Process in Grief

My fascination for world circumstances comes out of being reared
in a conservative, middle-class Judeo-Christian household in the
U.S. I studied the Bible beginning in my preteens, and was attracted
by stories and poetry especially challenged with puzzles in prophecy.
Little have I known until recent years how my biblical interests
would play such a significant role as to propel a process in grief.
I wouldn’t experience such a flourishing personal cosmology
if it hadn’t been for insightful musical coaches and professors,
personal development and integral studies, which lead to deep interests
in philosophy and psychology, and now global happenings.
Capturing other nations’ leaders, citizens, properties,
and financial and natural resources by means of munitions machined
by human beings (or computers) in the name of one’s deity,
didn’t make sense in my youth, and still doesn’t.
Moreover, my teenage years were spent quietly attempting to make
sense of the divine deity that reportedly didn’t share a
smiley face for people who were unfortunately unbelievers.
As I’ve educated and refined my cosmology since September
11, 2001, it appears my tendencies to sense and question dogmas’
subtle under tones, intended to induce and develop elaborate fear,
have piqued.
By witnessing today’s world via Internet, we can discover
the constant awakeness to juggling what and how we’ve learned
with the evolving freedom to unfear ourselves by watching illusions
tumble.
Because I’m wholly interested in the intelligence of the
physical heart, and its natural collaboration with the brain, relying
on the physical heart to move through these nearly confounding times
has mellowed into quite a deeply touching process in grief.
In times of profound
change, the learners inherit the earth, while the learned
find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a
world that no longer exists.

is key
to watching what’s being created.
