Under The Influence

So I woke up this morning and said, “What a day!”
I was filled with excitement about what’s to come
As I hang around people who think much like me.
What’s my goal? I’ve not figured that out exactly
But I do know that I want absolute freedom
To allow everything to turn out just my way.

There are things I’ve been wanting for quite a while now.
Some of them have already been manifested
And I’m satisfied that the rest are on their way.
In alignment for long periods I can stay
And I usually get what I’ve requested
From the universe. I’ve trained myself to allow.

Everyone is Under The Influence of one
Kind of thing or another in any moment.
If I’m under, “I want it but it costs too much”
Then my point of attraction is way out of touch
With what I want. There’s no way I can circumvent
The duality of my current vibration.

I must change it to, “I want it and it will come.”
When I’m Under The Influence of my desire
Then by law it is certain to happen for me.
I know that I create my own reality.
Blessings come when a good vibration I acquire.
I do well as I’m constantly beating this drum.

Remain Stable

Jan26

There’s always something coming to you. The questions,
Because you can’t turn off your point of attraction,
Are, “From where is it coming?” and, “What influence
Am I under as it’s coming?” Does it make sense
To search hard for the answers with but a fraction
Of a clue and oblivious to suggestions?

People rise or lower to the expectations
Of others. Learn to not to let people train you
Through their behavior or through their disappointment
In their own life experiences. Discontent
In others will eventually make you blue.
Get yourself out of unhealthy situations.

Their best selves are what you want to tune yourself to –
Not their egos who always want to criticize
But you must first find harmony from deep within
Your own heart. Blessings come to you when you begin
Treating others – even the ones who you despise –
With compassion and love. It’s the right thing to do.

If you fear going to some places because you
Feel uneasy when you’re there then you haven’t tuned
Yourself properly. Don’t let the environment
Determine how you feel. You’re one hundred percent
In control of your feelings. You can heal the wound
Of perceived consternation and come out anew.

Influence Versus Assertion

Jul15

It’s been said that you can catch more flies with honey
Than with vinegar. Does this imply that the flies
Favor honey? I know what is meant by the claim,
But it’s cumbersome. People come up with some lame
Little tidbits to help us to become more wise.
Can one wonder what vinegar does for the bee?

What this saying means is that there’s no assertion
In a universe based on attraction, therefore
You can influence someone but you cannot be
The creator of another’s reality.
By your visualizing you can achieve more
In the way you communicate with everyone.

Find your power. You don’t know what it is until
You find your alignment with who you really are.
Your power of influence cannot be denied
When with your inner being you’re truly allied.
When you witness your power you’re not very far
From being able to share with others goodwill.

Are you feeling your power? Can you recognize
That a general daydream about someone who
You find difficult can change things for the better?
Your influence can be an awesome pacesetter
For the people in the vicinity of you.
On this power you can fully capitalize.

Reflection And Momentum

Jul14

Like a mirror reflects everything, daydreaming
Shows you what you most cherish. It has momentum
And enormous potential for becoming real.
You continue doing it as it makes you feel
Powerful. It’s where your creative flair comes from.
It’s the answer to what can be unbeseeming.

The vibrational stance from which people reflect
Is important. If you’re under the influence
Of your true self, then daydreaming is a good thing,
But if not, only hellish nightmares it will bring.
Either way the experience is quite intense.
What you place your attention on you can expect.

The mind can be of value but not always so.
When you’re under the influence of something bad
Like a long past injustice, your thinking will be
Not of dreams but of bitterness and misery.
But your Source can turn out to be your best comrade.
It can help you to get only good thoughts to flow.

Reflection is about momentum. Momentum
Is about focus. What you reflect on has to
Do with your vibrational stance. What’s becoming
Your reality can be a wonderful thing.
More and more as you access the best part of you
You prepare for the magnificent times to come.

Expectation And Co-Creation

Jul5

Interactions with people in my life are such
That they have expectations of my behavior.
The reverse is true also. This co-creation
Isn’t always a good thing. Some harm may be done
To one’s feelings of worthiness. I can’t be sure
If my placating people matters all that much.

So, I’m trained into acting the way that I do
By the people around me. I can’t hope to change
That momentum of habit, but I can don the
Perspective of my inner being who can see
My path of least resistance. I do find it strange
How the mind works. Everyday I learn something new.

I can get into that place of neutrality
By some method like meditation. Then I can
Tune to the expectation of God almighty
Who sees all things about my life differently
Than I ever could. So it’s my ultimate plan
To become the evolved one who I’m meant to be.

If I don’t have a good encounter with someone
Then I’ve not tuned myself to my inner being
Beforehand. I give no one the credit for my
Misalignment. I don’t have to ask myself why
I behaved in a certain way, and it’s freeing
To the spirit to celebrate the work I’ve done.

Can I Trust My Feelings?

Jun22

That I have an emotional guidance system
Is apparent, but how do I know that I can
Trust my feelings? Indeed they may be under the
Influence of hypnosis, voodoo, sorcery,
Or illness. It could be something much bigger than
My awareness. It could be something I’d condemn.

Trial and error leads to a keener awareness
But it takes longer and there’s unnecessary
Resistance to contend with. When I meditate
I feel much better able to cooperate
With spiritual forces that influence me.
To the world it’s my best self I want to express.

Streams of pleasant thoughts and guidance come on the heels
Of having quieted the mind. When I follow
That guidance there is always a payoff for me.
As I rid myself of resistance completely
Many blessings of the universe start to flow
Into my life. I can get used to how that feels.

If I’m not under the influence of my Source
Then what I do feels difficult. Passion I feel
When I’m lined up with my Source. I notice when I
Am aligned or not. I need not ask myself why
What I’m doing feels healthy or like an ordeal.
I am guided by a most benevolent force.

Daydreaming And Nightmaring

Jun2

The sky is either falling or it’s held in place
By the forces of nature. Logic must dictate
That things are as they should be. Things may seem to be
So messed up about our lives that we cannot see
The big picture. The life we intend to create
Is the dream that we surely would want to embrace.

We are creative beings. What we’re born to do
Is to focus. That impulse will still reign supreme
Even though we may not have gotten out ahead
Of our focusing. All of the time we are fed
Impulses as suggestions to support the dream
We’re creating and to affirm its coming true.

To get out ahead of it, choose your vibration
Before focusing. You are never standing still.
Things are always moving. So what influence are
You under? Is it something that’s extremely far
From your true inner guidance? Do not wait until
You are in the midst of utter desperation.

When your thoughts start going south, that’s called a nightmare.
When you’re under the influence of negative
Emotion, it snowballs, but if you take the time
To choose thoughts that to you are supremely sublime,
Then a wonderfully fulfilling life you’ll live.
About how you are feeling you truly must care.

Enjoying Life’s Contrast

Mar7

As my day unfolds, I’m going to do my best
To find my path of least resistance, and it will
Be a fine day. I look forward to the contrast
That life offers. I’ve stopped looking into the past
For fulfillment. This present moment is a thrill
To behold. In it, eternity is expressed.

I can tell by the way I feel what influence
I’m under. I’m either under that of my Source,
Or that of something other, like society,
Or my mother, or anyone who wants to be
In control of me somehow. And this is, of course,
Something I allow, but at enormous expense.

There are times when I’m not in a very good place.
They are plenty in number. I’ll just stop and say,
“Well, that’s perfectly logical,” then leave it there.
Above all, it’s about how I feel that I care.
I’ll pivot from that thought and get on with my day.
It’s my own inner being who I must embrace.

I get over things quickly. I don’t explain how
I got into a bad place. That only will make
Things a lot worse. I can’t get the answer until
I stop asking the question. I know that it will
Manifest as an impulse which I will then take
As a sure sign that I have learned how to allow.

Stop Trying To Change Others

Mar3

In this world there are only two groups. There are those
Who are, in this moment, under the influence
Of who they truly are. There are also those who
Are fueled by something else which has nothing to do
With their natural goodness. There’s the existence
Of extreme maladjustment that harms as it shows.

There are groups calibrated to Source Energy
At any given moment. The ones that are not
Can’t be changed in terms of their feelings and ideals.
Antisocial action by such people reveals
That their sense of themselves is tied into a knot.
They know that they’re not being who they meant to be.

Uniqueness is a blessing, and diversity
And expansion is natural to existence.
If you spend your time trying to figure out why
People are the way they are, you’re destined to die
With your life unfulfilled. It is with great expense
That you consider hatred as reality.

It’s just too much to sort out. The way people feel,
Think, and see things should not be of any concern
To your creative process. Be and let things be.
Happiness, when it’s chosen, will set yourself free.
There is not much about love that you need to learn.
Happy moments are those wherein you get to heal.

Stop Blaming Others

Feb17

Are you practicing the negative vibration
Of pointing out the faults and misdeeds of others
Instead of your core vibration of harmony?
Do you find it difficult to let others be
Who they are? Are you frustrated when it occurs?
Is it true that your patience is little to none?

When someone makes you happy because they’re aligned
With who they truly are, you become addicted
To their positive energy, yet when it’s gone
You may think that there’s no one else to depend on.
But in reality you are not restricted
In your happiness. Get a grip on your behind!

Don’t ask someone else to be responsible for
The way you feel. The obnoxious one can show you
What it feels like to be on the path of something
Much better. Concentrate only on the feeling
Of alignment. This is the best thing you can do
For yourself and the other. Do not declare war.

In the moment you pronounce all others to be
Undependable to the way you feel, you’ll feel
So much better. Maintain the power of control
Of your own feelings. This indeed will make you whole.
Nothing then happens to you but the most ideal
Of encounters with others. You have become free.

Non-Resistant Desire

Jan14

A brand-new Maserati would really go well
With my free style of living but is that my goal?
All that I really want is to be satisfied.
The path to it may be my having a new ride,
But I can’t say that having it would make me whole.
Still, the idea of having one rings my bell.

I must find other paths to the satisfaction
That I’m seeking before the car can come to be.
If I’m already satisfied, I’m in a state
Where the kind universe will gladly demonstrate
My positive alignment almost instantly.
I believe in the idea of having fun.

I don’t need the car really. I only want it
Because it enhances the good life I deserve.
Under the influence of my inner being,
Who is always superlatively agreeing,
I can easily handle when I’m thrown a curve.
Of the true self within me I’ve full benefit.

If I’m worried about something, then I’m under
The influence of doubt. I’m not in the right place
To receive the abundance that surely awaits
My alignment. I’m in the most blissful of states
As I open myself to universal grace.
That I’m having a great life is not a wonder.

Stability

Jan7

One cannot face reality as it plays out
On the deck of a great ship that has momentum
Through rough waters. It is by one’s expectation
That nothing on God’s green earth can ever be done.
What happens in the real world can make the heart numb.
How does on remain stable amid certain doubt?

There’s always something coming to you because you
Cannot ever turn off your point of attraction.
So, from where is it coming? From the consciousness
Of inspired desolation and incessant stress?
Or from your own vortex of pure satisfaction?
Contemplate that. You’ll be enlightened when you do.

Don’t let others train you through their disappointment
With their own life experiences. Folks will rise
Or lower by the expectations of others.
The conflicts we experience are the mothers
Of inventions that end up making us more wise.
Optional is the feeling of deep discontent.

Where do you get your training? How do you train those
With whom you interact? What influence are you
Under when you’re creating? Stable you remain
No matter what the circumstance. One can abstain
From the struggle and chaos. Take not what is true
As an absolute, then easily your life goes.

Keep Stable

Oct29

Would I rather ‘wake up’ and face reality
Or create it? A huge choice this is that I make.
There’s an obvious difference between the two.
There’s always something coming to me, and it’s due
To my point of attraction. It takes not a break.
Things I bring into my life perpetually.

From which pile is it coming? The ones that I know
Are from others who offer advice but who are
Sorely lacking in self-confidence, or they’re from
My vortex of creation. There has to be some
Way of knowing for certain exactly how far
On my path I must travel before I can grow.

We all have inner beings. Our ships have set sail.
We can remain stable under all conditions.
We are flexible. We can move and compensate
For rough seas. It’s a thing I must appreciate.
We learn to navigate through our dispositions.
If I choose a positive one, then I prevail.

Don’t let circumstances train your expectation.
Do I want to be in harmony with who I
Really am? Then stability I shall maintain.
In the long run, there’s much fulfillment I will gain.
I am the only person I must satisfy.
Then I can see magnificence in everyone.

Do What You Can’t

Aug29

The haters and doubters aboard the Titanic
Sipping champagne are headed for a collision
With the iceberg of destiny. We creators
Do what we can’t. We are energy translators.
We’re good at manifesting what we envision.
The old dogs must be willing to learn a new trick.

Do as you’re told. Play it safe. Wait your turn, and ask
For permission. Learn to compromise. Listen to
What the experts tell you. This advice is obscene.
It’s not conducive to proper psychic hygiene.
Don’t let others tell you what you can and can’t do.
You can redo the world if you’re up to the task.

The world of content creation is exploding
On platforms made available to one and all.
With some work and time folks have become millionaires.
There is substantial value in what each one shares,
And the role that advertisers play isn’t small.
Nothing about this adventure is foreboding.

All one needs is a phone, internet access, and
A good story or idea. Your confidence
In yourself is within you. Those who say you can’t
Are not in a position to where they would grant
Anything of value. Do without the expense
Of distractions that don’t allow you to expand.

Connect To Your Soul And Receive

Aug28

I write fairy tales, legends, myths, and short stories.
Poetry I take aim at. Am I any good
At anything that I produce? Is it from me
Or from somewhere outside me to a large degree?
Either way I feel that I’m doing as I should.
Ideas come upon me with relative ease.

Anapestic tetrameter fascinates me.
I can conquer the rhythm when I’m at my best.
What I write about sometimes comes straight from the heart.
When I do sit to write there’s never a false start.
The mass consciousness through me is often expressed
Yet it’s all just vibration most ultimately.

If a tree falls in the forest it makes no sound
If there is not an eardrum and brain to translate
What is only vibration into what makes sense
To the consciousness, and there is no difference
With regard to receiving. One who’s filled with hate
Cannot realize blessings though they’re all around.

Praise yourself not only when you have the answer.
The question or the problem is of great value.
What influence are you under when you create?
Is it from a place of love? Let it dominate
Your receptive perception in all that you do.
Your soul knows about only things you would prefer.

No One Needs Your Convincing

Aug18

Do you want to ‘heal’ someone who you think is ill?
Where to start with them is not to look for what’s wrong
Nor to try to convey to them your sacred ways.
You do not want to inadvertently abrase
Someone’s feelings. Your position cannot be strong
When your attitude precludes any social skill.

It matters not so much what the healer may say
It’s all in how you feel about what you’re saying
That addresses the issue for better or worse.
If you want to be helpful let the universe
Guide you through guiding someone who is displaying
Symptoms of misalignment and utter dismay.

It’s not your job to try to convince anyone
Of what you think they should know. At fault they are not.
We each have an inner being who lets us know,
When we are conscious of it, which way we should go.
In the long run this information helps a lot.
One helps best when there’s no collateral harm done.

When you’re turned on, your timing is especially
Good. You will catch people at just the right moment
To communicate with them. Your power to ‘heal’
Is in your belief that their sickness isn’t real.
When you know things are alright the ‘healing’ event
Is assured. It’s a spiritual guarantee.

Stable!

Aug9

Your reality is something you shouldn’t face.
Instead you should create it. The big difference
Is that, like fluffy mulch floating on the river,
Facing life means you do things you wouldn’t prefer.
But your creating it is only common sense.
Knowing where you are going, your dream you embrace.

There’s always something coming to you. You can’t turn
Off your point of attraction. Things that come to you
Come from one of two vibrations – where it comes from
And the state you are in. Do reflect on this some.
If you’re doing something that you know isn’t true
To your nature, this is a matter of concern.

You can say that you didn’t quite get out ahead
Of the issue. You let your established mindset
Form the realness of what you have been observing.
People will rise or lower to your expecting.
Train your expectation so that you’ll only get
What you really want. This cannot be enough said.

Have you been letting your environments tune you?
Do you drift and cluster with those who are the same
Only to discover that they’re quite different?
Pluck the sweetness from life. Don’t let small stuff prevent
You the freedom of choice. You have treasures to claim.
Create the environment that you know is true.

Feel The Freshness

Mar17

You are under the influence of strong desire
For nothing in particular. You’re just amazed
At how well life is treating you, and you want more
Of your spirit to reach out and boldly explore
New horizons. Your attitude is to be praised.
Nothing of anyone does your true heart require.

Feel The Freshness of living the life of your dreams
And of anticipating things turning out well.
You know that you deserve what life has to offer
That is loving and wholesome… all that you prefer.
In a world of excited contentment you dwell.
In the presence of others your radiance beams.

Others who are under the influence of need
Have a nervous demeanor. There is urgency
In the basic vibration that others can sense
And then put up a force field as their self-defense.
It’s not that folks aren’t loving. They just want to be
Left alone which is why beggars rarely succeed.

You may want something just because it represents
The basis of who you are. Your satisfaction
Is sustained in its absence, and how it will come
Is of no concern of yours. Keep beating the drum
In the way that matches your highest vibration.
Keep on looking forward to wonderful events.

What The Universe Asks

Dec9

I would like a nice boat… maybe even a yacht.
I enjoy being free and having lots of fun.
But is it satisfaction I mostly desire?
If it is, then the boat and all things will transpire.
Everything is available under the sun
But the feeling of needing defeats me a lot.

I can find other pathways to satisfaction
Before things become manifest. Then they enhance
The contentment I find in the things I control,
Like my mood and my attitude. My only goal
Is to feel satisfaction. My now circumstance
Is the bouncing off place where creation is done.

I’m under the influence of something always…
Either my inner being who knows everything
Or some confounding problem I’m worried about.
If I act out of need I will introduce doubt.
If desire is the driving force then it will bring
On a freshness of feeling that will my mood raise.

All the universe asks is that my desire be
Nonresistant – unfettered by feelings of need.
If I try to consider all of the details
Only miscalculation and error prevails.
In releasing the neediness spirit is freed
To attract and create most magnificently.
