The Separation

[Nowayout]

The separation
Begins with desperation
We all want it our way

The unification begins within this separation
What was parted will one day be united
We will move as one

Many voices individually

Singing as one
Rejoycing in
God's wisdom and love

I would rather be the one being destroyed
Then the one destroying
Gods Love

The Second Noble Truth of Buddha states that attachment is the forerunner of dukkha (sorrow).

The unification begins within this separation
What was parted will one day be united

It is only through the severance of ALL attachment that freedom can be attained.

An interesting take on the nature of samsara.

This one stanza essentially encapsulates the dharma of the practicing yogi pointed towards samyama. Literal corrections: then = than; Gods = God's. Pardon me, for I'm a fastidious twit!

Jesus came after the Buddha..
Yet, his spirit and that of Christ are one in essence.

However, my body will be resurrected, incorruptible, and become one with my Lord.


This was what Jesus came to reveal... to me. The Buddha missed his coming... Jesus is the light.
Mind, body, and spirit, as one.

The Body of the resurrected Christ.
It may not be your view, but that's the poetry of life.
