Don’t Worry

Many people let life come at them and they just
Respond to it so if it’s something wanted they
Are delighted but if it’s not wanted they feel
Indignation and sometimes it’s hard to conceal.
Nothing much can get done when you’re feeling this way.
That there is a way out of your mess you must trust.

You have no control over your experience
At the moment but you’re supposed to have control
All the time. You create your own reality.
There’s no reason to wallow in your misery.
You must first take the time to again become whole.
Do not act when you feel that your life makes no sense.

You have an inner being who’s fully aware
Of your situation but has a perspective
That’s much different from yours. You can get to see
Your inner being’s version of how things should be.
It knows everything it takes so that you can live
An ecstatic life – one that is beyond compare.

What you want in this moment is some clarity
And relief from self-torment. You get to decide
To receive it right now or to stay in dismay.
In the long run things do always turn out your way.
In this moment find something to be satisfied
Much about and stay focused on it intently.

Don’t Put People In Boxes

Dec23

Boxes are an invention of society
And because human nature is fatally prone
To the drawing of lines and the taking of sides
In an instant the ignorant ego decides
Who someone is when nothing about them is known.
We put people into boxes too easily.

There’s us and there’s them. We can feel comfortable
With some people but with others we would prefer
To keep at a distance. There are those we can share
Something with but with others we don’t seem to care.
We must learn to not judge a book by its cover.
What’s to become of us if we’re just unable?

There are those of us with many chapters and those
Just starting our own stories. There’s the well to do
And those doing what they can do just to survive.
There are those with the goods and they want to deprive
Everyone else of theirs. There are those who are true
To their higher selves and through their actions it shows.

The continuing drama of human affairs
Is unending. The time that we take to sort out
Everyone on the planet can be better used
For reflection. The ego is always confused
About others and itself. It’s fettered in doubt.
Stay in touch with the spirit within you who cares.

I Get To Decide

Nov23

What I’m most thankful for is the freedom to be,
Do, or have anything, and I Get To Decide
How I feel in each moment which is important
To my point of attraction. Who says that I can’t
Find a way to keep myself always satisfied?
I’m thankful that this knowledge is now part of me.

There’s a much bigger picture. I’m fully aligned
With my purpose. Sometimes I have split energy
But I can quickly get back to being aware
Of my sense of wellbeing. I just have to care
More about feeling better than needing to be
Always right which makes people think that I’m unkind.

“If life is just a series of single events
Interacting with each other what’s it all mean?
What’s the point? Go ahead. Just tell me what to do.”
I once did have this rather parochial view
But by now quite a bit of wellbeing I’ve seen
And its absolute dominance makes perfect sense.

I’m here for the pleasure of life – for the pleasure
Of knowing the fullness of who I’ve come to be.
My inner being and I are two aspects of
The same thing. It tells me that I must learn to love
Everything about life unequivocally.
I’ve decided that life is an awesome treasure.

Don’t Worry

Nov15

“Why on earth should I worry? The earth that I know
May not even exist in a short time from now.
Do my crises reflect those of society?
If so then don’t I have every reason to be
Petrified? I’m a victim of myself somehow.
How can I be relieved of my incessant woe?”

Many people just let life come at them and they
Just respond to it so if it’s something wanted
They respond positively. The reverse also
Is significant. Tough situations can throw
One into negativity. It could be said
That to just respond to life leads to one’s dismay.

You’re supposed to have control. You’re the creator
Of your own life experience. The condition
Of the world is not something to worry about
And you’re not here to figure that kind of thing out.
Concentrate on whatever on earth can be done
To uplift you. You’re an energy translator.

Do your living deliberately. Take control
Of you moment by moment. The more that you care
About just feeling better the better you feel.
You can make of the real world one that is ideal
Simply by your being more consciously aware
Of the spirit within you which can make you whole.

Clear The Core Of Negative Beliefs

Oct11

Core beliefs are the voices inside of my head.
Each one is a thought that I continued to think
Until it gained enough momentum to become
Part of me. Some of them I can’t get away from.
From the cup of a negative brew I do drink
Knowing well that I’ve created a life of dread.

Thoughts are things that have consciousness given to them
By my focused attention. Habitually
I created them. They are my experience.
They exist to keep providing me evidence
To support my sick visions of society.
From my listening to them all my problems stem.

Just because something is true it doesn’t mean I
Should give it my attention. How does it feel when
I am thinking about it? This criterion
Is the one most important. Indeed I’m the one
Who’s in need of some relief every now and then.
If I don’t feel right I need not ask myself why.

My internal guidance system is how I feel
In each moment. It knows where I am no matter
Where I am. It also knows where I want to be.
I can get rid of negative thoughts easily
Just by noticing when they all start to chatter.
Then I can take on new thoughts that have more appeal.

The Manifestation Cycle

Jul10

I know that my life causes me to ask for more.
That’s a given. I can’t stop it from happening.
This physical environment elicits from
Me personal decisions. While beating my drum
Of uniqueness, I can manifest anything
I desire. It’s a wonderful world to explore.

After I’ve done my asking, unseen forces will
Gather all the cooperative components
Necessary. I don’t have to do anything
Further after I have done the work of asking
Except stay in a state of receptive suspense
Meaning that my work now is to kick back and chill.

When things start manifesting the thrill is immense.
Confidence in the power that I have to be
A creator increases. Trusting the process
Replaces any angst with a fresh eagerness
For the challenge of bringing what satisfies me
Into being. The process makes practical sense.

Once I’ve mastered this elegant trick I’ve become
More able to cope with life when it takes a turn
For the worse. When it happens I don’t get upset.
It’s just a moment in time that I’ll soon forget.
There’s nothing like the ability to discern
Satisfaction, which is where all blessings come from.

A Spiritual Solution

Mar10

There’s an omnipotent spiritual Force at
Our fingertips that contains the solution to
All our problems. Their vibrations are different
From that of their solutions. If I’m in torment,
Then there is one of two things I can choose to do.
Life is not any more complicated than that.

I find myself reacting to situations
Instead of responding in a calm and cool way.
When the world seems insane, I can take a step back,
But I don’t sometimes. That’s why I’m so out of whack.
I create my own crises. The price that I pay
In so doing is seeking unwise solutions.

To react from a place of fear or to respond
From a place of alignment… These are my choices.
It’s easy to trust life when things are going well,
But through times of uncertainty and certain hell,
Can I get to a place where my heart rejoices?
Yes, it’s possible. My mind is a magic wand.

I’m the conscious decision maker of how I
Feel in each and every moment. I can impact
This world in better ways, if spiritually,
I can see the bigger picture much more clearly.
With the Force that supports me, I keep close contact.
It can become for me a most helpful ally.
