Human

I am slipping further away from righteousness. I am feeding into the greed that my dark soul craves. When it gets a taste it hungers for more from the one who dances death instead of life. This Beast is energized by the shadows, harvests in the winter, and incites division between the Heart and the Mind. The Heart and the Mind were deceived you see…..

In the beginning the Heart was made pure, lacking in nothing. The Mind was in harmony with the desires of the Heart. Light use to burst from the Heart shining the path of righteousness. The Mind was under the Heart’s authority. Until the day came when the Dark started scowling at their relationship, saying how the Mind should be the ultimate authority. The Mind realized, with the Dark he could hide. He could be set free from the Heart that dictates his every move. Then the Mind decided to deny the Darkness, the Light was familiar and didn’t want to face a mysterious new way. However the Darkness was well equipped in negotiation and promised Knowledge that seemed to resemble the Light. Just as horrible as a man leaving his wife for another, the Mind left the Heart for Darkness. As soon as the Mind committed adultery against the Heart, the he realized the Knowledge he gained was nothing like the comfort of the Light. He now understood, that there was no turning back. The Light got dimmed in the Heart as it shattered into thousands of pieces. Abandonment, Loneliness, Deceit, Rage, Revenge, and Grief tried to put the Heart back together again. They bandaged the Heart in Fear that made the dim Light flicker to extinction.

The power of Knowledge the Mind thought that he would gain by leaving the Heart was swallowed by the Darkness. It’s gluttonous nature kept feeding at the discontentment, anxiety, pain, and continued to take away any chance of righteousness.

I keep pretending that this is a story that happened long ago and that it can’t apply to me. The reality is that my Mind still wanders into the Darkness. I have become use to the fear that wraps tightly around my Heart. Has this beast won? Is righteousness dead?  

The division of the Heart and the Mind was only part of the story. The ending has not come yet but the hope of a new Light to Righteousness has been revealed.

As soon as the Darkness thought that it had killed the path of Righteousness, Love came down. Love tore up the bandage of fear that wrapped the Heart. Love illuminated the pieces of the Heart and fused them back together. Love split the Darkness in half and rescued the Mind from the belly of the Beast. This gives a chance to start again to the path of righteousness. After the great deception, the Heart can only pump blood on it’s own. It can’t produce Light. The Mind cannot follow the Heart if there is no Light and will fall into the Dark.  I found out that I can only get this Light if I choose to deny the hunger of the darkness and accept the only thing that can satisfy the soul. Love.
