Be Done With Doubt!

Sep18

It’s so easy to feel doubt. The more that I try
To feel hopeful the more uncertain I become.
It’s because I’ve practiced that vibration a lot.
Contradictory energy is what I’ve got
Going on. It’s where all my doubt is coming from.
I have doubt but at least I know the reason why.

It’s when I have a difference of opinion
With the source within me that I feel ill at ease.
It’s my ill-practiced focus and sloppy thinking
That’s most harmful to me. It keeps me from linking
Up with things I’ve been wanting. My doubt guarantees
I’ll stay in this unfortunate situation.

How do I overcome doubt? It cannot be done
From my place of uncertainty. I’ll have to find
Things that feel good when I think about them. I can
Reach a state where I am much less resistant than
I am right now. I can get my thinking aligned
With my soul’s thoughts. I can be the fortunate one.

I can talk myself into believing that I
Can have, do, or be anything. I manifest
What I want with my focus. By my believing
In myself I replace doubt. By my perceiving
Differently my issue of doubt is addressed.
With the laws of the universe I do comply.

The Illusion Of Romance

Sep9

Romance is an illusion. That’s why the divorce
Rate increases. A great number of couples thought
That when they married life would be a lifelong date.
But when reality sets in life’s not so great.
In illusion their hearts, minds, and egos are caught.
Inner guidance becomes the most trusted resource.

People who have bought into this idea of
A romance that is perfect perhaps believe that
Romance is what love really is which isn’t so.
Romance isn’t love. It cannot help you to grow
As a person. You want to take a good look at
Your relationship. Is it one made in true love?

Love is far deeper, more powerful, and it does
Not wear off like a romance will after a while.
Romance is the projection of good qualities
In oneself on another which leads to disease
Of the psyche which may be hard to reconcile.
You continue to long for the good time that was.

You see the other person as intelligent,
Beautiful, sensual, charming, gregarious,
And caring. If you can see yourself as all these
Plus a whole lot more of these kinds of qualities
You’ll attract just the right person. You need not fuss
With the details. They all will become evident.

Why I Get Irritated About The Small Things

Sep3

Everyone has their pet peeves. I have compassion
For someone who is crabby. They may have issues
With the family. What I cannot tolerate
Is some person’s noise when I want to concentrate.
Rude behavior by others I cannot excuse.
Understanding of some people’s acts I have none.

The ones whose phones ring at the movie theater…
The unconscious snot suckers and all their gross sounds…
Those who interrupt always when I want to speak…
An escape from humanity is what I seek.
May I have this wish granted to me on the grounds
That I’m not really a deranged people hater?

I just want relief from being irritated.
I know that it’s much deeper than getting upset
Over little things. It’s way out of proportion
And indeed some soul searching will need to be done
To find out why I feel people are such a threat
To my peace. Can my angst be eliminated?

When I judge someone that impulse comes from deeper
In the psyche. My biggest fear is that I’ve no
Control over people so I subconsciously
Find fault with them. This disconnected part of me
Prevents the more enlightened part of me to grow.
Relief comes when I become my own peacekeeper.

Shift Your Attention Inward For Answers

Aug31

Instead of looking outward look inward to find
The answers to your questions. When you look outside
Of yourself then control and manipulation
Enter the picture. How is looking inward done?
Is there some kind of process that can be applied
To look inward? What if one is not so inclined?

What you want to create is authentic power.
Looking inward accomplishes that easily.
It’s not difficult and there’s no special technique
To follow. If it’s answers to questions you seek
Then just go there. Your focus is necessary
For ideas planted to begin to flower.

There are two worlds – the outer world and the inner.
What happens on the inside is more important
Than the external drama. The world you perceive
With you physical senses will make you believe
In its absolute reality and you can’t
Shake that notion. The mind must completely concur.

Multi-sensory beings we’re all becoming.
The soul wants harmony and cooperation.
In a world ruled by external power we can
Find the time to look inward. This is the best plan
To be focused on for your soul’s evolution.
Shifting your attention inward means everything.

The Power Of The Mind

Aug23

It’s not only the pendulum tied to the string
That the mind can manipulate. The placebo
Is a perfect example of how the mind can
Create outcomes. The mind has much more power than
Anyone could imagine. How much can we know
Of its wonders? Is it a spiritual thing?

The outcome is determined by expectancy
On your part but don’t get attached to the outcome.
What you want then will manifest. It’s guaranteed.
At the biggest undertakings you will succeed.
Get yourself in the habit of beating the drum
Of your passion and thus be who you’re meant to be.

On your internal dialogue every cell in
Your body is eavesdropping. By changing the way
That you talk to yourself you can change your body
Chemistry so that healing occurs easily.
In a state of wellbeing you can always stay.
All your cells want is for you and themselves to win.

Inherent in your having the desire are the
Mechanics for its happening. Each is a part
Of the whole divine process. You need only be
Receptive to the good that flows naturally
Through your focus while operating from the heart.
You can use your mind to live your life happily.

Don’t Take Things Personally

Aug11

You are never responsible for the actions
Of others. You are only responsible for
How you act so don’t take things so personally.
If you do, in your soul you will never be free
Of the negative mind chatter. You won’t ignore
Your fallacious assumptions and fierce abstractions.

Don’t take anything personally. I live my
Life. I don’t live your life. If you put your life on
Me I don’t have to take it. It’s not about me.
I can simply let go of the sick energy
Put upon me. All negative drama begone.
I just want to stay centered. With that I’ll comply.

No matter what is happening outside of you
It has nothing to do with you. The perception
That your world has of you doesn’t matter. Only
What you think of yourself matters ultimately.
Everything is about who makes the assumption
About you and it doesn’t mean that it is true.

You are the main character in your own story.
We each have our own story. When people mistreat
Others it usually is out of boredom
But it’s all their own creation. They’re coming from
A dark place in their story. Your life can be sweet
When you take things as they are and as they should be.

Stop Trying To Read Other People’s Minds

Jul29

Unless you’re truly psychic don’t take for granted
That what others are thinking are your thoughts as well.
Others don’t think the same way more often than not.
One who’s ill may believe there’s a sinister plot
To undo oneself and it’s the worst kind of hell
To go through. In the mind what’s not true is planted.

So I don’t make assumptions because it allows
Me to hear people, be more present, and not take
Things where they’re not supposed to go. I can be more
In the moment instead of in my head. Before
I jump to a conclusion, mostly for my sake,
To the purest of logic my heart must espouse.

All the sadness and drama that we manifest
In our lives is because of assumptions we’ve made
About others. We can’t read other people’s minds.
We come up with fantastic stories of all kinds
But they’re just that. We’re not on a foolish crusade
To gain knowledge of what people haven’t expressed.

We don’t have the courage to ask questions, so we
Make assumptions. We take things too personally.
We love people therefore we expect them to know
How we feel and think, so learning how to let go
Of our thoughts about it all is one way to free
Ourselves of our self-torment eventually.

Control The Mind

Jul23

Have you ever found yourself deeply engrossed in
A good book or a movie where time seemed to pass
Effortlessly so quickly? This experience
Is a routine form of hypnosis. It makes sense
That it’s called ‘everyday trance.’ It is in a class
Of its own. It is from this premise we begin.

Hypnosis is a normal state that we enter
Many times during the day, and each time we get
Really focused on something. This ability
Can work miracles if it is done correctly.
Self-hypnosis is a valuable asset.
Consciousness is of which the brain is the center.

It involves becoming highly focused in your
Experience while giving yourself positive
Suggestions about ways to reach your goals. It can
Be empowering because in a short time span
You can change for the better the way that you live.
For what ails you self-hypnosis may be the cure.

Find yourself a comfortable and quiet place
To relax using a hypnotic induction
Like progressive muscle relaxation to ease
The tense body and breathe in and out as you please.
You then introduce a hypnotic suggestion.
It may be anything that you truly embrace.

Knee Jerk Reactions

Jul17

Wouldn’t it be terrific if news reflected
Accurately what’s going on? Wouldn’t it be
Really nice if all the pleasant things taking place
In the world the news networks would put in the face
Of the public? Am I living in fantasy?
If so, then I should probably be elected.

I would like to believe that what I feel is true.
If there were much more good news compared to the bad
Then the bad news would be just a blip on the screen.
Only happy stories of living would bee seen.
Can I shoot such a rocket from my own launchpad?
Are there others who feel just the way that I do?

If every chance I get I practice wellbeing
Then if there’s something going on that triggers me
It’s not such a big factor in my overall
Sense of being. In fact, it’s such a very small
Percentage of the big picture. I finally
See the way that my inner being is seeing.

In this world no such thing as perfection exists.
There will always be contrast. Life will always be
On the verge of becoming what it will become.
The emotional triggers we can’t escape from,
But we can learn to live life with more clarity.
Then we’ll deal more appropriately with its twists.

It’s Not The Other Person

Jul16

We are all co-creators with Source Energy
And among one another. It feels easier
To create something that doesn’t have anything
To do with another person. Understanding
That you have control over all that will occur
In your life, you’re prepared to live life happily.

You decide to become a vibrational match
Then that experience or object comes to you.
That feels cleaner and easier because you feel
Not another opposing you. The most ideal
Situation is when you create something new
When alone while with all distractions you detach.

There’s never another person opposing you.
It’s always a piece of you that isn’t aligned
With your true self. You can’t assign attributes to
Other people then use them to block your own view
Of the path least resistant and true peace of mind.
Everything happens in response to what you do.

You have much control over what you reflect back
From a circumstance. It’s up to you to decide
To stay focused on what you want. Don’t give away
Your power to an argument. It’s best to stay
Clear of it absolutely. You can’t be denied
What you want when you keep your vibration on track.

Delightful Daydreaming

Jul3

I do lots of daydreaming. I remember when
As a child I enjoyed it perhaps more than now.
There was no one to boss me around and no one
Making any demands on me. It was sheer fun
Just to let my mind wander. Without knowing how
I could stay much more in alignment way back then.

I remember that feeling I had when I played
Among thick lilac bushes as I would pretend
To have fashioned my own vortex of creation.
Within it I would find complete fascination.
There was nothing complex for me to comprehend.
Through that innocent stage of life I had it made.

I could do as I felt in my sanctuary
In the back yard. I felt that I was in control
Of my universe. It didn’t matter to me
Whether anyone outside of my world could see
As I saw. I was not striving to reach a goal.
The only rule that I had was to be happy.

That’s powerful creation. By setting aside
Time for myself, I’m doing my best to maintain
My alignment. Much freedom I have to take care
Of the things that most matter. I’m now more aware
Of how much in the way of true joy I can gain
From my daydreaming when it’s righteously applied.

Whose Thoughts Are These?

Jul3

Every thought that has ever been thought still exists.
Thoughts Are Things and each one has its own vibration.
So am I the thinker of my thoughts or do I
Just receive them? Do I catch them as they go by?
One would think that one’s thoughts are of one’s creation.
It’s the way in which the fragile ego insists.

We’re transmitting and receiving mechanisms.
Sometimes we are transmitting and sometimes we are
Receiving, yet we can do both at the same time.
It is possible to reach a truly sublime
State of being. We don’t have to search long and far
For enlightenment as human organisms.

When we’re acknowledging, noticing, comparing,
And discussing with others is when we transmit,
But receiving is best done when we’re in a state
Of receiving, where we can best appreciate
What comes to us. It’s of tremendous benefit
To be about what you’re receiving most caring.

We’re never the thinker of a great thought, instead
There’s a collective consciousness we all access.
Does the radio ask itself if it’s singing
All those songs that it’s playing? We end up bringing
How we feel to the forefront of our consciousness.
By the radio broadcast station we are led.

Applying Segment Intending

Jul2

Pick a subject. Let’s do some segment intending.
It’s a way to prepare for the moment ahead.
Shift some energy on things that matter to you.
There are no exercises that you have to do.
Your intending can be done while you’re still in bed.
In a way it is similar to pretending.

Say the subject is money. You’re in a good mood
Already, and you’re sitting alone at the park.
Your next segment may be just appreciating
The abundant surroundings. Indeed everything
In the park is of value. From there you embark
On a rampage expressing sincere gratitude.

You then visit a café where people you know
Are relaxing and engaged in conversation.
Since you’ve tweaked your vibration beforehand, you are
In a state of alignment. You feel like the star
In a fabulous movie of your creation.
You are close to what’s at the end of the rainbow.

Take every opportunity you can to see
What you want to see. By your identifying
What you want you’re activating it within you.
Moment by moment you can create your own view
Of your world – one which is much more satisfying.
In a world of your own creation you can be.

Stops Along The Way

Jun30

On the journey to what I think makes my life whole
And complete, there are many detours and places
To be checkpointed. Thank God for my GPS
For without it my life would be a total mess.
At each stop there are things that my heart embraces
Such that I’m not that bothered with reaching my goal.

Sometimes I’ll find myself on my way to some things.
Often my inner being will lead me to an
Experience that will help me to activate
And fine tune my vibration wherein I create
The best moment, then the next… I know that I can
Be aligned with the blessings each new moment brings.

I can look there and not find it then look elsewhere
And still not find it before I finally do.
All those places where I looked before were not wrong.
They’re all part of a fun game. As I play along
Blessings seem to be coming from out of the blue.
I honor the existence of both here and there.

Where I am is sufficient for getting where I
Want to be because I always have access to
Inner guidance. It tells me when I’m way off track.
My emotions offer me tremendous feedback.
Any place is the right place as long as I do
What it takes without my having to wonder why.

Emotions And Your Body

Jun3

Your body responds to the way you think, feel, and
Act. This is one type of mind/body connection.
When you’re stressed, anxious, or upset, your body may
Develop high blood pressure or ulcers. To stay
In good health, you can confide in the direction
Of your inner being who has the upper hand.

The manifestation in the body is an
Exaggerated version of what’s going on
With your feelings, but you can shift an emotion
With much more ease than after the damage is done.
You have your guidance system to rely upon.
Your awareness is important to your game plan.

If you wait until there’s a manifestation,
Then it’s much harder to emotionally get
Around what’s taken place in your body, therefore
Catch it in the beginning and do not explore
All the things about your life you deeply regret
Having gone through even though it’s your creation.

Understand your emotions and recognize why
You are having them. Sorting them out can help you
To cope with them. Find some form of relaxation
Such as yoga, Tai Chi, guided meditation,
Or just listening to music. Things you can do
Are quite many. It’s worthwhile to give some a try.

Perception

May18

Perception is the ability to become
Aware of something through the senses which include
Tasting, touching, smelling, hearing, and seeing. They
Along with the mind itself are fixed in the way
Of experiencing truth. The way life is viewed
Keeps us locked in a perceptual conundrum.

From a single point of observation, there seems
To be a here or there, this or that, now or then,
And a space with dimensions where time elapses,
But it is all the result of brain synapses
That consciousness is prone to again and again
Keep itself occupied in a world of extremes.

How one perceives the world is dependent on one’s
Level of consciousness, which is the result of
Past karmic influences, beliefs, and ego
Dominance. There’s a limit to what one can know
Through the ego mind. One can learn to rise above
Its agenda and all of its misperceptions.

The content of the ego mind is a product
Of perception. No independent existence
Can it have. It and all of its activities,
Including its preoccupation with disease,
Depends on one’s indwelling divine effulgence.
Our perceptions are only a mental construct.

Positionality

May17

Positionality refers to how social
Position and power shape identities and
Access within society. Dualistic
Mental structures within the ego mind can trick
Itself into believing that it’s in command
By virtue of position and its rationale.

Positionalities include cherished values,
Beliefs, attitudes, and judgments. They are ingrained
During childhood. Reinforced by society,
They become an illusion of reality.
In order to function well, they must be maintained.
One becomes manipulated by social cues.

Positionalities provide all the juice the
Ego needs to maintain its hold and dominance
Of the mind. Race, religion, nationality,
Gender, or how one postures politically
Are examples of position and they enhance
The ego’s own agenda of needing to be.

Phenomena are not either fair or unfair,
Good or bad, right or wrong, or somewhere in-between.
We become judgmental and opinionated
Over things that can’t possibly be related
To enlightenment where the big picture is seen.
Of the ego we can only be more aware.

Subjectivity

May13

Subjectivity is the essence of mind and
The true nature of self. It’s the pure consciousness
And awareness of being. It’s characterized
By its sheer lack of objectively organized
Structures of perception, reason, and knowingness.
Explanations help us to better understand.

Related to the ideas of personhood,
Self-identity, and truth, subjectivity
Is the quality or condition of something
Being a subject. What does this end up meaning?
Everything that oneself perceives itself to be
Is subjective. Within self all is understood.

It’s most commonly used as an explanation
For that which informs and biases our judgements
About truth and reality. Society
Is a collective culture living totally
In a subjective context. It thus represents
A culture that is in constant transformation.

Inwardness and truth is pure subjectivity.
Know thyself and existence itself. Be aware
Of the nature beyond all physicality.
There is nothing but spirit fundamentally.
As each of us looks outward, all that we can share
Is the hope that we can all live in harmony.

Narcissism

May9

Narcissists typically are preoccupied
With themselves to excess. They need admiration.
They may seem to be confident, but it’s an act
That’s put on in order to cover up the fact
That they’re unstable and insecure. Creation
Of a powerful image keeps them satisfied.

Narcissism, known as a personality
Disorder, is characterized by excessive
Self-absorption, self-centeredness, and vanity.
There can be a deep hatred for authority.
Lack of empathy means they’re unable to give
True support to another emotionally.

Narcissistic pride is the very foundation
And core of the ego itself. Its animal
Nature is something that all humanity shares.
It’s not unusual to find someone who cares
For humanity and its joyous survival.
Narcissism is its own justification.

Narcissism is typical of the lower
Levels of consciousness. The major illusion
Is that one is separate from all existence.
One can’t silence the ego at its own expense,
But one can mitigate sorrow and confusion
By knowing that it’s all part of human nature.

Personality

May9

A complex combination of qualities and
Characteristics is called personality.
It forms an individual’s own character.
It’s unique, and people treat it as if it were
The true self. It’s presented to society
As a person of which one has total command.

This aspect of the ego is influenced and
Developed in direct relation to patterns
Integrated in childhood. They are reinforced
And become habit until they’re fully endorsed
By the ego. Truth is the least of its concerns.
It’s too simple for it to fully understand.

It’s an intricate system of learned responses.
Whether one is agreeable, honest, and kind,
Or angry and resentful depends on many
Factors including karma, but definitely
One’s prevailing level of consciousness and mind.
Its behavior is subject to consequences.

Spiritual work and understanding leads to
The realization that one is not the thing
That’s called mind and that thinks things. One is the pristine
Awareness beyond mind. Everything can be seen
To be nameless and simply a conscious being.
Be open to discovering the one most true.

Mind

May8

The mind is the faculty of human beings
To reason and to think. It includes perception,
Thinking, memory, opinions, consciousness, and
Judgment. It has the potential to understand,
Imagine, recognize, and get many things done.
It is responsible for processing feelings.

In spiritually advanced thought, this thinking
Mind is the ego. It’s in fact called the small mind.
Dualistic in nature, it identifies
Itself as a person. It assumes the disguise
Of a personal construct wherein it will find
Dominance. It’s addicted to what that will bring.

The egoic lower mind is attached to and
Quite infatuated with the thinking process,
Because the delusion of conventional thought
Is its reason for being. It often gets caught
In a psychic dilemma all due to the stress
Of maintaining the false illusion of command.

Spiritual advancement is the consequence
Of undoing the ignorance and dominance
Of the lower ego thinking mind. The process
Is intensified with one’s increased willingness
To evolve and to spiritually advance.
The true mind is the context of one’s existence.

Reality

May8

Reality is the quality or the state
Of being actual or true. Reality
Is the totality of all things possessing
Actuality and essence. Its existing
Is reliant on nothing. It happens to be
Not something that the neural processes create.

Yet, our commonsense notion of reality
Is that our outward focused senses give us all
That we need, but smells, sounds, and colors don’t exist
In the outer world actually. In the midst
Of the dream of perception, we don’t hear the small
Voice within giving guidance completely for free.

The nature of reality itself and the
Relationship between the mind, language, culture,
And reality are the two aspects addressed
By philosophy. It’s sentiment is expressed
As an intricate puzzle, oblique and obscure.
So, how can one best understand reality?

The science of consciousness and the role of the
Observer in quantum mechanics is quickly
Catching up with what wise ones of ancient revealed.
All that exists is one conscious energy field
That is totally absent of duality.
Awareness beyond mind is true identity.

Thinking

May4

Thinking is the process of using one’s mind to
Consider or to reason regarding something.
It’s an autonomous function of the ego,
And it thinks thoughts of happiness or of sorrow
According to beliefs and social programming.
The mind is dualistic in its point of view.

The mind processes its concepts with the notion
Of a subject an object. Thoughts are constructive
When they’re focused and conscious, but usually,
The mind is bombarded pretty much endlessly
With extraneous content. In order to live
With some balance requires specific devotion.

The ego mind loves to judge, consider, presume,
Regard, ponder, and ruminate. The delusion
Of the thinking process stems from one’s believing
That one is one’s ego, but this is deceiving
The true self and can lead to utter confusion.
Thoughts can be of enlightenment or utter doom.

Thinking is seen as the main tool of survival.
Thoughts are seen as precious, personal, and unique.
Realize that the ego mind is in denial
That there are other tools that are much more worthwhile.
Change your mind to the focus of that which you seek,
Which is to celebrate a true self revival.

Belief

Apr27

Beliefs are what determines one’s experience.
A belief is a certain mental attitude
Of acceptance toward a position without
The full knowledge required to prove beyond all doubt
That it’s true absolutely, and thus it’s valued
As something fundamental. It makes perfect sense.

Beliefs are then conceptual programs that run
Within the human ego, therefore they create
And maintain personalities. Initially,
They’re adopted in childhood and programmed by the
People in our environment. It’s not by fate
That beliefs take on meaning for most everyone.

A belief is entirely conceptual and
Intellectual. The ego mind generates
What it needs to convince itself of what it knows
To be true, therefore it bears the need to oppose
Certain things, and a firm attitude it creates.
Often beyond this mindset one cannot expand.

It’s best to summon up compassion for all those
Dominated by ignorance and limiting
Belief systems and to endeavor to undo
Dualistic programming. One’s own point of view
Can be made to be inclusive of everything.
Consciousness becomes more enlightened as it grows.

Remove Force From Your Life

Mar17

To resist all evil means to give up the fight.
Your problems are not solvable by using force.
When you become a fighter against anything
Onto the forces that created it you cling.
It takes conscious awareness to get to the source
Of your struggle. You know that things are not all right.

In this material world, things move at a pace
That causes much anxiety, illness, and pain.
It’s slow-moving energy ironically.
It’s the kind that always asks, “What’s in it for me?”
Scurrying to meet deadlines can drive you insane.
Life does not have to be a chaotic rat race.

Hold no one or no thing in judgment. You cannot
Bring spiritual harmony to an issue
As long as you accept the idea that one
Side is right. You will never reach a solution.
Judging others means only that something in you
Needs expressing, and it doesn’t mean a whole lot.

When you slow yourself down, you will actually
Always speed up your spiritual vibration.
Peaceful, tranquil thoughts clear the chatter in the mind.
While you’re stopped at a traffic light, be more inclined
To connect with your inner peace. Meditation
Is the wonderful practice of letting things be.

The First Awakening

Mar1

There’s a voice in the brain that just keeps on going
Like that battery bunny – the one on TV.
It is forever commenting on everything
I’m aware of. I have trouble meditating
Due to that voice that carries on incessantly.
It has not much to do with my inner knowing.

A significant part of my unhappiness
Is because of unnecessary negative
Mind activity. I am not even aware
That it’s happening. Times of pure silence are rare.
All my problems stem from the attention I give
To the mindset of misery versus success.

Mindfulness is discovering the simple fact
That there is a voice in my head. It’s an asset
When it’s used properly – like for motivation.
Happiness affirmations can always be fun.
Otherwise the mind can become a lethal threat.
Thoughts of negativity do have an impact.

Spiritual awakening will happen when
I can notice the monkey mind doing its thing.
I shall not try to fight it. It wears itself out.
Meditation is the way to mitigate doubt.
The first thing is the vibration I’m offering.
I can get to a much better feeling place then.

My Ego

Nov25

How can I make the dance a little bit better
Between God and my ego? How can I become
More aligned with my wishes vibrationally?
How do I get to know the divine part of me?
I know where my humanity emanates from.
My ego, to the world, is an open letter.

That part of me that is called the ego is my
Receiving divine guidance. I am connected
By default, but at times, there is uncertainty
About where in the scheme of it all I should be.
That’s the part of me that needs to be directed
On its journey. The ego is best to comply.

The all-powerful, all knowing, uplifting source
Of creation is recognized by the ego
Which is this human body. It tends to complain
About life. It is always trying to attain
Something it has already. It just doesn’t know
That it is in the hands of an almighty force.

The ego is a prism. It translates the light
Of divinity into all that I perceive.
The artist is created. The ego, therefore,
Cannot lose its connection. Indeed it is more
Than a physical nuisance. One has to believe
That the ego will see a future that is bright.

Only When You’re On Fire

Nov6

Make no effort unless you are in your Vortex
Of Creation – that place where you’re feeling your best.
You enjoy creating something magnificent
In your life. When you’re happy, nothing can prevent
You from getting where you want. You can manifest
What you want through a process that isn’t complex.

“I have this dream that I want to pursue, but I
Have to work fifty hours a week and pay the bills.”
You know not to let excuses like this keep you
From exploring horizons exciting and new.
You partake of the freedom to go for the thrills
Your life offers you only when you’re flying high.

You’ve learned ‘segment intending,’ which is a technique
Where you set aside time to focus on one thing
Or another exclusively so you’ll achieve
The specific state that allows you to receive
The object of your focus. This is creating
With intent. It becomes such a pleasure to seek.

You do not have good timing when you are outside
Your Vortex. You may struggle and not be fulfilled
In your efforts, but when you are inside of it,
Everything is made easy as you benefit.
Upon your good foundation you’re able to build
A successful life with your Vortex as your guide.

Don’t Blame Others

Nov5

My path has been unfolding, and it’s so easy
To fulfill my desires. People are amazing.
Wholesome experiences punctuate my day.
Things are always working out for me in this way.
Nothing much can keep my consciousness from raising.
Many wonderful things are happening to me.

Behind that, there’s a lot that is not happening.
Sometimes it feels as if I’ve been pushed from a plane,
But I cannot give credit where it isn’t due.
I’m the one who attracts things through my point of view.
To think that I’ve been pushed borders on the insane.
Can I be more careful in my ways of thinking?

My own point of attraction is what draws to me
Everything I experience. Blaming others
Brings about psychic misery. I have control
Of how I feel at all times. In this, I’m made whole…
Not a part of something that someone else prefers.
In accepting my own mess, I can become free.

Cooperative components help me to live
Out the vibration I offer. They coalesce
According to how I feel. No one else but me
Is the cause of my issues. My reality
Becomes more in alignment with fun and success.
The more I ask, the more the universe will give.

Negative People

Nov4

Negative People bug me. Their harsh energy
Is upsetting and dangerous. What can I do?
Should I say nothing to them? Should I stay away
From them altogether? Do I accept that they
Have a right to their feelings? How do I get through
Having to be around them perpetually?

I should be stable enough that I don’t need the
Condition to be perfect in order to be
In alignment. There is such a freedom in that.
There’s no time for engaging in negative chat.
But, within the contrast, am I able to see
That the people that bug me are the same as me?

We’re all in this together. I have had my days
Of disaster because of my negative mood.
So, I can well relate to where they’re coming from.
Can I set an example and somehow become
The answer to their problems with my attitude?
Perhaps so. I can be helpful in many ways.

Negative emotion cannot be a bad thing.
It’s the starting point of the creative process.
I feel appreciation for its existence.
Through my disposition I can be of immense
Benefit to the circumstance. I acquiesce
And acknowledge what positive feelings can bring.

Who You Really Are

Oct30

We are not here as human beings having a
Spiritual experience. The opposite
Is the issue. We are spiritual beings
Having a human experience, and the things
That surround us are truly for our benefit
If we manage to stay in a positive way.

When you stand in your now moment and you somehow
Put yourself into a high flying vibration
Where you’re not upset, worried, or fettered in fear,
Then everything to you will be perfectly clear.
It is not a big secret that you are the one
Who experiences and who learns to allow.

So, you’re pure positive energy. You create
Your reality. Your frequency remains high
In any situation. That inspiration
You allow to flow freely. Your life can be fun.
Sacred laws of the universe to you apply,
And you know this. You are in a receptive state.

You are much more than you were a blessing ago
When you chose to find happiness in everything
No matter the conditions. The passion you feel
About your life will eventually reveal
Who You Really Are. This will open the wellspring
Of abundance. Your true self is the one to know.

Creating Who You Are

Oct26

There are only two reasons why you do not know
What you want. One is that you have it already.
The other is that you don’t know yourself enough
To know what you want. Your life may seem rather rough
On the edges. The fact is you can never be
In complete knowing of yourself. It’s a shadow.

It is not all that tragic a state of affairs.
The divine is never an object of its own
Fund of knowledge. Just as light can’t illuminate
Itself, nor can a knife cut itself, you create
Of yourself a self that is completely unknown
By some essence within you who cautiously cares.

To itself, it’s always an endless mystery.
“I don’t know,” as it’s uttered in the infinite
Interior of the spirit, is the relief.
The time that you have left here may be rather brief.
Wasting energy forcing things doesn’t seem right.
Letting go is the same thing as humility.

Yet, you don’t have to let go. There is nothing to
Grab on to. It’s achieved for you by the process
Of nature. Once you get this, you will suddenly
Find that you have full access to the energy
You’ve been wasting. You find self in your selflessness.
You are always creating the best part of you.

Triggered

Oct12

Something crawls into consciousness out of nowhere.
Does it have any business there? I cannot know
Until it has become me. By then it’s too late.
If it’s toxic it will put me into a state
Of anxiety. If I let its presence grow,
It may lead to distress and to utter despair.

More strongly as I feel it, and time elapses,
After having been overcome with emotion,
I then realize that this has happened again.
I know by past experience what happens when
I stay there. Negative momentum is begun.
My belief in my own wellbeing collapses.

The duration had been short. In pain I’d act out
With the mind disagreeing with the emotion.
Rational thought is futile when I am this way.
Sometimes I would stay triggered for more than a day.
In this way, it is hard to accept the notion
That I could feel much better. I’m fettered in doubt.

Processing the emotions associated
With the trauma is needed. I can overcome
Much of it by exploring it all fearlessly.
Through guidance and acceptance I have come to be
In a much better way and a lot freer from
My past trauma. A new life has been created.

Does This Thought Satisfy Me?

Oct8

You want to allow your dream to gestate within
Your vortex of creation. The way that you feel
Is your guidance toward everything you desire.
As you practice believing you have the entire
Universe working for you, conditions ideal
Coalesce. Allow the momentum to begin.

When you feel, you vibrate. You know this for a fact.
Your thoughts generate feelings. There are different
Frequencies of vibration from despair to bliss.
Thoughts that don’t satisfy you, you cease and dismiss
Before they gain momentum. Your conscious intent
Is to keep your high vibration fully intact.

Is this thought satisfying? If not, Let It Go!
If it is, though, continue to milk the feeling
For its full worth. Let other thoughts like it begin
To amass in the consciousness. What mood you’re in
Can’t be faked, so it is not worth your concealing.
Don’t ‘fake it ‘til you make it.’ This will bring you woe.

If someone cuts you off in traffic, you may think
It to be an unkind and unnecessary
Thing to do. Does this thought put you in a good place?
When someone yields to you, you will think thoughts of grace
Then pass on the blessing to others happily.
Keep aware of your thinking. It keeps you in sync.

Never Be Angry?

Oct7

Open flames give off heat. What a revelation!
It’s no wonder that when I touch one I get burned.
Logic dictates that it’s best for me to avoid
Anything that is painful or gets me annoyed.
Should my sources of agony be of concern?
When I am burning what should be the duration?

Discordant and uncomfortable people show
Up in my life because I’m hooked into that part
Of their energy. It’s a co-creative dance
That holds me in a most difficult circumstance.
Some people are like burners. It’s not very smart
To go near their direct flame. This much I do know.

If I have touched a hot stove, the question should be,
“What do I do next?” The answer comes right away.
“Take your hand off the hot stove immediately!
It’s not worth abundance, wellness, and clarity.
In this awful condition do you want to stay?”
That this is good advice I would have to agree.

The next time that I feel anger or injustice,
I might say to myself, “I’ve not yet decided
How long I will use you to not let myself be
In a state of wellbeing. You definitely
Did me wrong, and my anger can’t be derided,
But I’d rather be free to experience bliss.”

When Things Get Hard

Sep25

Life can throw you some curves. We know this to be true,
And it’s not just the things that you can see coming.
It’s the things out of nowhere that can set you back
Far enough that you fear you can’t get back on track.
“Never Give Up!” This beat is well worth your drumming.
When you’ve reached your limit, what else is there to do?

Am I going to make it? This echoing fear
Makes the tight spot a tough knot for my gut to bare.
When faced with the impossible most people will
Give it up. In so doing, they do not fulfill
Their life’s dreams, which may lead to ultimate despair.
Life remains hard while maintaining this atmosphere.

When I’ve reached my rock bottom and I’m depleted
Of my energy, that’s the point where the tide turns.
The pain is what makes me stronger. If I go through
It instead of avoiding it, what I once knew
Cannot matter much. This is how my spirit learns
That in life I am tried but never defeated.

Pain is what makes one stronger. It is the high cost
Of the growth of the spirit. The mentality
Of the victim or victor is what I may choose.
There is winning or learning. This wonderful news
Is a change in my outlook. I don’t have to be
Disillusioned about life, and all is not lost.

Moving On

Sep20

In the mind there’s no subtraction or division.
The way you think is pretty much the way you feel.
There’s no reason to make this all complicated.
Your emotions and thoughts can’t be separated.
How does one reach the point of beginning to heal?
The mind does addition and multiplication.

You can think someone is a wonderful person,
But the thought may change in line with their behavior.
Tomorrow you may think the same person as one
Not as you had before thought. Your thinking can run
Up and down the wide spectrum. It generates more
Of an overall image. By nature it’s done.

Thoughts repeated are memories. They come and go
As do most of your feelings. The ones that are strong
Are not easily changeable. They interfere
With the moment’s thought process. The one who is dear
To the heart is a problem when something goes wrong
With the contract. The drama has something to show.

When you add to your troubled thoughts they multiply.
Each one leads to another. Momentum begins
To develop. The unsettled mind is agile.
Take a break from these thoughts. Contemplate for a while
On the absolution of all your psychic sins.
Love is the only way for you to say goodbye.

Don’t Ever Work Hard

Aug30

What’s the difference between hard work and hard play?
This question is important. Whole generations
Of people worldwide are making a big mistake
About how to approach life. Their minds are opaque
To the notion of ease, and their sharp opinions
Are the cause of them living in utter dismay.

If you work, how should you work? The world says, “Work Hard!
And you must study harder to keep up the pace
All the time. Your hard work is the way you survive.
There’s a rock and a hard place, and while you’re alive,
You are anchored between them. Endure the rat race.”
In this way the life purpose can get somewhat scarred.

“Why no work joyfully?”, someone has dared to ask.
“Why don’t they tell you that you can work lovingly?”
These are fair enough questions to open the mind
To where certain attitudes can be redefined.
The way it’s always been is not how it should be.
Can you be delighted while performing the task?

How you feel is the single most important thing
To consider. There’s substantial medical and
Scientific evidence to prove that your brain
And your body work best with the least bit of strain.
Do your work in a pleasant state, then you command
Everything in your world. Contentment this will bring.

Dealing With A Controlling Spouse

Aug4

Following a long illness he decided to
Retire early. His spouse became the caretaker.
Which he appreciated, but lately she’s been
Obsessive about it. He does not like it when
She controls his activity. He would prefer
Less attention paid to him. What should the man do?

She believes she is doing the right thing, of course.
She refuses to listen to what others say.
Corrective meditation does him little good.
It is difficult when things are not understood
By them both, and they just cannot go on this way.
If continued it could even lead to divorce.

It was a good co-creative attraction in
That he needed some caretaking, and she was there
To provide it profusely. He doesn’t care for
What he’s attracted and cannot take any more
Of what he now considers her abusive care.
Communication is the best place to begin.

He could have some fun with this and make it a game,
Using words carefully so as not to offend.
“I needed some caretaking. You’re magnificent!
But I didn’t need meddling or constant torment.
You’re an awesome controller, but I am your friend.”
Understanding is needed or things stay the same.

The Inner Critic And Social Comparison

Jul24

You can undermine yourself with what can be called
Critical truths about yourself that are based on
Feelings of inferiority, but any
Fair minded jury would reject this completely.
Even your own worst enemy can’t come upon
What you can. You’ve an internal critic installed.

Feeling inferior comes from your measuring
Yourself against someone else or just everyone.
It is a false conception. We each are unique.
At least in some areas all persons are weak.
All are good at some things, and without exception
Each of us has to this earth a whole lot to bring.

Many people believe they’re so inferior
That they simply can’t live with themselves. It’s a shame
That they must be superior at any cost.
Haphazard are the gains, and much of them is lost
While attempting to play in such a lethal game.
They are trapped and controlled by the way they keep score.

Inferiority and its weak counterpart,
Superiority, are both of the same coin.
Counterfeit are their essence. They are illusions.
Recognizing your own worth and how the world runs,
You will come up with solutions straight from the groin
To get your inner critic aligned with your heart.

Become Happy

Jul23

It is said that the average person loses
Their attention many times in just one minute.
Cumbersome are the thought patterns of people who
Fail to concentrate adequately. What they do
Is done with some anxiety mixed into it.
The heart may guide the way, but the mind refuses.

Researchers have done studies with monks who know how
To focus their attention. Their experience
Is substantial. Brain scans on them revealed a lot
Of frontal lobe activity when these monks thought
Of things like compassion and love that is intense.
They are also well trained in living in the now.

A control group of folk considered average
Were given the same brain scans. The shocking result
Indicated no activity in the brain.
With this bit of knowledge there is something to gain.
To acquire the monk’s brain is not that difficult.
There are practices in which we all can engage.

Thinking of unconditional love, compassion,
Or divinity, when they are focused upon
On a regular basis, will make one feel good.
Pay attention to life. It’s better understood
When the causes of fear, hate, and doubt are all gone
Thinking with emotion helps to get the job done.

Discipline Your Thinking

Jul21

If I am what I think about then I’d better
Be extremely careful of what I think about.
So, every conversation I have with others
I should have only if it completely concurs
With my soul’s prime directive. I have not a doubt
That I’m not here to be a toxic begetter.

What is missing in my life is not worth telling
Everyone that I know about. I will attract
Only more evidence that things are not okay.
Universal forces support all that I say
No matter what the vibration is. This is fact.
I know that positive talk is more compelling.

I can only act upon my own thoughts, but I
Can think whatever thoughts I choose. It then follows
That what I intend to create is primary.
World news, gossip, and idle chatter are for me
Detrimental even if I’m holding my nose.
My thoughts must keep me on a perpetual high.

I don’t have to fill my head with violent things
Or issues of concern in the world. They tell me
That the world is a terrible place. It Is Not!
To be quite well informed is to suffer a lot
The trials and tribulations of society.
I am grateful for my positive offerings.

The Ego

Jul17

The Ego is nothing other than the focus
Of one’s conscious attention. It’s like a radar
On a ship. It behaves like a troubleshooter.
If there’s anything ‘out there’ changes will occur
In the ego’s behavioral patterns which are
A completely and woefully weak part of us.

Don’t identify with your radar because you
Will be in a state of constant anxiety.
You’re the whole organism. When you realize
That you are then the ego is not a disguise
But an asset of value in this raging sea.
Each radar is designed to give its point of view.

The body is a miracle of harmony.
Systems function together to keep life afloat.
Yet corpuscles have creatures at battle always.
This must happen. It is how the whole body stays
In balance. The war supports the health of the boat.
A magnificent work is the human body.

What is discord at one level of your being
At a much higher level is perfect order.
Energy is behind physical existence.
Between them there’s a dance of powerful suspense
Your ego is no more than a tape recorder.
Don’t let it put untruth into what you’re seeing.

What Is Consciousness?

Jul14

Existence, as is known, is one unbroken thing.
All That Is contains everything that can be known
And unknown. There is another version of it.
That knows not itself at all. It has not a bit
Of consciousness. The feeling of being alone
Is all that this region of existence can bring.

What exactly is consciousness? It’s awareness
Of oneself by knowing what is not of the same
Awareness that oneself is or has. Existence
Contains all that there is. It needs no self-defense.
Consciousness is awareness by another name
Whether or not it has the desire to express.

All That Is creates within itself otherness.
It’s aware of itself through all that it creates.
It’s a kind of reflective energy pattern.
Consciousness means that one is able to discern
Individual selfhood and how it relates
To the otherness. It’s an eternal process.

Everything reflects consciousness. It is the way
That all of creation can become self-aware.
Every creature is seeing through the eyes of God.
The mechanics of it all is nothing slipshod.
Infinite are the points of view one can compare
To oneself. All existence evolves as it may.

Self-Esteem And Oneself

Jul10

Am I confident in who I am or am I
Struggling seeing worth as it pertains to me?
This affects how I think and feel and how I act.
I feel there’s nothing left in this world to distract
Me from myself and everyone. All that I see
Is sorrow sorely strangled. I’ve no alibi.

If I could say I’m sorry to those I have harmed
I might feel a lot better, though this won’t occur.
My darkness has a thickness outside of pitch-black.
Along with many other things, courage I lack
And a clue as to what to do. I would prefer
That the cross hairs of circumstance are not alarmed.

Guilt encrusted avoidance and isolation
Are to my full advantage. Passively I wait
For something bad to happen. I figure I’m due
For the next indiscriminate turn of the screw
All the time. Where the hell is there time to create?
If I keep feeling this way, indeed I’ll have none.

I need positive feedback to somehow negate
Negative reinforcement that reverberates
Through my entire being. Perceived worthlessness
Will undo me in due time. I made a big mess
Of my life. I’m in fear of what karma awaits.
I’m aware of but reject the hell I create.

Soul Trap

Jul1

Through the contrast that happens here, it is easy
To be thoroughly obsessed with horrible scenes,
And what complicates things is the creative mind
That comes up with stories of the scariest kind.
Contact with what is unknown by any known means
Can be vague and fallacious to a high degree.

There are no negative beings with the power
To influence a person to do something wrong.
They’re contained in their own world and can do no harm.
If you’re having bad luck there’s no need for alarm.
There’s a practical reason, and it won’t be long
Before you’ve figured it out… far less than an hour.

We create our reality through our actions
Which are driven by our beliefs, and our systems
Of logic produce evidence that we perceive.
This will reinforce what we already believe.
There’s nothing in the real world that either condemns
Or administers sorrow for we wicked ones.

So, a trap is something that only works when you
Don’t know that it’s there. That’s how you fall into it.
The real trap is the story you are being told.
If you do not believe it you can’t be controlled.
You can use logic for maximum benefit
To dispel horror stories that some people spew.

Of Two Minds

Jun30

I don’t have to actively create my desires
If I merely focus on following the flow.
Fulfillment of my needs will always manifest
If they are relevant to my being my best.
The current of creation is one that I know
Contains all the things that my existence requires.

In my current of creation there is knowledge
Beyond what my physical mind can comprehend
But the higher mind is what the current contains
While the ego mind thinks it knows all and complains
About guidance it’s given. How can I suspend
It’s behavior? I fell like I’m on the knife’s edge.

Making things happen is a form of resistance
To the current, therefore I must go with the flow
And let my life unfold for me naturally.
Let the perfect machine of synchronicity
Do its good work by stopping thinking that I know
Anything because I don’t. I’m taking a chance.

I’ve no clue whatsoever. This matter is fact.
The beginning of wisdom is knowing that I
Do not know, but the higher mind knows everything.
It knows what needs to happen, and by listening
To its guidance. I have no choice but to comply
With my higher mind for a positive impact.

Change Your Life

Jun27

Disconnect from your busy world. Shut off your phone.
Power down your computer. Turn off the TV.
Sit your body down for a while, and close your eyes.
This is done regularly by people most wise.
Take a break from the routine so that you can be
Properly replenished. You must spend time alone.

Take some deep breaths and center yourself in right now.
Put you attention into the present moment.
You will have more energy with which to create.
After doing this little bit you will feel great.
When the mind wanders, as it will, do not lament.
Just return to the now. By now, you should know how.

Ask yourself, “Can I be defined by a vision
Of the future instead of perverse memories?
What do I want in my life?” Answer truthfully.
Your are changing brain patterns most assuredly.
Decide on which emotions you would gladly seize
For your life moving forward into the long run.

Rehearse in your mind who you are going to be
When you open your eyes after meditation
Or when first waking up. What choices will you make?
You will be better focused while you are awake.
More efficiently you will be getting things done.
Keep this up and your life will change noticeably.

Alone

Jun3

Ever since my childhood I’ve been too much unlike
Other people. I’ve never perceived things the way
They are seen by most others. I do not complain.
For the first time in my life I know I’m insane
But there still is an enormous price I must pay
For the harm that I cause while my mind is on strike.

I cannot get excited about the same things
That would turn on most anyone else without fail.
I’m not sad for the same reasons that others are.
I’ve not felt the same happiness. It’s very far
From that felt by most others in oddest detail.
A victim I have been through my false beginnings.

Everything that I loved I loved all quite alone.
Back when I was a little one loved and cared for
I uncovered for better or worse mysteries
Of existence that nary another one sees.
I know that I am here to experience more
Than the average seeker. My strange life has shown.

From the natural places this earth shows to me
Come the questions and answers that are of essence
To the best of my knowing that all is okay.
This world I am a part of. The part that I play
May seem small but in essence it’s rather immense.
All that I must do now is be happy to be.

The World That Is

May31

The world is not as out of whack as it’s perceived
By the human inhabitant. There’s just a bit
Of negative emotion that has momentum.
One does not need a theory on where it comes from.
The challenge is in our finding some benefit
In its happening wherein some growth is achieved.

Life should feel better to me. I should get what I
Really want without question. I should not suffer.
Things should unfold before me. Power I should feel
That I can make good use of. This world is ideal
As its contrast seeks balance. I do not concur
With all that takes place here. This I cannot deny.

People have lost their sense of worthiness because
Of the distorted story that’s been told to them
About who they are and what they came here to do.
At the point of awakening to what is true,
We have ways we can deal with the psychic mayhem
And it feels good for some to return to what was.

At this time those who are looking at last will find.
Revelations and answers to questions are due
About human behaviors. There’s no one right way
Of living. There are many – too many to say.
We’ve the chance of an eon to try something new.
We must once and for all leave the old world behind.
