Fool for Love, Love’s Fool

Life itself seems to be a corruption of the Truth.  Any distortion of the Truth results in a perception which is really a misperception.  Any deformity of the Truth can be classified for the most part as either comedy or drama.  Something to make you laugh, or to disturb you.  Something good or evil.  Life and death.  Endless polarity, on and on.

To me, the idea of physical immortality (an ancient dream of humanity) seems a trick of the ego, a wild fantasy to keep us ensnared to some idea that keeps us limited to being “here” (instead of perhaps being “everywhere”?).  Perhaps that very idea of immortality stems from the notion that we think (read—believe) we are bigger, more important than we really are and therefore we can change the world, and that is why we keep coming back?  Why anyone would voluntarily leave Truth is beyond me, except to say that they believe that they can help others still stuck out there in the world who used to suffer like they themselves once did.  When one can let go of this kind of falsely self-imposed responsibility to save the whole universe, then peace of mind ensues.

The worst nightmare I can think of is to keep reincarnating in physical bodies (and I presume astral and causal bodies) from the cause of Compassion and feeling constantly beholden to the whole universe.  Maybe love itself is the Ultimate Cause?  When one can stop feeling so obliged to the Universe, then Peace ensues.  The Peace of Death, of Enlightenment.

Remember the quote in Jon Peniel’s book (The Lost Teachings of Atlantis).  “Only the bleeding heart returns.”  Zain said that if one decides upon reaching enlightenment not to return here (physical life), then that is their choice, but there is nothing wrong with moving on.

Love apparently keeps us coming back again and again.  Love makes us suffer voluntarily.  Love causes us to focus on one thing, instead of the whole thing.  This is corruption of truth, focusing on a part instead of the whole.  When we focus on the whole, we are automatically using our perception to encompass all things, instead of just some part or parts of the whole thing.  Love makes us ignore certain things in favor of others.

Perhaps the poets of old are right.  Love turns us into fools.
