A poem

[Alalu]

As much as I would like to take credit for this one, I cannot. I found this in some book I was reading on Alchemy a while back with no named author for it.

If God knows everything there is to know,
Then I ask: how can God learn or grow?
If you knew all that was and all that will be,
Then how can any decision you make be free?
If you were everything and everything was you,
Then there would be nothing for you to do;

And there we find God, in this very position,
Imprisoned by the power of his own condition,
But there is a way to escape from this net,
All that God would have to do is forget,
Forget what He was and in ignorance find
Choice and free will, from confusion of mind;

And so God created a plane of limitation,
That confusing place we call creation,
A place of ignorance where we're free to choose,
Free to make mistakes and free to lose;
For only a being who knows not what is true
Has the free will to choose what to do;
Through us God can live, think, feel and see,
And experience He knew, but now He can be;

Yet though we've forgotten where we come from,
The closer we get, the happier we become,
With control of awareness you can return,
But you have less choice the more you learn;

Each mortal longs for the infinite's touch,
Yet the infinite longs to know not so much;

I totally love this Alalu....thanks so much for sharing with us

Personally I don't think "God", the "Creator", the magnificent "benefactor or all creation", or however one chooses to describe, ever set any limitations upon us...those were done by those who chose to want to manipulate, control and enslave us both physically and spiritually.

It is sad that for the most part, we have become so well "trained", controlled and manipulated to forget and give up on the free will we all have and have always had.

Great post...thank you!!
