The illusion cannot
Destroy the truth
But the truth can
Destroy the illusion
The created cannot
Destroy the creator
But the creator can destroy
What he created
Therein lies our salvation
The illusion cannot
Destroy the truth
But the truth can
Destroy the illusion
The created cannot
Destroy the creator
But the creator can destroy
What he created
Therein lies our salvation
When the creator
Enters into his creation
That is divine intervention
When the creator
Emerges from his creation
That is resurrection
St. John 11:25
“I am the resurrection, and the life…”
In the beginning
The Word
Became flesh
In the beginning
Man became
A living soul
One was created
One was born
The creator
Became flesh
And the created
Became a living soul
Are we descendants
Of the living soul
Or of the flesh
I Corinth 15:45
“The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
I am in this world
Though not of it
I am the creator
Within the created
Christ in me
Art: The Shadow of Death by William Holman Hunt
It is the creator
Of illusion
Who has the ability
To destroy it
Or bring it to life
Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me.”
In the beginning
The Word
Became flesh
In the beginning
Man became
A living soul
One was created
One was born
The creator
Became flesh
And the created
Became a living soul
Are we descendants
Of the living soul
Or the flesh
I Corinth 15:45-46
“The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
Our divine nature
Underlies our human nature
Therefore the divine
Will rise through the human
The creator through the created
The created cannot
Destroy the creator
But the creator can destroy
What he created
The illusion cannot
Destroy the truth
But the truth
Can destroy the illusion
Therein lies our salvation
The creator is the cause of creation
Creation is the effect of the creator
By knowledge of the cause
The nature of the effect is known
One became two
So one could live
For if one lives
All live
+++++++
The creator sleeps in his creation
In the beginning
We have the Creator
And his creation
Everything he created was good
From his creation
He creates another
A help meet
Because it is not good
That man be alone
They are different
But the same
The two are one
Husband and wife
Genesis 2:24
“…and they shall be one flesh.”
St. John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
