In the days since our beginning
and the moments since our end
We accept the true reality
and forget how to pretend
And await the coming savior
or the latest fad and trend
but you find you can’t buy
happiness no matter what
you spend
Forgiveness is elusive
Redemption is sublime
And occasionally there’s
solace in the whiskey or
the wine
But you'll never find
salvation while kneeling
in the pew
Jesus left the building
but the Christ resides
in you.

Whether you want to call it ‘Christ’, ‘Buddha nature’, ‘Epiphany’, ‘the Self’ or just plain ‘Enlightenment’, it is something that resides no place outside of you. It is wholly to be found within, and every single religion is nothing but a road map to lead us to that goal. Sadly, we have been fighting over the map for 2000 years.
