Pretended To Swim

Pretended to Swim…




(Written in 2006)

You can’t see the wind…just the rustling of the leaves…
but can you feel my spirit trying to set your Love free…?
you can move a mountain right before your very eyes…
but can you feel my spirit speaking within your mind…?

to the brotherhood…with Paradise Father, above…?
or is your Love growing colder? as you grow older…
talk the talk…work your games…say you Love your neighbor…
but hide the truth, just the same…point that finger to blame…
when your life comes to its end…you pretended to swim…?

What kind of friend is it that never comes around…
never takes time to talk his differences out…
he puts himself above you, but never on a par…
makes no effort to change…keeps his love in a jar…

Do you know the way to the spirit kingdom of Love…
to the brotherhood…with Paradise Father, above…?
or is your Love growing colder? as you grow older…
talk the talk…work your games…say you Love your neighbor…
but hide the truth, just the same…point that finger to blame…?
when your life comes to its end…you pretended to swim…?

Now, brothers and sisters, in this present age of self…
fence sitters keep their Love locked up in a mental swell…?
so absorbed in yourselves…you are deaf, dumb and blind…
is this is the reason why we are so far behind…?

Do you know the way to the spirit kingdom of Love…
to the brotherhood…with Paradise Father, above…?
or is your Love growing colder? as you grow older…
talk the talk…work your games…say you Love your neighbor…
but hide the truth, just the same…point that finger to blame…?
when your life comes to its end…you pretended to swim…?

You masturbate your sacred book and you still close your eyes…
turn your backs on your brothers until the day you die…
maybe they will find your dead bodies in that dry riverbed…
where you intellectualized truth, but pretended to swim…

Do you know the way to the spirit kingdom of Love…
to the brotherhood…with Paradise Father, above…?
or is your Love growing colder? as you grow older…
talk the talk…work your games…say you Love your neighbor…
but hide the truth, just the same…point that finger to blame…?
when your life comes to its end…you pretended to swim…?

maybe they will find your dead bodies in that dry riverbed…
where you intellectualized truth, but pretended to swim…
 
pretended to swim…

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 mor...

the first 4 of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 1st of the 28 Principles  in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number One 1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments. The Great Goal of Hue-man Attainment It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function—when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development—that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. The Urantia Book 110:6.4    On the Path to Understanding the "Mastery of Self" It is accurate to say that "understanding" the 28 principles of "high mortal philosophy" ...

Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity | What Do YOU Fear?

  arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity   What Do YOU Fear that Makes YOU Arrogant? Give Me Liberty If one man craves freedom — liberty — he must remember that all other men long for the same freedom. The Urantia Book , ( 134:6.1 ) Arrogance is Mimicry I was recently asked on social media: " So tell me please, when did you first come to think something like soul could be real, do you remember?" And my response was: Thank you for asking this question, a rare question indeed in my experience and an excellent one. (I love for others to ask questions of me.) The First Moral Decision At five and one-half years of age I made a more unconscious than conscious decision that I wanted to be  like God, based on the little information provided to me by my grandmother.  I admired the qualities of character of the idea and concept of God, because I admired those same qualities which I saw in my grandmother. To the child mind, it w...
