You Versus You

You may have this recurring nightmare that there’s some
Force that’s holding you down and you cannot break free
From this thing. It’s a nightmare. It’s holding you back
From what you want. You may feel a deep sense of lack
About life yet there isn’t a reason to be
Up in arms because no one is beating your drum.

There are two fundamental attitudes toward
Life and its sorrows. There are those who want to blame
The world and there are those who ask what they can do
Differently. They have a more positive view
Of the world. The solution is their only aim.
You can make life easy or you can make it hard.

That thing that’s holding you back is you. Be aware
Of the feeling of your lack and powerlessness.
It may feel much more satisfying for you to
Blame others for all the things happening to you.
There’s no one else in this world you need to impress
Besides yourself. Do give yourself the best of care.

It’s always been You Versus You. You’re competing
With what you’re capable of – not with somebody
Outside of you. Give yourself permission to own
Where you are here and now. Also let it be known
To the universe how you want your life to be.
Rid yourself of feelings that are self-defeating.

The Power Of Love

Jul31

When you’re in a bad mood you’re sort of in a bad
Mood about everything, and the reverse is true.
When you’re in a good mood everything is alright.
Things that irritate you or that make you uptight
Don’t phase you when you’re happy, and the more that you
Focus on being happy, the less you’ll feel sad.

Much more than most people realize, everything
Blends together. At the same time we love and hate.
The mix of emotions cancels each other out.
So focus is important. There can be no doubt
That a much better society we create
As we stop and take notice of what’s happening.

When you’re newly in love everything starts turning
Up roses because now you’re focused on something
That allows for your energy to start flowing.
Everything in your life will be easy going,
And complex circumstances begin improving.
You want to show the world how you can dance and sing.

Many people have gone from sick to being well.
People have gone from poor to rich all because of
Their having fallen in love. We need distraction
From our normal thoughts, then our points of attraction
Are enlivened because of The Power Of Love.
At the art of loving we’re destined to excel.

Ways Of Knowing

Jun14

You have an inner being. Its reality
Is vibrational. It is always working on
Your behalf, so relax and move in the direction
Of that inner self. It’s possible to be one
With the universe. To self-knowing you are drawn.
You’re at peace with your own spirituality.

Line up with who you really are. This is the goal
Of a lifetime. Nothing’s more exhilarating
Than to be on the brink of manifestation
Then to witness unfoldment of your creation.
Your inner being is always advocating
Your attaining whatever you feel makes you whole.

If you don’t tend to the vibrations that aren’t quite
On the leading edge of thought, then you’ll never get
To experience deliberate creation.
Everyone is creating but it’s mostly done
At an unconscious level, then with much regret
One adopts the false notion that things aren’t alright.

In terms of deliberate creation you know
How you’re doing by how you feel and by the way
Things unfold in your life. The Law of Attraction
And your internal guidance help to get things done.
Life is blissfully wonderful if you can stay
In the state of alignment instead of sorrow.

Breathing

Jun1

Do I know that I’m breathing? Sometimes I forget
That I’m doing so, then my body makes me yawn.
It’s a channeling. My inner being lets me
Know that I should slow down. Breathing happens to be
My wholistic addiction. I depend upon
All the breathing that’s not even happening yet.

The whole point of my breathing is to get into
Alignment with who I am. No special technique
Do I follow. I simply breathe in then breathe out.
Focus on respiration remains all about
Raising one’s vibration. Nothing else do I seek
Than a much better feeling and clear point of view.

The cork under water is being held there by
Some resistance. The cork’s natural tendency
Is to rise to the surface. If I can let go
Of what’s holding me under, I will get to know
Utter peace and contentment. I want to be free
Of resistance. My breathing no one can deny.

I breath all the time. There’s not a single moment
That I’m not breathing, and I’ve the ability
To focus on my breathing. My breath is my friend.
If I treat it that way it helps me to ascend
To the pinnacle of spirituality.
It requires not anyone else’s involvement.

The Outcome

Jul22

Circumstances are that someone has done you wrong.
The offense was egregious, and for many years
You have keep this inside you. It has caused you harm.
Ultimately it is better that you disarm
But it is difficult to just up and shift gears.
Your contempt for the oppressor is surely strong.

“Let it go,” people tell you, and it drives you nuts.
You’re tempted to tell them to go take a long hike.
But that’s not a solution. You have to admit
That your negative feelings render you unfit
For wholesome interaction with people you like.
Your style and demeanor are controlled by your guts.

Justice for the oppressor may not come to pass
In this lifetime so that karma must be postponed.
At this point, it is time to tear up the contract
That was made in eternity. But for the fact
That a sick crusty bastard is better disowned
There’s no point in trying to engage the crevasse.

The airport of contentment has no baggage claim.
Relief is absolute if you can let it go.
All that can be done can be done all mentally.
To release and forgive is the way to be free
Of the issue completely so that you can grow
In spirit. In the long run your peace is the aim.

About Death

Dec15

What we know about death we must learn from the dead.
Does that sound facetious? I would rather it not.
The dead know all about death, the living, therefore,
Must consult them subjectively to gather more
Of an accurate picture than what can be got
From the rubbish pumped into the oversized head.

Otherwise, it is scary to contemplate death.
The most frightening thing is that it isn’t known
What will happen thereafter indeed if there’s one.
Information from others can satisfy none
Of the deeper questions. We are fantasy prone
Regarding the conditions after the last breath.

The devoutly religious, guided by scripture,
Have a definite blueprint of how it will be.
So they’re not as afflicted. There’s not as much fear.
In the flesh, no one’s vision is perfectly clear.
As one does contemplate the possibility
Of all becoming nothing, there’s certain allure.

We recall facing this world as little children.
Threats were plenty, and safety was not guaranteed.
There were all kinds of monsters, but behind them all
Is one’s own dissolution. And every close call
Reminds all that in life there is always the need
To ponder where we came from every now and then.
