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.

Find The Meaning Of Life

Life Scape

In your life what have you always wanted to do?
Are you doing it now? Or are you on the way
To fulfilling your purpose? There’s nothing to fear
But fear itself. The path before you is made clear
In your heart and you cannot afford to betray
That which generates passion from deep within you.

You cannot live your life in your mind. You must go
Out and seek your life’s destiny. Fear of the past
Or the future is useless. The present is where
You should focus. It’s important for you to care
About now and it helps if you remain steadfast
In your quest. There is nothing else you need to know.

And it’s not trial and error. It’s simply getting
Off your ass to do something indeed anything
That moves you in the proper direction. It will
Help you more than if you decided to sit still
In your comfort zone. On it you don’t want to cling
Lest the loss of what you want you’d be regretting.

Often times people will start fulfilling their dreams
But when they near the end the journey becomes more
Difficult and they stop seeing the light at the
End of the tunnel as a sign of hope. They see
A milestone hard to overcome. What you ask for
You receive. It’s not just the way everything seems.

Being In Nature

Getting Close To The Earth

“Seek out a quiet place in the forest,” said he
Who was called the Buddha thousands of years ago.
He practiced meditation, and that’s what he taught.
He was available to anyone who sought
Spiritual enlightenment. He was also
Big on nature. He loved it most passionately.

In nature, there is ‘stillness’ that’s different from
That which is artificial and caused by the lack
Of the clamor incessant. This kind one can hear.
When you listen to nature with an acute ear,
The stillness is apparent. You peek through a crack
In eternity. Magnificent insights come.

Nature teaches connection. It has much to do
With the way we develop spiritually.
Nature relaxes as well as energizes.
When alone or with others it crystalizes
Consciousness into oneness. It’s easy to be
Just oneself without pretense. God bless the guru!

Refrain as much as possible from thinking while
You’re in nature. Just be the awareness behind
Your acute sense perceptions. Be fully at one
With all that you experience. You have begun
To connect to the heart and detach from the mind.
Nothing in the woods can put a cramp in your style.
