I Am

Comparison

I am that
I am...
A body of water
of flesh.
Within me lives
life which knows
only my body.
A spirit also lives
inside of me...
which knows
of an external
life beyond
my own.
My flesh
bounds me....
puts a veil
on my memory.
Traps me
with the help
of powerful forces.
As my cells instinctively
do their purpose
within my body...
my spirit explores
the ancients of
a timeless time.
Just as my cells
are a part of me...
I am a part
of the world.
Just as I am
a part of the world...
the world
is a part of the father.
We are cells
 inside of a vast
and unique place
called God.

Yes yes yes. Awesome! Loved it. Beautifully written! I can very much relate to this experience. Jungian psychology has been powerful for helping me to articulate the wholeness of self -- recognising spirit in the flesh and flesh in the spirit exsisting simultaneously because Jung was scientific, but he had a deep intuitive understanding of ancient mythology and Shamanic cultures from all around the world, and he was in profound disagreement with Sigmund Freud about the nature of the unconcious. Unfortunately Freud's theories became the more dominant and drew down the veil between spirit and matter, thus imprisioning and demonising much of the creative impulses necessary to maintain a deep relationship with God. That concept of attainment, of making ourselves whole, being both part and parcel of God at the same time, of directly expressing that which is infinite and from which all possibilities may arise has many names: God, The Primordial Mind (Buddhism) The Collective Conciousness (Jung) The Way (Tao) Krishna Conciousness (Bhagavadgita) Jung was both a master physician and a great liberator of the human soul. I highly recommend him. I'm going to become a fan of you on the strength of that piece of writing alone. I had a dream last night about a Gypsy and I recognise it as you. I can't wait to read more of your stuff. Warmest regards.
