I AM WHAT I AM.

GOD MADE ME AND IF I’M GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD

THEN I’M GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE;

EXCEPT FOR ME.

I CAME INTO THE WORLD AS A PERFECT SPIRIT BEING

BUT LIFE CHANGED ME,

AS IT DOES EVERYONE.

AND SO MY QUEST BEGINS

ALMOST SIXTY YEARS LATER.

THE FIRST TASK OF THE QUEST;

FIND OUT WHO I AM

AND WHAT I HAVE BECOME.

THEN, WHAT HAS LIFE ADDED

OR TAKEN AWAY FROM THAT PERFECT SPIRIT BEING.

AND THE ANSWER.

NOTHING.

THE PERFECTION IS STILL THERE INSIDE.

THE LIGHT OF SPIRIT STILL BURNS BRIGHTLY WITHIN

BUT THE BODY

AND THE MIND

HAVE BECOME A HUMAN BEING,

WITH ALL THE FAULTS OF ONE.

THERE WOULD BE NO POINT OF BEING ON EARTH

IF ONE RETAINED THAT INITIAL PERFECTION.

HOW COULD YOU PROGRESS?

SO, HERE I AM COMING TO TERMS WITH THE REALITY

OF MY IMPERFECTIONS.

DO I WITHDRAW FROM THE WORLD THAT CREATED THOSE IMPERFECTIONS?

NO.

FACE THEM.

ERASE THEM,

AS BEST I CAN

AND MOVE ON.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS.

THIS, THEN IS THE SOLE PURPOSE FOR BEING HERE.

AND THE QUEST HASN’T REALLY JUST BEGUN,

NOR DOES IT END AT ONE’S PASSING.

LIFE ON EARTH IS BUT A PHASE,

A CLASSROOM

WHERE,

ONCE THE LESSONS HAVE BEEN LEARNED

THEY CAN BE PUT TO USE

ON EARTH,

FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS

AND THE PROGRESSION OF ONE”S SELF.

AND, AFTER PASSING,

IN SPIRIT

WHERE THE STRIVING FOR PROGRESSION

CONTINUES APACE,

BUT IN AN ATMOSPHERE

WHERE THE CURRENCY

IS LOVE.

AND BEING A CAPITALIST

WITH THAT KIND OF SPENDING POWER

IS A VERY GOOD THING INDEED.
