A TRACING OF THE STRANDS

Holy:
aaaaaaaaa (breath) aaaaa ho! (breath) oooo, ooo!
a tracing! a tracing of the strands, a tracing of the strands
is what you seek, a tracing of the strands
shall I tell you, SHALL I tell you
how thick the strands are?
how intricate the strands are?
how woven the strands are?
(breath) so, so tightly woven in the core
so tightly woven that they repel entrance (breath)
like a fabric, like a fabric, like a fabric
tightly woven, tightly woven (breath)
like a spider's web, strong because of
the relationships, the ties, the crossings
try to dive into this place and you are repelled
it is with the sight of the Spirit that you enter
not the body
one cannot dive into this place in body
one must see in Spirit, see in Spirit
MAGNIFY! the threads and you shall see the spaces between
MAGNIFY! the threads and you shall follow them
through their ties and turns (breath)
can you reach the Source?
does the strand reach to the Source?
all strands, all strands, all strands reflect the Source
but not all emerge from the Source originally

(breath)

does the branch of the tree emerge
from the Source or from the trunk?
does the trunk of the tree emerge from the Source?

(breath)

is the Source present in the tree any longer? the seed

(breath)

the Source is a seed, but the Holy Source is still present
still present, burning in the Center,
burning in the Center
resonating in the Center,
glowing in the Center,
is the Source,
is the Source,
is the Source
and the fabric, the web fabric expands from the Source
you have seen it as a tree.
(breath) as a light encircling lights
as a mind flashing with thoughts (breath)
so see with the Spirit and find your thread
find your thread
where shall it lead you in the Holy?
what is the origin in the Holy?
what is connected in the Holy?

(breath)

ultimately, all strands are connected in the Holy Whole
but you seek individual strands
you seek individual strands, made of what?
of time? of life? yes and no
of Soul, yes, of Soul (breath)
but the strands become avenues for souls
that flash and travel through them

chrisdog: conduits?

Holy: conduits. the strands are conduits, the strands are Soul
this is the image, web within web within web
encircling the Source of all, coming forth from the Source of All
(breath) carrying Souls and Sight, Life and Song
(breath) do you know your life is a conduit?
do you know your life is a strand?
do you know your strand is connected to the Holy Whole?
do you know your strands reaches back and reaches forth?
this is what you seek, knowledge of your strand
not of the whole, but of your place in the Whole! yes!
i shall tell you this, ultimately, your place in the Whole
is to be in the Whole, to surrender to the Whole
to be interwoven to become an avenue, a conduit, a strand
of Holiness, embraced, interwove, inviting, yes (breath)
the connections made in your existence are reflected in the Holy
3
your way has been prepared,
sacrifices have been made
not knowingly, no, but spiritually, yes (breath)
be thankful, be thankful!
for the mistakes, for the misgivings
for the flounderings of the fathers
for they have shown you the Way
they have pointed the Way
even as they have failed to reach the Way
they are the shadow instructors
they reveal the shadow so you may stay in the light
and for how long has the shadow been revealed?
for how long has the shadow been followed?
for how long has the shadow been passed down
so that the light can shine on you?

chrisdog: generations

Holy: Generations! of shadow for a moment of light
a long, long night, a long night, a long journey into the night
was the Light of G-d not there?
was the Light of G-d not instruction
YES!! but in the denial, in the great denials of the Holy
there was reflected the hope the awareness of Light
it is as in all things, all things are as such
travel away from the Holy
and you shall find yourself in the midst of the Holy
so here you are, running, dancing, singing, speaking, writing into the Light, into the Center, into the Core, seeing with the Soul
what was denied in the past
be thankful then
be thankful for the addictions of the fathers
yes, yes, even as they touch you
you know their burn, you know their shadow
and you choose otherwise
your Spirit chooses, even as your body is overshadowed
