The separation between heaven and earth


The separation between heaven and earth is reflected on water filled with sky.  What you in human existence label a veil is but a blindness, ever curable.  What is the big picture?  Is it heaven after physical death?  Striving for love?  Cleansing of karma? 
The ultimate truth of the matter, Beloved, is the simple realization at all times that we are not what we seem, what we appear to be.  We are the light that created us, the substance of which pure Spirit is made.  We wander through the amnesia world groping for security, bumping into fear and need with every uncertain twist and turn.  Do you not remember that your death is the gentle journey inward?  To “die” is to “dye,” to color the human egoic experience opaque, to leave the world without, collapsing inward to the unlimited. 
We have willingly chosen human existence to augment our many and varied experiences over time.  We live many places, at many times.  Worthy and ever so capable of miracles we are, and yet we struggle through the constraints of dogma.  What a life!
