"Manifesto Alive!" (Part III)

I BELIEVE WE BELONG TO THE WORLD. (As I wrap up what has turned out to be a rather rapturous fumbling and floundering… into something worthwhile – perhaps even impactful… let’s experience it, for now, as one of life’s myriad rough drafts – figuring the purpose of it all as being within this perpetuity of read more..

I BELIEVE WE BELONG TO THE WORLD.

I BELIEVE we are inherently WORTHY.
That as equals, venerated in vulnerability, we inherit our birthright: an ancestral power.
That in reaching out to each other, we may be taken in by the wonder in our oneness.
That in wound-awareness we can wake up to our current world, so much without – and our contributive place within it.
That we are not without social roles generated to enhance – to join – the whole of humanity.
That only through experiencing our inherent worth are we able to reach – reach outwardly! – to find ourselves as belonging to one another.
That “fitting in” is a short-term, societal betrayal of sacrosanct Self.
That we innately belong – from somewhere deep within – stretching outside of the immediate.
That we worship All in a world of purpose through accepting our eternal worthiness.

I BELIEVE we discover our PURPOSE as adults through revisiting our childhood PASSIONS.
That in parenting our boyhood selves – by learning from the Him that we still Are – we evolve.
That imperfection – uncertainty – shocks us into possibility.
That the purpose in creating is the very process of healing.

I BELIEVE life is lived fruitfully in a neverending pursuance of TRUTH.
That trusting in the process of lovingly making meaning, we might lust solely for SELF-KNOWLEDGE.
That beauty supports us in experiencing awareness.
That the miraculous is wrapped in mystery.

I BELIEVE GENEROSITY is gentle by nature.
That it gently leads us to understand that we are already understood.
That we ought teach what we are reaching for – learning, in turn, in the sharing itself.
That in transitioning from tradition to a newfound, redefined wisdom, we awaken from woundedness to a yet fuller awareness.
That in this awareness we will see one another clearly, evolving in LOVE.

I BELIEVE – yes! – that we further AWE-someness – shame-lessly – by sharing it.
That we grasp at to collapse with to comprehend –
That we are here to bear witness to one another’s worthiness.
Empathetically, in the ecstasy of kindness.

I BELIEVE in FOLLOWING UP with what was shared.
That skill is on the one hand masterful, and by the same stroke – magical. Original.
That technical excellence is achieved best by intuitive into-it-ness.
That mastery is in the way I do my work. In our orientation to life.
That excellence is achieved, seemingly silently, in stillness.

I BELIEVE we connect all facets of life together to re-envision, to re-live UNION.
That nothing is separate.
That our scars are sacred.
That in our responsiveness to one another we restore the whole.
That this wholeness is manifested through daily compassion.

I BELIEVE boyish JOYFULNESS is furthered in following our CURIOSITIES.
That curiosity foreshadows passion.
That passion provides a sense of togetherness.
That togetherness produces life.
That the more fascinated I am by you, the more I sink into your idiosyncrasies – the more universal I experience us as.
That the truthfulness of our belongingness is entangled in our nuances.
That in not conforming we form ourselves more securely to our divinity – devoting ourselves to realized interconnectedness.
That we are formed by an unfolding force – a dark facelessness, devoid of definition.
That through this darkness we experience life as light.
That life, in this light, is infinitely lived as though for the first time.

I BELIEVE in FORGIVENESS as an empowering force:
That we realize the empowerment invoked by humility –
So as to receive clarity –
That we might welcome LOVE –
Wielding our fundamental FREEDOM –
To, ultimately, find, and yield to –
FULFILLMENT as a furtherance of empowering others.

And I BELIEVE we BELONG –
Foremost, to ourselves – then to one another, in this instant –
Finally, and for all eternity, to all things in an ever-expanding multiverse –
Before, beyond, and within this becoming –
We wanderlustingly are made to be wonder-lovers –
Taste-making by co-creating the experience of loving me by knowing you –
While wide awake!
As wildly aware!
And wondrously alive –
To the reality that LOVE holds us all together –
Supports us in experiencing our oneness!
And we have all that we need by having faith –
In this abundance of LOVE that we give, endlessly, one to another.
