When the soul awakens, the search begins, and there is no turning back, no looking back. From then on, you are on fire, and the world is suddenly ablaze with light and love and glory. When the soul awakens, you will sing a different song, speak in a different language, and the sleeping souls will not hear you, understand you, and you cannot hear or understand them. Their news and anger and ritual is a babble, a mystical tongue, a distant roar. You will live your life outside of the tent, listening to the sounds of the circus.
When the soul awakens, your heart is filled with longing, and poems dance in your head, rise up inside of you list mist in the meadow. Love can find you. You are on the spiritual path.
When the soul awakens, you are filled with longing, even as the world loves power and possessions. And suddenly you see, it becomes clear, that if you do not have love, you are the poorest of the poor and true safety and peace will run from you like the rabbit from the fox. Your life will be a riddle, never to be solved.
And the riddle is this: If you have all the money in the world, and did your duty, and followed all of the rules and precautions of the angry men, and listened to all of their warnings and alerts and take all of their tests, and have all of the things they tell you that you need to be safe and wise secure, then why are you miserable and lost? And why are you not happy? And why are you not peaceful and secure? And why can you never have enough? And why is there never enough?
When the soul awakens, and you wrap yourself around the warmth that only a lover can give, then you find a peace and safety beyond the imagination of the shouting politicians and the grasping bankers and the small people living shrinking worlds, looking for likes, bristling with rage at unfulfilled lives.
When the soul awakens, our generous spirits come to life, and you awaken to the mystical power of love and love and help yourself and love and help those around us.
When the soul awakens, the search begins. And it can never end, only catch a different train to eternity.
