THE REALITY OF THE SOUL


      I don't dream at night anymore
      The memories
      The reality of the night
      I awake in a sweat

      You wonder why
      I can't talk about the things I see
      Still you hold me
      And make me settle into a peace realm

      Today I went into a peaceful place
      Deep into meditation
      I left my body behind
      I saw the universe as it is

      An old woman came to me
      She held out her hand
      It wasn't physical
      But a manifestation of thought and energy

      She touched me with wisdom
      Reached inside to find my inner peace
      She began to speak without words
      I understand

      Next a man came to me
      He had the head of an Eagle
      This should have seemed
      Strange to me

      He spoke of the ancient prophecies
      Of how we are destroying the world for Mankind
      Pollution
      Evil men are seeking control

      I was awake, a waking dream
      I found myself in a circle
      The Eagle, The Bear and the Rat
      All speaking to me

      Telling me to be aware
      The future holds much hope
      And we are at a pinnacle
      Time is not what it seems

      At a moment all exists
      Past, present and future
      Is a singularity
      All happening at once

      I told them I understand
      We are everything, everywhere and everywhere
      Time is what we see in this reality
      But not what we live

      The now we perceive
      Is a black hole of thought
      Limited by the body
      We must look inside

      Once inside we can see the stars
      The Solar system and the Universe
      Nothing is beyond us
      We can heal

      Heal ourselves
      Our World
      And those around us
      Reach out with your soul

      Touch all the people
      The Souls
      Make your circle larger each day
      Use the tools of the mind

      Your body is a vehicle
      Meditation the forward light
      Touch the connection between us
      Speech the sharing of mind to teach

      The circle vanished
      I feel my self involved in the reality of all
      Mankind is the I
      I am all and all is me

      The universe of souls
      Is a part of my existence
      But my soul is everything
      One is many
