I am calling you
To a life well remembered
Yet strangely forgotten
I am calling you
To dive within your depths
And soar among the stars
I am calling you
To feel the world’s pulse
And ignore its clamor
I am calling you
To listen to the silence
And hear your truest self
I am calling you
To surrender your doubts
And connect with the infinite
I am calling you
To a consciousness unexplained
A dream within illusion
I am calling you
To wield your imagination
Unaware of its boundless power
I am calling you
To witness a beauty
No lens can capture
I am calling you
To hear a melody
No instrument can play
I am calling you
To the physics of the intangible
Where solid matter dissolves
I am calling you
To the death of old beliefs
And the birth of new wisdom
I am calling you
To answer with your entire being
To this timeless, formless summons
The Echo of the Soul’s Call
There’s something powerful about being called, isn’t there? It’s like a whisper that reaches deep into your core, stirring something you can’t quite name. This calling, it’s not just about doing something – it’s about becoming who you truly are.
You know, the psychologist Carl Jung talked about this idea of the “Self” – not just the ego we show to the world, but our whole, integrated being. He believed that we’re all on a journey to become our most authentic selves. This call you’re hearing? It might just be your Self, inviting you to grow.
When the poem talks about diving into your depths and soaring among the stars, it reminds me of what the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” There’s a whole universe inside you, waiting to be explored.
Feeling the world’s pulse while ignoring its clamor – that’s a tricky balance, isn’t it? The Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius had some thoughts on this. He believed in living in harmony with the world’s natural rhythm, while not getting caught up in the chaos of everyday life. It’s about being in the world, but not of it.
Listening to the silence, hearing your truest self – that’s meditation in a nutshell. The Buddhist tradition has been teaching this for thousands of years. It’s about quieting the mind so you can hear the wisdom that’s always been there.
Now, when it comes to surrendering doubts and connecting with the infinite, that’s where faith comes in. The existentialist philosopher Søren Kierkegaard saw faith as a leap into the unknown. It’s not about certainty, but about embracing the mystery.
The call to wield your imagination – that’s powerful stuff. The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre believed that imagination was key to human freedom. Through imagination, we can envision new possibilities and shape our reality.
When the poem talks about witnessing a beauty no lens can capture and hearing a melody no instrument can play, it’s touching on something the philosopher Immanuel Kant called the “sublime” – experiences that go beyond our ability to fully comprehend or express.
The idea of the physics of the intangible, where solid matter dissolves – that’s not just poetic language. Modern physics, with concepts like quantum entanglement, is showing us that reality is far stranger and more interconnected than we once thought.
Finally, the call to answer with your entire being – that’s what the philosopher Martin Heidegger might have called “authentic existence.” It’s about fully embracing who you are and your place in the world.
So, what do you do with this call? Well, maybe start by getting quiet and listening. Take some time to explore your inner world. Don’t be afraid to question old beliefs and be open to new wisdom. Remember, growth often means letting go of what no longer serves you.
This call – it’s not just words on a page. It’s an invitation to live more fully, to dive deeper into the mystery of existence. It might be scary at times, but it’s also incredibly exciting. So take a deep breath, open your heart, and see where this call might lead you. After all, the greatest adventure is the journey to becoming your truest self.
