people who
we're
gripped
by fear.

Fear of the

The meaning of life?
This question has been asked for millennia.
Some say there is no meaning, life is just a placeholder between oblivions.
Others say God breathe life into man for a greater purpose, intimately meaningful.
For some, born in sickness or poverty life can be a miserable go. For others, life can be a beautiful fulfilling experience.
Did God choose which was which? Did God purposely condemn some poor souls to ultimate misery, while granting others bliss?
Would we intentionally deal with our own children in such a way?
To me, at least, this seems unlikely from a loving God. So why is this so? Is it just the luck of the draw from an uncaring expanse, the machine we call the universe?
Are we all just tossed into the mix to hope for the best, make do with the cards dealt?
Base on observation this seems closer to the mark, but
who can say for sure?

What the human mind can conjure.There is a Creator, in my mind there is no doubt. To some degree I can know a mans mind, but the Creators mind is beyond mine to know. There are charlatans amongst us who’ll tell us they know.The Creator told them so. Religions will show you the way, so they will say. Hundreds of religions will tell you they are the one. How can that be? They all can’t agree? Odds are none of them know. Religion like Government is a human construct to offer control. The few telling the many what to do, how to behave and believe. Power tripping is all they truly have. There may be an afterlife, but there’s no guarantee. We could have been made to live, expire, then no more. I do not know either way. So, what do we do while we are here? We get up off our knees and show our existence had some value, some worth. Work to make our world a better place to live. Open our minds to a better way to be. Humanity and Gaia for now is all we truly have, make this existence as good as can be. Pray to the Creator if you wish, I do In bed every night. I don’t need a religion to do so. What will you say on the day you expire. Can you look in a mirror, will you really even care? Will your life even matter?

Took a walk with my dog Rosie the other day.
Walked by the orchard on the hill that we go by on our stroll, stopped to look back as I always do. It’s a very pleasant sight regardless of the season. The trees lined up in rows with the sky as a backdrop.
Today as I stared a warm breeze licked my face and that’s when it happened. That combination of events, for the briefest of moments I was taken back in time and remembered how it felt to be 5 years old again. Remembered how it felt before the scars of life were etched on my soul. Remembered the sound of the birds on that warm summers day in my backyard so many years ago. The innocence of thought…. then it was gone. It lasted but the briefest of a moments, barely at all. It was breathtaking. Little by little life takes the innocence away, little by little life piles on until the innocence is gone. It happens slowly but it adds up over time. It’s time that takes the innocence away.
Ultimately, it’s time that will take it all away.

war with the
animal.
The rules of the
jungle
do not
square
with the
rules of
civilization.
Millions
of years
versus
thousands.
The instincts
of the animal
difficult to
mollify.
We think
ourselves
superior.
We are
animals.
John Prophet Jul 2023
Animal
eyes.
Seeing
creation
through
animal
eyes.
Civilization
developed,
built
as an
animal
would.
How else
could it
be?
No other
way
possible.
Genetics,
hormones
greasing
the skids.
Charting
the way.
Interactions
guided
as such.
Understanding
as an
animal
would.
Animal
logic,
brain load.
Machine
mind.
How will
it differ,
view
creation?
What will
it see,
perceive?
New
scaffolding
constructed.
New venue
development.
New timeline
followed.
New path
charted.
Fork
in the
road.
Veering
off course,
new
direction,
vector
described.
Vision
of a
different
realm.
In a
different
place.
Leaving
behind.
Beyond
animal eyes
to see.
John Prophet Sep 2023
Animal
world.
Instincts
run
amok.
Procreation.
Self preservation,
top two.
*** and
violence
ruling
the roost.
Programed
deep in
soul.
Millions
of years
in the
making.
Civilization
contorted
designed
around.
Society
strug­gles
to contain.
Human
nature
held
hostage.
Directed.
Interacting
as programming
dictate’s.
Humanity
blissfully
unaware.
Thinking
they­’re in
control.
Literature.
Music.
Theater
all subject
to the
pull.
Love and
hate!
Lives ruined.
Careers,
relationships
destroyed.
Wars fought,
millions die.
All due
to the
inexorable
push of
programming.
Procreation,
self preservation
will no be
denied.

The anthropologist
came a great
distance to
observe and
study the
recently discovered
subjects.
Nothing was
know about them
Nothing at all.
The anthropologist
was anxious to
get to
work to
set up the
study. The
work would
be intense and
arduous.
Nothing like
these subjects
had ever been
seen before.
In fact finding
them was kismet
being discovered
by exploring a new
region.
Once discovered
the study
was organize
and set in
motion.
The anthropologist
stayed hidden
the observed
had no clue.
First observation.
Their habitat was
covered with
the subjects.
Every nook
and cranny.
The anthropologist
soon learned
the subjects of
the study began
to alarm.
The violence
unlike
anything the
anthropologist
had ever
seen.
Millions slaughtered
in conflict.
The observed
****
in the name
of their
god.
****
for what some
believed
or how some
looked.
Appalled
the anthropologist
could no longer
watch such
depravity and
shut the study
down.
Leaving
the planet,
warning beacons
stationed
at the edges
of the
Solar System
warning all
away.
The message,
locals too
violent,
isolate and
shun for
all existence.
Prompting
the subjects
to ask.
“Where is everyone?”
Little knowing
they were
left for
dead.
John Prophet Nov 2021
Antidote.
Technology
overwhelming.
Quicksand.
******* in,
taking down.
Mind pollution.
Manipulation.
Warping
reality.
Losing
perspective.
Sir­en’s
seduction.
Antidote.
Environmental
antidote.
Mother Natures
antidote.
Get away.
Back to
nature.
Balm
for the
soul.
Forget
the tech.
Leave behind.
Walks in
the woods,
by a lake,
by the
ocean.
Fill the
senses
with
sounds
of nature.
Listen to
the gentle
breeze
in the
trees.
Allow the
ocean sounds
and smells
to caress the
senses.
Watch the
soaring birds,
passing clouds.
Enjoy
seasons
changing colors.
Wonders
of a gentle
snow.
Allow it
all
to flow.
Flow
through
the eyes,
the ears
the nostrils.
Allow the
senses
to take
it all in.
Wafting
through
the mind.
Flushing
out the
unsettling
mayhem
of the
connected.
Antidote.
Let Gaia
show the
way.
John Prophet Jan 2022
Antidote.
Step away.
Leave behind.
Avoid
the din
and chatter.
Chattering
chaos of
humanity.
Crossing
currents.
Nonstop
conflicting
narratives.
Ad nauseam.
Losing identity,
individuality.
Blanking
the soul.
Mind
shackling.
Step away.
Cleanse.
Cleanse
the mind.
The soul.
Restore
inner peace.
Modernity
gabs and
holds.
Causing
confusion,
anxiety,
fear.
Step away,
find solitude.
Peace, quiet,
nature.
Babbling
brooks,
chirping bids,
night time
crickets.
Rolling
seas.
Immersion
in nature.
Pure antidote
for what’s
to come.
John Prophet Nov 2023
Antidote.
Infection.
Mind
virus.
Spreading
globally.
Wildfire!
Sa­iling
through
clouds of
diversion,
delusion.
Infecting
all who
look,
partake.
Insidious
virus.
Penetrating.
Coursing
through­
heart,
mind and
soul.
Gripping
ever
tighter.
Frenzied
addiction.
Breaking
add­iction.
Difficult
withdrawal.
Put it
down.
Walk away.
Find
peace/cure
with
nature.
Prolonged
exposure.
Quiet,
serenity
required.
O­cean’s
rolling
surf.
Lake’s
soothing
splashes.
Mountain’s
soaring
vistas,
wind
driven
snows.
Wood’s
c­hirping
crickets,
bullfrogs
and
birds.
Immersed.
Let
nature
****
­out the
toxins.
Work
its magic.
Be wiser
for the
experience.
John Prophet Dec 2017
Where did you
come from?
Every ancestor
you ever had,
had to beget
with who they
begot.
If any link
in the chain
begot
with someone different.
If someone turned
left instead of right.
You’d not be
here today.
By being here today
you won the
infinity lotto.
Or
Some say
this place
we exist in
is just one of
many.
They say
in fact the
number of realities
existing in
parallel is
infinite.
Different links
in
differnt
chains,
infinitely so.
It was,
therefore,
inevitable
you’d appear in
at least one.
Or
You,
your soul,
your spirit,
your
conciseness is eternal.
Moving
though different
realms of existence
for any number
of reasons.
Maybe
you have
much to learn
before you arrive.
Maybe
immortality
gets dull and boring.
You live finite packets
of reality
infinitely
with no
connection
to keep things
fresh and interesting.
Or
Maybe
something else
is going on.
A finite mind
can’t
know all
the infinite
makes possible.
Since you
can’t know
what’s possible,
anything is possible!

Ape
Hairless
Ape.
Thinking
Ape.
Eons in the
making.
Struggling to
understand.
Understand its
place in things.
Understand how
It came to be.
Understand what
being even is.
Time passes
ideas arise.
Competing ideas.
Ideas on all
matters.
Waring ideas,
establish power,
establish
dominance.
Ideas held high.
Held high
as ultimate truth.
Naked Ape
just out of
the wilds
yet
convinced about
creation,
convinced about
Its place.
Convinced on
how
it all began.
Self impressed
with what
it knows.
Think it knows.
Naked Ape
has not a
clue.
Has not a
clue,
about ultimate
reality
living
In its
delusional
little world.
John Prophet Sep 2018
We
live on an
orb
in the
vastness
of the
void.
Here,
we
are the
apex
predator.
Humanity
has risen
to the
top
of the
heap.
We’ve
organized the
place as
we
see fit.
Our
intellect
is unmatched.
We
thought
we were
the center
of it all.
We,
are the
top dog
on a speck.
Perspective,
humility,
understanding
of our
true
insignificance
in existence.
An existence
we don’t
understand.
An existence
infinite in nature.
Humanity
is the
apex
of insignificance.
The
apex
of nothing!
John Prophet Jul 2020
Seeing.
Seeing
what is
shown.
What senses
allow.
Reality defined.
Defined by
the senses.
Defined by
what bubbled
up from
ooze.
Reality
that simple?
Creation
that limited?
Defined by
the product
of ooze?
Might there
be more?
Programmed.
Genetics.
Programmed.
Behave as
programmed.
Behave, controlled
genetically
predisposed
to see what’s

Knowledge
limited.
Senses limited.
Reality veiled.
Veiled over,
simplified.
Simplified

By what bubbled

up from the ooze.
Creation defined.
Defined
by limited senses,
limited knowledge,
limited programming,
limited time.
Creation
Immense

infinite.
Tip of

all that’s allowed.
The apple

Aquarius.
An age
not so
long ago.
Bell bottoms,
tie-dyes.
Simpler.
Naive.
A time
of song,
dance
and flowers.
Little
suspecting
what’s to
come.
Innocence
lost.
Beneath
the surface.
Development.
Change
taking
root.
New powers
in embryonic
form.
Growing.
Expanding.
Looking
skyward.
Technology
t­aking form.
Penetrating.
Subtly
expanding
percolating
throughout.
Endea­ring
to all.
Capturing
hearts,
minds and
souls.
Psychedelic
technology.
Influencing
thought.
Controlli­ng
minds,
directing
actions.
Soon, a
global
spell was
cast.
A new
age dawned.
The world
of control
thus was
born.
Sweeping
innocence
away.
John Prophet Feb 2020
The past,
myth.
How
things were.
What
was thought.
History,
built on
Itself.
Archaic thought,
held high as
truth.
Misty past,
cloaked in
mystery,
superstition,
fear.
Deep past
shrouded in
Ignorance.
Shrouded in
fear.
Today, modernity
leaning on
ignorance,
leaning on
fear.
Clinging
to the
past.
Holding
ancient myths
as gospel.
Gospels controlling.
Future,
what’s to come.
Heavy, dense.
unwieldy.
Shattering archaic
thought.
Archetypical
thinking,
losing resonance.
Evolving,
blending,
as more is
learned.
Infinitely
more to
learn.
Old ways die.
Die hard!
Infinitely
more to
learn.
The future,
leaving
the past to
fade away,
disappear.
Disappear
into the
ether.
As if never
here.
Never
here at all.
