Note: Many, perhaps most, gurus and mystical experts will tell you that in order to advance you have to subdue, even kill, your ego. Presumably this is because your ego interfers with enlightenment and your higher self. Honestly, that’s a bunch of bull cocky. Saying that you have to destroy your ego sets up an internal dynamic of confict where you yourself become the enemy of your own enlightenment. It’s just not true. So, rather than seeing your bodily ego as antagonistic to spiritual advance, this poem identifies your ego as a reflection of your higher self. The goal here is not to eliminate that reflection, but to polish the mirror and purify the vessel in order to allow the light of your higher self to shine clearly through. In essence, I AM/WE ARE is a love poem sent from your higher self to your bodily ego. We are one!
I AM/WE ARE your higher self,
And you welcome me this day,
How you missed me, did you pray,
While you battled night and day,
And you claimed a sacred night
Would keep all of you in plight,
Never recognize I AM
And that WE ARE hand in hand
So I watched sadly as you flailed,
In your fear and bondage pail,
And the ice around you failed,
Breath away from you did sail.
BUT I WHISPERED IN YOUR DARK
YOU ARE A SHADOW of my heart.
Don’t you see that we are one,
Foolish child we are not done.
And with my gentle touch caress,
You follow home ever steadfast.
And I watch and dream and say,
Surely soon will come a day.
When both you and I shall shout
I AM/WE WE ARE no other part.
AND our time has just begun,
Let us prance across the sun,
And like a flash from Thunder’s hand,
The day has come, the time at hand.
When both you and I do say,
Now’s the time, here is the day.
And The Veil before my eyes,
Doth no longer hide our sighs.
And our smile does grandly say,
I AM/WE ARE E’MORE THIS DAY.
And as all of you awake,
Those before you stand and wait,
And with a sweetness that is true,
Say Welcome Home, this birth is you
And as gasp leaps from your lips,
And your heart doth do a flip,
We smile and share this cosmic lark,
I AM/WE ARE, dispells the dark.
