A place for spiritual discussion of all kinds. All faiths and beliefs welcome.

This is a space for exploration, not proselytizing. Share your truth, but leave room for others to discover theirs. Rational discourse and lived experience is welcome; dogma and demands are not.

RULES

  1. No dogma. Whatever system you want to follow is yours to follow as you feel best but don't try to impose it on others, or otherwise shame others for not doing things your way. Discussing the tenets of your system is fine but know the difference between "this works for me", "this is the only correct way" and "this is what the teachings say".

  2. No bigotry, hate, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia etc. 0 tolerance policy.

  3. No AI slop, or spam. No paywalled content. Limited self-promotion is fine but it shouldn't be your sole reason of posting here. Active posters engaging positively get more leniency.

  4. No soliciting or offering services of any kind.

Black then white are 
All I see 
In my infancy 
Red and yellow then came to be 
Reaching out to me 
Lets me see

As below so above and beyond I imagine 
Drawn beyond the lines of reason 
Push the envelope 
Watch it bend

Over thinking, over analyzing 
Separate my body from the mind 
Withering my intuition 
Misting opportunities that I must 
Feed my will to feel my moment 
Drawing way outside the lines

Black then white are 
All I see 
In my infancy 
Red and yellow then came to be 
Reaching out to me 
Lets me see

There is so much more and 
Beckons me 
To look through to these 
Infinite possibilities

As below so above and beyond I imagine 
Drawn outside the lines of reason 
Push the envelope 
Watch it bend

Over thinking, over analyzing, separate my body from the mind 
Withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind

Feed my will to feel this moment 
Urging me to cross the line 
Reaching out to embrace the random 
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come

I embrace my desire to 
I embrace my desire to 
Feel the rhythm 
To feel connected 
Enough to step aside and 
Weep like a widow 
To feel inspired 
To fathom the power 
To witness the beauty 
To bathe in the fountain 
To swing on the spiral 
To swing on the spiral

To swing on the spiral of 
How a divinity can 
Still be a human

With my feet upon the ground 
I lose myself between the sounds 
And open wide to suck it in 
I feel it move across my skin 
I'm reaching up and reaching out 
I'm reaching for the random or 
Whatever will bewilder me 
Whatever will be willed of me 
And following our will and wind 
We may just go where no one's been 
We'll ride the spiral to the end 
And may just go where no one's been

Spiral out, keep going 
Spiral out, keep going 
Spiral out, keep going 
Spiral out, keep going

Oooh, great, I certainly agree.

This happened in my life several times but the most memorable ones happened with my readings and rereadings of Ecclesiastes and the Sermon on the Mount as my faith/understanding increased.

Maybe that spiral path is straight on a geodesic.
