Spirit and Matter

Spirit and Matter

I am Aware that I am Aware

this common experience

negates the claims

of matter's independence..

Matter gained renown 

from the ancient Greeks

though over  centuries..

 alas..never was found..

Attending our experience

demonstrates once more

that Awareness stands

aware of itself..

So called matter

is the cultural wool

pulled over our eyes..

Veiling the Awareness

which in desperation

we seek..!

Sorry, Richard..!

Whenever the material and the spiritual coincide, there is the Christ. Jesus fully accepted that human-divine identity and walked it into history. Henceforth, the Christ “comes again” whenever we are able to see the spiritual and the material coexisting, in any moment, in any event, and in any person. All matter reveals Spirit, and Spirit needs matter to “show itself”! I believe "the Second Coming of Christ" happens whenever and wherever we allow this to be utterly true for us. This is how God continually breaks into history—even before the first Stone Age, humans stood in awe and wonder, gazing at the stars.
