HUMAN
I did my best to notice
when the call came down the line
up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
and sometimes I get nervous
when I see an open door
close your eyes, clear your heart
cut the cord
are we human or are we denser
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I’m on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we denser
pay my respects to grace and virtues
end my condolences to good
give my regards to soul and romance
they always did the best they could
and so long to devotion,
you taught me everything I know
wave good bye, wish me well
you gotta let me go
are we human or are we denser
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I’m on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we denser
will your system be alright
when you dream of home tonight
there is no message we're receiving
let me know is your heart still beating
are we human or are we denser
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I’m on my knees looking for the answer
you’ve gotta let me know
are we human or are we denser
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I’m on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we denser

O MAN OF TWO VISIONS!
Close one eye and open the other.
Close one to the world and all that is therein,
and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved.
I'm both... a human and denser!!
We all are... denser means we are more than what we seem... well, we certainly are!!
This material world is only one (not even the first, as we could consider the womb of the mother as a world)... only one of the infinite worlds in which our soul happens to experience, to gain consciousness of its existence and its purpose; where it has the chance to develop itself... here starts our journey.... which has no end!
A journey within ourself, within the universe, bound forever to our dearly loved ones and to all the other humans that cross our path and are on their way too! A journey to discover our potentials, to develop them and use for the benefit of all!
O Son of Spirit!
Burst thy cage asunder, and even as the phonix of love
soar into the firmament of holiness.
Renounce thyself and, filled with the spirit of mercy,
abide in the realm of celestial sanctity.
O Offspring of Dust!
Be not content with the ease of a passing day,
and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest.
Barter not the garden of eternal delight
for the dust-heap of a mortal world.
Up from thy prison ascend
unto the glorious meads above,
and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight
unto the paradise of the Placeless.
These
Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah have a great power on me, making me realize that whatever our experience in this world could be (long 90 years or short as a flinch, filled with happiness or sorrow), we are destinated to something far greater... an eternal existence seeking to know and worship our Creator.
Abandon not the everlasting beauty for a beauty that must die,
and set not your affections on this mortal world of dust.
Blind thine eyes, that thou mayest behold My beauty;
stop thine ears, that thou mayest hearken unto the sweet melody of My voice;
empty thyself of all learning, that thou mayest partake of My knowledge;
and sanctify thyself from riches, that thou mayest obtain a lasting share
from the ocean of My eternal wealth.
Blind thine eyes, that is, to all save My beauty;
stop thine ears to all save My word;
empty thyself of all learning save the knowledge of Me;
that with a clear vision, a pure heart and an attentive ear
thou mayest enter the court of My holiness.
