Mind is the butcher's blade. It knows cutting, dividing, separating the

wanted from the unwanted. It can do nothing else. Show me a blade that can form

one out of two.

 

The blade would have it that there are questions and answers, problems and

solutions,

Truth and falsehood. There is not.

 

The blade would have it that there is Love and fear, Joy and sorrow, Peace

and violence. Truly, there is not.

 

The blade would have it That there is heaven and hell, And so it carelessly

severs itself from Wholeness And makes it so.

 

Did you think that separation is something that happened to you a long time

ago? That's only because the blade would separate the eternal moment of now

into past and future.

 

The blade of your mind is creating separation from Oneness right now, with

every thought. Every question asked is the severing of Wholeness. Every

solution sought is an act of premeditated murder. Even the search for Truth is the

pulling off of the wings of the butterfly to find the source of it's grace

and beauty.

 

As the final act of disrespect, the blade would imagine that Oneness is

somehow a melding of Love and fear, of heaven and hell: that somehow the pieces

are glued back together and given a big hug.

 

There were never any pieces to begin with. Dualities are not merged in

Oneness, but transcended and left behind for the butcher's blade to figure out how

to undo what was done. There is neither heaven nor hell in God's universe,

though the bloody mess of the butcher's blade would make it seem so.

 

 

The blade is left pondering what would be the use of Oneness in which heaven

does not win over hell, where Love does not win over fear and where Peace is

not victorious over violence.

 

Stop cutting for just a moment and see for yourself.

Is this the blade talking?

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me!
