I hate New Age people


Ok. No. I don't hate anyone really
But I do not agree with the going talk I've come across
That the devil and evil do not exist
Because when you ask them
They will admit to having experiences with it
But they claim it isn't real
Or worse
That we must turn our back to it
I don't like to turn my back on anyone 
or anything
If I can help it
I just don't
That to me doesn't not seem to be the way
I realize now more than ever
That evil comes
To block my attempts
To be happy with life
To be at peace with it
To live a life at ease (not necessarily of ease)
And I think awareness
And acceptance
Doesn't lead to indulgence 
Or susceptibility
It simply leads to awareness 
It's like being aware someone wants to kill you; being aware of it doesn't mean that you will let them kill you. I mean sure. It may be inevitable but it's not a forgone conclusion that you being aware had any negative bearing on the outcome.
In fact usually it is quite the opposite.
Come now. Truly.
It's really just awareness and without it some of us don't stand a chance. 
That's why we must be
Eyes wide open
Heart fully exposed
Soul raw with the desire for truth
for a bit of humanity; for everyone
But most especially for ourselves 
First and
Then for all others
Because there is no way to have true humanity for someone else
Without opening up your heart to them
As you have opened your heart
Up to yourself first

Quasar

have you ever seen that old show "firefly"?

It gloried sci-fi quite a bit, but it was a great show. I imagine it is how people glorified the west before it was fully settled (obviously nothing the same really). 

Anyway

It's so romantic
So intriguing
The notion that the galaxy expands infinitesimally
It's so hard to grasp infinity
God is infinity
Infinite love
Infinite forgiveness
Infinitely unconditional acceptance
Infinite inclusion of everyone in all ways
And coming home
Only means
Your heart once again
Joins with the infinite love
And becomes one with God

Maybe that's why religion fails
Because it's hard to grasp
Such an intangible reality
Just like
the infinity of space
