Words of Philosophy and Religion -Paper 1
written by Bob Shannon 1982
Man is not tearing down the mountains as much as he is boxing them in. He is -framing them to make them pretty and in the process he is losing them. Each man is a framer and each frame overlaps the other until we can no longer see the mountain because we are inundated with frames. Each one of us who accepts this is a part of the process.

In order to express a thought, you must give up a part of that thought. Memories and thoughts that are retained are intensified spiritually. Although language is indeed a process of creation it is also entropic in nature thereby becoming apocalyptic.

Repression is often Sainthood.

Some must share with others in order for the plan to succeed. Others must retain and be still in order to achieve a balance. Those who are quiet and contemplative should not be encouraged to be otherwise. Those who wish to share should share until they die unto the spirit.

A person’s spirit shall out—distance  their will.

The will is temporary. The spirit is infinitive and grows without bounds. Enclosing the spirit and the .will within same boundaries will cause discomfort yet the spirit is unending and shall persevere over the will. Indeed, our will and our spirit are enclosed within our body. In an effort to escape our will, we tax it, attempting to overload it ,allowing the spirit to step in and take over.

The will is guided blindly, thrashing about in all directions. The spirit is silent and flows along behind the will awaiting nothing—expecting nothing. Will has cut the path for the spirit to flow. These are the Ying and Yang. Together they are energy. In death they merge into one. For temporary is mans time and without time, all is countable.

Spirit is not now, nor has ever been confined to any one particular religion or dogma. Spirit is FREE and undeterred. It is not accountable to anyone or to any group or to any person. Spirit is its own way and words are not available to render it any definition other than one of negation (i.e. what spirit is not). Spirit may be felt and seen by itself and unto itself it is truth. One feels a strong spirit may express it or share it however this act lessens the essence of spirit. Left unspoken unexpressed recognition of each others spirit is the strongest bond of man and woman.
