Be Not What You Think You Are

Be not what you think you are

But who you are

Faith is conceptual belief

and like heaven itself

it needs no proof

as it transcends time, place,

history, culture and space.

Yet, as faithful as we may be,

we are not of heaven

but are beings of the earth—

Unable to divorce ourselves

from the experiences of time, place,

history, culture or perceived cosmic space.

Life is an earthbound reality

perceiver and live in time, place,

history, culture and space.

And liberation is not what we think

but what we must fight to ensure to be—

To merely seek, ask and knock

is as conceptual as faith is; whereas

fought for and won liberation

is the result of the reality of perceived truth:

you shall know the truth and the truth

shall set you free—free your mind and you are

not just what you think you are but who you are.

P.S:  To think thoughts is one thing;

         to actualize them is another thing.

         Reality is not a concept but an actuality.
