What
for life, consumed with life, ever the scales of life. I want for sight, to
witness fey, as she falls into a soul. Something pulls, to yearn for death, a
person within a person. Not to submit is to wage war; but I want for raindrops,
beaded upon petals, where a streak of mud colors perception. I want for valleys
of experience, where apricots are relished in peace; but our world challenges
such sentiments, through conflict, even open discrimination; thus, we fragment,
even segregate, to live a hassled sense of peace. What if her eyes, cringe with
blood, politically assailed? How to ignore such trauma? Moreover, what if he
dies in segments, filled with faith, struggling to eat a morsel? What to give,
for faith is principle, where lessons are futile; wherefore, a conscience soul
aids in humility. I want to hassle, where patience, reason, and diligence serve
the greater purpose. I speak to a deeper conflict, one bedded in struggle,
where faith, belief, and spirituality are deemed as nonsensical. I appeal to a
higher self; where one may assert that “I need not a spiritual discipline to
explore the humanity of self.” To such a person, I would agree with a caveat;
that is, albeit the one in question may engage in acts of charity, Is it the
case that he or she harbors resentment, even disdain, for those that do
likewise in the name of a deity? In addition, I would like to present the possibility
that faith is a firmly established element of humanity. In the case of
resentment for those that practice a given faith, this may be stirred by a deep
resentment for manipulation, and self, followed by a deeper sense of
hopelessness, where one wrestles with an infatuation; for it appears as
unreasonable to take away from a person the very faith in which he or she finds
strength, especially, if the person doing the taking is firmly rooted in a
sense of nothingness. However, we
speak to an ideal, where it is not the case that the faith in question is
presenting harm to the one of faith or others. In the case of faith being an
integral part of humanity, this appears evident in one’s everyday life. We are
born exhibiting faith in the ones that we are entrusted to, and this is a
natural faith, pursued instinctively. On another note, to accomplish any given
task for the first time comes with an element of enacted faith. These are
accounts where we are with need to speak about faith where a deity is experienced.
Take the following for example: A young lady believes in a deity as Lord over
all of creation. She meditates for weeks upon the majesty of this deity. Her
heart is open, and filled with devotion. On the third day of the fourth week
she has an unusual experience, where an explosion within comes upon her,
followed by a small warming sensation, which intensifies throughout her entire
body, lasting for several minutes, which is then followed by a warm vibration
in her chest area (heart), lasting for the remainder of the day. She enjoys the
experience, only to repeat the ritual, and attain similar results, intensifying
with time. One may be inclined to rearrange her thoughts about her experiences,
where something subjective has become objective for the young lady in question.
What is this need to override spiritual experiences? It comes out of fear,
history, and a need to control. I vie for a space for tolerance, a need to
experience more than perceptions. I wrestle for a sense of intoxication, a
heart pounding with thunder, followed by overwhelming warmth, and a sense of
spiritual comfort. One may ask, “At what cost?” It is not for cost that we
hassle, for love is faith, and faith is love. Indeed, I speak to an ideal in
which many are living their lives. In its splendor, faith, belief, and
spiritual experience enhances one’s sense of purpose, want for aiding others,
and one’s love for humanity. Faith is a universe, a forest of mystical trees,
and strength employed to churn the mechanics of sorrow. In its beauty, faith is a vehicle through which we flit and
fly and experience elements of a universal self that are often neglected. There
is more than what has been created. There is a universe within that must be
explored; else, we perish at the will of a person within a person.
