How To Pray

Consumed In Prayer

You can pray from a place of extreme need or from
Thankfulness. Which way do you think gets more results?
For some, praying is like going to the toilet.
It’s become a mere function that’s used just to get
Satisfaction. But what if your praying insults
That which hears it? You can’t expect a good outcome.

When you pray out of indignation and despair
It sets up a vibration that makes the problem
More severe. You give it more of your attention.
In your praying you’re better off not to mention
Any issues because God knows all about them.
When you speak to divinity do so with care.

Santa Claus was a big thing when you were yet small.
Since then you’ve come to know that it all was a lie
But you still pray as if God comes down the chimney
Once a year with the answers you seek earnestly.
You may pray your behind off yet ask yourself why
God has not taken time to respond to your call.

When you pray from a place of appreciation
You put yourself in a better state to receive
Maybe not what you’re asking for this time around
But relief from your misery will have been found.
A state of alignment isn’t hard to achieve
As you find the object of your adoration.

Soothing Thoughts

Fresh Thinking

Can I heal myself through my determination
To do so? Can I figure out what to do then
Set a goal and achieve it? These thoughts are upstream
And I know they won’t help me to fulfill my dream
Of a life of simplicity. I don’t know when
I’ve ever been in such a tough situation.

I need thoughts that are downstream. I need to let go
Of a ton of resistance. It stands in the way
Of my becoming the person I’m meant to be.
I must know that there’s nothing the matter with me.
To get into alignment what price must I pay?
It’s that of being willing to go with the flow.

My life has caused me to create it. I know it’s
Waiting for me. I don’t have to worry about
It becoming reality. I don’t have to
Figure it all out right now. All I need to do
Is to keep myself free of any thoughts of doubt
Which means I cannot focus too much on my wits.

It’s natural for things to turn out well for me.
There’s no rush. I’ve got plenty of time to do this.
When I feel like doing it, it always feels good.
When I don’t, then it sucks. It’s now well understood.
All the things that are going well I can’t dismiss.
To think any thought I want I’m perfectly free.

The Science Of Gratitude

Giving Love

By adopting an attitude of gratitude
You improve your wellbeing, increase happiness,
And promote healthy interactions with others.
Anyone who’s had sisters, brothers, or mothers
Knows one thing about gratitude – it relieves stress
And it does wonders for elevating one’s mood.

People who purposefully appreciate more
Have reported that they have higher self-esteem
Than those who don’t so much. The science doesn’t lie.
For this reason you should give gratitude a try.
You’ll have blessings coming to you in the extreme.
Think of all the many things that you’re grateful for.

People who capture grateful thoughts before they sleep
Will sleep better than those who don’t. Why is this so?
Gratitude actually does rewire the brain.
Chemical interactions therein help you gain
Some momentum so that you’re allowing the flow
Of feelings and memories that you get to keep.

The good feeling neurotransmitters activate
The bliss center of the brain. Regular practice
Of being happy trains your prefrontal cortex
In a manner that often seems very complex.
Say to yourself, “It doesn’t get better than this!”
Gratitude is a wonderful way to feel great.

Your Spiritual Essence

Spiritual Pattern

Humankind and injustice are peas in a pod
So it seems from this vantage point. Who can believe
That we’re all made of spirit? If you’re having doubt
That our enlightenment is what we’re all about
Then you’re not alone. Everything people perceive
Has an essence of evil which is a façade.

Everything is of spirit including the one
Who appears to be evil and in this earth school
Nothing matters but spiritual refinement.
Do we each come with a specific assignment?
Perhaps it’s simply to follow the golden rule
Which would mean that everyone should have lots of fun.

Your Vortex of Creation contains all that you
Have been wanting from day one. It’s vibrational
In essence. You access it when you feel your best.
When you do anything you want will manifest.
Feeling is your link to what is spiritual.
That you are a spiritual being it’s true.

You have come forth into this physical body
With the delicious intention of being a
Full-blown deliberate creator. Do your best
To remain in congruence with your happiest
Ever moments. Your expansion happens this way.
Be concerned with your growing vibrationally.

Inner Guidance

Specific Direction

Facing reality only regurgitates
It in essence. There’s plenty of reality
That you want to keep replicated but then there
Are things that only lead to much grief and despair.
If you focus too much on those things then you’ll be
Not your best self. Indeed you’ll be someone who hates.

Your emotions will tell you exactly what you
Need to know in each moment so pay attention
To what they have to say. They’re your guidance system.
If you choose you can gain much benefit from them.
How you feel cannot be beyond comprehension.
You can always be sure that what you feel is true.

When you’re driving on the expressway and you drift
Off the road then the rough pavement will let you know
That you’re getting off track. It’s an indication
Of that fact only. It’s not a condemnation
Of your action. Your emotions exist to show
How far off track you are. Consider them a gift.

If a thought doesn’t feel good then go general.
If it feels entertaining then get specific.
Milk it for all that it has and be satisfied
That the good feelings you get cannot be denied.
They can guide you to feeling rather fantastic.
You should know that your happiness should be normal.

The Vibration Of Trust

Frequency Alignment

The digestion of chaos and uncertainty
Takes its toll on the psyche. The civil cold war
Is ongoing, evolving, and penetrating.
There’s much done to perfect the fine art of hating.
So barbaric a mindset remains at the core
Of the heart of American society.

What a hell of a place to begin breaking free
From the feeling of discomfort. It can be done
By not looking at it and by looking elsewhere.
But by doing so does it mean one doesn’t care?
One does not have control over how things are run.
In order to be happy one must let things be.

I find resonance with what I know to be true.
I’m Source Energy in a physical body.
I’ve come here with the purpose of launching desires.
They can become a reality. It requires
Only focus upon what’s appealing to me.
Then I find satisfaction in all that I do.

The Vibration Of Trust is one of clarity
About what I want and the Law of Attraction.
I trust the unobservable. The unexplained
Works well for me when my Vibration is maintained.
Life for me is all about my satisfaction
And spiritual growth is my reason to be.

The Fastest Path To Happiness

Happy Wet

The shortest distance between two points is a line
That is straight and The Fastest Path To Happiness
Is a heartfelt rampage of appreciation.
When your moments are those of exhilaration
Then the God force within you is who you express.
Don’t be shy about relating to the divine.

How can you get happy? That’s not quite the question
To be asking if you’re in anger or despair.
You can get to frustration and then hopefulness.
The emotional ladder climb is a process
That may take some time. Whatever can get you there
Fairly quickly remains your loving expression.

Look around for something to feel good about and
Speak about it. When you find something that you feel
A little movement on milk it for all it’s got.
Beat the drum of it. Get rid of thoughts that are not
In alignment with what you want. The ideal
Circumstances happen as if by your command.

Set the tone for your day by appreciating
Anything you can think of or find in your heart
To feel good about. As it becomes easier
To do so notice all the blessings that occur
Through your day. Get it off to a wonderful start
By accepting the wellbeing that’s awaiting.

Ask And It Is Answered

Glowing Question

If taking that big leap sounds intimidating
Then don’t take it right now. Get it out of your mind.
Pay more attention to your point of attraction.
Focus on things that bring you deep satisfaction.
Action can wait until you’re properly aligned
With your true self which for you is advocating.

Your Vortex of Creation is a feeling place.
It contains every answer to every question
You’ve been asking since day one. It knows everything
That you want. Your knowing that it’s able to bring
It all to you should keep you the confident one
Even though it exists now beyond time and space.

Negative emotion tells you that you’re nowhere
Near alignment with your true self. It lets you know
That it’s not in agreement with the thought that you
Are now thinking and since how it sees things is true
It’s most wise that you allow it to run the show.
Be receptive to everything it wants to share.

Ask your inner being questions like, “Am I good?
And if so am I worthy of all I desire?
Am I morally bankrupt and good for nothing.”

When you ask each be aware of what you’re feeling.
If it’s not good can you be a truth denier?
Answers to all your questions will be understood.

Your Highest Vibration

Colorful Vibes

Everything is vibrating at a frequency
Of its own. This includes people, things, and places.
Our emotions and ideas also vibrate
In fact this is the major way people create
Their realities. That which the heart embraces
Puts the soul in a condition of harmony.

Emotions often wobble. It’s hard to maintain
A serene state indefinitely as it were.
This can be overcome by appreciating
What you have going for you. It means everything
To your point of attraction. All that you prefer
Out of life happens for you. So much you can gain.

When you’ve chilled out about what you want to achieve
Then it comes into better view. Learn to massage
Random thoughts into those better feeling places.
You reach a higher vibration by the graces
Of your intent and focus so don’t sabotage
Your control and your ability to receive.

When you’re out of alignment and you offer more
Of your effort your hard work will have been in vain.
Get into the receiving mode where energy,
Stamina, good ideas, and vitality
Really come from. Alignment you want to attain
And look after. Keep after the things you adore.

Source Will Show You The Way

Water Way

You’re a powerful being. You’re worthy beyond
Conception or description and you’re wanting to
Be in this sweet spot of creation where you’ve mixed
It all up and by now you have your focus fixed
On your heart’s desire. Life’s contrast stirs within you
A wanting to which the universe will respond.

Source is God. It is that which we can’t comprehend
But we can reach a state where we experience
The divine in its essence. We’re all connected
To this God Source. It knows what’s to be expected
Of each one of us and it comes to our defense
When we’re unkind to ourselves. It’s like a good friend.

Get into the receiving mode. Let the contrast
Be the canvas you paint upon. Your masterpiece
Is created when you decide to get happy
And the Source within you agrees wholeheartedly.
There’s nothing better than feeling your joy increase
And then finding ways easily to make it last.

The path of Source is the path of least resistance.
Source knows how to get you to where you want to be
With the least effort and the most satisfaction.
Learn to trust fully in the Law of Attraction.
Let Source talk you into becoming totally
Who you’re meant to be under any circumstance.

Divine Intervention

Global Hope

To have one foot in one world and the other in
Relative clarity is to be alive now.
Does believing in evil cause it to become
Dominant and pervasive? Does beating the drum
Of defiance relieve the frustration somehow?
Can there be redemption of original sin?

Feeling like not enough of a price has been paid
For a sense of wellbeing and prosperity
People struggle to get their share of the big pie.
This mindset of lack is the only reason why
There are those who will always be in poverty.
One puts forth the effort but no progress is made.

We are vibrational beings. Things are always
Working out for us even when things appear bleak.
Most of us don’t believe in this kind of thing though.
It would be helpful if more people got to know
Their true selves. Then only harmony would they seek.
All we can do right now is to hope for those days.

A Divine Intervention perhaps is what needs
To take place. It can be a change in consciousness
And a shift in our vibrational energy.
Nothing on this earth is more powerful than We
The People
with serious issues to address.

As the world learns to grow each one of us succeeds.

Your Main Mantra

Relaxation Therapy

Every guru is governed by one simple phrase
Of their choosing. The words have specific intent.
Usually it’s used to keep oneself aligned
With one’s purpose. Most gurus just want to be kind
And of service. They’re experts at being content.
No matter what’s occurring they’re happy always.

Watch for the next opportunity and the next…
And the next to be happy. Your mantra should be,
“I’m to live happily ever after.” Make it
Your Main Mantra and use it to your benefit.
Your only work in life is to live happily.
Do what the best part of you sincerely expects.

The eternal symbol is what you’re reaching for.
You don’t need to accomplish some world changing feat
To be happy. Your recognition of success
Is in how many lives in this world you can bless
With your positive presence. Be willing to greet
Everyone with the love that is everyone’s core.

When you’re in that conscious intertwining with who
You are truly you are love, the world is a place
Of much beauty and wonder, and life is a breeze.
You can navigate any circumstance with ease.
The whole universe of which you are you embrace.
The power of happiness resides within you.

Serving Others

Pleasant Discourse

“How can I be of service?” This question comes from
Deep within the heart. It’s most fulfilling to be
In a position of service to everyone.
Never mind competition. If you’re having fun
Serving Others then you live your life happily.
To people who serve others many blessings come.

You need not ask the question, “What’s my purpose here?”
It will always be found in service to others.
Put your attention on making life better for
Someone else. The more you uplift others the more
You’re uplifted. A warmth in your spirit occurs
In your heart when your mission is perfectly clear.

It’s an ancient concept but it’s still relevant.
To touch someone’s life is more valuable than
Any amount of money. If you believe you
Need what you don’t have then you’ve gone a bit cuckoo
Regarding how you function in life but you can
Overcome many issues you think that you can’t.

The message of the morning is about what you
Can and can’t do but after the afternoon shift
It’s about service and knowing that everything
Is all taken care of. Be content in being
Of service to others. It’s a most precious gift.
Take this message to heart in whatever you do.

I Am That I Am

Center Of Eternity

When you hear someone call your name you would expect
It to have come from a person and not a bush
That is burning. If such a thing happened to me
I would not be as calm and composed. I would be
Figuring out the fastest way to get my tush
Out of Dodge. Would my behavior be incorrect?

“Take your sandals off, Moses. You’re on holy ground.
I’m the God of your father, Isaac, Abraham,
And Jacob.”
Moses hid his face. He was afraid

That indeed some horrendous mistake had been made
Yet he did have courage because he didn’t scram
As I would have done. Bless him for hanging around.

God had orders for Moses. “Take your people out
Of Egypt and take them all back to Israel.”

Moses had questions but the biggest one he had
Was how would he convince folks he hadn’t gone mad.
“Who should I say that told me to do this, pray tell?”
That they would believe him he had tremendous doubt.

God replied, “Tell them ‘I Am That I Am’ sent you.
This is my name forever. This is how I’ll be
Remembered for many generations to come.”
It’s a name that makes you want to scratch your head some.

I Am is the name of God so naturally
When you utter the words I Am, you are that too.

Time Has Come

Consumption Of Spirit

We are standing at the threshold of a nightmare
Or the beginning of a whole new way of life.
Artificial intelligence is promoted
By a few folk who are only interested
In pure profit. How can it eliminate strife?
When you’re down on your luck how could a robot care?

Are they themselves the result of what a human
Being will evolve into when disconnected
From the real force of the universe? Is there light
Within the human heart? Do they know wrong from right?
There are some whose hearts will never be affected
By the feelings of others. It’s not in their plan.

Yet the kingdom of heaven is within us all.
Difficult it is to see how this can be true
Nowadays but we must remember who we are
And what our purpose is. We have strayed way too far
Off the right path. Is there anything we can do?
Will our ignorance ultimately be our fall?

We are light beings with access to the greatest
Medicine. It is the light consciousness within.
We can radiate wholeness, love, and compassion
Rather than fear and hatred. We will have begun
Something worthy of passing to our next of kin.
In the future of our species we must invest.

The Ego’s Reflections

Self Reflections

I can’t give you a dozen apples unless I
Go and get them from somewhere. What else could I do?
If I haven’t love in my heart then I can’t give
It to anyone else. If the way that I live
Is unworthy because of the things that I do
Then I cannot give up on my wondering why.

If what I have in my heart is raging contempt
For another then what’s reflected back to me
Is the worst in all people and I’ll attract those
Of a pugnacious nature and those who oppose
Any semblance of peace or generosity.
My vibration would be decidedly unkempt.

Reflections on our inner worlds can show us parts
Of ourselves that are hidden from our awareness
Consciously otherwise. They tell us what we need
To work on. As the spirit within us is freed
Whatever we focus on will be a success.
It may feel good to us to uplift others’ hearts.

A reflection of our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings
Is our lives. Our relationships, home lives, careers
And so on show us what we can appreciate
And what to do more work on. The lives we create
For ourselves take us to fascinating frontiers.
All things are possible when the happy heart sings.

From Fear To Curiosity

Curious Child

If you want to escape from your cage you must die
While you’re still alive. This means you must change your whole
Way of looking at life. The great master follows
His own nature and not all the folly that goes
Along with life. Your freedom is your only goal
And your own heart is the one you must satisfy.

A person who is truly good isn’t aware
Of his goodness. He tends not to accumulate
Anything but instead will give everything to
Everyone else. His kindness and wisdom are true
To his nature. He has learned to appreciate
All of life. Only love a good person will share.

The more one gives the more one receives in return.
That should never be the reason for being kind.
Kindness comes with the wisdom of feeling complete
In oneself. It becomes habitual to treat
Everyone kindly. One lives with true peace of mind.
No divisions among people does one discern.

When pursuing your passion keep kindness in mind
And in heart and let fear be a thing of the past.
Your can move From your Fear To Curiosity
When you see your life as an opportunity.
You were meant to feel good sorting through the contrast.
That humanity is interesting you’ll find.

A Fast And Powerful Prayer

Moment Of Prayer

Those who claim that they’re not insane probably are
And vice versa. Those who think that they’re of ill mind
Really aren’t. There’s a middle ground where I reside.
My own character defects no more can I hide
From myself nor all others. I’m no longer blind
To the sins I’ve committed. It feels most bizarre.

“You’re busted, disgusted, and not to be trusted,”
Says the blue book about me and my drunkenness
And because of my neediness I’m a tough nut
To be cracked. I’m reminded that I don’t know what
The hell I’m doing most of the time. I confess
That my bad attitude needs to be adjusted.

Once a Jesuit priest named Father Joe Riley
Gave an answer to the question, “What’s the shortest
Most powerful prayer in the world?”
He replied,

“That would be, ‘Fuck It!’” meaning don’t worry your hide
Over small stuff. His answer succinctly expressed
Is effective. It may be the best thing for me.

In an instant the weight of the world is lifted
From my shoulders as I pray for total release
Of the things I can’t handle. I’m able to see
What I’ve done with my life quite a bit more clearly.
The surrender contributes to my inner peace
As the whole of my mindset has now been shifted.

Your Inner Voice

Intuition

Are you willing to listen to that Inner Voice
That no one else can hear that says, “You can’t tell me
What I’m here for.”?
It takes a certain fearlessness

To face up to its message. You are nonetheless
Capable of compliance. It wants you to be
In a place where your life is a thing you rejoice.

Do what you want because of the passion you feel –
Not because of the money, prestige, and fanfare.
Do not write a book or get another degree
Unless you feel deeply that’s who you’re meant to be.
There will come a time when not a person will care
Much about you. The probability is real.

Your Inner Voice whispers. It will not speak loudly.
You must get quiet to hear what it has to say.
Don’t confuse it with the noise of your intellect
Which is loud in comparison. Do redirect
Your attention to silence. You will in this way
Get insight from your state of receptivity.

You know which voice to listen to. It’s the sane one –
The one that will guide you to where you want to be.
The voice of the ego train yourself to ignore.
Your Inner Voice can offer you a lot more
In the way of living your life more happily.
Do behold your magnificent journey begun.

Sacred Geometry

Eternity Symbols

Since the old days of Plato and Pythagoras
Sacred Geometry has spurred speculation
And wonder. Skeptics insist finding these common
Patterns throughout nature that reflect the Brahman
Are of happenstance. In contrast, adoration
Is given to these symbols by the mystic mass.

The Cave of Brahma can activate a wide range
Of new abilities and states of consciousness.
The daily practice of Sacred Geometry
Will increase your physical and mind energy.
Staring at these symbols can eliminate stress
And the mystics insist that your whole life can change.

Various traditions believe these symbols make
Up the building blocks of our reality. So
Basic and ornate shapes common throughout nature
Each have meaning and power. Their nomenclature
Is of elegance. It’s as if they want to show
That our not noticing them would be a mistake.

Meditators use Sri Yantras and mandalas
As objects to focus upon to further hone
Their mindfulness ability. It’s a fine way
To express your spirituality each day.
 You can do this with others or when you’re alone.
You will never go back to the way that it was.

Seeing Clearly

Wisdom

I believe self-reliance is something that I
Meant to learn here but didn’t. The time that remains
I must use expeditiously. Had I been born
Under different circumstances would the scorn
That I feel for myself yield to me any gains?
This question is ridiculous and I know why.

My focus needs adjusting. The lessons I need
To learn are automatic. I need not depend
However on pure happenstance. I’m free to choose
The time schedule. There isn’t any time to lose.
Years remaining accentuate the subtrahend
From the total. I now have to pick up some speed.

Had I lived in an orphanage I would have been
Self-reliant in no time but that’s not the way
It turned out for me. I can learn from my mistakes.
I can also accept life’s many lucky breaks
But in doing so I’ll take care not to betray
My own purpose. I’m taught this again and again.

I can begin to see my life not just as a
Series of accidents, failures, and huge mistakes.
Everything that has ever happened plays a part
In the dharma of my life. I take this to heart
When I think of the past and all of its heartaches.
In a state of self-soothing I’m willing to stay.

Spirit

Precipice Of Eternity

Spirit is as it was and will be evermore
The basis of existence. We are connected
To Spirit by virtue of our being alive
So it’s not some condition where one has to strive
For perfection. Spirit should not be neglected.
It is the source of all that we are asking for.

You’re already connect to everything in
Your life you think is missing. It’s spiritual
In essence. You have to be in the receiving
Mode to get it. It’s not by your disbelieving
That things happen. You must perform the ritual
Of belief in yourself. Now’s the time to begin.

There’s nothing outside of you. You’re everything and
Everyone. There’s no ‘them.’ We are all part of one
Unified field of energy. When you reflect
On this truth and its power then you can expect
Things to happen your way and you will have begun
An adventure of happiness by your command.

Not a tree has branches so foolish as to fight
Among themselves. The drama that plays out right now
Will resolve itself or we’ll continue to be
Caught up in the grotesque scourge of humanity.
What is that thing within some that wants to allow
Retrogression of consciousness? It isn’t right.

Make An Impact

Ready For The Fight

This world has many problems, some very severe.
It also has wellbeing, love, and happiness.
It seems like a no brainer that you would want to
Do whatever you can to help people get through
Difficulties. Compassion you’d want to express
To the ones in need of it. Your purpose is clear.

It can be overwhelming. The information
Floods the mind and it penetrates into your soul.
Complicated it all seems but it’s just unfair.
The world would be much better if people would care
More about one another. You can play the role
Of the uplifter with your friendly vibration.

The effect that you have on others is for you
The most valuable currency you possess.
Everything you gain in life will wither away
But the kindness you offer is likely to stay
In the hearts of most people. Can this be success?
In the mirror of life your reflection is true.

Life gives us not what we want. It gives us who we
Truly are and that is who can Make An Impact
In our everyday lives by the peace that we make
Among ourselves. Every bit of time that we take
To uplift others uplifts us. This is a fact.
Live your life not in vain but compassionately.

Kindness

Carefree Giving

Just imagine if there were no comparison,
Greed or envy. The world would be a nicer place
To grow up in. If eight billion of us could be
More respectful and loving perhaps we would see
Positive transformation of the human race.
Imagine all the good work that we could get done.

We may never see this kind of thing come to be
In our lifetimes but we can begin with our own
Thoughts and actions. A good example you can set
For others and your doing so requires no sweat.
When your compassion and understanding are shown
To the world around you, you live more happily.

Not matter how well educated, talented,
Rich, or cool you believe you are, it’s how you treat
Other people that ultimately tells the tale.
If kindness and wellbeing are meant to prevail
Then the darkness you see in the world can’t compete
With your wholeness. It’s your goodness you want to spread.

Kindness spreads like a virus. You can influence
Other people to be kind. The difference you
Make in someone’s life is what is most important.
There’s no reason on earth for you to think you can’t
Begin creating a world exciting and new.
All the love that we’re capable of is immense.

The Awakening

Bright Christmas Smile

We adore our young children. The smile on the face
Of a toddler at Christmas is precious indeed.
We want them to believe that the world is okay
For a while at least until we come to that day
When the real world around us offers us the need
To come up with a truth that the child can embrace.

Santa Claus is a figure so is there a way
Of transitioning from receiving from someone
In a costume to becoming a Santa Claus?
We cannot teach them about spiritual laws.
When the time comes we will know what has to be done.
Inspiration will give us the right words to say.

Many children think there’s no Santa because they
Are not ready to be Santa. When they become
Receptive to the notion that giving is good
For the spirit then Santa Claus is understood
As the Spirit – the One who good tidings come from.
In the most positive Spirit you want to stay.

Play this game with your children. Tell them to go find
Someone who needs a blessing. There secret mission
Is to find something that someone truly desires
Then fulfill it with the thing the person requires.
Giving is only about the acquisition
Of the good feeling of being thoughtful and kind.

Silent Night

Christmas Keys

With his fingers stretched over the old organ keys
Father Joe took a deep breath. He’d hoped it would be
A good night for practicing the song he would play
For the people of his village on Christmas day
But the old organ’s pipes were rusted completely.
Father Joe could do nothing but drop to his knees.

The bellows were mildewed. The old organ would wheeze
If it could, then go quiet. He’d hoped it would hold
Together until the organ builder arrived.
He was certain his people would not be deprived
Of his music. The story begins to unfold
When an old manuscript he had written he sees.

He had written a poem a few years before.
It was called “Silent Night” – a song of happiness.
He took it to a colleague. Together they came
Up with music for it and in Jesus’ name
It became a song sung by the world to express
Gratitude for the savior who people adore.

When the people arrived for the service they were
A bit puzzled by Father Joe with a guitar
And his dear friend, and as their two voice rang out
The church choir then joined in. It was without a doubt
A good night before Christmas. How thankful we are
That this story of co-creating did occur.

Light Expanding Meditation

Enlightenment

Everyone deserves happiness, freedom, and peace
And to find some relief from the daily routine.
Your life force is depleted by worldly affairs
And its replenishment is what your spirit cares
About greatly. Its urging to you can be seen
As a sign that you have some tension to release.

All the universe is made of light energy
Which includes your own body. When you meditate
You align yourself with this eternal life force.
Everyone has access to this powerful source.
Take time to get into the meditative state.
It can only affect your life positively.

It begins with your breathing. Take a big breath in
While envisioning the beautiful cleansing light
Coming from your heart center and extending far
Into eternity. It’s who you really are.
Breathe out stresses and worries and become the bright
Light that you are in essence. This isn’t a sin.

The awareness you come to through meditation
Is in contrast to your normal reality.
It’s good to escape there every once in a while.
As you do you can take much of life with a smile.
In a constant state of alignment you can be.
A world that is peaceful is your own creation.

The Holy Instant

Creation

How things came into being is not the question
To be asked by anyone. It has no answer
That can be understood. All that science can tell
With their theories is that some force had cast a spell
Then the universe happened. It is, as it were,
Not a topic conducive to one’s digestion.

This schoolhouse of creation had to come to be
Out of what is called nothingness. One can ask why
It exists in the first place. The answer to that
Is within your own consciousness. Take a look at
All the drama. The lessons one cannot deny.
Getting through them all can be done successfully.

All exists in an Instant in eternity
So you cannot determine the curriculum.
It’s been preset already. You cannot decide
On the teaching resources. To be satisfied
With the lessons is where the will to live comes from.
One accepts the Holy Instant ultimately.

The Atonement occurs in the purified mind
In the one Holy Instant. Realization
Of it happening keeps one in a constant state
Of becoming. The ego wants to complicate
The whole process. The subtle art of creation
Is mastered when with one’s spirit one is aligned.

Forgiveness Is The Plan For Now

Sincere Prayer

In this world there is horror, unspeakable pain,
And depression. The hatred for one another
Is appalling. How does a world turn out this way?
Are there powerful sinister forces at play?
There are two sides. One can pick one or the other.
Those who don’t pick one are the ones driven insane.

It’s beyond devastating what you have gone through.
There’s no way to describe it only that it’s more
Than you thought you could handle. You cannot deny
Your own feelings of hatred as hard as you try.
Some relief from the pain is all you’re looking for.
Nothing short of a miracle will comfort you.

There’s a plan with a purpose which is to restore
Everything to its oneness. It’s in place right now.
You cannot accept it in the past or future.
Now is the only time that you have to secure
Peace of mind. It is you who must choose to allow
The true sense of wellbeing that you had before.

The ego tries to convince you that you will be
Happy when you see justice but your spirit knows
What you want more than you do and it’s not to hate.
The world also has much you can appreciate.
Bring the dark and insane episode to a close.
You can decide to relearn to live happily.

Thy Will Be done

Eternal Flame

In my doing I want to be fully aligned
With the One who created me. I don’t want to
Be a slave to my ego. I want to transcend
Far beyond it. My spirit would most recommend
That I give up the struggle and alter the view
That I have of my life. Peace of mind I will find.

I can say that I’m almost there. I’m not waiting
To collect a huge fortune or net some outcome
In the world that shows favor to me in some way.
Things are going well. I’m close. I cannot betray
My wellbeing. I don’t want to drift away from
My alignment. I treasure what I’m creating.

I surrender my ego to that which made me.
The relief I find in this is truly profound.
It’s the safest prayer and it’s the only one
To be prayed. I pray that the will of God be done
Here on earth. May the peace of the Maker abound.
From the will of humanity let me be free.

When I pray, “Thy Will Be Done,” I alleviate
The angst in my intention. I leave it up to
God to handle. I’m headed in the direction
Of salvation and wholesome interconnection
With the world as my spirit guides all that I do.
May I be a tool that God uses to create.

Daily Mantras

Blossoming

When I ask it is given but I have to be
In the receptive mode before I can partake
Of the blessings God offers. If there’s resistance
In my asking it’s as if I don’t stand a chance
Of receiving. This habit of mine I must break
And I will get rid of it eventually.

I’m perfect the way I am – the way God made me
So I don’t need to seek perfection anywhere
But within me then everything else is just fine.
I cannot lose my connection with the divine
In fact we are quite an inseparable pair
Though there are certain times when we do not agree.

God is never wrong and anytime that I feel
Negative emotion I know that I’m not in
Alignment with God’s version of what I perceive
And since all good comes from God I have to believe
In redemption from having lived a life of sin.
I do not want to make of my life an ordeal.

I feel that I’m not good enough as I recall
My past insane behavior. It causes me pain
To do so. I’d much rather think that I’m okay.
A life of misery is a huge price to pay
For the past. There’s no goal that I need to attain.
What I contribute to life I pray isn’t small.

Nonphysical Forces

Celestial Being

It’s been said that there’s nothing to worry about
As the earth spins in perfect proximity to
The sun and other planets. The physical world
Is an elegant mystery to be unfurled
And respected because it’s the right thing to do.
It’s a wonder how everything seems to work out.

Before time, space, and physical reality…
Or perhaps along with it, the spiritual
World existed. It gave birth to all that is known
To be physical. It means that we’re not alone
In this huge cosmic haystack though it’s natural
For a person to think that’s the way it must be.

Outside time and perception there’s no resistance
To the flow of thought energy so consciousness
Is complete and eternal. It has to take part
In creation. This notion is taken to heart
By all those who have nothing but love to express.
All of existence didn’t just happen by chance.

All those who’ve come before you who have passed away
Are still with you. They’re focused on your here and now.
Are you letting the magic happen or are you
Pinching it of by doing that thing that you do
That prevents it? It doesn’t take much to allow
Spiritual forces to take part in your day.

The Perfection Of Who You Are

Happy Heart

Learn to accept The Perfection Of Who You Are.
Your society tells you that you’re imperfect.
Don’t believe it! Believe what your spirit tells you.
That you have to redeem yourself just isn’t true.
For your own spiritual health you must reject
Any notion that from perfection you are far.

Embrace the contrast that produces expansion.
Love yourself the way your inner being loves you.
Look at the bigger picture and find resonance
With who you truly are. Give your spirit the chance
To uplift you in everything you choose to do.
Learn to feel love and compassion for everyone.

When you stand in your place of understanding how
The cooperative components coalesce
Around you that’s when you know that you have control
Of your manifestations as you become whole
With their coming to being. You find happiness
When the wellbeing present you learn to allow.

Accept that the process is one of perfection.
Do your best to make dominant the larger part
Of yourself who knows everything you need to know.
Release enough resistance that off you will go
With your life of which you’ve made into a fine art.
Be aware of your spiritual connection.

Start Asking Spirit For Help

Contemplation

What you don’t want you know now. It’s evidenced by
The distress you experience from day to day.
Whether it be the state of the world as you know
Or your personal story of pain and sorrow
Be assured that through spirit you can find your way
Back to knowing how yourself you can satisfy.

When you know what you don’t want you know what you do.
When someone is rude to you you want them to be
More respectful. If you feel pain you want to feel
Relief from it. You favor what is most ideal.
All this is to say that you want to be happy.
Spirit knows everything that’s going on with you.

You were spirit before you were born and you’re still
Spirit now with a body. You’re an extension
Of spiritual energy. You can access
Your own spirit by altering your consciousness
Or you can simply by paying more attention
To how you feel. You can find contentment at will.

Your emotional guidance system connects you
With your spirit. Whenever you feel negative
Emotion it means that you’re not in agreement
With your spirit. Only by your conscious intent
Do you ask in a way that your spirit will give
You the answer. You have much to look forward to.

What God Wants You To Know

Realm Of Divinity

It’s about your accepting the sheer perfection
Of who you are as a human being. For so
Long no matter what platform you were born into
You were taught that you’re not perfect. This isn’t true.
This is the biggest thing that God wants you to know
And it’s worth keeping part of your recollection.

God wants you always to embrace all the contrast
In your life because it produces expansion.
You’re an eternal being. You must find a way
To love yourself no matter what. You want to stay
In that state of wellbeing where you are the one
In control and you’re able to remain steadfast.

Anytime you’re not loving yourself you may feel
Guilt or shame. Even hope has a bit of a stain
Of uncertainty. All that it means is that you
Have forgotten the wonderful things God can do.
You can be healed of your troublesome self-disdain
In an instant. Any ailment you have can heal.

Do your best to make dominant the larger part
Of yourself who knows all of this. Don’t sweat the small
Stuff. It’s all small compared to your ability
To grab hold of some of God’s awesome energy.
Get yourself hooked up with the being who knows all.
All feelings of divinity come from the heart.

Past Lives

Pastel Fog

When you make your transition from your physical
Body back into nonphysical a process
Of clearing happens. Thoughts of negativity
Are released. From all resistance you become free.
You return to your pure clarity of wholeness.
How it happens escapes your human rationale.

Isn’t it logical though that if negative
Thoughts don’t reemerge with you they cannot return
In a future life? The reason you don’t recall
Your Past Lives is because they don’t matter at all
To how you live your current life and your concern
With the past will play havoc with how you now live.

You don’t come back to fix the mess you left behind
Nor to compensate for your ill deeds of the past.
You come here for the newness each time you arrive.
In this world of the physical you’re meant to thrive.
Spirit smiles upon you when you’re having a blast.
It’s the general mission of all humankind.

Sometimes you’ll see someone who has a tremendous
Talent or genius for something. Their momentum
Was started in a past life and continues on
Through the present life and what you’re focused upon
With intensity is what you benefit from.
Your Past Lives are not something for you to discuss.

I Decided To Live

What Now?

At that moment a long time ago when I was
In abject desolation over what I felt
Was a life made unlivable by my own hand
Nothing made any sense. I could not understand
Why I’d come into being. Far below the belt
Was my consciousness and I knew what was the cause.

I’m a loser. That’s such and unkind thing to say
Of oneself or of anyone but it’s so true.
I’ve done things I’m ashamed of. I’ve acted the fool.
In my trying to live life I broke every rule.
I’ve been a rotten bastard to everyone who
I have ever known. How did I turn out this way?

I’ve burnt every bridge I know. Now with urgency
I confess that I’m not the kind of person who
Is deserving of anything but psychic pain.
I don’t blame the fact that I’ve made myself insane
By my defects of character. What can I do
To express my remorse for what I’d come to be?

I believe in past lives. This life I’m living now
Is a fluke. It’s as if I’m not human at all
But an alien sent here to learn a few things
About being a decent person and it brings
On a deep sense of sorrow that I’m yet a small
Reflection of humanity gone wrong somehow.

Yet I know that my chance of survival is slim
As I hold on to this story. I want to live
Out this mess of a life and perhaps finally
Turn out to be the person I wanted to be.
I believe that I still have a whole lot to give.
I don’t want to believe that my future is dim.

To all those whom I’ve harmed know that I’m now aware
Of the damage I’ve done. I can only regret
Having done it. My sorrow is deep and profound.
There’s no way that I’m able to turn things around
At this point. Am I able to repay my debt?
That’s the question I’m left to ponder with much care.

Don’t Think Too Much

Wishing And Hoping

Letting go of attachment is like holding on
To detachment. In either case it can’t be done.
Your attention to something you don’t want will stay
Active in your vibration. You must find some way
To suspend you attention. You’re the only one
Who can do this and it’s a conclusion foregone.

There’s no law of attachment. No such thing exists.
There’s the Law of Attraction and that’s the only
One that’s important. You attract by how you feel.
Thinking too much about it is no way to deal
With the issue whatever it happens to be.
Your spirit wants its freedom but your mind resists.

What you want to do is make active the things that
You do want. Know that there’s a big conspiracy.
All nonphysical beings are pulling for you.
Does it matter if this is false or if it’s true?
Just believe it and in a short time you will see
Indications that you cannot shake a stick at.

It’s about your deciding what you want to do
Rather than working so hard on preventing what
You don’t want to do. Your inner being knows where
You are, where you want to be, and how to get there.
It knows how to lead you out of your psychic rut.
Feel your way toward deciding what’s best for you.

Never Alone

Onlooking

Those who’ve gone long before you are still with you now
In this moment along with all those who you know
In the present who you interact with each day.
What you need to know is never too far away
Nor are you ever disconnected from the flow
Of their consciousness. You need only to allow.

Although earth is a schoolhouse you’re not here to be
Tested or challenged. You’re here to be supported
And inspired. Once you make that adjustment you will
Be on top of the world. Every day is a thrill
To behold. Nothing about life is distorted.
Through the contrast you can learn to live life with glee.

Realize what kind of an emotional grid
There is for you then do your work which is to tune
Into it by deliberately reaching for
Thoughts that feel good so that you receive a lot more.
You can build your excitement for life just as soon
As you let go of what your spirit would forbid.

Let the vitality and the clarity come.
Let the provident infinite intelligent
Universe inundate you with passion and grace.
To create the reality you want to face
Is your purpose for being. Your being content
With your here and now is where all blessings come from.

Let Go And Let God

The Threshold

Long before all else fails why not put yourself in
A more trusting position? If you’re doing well
But you want more to happen you have to believe
That it will. The only thing you have to achieve
Is alignment with that which is ringing your bell.
Not to do so would be committing a grave sin.

Don’t take score about where your are. Trust the process.
If you make peace with where you are you will succeed
In the long run due to your improved attitude.
Let the spirit within you cause you to conclude
That all is well. You want to let go of the need
To keep measuring your spiritual progress.

Let go of the oars and let the boat turn around
So that it’s pointed downstream. There’s nothing upstream
That you want. Let how you feel determine the way
That your boat turns. Once it does it’s easy to stay
Pointed downstream where life can be lived like a dream.
In your surrendering control much can be found.

When you feel negative emotion it means that
Your boat is pointed upstream. Find some way to find
Some relief from the opposition and the stress.
To the minds who create worlds you have full access.
As you Let Go And Let God you’ll be more inclined
To feel better. Is this not something to look at?

Nonphysical Forces Are Helping You

Cosmic Threshold

You are never alone and you never have been.
In your life you’re not being challenged or tested
But supported and inspired. Make that adjustment
In your thinking and the universe will present
You with blessings. Your true self is interested
In your finding fulfillment again and again.

Realize what kind of an emotional grid
There is for you then do your work which is to tune
In with it by deliberately reaching for
Thoughts that feel good. The ones that don’t you must ignore.
Your purpose in life is to be over the moon.
There’s nothing you can do that heaven would forbid.

You ride high as the result of being focused
In your time space reality in such a way
That your vibrational pattern is energized.
All that you have been asking for is recognized
By invisible forces. Do believe that they
Can assist you. It’s only a matter of trust.

Those forces include anyone you’ve cared about
Or has cared about you. It includes grandparents
And their parents. Their spirits are all part of the
Vast collective who want to help humanity.
Listen to them. What they have to say makes much sense.
What they know is of value. There can be no doubt.

Attract A Life Partner

Together

If you continue to practice the vibration
Of, “That’s not it… That’s not it…” then it’s difficult
For what is it to enter your experience.
It can’t get through the smokescreen of your thinking hence
Your success isn’t likely to be the result
Because you’re in too needy a situation.

You don’t need the condition – the person who you
Want to shower your love upon. Think more about
The companionship rather than the companion.
Don’t demand from the universe that special one.
It knows well what you want. You’re the one who has doubt.
Think about what the power of your love can do.

Think of the un-condition – the way that you feel
About love. The emotion is all that you need
To put you in a place of extreme contentment.
Under that un-condition nothing can prevent
Your dream from manifesting and it may exceed
What you think would be perfect. Your love is for real.

Your partner is real also. The universe knows
Where you both are and how to bring you together.
Feel the love of belonging and it won’t be long
Before you will find someone who’s singing your song.
Keep your heart happy and as light as a feather.
That is when all kinds of loving energy flows.

Freedom, Growth, And Joy

Street Happy

Into this life experience each of us comes
With a triad of intentions. They are freedom,
Growth, and joy, and they are intended equally.
To reach for satisfaction you’re perfectly free
And in doing so all kinds of blessings will come
Showering down upon you in infinite sums.

Expansion or growth happens as you’re reaching for
Satisfaction. The contrast of life causes you
To ask for something better. That is expansion.
You can grow while you’re having a whole lot of fun
In fact joy is required to get the other two
Activated. Your energy tends to be more.

Satisfied with the potential of things getting
Better, you energize your point of attraction.
That’s enough for you. Just feeling good is okay
Because you know that good things are coming your way.
It all happens because of your satisfaction.
You are free to feel your best in any setting.

Why do you think you want whatever it may be?
It’s because you think you will feel better but you
Can feel better in the present. You’ve already
What you want though it exists vibrationally.
Tapping into you true self is all you need do.
You intended to live your life here happily.

Your Only Work

Daily Pleasure

Your desires are already in place. Are they not?
And you did put them all there arbitrarily
And with explicit detail. How well things work out
When of your vibrational escrow you’ve no doubt.
Culmination of your desires happens to be
What it holds. Do believe that there’s an awful lot.

The good job, the relationship, the piece of mind
And wellbeing that you want are all on their way
Into your life experience. Your work is now
To relax. Put yourself in the state to allow
Things to manifest for you. You know how to stay
In alignment. The good feeling thoughts you can find.

Your job is to get within the vicinity
Of your wanting. Do Not focus upon its lack.
Everything that you’re wanting is ready for you.
The more appreciating and loving you do
Then a whole lot more of the same you will get back.
You have done most of your work. Now just let it be.

Laugh more, play more, cruise more, bask more, and meditate
More. Do the things that soothe you into alignment.
Treat yourself as you would treat your very best friend.
The only thing of importance is that you tend
To your point of attraction. Your time is well spent
Having fun. Do it right now. You don’t have to wait.

May Your Journey Be Blessed

Joyful Path

Surrender the beliefs that do not allow you
To evolve into the person you want to be.
Surrender the resistance to your worthiness
And the things in your life that are causing you stress.
You are meant to be here expanding happily.
May there be success in everything that you do.

Surrender what is keeping your burning desire
From becoming a part of your reality.
Life has caused you to ask. Your desire is valid
Which means you are the only one who can forbid
Its fulfillment. Surrender and get yourself free
Of the struggle. No effort does your peace require.

Allowing is another word to use instead
Of surrendering. It does not involve torture.
You’re allowing receptiveness to clarity
And wellbeing. Through your truth you easily see
That your journey through life will be safe and secure.
Thank yourself for allowing the good times ahead.

The first manifestation is an emotion
In the creative process. If it feels okay
Then prolong it but if not then focus elsewhere.
Thoughts become things so of your thoughts you must take care.
Be aware of what uplifts you throughout your day.
To your spiritual growth give much devotion.

Keep Your Heart Open In Hell

Face In Hades

How can one fall in love with the wholeness of all
That exists when there’s much suffering happening
On the earth? I know that love has no boundaries
But I can’t see the way the enlightened one sees.
Human nature I cannot find interesting
And my faith in our evolution is quite small.

So the frog swimming happily in the clear pond
I can deal with but with the grass snake I cannot
And it goes a bit further. I can’t find beauty
In something that contains ugliness. I can’t be
In that high state of consciousness. All that I’ve got
Is my mind and five senses with which to respond.

All forms are related to all other forms in
Ways that are lawful. If I can appreciate
This, I’ve entered a threshold of understanding
That can result in my consciousness expanding.
While in hell one can stay in a positive state.
Meditation perhaps is the place to begin.

If I stand only in my humanity I
Cannot bear it, but If from perfection I stand
It’s impersonal. I can find true compassion
Between them. I can become an enlightened one
If I wish. I’m empowered by my own command.
Suffering does exist. I cannot ponder why.

What Is The Heart Chakra?

Emotional Center

What’s the heart chakra? It’s an energy center
Of the body. It’s one of seven. It’s the one
That extends past the body. With daily practice
One can use the energy to reach states of bliss.
To connect with this consciousness what must be done?
Is there some sacred space that one needs to enter?

Put your hands together as if you are praying.
Press them against your heart center and think about
Love and kindness. Think of positive energy
Expanding through your chest. Fairly soon there will be
A sensation of warmth felt but do not freak out.
Pay attention to what the feeling is saying.

The more you practice the stronger this energy
Will become until the feeling covers not just
The area of your heart but throughout the whole
Of your being. It reaches the heart of your soul.
If you want to become effective you must trust
In the process and stick with it wholeheartedly.

The entire field of consciousness you’ve access to
As you work the heart center. It is a portal
That has the power to collapse reality
Back into the waveform energy state. To be
Connected to that can make one feel immortal.
This practice can work wonders for the world and you.

Clean Up All Relationships

Reaching For Love

You’re the mirror to what you have been offering.
Perfectly you reflect all that happens to you
So take responsibility for what occurs
In your life. You get more of what your heart prefers
As you take on a more positive point of view.
How you’re feeling is what your vibration will bring.

No matter what the relationship is it can
Evolve into something that is ultimately
Satisfying. The thoughts you continue to think
Tell the story and it may be well out of sync
With your dream of living with someone happily.
You do not have to come up with a perfect plan.

You don’t have to put up with things that are missing
In the relationship. If you do that you’re not
Allowing what you really want. Your awareness
Of what’s missing keeps active the tension and stress.
Positive declarations can help you a lot.
About good times past you could be reminiscing.

Find vibrational accordance with your ideal.
Distract yourself from the details. Focus instead
On what’s working. You don’t need the condition to
Feel the wonder of something exciting and new.
Do believe that there are always good times ahead
And as always pay attention to how you feel.

What The Masters Know

Threshold Of Eternity

What if noticing how you feel wasn’t something
That you wanted or strived for because you live in
A world that wants you to be tough and care much less
About your feelings? It’s not healthy to suppress
The emotions. It’s like committing mortal sin
To the spirit. Nothing good can this practice bring.

In every moment that you are encouraging
Negative momentum through your thoughts, the other
Side of the coin is gaining momentum also.
There is only one certain way for you to know
What your point of attraction is. That’s to confer
With the part of you that does all of the feeling.

“Nobody gets to just do what they want to do,”
Says society. We lack the motivation
To feel better just for the sake of doing so.
You know what is needed for your spirit to grow
And it has much to do with your having more fun.
Don’t look outside yourself for a positive clue.

Negative manifestations are a good thing
Because they bring more clarity. Don’t be upset
With yourself for not being where you want to be.
Where you are is where you are temporarily.
Be prepared for the good things that haven’t come yet.
Stay connected to whatever makes your heart sing.

When Spirit Is Speaking

Yellow Cosmic Mind

Spirit speaks clearly to you in various ways.
When you feel good or God you are fully aligned
With your spirit. Your state of health can be expressed
By how you’re feeling. In fact it’s the very best
Indicator of health. Your feelings are designed
To guide you therefore they should be given much praise.

Everything in nature is in spirit. It’s not
Spoiled by ego. Listen to the winds, the critters,
The clouds, the rains, and the oceans. Take it all in.
Because with everything in nature you are kin.
All God’s creatures are vibrational transmitters.
In terms of co-creation they teach us a lot.

Synchronistic events are of spirit also.
When you see the same number show up everywhere
Like the clock, the odometer, or the checkbook
Balance, it simply means that you should take a look
At what spirit is showing you and you should care
About everything that spirit wants you to know.

When folks line up with your thoughts mysteriously
As if your private inner meanderings were
The cause of it, Believe It! You made it come true.
Spirit brings you the people that can offer you
The best lessons – not always the ones you prefer
But they will help you to grow spiritually.
