karmic redemption

so i read somewhere recently that with love one achieves redemption-- one cleans the karma slate clean as it were ... but karma seems to be a very persistent little bugger .. for many (and I will use the third person though myself included) fears and addictions that we carry with us keep us stuck --
now, if we believe in reincarnation, unless we rid ourselves of the karma that is keeping us stuck, we will find ourselves repeating many of the same patterns in our next existence or existences ... and while some of the karmic barriers manifest themselves as physical additions--drugs, alcohol, sex, etc-- they are really our emotional baggage ... the drugs, sex and alcohol addictions are just the way to numb our emotional pains ...
so how do we do it ... well, probably we all have to identify our pain point and walk into the fire ... and if love be true, it will cleanse us -- the myth of the phoenix is not such a bad allegory, after all.

the myth in a dream

as a Satyr I'm cast forth into the darkness the wind echoing in the distance carries your voice I run through the forest following your essence; shadows wander all around and I'm lost to my senses I fight my way through a crowd of wood spirits as you fade in and out in a distance of clouds my instincts of Satyr, both human and beast, compel me to hunt you, make you my prey there's a force that carries me through the night I gallop through the dream to catch you the stars shining fly like leaves caught in the wind your gaze is mine; and it's your voice that wakes me.
