Essay: "Coming Back"

by Jesse Govea
The laws of cause and effect bring to death everything around us; within us, and it also brings back to life everything around us; and within us. Death is a sign of things to come, a coming back of sorts.

The Earth turns in revolutions as the planet flies around the sun; what we call our solar system. This action brings a reaction; spring comes back, summer comes back, spring dies and summer dies too. Then the autumn comes back alive with its bright colors contrasted by oranges, yellows, and browns with green backgrounds.

Autumn dies, and winter comes back, when winder dies, the cycle is repeated over and over. The seasons we know and are accustomed to come back, the earth continues to turn, the planet continues to travel around the sun.

Our bodies also change. Each seven years our body renews each cell in our body...amazingly, one cell at a time. One dies and one brand new replaces it, and does the exact same thing, same functions. Many of us do not even realize this process occurs within us day and night, sleep or awake. Each time our main muscle acts it causes a reaction, a tiny nuclear reaction kicks in, making the walls of the heart contract and continue to pump blood. Coming back each seven years, over and over, the cycle repeats itself.

The mind also comes back. When we experience things, they are stored away in files, and files inside of our brain. Some of us have never developed full use of our brains. But memories are stored in there anyway. Many times they get shut out forever, and many times the same memories keep coming back, over and over. Back to the same old thing, for example; 'what if Dan wants to come back as a chango to be with la changa?' He would have to reprogram his mental blue print and then his spiritual blue print, and then his physical blue print as well, to come back as a chango. Never advancing further, never using that memory to make changes and adjusting. Instead, we become habitual. We keep coming back, back to that same old memory...

We come back to our same old patterns, and without that pattern changing, we come back to the same old habits. We are unwilling to change that blue print, to build a new pattern for a better future. Coming back to prison is not a cycle; we want to follow that pattern. Is it a part of that pattern that needs to change? Karmic forces enable us to come back to this life and learn new lessons what will give us knowledge and open new files in our brains, to come back and compare and analyze, and make those changes on the blue print of life to better ourselves as persons, as humans, not as rainbow colored people, but as humans.

Most white, and blacks and Mexican, rich or poor, fail to realize that the same chemicals and carbon components are in each race's blood. The outer color pitch is the only difference. But the life forces are all the same elements: earth, fire, water, and air. Without these, the whitest white, the blackest black, or the finest brown Mexican would not function, would not come back into existence as a part of the overall nature of cycles.

We may come back as parasites and live in human eyelashes as they do, they are so small we don't even know they exist, and we are so large they don't realize we have feet, hands, or other parts, they live their entire life cycle in our eyelashes! Generations after generations, they keep coming back to build homes and live in our eyelashes. I'll keep coming back myself but in what capacity, I don't know. Several have claimed to be returning, coming back, for example, Jesus Christ came back from the dead, and Joe Montana and John Elway were known as the comeback kinds of football.

Coming back is a deep subject, it has a lot to look at to just dump it all by writing a short story for Gary, so I'll try to shorten up this conversation for now, but, like the Terminator said, "I'll be back!"

I'm back. I lost track of my line of thought. It is too noisy for us to hear ourselves, much less hear that inner voice. Many of histories great men were self educated. Formal education can actually be a hindrance to quality thought, for fostering mind sets, not allowing individual thought patterns to form. How we think is important for when we come back. Our thoughts create patterns that are stored within our brain. And we are stubbornly and destructively coming back to the same old things. The same old mind set. Information is not the same as understanding. As it is written, "he who follows worthless pursuits has no sense." To reprogram the mental computer, replace inferior thoughts with quality thoughts.

Hold fast that which is good. Let it soak in your brain. Shall we come back and repeat this cycle? Or, shall we come back and advance? Be honest with yourself, you may fool me or the world, but you cannot fool that blue print that each of us has built and lives by within our brains, that we keep coming back to. Be like the carpenter, he uses a new blue print on each house he builds. We can alter ours and build a thatched hut, or a mansion, or a castle, or a trump building, what will it be? We will all find out when we come back!
