Running on Empty?
Excerpt from Men-The Gods of Love, Chapter 4: The Illusionist
When people try to fill their emptiness they’re generally not successful, because they are looking at the surface, rather than reaching what’s far below.
To feel fulfilled, one must know what fuel is needed to fill the emptiness.
It is as though you were trying to fill the tank of your gasoline vehicle with diesel fuel. Emptiness does not come from a lack of power, money, sex, job advancement, and the like. Though these conditions may exist, they are just conditions. It is an inner emptiness objectified, projected into an outer object or developed into an outer need. Let’s look at men and sex for a moment. All men really want is love! It is not really permissible for men to need love, so it is changed into the permitted need of sex. This is the objectification of the need of love onto an outer sexual objectified act.
Excerpt from Men-The Gods of Love, Chapter 7: The Shadow
Now, imagine running out of fuel in your vehicle (vehicle of life), walking to the nearest fueling station, and coming back with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge. You then proceed to wash and shine your vehicle. Upon completion of this cosmetic clean-up, you attempt to start the vehicle, and damn it, it still won’t start. The outside looks good; “what is the matter with this piece of junk?” You did not attend to the inside, the fuel. Some people just remain by the side of the road, empty, and blame the vehicle, or life. Others accept responsibility for running the damn thing out of fuel, get fuel for their empty tanks, and drive on. Sounds incredible doesn’t it? But it is all too real.
Excerpt from Men-The Gods of Love, Chapter 14: The King of Gluttony
When a person believes their worth is directly related to their outer, accomplishments and physical holdings, then those holdings become the possessor of their soul.
If a man’s soul is possessed by something other than himself, he is eviscerated - hollow and soulless.
It is through our souls that we are able to experience love, compassion, and joy, which are the only ways we can ever be fulfilled.
Many people allow their senses to be lulled into a trance-induced illusion called life. They go through life exhausted, unhappy, “another day another dollar,” or “same old same old?” Yes, this is a trance state, or perhaps as mentioned earlier, a self-possession. Our wounds are clear, yet we don’t flinch. We’ve been numbed and cannot feel pain or much of anything else. All too often life wears us down, and we wind up sleepwalking, zombie-like.
Awaken we must! It is our soul’s vital task and God-given duty. And it is through the power of our focused desire and intention that we will awaken. We must be open to, and even ask for help. This flies in the face of the macho principles of man - the knower of all, who never asks for directions. Give it up! Surrender this illusion, it no longer serves you. It is your inherent right to feel.
