Original shame not original sin.

Did we run so far away from our father, afraid to look back for fear of retribution, constantly aware of his warm breathe on the back of our necks, breathe that warned us that he was still behind, chasing us - sending a shiver down the spines of those with shame laden hearts at what we had done. And the shame, did it not grow out of all proportion until it's burden filled our hearts with fears and then desires to protect ourselves from fear. and from these fears were not sufferings born, and from these desires great poverty?

Look back, the path you want is behind you. Look back and see that from which you came, calling you back, wellcoming you back....the prodigal son, have no shame. The road back home is bathed in light, no darkness, no pain and when you re encounter those fear laden events that have gone before and must be encountered again the light will show you that there was never anything to fear in the first place - it was your panick to get away that caused you to trip, stumble and fall. Lose your shame, cut away your desires, kill your fears, the father still loves you, that is all you need to know.

Yes,there is always a way back,that door never closes,nor does that heart.
It is easy to throw the baby out with the bath water and discard "the one" along with the things that have not worked for us,or,no longer work for us.
The spiritual father is our only hope,yet we cannot see the wood for the trees always.
Blind faith is not the way.Relationship is what the Father requires,and what we need.We only need to stop!........and listen.
If you are a pure spiritual being,without a bodily costume of your own,you need to work through others to make things happen.We can be instruments,by switching off the "I" and letting go,surrendering to the knowledgeful one,the blissful one,the merciful one.
