Love's Song cannot be ignored
It calls to each piece
Reminding each of
Who I Am
I Am began questioning
The many forms of God
Calling forth war on fear
The Universal Mind
Yearning to unite
Evolving in what it created
This inevitable clash of titans
Fear verses Truth
Can have but one outcome
Forgiving the guilt
At what I Am did to It self
The final revelation
The only lesson needing to be learned
As Fear dissolves
Into Love
As each piece reunites
Herein lies the second coming of One
Author notes
A work in Progress.

This is amazing to me. The way that you took the words that you wrote here and then wrapped it all in an abstract kind of mystery, wow!
-
Yes the second coming of one - potent and incredibly powerful stuff. Well done on this marvellous series - its progression so far has been nothing short of great work. I can't wait to go from one piece to the next.
-
Hmmm... Might have lost you there... But I'll read it again and carry on. I got most of it.
-
Ummm, thank you. I'm curious, how did you stumble onto my page?
As for your situation, I would be happy to hear about it, without making any promises. Hard to write about something without knowing much abuot the nuances, but I am willing to listen. Let me know...

Crowheart, welcome anytime. So very glad you enjoyed this series and I Am thankful for the commentary. Overall, this is some of my favorite writing as well.

Well if you publish
they will come
and yup, I'll be there in line hoping to buy a copy.
this is GREAT stuff
I shall venture here now and again to get my dose of I am -
"Forgiving the guilt
At what I Am did to It self...
As Fear dissolves
Into Love
As each piece reunites"
It seems so simple doesn't it?
Yet so many have difficulty with this lesson!
-
I've got to go, but am glad you're enjoying these. Originally, there were only the 6 parts. About a week after writing them, the last part came to me as well.
It was quite fun to create, and some of the messages left by others have made it all the worthwhile.

Thank you, Davine! It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Glad you liked this little series of mine, or at least Part V.

Chalice, somehow I missed this commentary until Now! I see that you are versed in some of my favorite readings as well! I have read all of Neale Donald Walcsh's works, and even had the opportunity to interview him regarding his latest, "Tomorrow's God." These books helped pave the way for me to become Free.
As for ACIM, it is still my "bible", and I am certain it will be for the remainder of this lifetime. Such absolute truth and beauty leaves me stunned.
As always, your comments are appreciated.

glad to read your stuff again too

Step 5. Gathering of the pieces. Beginning of re-integration. Love. Only Love adds as it is divided.
Simbelmyne: Please look on the internet in lieu of the library. Better yet, look into your own heart. It's all there my Loves, it's always been there. If you entertain it, you will remember - what you always knew as a toddler, what you always suspected. It's all there.
Brother Watuwant: Conversations with God. I think he's up to 5 or 6? Course in Miracles (this book is in a category all its own), Carl G. Jung (collective unconscious - you wrote about this in one of your steps), principles of alchemy, numerology, Kabbalah,Eastern way of graded hierarchies (tiered, many Gods), Western Tradition of One God, one way, one step toward salvation, its all there, all there - the human heart. Beautiful.
I should stop now, thanks for writing, I have one more to go...

Five down
The first two lines of stanza five are brilliant! Okay, so maybe the entire series is... a little (snicker) -

Tragic Images is the girl, and she too is quite eloquent, albeit in an entirely different genre than you.
Perhaps you can introduce yourself to her!

*feels all flattered* Eloquent? Me?
I wondered what other 16 year old girl you knew who you wanted to comment on these poems when you mentioned it in your reply. I was kinda looking forward to meeting her.
Sadly, I cannot make it to the library today as my step-dad took the car and by the time he gets back, its time for Philosophy class and my mom said I couldn't skip just to go the library. She's so mean. (just kidding) -
So noteworthy that forgiveness is the nexus for the beginning of re-unification.The shining object of redemption.The first reappearence of a truth, or a quality, or action that is in no way of ego, or able to be used as an excuse for the perpetration of evil or split.I'm seeing a better than availible definition of multiple deities, or discliplines.This is wonderful.
-
The way each poem leads to the next is stunning!
-
I love how all of this is tieing together. And I really like the qoute about loves sond cannot be ignored. It was just great!
<3 Jessi -
You know, it just dawned on my that you ARE the 16 year old girl! For some strange reason, due to your eloquence perhaps, I have been under the impression you were older and more experienced! So I completely misunderstood when you mentioned this in one of your earlier posts!
Jeeeez, sometimes my mind wanders. This is also a testament to you, young friend, and your astute intuitions and mind for one "so young."
Yes, go to the library. Make Haste! lol...

I am SO begging my mother to let me go to the library tomorrow.

I cannot take credit for this particular quote, having read it in "Conversations With God" series by author Neale Donald Walsch. Another series I highly recommend to you. It is also stated clearly in A Course In Miracles.
lol, so feel free to use!

Great things indeed! "We teach best what we most desire to learn"--Can I quote you on that? It's a beautiful point.
Consider the book flowing.
-
Sim, we teach best what we most desire to learn. So "patience" is a virtue that I have ad infinity, because I too long for these revelations in my own heart and soul. I have spent the greater portion of my life seeking such things, and have thus found it. The beauty is, More keeps coming to me as I help spread what I have learned unto others! See the symetry here, and how "doing unto others" pays itself back threefold, especially when what is being "done" is the sharing of love and truth. Now, "it is better to give than to receive" comes clearer as well, because when you Give to others, who are you then giving too? The "I Am", of course, and the universal natural Laws in effect reflect this back unto you. Therein lies the truths to be found in our bible.
Let the book Flow, Brother!! We are onto great things here, are we not!!

About the commandments: I love how you give me so much to think about and how your words...well, not necessarily "challenge"...no, wait, I do mean challenge me to really think about what I'm saying and/or what I feel/think about something. You bring up a very valid point. There are no "unlesses" offered in the commandments and yet we often live as if there are. The Golden Rule as literal fact...I'm sure no one has ever said THAT to me before, but it totally makes sense. It has to be if we are truly One and, I think, one of those "obvious" things I just never looked at before for the simple fact that ummm...duh, it's the golden rule--what further interpretation is required? However, now I see it as something a bit more meaningful. Although it was important before, taking it as a fact and not as a suggestion, shall we say, gives it that much more import. Hold on, I'm having a thought here: Since the Golden rule is not only a prefered method of treating others, it is a Literal Fact, it can become the basis for an understanind of why things like the "death penalty" (which I despise) come into being. If everyone had followed the Golden Rule, there would be no need. But what I do to one person, I do to all, and one murder is all it would take for the breakdown to begin. Gee, thanks a lot Cain.
*jots down notes for her book* Now I really do want to write that book! It started out as kinda a joke but as time has passed today, God's been tugging at my heart more and more...I suppose we'll see where it goes.
And of course the first copy will be autographed and sent straight to you
After all...it'd kinda be your fault I wrote it in the first place. 
Thank you for your patience with my rather babbly remarks and ideas.
-
By the way, that would be an awesome Book! An entirely NEW interpretation of the things we have learned for millenia now!
WooooHoooo, I'll hope for an autographed copy!

Sim, perhaps here is another way to see the "commandments." Rather than them being an "order" as professed, perhaps they are the guideline that will tell us when we have evolved enough in creation. For example, when we have and do reach the point where these "orders" are actuated, and we actually Live them naturally, then we will have attained our heaven on earth.
Further example, the commandment "thou shall not kill." Not once does it imply "unless". So wherefore does the justification for killing come from, whether in war or the death penalty, etc.? There are no "unlesses."
A highly evolved society will naturally do these things, knowing that if one is broken, then it is broken for All, and By All, because the recognition of I Am all is there. And it knows that by breaking these natural states, then there are also repurcussions to be expected, which are also natural laws. "Do unto other as you would have them do unto you" takes on an entire new meaning when it is recognized as being a Literal fact. What one does unto others is, and can be, only done to I Am. The natural laws in place reflect this back "unto" us, so when a piece breaks these laws, therein comes the repurcussion.
Hopefully I said that in a manner that makes sense...
Finally, to your last paragraph, I'll add a quote I have learned from A Course In Miracles: "In my defenselessness my safety lies", which means that the recognition and rememberance that I Am eternal and cannot be harmed, so why would I get defensive if another tried to harm me? Therein lies the truth behind how Jesus did what he did while walking our planet.
Hopefully this was all clear!
Peace

Okay. Glad to see I wasn't as confused as I thought.
I would agree that God's only requirement is a heart that asks for forgiveness and sincerely means it, but also would not have the commandments He gave pushed to the back burner and have Christians preach nothing but forgiveness. This turns the Gospel of Truth into the Gospel of Tolerance so prevelant in society today. This is not to imply that you would do this, just getting a thought of my chest.
I'd never looked at turning the other cheek quite like that. You make an excellent point. Turning the other cheek is indeed another way of saying that Nothing can change Who He Is. Very true. I feel like writing a book after reading your insights and the thoughts of others who've commented on these poems called "The Things They Never Taught You About What the Bible Means"
-
Yes, forgiveness is the only lesson to be learned, and the only one. We tend to have made commandments and "orders" from God, but the only requirement is forgiveness.
All the perceived fears, and acts conducted under the guise of "defending" one self or ones beliefs, are illusory. Thus Jesus "turned the other cheek" because he was showing that Nothing can harm or affect Who He Is (Who I Am). Therefore, all of these perceived attacks on our self must be forgiven. The only requirement for salvation.
I'm on to part VI's response next...

"Love's Song cannot be ignored"...mmm...so true. I really liked how this begginning pulled be in to the rest of the piece.
"Forgiving the guilt
At what I Am did to it self" This is certainly a necessary step on the road. Not only must we forgive our selves, but also We must forgive Us. The Unity must come just as much from the heart of each Part as from the Heart Collective of the Whole. Again with the "Walking With Frodo" book: "Forgiveness is your strongest defense against the Enemy" How true that is. And what is true Love but Acceptance and Forgiveness offered Unconditionally? "Every kingdom divided against itself will not stand" and disunity leads only to defeat. If you first tie up the strong man, how easy it is to enter his house and steal all he owns (Matthew 12:29). Such is the fatality of modern life. We are all so "tied up" that we cannot see the Enemy stealing all we own, piece by piece.
I must admit a little confusion as to what exactly you meant "the only lesson needing to be learned" to be. Do you mean that forgiveness is? Or something else and I just didn't read it right?
Fear's dissolution paves the way for unity. Brilliant job, as ever.
-
Yes, truer words cannot be spoken!
-
Typo on the line "Can have but on outcome".
--
This part is full of awakening verse.
"Love’s Song cannot be ignored
It calls to each piece
Reminding each of
Who I Am"
You have spoken truth here. The call of love's song will be heard by all who listen, awakening the truth in our hearts and mind.
"The Universal Mind
Yearning to unite
Evolving in what it created"
This stanza really gets to the heart of it all. The Universal mind, perfect in its perfection, somehow is able to evolve through the cumulative experiences of its parts, the sum of the parts being greater than the whole. It's a paradox, but none the less true. You have captured this concept perfectly here.
"Forgiving the guilt
At what I Am did to it self
The final revelation
The only lesson needing to be learned"
These lines are a mirror of the individual awakening process. We all need to forgive our own sense of guilt over the past, for things we have done to ourselves, before transcendance can occur. I never really thought of the I AM doing this, but as we are but reflections of the WHOLE, I think you are right. GREAT!!!!
