Mindfulness Thoughts

Aug8

All That Is

Mind is the forerunner of all things. Out of mind
Are created the many things that we believe
Are important. All human made things start as thoughts.
Often times though the mind may get tied up in knots
As you live your life. What you most want to achieve
Is a balance where with your nature you’re aligned.

When you sit quietly and pay close attention
To your breathing, a river of thought enters in.
The mind secretes thoughts the way the salivary
Glands secret saliva, but don’t let them carry
Any weight. Just keep breathing and you will begin
To lose thought and enter another dimension.

If you could hear the thoughts of someone next to you,
You would get away quickly. You’d think they were ill
In the psyche, but everyone’s experience
Is the same. Mental chatter gets really intense
Normally. It’s like a puppy that can’t sit still.
Yet you seldom think of anything that is new.

It’s like you’re stuck in a motel room late at night.
You can’t sleep so the TV becomes a plaything
But you can’t change the channel. So old thoughts remain
In you mind. It may feel like you’re going insane.
Mindfulness though is capable of offering
Lasting peace and a heck of a lot more insight.

The World That Is

May31

Times Of Change Are Eternal

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.

It Starts Now

Dec17

There Is No Past Or Future

No past ever existed except in the mind.
When the universe was created, it was now.
It still is now and will be forever, you see.
Like the wake of a ship, now trails off completely.
But the ship is the one place where I can allow
Now to guide my existence. Without it I’m blind.

The wake can be used to explain things in detail
Before it becomes nothingness. Such is the past.
It resides in odd places – not reality.
All the answers to questions I’m finding to be
In the ultimate present that I can make last
Quite as long as I want. Let the moment prevail.

Needed transformation of human consciousness
When done through meditation can get frustrated
By untidy spiritual one upmanship.
I may not need a teacher. I’m on my own trip.
My awakening moment is long awaited.
All I need do is trust in the simple process.

I can always look over my shoulder and say
That my issues result from some past condition.
I can’t blame anyone or thing outside of me.
What I can do is decide who I am to be
And remember that in this life all that is done
Occurs right in this moment, all day, every day.
