Wholeness IS

Wholeness is

though our culture says were not

Feeling separate

we becomes a stranger

a stranger to oneself

a stranger to the world

we becomes stuck in

a perceived hostile environment

taught into us

through inculturated trauma and

the suppression of our innate

wonder and curiosity

we build up the image of of separation

and due to the traumas of growing up

builds artificial walls of defensiveness

and arbitrary ideas of self aggrandizement

becoming a stranger of isolation

here we create the idea of hate and otherness

war and violence

oppression and destruction

yet, these all stem from a culture that is

telling us a message that is false

a message that says

there is something wrong in us

a message that says that hierarchy is okay

that oppression is the nature of who we are

and that materialistic wealth is success

it tells us a message that

we need to control

and destroy nature in order to live

even though that destruction includes ourselves

we are taught to believe

even in things

that say slavery is okay, sexism is okay

and if we don’t believe in this

we will go to hell

have you ever stopped to think

that this belief is its own hell

this is not truth

the truth is

that the immeasurable wholeness that

flows through all things

what some call God

Tao or buddha nature

is YOU

the fact is

you are

ONE

with the entire universe

this illustrates a very different way of living

our cultural power structures are deeply

frightened by this and will

try and crucify anyone who speaks

out truth to this interconnectivity

and shared egalitarian existence

with all things

for this seeing

doesn’t flow with a dysfunctional

oppressive culture

for this seeing is free

alive and full of love

wholeness is within you

me

all of us

the plants

animals

soil

air

stars

dark matter

all of it and

beyond it

isness

the presence of now

is wholeness

in the quiet

or in nature’s bosom

one can directly

enter into this

presence

the start of a real revolution

begins with

letting go

to the ultimate truth

that is beyond subjective and objective perspective

it is

and always is

within all of us

and it cares less if you belief or not

it is here within you regardless

here in this presence

no matter who you are

what you dress like

what religion you come from

whether you are atheist or spiritual

what color your skin is

no matter who you identify as

whether you are rich or poor

animal or plant

we are one

we are whole

we are love
