Old Ways Of Struggling

Old Work

Spending too much time sleeping I wonder what I
Am escaping. I don’t really know how I feel
About anything anymore. Weary I am
And upset to the point where I can’t give a damn
About life. My disgust with it I can’t conceal.
I have lots of resistance and I don’t care why.

I’d been keeping a list of all the amazing
Things that were happening then all of a sudden
I just lost it. I got caught up in other things.
Now I feel as if something is pulling my strings.
It would be nice to be feeling wholesome again.
There’s nothing about how I feel that’s worth praising.

When you begin to acknowledge that you can be,
Do, or have anything, you would like to believe
But hardly do. Your expectation is improved
By the manifestation. Energy has moved
Such that you’ve put yourself in the mode to receive.
Slipping back to old ways happens naturally.

You can do this. You’ve done it before. Realize
The potential within you and stop keeping score
Of your progress. Stop introducing resistance
To the mix. Be respective of your circumstance.
Surely there’s something about life you can adore.
Take your mind for a moment off things you despise.

The Depths Of Who You Are

The Naked Self

Every life form is an expression of the One
Timeless and formless One life. Beyond anything
That’s subject to destruction, it’s not opposite
Of what’s called life. It’s good to remember that it
Is the opposite of birth. Death is depressing
From the surface perspective where all life is done.

Births and deaths apply to the forms that appear on
The surface of reality. Its perspective
Is dreadful, but from knowing that all life is One,
One will find that one’s death is not something to shun.
Timelessness is the realm of the most subjective
Part of you. It’s the self that will never be gone.

The transcendent dimension you have access to.
There you will realize that you are much more than
You appear to be on the surface of it all.
The physical part of you is limited and small.
From the deathless dimension you know that you can
Know that part of you that is eternal and true.

All of life is a temporary expression
On the surface of being. With deep compassion
We behold all the madness perpetrated by
Those who don’t know who they are. We cannot deny
The harshness of reality. In everyone
Is the spark of divinity ever begun.
