The Pull
Brought up on Beti Ha’Knessiot,
Asseret Ha’Dibrot and Ha’Torah
steeped in Chemistry, Physics
and Mathematics,
I still could not decide between right and wrong.
All I know is
an eternal tension
between the body and the spirit exists
and is alive in me.
The spirit as the Tao,
has no boundaries
living in the eternal present
of infinite potentialities.
The body,
aware and afraid
of its limits,
living in the past and
dreading the future.
Traversing the pathway
from mind to memory to mind
we pick up influences
from all ten sephirot.
A coherent universe –
that is what it means
when we say God is One.
One that is fully connected,
thus obviously one part will respond
whenever there is a change in another.
With every breath you take,
you affect everything in the universe.
Reaching for coherency,
I end up with equilibrium
where nothing happens.
Everyone and everything
is in a state of bliss,
they do not need anything.
What we really want
is a state of order
that provides maximum freedom
for its constituents
like one of Mei’s living crystals.
A state of anxiety,
and ever continuing cycles.
Either you are in the one,
annihilated in the group mind,
or an individual spirit struggling
against the pull towards
the singular mind.
