IcerocketIn this life
we’ve all got a gift to give.
In this life
we’ve all got a lesson to live.
There’s no right,
no wrong,
it all just is.
Yet the mind tries to judge,
with such foolish bias,
it defines and divides
where there is only oneness;
it contorts the white light
so that confusion sets in.
Don’t be a slave to such sin,
master it instead.
Tame your mighty thoughts
and calm your raging head.
Through this divine discipline
may you find your right path;
Heaven you shall win.
Peace we shall have.

The enemy of the Lion is the Elephant
— Feb 09, 2011
From its symbolism comes the awareness of power, force that overcomes all. The Elephant is King where lions dwell. The Lion only wishes to be King. The Lion roars on saying "I am here fear me" but it is just noise. He hides in the tall grass yet his pride can still be seen. He is a stalker, a killer of men. He feeds on the weak, the young and the infirm. Alone the Lion can become prey. Cats do not socialize well that Lions associate at all without killing each other is a great feat. In there inability to cooperate they go hungry, the more hungry they become the less they cooperate. All animal spirits seek food. There can be only one leader among Lions all contenders are chased off or killed. The Lion desires more then one wife. The Lion is the animal spirit of the Christian. Much can be learned from the enemies of totems. There are bigger cats then the Lion.
I have done battle with Lions before.
Interesting take. I know

Interesting take. I know that Elephants are very spiritual beings and that Lions are leaders - the trick is getting the Lion to lead properly. I'm not sure what you're trying to say - obviously you're referencing my profile picture - and you're right in assuming that I see myself as a sort of Lion. But your negative appraisal of Lions is inaccurate - soon the Lion will lay down with Lamb and all of your savage claims pertaining to Lions will be no more.
And just so you know, Lions hunt Elephants.
Thanks for your words!

The Lion in you, is eating the Christian in you.
Deuteronomy 33 11
Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
....................................................................
Judges 9
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
Yes, I know

Judges 14:18 (King James Version)
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
