Listen to the Sound of Silence
A poem about Spiritual freedom
dedicated to
L. RON HUBBARD


Before the beginning
Without shadow
without light
without space
or time
was thee and I

Suddenly...
A touch of life
flooded our souls
with an urge to create...
Adventures
to have...

For joy,
for fun

To be challenged
to overcome every obstacle
along the way

To challenge,
to compete against
for glory
for fun

Thus
our need for
light and darkness,
and a place and time...

A
playground
to play the game of life!

Suddenly
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

But they quickly vanished away

We wanted them to persist!

So we tried again

In the absence
of space
and time...
light glittered
as darkness was born

Spectacular showers of sparkles
melted in rainbow colors
while twisting
and
changing forms

Our emotions exploded!
Our horizons extended
Silence was heard

Life
had begun!

Oh yes! We had fun!
We were the first Artists,
the first Architects of our time!
we painted and sculptured
and made
the most beautiful pieces of art

We filled space with
Galaxies
with millions of planets and stars

We endowed
some
planets with life,
with beautiful creatures
of all shapes and forms

We made some planets
with oceans and beautiful beaches,
with islands and forests and mountains,
with volcanic eruptions, with thunder, and lightening
and powerful storms

We created these planets
with flowers and trees,
with streams and rivers,
and
beautiful falls

Oh yes! We had fun!
We were the first Artists,
the first Architects of our time!

It was heaven, it was paradise, it was home to us!
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

Suddenly...
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 blamed
we cursed
we lied
We even denied our own participation
in the creation
of
the universe!

And it persisted

Thus...
the stage was set
the drama played
And we succeeded...
Did we not?

It was thee and I
who were enchanted
It was thee and I
who made the stars
and galaxies
appear...
with magic spells
in space

But then
these things were
forgotten...
as we dwindled away
from our native state

Perhaps
that was the price we paid
to play the game
of life

As time went on,
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 built empires and civilizations!
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.

However,
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 galaxy to galaxy
from planet to planet,
drama to drama
in one diguise
and another...
we left behind
a
trend
of buried
memories

Memories
covered with amnesia
covered ... with
oblivion

Trillion of years
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

And here we are
you and I
on
Planet Earth
Searching for answers
Searching for wisdom
Searching...
for
true happiness
and spiritual freedom

We are
the
elite...

Seekers of truth

Yet we have amongst us those
who believe all we are
is flesh and bone!

What happened to them?

We live in a troubled world, a world of hunger;
sickness, pain, suffering, agony,
A world of war

It has been said
that many are called
and few are chosen

Will you be chosen?

Do you have a dream,
a dream of a better life, a better world?

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
of people like you and I
People with big hearts who need to be touched,
touched with enlightenment and hope

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?
Is there a way out?
A way back to our native state?
Has there ever been?

Do we now stand a chance?

Can we be awakened?
Can we go free?

What have I learned?
What have I gained?
What have I seen?
Is there hope
for man?

Do I remember?
Have you forgotten?
Do you have a beginning?
Do you have an end?
Are you immortal?
Are you free?
