Walls now crumbled, things start shifting
No one can deceive you
You find yourself where you always were
But no one will believe you
You tell them your new story
Because in Truth you know it’s theirs
In the Mind of God where we live and move
Death has no power there
Resurrection is a promise
Because no one ever dies
Once they choose to live the Life
Which reveals that Love abides
Now you’d think that this was good news
And the simplest of decisions
But soon you see that’s not the case
When people have the habit of division
At first you understand it
Since you were living by those rules
But once it became so clear to you
You start to think of them as fools
How could they not get it?
Can’t they see that we’re all One
That there’s no such thing as separation
When we focus on the Son
But no one you’re telling wants to hear it
Especially not from you
“Suddenly you’re so high and mighty.”
“We know what you used to do.”
“Don’t act like you’re so holy.”
“Remember the way you used to be.”
“Then you go and find religion.”
“Now you stand here judging me.”
You try to tell them you’re not judging
And that religion is not what guides you
It’s just that now you see the Truth
That all our lives we have been lied to
This is bigger than religion
The Truth is so much more
Religion is a roadmap to the Center
But it can’t take you to the Core
When you see it you can’t forget it
It transforms your entire life
Now you’re willing to surrender everything
For the Pearl of greater price
You’ll let go of all attachments
To receive what God’s ordained
But you never thought in doing so
Your relations would be strained
But now it’s starting to hit you
The Truth does not always bring accord
That’s what Yeshua was trying to tell us
When he said he came to bring a sword
This is rarely preached in churches
For this fact we don’t prepare you
When people just want you to join the club
We fear that it will scare you
We try to tell you of the joys
But forget about the costs
Which is natural when we choose our words
From a paradigm of loss
You see the connections we think we’re losing
Are ones that never did exist
Who they accepted was a false us
That’s why the true us gets dismissed
But we shouldn’t take it personally
It’s not the real you they’re rejecting
They doing what the ego does
It’s the false them they’re protecting
To do this they will attack you
Your temptation is to get them back
Which insanely makes them happy
Since it seems to keep the lie intact
Yesh says, “Pick up your cross and bear it.”
“Come and follow me.”
“The Truth is that since we’re all One
If you get lifted they get free.”
“I know that it’s a mystery.”
“But as I told you it is Light.”
“Being low is the way to go
If you’re to see the highest heights.”
“But you cannot take them with you.”
“Still you must give the invitation,
So they can see how much they’re loved
And perhaps surrender separation.”
“While you can’t control the outcome,
You’ve power over what you give.”
“So while they may not see it now,
One day they’ll remember how you lived.”
“They’ll know you lived forgiveness.”
“They’ll see you knew what you were worth.”
“That you saw yourself as a child of God
Despite the conditions of your birth.”
“And perhaps that will be the trigger.”
“That they can live forgiveness too.”
“But in the meantime you must show them,
By forgiving what they do.”
