The Innocent Spirit
Religion cannot touch it
Science cannot unlock its truths
Until the very end man will grapple with his darkness
Inside us all is knowledge and wisdom
Inside us all is strength and will
Yet these things cannot over come his darkness
Who among us has not feared their own rage?
Who among us has not witnessed their own contradictions?
Who among us has not balanced the sanity of their own mind?
The greatest of all tools that man has created
Is a hall of mirrors, a sanctuary of denial
A den of utter self-deception and lies
We call it by many names
We pretend politeness, kindness, manners, morals, laws and ethics
All the while our beast boils under our skin (this we know)
We have hidden our darkness
Disguised our wickedness
And conformed our lives to social compatibility
We seek method and rule and lesson
Ordain principles and people and civility
All in order to deny our villainous duality
Often we recoil at our own desires
Disgust ourselves with our very thoughts
And seek refuge in the idea of gods
Then comes peaceful new beliefs
And resulting new actions
So we then make profound new testimonies of victory
Yet in the center of our eyes is the truth!
All the while we practiced our distraction
The darkness grew stronger in secret
How can I say, “it will not work”
So that it will be understood
That it will not work?
Inside of me there is an old man
There is also a mature man
And there is also a little boy
Inside of all women
There is the elder woman and the mature woman
And also the little girl
Yes the old man or old woman in us is wise
Patient, considerate, knowledgeable and true
Yes we find great peace in the older part of our soul
Yes the mature man or woman in us is potent
Willing, able, unflinching, seeking, grasping at the eternal, creating
Yes we find the reality of everlasting strength.
But for everything we gain
So does our darkness
And whatever we know, it knows
Every power we harness
The darkness also harnesses
And our battles are forever stalemated
The darkness will never fear the wisdom of the old man
The darkness will never fear the courage of the mature man
There is only one the darkness cannot withstand
This one you have always had
It is the part of you always with you since birth
This one is the Little Boy, or Little Girl inside us.
Yes men and women who unleash their darkness
Have tried to kill and wound the child
Yet even now in your life you know your child self still lives!
Yes even when we ourselves fall and succumb
And lose our faith and hope and self worth
Still we know the child in us lives.
The child cannot be outwitted
The child cannot be outsmarted
The child cares not for these things
The old man cannot comprehend the darkness because of his wisdom
And the mature man cannot beat the darkness because of his strength
Indeed the game of hide and seek is a Childs game.
It is the child who remains forever innocent when the rest of us suffers
And the child who we embrace when we are overwhelmed with life
And it is the child who saves us even from ourselves
It has been said
That none shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven
Unless they are as a little child
It has been documented
That the greatest of warriors finally won
When they laughed and played with their grandchildren
It has been shown
That the most potent of men and women
Created their masterpiece when they embraced their inner child
This solution is found in every culture
It is expressed in every story
It is revealed in every experience
Give it a try
The next time you find yourself overcome
With hatred and anger and sadness and rage
Envision the child you also are
Standing before the vile darkness
And witness how you have always had the answer
