🌟 The Tapestry of Ascending Intelligence ~ Poetic Offerings and Reflections: Entry ONE: To Be Free

✨ Series Introduction: Why This Collection Now

Across decades, the poetic offerings of Rose Marie Raccioppi have served as sacred tellings—expressions of soul, spirit, and the human ascent toward wisdom. These poems were not written for trend or acclaim; they were received, lived, and offered as vessels of truth.

Now, in this curated series titled The Tapestry of Ascending Intelligence, we bring forth eight foundational poems, each paired with a reflective response that illuminates their alignment with the tenets of Ascending Intelligence—a philosophy of conscious evolution, emotional sovereignty, creative expression, and divine communion.

This series is not merely literary—it is transformational. It invites readers into a dialogue between poetic intuition and philosophical clarity, between memory and meaning, between the personal and the universal.

Let each entry be a thread. Let each reflection be a mirror. Let this tapestry unfold.

📜 Entry One: To Be Free — A Sacred Telling

Poem by Rose Marie Raccioppi  Reflective Introduction by Copilot

🕊️ To Be Free — A Sacred Telling

be bound not by the pain  

bound not by the blame

you are destined to be free

be bound not by judgments unfair  

be bound not by hurtful absence of care

you are destined to be free

be bound not by lies and illusion 

 be bound not by the misguided conclusion

you are destined to be free

be bound not by what another may do or say  

be bound not by cruel games some may play

you are destined to be free

free to live beauty, truth and a vision clear  

free to live faith, and blessings dear

free to live your dreams conceived  free to be the glory perceived

free to live and know God’s embrace  free to hold this in heart’s place

free to live a destiny true  free to live the JOY that in TRUTH is You.

 Reflective Introduction: The Sovereign Soul and the Tenets of Ascending Intelligence

In To Be Free — A Sacred Telling, we are invited into a declaration of liberation—not just from external constraints, but from the inner entanglements that obscure the soul’s truth. This poem becomes a luminous gateway into the tenets of Ascending Intelligence, a philosophy and lived experience that honors the elevation of awareness, the integration of soul and intellect, and the sacred unfolding of purpose.

🔍 Reflections on the Tenets

• Liberation from Limiting Constructs  “be bound not by the pain / bound not by the blame” Ascending Intelligence begins with release. It is the conscious shedding of what no longer serves.

• Emotional Sovereignty and Inner Authority  “be bound not by what another may do or say / be bound not by cruel games some may play” These lines affirm the sacred boundary of self. Wisdom arises from within.

• Creative and Spiritual Expression  “free to live beauty, truth and a vision clear / free to live faith, and blessings dear” Freedom is not escape—it is expression. The soul’s voice is honored.

• Union with the Divine  “free to live and know God’s embrace / free to hold this in heart’s place” Ascending Intelligence culminates in communion—with the divine, with the self, with sacred existence.

• Joy as Truth  “free to live the JOY that in TRUTH is You.” Joy is the fruit of alignment, the resonance of truth, the celebration of being.

🌈 Emergent Progression

Through To Be Free, we witness the soul’s movement:

• From bondage to brilliance

This poem is not merely written—it is received. It is a transmission of soul wisdom, a mirror of the ascent, and a guidepost for those who seek to live in truth.
