Camel
Listen closely to what I am saying, brothers and sisters…
It is far easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for those who,
in the fatuity of their fugue,
have convinced themselves —
have come to ‘believe’ —
to accept as true —
that they are somehow
‘elect,’
‘elite’
‘erudite’
or
even…
“enlightened.”
Truly, brothers and sisters,
how difficult it is
for those lost in the dreamspell —
caught in the tenebrous web
of illusion,
delusion,
and pathological madness —
their heart-mind darkened
under the beguilement
the bewitchment —
of the illusory, insatiable lust and craving
for power, prestige, position, privilege, wealth and control —
to
re-awaken,
re-member
and
re-alize
the indescribable beauty, joy, wonder and peace
of the Kingdom of Pure Love —
of
which
I
so
often
speak.
Awaken and remember.
