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.

Spirituality

The Realm Of The Unseen

Spirituality is a cool waterfall
That refreshes the consciousness and the body.
One is one with oneself and the whole universe.
No one can deny that it is good to immerse
Oneself in sacred waters and be completely
Cleansed of bad energy which can affect us all.

Spirituality is the bright filament
Of the bulb of the body. Electricity
Is the current that flows in cycles unending
And gives movement and warmth to every living thing.
It’s the lock unto which only love is the key.
It is needed to live a life of contentment.

As the water, the bulb, and the lock represent
But the physical essence of what can be known,
The truth is that we are also the energy…
Every drop of the water, and the sacred key
Known as love. Knowing that you are never alone
Is of spirit. You are not here by accident.

You don’t have to improve yourself. You can accept
Who you are in this moment with all your failings.
Comparing yourself with others isn’t the way
Of the spiritual path. Don’t be led astray
By the essence of toxic social happenings.
Spirit has not a secret that must be well kept.
