593 | BeHave in the BeeHive

behave (v.) 

early 15c., from be- intensive prefix + have in sense of "to have or bear (oneself) in a particular way, comport" (compare German sich behaben, French se porter). Cognate Old English compound behabban meant "to contain," and alternatively the modern sense of behave might have evolved from behabban via a notion of "self-restraint."

Will you notice when you're part of the Hive mind?

And will you know the queen that you're serving?

Will you notice when fear drives your behavior?

And will you know what assimilates your thoughts?

Will you notice when your will is rather ill?

And will you know what it is that forms your choices?

…When you Be.Have –

you're aligned to a "Have"

and are no longer A-Live

…you are owned and ruled –

your life force harvested

 …and what you think you possess

will in turn possess you

To set yourself free

you must first acknowledge

and own up to your Truth,

recognize your own enslavement –

but alas, can the worker bee see

its entrapment in the queen’s hierarchy?

592 | I Do Not Belong

belong (v.) 

mid-14c., "to go along with, properly relate to," from be- intensive prefix, + longen "to go," from Old English langian "pertain to, to go along with," which is of uncertain origin but perhaps related to the root of long (adj.). Senses of "be the property of" and "be a member of" first recorded late 14c. Cognate with Middle Dutch belanghen, Dutch belangen, German belangen. Replaced earlier Old English gelang, with completive prefix ge-.

I do not belong

Why belong?

longing to belong – would that actually mean we do not belong to our own self, that we are not acknowledging our own existence as whole, as sufficient, as capable? Would that then mean we do not even know our own self?

…Man Know Thyself…
What is the true meaning of these words?
And if you know your strengths and weaknesses
do you really need to belong,
When you can be here in awareness,
acknowledging your own spirit,
embodying your own will and authority,
honoring your right to self-determination,
sovereignty of self and peace of mind,
trusting your own ability to learn and grow
and live the self-directive of making your own choices,
the choices that will truly honor your own divinity
as life’s full potential?

When everything around you crumbles
will you go along with it?

 

 

591 | The Follower will Fall Lower

follower (n.) 

Old English folgere "retainer, servant, disciple; successor," agent noun from follow. Compare similarly formed Old Frisian folgere, Dutch volger, German Folger.

...here is a little insight from my own journey, to elaborate on the point I make with the title The Follower will Fall Lower...

whether it's a person, people, a group - religion, spirituality, school of thought...
whenever we follow, we fall low - and why is that?

because we place our trust and hope outside of ourselves - making something or someone more than our own authority

without self directive principle, self-trust and integrity - we fall lower than our true self, our full potential to be and live Integrity

the follower has no authority - he follows the script of another
the follower has no voice - he follows the word of another
the follower has no integrity - he seeks to become whole through something or someone outside of self
the follower has no insight - he seeks external validation
the follower has no standing - he depends on something or someone outside of self

and so the follower will fall lower
than his full and utmost potential
his own deepest truth
and his own capacity to fulfill his own destiny

will you know when you follow?
will you know when you fall low?

will you know when you act out of inferiority?
will you know when you move out of fear?

how will you know?
how will you stand?
and will you have the courage to acknowledge your own delusion?

delusion (n.) 

"act of misleading someone," early 15c.; as a form of mental derangement, 1550s, from Latin delusionem (nominative delusio) "a deceiving," noun of action from past participle stem of deludere (see delude).

Technically, delusion is a belief that, though false, has been surrendered to and accepted by the whole mind as a truth; illusion is an impression that, though false, is entertained provisionally on the recommendation of the senses or the imagination, but awaits full acceptance and may not influence action. Delusions of grandeur, the exact phrase, is recorded from 1840, though the two words were in close association for some time before that.
