… thoughts on the One Being …

It is said God created the material universe – life –

to seek containment

to know mortality through life’s cycles

of becoming and unbecoming – soul making

many humans don’t see themselves as part

of this ONE Being, united with nature and

all souls throughout time – but instead

destroy themselves, each other and their home

while seeking personal immortality

pause a moment –

all we know we learned from nature

and embodied experiences – retained

in a vast field of collective psychic memory

that contains us in an ever expanding consciousness

now human elites seek to escape mortality …

cycles that feed memories to the unconscious

the hidden reservoir that dreams us

the spirit of guidance, the source that

inspires and animates our endless creativity

and enables eternal life of the One Being

 … escape towards what …

artificial, disembodied simulation?

consider what is learned through the body

inside a womb … taste, sound, vibrations, feelings … 

through relating to adults, other children

animals, plants, earth, rain, sky, stars. seasons …

from early on – crawling that trains muscles

sorting objects, rearranging them

challenged by struggle and conflict

night, death, letting go and eternal return

my intuition flashes red

with an agitated heart – I ask

what will be a human future styled

by AI and disembodied simulations

a world of regurgitated data, made

devoid of struggle or decay – driven

by visions of personal immortality?

My speculative ponderings may irritate some people.

But hey … know thyself – to be human …
