Hay-Ku of the Day (Worldly Temptation)

"I as I Am" is
Tempted to identify
With "I as I think."

Worldly matters tempt
Me to believe in Being
Something I Am not.

I don't think we truly can be what we are not even if we try to deceive ourselves into believing it.

Excellent. We are not defined by that which we possess.

Agree, Carol. I can never not be with I really Am (in Essence, Spirit or Truth), athough I do appear to have a capacity to imagine myself to be other than I Am and, in so doing, experience the self-ignorant and alienate state of Being and Existence that implies.
