When I first wondered about black eternity <br />if I had never been born taking on physical <br />form with five senses to take in the world <br />around me, shattered by the idea of non- <br />being, because I assumed I was my body <br /> <br />Religion made it all worse, teaching being <br />human was sinful as a result of a ‘fall’ then <br />requiring sinful me to love all sinful people, <br />I could not, I studied the commandments <br />and knew I was doomed for being unable <br /> <br />To love and serve people like Jesus did, <br />if I were good, yet aware of being sinful, <br />I would be given eternal life, the church <br />claimed, and to add insult to injury, we <br />might be preordained to be saved or not <br /> <br />The choice was not ours, a check-mate <br />situation! When I discovered the spiritual <br />teaching I am already a soul, an eternal <br />spirit that always has been and would <br />always be, regardless of events <br /> <br />In the script that is my life, and I learnt <br />that we orchestrate the play ourselves <br />and realized I had chosen an eccentric <br />father and an artistic mother, bringing <br />me to what I am now <br /> <br />And where I am, surrounded by love, by <br />beauty and mystery while reading about <br />electromagnetic impulses proving that <br />everything in existence has its own <br />form of awareness - oh joyous life <br /> <br />Magnificent consciousness, extending <br />beyond my body to unending parallel <br />universes - I adore quantum physics <br />for lifting the veil of being as energy: <br />loving, intelligent, aware – <br /> <br />Being, just Breathing and Being: The most <br />scrumptious experience there is!<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2010-06-23-scrumptious/
