Poetry and Sunny Hills: Death and Beyond
I had a dream last night. I was with a tall slim man in the prime of his life who seemed to be my guide. We were walking in a sunny area amongst a scattering of tall grasses and trees. A few yards away was the busy city. There was no fence or any other dividing line. We knew we could simply step a few feet over to our right and be back in the busy city.
But here and now we were in a quiet, pristine part of the natural world.
While strolling along with my guide through this virgin territory I realized I could find shortcuts from one part of the city to another. And I could do many other things by returning here and using the natural geography of this virgin territory. I could overcome many of the obstacles inside the city by coming here and bypassing them from this pristine point of view.
I could see the processes of the city more clearly. I could see the traps I had been falling into. I had a new view of all the situations that had been troubling me and how best to deal with them. I should be working to change things in a more conscious way. The only thing this requires is surrender to the necessity of being fully involved with the process of whatever work I am engaged in.
I should not waste energy moaning and complaining but simply roll up my sleeves and get to work on fixing the issue, whatever it is. This would be falling right into sync with the reality of the situation. And with that synchronized state comes all the energy of the entire universe. Because at that moment I will be embedded precisely in the movements of the whole universe, in perfect synchronicity with all of reality and all its momentum, just as each grain of sand is embedded precisely in the movements of the entire mountain it is a part of. The movement of the grain of sand is the movement of the whole mountain.
This is where I think the phrase surrender to God's will comes from. The grain surrenders to the mountain's will. This same principle has been said in many other ways throughout history.
James Harold Bath.
Here is an account of will, intelligence, and soul moving into the real life beyond this temporary physical world. A journey into our next world. This is a book which dares to be original. It boldly hacks it's own way through the jungle of ideas and observations growing untamed and rampant through this new age of humanity. This account of reality relies on one's own senses. On daring cognition. On lone judgement. It is a patient exploratory quest into understanding how to cross the great divide between life and death. It has eternity to accomplish its goal in. The start time is eternity and the arrival time is eternity. The distance to travel is infinity. That's the trick. To finish the measure of infinite experience now. To gain all at the beginning. The beginning is the finish line. To beat the clock because the clock is lying. We start when the clock strikes eternity and time crumbles to dust. Then we are there, before we begin. And we realize we never left eternity, in the end.
