In the beginning, from our fall, an introduction to the beast became our lives. This miniscule but relentless immersion from our essence of purity to the lostness of self, molded our delusional reality, so much so, that we deny and defend our current existence. Our justification of everything, or our rebellion against everything ensnares us in an inescapable prison of self-made mirrors in which we blame and judge others. We are trapped in this house of reflections, not by prison guards, but by our own choices. In every acquiescence, to every rebellion, we are our jailors. When we choose this or that, we are merely stepping from one reflection into another. Most, now, cannot or will not see how we create our prison, instead, casting our key, our responsibility of our imprisonment to others. This in itself determines our infinite bindings to the beast we call life.
Every moment of everyday, I watch as each and every person defends and justifies their actions, when, in our essence, is not needed. But, here we are, in the prison that is the key to our eternity. We either set everything aside, everything, or we parish from our own stubborn egotistical arrogance.
As I reflected upon my own revelations, I saw too, my own unwillingness to relinquish each and every aspect of my own humanistic existence. It was then when I realized that first, we must see our culpability in everything. Oh, but then again, here is our protective illusion screaming that this or that is not my fault, not my responsibility, but theirs, anyone’s but mine. You see, we all are everything that is God. We are the exact image of God, but we must live that image, or, we succumb to the sad pathetic cyclic illusions now defining life. Life begets life, not death. If what we do brings life to us and others, then it is life. Conversely, if what we do diminishes life in others or self, it is not life we are living, but death.
Even this message, or all other conveyances cannot save you, nor even me. It is only possible to free ourselves in our allowance of self-responsibility; you being responsible for you, and me responsible for me. It is in our dance with what appears to be chaos, not our deflection or resistance of it, that we are free. We mustn’t cling to our current existence, nor can we deny it, or we step from the trap on the right, to the snare on the left. We are the trap, for we enslave ourselves through our desire or denial of who we are at this moment, who and what our essence is, and that we are the key to the prison we have become.
From thieves to kings, murderers to priests, patriots or tyrants, we each and all are our salvation, or our damnation. It is we who must confront and accept our darkness, atone for our deeds and accept divinity’s grace, or die as lost souls.
The Beast I speak of, that was mentioned in the bible is not over there, but within each of us, just as is our salvation, our divine essence of God. There is no judgement in this war of principalities, just consequence. In either choice, good or bad, we are responsible for our eternity, whether we acknowledge and accept that responsibility or not.
More than casting all physical aspects aside, we must accept responsibility for every choice we make, as well as the consequences from our choices. When one is responsible, one’s choices are responsible, not just for one’s self, but for all beings. There is no one else, just you, and just me. From this point forward, like it or not, accept it or not, you are responsible for you and your infinite existence. I hope you choose the destiny that is God, for the Beast we have become, is upon us. ~ I Am - Wisdom

Caught my attention with "Our justification of everything, or our rebellion of against everything ensnares us in an inescapable prison of SELF-MADE MIRRORS in which we blame and judge others. We are trapped in this HOUSE OF REFLECTIONS, not by prison guards, but by our own choices..." I absolutely loved this piece! Thank you.
