The Evolution of Mind

What is a man?
Though his feet plant his path
And his eyes see the fortune of our plane
He cannot venture through the greatest of journeys
Without a guide

Humankind has a menagerie of spirits
Rooted in a single idea:
Our god is more powerful than us.
But how can that be?

We have created and destroyed, we have sprung
So many new ideas from ourselves
We have done so much for such a small and
Insignificant race
What can our Great Provider be but proud

Look around you
Stare at the bowels of the Earth
Gaze at the infinities of the stars
Fire. Color. Void.
Entities filled with far more knowledge than you.
Does it scare you? Not I.

Had I the opportunity I would bow before them
Reverent of their travels through the universe
The wonders they have seen...
If we let ourselves be enraptured
The void would no longer be feared
But a wellspring of knowledge and hope
A home
Our home

Our souls
The frequencies of our being
Is not separated from that
We divide our souls from ourselves
The ego and outer self bar the soul within
If we let ourselves be free
We can truly ascend
And we will be happy.
At peace.
At home.

For dying is not truly death,
But a realization of a new soul
Ready to become a God.

I love the theme and agree with it; it is very deep Emily and oh so interesting. This was filled with so much wisdom and philosophy, but your stance on life everlasting and : For dying is not truly death, But a realization of a new soul - Ready to become a God. So profound. When you talk about ego and the outer self, I love it too; we all need to stop when we feel negative emotions/anger, fear, etc. and realize, that's not who we are at all. I hope I'm understanding. Thank you. Dale

You are understanding this more than I did when I first wrote it. :) Thank you so much!

You are welcome. Love your writing as always. Y/W & T/Y too!

Interesting concept, we are debased to our animalistic nature then driven to our full potential by our faith in the belief of a higher being and our hopes to one day stand face to face as one with said deity. You could say this is the meaning to life, bravo! But I think you have it mistitled, you have one line that says it all (We can truly ascend) :~)

Thanks! :)
