Knee Jerk Reactions

Wouldn’t it be terrific if news reflected
Accurately what’s going on? Wouldn’t it be
Really nice if all the pleasant things taking place
In the world the news networks would put in the face
Of the public? Am I living in fantasy?
If so, then I should probably be elected.

I would like to believe that what I feel is true.
If there were much more good news compared to the bad
Then the bad news would be just a blip on the screen.
Only happy stories of living would bee seen.
Can I shoot such a rocket from my own launchpad?
Are there others who feel just the way that I do?

If every chance I get I practice wellbeing
Then if there’s something going on that triggers me
It’s not such a big factor in my overall
Sense of being. In fact, it’s such a very small
Percentage of the big picture. I finally
See the way that my inner being is seeing.

In this world no such thing as perfection exists.
There will always be contrast. Life will always be
On the verge of becoming what it will become.
The emotional triggers we can’t escape from,
But we can learn to live life with more clarity.
Then we’ll deal more appropriately with its twists.

A Productive Question

Jun19

Life is a never-ending state of becoming
Something more than we are now. Nothing stays the same.
Life is always in motion. Change is natural.
Transformation of everything is eternal.
From the previous cycle the present one came
Yet the questions of time need not be mind-numbing.

You don’t have to have a death experience to
Become one with the oneness of all that exists.
You can do it through yoga or meditation
Or by doing something that’s exciting and fun.
Let yourself be happy as your spirit insists.
Anything that’s uplifting will benefit you.

You have an active vibration going on here
In the present, and infinite intelligence
Is available to you. What would be the most
Meaningful question to ask? Can you get engrossed
In the asking? When your emotion is intense
You can then be assured that the answer is near.

How can you move in the direction of what you
Can become? What is your path of least resistance
To all that you want? It’s not about getting there
In an instant. It’s about becoming aware
In each moment, no matter what the circumstance,
Of your power in asking for yet something new.

Get Happy!

Jan30

So, sing alleluia, and then just Get Happy!
Many books have been written that say just as much,
Yet it’s not complicated nor too difficult
To get there. You’ll be delighted with the result.
You were meant to be one who is warm to the touch.
Be one who folks want to have in their energy.

Do whatever it takes to Get Happy. If you
Have to run away from home or go to the beach
Everyday, then do it. No action is required
Necessarily. Focus on what is desired
Which is happiness. It’s not too far of a reach
From where you are. There’s nothing that you need to do.

Make peace with where you are, then the gap you will close
Between you and your happiness. Your vibration
Emanates directly from how you think and feel.
The power of your happiness can often heal
The problems of the present. Your having more fun
Brings more of it. By now, this is how your life goes.

Find some reason to feel good. Be interested
In something. In you living be fully enthralled.
Be receptive to spiritual energy.
Where you’re going is the place you’re wanting to be.
Do remember that you are the one who is called
And is chosen. Happiness is looking ahead.

Cash Flow

Jan4

Filthy richness is cleanliness of attitude.
Opulent success stories of others can make
Me aware of my pathetic situation.
It is because of my righteous indignation
Against rich people that causes me such heartache.
Because I feel this way, does it mean that I’m screwed?

I would like a Mercedes or maybe a pair –
One to drive and the other for sleeping with me.
I am here to express my enthusiasm
For the treasures unto me that have not yet come.
Can I rid myself of resentment completely?
If I want to be wealthy, indeed I must care.

I am here to express the significance of
What is coming from where I stand. In other words,
There’s a shifting of energy and emotion.
I can be wealthy just as well as anyone,
So my negative self-talking is for the birds.
True richness is achieved on the basis of love.

It’s a foregone conclusion that I am worthy
And magnificent. I feel appreciation
For this place where I stand now. Each little success
Builds upon those before it. I am nothing less
Than a master of money which translates to fun
The center of my point of attraction is me.

Most Of Your Work Is Already Done

Dec29

What I needed was some way of being fulfilled,
Which I wasn’t. My dead-end job was killing me.
The anger and frustration was taking its toll
On my energy. I gave it my heart and soul.
For specific reasons, I could not be happy.
I believe that, in my work, I ought to be thrilled.

My vibration was not in that feeling good place
Where there is no confusion. The change that I sought
Couldn’t happen ‘til I worked on being okay
With where I was. Oddly, this is the only way
To attract something better. When given some thought,
I conclude that I’m worthy of provident grace.

I’d been on many interviews, and then one day
I was feeling lighthearted as if it mattered
Not at all. I had fun on that day’s interview.
By the end of a magnificent time, I knew
That I had it. I felt confident and flattered
In the process. I like it when things go my way.

Ninety nine percent of my work is already
Complete before I see the evidence of it.
I can come into vibrational alignment.
Feeling better is my only next assignment.
From the universal forces I benefit.
Everything is supposed to go just right with me.

That Was Then

Dec18

All my manifestations keep going somewhere
Other than where I want them to, which is with me.
I’ve had this conversation with myself before,
And my thinking about it does not give me more
Of an edge on fulfillment. I need to break free
Of the prison created by my lack of care.

That Was Then. This Is Now. I know how to relieve
Myself of the resistance. By my maintaining
My vibration, I can manifest easily.
I am fully in touch with who I’m meant to be.
I know now that there is no use in complaining.
I am responsible for all that I receive.

The path of least resistance is being carefree.
Practicing feeling good until I have allowed
Something to manifest is in itself worthwhile,
But my appreciation goes the extra mile.
To the mission of happiness I am avowed.
I know now what the past has provided for me.

Then, I didn’t know what I know now, and what I
Know now is different from the grief I once knew.
I can better feel the path of least resistance.
Within each moment there exists the perfect chance
To be blissful. To my own self I must be true.
All the laws of the universe here do apply.

Change Your Expectation

Nov16

Think about what you want more and much less about
The way things are right now. ‘What Is’ gets in the way
Of what could be. You can Change Your Expectation
Of what happens in your life through your vibration.
Your attention to ‘what is’ is what makes you stay
In the same old conundrum of worry and doubt.

Most contour and arrive at their expectation
Based upon what they are observing constantly.
Our observing of things is something that won’t change.
It is natural for us, though it could get strange.
‘What is’ is slow to change into how things can be
Because folks are stuck in a ‘what is’ fixation.

Scientists are ‘what is’ focused as they collect
And sort through tons of data. They substantiate
Their derived expectations, so ‘what is’ remains
Reinforced. Their attention upon it maintains
Its reality, which is what we all create.
Our reality is here for us to perfect.

Rather than regurgitating reality
You can think about where you would like things to go.
Notice ‘what is’ much less. Step back from the details
Of where you are. Detach from the ‘now’ that prevails,
And seek comfort in all that you have come to know
About changing what you deem to be change worthy.

Maintain Your Vibration

Nov14

I like rain. It’s refreshing. It keeps folks indoors
Far apart from my business. The whether forecast
Is a joke to be pitied. They promise rainfall,
Yet I wait all day long, and there’s nothing at all.
I’ll be glad when this disgust that I feel has passed.
It’s a fact that this sorry assed town rain ignores.

It becomes, then, a challenge. I come from a place
Of compacted resistance about everything.
I cannot let conditions control how I feel.
Whatever may be happening, I can appeal
To my conscious awareness. What I’m offering
By my mood can be powered by infinite grace.

To find the path of least resistance is to let
Life show me its wonderfulness and to practice
Feeling good, which is always a cool exercise.
Things do manifest often, and it’s no surprise
That I can help myself much by thinking like this.
Certainly it’s a most valuable asset.

Complaining will cause my vibration to erode
In an instant. I knew this a long time ago
Before I was talked out of it by others who
Had forgotten, but now I know just what to do
To maintain my vibration. Tonight it may snow.
If it doesn’t, I’m still in the receptive mode.

How To Win All The Time

Nov11

When you are on a winning streak, life is a breeze.
Letting go of resistance and expectation
Are the elements needed to get there from here.
Let nothing negative in nature interfere
With your focus. For you, it’s all about the run,
And the running is done with impeccable ease.

Your expectancy is of enormous power.
When you expect something, it happens. This is fact.
Know that you’ll have a positive experience,
And then have it! This would seem to make common sense,
But it doesn’t reflect the way most people act.
Upon you, universal good graces shower.

Remember a great experience you once had.
How you felt then is how you are feeling right now.
Parlay this positive experience into
Something more by recalling the good that you do
For the whole world in general. Then you allow
That feeling to become you, then you will be glad.

When you remember anything you activate
It’s vibration. In this way it is magnetized
So that other thoughts like it begin to occur
That will bring about feelings that you most prefer.
The potential for winning is now realized.
The secret to it happening is feeling great.

Eliminate Impurity

Sep12

Diamonds are forever. We all know that it’s true,
And we’re made of stardust. It’s a natural fact.
What are the signs that your mind is effectively
Engaging with your daily life? What you may see
Is a pattern in the way you think and react
To your world and its issues. The diamond is you.

In the rough you may be now, and that is okay.
Blemishes only mean that you’re also human.
Is the sky ever affected by the dark clouds?
A mindset that is rigid most surely enshrouds
The pure light of your truest self. Know that you can
Shine as brightly as you want and have things your way.

Even in a ditch the diamond still gets to shine.
Light enhances its beauty, and your constant care
Keeps its brilliance unfettered by what is not true
To yourself because dullness is not part of you.
You are worthy in your own right. Do No Compare
Yourself with others, then everything will be fine.

The truest part of you cannot be distorted.
Your self-centered ways can be removed consciously.
Your emotions and thoughts can cause you certain stress.
They can also bring you ultimate happiness.
You can be, if you want, completely blemish free.
By the universe you’re totally supported.

The Best Teacher

Aug29

Looking back on my school years, I personally
Had a rough time because I am mentally ill.
Way back then, diagnoses were nonexistent.
The odd way that I see things will often prevent
Understanding of social cues yet I can still
Function sufficiently well in society.

You’re expecting a nice story. I’ll give you one
Not about how my troubled life eats at my heart
But about how it’s possible to overcome
Feelings of inferiority that come from
Childhood trauma of which I have made a fine art.
Misery in my old age I now see as fun.

Normal folks have ‘best teachers’ – the ones who have made
A life long positive impression upon them.
Simple words spewed without thought will alienate
As will attitudes that radiate racial hate.
The best ones are happy to deal with your problem.
Above and beyond they work. They’re on a crusade.

Early on I was told that I wasn’t the same
As the others in my class in obvious ways
And one not as apparent. It turns out to be
A most powerfully creative part of me.
It’s not like I am giving my enemies praise.
The Best Teacher teaches how to live without shame.

That Was Then…

Jun8

Once my manifestations always seemed to go
Somewhere else and my life was an absolute mess
Of revenge and frustration. I know well by now
How to shift my mood consciously and to allow
Natural goodness to which I have full access.
Did I need pain and sorrow in order to grow?

Maintaining my vibration is certainly key
To my forward momentum. I cannot afford
The wasting of my life force on feeling depressed.
It’s my decision only if I am obsessed
With the negative aspects which should be ignored.
I must entertain only thoughts that will please me.

The work is finding the path of least resistance.
Practicing feeling good until I have allowed
Wonderful things to happen, it’s easy for me
To feel appreciation. I am completely
In relationship with life, and I am endowed
With a spirit that masters any circumstance.

I need not defend or justify to others
Who’ve decided that I don’t deserve happiness.
It erodes my vibration. That was in the past.
Day by day I am learning to live the contrast
Provided for my growing. I suffer much less
And I’m more willing to do what my heart prefers.

Alone

Jun3

Ever since my childhood I’ve been too much unlike
Other people. I’ve never perceived things the way
They are seen by most others. I do not complain.
For the first time in my life I know I’m insane
But there still is an enormous price I must pay
For the harm that I cause while my mind is on strike.

I cannot get excited about the same things
That would turn on most anyone else without fail.
I’m not sad for the same reasons that others are.
I’ve not felt the same happiness. It’s very far
From that felt by most others in oddest detail.
A victim I have been through my false beginnings.

Everything that I loved I loved all quite alone.
Back when I was a little one loved and cared for
I uncovered for better or worse mysteries
Of existence that nary another one sees.
I know that I am here to experience more
Than the average seeker. My strange life has shown.

From the natural places this earth shows to me
Come the questions and answers that are of essence
To the best of my knowing that all is okay.
This world I am a part of. The part that I play
May seem small but in essence it’s rather immense.
All that I must do now is be happy to be.

Leaving A Fear Based Reality

Mar25

The Collective Unconscious all people create.
It contains memories of which we’re not aware…
Also archetypes. It is a vast database
That has the history of the whole human race.
We all have access to it, and through it we share
Basic understandings that are without debate.

Archetypes are symbols we know instinctively.
‘The Mother’ is a perfect example of one.
Everyone, no matter how different they are,
Will respond in the same way (which isn’t bizarre)
To a mothering figure. There’s a connection
Among oneself and others most naturally.

Always cultures of domination are fear based.
Those who dominate believe they have no power
To create their reality. So they become
The despicable tyrants whose actions come from
A deep need to be noticed. The will to devour
Is of self-centered righteousness and is misplaced.

To deny that you’re in denial reinforces
Negative belief systems. Then you will project
Onto others what in yourself you truly hate.
Understand that we are not the victims of fate.
Knowledge of what is dealt with may serve to protect
One from the depletion of psychic resources.

Influenced By The Future You

Mar19

A version of your future self does now exist.
In your mind’s eye, imagine how that one would be
Doing things differently and take careful note.
This idea may seem to some rather remote
But if you are open to being completely
In alignment this exercise can’t be dismissed.

Watch this self of the future and imagine how
It would feel about everything you’re doing now.
Imagine if that self is doing the same things
In the same way it’s done them. This pondering brings
On a flood of insight if you will but allow
The connection to happen. Do make it your vow.

More aligned with your passion your future self is.
Try to mimic in every way how it behaves.
It would be more the way you would want it to be.
Watch the differences and you will clearly see
All that it is that you’re doing that only enslaves
And propels you into over analysis.

Mirroring the behaviors of the future you
Pulls you in the direction of how things could be.
Rather than your remembering ways of the past
Which will anchor you to your prevailing contrast,
Information and images come easily
To help you on your journey in all that you do.

Change Your Expectation

Mar1

On the verge of a wonderful thing happening,
Most people contour and arrive naturally
At a strong expectation based on what they see.
We take what we’re observing too literally
That we pay attention to it and completely
Miss the best of what could be and all it can bring.

Scientists gather data. We think we should too.
We collect heavy batches and sort through them all
Studying and comparing, so what we expect
Cannot be any different from the subject
That is right in our faces when seeing is small.
We do not have to prove things like scientists do.

You keep noticing things. They keep manifesting
Just the way you predicted them. It’s a good thing.
Pay more attention not to things as they are now.
Set your focus right past them, and this will allow
Wonderful expectations that make your heart sing.
Impulse and inspiration this one change can bring.

Expectation can only be changed when you merge
Together the platform from where you are right now
With something that you want that is way beyond it.
You can know that it is a benevolent split.
Never mind what is not here. It will be somehow
And it all comes about with a sufficient urge.

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.

Ignore The Contrast

Nov22

I’ve no multi-ring circus in my living room.
I gave up watching TV a long time ago.
Those big screens are but passageways to or from hell
Depending on the kind of stew in which I dwell.
I had doubted my sanity, but now I know
There are madmen among us who live to entomb.

It’s as if Cinderella is caught past midnight.
Natives have become restless in this troubled land.
I would love to feel safe anywhere that I go.
Every ill thought I have against people I owe
To the real fear that grips me. I can’t understand
The concept of pure evil and the ultra-right.

I had better cease giving this much energy.
That in itself is dangerous if it is more
Than I give to what pleases me without a doubt.
There are more worthy things that I could write about.
And in order to do that, I have to ignore
Everything in this madness as it seems to be.

Getting into that inner space where all is well
Is the only thing I control absolutely.
Difficult is my journey if I focus on
This sick world I’m a part of. I’d rather be drawn
To the peace overwhelming I find within me.
For right now, I would like to remain in my shell.
