The Emotional Journey

What happens when you have those feeling places that
Contradict one another? A change of career
Has been on my mind lately. I get excited
About travel abroad. The adventure ahead
I can feel with much passion. There also is fear
That I’ll leave other parts of my life falling flat.

I want to do an institute in India.
I can feel creativity flowing through me.
I love collaborating. The people I meet
Will provide opportunities that will be sweet.
In my heart I believe this is how it will be.
I can do very well in that rich arena.

But again apprehension in blended into
My feelings of elation. Some risk I will take.
It’s a lot of hard work. I will be out of touch
With my family and friends who I cherish much.
Dangerous it may be. The decision I make
Is one of great significance. What shall I do?

When I think thoughts that feel good, I feel good inside.
The reverse is true also. I care more about
Getting into alignment vibrationally.
The Emotional Journey is one that should be
Taken before all others. I’ll deal with my doubt.
My awareness of how I feel shall be my guide.

Ask This Question

Jun19

Much obscene information erupts into play
With my daily reality. There is no need
For me to ask a single thing. Too much goes on
For the mind to keep track of. Consensus is drawn
From the common collective. In this way I’m freed
From the wild chase that would make a waste of my day.

Negative emotion always means that I’m not
In agreement with how my inner being feels
About what I am dealing with. It cannot see
Any evil in anyone including me.
It’s the epitome of positive ideals.
What it thinks about all things should matter a lot.

I could choose to be angry about many things
That involve people having to be different
Than they are in order for me to be happy.
They won’t change who they are just to satisfy me.
There is one other option. I can be content
In the clarity that my inner being brings.

How does my inner being feel about this thing
That I’m focused upon? Is my gut in a knot?
If so, it means I’m not in agreement with it.
My internal guidance is of huge benefit.
It tells me when I’m warm or cold and when I’m hot.
It’s the only question I will keep on asking.

Follow These Steps

Jun18

Can I make the time shorter? If so, tell me how.
Manifestation is a game for many folk.
They’ve become absolute masters of creation
Being able to reach the state of elation.
The steps to my salvation are never a joke.
I can focus on them rather clearly by now.

I can feel the emotion of how it would be
If my dream were already true. Quite satisfied
With wellbeing and rightness, I would feel content
Yet excited about each upcoming event.
Anything that I ask for cannot be denied.
I now know what it is like to be truly free.

I’ll stay there for a moment. The satisfaction
That I feel is of steady balance and control.
I can milk that perfection of feeling without
The thing having happened. I can harbor no doubt
That without the condition I still can be whole.
I like getting there through the laws of attraction.

Having gotten there is quite an accomplishment.
It feels good to be sure and secure in knowing
That without having what I want I can feel fine
And if I keep on doing it then by design
Forces of the universe will conspire to bring
The condition I’m after through conscious intent.

Doors Will Open

Jun14

I am in a profession where I daily treat
People with hypertension and anxiety.
But that’s not what I want to do. I feel I’m stuck.
There is nothing about it that leaves me awestruck.
The universe must know that I’d rather be
Doing what I want so that my life is complete.

I must not beat up on myself. That is useless.
Must I learn that I need to meet people halfway?
The people that I work with are set in their ways.
Their path of least resist matches their mores.
It is just what it is now. Perhaps I could stay
Since there are no immediate signs of distress.

I know that my inner being knows where I am
In relationship to everything that I want.
It knows the path of least resistance to get there.
I’m fulfilled in my service. Indeed I do care
About people in general, and I can’t flaunt
My extravagant ego lest myself I damn.

It does not matter what I’m doing. It only
Matters how I am feeling when I’m doing it.
I can’t get to where I want to go by trying
To escape where I am. Only pain that will bring.
Change is in the big picture, but I must permit
Here and now to invigorate and excite me.

Let Go Of The Past

Jun5

The purest part of you never looks at the past
So when you do you’re going to feel resistance.
And your inner being will never forgive you
Because you cannot ever give it reason to.
Your strong need for forgiveness leaves you with no chance
Of ever feeling a wholesomeness that will last.

What you did was atrocious. You know that too well.
Not a day passes by where you don’t feel remorse
For what cannot be undone. The best part of you
Will not sanction your guilt even though it is true
That it’s hard to feel worthy. Do know that your source
Of direction can mitigate some of this hell.

There are two points of view that you can select from.
One involves inspiration which comes from within.
Motivation is the other. It’s trying to
Force your hijacked awareness to something that you
Would prefer. Only you can forgive your grave sin.
Only then are you able to recover some.

Forgiveness is your turning your attention to
Something that allows energy from the divine
To flow to you and through you. Keep looking ahead
Even though there are people who would wish you dead.
You’re not a despicable creature by design.
Dare to be forward looking in all that you do.

Don’t Face Reality

May29

Without being outrageous how can it be known
That reality is what we keep on facing
Which is why it’s so real to our human senses?
Momentum is needed before change commences.
It can be done by good-feeling-thought embracing.
I create my reality all on my own.

There’s plenty of reality I would retain
And so much I’d avoid due to no interest.
I will replicate in my life experience
What I am mostly focused on, and it makes sense
That a selective sifter I am at my best.
I can be more discerning for maximum gain.

If a thought doesn’t feel good I’ll go general
Which will slow its momentum. On the other hand
If it feels good then going specific is right.
What I’m after will much sooner be within sight.
This is not all that hard for me to understand.
I must trust that my life is never in peril.

When I feel anything whether it’s bad or good
I can say, “Good for me; my guidance is working.”
Guidance is not an indictment of worthiness.
It is only indication of my progress
On the path I have chosen. It’s interesting
That it cares for me as if it knows that it should.

You Do Not Need A Job

Apr28

Do you like working for the money that you get?
Indeed, do you like money and how well it flows
Into your life experience? Is the feeling
One of bliss in knowing you’re fully deserving?
Can you just allow all that its blessing bestows?
Or must you justify it due to your mindset?

Is the justifying that you’re doing your way
Of allowing? Can you feel that there’s enough room
To play with? You can shift your perspective so that
You can be more allowing. You’ll get that down pat.
Then less justification you’ll need to assume.
Feeling good about money enlivens your day.

There are those who work hard and don’t have a whole lot.
There are others who work little and are wealthy.
The latter are the ones who have figured it out.
It is not about action. They know beyond doubt.
It’s about your vibration and being healthy.
If you want change to happen, do give it a shot.

The real work that you do is about energy…
About habits and attitudes and feeling good.
It’s telling the new story the way it should be…
Just as you want it to play out and exactly
As is by divine forces it is understood.
Thoughts of recession cannot be reality.

Sixty Eight Seconds

Apr27

In four times that it takes for a thought to become
Registered in the psyche, magic can take place
In the way of pure freedom of seeing just how
My own thoughts that are negative must disallow
The least bit of attention. I know that my grace
Is in going more general. I’ll beat that drum.

If I start off by thinking of just having fun…
People laughing and moving about gleefully…
Then more thoughts like that follow. But if I get stuck
In a negative thought stream, am I out of luck?
Noticing when I am there may train me to be
Mindful of how, in general, life is to run.

If my thought takes a downturn, and I act quickly,
I can simply stop thinking it before it grows
Into much of a monster. I can start again
Going general until I reach the point when
I can do it unconsciously. Who would oppose
Having heart healing focus? That wouldn’t be me.

The specifics fill into my general view
Of this life that I’m given as I play along
Not opposing the present. The way things may be
May not be the reason for my not being free
To live life any better than utterly wrong.
In a handful of seconds, all can become new.

Access The Power

Feb22

Writing down things is powerful. I’d like to share
Yet another technique that was offered to me.
It’s about manifesting. I know; “Not again!”
But my job is informative. I like it when
There’s a topic worth tackling. Not all may agree,
And obliged I am truly to say I don’t care.

List three things that you want on three sheets of paper.
Each sheet lists only one thing. So write at the top
“These are reasons I want this.” On the other side
List all of the reasons that you won’t be denied.
At some point in your listing you will have to stop
And behold what you’ve written and quite on the spur.

It is necessary only that you want it
With a positive passion. Writing enhances
The belief in your wanting. It forms a strong link
With the thing that you’re focused upon. Now, just think
Of the power of this improving your chances
Of obtaining things. This is of huge benefit.

Spend some time in your day… twenty minutes or so
To enter deep reflection. Examine your dream.
Let your dominant intention be to look for
Things that you find delightful and then look for more.
May your big boat of freedom be headed downstream.
Benefits of your focus will begin to flow.

Meditative Intentions

Feb6

I intend to feel peaceful. I want to relax
And let breathing release me from my resistance
To the nature of who I am. I want to be
In complete alignment with the best part of me.
In this moment I’m thankful I’m given the chance
To take care of this body that I overtax.

I need fifteen to twenty minutes – no longer.
I have trained my mind to be active. I can’t ask
It to be perfectly silent for very long
Although it could be longer if nothing is wrong
With the present surroundings. I do long to bask
In this state of pure pleasure now and forever.

Isolating on some sound will carry me there
Like that of the ocean or of the central air
Produced by the machinery in the basement.
Only absolute silence could try to prevent
My completing my exercise. It’s an affair
That I treat ceremoniously and with care.

As the mind wanders I refocus on the sound.
Many times it may happen, but that is just fine.
All I need do is come back to the here and now.
Once I feel some detachment I then can allow
Only thoughts that are pleasing and are truly mine.
I’m delighted that in this way much peace is found.

Self-Love And Appreciation

Jan30

Know that your inner being loves and adores you.
You need not feel conceited or shy in the least.
You come into connection with all that it knows
By thinking thoughts that feel good – not those that oppose
The ones that your true self thinks. Much can be released
That is causing resistance in lieu of a clue.

As you think thoughts that beat up on yourself, others,
Or the circumstances in your life, you vibrate
To those energies and attract more of the same
Situations. Then you have no one else to blame,
But you have full control over what you create.
Your true self is at peace with whatever occurs.

You can keep a journal of positive aspects
Which is nothing more than a notebook called the same.
Write down in it all good things you happen to be.
If you’re not finding many, eventually
They will come. It takes practice. So make it a game
And delight in the feelings your true self reflects.

Absolutely imperative it is that you
Come into alignment with who you really are
Which means you must adore yourself. Do find a way
To uncover your worthiness without delay.
Being in love with yourself is not that bizarre
Compared to all the negative things people do.

Give It No Thought And It Will Come

Jan4

It can be a head scratcher. This life of contrast
Is a bear to be dealt with continually.
But as necessity comes before invention,
One must go through the process of comprehension
Of life’s black and white nature before there can be
Natural transformation into the fantast.

Contrast is meant to cause us to want for better,
And as soon as the wanting is felt in the soul,
It is felt by the universe and becomes real.
Even though you can’t see it right now, you can feel
Every bit of the goodness. That must be the goal –
Not the how, who, or what. Don’t be a go getter.

It is hard to accept a thing’s reality
If it is a vibration that you cannot touch.
But you must do exactly this in order to
Set yourself up to get the thing that is due you.
You can learn not to beat yourself up so damned much
Over things not controllable. Just let them be.

You could say you want something. Then think not of it.
It would still come to manifest into being.
Only one thing keeps you from achieving your goals.
Your opposing thoughts will shoot you dreams full of holes.
You must evolve the feeling before the seeing
Becomes real in your life. To yourself do commit.

Re-Tune Your Thoughts

Dec1

When the gas gauge nears empty do you cry in shame
With your head on the steering wheel wondering why
Such a crisis befell you? You’d hoped it would last
But it didn’t so you feel you’ve done things half assed.
You then feel the despair of a life gone awry
And you have no one else but your damned self to blame.

Slap a happy face sticker across that gas gauge.
It’s depressing to look at. Indeed it’s obscene.
This ridiculous scenario is to say
That we have built in gauges that lead us the way
That is of least resistance. Somewhere in between
The absurd and reality our thoughts engage.

It’s an indicator that tells you what you need.
Nothing more or less is it than a messenger.
It is time for a fill up if you don’t feel well.
Do not hang around others and put them through hell.
Offer thoughts more conducive to what you prefer.
Take notice of how you feel, and you will succeed.

When you’re pissed off at someone, that gauge is ignored
To your ultimate detriment. All of your thought
Is devoted to anger, like swimming upstream
When what you want is downstream. This recurring theme
Is the lifelong conundrum in which you are caught.
Having thoughts that aren’t loving you cannot afford.

You Will See It When You Believe It

Nov27

Is believing seeing or seeing believing?
Some confusion is worthwhile for some clarity.
You must be a cooperative component
With your own thoughts of power through conscious intent.
Not against what you’re wanting can your thinking be.
Try to be in the state of always receiving.

Talk yourself into believing what you desire.
Refrain from the temptation to tell your story
Of the way things are constantly. Don’t grab the ear
Of another and tell them all about your fear.
They will label you toxic. It’s better to be
Positive so that wholesomeness you may acquire.

What is may be of interest to others who
Think that what is is important to care about.
We have many excuses for not achieving
What we want in the present. But here is the thing.
What is isn’t of value. It generates doubt
About what you’re receiving and all you can do.

You must let go of what is so you can allow
What’s becoming to happen or else it will not.
New desire born of contrast is living fresh air.
Just decide to be delighted on the way there.
The journey toward fulfillment does matter a lot,
And the power that you have is right here and now.

All Else Falls Into Place

Aug15

Oddly shaped are the raindrops as freely they fall.
Must I do something with each before it can rest
On the surface now built up? Where is my control?
This life game is a journey, but what is the goal?
If I play with the right folk, I won’t fail the test,
Yet that doesn’t prevent me from dropping the ball.

My mind is a container. Its volume of thought
Can’t exist without big holes of dead empty space.
If by staying high minded I’m able to change
How each thought takes the surface – if I can arrange
Them before they cannot be – I’m running whose race?
This game is at its most basic fatally fraught.

I create my reality, damn it to hell!
It should not be a death sentence but awesome news.
My desires and beliefs must be in alignment.
If they’re not then this lifetime is one I’ll resent.
Whatever it may come to, I do get to choose
Every thought that I think and where each one should dwell.

How things might come together is not my business
Nor should it be of any concern. Only why
Should fill up the container. Good things will in turn
Fall in place rather nicely. God’s grace I discern
Showering down upon me like rain from the sky.
All I need do is trust in the simple process.

Tipping The Vibrational Scale

Jul14

When consumed in vibration, like feeling my best
At whatever I’m doing, I need to take care
That I won’t then feel guilty. What if the next shoe
That will drop is calamity. What will I do
If my mood begins plummeting out of nowhere?
Can I know that forever and always I’m blessed?

“I have found my beloved. She is my soul mate.
Whenever we’re together our hearts beat as one.
I have wished for so many things that have come true.
Feeling so much on top of the world as I do,
I can know that my asking will never be done
And there is not an ending to what I create.”

I cannot know the bigness of provident grace.
I provide the ingredients through my desire.
Then forces universal take over from there.
All I need do is let go and be more aware
Of assurances given me as they conspire
To surprise and delight me all over the place.

Seeking thought non-resistant, the pleasure therein
Is the mind made more quiet. Can I tip the scale
From my guilt for enjoyment of life here and now?
I must feel myself worthy, then I can allow
What is good to come to me in every detail.
Can I rid myself of my existential sin?

Wonderful things may happen. Amazed I’ll not be
Though it goes against habit. Some work it does take
To where I am expectant of things working out
To my general favor. The presence of doubt
Is a cumbersome killjoy that leads to heartache.
All that I have been asking for will come to be.

On Preparing To Diet

May31

We are that which we eat. Someone say it ain’t so.
What goes into my bloodstream becomes part of me.
If I quack like a pig and break wind like a cow
I need not fail to wonder since they are my chow.
My hot wings have no feathers so how can I flee
The zoo which is my body? And do my cells know?

I am that which I think. I cannot deny that.
Every thought that I’m thinking connects to others
Of the same kind. Together they color my mood.
So it is best that I consume good mental food
So my life may be livable as it occurs.
Consciously I must keep my mood from falling flat.

Many decades of pent up negativity
Is the result of carelessness. What I take in
To my body and mind must be wholesome and free
Of all negative karma. What goes into me
Must be free of what kills me or else it is sin
That is rough on the soul when compounded daily.

Before starting a diet it’s best to prepare
Through an intensive purging of body and mind.
One can bypass the junk food the same as bad thought.
Though it takes lots of effort I will grow a lot
In the ways of the spirit as life is designed.
Dieting is the way we become more aware.

Control

Apr30

I control not my thoughts nor the ways that I feel.
In a real sense I am them. To give up control
Is to have it completely. If I were to try
To gain absolute power by force I apply,
It will only disturb things, which isn’t my goal.
I must trust what the universe has to reveal.

Like a good friend this universe can be to me.
Trusting it like a person who knows me quite well,
I can give up the struggle of lying awake
Fretting over control of things. What A Headache!
But the friend who’s much bigger can banish the spell
If my faith in this kind one is of high degree.

Universes are bodies. Cells know who they are
And have things delegated at every level.
If I can but allow them to do their damned work,
Then perhaps they would think that I’m not such a jerk
Having tried to control them. I’ve put them through hell.
My relationship with them is not up to par.

That which flows to all things and does nourish them all –
Both the left and the right and all manner between –
Lords not over creation nor seeks any claim
Of merit for accomplishments. All is the same
To the friend universal who surely has seen
Every bit of creation. I am not so small.
