Whose Thoughts Are These?

Troubling Question

Every thought that has ever been thought still exists.
Thoughts Are Things and each one has its own vibration.
So am I the thinker of my thoughts or do I
Just receive them? Do I catch them as they go by?
One would think that one’s thoughts are of one’s creation.
It’s the way in which the fragile ego insists.

We’re transmitting and receiving mechanisms.
Sometimes we are transmitting and sometimes we are
Receiving, yet we can do both at the same time.
It is possible to reach a truly sublime
State of being. We don’t have to search long and far
For enlightenment as human organisms.

When we’re acknowledging, noticing, comparing,
And discussing with others is when we transmit,
But receiving is best done when we’re in a state
Of receiving, where we can best appreciate
What comes to us. It’s of tremendous benefit
To be about what you’re receiving most caring.

We’re never the thinker of a great thought, instead
There’s a collective consciousness we all access.
Does the radio ask itself if it’s singing
All those songs that it’s playing? We end up bringing
How we feel to the forefront of our consciousness.
By the radio broadcast station we are led.

Everything That Happens Is A Lesson

Perplexed

How do I not feel bad when bad things do take place
Like disasters and hate crimes? Do I just ignore
My emotions completely? That doesn’t seem right.
I do not have an insatiable appetite
For adverse situations, yet I would be more
Of an android if tragedy I didn’t face.

When bad things happen out there, I can either get
A good lesson from it, or I could play the role
Of the innocent victim. The choice is my own.
There’s no dark quandary into which I am thrown.
If I ponder the lesson, I will be made whole.
If the victim I do play, I will know regret.

People may do things to me. It’s how I react
To what’s done that’s the difference between being
A fully functioning person or a victim.
The latter only leads to a future that’s dim.
I may kick myself in the butt for not seeing
The big picture and from it all I can extract.

If something that has happened has made me feel bad,
Then why did it wait until I knew about it?
The fact is that I make my own self feel this way.
Bad things happen. That’s life. It’s up to me to play
Life in a way that is to my full benefit.
I may find that my teacher is my best comrade.
