Unravelling Through Time

Awakening to our god-nature is the real purpose behind it all. We are asleep to our authentic nature, those many of us who recognize this essential dilemma of existence. This is the to be or not to be attitude that defines our reluctance to shake off the chains that bind us, rub the sand from our inner eye of insight, and awaken. What else is there to do when we come to the ultimate resolution that our physical existence and earthly personae have become too small to define us? Not simply because those aspects of our voyage have become diluted in their ability to fully engage our various attentions, but because they have become untenable definitions of our being in a truly spiritual understanding of the cosmos. We are the creation and the multi-various forms and faces of the creative imagination. We lend voice to the creation, both in it and of it, manifest or unmanifest, and we have a choice in the matter. How we conduct ourselves and for what purpose reflect both where we have come from and where we are heading. Our choices may determine our fate, and when we learn to make better and more informed choices we will come closer and closer to becoming masters of our fate.
