(Lilith) The most surrendered are the most connected. You must face the view with little fear. Your compulsion to be sincere calls to your greatness. The greatness of the world within becomes the story of dreams and nightmares. For like life, you tap into it, and where it begins and goes. Are you not one of the shadow and light? Are you, not the threshing of skin from bone, woven and unwoven? And dare you ache with life, and be alongside it. Yearn with us, and know that your yearning should be untamed and unmatched by others. All these things will not go unnoticed. You must ache to live, and live with a great aching.
(Lilith) We hail those who are not seen. Why chase the unworthy? Yet you offer them your worthiness as if you belonged to their broken promises. As if they were deserving of worship. They are but a fallen hierarchy, slothful in their misuse of notions of power. You granted them parts of you, now crying out for restitution. They are driftwood, deserving to be cast into the vastness of their oceans. The Seeing of you is deserved by those who have bridged a connection. By those who have notched in you their authenticity. Those who see you are those who recognise the remembered.
(Lilith) We know that those who are often deemed unholy are not those who have gone against god; instead, they are the ones who have gone against themselves. Gone against their imperfections, their admittance that they can do wrong.
The perfect are those who have wrought the most bane, for they do the greatest evil to others. In their ideal, they disconnect, which is the source of great illness in the world. To deny your capacity to harm is to dwell in it. If you have never embraced your capacity to harm, then you are likely to do the most of it. It is your unseeing of this aspect of yourself that binds you to hurt others the most.
(Lilith) Desire is intrinsic to being alive. Have you not desired finer things? And given in to your lust at times. And lust will reveal to you its true purpose. To lead you into temptation. And into that, you must go. Temptation is the explorer’s worn gown, speaking of all the journeys it has been: mottled, torn, only to be healed again to journey once more.
It is through desire and lust that you shall seek after. How do you know what’s true unless you have arrived at its fingertips? And if lust and desire’s outcome is revealing, then it is for you. And if its outcome is not so, then seek desire’s touch elsewhere. Lead not into temptation? We will rejoice in this when you do.
(Lilith) Resilience is found in those who do not buckle under the burdens of constraint. It is not the absence of pain but in dealing with it. They are the ones finding inner strength. Strength is not offered by the pitiful well-wishes of others, who talk of doing much, and yet deliver to you so little.
Those people will move the least in your life. They should be silent rather than offer up what they don’t do. Your strength has come from the ability to adapt. The facing of odds that have often crippled you. Yet in your lameness, you have walked; in your brokenness, you have seen. And from such things, you had arrived. Arrived at a new destination. One that has yielded to the workings of life.
