How To Pray

Consumed In Prayer

You can pray from a place of extreme need or from
Thankfulness. Which way do you think gets more results?
For some, praying is like going to the toilet.
It’s become a mere function that’s used just to get
Satisfaction. But what if your praying insults
That which hears it? You can’t expect a good outcome.

When you pray out of indignation and despair
It sets up a vibration that makes the problem
More severe. You give it more of your attention.
In your praying you’re better off not to mention
Any issues because God knows all about them.
When you speak to divinity do so with care.

Santa Claus was a big thing when you were yet small.
Since then you’ve come to know that it all was a lie
But you still pray as if God comes down the chimney
Once a year with the answers you seek earnestly.
You may pray your behind off yet ask yourself why
God has not taken time to respond to your call.

When you pray from a place of appreciation
You put yourself in a better state to receive
Maybe not what you’re asking for this time around
But relief from your misery will have been found.
A state of alignment isn’t hard to achieve
As you find the object of your adoration.

It’s Coming

Patiently Waiting

While it seems like you’re waiting for something to come
You’re just living one good moment after the next
On the way to wonderful things coming to you.
You’ve asked for it. It’s done! Now all you have to do
Is get happy. There’s no reason to be perplexed.
Be certain of where all your good feelings come from.

When you ask, it is given almost instantly
But you have to become a vibrational match
To receiving it, meaning don’t do anything
That prevents what you want from ever happening.
From all your negative feelings you must detach
If what you’ve asked for is to be reality.

All the specifics of what you want happen when
You first ask. You know just how you want things to be.
As cooperative components assemble
You will see things in your life start to resemble
Your most treasured desire automatically
Negative moments you may still have now and then.

Once you have lived the problem you have created
The solution. It’s now time to go general
With your wanting and have fun along your journey.
The answer to all wanting is to get happy.
It’s best to adopt a happiness rationale.
To your happiness you must be dedicated.

Don’t Go After It – It Will Come

Bon Voyage

As I go through my days wonderful little things
Happen all the time. I’ll be walking in the woods
And I’ll have a thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice to see
Others like me who just want to live happily,”

And it happens. This must mean that I have the goods
On my point of attraction and all that it brings.

How thoughts turn into things is by conscious intent.
When a thought occurs to me where does it come from?
Does it come from my inner being or does it
Come from elsewhere? I know that I cannot permit
Any negative thinking to gain momentum.
I prefer not to live in abject self-torment.

That my path is unfolding right under my feet
I know so absolutely that I rendezvous
Only with people, places, and things that agree
Exactly with what I want. I’m happy to be
In alignment with that part of me which is true.
I march only to the co-creative drumbeat.

I don’t need to make things happen nor do I need
To assert myself through my determination
To grab hold of reality. I can believe
In my powerful ability to receive
Special insights and all kinds of information.
My path appears before me. I need but proceed.

What Should I Do Today?

Contemplative

First and foremost I cherish the freedom to be
Easygoing about my life. There’s nothing worse
Than entrapment by negative news of the day.
In my own personal world things are quite okay.
I believe that the power of the universe
I can access at any time and easily.

When I woke up this morning there was nothing to
Pull me out of alignment with the expanded
Part of me which is always on top of this world.
Its blanket of confusion cannot be unfurled
By my worthy attention and to be candid
Paltry little is there of the things I can do.

Do I know what’s in my Vortex of Creation?
I can answer that by asking myself how I
Feel in this moment. All that I’ve been putting there
Is immense and specific. I wouldn’t know where
To begin sorting through it all yet I can try
And in so doing be in appreciation.

This day is one where I receive inspiration
Before acting. My goal is to quiet the mind
Several times throughout the day. I can achieve
What I want. There’s no problem because I believe
In a world where most people are gentle and kind.
What I do today will be my own creation.

What Comes Next?

Happy Surprise

Your inner being knows everything about you.
It adores you. It knows what you’ve been asking for.
It knows the fullest state of your evolution.
To your every issue it knows the solution.
You must do what you can to keep open the door
To your inner self in everything that you do.

Imagine a wonderful world where more and more
All of our inner beings guide us in our ways
Of behavior with one another. It would be
An ideal world in absolute harmony
With wellbeing. One can only hope for those days
To transpire. The condition is worth striving for.

Satisfaction comes from one place – one place only.
When life causes you to expand and you go there
You feel uplifted. You’re meant to be satisfied
With your life and its journey. You get to decide
What comes to you which means you must take proper care
Of your point of attraction by getting happy.

What Comes Next is the next escapade on the way
To the next. It’s a never ending adventure.
You are supposed to get to move from here to there
With much ease by simply becoming more aware
Of how you feel. Your exuberance must endure.
In alignment with your inner self you must stay.

Don’t Think About It

Perplexed

The contrast that you’re living causes you to know
What you don’t want and therefore what satisfies you.
It really is that simple. How you think and feel
Determines what you get. Your life may be ideal
Or a total disaster. Whichever is true
You’ve complete control over how your life should go.

You send out a vibration whenever you feel
Strong desire. It’s an energy field that combines
With all energies like it. Cooperative
Components are assembled so that you may live
Out your dream. You must be receptive to the signs
Shown to you by the universe which are quite real.

Even though you don’t see it yet it’s on its way
Just as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow.
It’s not tangible. It exists as vibration.
You must be ready for its manifestation.
Unto you the good things of life are meant to flow.
In alignment with your higher self you must stay.

If you can’t accept the beginning of something
That you can’t see then you can’t tell if you’re holding
Yourself in vibrational alignment with it
As it grows and matures. It’s to your benefit
To stay positive as your dream is unfolding.
Be receptive to all that the world wants to bring.

Source Will Show You The Way

Water Way

You’re a powerful being. You’re worthy beyond
Conception or description and you’re wanting to
Be in this sweet spot of creation where you’ve mixed
It all up and by now you have your focus fixed
On your heart’s desire. Life’s contrast stirs within you
A wanting to which the universe will respond.

Source is God. It is that which we can’t comprehend
But we can reach a state where we experience
The divine in its essence. We’re all connected
To this God Source. It knows what’s to be expected
Of each one of us and it comes to our defense
When we’re unkind to ourselves. It’s like a good friend.

Get into the receiving mode. Let the contrast
Be the canvas you paint upon. Your masterpiece
Is created when you decide to get happy
And the Source within you agrees wholeheartedly.
There’s nothing better than feeling your joy increase
And then finding ways easily to make it last.

The path of Source is the path of least resistance.
Source knows how to get you to where you want to be
With the least effort and the most satisfaction.
Learn to trust fully in the Law of Attraction.
Let Source talk you into becoming totally
Who you’re meant to be under any circumstance.

From Ambition To Meaning

Acceptance

What happens when we move from the ambition stage
Of our lives into wisdom? The aging process
Isn’t well accepted by our society.
It has not a grasp on spirituality.
This materialistic world wants to suppress
Any sign of decline having to do with age.

Thoroughly unprepared we take this step into
The afternoon of our lives. Worse still, we take this
With the presupposition that our ideas
And our truths will serve us hitherto but because
This is false the most evident truth we dismiss.
We’re attached to whatever’s exciting and new.

But we can’t live the afternoon of our life by
The same program we used for the morning. What was
Plentiful in the morning by evening will be
Very little. We enter that stage hopefully
Knowing that it is governed by different laws
Than the one before it. There’s a good reason why.

What was true in the morning is in the evening
A falsehood. What was marked by ambition is now
Redirected to service. Life has more meaning.
It’s a time of reflection and one of weaning
Oneself from the ego. It’s the time to allow
What’s to come with no worries about anything.

The Holy Instant

Creation

How things came into being is not the question
To be asked by anyone. It has no answer
That can be understood. All that science can tell
With their theories is that some force had cast a spell
Then the universe happened. It is, as it were,
Not a topic conducive to one’s digestion.

This schoolhouse of creation had to come to be
Out of what is called nothingness. One can ask why
It exists in the first place. The answer to that
Is within your own consciousness. Take a look at
All the drama. The lessons one cannot deny.
Getting through them all can be done successfully.

All exists in an Instant in eternity
So you cannot determine the curriculum.
It’s been preset already. You cannot decide
On the teaching resources. To be satisfied
With the lessons is where the will to live comes from.
One accepts the Holy Instant ultimately.

The Atonement occurs in the purified mind
In the one Holy Instant. Realization
Of it happening keeps one in a constant state
Of becoming. The ego wants to complicate
The whole process. The subtle art of creation
Is mastered when with one’s spirit one is aligned.

Things Will Come Super Fast

Time Explosion

Can you imagine asking without resistance?
When you say, “I would like to know that but it might
Be too hard to learn,”
you defeat your objective.

Without the word ‘but’ you’re better able to live
With your wanting. Do know that things will turn out right.
If life sucks then you might give this notion a chance.

It’s a question of focus. When you’re asking for
Something, you’re focusing. It comes naturally
But whatever you pay attention to you bring
Into your life. You may find it interesting
How your focus improves a lot when you’re happy.
Within you there is not and asking tug of war.

What you ask for you’re up to speed with and that’s when
And only when you get to experience the
Hands in the clay feeling of expansion. It’s fun
To expand when you know you’ll never get it done.
It’s not fun to expand to who you’ve come to be
And not go there. Only frustration happens then.

Are you fascinated with the intricacies
Of your daydream and with all the ingredients
In the kitchen? Are you prepared to make your meal?
All that should matter to you is the way you feel.
Positive feelings that are extremely intense
Propel you through your life with remarkable ease.

Manifestation Is Coming Your Way

Rejoice

In the morning is the best time to meditate.
It need not be a big deal. Just take a big yawn
And a stretch. Take in the feeling of the new day.
Do not let the good feeling you have slip away.
Take the time that you need to embrace the new dawn.
Do whatever it takes to remain in that state.

You are naturally a good feeling being.
You need not make things difficult. Appreciate
The freedom of the moment. Stay there for as long
As you want. Your day then will be a joyful song.
Don’t be surprised by all the treasures that await
Your possession. To you your knowing is freeing.

Law of Attraction provides for you a consistent
Life experience over which you have control.
By not finding a not feeling good thought you can
Remain happy. You can always feel better than
You do at any moment. You can become whole
In a short while. It’s a powerful time segment.

Find and maintain that frequency of feeling good
The first thing in the morning before you begin
To remember all the things you’d like to forget.
Once you get that momentum going you can let
The day turn out to be a game that you can win.
That you will manifest things is well understood.

Connect With Infinity

Infinite Intelligence

What is infinite intelligence anyway?
It has been called God consciousness. Still I wonder
How infinity feels. Many experience
This state often. It’s one of complete transcendence.
It’s a positive influence to be under
So I hear without having all that much to say.

The best word to describe it may be clarity.
One could call it alignment but that word is just
Not as feelable and the word love has been messed
With so much that its true meaning can’t be expressed
Easily. In the power of language we trust
To explain what we’ve come to know with certainty.

It’s that feeling of absolute confidence in
What I’m doing that gets me closer to that place
Where I seem to know everything I need to know
In each moment. My soul has no wish but to grow
In experience. I believe in divine grace
And that my not partaking of it is a sin.

With no petty issues and no blockages I
Am receptive to infinite intelligence.
Life provides enough contrast and I’m connected
To infinity. Good is to be expected.
The mere thought of it offers renewed confidence.
The power that creates worlds is now my ally.

Receiving The Movie

Ready For The Show

What I visualize sometimes out of the blue
Is the sun as my heart in a spinning vortex
Of pure love and abundance. Everything is there.
It feels stable, indeed I become more aware
That the world’s problems are not so hard and complex
That love cannot resolve them. I know that it’s true.

Moving into a segment of meditation
I can feel the connection again. I adore
The feeling of alignment. I like Receiving
The Movie.
There’s no harm done in my believing

In its coming. I want to be open to more
Reception of what isn’t of my creation.

I expect to get into that place where something
Will occur to me. I can’t receive and project
At the same time. I’m in the receiving mode now.
I have asked for the Movie, now I must allow
It to happen, but it’s something I can’t expect.
It would be nice if it would commence happening.

I love being in that place of not worrying.
I’m eager to watch the Movie if there is one.
If there is, I’ll enjoy it. If not, that’s okay.
What’s most important is that I’ve learned how to stay
Pretty much in alignment, and in the long run
I’ve a better understanding of everything.

Viewing Others’ Contrast

Moment Of Despair

I can deal with my own contrast but watching those
Who experience trauma much greater than mine
Takes me deep into darkness where I don’t belong.
I feel that my feeling what they’re feeling is wrong.
It would be an atrocity if I felt fine
When I see people living among the shadows.

I’m not in tune with my inner being. That’s why
I can’t feel true compassion in a selfish way
Which means getting in touch with their inner being.
Theirs and mine have a different way of seeing
What looks much like disaster. I’m willing to pay
More attention to what my spirit won’t deny.

The assumption is that contrast is a bad thing.
But does everyone feel the same thing when they see
It around them? Does everyone feel the same way
About contrast? What does my spirit have to say
About it? Am I allowing myself to be
Of some help through the vibration I’m offering?

Contrast is beneficial. It helps us to grow
Into master creators. Each burning desire
Born of contrast serves everyone in the long run.
One can know that true enlightenment has begun
When one sees contrast as something life must require
For expansion. We must learn to go with the flow.

Allowing Mode

Umbilical Star

You can call it your relationship with spirit
As you feel it’s your best friend who knows everything
About your preferences and guides you along
So that rarely something will go terribly wrong.
Inspiration comes to you by your allowing
It to do so by the vibration you transmit.

Or you can just acknowledge it as a process
In that you have intentions. You’re in alignment
And the things that will satisfy you most occur
To your conscious awareness. The things you prefer
Manifest as you want them. With some refinement
Of your vibration, you’ll achieve true happiness.

Just assume that you are most often in the mode
Of receiving impulses. You might say someone
Else is helping you, but spirit is drawing from
The big pile that you put there. All that you’ve become
Up to this moment comes to you in the long run.
You endeavor to keep yourself on the highroad.

You can recognize co-creation happening
When you feel satisfaction. Continually
You’re asking. The question is how much resistance
Are you offering. Life is not a game of chance.
Spirit knows all about who you’re striving to be.
You have access to all that will make your heart sing.

Life Mastery

Threshold Of Reality

Do I need confirmation from The Almighty
That I’m well on my journey? How much can I know
That I should know to keep my spirit flying high?
I’ve discovered that if I ask the question why
My life can get better, the universe will show
Me a world that is full of possibility.

After I’ve quieted my mind I can then play
Around with the idea until I receive
An impulse to do something. Whatever I do
Is because I’ve gotten an intuitive clue
From spiritual forces in which I believe.
That’s how in an elevated state I will stay.

Until I feel a sharp elevation in my
Emotions, I can’t be receptive to the grace
That is offered me. What I do is done in bliss.
Any thought other than that I need to dismiss
As irrelevant. What I do I must embrace
With passion. It is a question of do or die.

It must feel like something I really want to do
More than anything else. It’s always productive
But the thrill is the purpose in anything done.
What appears to be work is actually fun.
Life is wonderful if I am willing to give
All I’ve got to the mission that I’m assigned to.

Stop Doubting Yourself

Moment Of Self-Doubt

If you want something out of life, if there’s some goal
That you want to reach, if you have some special dream,
Or if you want to overcome your bad habits,
It’s not easy. The most average person quits
Fairly quickly, which may relate to self-esteem
Where a lack of ambition frustrates the poor soul.

Most people go through life never discovering
What their talents are. The only thing that will make
One happy is to discover what one can do
And to feel incredible power pushing through
Whatever holds one back. One avoids the heartache
Of not trying. The fear is worth overcoming.

People are rewarded in public for what they
Practice for years in private. Become creative,
Resourceful, and relentless in bringing about
The change needed to get rid of nagging self-doubt.
You can live life better if you’re willing to give
More attention to how you feel throughout your day.

Power becomes available to you when you
Develop enough courage and passion to not
Be deterred by negative feedback from others.
Keep your focus on noticing all that occurs
In your favor. Give your cherished dream all you’ve got.
The universe is helping to make it come true.

Don’t Do What You Don’t Want

Satisfaction is what your inner being feels
All the time about who you are and about where
You are going. Satisfaction comes from one place.
Moving in the direction of what you embrace,
Just as your inner being does, will get you there.
Be open to the wisdom your true heart reveals.

You live in a world that has tried to motivate
You into doing things that you don’t want to do.
When you think about going to work do you feel
Satisfaction such that you’re overcome with zeal?
It would be a nice thing only if it were true.
When you think of vacation, you can hardly wait.

People try to control you by their demanding,
Whining, and complaining. Never do anything
You don’t want to do. It sets a bad example
For the rest of us. Do not let others trample
Any bit of your freedom. Your inner being
Is your source, your guidance, and your understanding.

You can’t motivate yourself, and you can’t demand
Of yourself to do anything. You will receive
Inspiration that will call you forward when you
Are resistance free. You can do what you want to
And not worry that there’s something you won’t achieve.
Let your inner being be the one in command.

Vocation

Individual Expression Through Social Interaction

What you do in life chooses you. You don’t choose it
But you can reject it and do something safer.
At some point, when you create yourself to succeed,
You will either drop that creation and be freed
To explore who you really are, or you’ll concur
With how others see you for their own benefit.

You do not exist. We’re all playing characters
To help us interact well with one another.
I’m the flickering light and the dancing shadow –
Nothing masquerading as something folks can know
By its name so that the performance can occur.
Anyway, it’s the way society prefers.

Do not kill who you really are for something fake.
Energy depletion will occur if you do.
Inauthentic personalities to maintain
So that you fit in well is a definite drain
On your life force. It is best that you remain true
To your mission. You’ll less likely make a mistake.

You can join the game, fight the wars, and play with form
All you want, but to find real peace you must let go
Of the armor. Your need for acceptance makes you
Quite invisible in this world. Your light shines through
The temple of your body. Let your spirit grow
By not following the practices of the norm.

The Cycle

Ever Changing Momentum

When one thinks about cycles what things come to mind?
Life is full of examples. Infinite they are.
So ingrained in the psyche, the symbol is seen
In everything observed. All is one great machine.
We’re the consciousness that can perceive its own star.
Cyclic is the way the universe is designed.

We, conceived of the heavens, conceive in return
The apparent perfection of all creation.
The grand clock of the cosmos keeps eternity
As its parts keep time only, yet naturally,
We’re enthralled by this thing that may forever run
And delight in all that we may never discern.

The seasons are the numbers upon the round face
Of the analog drama of which we’re a part.
The magnificent contrast gives us assurance
That fulfillment of wanting is the circumstance
That is dominant. This is how all thought should start.
Integral are the cycles that generate grace.

To Be or To Be not is the challenge taken.
Every speck of existence gathers momentum
That the cosmos responds to. Each then can receive
Through belief in The Cycle. They all interweave.
We have internal knowing of what is to come
Because we cycle through it again and again.

The Nutshell Of All Being

The Cooperative Network of Existence

The process in a nutshell of manifesting
Is a series of five steps. The first is, I ask.
That I can’t help but doing. Life shows me contrast
So that I’ll want for better. It may not come fast
Yet asking is not nearly as daunting a task
As preparing and waiting to get everything.

Step two is, it is answered by the universe
That is not of my doing, but I must believe
The vibrational version that I’ve created.
All that I need to do is keep looking ahead
On the way to fulfillment. I’m not so naïve
As to think it can’t happen. That would be a curse.

So the gist of step three is admitting it’s real
And accept that what I ask is already done.
Then step four is getting really good at step three.
Stepping into alignment comes naturally.
I’ve found out how to quiet my mind and have fun.
I’m worthy of the goodness that life may reveal.

Step five is to experience contrast again
And know that it’s a good thing. It helps me to grow.
Expansion is what’s wanted. I need solutions
Which means that I need problems. Thus the cycle runs
In an unending fashion. This is good to know.
In a nutshell, I always end up where I’ve been.
