Listen to the Sound of Silence
A poem about Spiritual freedom
dedicated to
L. RON HUBBARD
Suddenly...
For joy,
To be challenged
To challenge,
Thus
A
Suddenly
But they quickly vanished away
We wanted them to persist!
So we tried again
In the absence
Spectacular showers of sparkles
Our emotions exploded!
Life
Oh yes! We had fun!
We filled space with
We endowed
We made some planets
We created these planets
Oh yes! We had fun!
It was heaven, it was paradise, it was home to us!
Suddenly...
We blamed
And it persisted
Thus...
It was thee and I
But then
Perhaps
As time went on,
We built empires and civilizations!
However,
From galaxy to galaxy
Memories
Trillion of years
And here we are
We are
Seekers of truth
Yet we have amongst us those
What happened to them?
We live in a troubled world, a world of hunger;
It has been said
Will you be chosen?
Do you have a dream,
Are you living a truly fulfilling and productive life?
Are you living the life you really want to live?
Is your life empty?
There are hundreds of thousands
Will freedom and wisdom knock on their door?
Will you make a difference in your sphere of influence?
Is there then a greater freedom from suffering and pain?
Do we now stand a chance?
Can we be awakened?
What have I learned?
Do I remember?
Before the beginning
Without shadow
without light
without space
or time
was thee and I
A touch of life
flooded our souls
with an urge to create...
Adventures
to have...
for fun
to overcome every obstacle
along the way
to compete against
for glory
for fun
our need for
light and darkness,
and a place and time...
playground
to play the game of life!
spectacular fountains
of glowing bright vivid colors
exploded outward in all directions
forming majestic beautiful shapes and forms
Some
In violet blue
Others
in deep red
and dazzling white
of space
and time...
light glittered
as darkness was born
melted in rainbow colors
while twisting
and
changing forms
Our horizons extended
Silence was heard
had begun!
We were the first Artists,
the first Architects of our time!
we painted and sculptured
and made
the most beautiful pieces of art
Galaxies
with millions of planets and stars
some
planets with life,
with beautiful creatures
of all shapes and forms
with oceans and beautiful beaches,
with islands and forests and mountains,
with volcanic eruptions, with thunder, and lightening
and powerful storms
with flowers and trees,
with streams and rivers,
and
beautiful falls
We were the first Artists,
the first Architects of our time!
But we descended from heaven, for somehow
perhaps to add excitement to our lives,
we added suffering and pain,
good and evil
to play the game
of
life
In less that a second without time,
the dimensions changed,
our creations solidified
and we found our selves lost
anchored down
to a place
and time
known
as
The Physical Universe
we cursed
we lied
We even denied our own participation
in the creation
of
the universe!
the stage was set
the drama played
And we succeeded...
Did we not?
who were enchanted
It was thee and I
who made the stars
and galaxies
appear...
with magic spells
in space
these things were
forgotten...
as we dwindled away
from our native state
that was the price we paid
to play the game
of life
bodies became commodities
of the highest value
and the more we depended on them
to be seen by others, to be identified,
to perceive the world around us,
to express our feelings,
our thoughts,
and to move around,
the more we forgot
who and what
we really are
We evolved philosophies, religions, and the sciences
in an attempt to answer our own questions about
the laws of the universe, life, life after death, and
to live in peace and harmony with each other
and most importantly perhaps
to discover who and what
we really are.
these civilizations came and went away
for we never gained a full understanding of life,
the human mind, thought, the laws of the physical universe,
and man.
from planet to planet,
drama to drama
in one diguise
and another...
we left behind
a
trend
of buried
memories
covered with amnesia
covered ... with
oblivion
of great adventures!
All recorded
All forgotten
But all available
To be evoked
To be summoned
To be explored and re-experienced
To remember all we have forgotten
about the creation of the universe and
to find out who and what
we really are
you and I
on
Planet Earth
Searching for answers
Searching for wisdom
Searching...
for
true happiness
and spiritual freedom
the
elite...
who believe all we are
is flesh and bone!
sickness, pain, suffering, agony,
A world of war
that many are called
and few are chosen
a dream of a better life, a better world?
of people like you and I
People with big hearts who need to be touched,
touched with enlightenment and hope
Is there a way out?
A way back to our native state?
Has there ever been?
Can we go free?
What have I gained?
What have I seen?
Is there hope
for man?
Have you forgotten?
Do you have a beginning?
Do you have an end?
Are you immortal?
Are you free?
