The Thinker and the Thought

 

The Thinker and the Thought

It is said that the Lord speaks to us in silence.

Not the absence of sound—
But the silence of the soul,
when it is no longer drowned by the chatter of the everyday,
what some today call the monkey mind.

This silence is where the sacred voice is heard.

The Lord created man in His image—or so it is said.
But man, in his pride, insists on remaking himself
In his own image:
crafted by his own hands,
his own ambitions,
his own power to name, to shape, to conquer.

And so, the Lord gave reprieve to the devil—
a span of time to do mischief in the universe,
to tempt, distract, and sway man
from his true nature,
into forgetfulness.

Man, now puffed with knowledge,
insists that through his own wisdom,
He has mastered both the seen and the unseen.
He proclaims dominion over his environment—
and yet ignores the whispers in the shadows,
The forewarnings the Lord once gave him.

Man thinks.

And when man thinks,
he believes his thoughts are the truth of who he is.
He identifies with the voice in his head,
mistaking it for the voice of God,
or worse—his own authority.

Herein lies man’s great flaw:
He thinks of who he is—
but he has yet to meet the one who is thinking.

He has yet to meet
the Thinker.
The Witness.
The still, silent one
beneath all the noise.

Until then,
he remains trapped in the mirror of illusion—
speaking of himself,
but never from himself.
