Debra, this reads like if the Nicene Creed met a spoken-word revival tent—and I mean that with holy admiration.
You’re channeling something powerful here: the soul’s deep memory that we’re not just biological accidents fumbling in the dark, but flickers of divine light trying to remember the song we knew before we could speak.
I’m especially struck by the line: “We are the Trilogy.”
Now that’s a mic drop the Cappadocian Fathers could’ve used.
Just a gentle monkish reminder though—sometimes the folks “marinating in hate” are just thirsty people who drank bad theology. Doesn’t excuse the damage, but it keeps us from trading one shadow for another.
Shine on, Sister.
Keep turning the platitudes into paradox and the fear into fire.
I went back and reread that line “marinate in hate” and tried to think of my thought at the time of writing. I believe I was thinking of how some dark forces are wanting us to hate each other (pitting us against another)
I understand what you mean by thirsty people who drank bad theology. I`m not sure if redemption is the right verbiage yet I do believe every soul can relight the flame of love. It only needs an ember of faith (a mustard seed) to return.
I have walked in the darkness and heard the devil whisper to end it all.
I pray and hold out faith that all souls can turn toward love.
It has been quite the journey brother Alek. At what age did you begin your studies?
I was so nervous yet trusted it as a memory instead of theory.
It warms my heart that my prose/ poetry landed in the tone I wanted it too. Not to preach, not to offend, but my way of sharing, and spreading love and shining light. 💞✨

Gorgeous Debbie. I share your vision of awakening. I’m involved with a non-profit with a vision to have 8 million people living consciously by 2040.
Very lovely! 🥰❤️

Than you, Sandra
I appreciate you say that.
