Test The Universe!

Show yourself that there’s no end to your wellbeing.
You will never run out of the blessings that come
From the universe. Be sensitive to the way
That you feel. You know when you’re not feeling okay
And you know pretty much where those feelings come from.
Test The Universe! Know that it’s most agreeing.

The only way that you can eliminate doubt
Is by somehow experiencing clarity.
They can’t both exist inside you at the same time.
Your doubt may tell you that there’s a mountain to climb.
Ask the question, “Do you know what is best for me?”
Testing the universe is what it’s all about.

Some of what you want can show up right here and now.
Follow your impulse and watch how much of what you
Want is revealed to you within just a short while.
Co-creating you will be in elegant style.
Test The Universe! Prove to yourself that it’s true
That the only thing you have to do is allow.

You won’t know where you are until you focus and
See how it works out. There are only two ways to
Know whether you’re on your path. One is how you feel
And the other is what has for you become real
In your life. Don’t wait ‘til your path challenges you.
Teach yourself that you have power at your command.

What Is Consciousness?

Jul14

Existence, as is known, is one unbroken thing.
All That Is contains everything that can be known
And unknown. There is another version of it.
That knows not itself at all. It has not a bit
Of consciousness. The feeling of being alone
Is all that this region of existence can bring.

What exactly is consciousness? It’s awareness
Of oneself by knowing what is not of the same
Awareness that oneself is or has. Existence
Contains all that there is. It needs no self-defense.
Consciousness is awareness by another name
Whether or not it has the desire to express.

All That Is creates within itself otherness.
It’s aware of itself through all that it creates.
It’s a kind of reflective energy pattern.
Consciousness means that one is able to discern
Individual selfhood and how it relates
To the otherness. It’s an eternal process.

Everything reflects consciousness. It is the way
That all of creation can become self-aware.
Every creature is seeing through the eyes of God.
The mechanics of it all is nothing slipshod.
Infinite are the points of view one can compare
To oneself. All existence evolves as it may.

What Gets In Your Way

Jun4

If this reality can create within you
A desire then it does have the wherewithal to
Bring to you the full-fledged manifested version
Of your wish. All you have to do is have more fun
While you’re getting to that somewhere dearest to you.
All the power you have is in your point of view.

Desire and strong belief are both necessary
And an absolute knowing that it will occur
But what gets in the way is too much awareness
Of the place where you are. You should look at that less
And keep your focus on the things that you prefer.
In this way you can keep yourself centered and free.

That’s the rub about living. Your destination
Is a near perfect vision compared to the place
Where you are now while knowing it will get you to
The place that you are going. What you need to do
Is suspend you attention. The more you embrace
Something that is unwanted no peace has begun.

Find the heart of what you want and why you want it.
You must make it a mood building experience.
When you feel the emotion rather than the thought
It is less than likely that you’ll get yourself caught
In the negative whirlpools of psychic suspense.
For the better your world will change as you permit.

The Dance With Disaster

Jul18

Can the hell I’ve created be worse than the one
In the service of Satan? Is my world the same
As the one that I’m meant for, if it does exist?
If indeed I am not there, am I sorely missed?
My unnatural acting has caused me much shame.
Terrified of the tango, I feel it’s begun.

My true self is the partner who wears a disguise
To prevent me from knowing from where lessons come.
Knowing whence they came leads to the easy way out
Of experience needed. While flailing about
On the dance floor of life, I know not where I’m from,
Which, to my knowing partner, is not a surprise.

This is all about feeling the best that I can
Through the world of confusion and eminent doom.
Interaction consensual cannot dissolve.
The exchange of emotion can only evolve
To a worthy performance inside the ballroom.
Guidance comes through my partner. I don’t have to plan.

Chronic is such a topic as personal pain,
But I feel it’s my duty to get it all down
Where the whole world can see it and be entertained
Or enlightened. My purpose will have been attained
In the long run. I can’t dance while wearing a frown.
If I get myself through this, there’s so much to gain.

Know Thyself

Jul11

Since childhood I’ve been learning and relearning things
That others get the first time and with greater ease.
I don’t find it a problem until I’m perceived
And am judged for the way I am. Then I am peeved.
But I’ve been a fine bastard with my psychoses
And this self-observation – my ego it stings.

It’s and ongoing process. Self-discovery
Grows from learning of this world and all of its ways.
But the self that is studied is of the body
And the thing that we know as personality
Yet the more subtle essence for most of us stays
In the depths of the psyche concealed completely.

I would study myself, but just what does that mean?
I must ask myself questions that puzzle me so.
Is myself the perceiver? Or am I that who
Perceives he who’s perceiving? If I follow through
With this interrogation, what truth could I know?
…Consciousness is recursive and clearly obscene?

The mind is a fifth limb. It will grasp and hold on
To the things it perceives. I know that it’s a tool.
It itself is perceived by that which is unnamed.
The true self is a mirror wherein all is framed
In its pureness of being. I’ll take that as cool.
It’s the source of all selfhood from which life is drawn.
