The Illusions of I

I have held securely to my passions, desires, leaders, hopes, loves, rituals ...everything. I have defended them, pursued them, placed value on them all. They have been the reasons for all of my actions, thoughts, turmoil and self worth. I have judged others based on position, ambitions and caste. I knew no better. This was my conditioning. Who I thought I was. My illusions. All distractions to my relationship to the earth. My relationship with you. I've held them over you thinking that my desires were more important than yours.

This is how I separated myself. This is when my isolation was born. When I put those selfish things aside I was left with silence. Peace. When you talk now, I am no longer judging you based on my past. I know how to listen. When I am stiill I can see the motions of all things. I see how I have hurt the world. I see how I used my religions for ill. How I have warred with you because you didn't believe that my belief was a better fit. I have deceived and destroyed families and tainted the earth with the blood of my aspirations. These are the repercussions of my illusions.

Now I am awake. Free from all of that. I realize that true love is to be expressed from a true and real source. This is who I am. I am the love that forgets yesterday. I am the love that lives free from separation. I am the love that brings us all together. Self-less. I am not the illusions and images of myself. I am the reflection of the love that is all things. And you are my purpose.
