Q: What is Ultimate Reality?

flesh and blood
vigor
The Fire in your veins
is Ultimate Reality
the life you live
is Ultimate Reality
your passion
your purpose
this is Ultimate Reality
you create your reality
so give it Heart
be on Fire for the life
that is in you
let your love for life
Blaze!
Ultimate Reality is the Fire
inside your Heart

Q: What Ethics flow from this view of Reality?

let all you do
be infused with
the Life & the Blood
and the Fire
that flows through you
do nothing with half a heart
nothing can be done
with half a heart
do it all

everything
with every ounce of blood
in your veins
pour your whole heart
into what you do
let it Blaze!

anger
this is not the blaze
i speak of
the blaze i speak of
is not rage
it is the Fire
of Heart Centered
Blood Fueled
Passion
for the things that light you up
what or who makes you
sit up and take notice?
what gets your attention
makes you stand erect
ears open
eyes focused?
that is the thing to pour
yourself into
whatever you do
do it with Passion
with the Fire in your Heart
blazing through

Q:  What Embodied Expressions -- or Policies -- flow from these Ethics?

you would dance
you would make love
you would light fires
bonfires
blazing bonfires
and dance around them
maybe even in them
(it’s possible)
and their Fire & your Fire
would become One
you would feed each other
this way of being would
strengthen your cause
your blood would boil in the best way
it would overflow
like lava
uncontainable

set the world ablaze
with the Love inside you

i highly recommend
making love
feeling desire
letting yourself
feel and be
Alive

it’s magic when
sparks fly
do all you can
to tend and stoke
the fire inside you
Blaze!

Q:  What challenges do you anticipate?

you do not yet understand Fire
you do not yet respect it
you fear it
you see it as a destructive force
but it is Life
Fire is Life

you fear you will
burn too hot
you fear your own Heart
(that’s understandable)
but Fire was meant
to burn
the Fire inside you
isn’t meant to be
quenched
Blaze!

you’re afraid you will go out
that it will all go out
learn to tend the fire
to honor it
to feed it
to desire it be
hotter and hotter
learn to stand in the heat
of your own inextinguishable Fire
let it Blaze!

Q:  What is the Ideal Society?

the Ideal Society is where
every member is alive!
on Fire!
glowing with the Red Heart
that is in them
in the Ideal Society
no one is afraid
to burn
to glow
even to burn out
there would be those
in every stage:
embers
blazes
all being tended
even the ash
the Ideal Society would honor
what Fire has burned away
the Ideal Society would tend
the Fire in each Human Heart
in each home
in each community
i see a Fire of the World
from which every other fire
is lit
what if you were connected
in such a way --
by a Communal Blaze?
what a world it would be
if you set your Hearts on Fire
it would be magnificent!

Q:  Do you have any final thoughts?

let yourself make love
and enjoy it
say More! More! More, please!
let the Fire blaze in your Heart
and flow through your veins
let the Love that is Light
and the Love that is Warmth
and the Love that is Alive
course through you
set Fire to your Root
let it Blaze!
