If...

by Dante Gabriel Rossetti


If the Gods wanted you to awaken,
do you really think you could stop them? 
 Efforts alone will not get you there. 
What is LOVE for you? 
It is a gift, the same way consciousness is a gift. 
We get to Heaven by cultivating our understanding. 
Both Heaven and Hell and also Purgatory exist here. 
Some of us are in Purgatory. 
 In the school we learn about Hell,
about the laws that bind us there. 
 So how do we get out of Purgatory? 
Simple goodness won't help. 
 We must digest Heaven and Hell to become wise. 
The machine must be disciplined a little bit
and we must remember that the mind cannot get there alone. 
We need a soul.
