Privileged Lives
We are guests in this world:
Souls creating experiences in human bodies.
We aim to bring consciousness into a material form
To create a deeper awareness of the purposes of each visit.
By understanding this,
We learn the coveted secrets of our earthly bodies
And the journeys our souls make, as we fulfil our purposes
Within the grandiose Action Plan, carefully scripted for each lifetime.
Death is just a passing,
When our souls release their hold on our physical bodies
And escape into an amazing aura of love and light,
Returning Home each time in the sanctuary of peace to review achievement.
Our lives would hold no good,
If the experience was an exclusive barony.
Understanding that perfection is reached through imperfection
Belies the wisdom that imperfection is the ultimate life-long goal.
So, we are guests in this world,
Fully accountable for every thought, deed and promise.
The more profound our metamorphosis, the deeper we love
And appreciate the ultimate privilege of spending time on Earth.
