Eternal Sunshine of Love

In the beginning there was love. Love stretching out… Undulating seas of love. Continual ripples of bliss. Oceans of joy. In the beginning there was knowledge. Truth. Unity. Oneness. In the beginning there was innocence. Pure light. In the beginning we were inside. Inside and all knowing. Our arms waved with the trees. Our soul swam with the whales. Our mind flew with the birds. We were children. Raw and beautiful. Dancing with the stars. Enveloped in love. We were born in a womb of ecstacy. In the eternal sunshine of love. And then a thought crept into our head. “What is this? What is love?” “Why am I connected to all of this? Why am I here?” “What is its purpose? What is my purpose?” “Am I God? Am I the universe?” We wanted to understand. It was not enough to experience and know. We wanted to understand. So then along came a snake. The snake asked us, “Do you want to see what's on the outside? Do you want to figure out where all of this came from? Do you want to understand?” We were offered an apple. And that apple was time. That is all we needed, right? Time to figure this out. And in our pride, we thought we could. We asked for time and bit in and tasted its juice. We were able to go from the inside and live on the outside. We were able to break free. Break free of that love. We were able to control our destiny. We thought we could control time! We thought we could control love! We thought we could control the universe. We invited time in and embraced it. We worshiped it. We hung time in our town squares and we attached time to our wrists. All we needed was time. With time we would eventually understand what this universe is. We became so focused on time, we forgot where we came from. We forgot the inside. And from the outside we looked in. Reaching, grasping, struggling, suffering in our pride. We built telescopes. We built rockets. We mastered the earth. We dominated and continued to stretch out. Continued to struggle. Little did we know… Searching the stars, discovering the universe… This would only lead us back to ourselves. Would only lead us back to the inside. A day will come when our search is complete. When we’ve grasped so hard to understand the outside, that we realize it is simply a map to the inside. We will realize that we can never understand. That we can never know. We will be humbled and in that humbleness we will let go. We will forgive ourselves for our pride. We will forgive ourselves. Embrace what we are. Unconditional love. Infinite love. A shining light so bright that it envelopes everything. We will return to once we came. We will be reborn. We will be reborn into the plane of love. We will experience what every being experiences. That we are simply part of an endless cycle of rebirth and all there is is love. Why is it here? What is its purpose? That's not for us to understand. All we can do is experience it. Describe its nature. Accept that we are but a vessel. A vessel for that love. Accept that we are but a soul journeying in a place of bliss, an ocean of love, a stream of joy. What has happened will happen again. Outside flipping in. Inside flipping out. To infinity and beyond. Love is all there is.
