The soul is a perfect occurrence
Diluted by flesh and bone

Born at the mercy of human limitations
Needs
Hunger
Thirst
Protection
The soul needs not
The soul only desires

Joy is found, not in what we need
But rather in feeding our desires

The body is a test
Breaking down our soul,
our spirit
Upon death, we have not failed
Far from failure, indeed
We will have achieved
Faced mortal limitations head on
and said - I can do better

No longer will we be restricted
And the soul breaks free
It is not relinquished
It does not pass on
It is not released
It does not start a new journey

This
is a Jailbreak
An Escape
Leaving nothing unbroken
The soul breaks free
Free to continue the journey it started when it first formed

Life is about desires,
drives,
wants,
passions,
urges

Not needs
Never about needs

So while we spend time
eating,
sleeping,
quenching our thirst

We also spend it ,
sensing,
searching,
dreaming,
pursuing,

striving for more

Deny the physical world
Let your soul burn with passion
And be the fuel which drives you
For it is a passenger,
and this body is a meer vehicle

Pursue that which your soul aches to do with it's physical body; not what your physical body aches to do with your soul

If you feel it within you, you will experience it as it is,
Let it resonate - it is innately good
If you combat it,Β deny it,
let it berate you - it only breaks you down

The soul facilitates and flourishes
The body demands and devours

Whether an angel, rising
New form, reincarnate
Sheer Essence, roaming

The soul is free again
For no matter what the body needs
The soul’s desires will prevail
