On The Book of Life

The Bible speaks at times about a Book of Life, into which the names of the faithful go. Of course, my broad interpretation of 'faithful' is far more than the members of any particular religious sect- it is the children of humanity that have love in their hearts and the courage to share this with others. It is those who are at one with the lifestream of God's 'blood'- the love that encloses the universe as a womb of experience, that nourishes all within it- and the divine will to protect this womb. Like the great oceans and milk-oceans of stars, this blood is the love of God, it flows everywhere, it reaches and nourishes all, like a wine to refresh the spirit. There shall ever be new bottles for new wine, new bodies for new partakings of God's gifts to us all.

The Book of Life, that book from which the terrible sinners are erased, never to be reborn again, never to taste the heavens, never to return to God.
To be blotted out for all time! To not exist again- to be lost, rejected, proven unworthy of God's trust! What a fate- no Earthly punishment can compare. Hence those who are clearly written in the Book of Life are quite evidently strong enough to endure even to the worst that mankind can hand out in their attempts to punish those who they deem to be wrongdoers- and along with them the occasional Holy Man mistaken for a criminal, simply because he might break their laws of common ways to relate, simply because his love may know no bounds, may know no rules, may expand beyond the false limits placed by social convention in which only some deserve love.

Yet who will ultimately be chosen by the powers that ultimately be, the powers of heaven, those that persecute and try to bury the truth of God's eternal and unconditional love, of God's forgiveness- or those who are lost, of those who through no fault of their own have been forgotten by the sons of men,- the blind, the sick, the sinners and the lost- let the great shepherd of God gather them all in, all into the great field of Love, in which all may freely graze on the spiritual fruits of eternity.

Love, Life, all are one. So have love in your life, lest you get stuck in some small puddle, whilst the great river of life bubbles happily on around you. Be not stuck! Flow, baby, flow- love is forever and forever is for NOW!
