A Powerful Healing Prayer

Oct1

Prayer At Dusk

A Powerful Healing Prayer is needed when
There’s a moral dilemma. To pray constantly
Is to continue asking. Yet doesn’t God hear
Everyone’s voice? Is this question anywhere near
Being answerable? It’s out of urgency
That we just keep on asking again and again.

What’s there to pray about? That’s made perfectly clear
By the pain felt by portions of society.
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that
You’ve received it.” There isn’t a special format
One need follow but one must focus intently
On the healing instead of on how things appear.

We recognize the need for God’s intervention
In the course of humanity and of its home –
Mother Earth. We believe that the time has now come
For our enlightenment and deliverance from
Our own selves. We seem to be an errant genome
On the planet. About us something should be done.

If we’ve failed to be righteous we know that by now
And we ask your forgiveness. We know that you see
Only our perfection. May your vision become
Ours as well. We know well where all goodness comes from.
We accept your idea of how things should be.
May your eternal blessing be ours to allow.

The Ego

Jul17

The Ego is nothing other than the focus
Of one’s conscious attention. It’s like a radar
On a ship. It behaves like a troubleshooter.
If there’s anything ‘out there’ changes will occur
In the ego’s behavioral patterns which are
A completely and woefully weak part of us.

Don’t identify with your radar because you
Will be in a state of constant anxiety.
You’re the whole organism. When you realize
That you are then the ego is not a disguise
But an asset of value in this raging sea.
Each radar is designed to give its point of view.

The body is a miracle of harmony.
Systems function together to keep life afloat.
Yet corpuscles have creatures at battle always.
This must happen. It is how the whole body stays
In balance. The war supports the health of the boat.
A magnificent work is the human body.

What is discord at one level of your being
At a much higher level is perfect order.
Energy is behind physical existence.
Between them there’s a dance of powerful suspense
Your ego is no more than a tape recorder.
Don’t let it put untruth into what you’re seeing.

The Ego

The Personal Clutter Magnet

The ego is nothing other than the focus
Of attention. It’s like a radar on a ship.
It’s a troubleshooter telling what’s in the way.
Don’t identify with it. You’ll welcome dismay,
In that if you indulge it, you may lose your grip,
Thinking that you are better than the rest of us.

Once we cease our identity with the ego,
We become aware of the whole organism.
The corpuscles and creatures constantly at war
Means that we are quite healthy. The process means more
At the much higher level. There is no schism.
Harmony is the master who directs the show.

Zooming Out is a spiritual exercise.
Not only is it wholesome and therapeutic,
It also yields a view that is truthfully clear
All the discord that haunts and that seems so austere
Is as it simply must be. Ego is slapstick
In its clumsy performance in confident guise.

It’s a hard thing to say that this world is ok
When one looks at the chaos amid the control
Of the forces of egos upon so many.
In the long run of time, can we muster any
Sense of heartfelt connection with our deeper soul?
Thoroughly it must be searched for a better way.
