*
we have found
that some people are born with a stronger body than spirit, and the animal body dominates
(base behaviour, selfish, fear-based, violent, pleasure-oriented)
while some people are born with a stronger spirit than body, so spirit takes control
(self-discipline, healthy choices,
applying Oneself with vigour and determination
to One's purpose in coming to Earth)
the Many swarm around a central middle, body and spirit fairly evenly matched, always wrangling control, stumbling from foot to foot while trying to stay upright.
*
we have found
some people establish high degrees of integration
body and spirit forming strong associations until
one cannot distinguish any separateness at all.
thus emerges a Self.
that is, a new being,
a consciousness operating
in comfortable flow in the place
where body and spirit have carved out space
together.
an entity of both parts but sprung
fully formed, integrated in
their child's muscle memory
cell knowledge
arbiter, judge, neutral zone,
cooperative space, enmeshing
creature of the Earth
existing only when this particular cup-full of Isness
merges with
this particular conglomeration of cells from elements on Earth.
Elements continue to exist
re-joining the Earth.
re-joining the Earth.
Isness will continue to Is, melding and dissipating into All
but not so, Self
a precious and one-time deal.
*
we suspect
we suspect
not all spirit-body pairs
in their lifetime together
integrate a Self.
(he tells me I've got it all wrong but then sighs, and says, close enough, Child.)
