"UNTIL YOU BECOME LIKE CHILDREN"
Until
you become like children
You
will not enter the kingdom
What
does that mean?
Until
you become
Like
children
You
will not
Enter
the kingdom
We
are all mature at five
We
know the truth about the world
We
don’t need intellect to tell us
Our
hearts tell us clearly…
Adults
are a lie
Prefabricated
concrete ideas
Denying
the child within
Countless
suffering brought about by fear of children
Fear
of our own…neglected…inner…child
Fear
of God within…
Until
we let go of our concrete ideas
Allow
the creative fruits to flow from within
We
adults will continue to create
Concrete fields of daisies
Emotions of granite
Creativity in monochrome
Sensations of ice
Concretized
conditional love
Conditional,
a condition of mind, an idea
Until
we become like children
Deadpan
faces will rule the world
Until
we become like children,
Not what adults think they are…
Not what they’ve forced them to be…
But
what an authentic five-year-old is
without...all...the...rules...
Until
you become like children
You
will not enter the kingdom
The
kingdom is not outside ones Self
Its
not an idea forced contrived
It’s
divine…divinity…undivided
A
five-year-old makes it work
There
are no secrets behind closed doors
Such
sophisticated lies betray au…then…ticity…
True
sharing and play revel in…divinity
In
the kingdom it’s all or nothing
One
can't enter the kingdom with a lie
One
can't enter the kingdom with a mask
One
can't enter the kingdom with conditional love
A
five-year-old doesn’t believe in love
A
five-year-old knows about love
For
love is the divine within free to be itself
Free
as only a five-year-old knows how to be
Children are fearless with the divine flowing from within
Society says it loves its children, but do they really?
Actions always speaking louder than their words…
Adults
judge, shame, and punish the child for being divine
Adults
teach the child to think about the divine in limited conditions
Somewhere
out there in ritual…in belief…in not being
The
divine leaves to protect the child from a distance
It
is safer this way for the child to conform and obey
Thus begins the fall from grace until another day
We came to be reflected, instead we got corrected...
Until
we become like children
We
will not enter the kingdom
Love
is not a concept of knowing
Love
is divinity... flowing through...being unimpeded
This
love
This force…
Is
Creativity…
Is
Sexuality…
Is
Spirituality…
The
nameless one…
All one…
Alone…
Waiting…
Patiently…
For us…
To Become…
Like Children…
So We…
The
Kingdom…
And
play…
