Create Who You Are

Jan9

Living Art

You’ve an axis of power when you surrender
To the infinite interior of your soul.
“I don’t know” is your mantra. You don’t try to force
Anything. You’ve learned how to rely on your source
Of creative influence. That which makes you whole
Has become your own emotional scale tender.

The Brahman is unknown to those who know it and
Is known to those who know it not. Anytime you
Voluntarily give up control you access
The unlimited power of your consciousness.
You may be limited by the things you cling to
But how to let go of them you now understand.

Much energy can be wasted on self-defense
Or in trying to make things conform to your will.
You know now that it makes you not trust anyone.
You’re the dictator who knows not how to have fun.
Letting go requires no special rigorous skill.
Being efficient comes with too great an expense.

The true power within you allows you to be
The cooperative component in your own
Self creation. You’ve learned how to be satisfied
With yourself as you are and to take certain pride
In how much in the way of consciousness you’ve grown.
Happiness comes with living in humility.

The Most Frightening Thing About Death

Aug1

Fear Of The Ultimate Unknown

In answer to the question, “What’s your state of mind
As you’re contemplating the possibility
Of everything becoming nothing?” there’s nothing
To refer to but our beliefs. When pondering
What death will be like, some may struggle terribly.
To think about such a thing they are not inclined.

The ’what if-ness’ of death is what people go through.
Avalanches of questions that can’t be answered
Flood the physical systems, yet what’s the trouble?
We’re like foam on the water or like the bubble
Or the puff of smoke. We know death can’t be deferred
People can’t conquer it no matter what they do.

Why don’t we want to give up? Just what do we think
We will get by remaining here a while longer?
It is ever so easy. Let go, and dissolve!
It is necessary for all life to evolve.
We cannot tear away from the way that things were
Even though our lives were not always in the pink.

The most frightening thing about death is that there
Might be something beyond it. It’s a mystery.
Yet the world is full of threats from other people.
Knowing whether to be regretful or thankful
Is all part of the death focusing fantasy.
There is no existence with which we can compare.
