Benjamin Ripley. Born of a mother and father, became very ill. This being an ailment of memory. From perfect vibration descended spirit into form, and upon descending into form, spirit forgot of its nature. For spirit looked, spirit felt, spirit heard, spirit tasted, spirit smelled, and for all of these gross senses, spirit believed it was that which it beheld.
In this confusion, spirit believed. And in believing, spirit clouded truth. For belief and truth are incompatible. Belief led spirit, and spirit followed belief on a path away from the great experience, the great communion. After believing many things, spirit believed the ultimate belief of fog: that separation is possible, and is true.
From union, spirit came into form and believed in separation.
Benjamin Ripley learned suffering, and spirit believed suffering to be true. A great fallacy of the mind; the great drama of ego. But something persisted in the beliefs. It was an echo, for spirit knew truth all along. Spirit communed with truth all along. This echo sounded as this life being meant for more. This life is not just another life. This time something... anything significant was to happen.
Spirit pursued this echo in the realm of belief that it was form. Which led to more suffering, more dead ends. Spirit at times wished to end form, to plunge steel through the neck or heart and be done with form. Spirit, in its grand delusion would have destroyed this form with violence and hate.
But then grace.
As form fell into stillness, spirit felt its nature returning. Beliefs fell away, and spirit felt suffering ending. Form bowed to spirit, and spirit realized truth. Now form is dead, and daily it dies to allow for spirit to reside in its truest nature. A new name, it would seem is necessary to describe this spirit embodied in form. To speak to form, may the name Benjamin Ripley be spoken; to speak to spirit residing in form many names may be spoken, but for now spirit will allow itself to be called upon by speaking the name Evan Rise.
Evan Rise describes the echo of truth which spirit communed with along the path of worshiping form. Evan Rise describes the state of spirit descended upon form. Benjamin Ripley is still here, still becoming spirit. Evan Rise is here now, as communion with spirit.
Thank you. I love you.
-Evan Rise
