Thoughts and images
Parade through my mind
Vying for my attention
Marching through time
Even in sleep
Like ghosts in the night
They come and go
As I witness the show
Tag: perception
Transcendant
Things have a way of
Looking differently
As time passes
But the word of God
Does not change
Just our perception of it
The Word of God
Transcends time
Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Perception
We cannot
Change the truth
To fit our perception
The truth changes
Our perception
St. John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
This Too Shall Pass
Perception depends
On whether
We are still
Or are moving
If we are still
The world passes by
If we are moving
We are passing
Through the world
We are in the world
Not of it
This too shall pass
Point of View
The sunset in one place
Is the sunrise in another
Though it is the same sun
Good or Evil
There is nothing
Good or evil
In and of itself
Except humans
We are the
Only creatures
On this planet
Who have a choice
In our actions
And it is our actions
That manifest
What we perceive
To be good or evil
Isaiah 45:7
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.”
Unchanged
Time changes
Our perception
Of reality
Though reality
Remains unchanged
Time changes
Our understanding
Of who we really are
Though who we really are
Remains unchanged
Hebrews 12:8
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Perception
What is the difference
Between two things
Between the physical
And the spiritual
One is temporal
The other eternal
One has form
The other formless
One we can see
One we cannot
Nevertheless
These two are
Still the same
If we see a difference
Our perception
Is not aligned
With the eternal
St. John 10:30
“I and my father are one.”
Spirit of Truth
Spirit takes on all forms
She takes on the illusion
Whatever we think is reality
Is how she will appear to us
But she never changes
Only our perception of her
The Spirit of truth is reality
And when we see the truth
We see who we are
Because Christ never changes
Only our perception of him
St. John 14:17
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him; but ye know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you.”
He is Risen
One does not
Perceive things
Clearly
In the dark
But when
The sun rises
All that
Appears to be
Fades with the
Light of the sun
St. Matthew 28:6
“He is not here: for he is risen…”
For the Love of Christ
