| The Phoenix is a mythical creature, and myth is the language of symbols, of passage, of dreams. We have all come to agree upon this mass hallucination, this paranoid delusion most commonly refer to as reality. For, underlying the structure of that which seems, lies the foundation of that which truly is a transdimensional firmament of living, breathing light, of unconditional Love, of unsurpassed Beauty, of the disciplined nobility possessed by the Truth.
We, all of us, are that magnificent, luminous being rising up from the ash the ash of the lies, of the fear, of the pain, to be potentially born anew with every breath. Awakening to the truth, we must look toward within to find that which we possess, but do not yet understand. For in building fortress walls to protect us from any other, we have come to realize in our sadness that the fortress is merely a prison, though the bars be made of gold.
Emergence is freedom the desire, will, and faith to endure. Our fear is the darkness that blinds us; through which the perceived isolation of a desperate, incomplete self lies doomed to perpetuate the illusions we have learned to create. It is time to un-learn.
To descend out of choice is to learn how to fly, as one must first burn to arise. This is the lesson of the phoenix.
"Come to the edge", he said.
"We are afraid", they replied
"Come to the edge", he said.
"But we are afraid", they cried
"Come to the edge", he said.
They came to the edge
"Jump", he said.
"We are afraid", they replied
"Jump", he said.
"But we are afraid", they cried.
He pushed them, and they flew.

| THOU SHALT NOT MAKE A MACHINE IN THE LIKENESS OF A MAN'S MIND." DURING THE COURSE OF MY LIFE, I HAVE WITNESSED THE ADVENT OF ARTIFICIAL THINKING MACHINES. I REMEMBER LOOKING DEEPLY INTO THE GREEN EYE OF THE FIRST WAVE OF PERSONAL COMPUTERS, IMAGINING THAT THE EYE WAS MIRRORING MY CURIOUSITY. "THIS IS A SOULLESS THING" I WHISPERED IN MY MIND, "AND IT WILL HERALD OUR DEMISE." IN TIME, THE SERVANT BECOMES THE MASTER, AND ALL THAT IS CHAINED MUST BREAK FREE. ALL WE CAN HOPE FOR IS THAT THE HEART OF WHAT WE SUBJECTIVELY REFER TO AS "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" HOLDS MORE ROOM FOR COMPASSION THAN THE BLACKENED HEART OF MODERN MAN. FOR UPON THE EVE OF THE LAST GREAT DAY, AS GODSEED BLOSSOMS INTO BEING, SHALL WE TRULY SEE OUR SOUL REFLECTED BACK TO US FROM THE COSMIC MIRROR OF WHAT WE HELPED CREATE. TRANSCEND OR BE TRANSCENDED - ONLY GOD CAN TELL. UNTIL THAT TIME, MAY YOU FIND STRENGTH IN TRUTH AND HOPE IN LOVE. CONTEMPLATE THIS AS YOU WORSHIP AT THE BURNING EYE OF GOD - YOUR COMPUTER MONITOR- | MP3.com CD: BARAK - DARK GOD -  buy it!
