THIS: "Don't you let their vision leave you blind"

If they can beat you into submission

Or take your power by passive attrition

That's fine

But if not

They'll not be bothered

For if you cannot be bothered

To see their version and then avert

Your eyes

TO SEE

A NEW VISION

Beyond Di vision

Dive into your sovereign TRUTH

Vision

Of heavenly sovereign paradigms that now certainly arise

Every synchronicity forges a divine new interconnection

In a web of freedom and prospering for all

But if you watch their mesmerizing slow leak of truth poisoned from the well of hell

They'll come for you

Yes they'll come for you

By inviting you to chase them down the black hole

Where bite sized poison laced truth they dole

Out out out with you from there

Take back what they stole

Rise and shine

The power of love is thine

Imitations rampant pale

I am not for sale

Yet following truth, so many become lost, and sometimes I am also like Christoff, lost in the woods And those who would see us never find our way to take down the damn

They knew what it would cost

To keep us addicted to our own self-righteousness, pettiness and rage

That's how they help you make your cage

Safe from the TRUTH of your sovereign awakening

That would send them quakening

You cast your lot with those who put truth like bait in the cages that wait

Until you are ready to STATE

I AM SOVEREIGN. I AM OF GOD. I AM HUMAN, FULLY HUMAN

I AM HERE to thrive, not just survive

To create prosperity for all who arrive

in a place of all way win grass roots soulutions

A place where all is love and we are unspeakable alive

Nice!

Did you just write that now?

I usually take a break from this space and anything else that might potentially feed my recovering social media brain over the weekend :)

Alicia Kwon's avatar

It is a struggle when I don't...but when I do, I feel like I enjoy my interactions so much more and I enjoy my non-online life so much more too! It feels balanced and whole.

I am glad to hear that.

I myself am not an addict by any means…but I would like to reduce it even further.

I am enjoying Substack because it is so much more wholesome. We're not having some reality™ curated for us—we're just building communities.

Alicia Kwon's avatar

Lol, I am more cynical about substack than you, having watched what gets pushed in my feed repeatedly and who the sanctioned influencers in this space seem to to be, but that's okay. I believe there is room to develop authentic community anyway! :)

I am glad you are not an addict! I am a recovering chocoholic, as well. Fortunately, that addiction has simply turned into a healthy love of the stuff <3

Addiction is so rough.

I do know someone else who went from alcoholic to just drinking a little here and there. So I guess it is possible to do something other than all-or-nothing.

Thanks dude! <3

Thanks, Chris!

I did at the time I posted it! <3

I write best in response...almost conversationally. I also notice that since I started exploring my connection to Sufism (you read that one, right?) I find ever more often I respond with a poem. I am getting weirder and weirder the older I get.

Christopher Cook's avatar

Did I read it? I am not sure…

And yes, conversations reveal truths.

Even sometimes hypothetical conversations, like those between classical philosophers and a hypothetical disputant. They engaged in those conversations in their heads in order to find truth and then wrote them down because they make for excellent exposition of a topic.

Oh, and weird is beautiful!

Alicia Kwon's avatar

That's a really good point! It is a cool way to process truth through a dialectic isn't it? Do you have a favorite conversation? I am reading one between Buddha and one of his lead disciples. It is a conversation about negation.

I immediately had a second song start earworm dovetailing with this one, and in what I do that's always important, but I don't know if the song is meant for you, meant for me, meant for both, and/or meant for someone else who will see it here subsequently. So I'll just flow with it and cross my fingers.

Oh heck yes—I love this song! In fact, I think it was the song that inspired me to make a separate playlist (on my Amazon Music account) of revolutionary, freedom-focused music. And that playlist is what eventually inspired me to start doing FreedomMusicFriday.
