Liberate Your Imagination

I discovered Rob Brezsny over a year ago, likely stumbling or digging metaphysical websites. His monthly column, entitled 'Freewill Astrology' drew me in due to his cosmically prosaic way with words. His inner connectiveness to truth is what's kept me there.

What follows below is far better than anything i can encapsulate as to the beautiful, sea-creatures of inexplicable goodness that he is and that we are, save to whisper one word in your ear:

(remember).

Let me remind you who you really are: You are one of the chosen ones. You're a luminous being. A primordial miracle. A resplendent avatar. You are a deity in disguise--not a Buddha or a Christ, but of the same lineage and made from the same mojo.

I want to be sure you get what I'm saying. You're an immortal messiah. You have been around since the beginning of time and will be here after the end. Every day and in every way, you're getting better at playing the mysterious master game we all dreamed up together before the Big Bang bloomed.

Let me put it another way. You're a rebel creator longing to make the whole universe your home and sanctuary. You are a dissident bodhisattva joyfully struggling to germinate the seeds of divine love that are packed inside every moment.

It's time to remember. You are a shimmering burst of spiral hallelujahs that has temporarily taken on the form of a human being, agreeing to endure amnesia about your true origins. And why did you do that? Because it was the best way to forge the exquisitely unique and robust identity that would make you such an elemental force in our 14-billion-year campaign to bring heaven all the way down to earth."
