Thinking Too Much And Trying Too Hard

Separation

In a state of anxiety over things that
I have no control over, I think way too much
About human continuance. I have my views
About faith in a species that can’t even choose
Survival over profit and power. There’s such
A colossal failure regarding where we’re at.

That’s why I meditate. It puts my mind at ease.
When I focus on nothingness I can suspend
Negative thoughts. In doing so I can achieve
Clarity. It puts me in the mode to receive
Information that will help me to comprehend
Human nature. I long to see as spirit sees.

That’s the piece of the puzzle. I don’t want to get
Invested in the object of my creation
Instead I want to enjoy the state of being
With my inner being forever agreeing.
My discomfort is my truest indication
That I’m generating way too much psychic sweat.

I cannot pay an uncomfortable price and
Give life my best performance. I’ll do whatever
Is needed that is possible for me to do.
“Let go of your old habits and welcome the new”
Is a motto that may not be all that cleaver
But it’s one that both spirit and I understand.

Whose Thoughts Are These?

Troubling Question

Every thought that has ever been thought still exists.
Thoughts Are Things and each one has its own vibration.
So am I the thinker of my thoughts or do I
Just receive them? Do I catch them as they go by?
One would think that one’s thoughts are of one’s creation.
It’s the way in which the fragile ego insists.

We’re transmitting and receiving mechanisms.
Sometimes we are transmitting and sometimes we are
Receiving, yet we can do both at the same time.
It is possible to reach a truly sublime
State of being. We don’t have to search long and far
For enlightenment as human organisms.

When we’re acknowledging, noticing, comparing,
And discussing with others is when we transmit,
But receiving is best done when we’re in a state
Of receiving, where we can best appreciate
What comes to us. It’s of tremendous benefit
To be about what you’re receiving most caring.

We’re never the thinker of a great thought, instead
There’s a collective consciousness we all access.
Does the radio ask itself if it’s singing
All those songs that it’s playing? We end up bringing
How we feel to the forefront of our consciousness.
By the radio broadcast station we are led.

Grow Through It

Troubling Situation

We all go through things that are uncomfortable.
There’s that troubling coworker who gets on your nerves.
There’s a dream that has taken longer than you thought
To come true. Generally, it feels like you’re caught
In a trap of frustration. No person deserves
Such a thing, but it seems it’s not preventable.

You can’t pray away everything that bothers you.
God uses inconveniences, difficulties,
And delays to see if you choose to Grow Through It
Rather than getting bitter. If you can submit
To the test you’ve been given, then you will with ease
Get the insight and strength needed to follow through.

Our faith is tested in the fire of affliction.
We don’t grow so much in the good times. We grow in
Difficult situations. It’s not a mistake
When someone does you wrong or you get a bad break.
If you choose not to hold a grudge, you will begin
To live life with a little less contradiction.

Grow Through It! Go the extra mile. Take the high road
And forgive. This is how to use God’s loving grace.
Build your spiritual muscles. Don’t get upset
Over struggles that haven’t even happened yet.
Do not be afraid to look challenge in the face.
Grace comes to you when you’re in the receptive mode.

Try Less And Trust

Human Connection

How can I enhance my ability to find
And maintain my alignment? I have momentum
From the past that disturbs me. My thankfulness for
A good upbringing generates guilt from the core
Of my being because of the mess I’ve become.
It is natural that to myself I’m unkind.

So, I speak of alignment and those kinds of things
That I got from some teachings. A stab in the dark
It is for me to take upon this endeavor.
I would keep doing this if I lived forever.
Though I don’t have my heart set on making a mark
On this world. I’m detached from its vast happenings.

By trusting in the process and trying much less,
I can then feel relief and the sense that things are
Working out. I need to stop regurgitating
How things are. Effort won’t accomplish anything
But delay and obstruction. I’m not very far
From achieving a long-awaited happiness.

I get far out ahead of myself, believing
That I have to get out there and make things happen.
In this attraction based universe there is not
Assertion. My thoughts and feelings matter a lot.
I can make good things happen all over again
By getting myself in the mood of receiving.

Don’t Get Angry

Controlling Negative Emotion

There’s so much to be angry about. Look around
At this world gone psychotic. People everywhere
Congregate with their hatred fully on display.
Discordant, uncomfortable things people say
To provoke confrontation reveal the despair
In the heart of humanity. It is profound.

If such people show up in my experience,
Even if it is only one other, it means
That I’m hooked into that part of them. It is by
My attention to ‘their’ issue. It’s best that I
Remain silent. Why can I not avoid such scenes?
Momentum preestablished is loud and intense.

I’ll do my best to feel good. It isn’t easy
When something important in my life is at stake.
Energy flowing through me bypasses the mind.
Strong reactions are normal, although they’re unkind.
I’ll relax and breath deeply. The time that I take
To detach from the negative is good for me.

Injustice teases anger. What next do I do?
Do I brood in it, spin with it, and talk about
It with others? For me, there’s a much better way
To deal with righteous anger. I’m willing to stay
Far away from circumstances that freak me out.
To this self who is peaceful, I must remain true.

Never Be Angry?

Control Of The Inner Flame

Open flames give off heat. What a revelation!
It’s no wonder that when I touch one I get burned.
Logic dictates that it’s best for me to avoid
Anything that is painful or gets me annoyed.
Should my sources of agony be of concern?
When I am burning what should be the duration?

Discordant and uncomfortable people show
Up in my life because I’m hooked into that part
Of their energy. It’s a co-creative dance
That holds me in a most difficult circumstance.
Some people are like burners. It’s not very smart
To go near their direct flame. This much I do know.

If I have touched a hot stove, the question should be,
“What do I do next?” The answer comes right away.
“Take your hand off the hot stove immediately!
It’s not worth abundance, wellness, and clarity.
In this awful condition do you want to stay?”

That this is good advice I would have to agree.

The next time that I feel anger or injustice,
I might say to myself, “I’ve not yet decided
How long I will use you to not let myself be
In a state of wellbeing. You definitely
Did me wrong, and my anger can’t be derided,
But I’d rather be free to experience bliss.”
