The Best Is Yet To Come

Your job is to feel as good as you possibly
Can feel and be as happy as anyone could.
You have the wind of divinity at your back.
You’ve defined where you want it to go. Keeping track
Of the moments of wonder feels just as it should.
You have now got a handle on prosperity.

But you have seen nothing like what is before you.
You’re on the verge of deliberate alignment,
Which means that more specifics begin happening.
Your clarity and eagerness for life will bring
You the blessings. They come by your conscious intent
To stay positive in everything that you do.

Your appreciation for others will improve,
And the management of the Law of Attraction
Now has palpable meaning. The crevasse between
Clarity and confusion is easily seen
So that you are aware of what needs to be done.
You are reminded of this with your every move.

You’re a world citizen with a unique worldview
Who most singularly has the ability
To access unseen powers that do worlds create.
There’s no looking back now that you have reached that state
Of complete alignment with all that you can be.
The path of least resistance is made clear for you.

Don’t Blame Others

Nov5

My path has been unfolding, and it’s so easy
To fulfill my desires. People are amazing.
Wholesome experiences punctuate my day.
Things are always working out for me in this way.
Nothing much can keep my consciousness from raising.
Many wonderful things are happening to me.

Behind that, there’s a lot that is not happening.
Sometimes it feels as if I’ve been pushed from a plane,
But I cannot give credit where it isn’t due.
I’m the one who attracts things through my point of view.
To think that I’ve been pushed borders on the insane.
Can I be more careful in my ways of thinking?

My own point of attraction is what draws to me
Everything I experience. Blaming others
Brings about psychic misery. I have control
Of how I feel at all times. In this, I’m made whole…
Not a part of something that someone else prefers.
In accepting my own mess, I can become free.

Cooperative components help me to live
Out the vibration I offer. They coalesce
According to how I feel. No one else but me
Is the cause of my issues. My reality
Becomes more in alignment with fun and success.
The more I ask, the more the universe will give.

Reality Check

Nov5

A Big Bang occurred long ago, so it’s believed
By our science and therefore by most everyone.
So, simply for the sake of argument, let’s say
That the way it’s described did happen just that way.
It is apparent that this Big Bang isn’t done
With its banging, at least, that is how it’s perceived.

There is still lots of banging occurring throughout
The expanse of the universe, and it keeps on
Expanding. We know not if there is an ending.
At some level, we have to go on pretending
To be fine with whatever conclusions are drawn.
Every time we learn something new, there is new doubt.

Everlasting nonexistence cannot exist.
Consciousness is eternal. You are everyone
And all things that the Big Bang contains within it.
It is still happening. It has changed quite a bit
Since its first picoseconds. What then had begun
Is now something magnificent here in our midst.

You are all of it. You are not separate from
The Beginning that is happening until now.
Remember what the self is. It’s one perspective
Of the wholeness of being. Be then selective
In your thinking and feeling, and dare to allow
Revelations about your existence to come.

Negative People

Nov4

Negative People bug me. Their harsh energy
Is upsetting and dangerous. What can I do?
Should I say nothing to them? Should I stay away
From them altogether? Do I accept that they
Have a right to their feelings? How do I get through
Having to be around them perpetually?

I should be stable enough that I don’t need the
Condition to be perfect in order to be
In alignment. There is such a freedom in that.
There’s no time for engaging in negative chat.
But, within the contrast, am I able to see
That the people that bug me are the same as me?

We’re all in this together. I have had my days
Of disaster because of my negative mood.
So, I can well relate to where they’re coming from.
Can I set an example and somehow become
The answer to their problems with my attitude?
Perhaps so. I can be helpful in many ways.

Negative emotion cannot be a bad thing.
It’s the starting point of the creative process.
I feel appreciation for its existence.
Through my disposition I can be of immense
Benefit to the circumstance. I acquiesce
And acknowledge what positive feelings can bring.

The Creative Process

Nov4

Creation happens always. There is not a rest
To be taken. It maintains its cyclic process
Constantly. The first thing that is meant to occur
Is your thinking and asking for what you prefer
Of the universe. It will provide nothing less
Than complete satisfaction that’s fully expressed.

What happens then is that the universe collects
Cooperative components to yield to you
Through the path of least resistance what you desire.
Entities unknown to us convene and conspire
To support your intentions. All you need to do
Is feel good in its happening in all respects.

Through appreciation and through meditation
You can reach that state where you’re able to receive
Inspiration that guides you. In your bag of tricks
Are the tools that are needed in order to fix
Resistant momentum. It is when you achieve
Contentment with you’re here and now you become one.

Trying to make things happen will happen much less
When you’re in alignment with who you really are.
If you are entertained by the things that you do
Then the blessings of the universe come to you.
Be content in the knowing that you can’t stray far
From the path that will lead to pleasure in success.

Life’s Secret

Nov3

The most obvious question is, “What’s life about?”
It’s no secret to many who have come to know
The most accurate answer. That we must survive
Is apparently the reason to stay alive,
To prosper, and to find fulfillment as we grow.
Our Western philosophy leaves us with some doubt.

“You’ve got to go on living,” says society.
“It’s your duty to make it or else,” they will say.
There’s no real necessity to go on living,
Not because life can be harsh and unforgiving,
But because all our troubles are washed clean away.
So, the fear of death must be absurd completely.

The spontaneous nature of nature is such
That it happens of itself without influence
From outside. If you try to command the process
You will falter and encounter much undue stress.
Nature’s code to our feeble minds doesn’t make sense.
Focused in this reality we are too much.

Way deep down far inside us, we basically
Are the fabric and structure of all that exists.
Fireworks in the universe celebrate all
That is happening with it. This isn’t a small
Thing to ponder, even though the ego resists.
You are now living the secret, which is ‘to be.’

The Depths Of Who You Are

Nov3

Every life form is an expression of the One
Timeless and formless One life. Beyond anything
That’s subject to destruction, it’s not opposite
Of what’s called life. It’s good to remember that it
Is the opposite of birth. Death is depressing
From the surface perspective where all life is done.

Births and deaths apply to the forms that appear on
The surface of reality. Its perspective
Is dreadful, but from knowing that all life is One,
One will find that one’s death is not something to shun.
Timelessness is the realm of the most subjective
Part of you. It’s the self that will never be gone.

The transcendent dimension you have access to.
There you will realize that you are much more than
You appear to be on the surface of it all.
The physical part of you is limited and small.
From the deathless dimension you know that you can
Know that part of you that is eternal and true.

All of life is a temporary expression
On the surface of being. With deep compassion
We behold all the madness perpetrated by
Those who don’t know who they are. We cannot deny
The harshness of reality. In everyone
Is the spark of divinity ever begun.

Embodying Stillness

Nov2

If you go to visit a Zen monastery,
Where they call meditation ‘sitting,’ one may ask
“How long you have been sitting? I’ve been sitting for
A few decades or so.” “Doesn’t you butt get sore?”,
May be one’s response who is not up to the task
Of doing the work that is most necessary.

Sitting in meditation, one is familiar
With a method, but don’t confuse it with the state
You are in while you’re doing it. Meditation
Is a state of pure presence. You can be at one
With the universe, and you do not have to wait
To become more aware of who you really are.

The method is designed to facilitate the
State of consciousness, but at some point every one
Must be dropped so that you can be right in that place
Of immaculate presence. Its welcome embrace
Is available to you through meditation.
Method is simply the way of coming to be.

One evolves to the point where no method at all
Becomes necessary to be in alignment.
If you get too attached to your method, then you
Will defeat your intention. What you may go through
To get there may be subject to some refinement.
It cannot be for you an impossible call.

The Ripple And The Ocean

Nov2

The question is whether at this moment you can
Know or sense within yourself that underlying
Presence that is deeper than the person you are.
Elusive and intangible, it can be far
From easy to discern. It is mind defying.
It has concerned people since before time began.

It is all pervasive. It is your own presence
That cannot be sensed if you are trapped in your thought.
“Where’s this ‘presence’?” I’m trying to find it but can’t.”
It’s of no use to go on a negative rant.
There’s a simple way of getting to what is sought.
What exists below your surface is quite immense.

When the mind is quieted for just a short while,
At first, it seems like nothing, It’s rather boring
Of a space for too damned long. But gradually,
You will find peace in that emptiness. You will see
That there is much more to you worth not ignoring.
The mind always wants to run the one minute mile.

The ripple is the thinking mind. It is akin
To the turbulent surface. The rebel ego
Can observe its connectedness with the divine
And the Ocean. You’re able to fully align
With that self most unnamable. It is the flow
Of life essence. The universe is found within.

Let It In

Nov1

The sunshine is delicious as I Let It In.
This day has been a miracle. I’m grateful for
How the laws of the universe train me to be
In alignment with what I call Source Energy.
Opportunities I have to learn a lot more
About this Source and my life. Where do I begin?

When I say that it’s possible, what I’m saying
Is that I know it could be, but it’s not right now.
Therein lies some resistance. If I say, “It’s Done!”
Then I am in alignment with the vibration
That will let the thing happen. I need but allow
Its becoming. My doubting causes delaying.

The larger part of me has already become
What I’m after. The feeling is different from
That of being uncertain. It’s done already.
When it’s done, I have freedom to just let it be
So that more quickly the things that I want will come.
I can’t let anything in if I’m feeling glum.

If I feel that it’s not done, then what do I do?
Who do I need to talk to? I don’t have to go
Through this mental gymnastic when I know It’s Done.
I don’t have to try harder, and I can have fun
On the way to fulfillment. Relief I can know
In accepting the doneness that I’ve access to.

Transcendence Through Stillness

Nov1

How do I learn to transcend the limited me
…The conditional entity? How do I know
What is silence and stillness? What has this to do
With the person I am and what I’m going through?
What does it mean to be ‘still?’ How can someone grow
Without moving? Can this fettered self be made free?

Like most words, ‘stillness’ is but a starting off place
For describing what can’t be described easily.
Everyone has their own experience of it.
Meditation is the perfect thing to permit
It to happen. What’s called my personality
Is dissolved in the process of receiving grace.

If I haven’t found the stillness, no matter how
Well I do in life, it will turn into something
Unfulfilling, even if the world praises me.
Free from erratic motion I most want to be.
It is the cause of most of human suffering.
The stillness is available to me right now.

I like pleasant conditions and circumstances.
By the same token, bad situations cause me
Much discomfort, but if I can find the stillness
In the moment, I know that I will suffer less
Than I would if I can’t. Stillness I clearly see
As the alternative to my taking chances.
