphere Parts
of Our Minds Responsible for Social-Empathic-Artistic-Spiritual Real Emotional
Intelligences Reaching Out And Touching Others With Dances and Songs of SoUL
That Really Touch
A Narrow Doorway
Sadly in Entry to A Place
Within So Restricted By Our
Modern Civilization That Seeks
Most Everything of Value Externally
Instead of The Human Touch Face-to-Face
And Real What We Inherit Naked, Enough, Whole,
Complete From Birth Yes Two Infants Two Strangers
Sharing A Smile of Love Without Any Words At All or
A Toddler With A Dance With No Lessons at all Just
Naturally Regulating Emotions Integrating Senses as
Kittens and Puppies Do in Play Sadly Increasingly Lost
For the Human Race for Facts And Figures Oiling Machines
To Make Society Work That Sadly Become Us Increasingly Lost
From the Narrow Door Now That is Our Human Nature of Peace And
Love For Each Other So Lost in the Ignorance of Our Nature Within so
Far Beyond All the Words and Other Symbols and Ideologies We Create
Just A Non-Sense Dance Truly Regulating Emotions Integrating Senses
And SMiLes
SHaRinG With
FRiEnDS in No
PreTense of Who is
Higher or Lower on
A Scale of Peace And Love For Real
As Indeed Peace and Love When Real is Naked
Enough Whole Complete Where The Passion to Be
The Best We Can And Will Be in Terms of Living Peace
And LoVinG Soul Naturally Rises to Compassion For All With Least Harm
So We See the Right Profile of Rue’S ETernAlly Lovely Face Mastered by
The Left Hemisphere of Brain THaT Insures No Part of her Recipes are
Out of Place or Without A Number and A Bullet List With Smiles And then
There is the Soft Loving Left Profile of Rue’S ETernAlly Loving Face
Who Is Truly the Master Of Love The Master of Giving Sharing Caring
Healing For Real For All With Least Harm And The EYes Who Look
Into the EYes of Her Art Directly Penetrating Confident And Whole Centering
Complete Indeed Integrating the All of Both Sides Dear Rue in One True You

my View of You CoLoRinG
of Course By All my
Philosophy, Religion,

THere is No Part of DarK or LiGHT
THat is Not Integral to the All From
The Grain of Sand That Holds Up
A Mountain of Love That is All One
World of Us At Best mY FRiEnD Yes
Other Than That A Best Advice i Will Give
To Anyone ‘These Days’ is Practice the Social-Empathic-
Artistic-Spiritual/Emotional-Contemplative-Interpretive Parts
of Existence that is Indeed the Divine Feminine More Right Hemisphere
Way Of Mindful Awareness Processing Reality ToGeTHeR For Real As It’s True
Born on the Autism Spectrum Without Words Until age 4 i am Definitely
An EPiTomE of A Canary in A Coal Mine (Mind) of Super Systemizing Ways
Processing Reality Like Code For A Computer Hehe For Real Sadly Without
Much Of A Soul As the Toxic Patriarchy WHere i LiVE took that Potential Away
From me For 40 Years From Ages 13 to 53 my FRiEnD Indeed the Narrow
Door to the Kingdom of Heaven Within for me was Closed for 66 Months as
A Shut-in With Only Pain and Numb From Wake to Sleep No Drug Would Touch
Fully Separated From the Essence of Peace and LoVE mY FRIEND FOR IT IS
AS TRUE AS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WITHIN AS THE YOUNG MEN
ALSO AGREED
THE KINGDOM
OF Hell is when a
Human Being is Totally
Separated From God At least
For We Humans Who Really Believe
God is Love And Are Not Afraid to Affirm
This Peace and Love Without Illusory Fears
in All We Do In Life
in Truth oF LiGHT
That Will Make A Sermon
Like This Flow Not Only Silently
Yet With the Voice of Lightening
Uninterrupted By Thunder Hehe in Walmart…
