Freedom, Growth, And Joy

Nov3

Into this life experience each of us comes
With a triad of intentions. They are freedom,
Growth, and joy, and they are intended equally.
To reach for satisfaction you’re perfectly free
And in doing so all kinds of blessings will come
Showering down upon you in infinite sums.

Expansion or growth happens as you’re reaching for
Satisfaction. The contrast of life causes you
To ask for something better. That is expansion.
You can grow while you’re having a whole lot of fun
In fact joy is required to get the other two
Activated. Your energy tends to be more.

Satisfied with the potential of things getting
Better, you energize your point of attraction.
That’s enough for you. Just feeling good is okay
Because you know that good things are coming your way.
It all happens because of your satisfaction.
You are free to feel your best in any setting.

Why do you think you want whatever it may be?
It’s because you think you will feel better but you
Can feel better in the present. You’ve already
What you want though it exists vibrationally.
Tapping into you true self is all you need do.
You intended to live your life here happily.

Your Only Work

Oct23

Your desires are already in place. Are they not?
And you did put them all there arbitrarily
And with explicit detail. How well things work out
When of your vibrational escrow you’ve no doubt.
Culmination of your desires happens to be
What it holds. Do believe that there’s an awful lot.

The good job, the relationship, the piece of mind
And wellbeing that you want are all on their way
Into your life experience. Your work is now
To relax. Put yourself in the state to allow
Things to manifest for you. You know how to stay
In alignment. The good feeling thoughts you can find.

Your job is to get within the vicinity
Of your wanting. Do Not focus upon its lack.
Everything that you’re wanting is ready for you.
The more appreciating and loving you do
Then a whole lot more of the same you will get back.
You have done most of your work. Now just let it be.

Laugh more, play more, cruise more, bask more, and meditate
More. Do the things that soothe you into alignment.
Treat yourself as you would treat your very best friend.
The only thing of importance is that you tend
To your point of attraction. Your time is well spent
Having fun. Do it right now. You don’t have to wait.

May Your Journey Be Blessed

Oct19

Surrender the beliefs that do not allow you
To evolve into the person you want to be.
Surrender the resistance to your worthiness
And the things in your life that are causing you stress.
You are meant to be here expanding happily.
May there be success in everything that you do.

Surrender what is keeping your burning desire
From becoming a part of your reality.
Life has caused you to ask. Your desire is valid
Which means you are the only one who can forbid
Its fulfillment. Surrender and get yourself free
Of the struggle. No effort does your peace require.

Allowing is another word to use instead
Of surrendering. It does not involve torture.
You’re allowing receptiveness to clarity
And wellbeing. Through your truth you easily see
That your journey through life will be safe and secure.
Thank yourself for allowing the good times ahead.

The first manifestation is an emotion
In the creative process. If it feels okay
Then prolong it but if not then focus elsewhere.
Thoughts become things so of your thoughts you must take care.
Be aware of what uplifts you throughout your day.
To your spiritual growth give much devotion.

Keep Your Heart Open In Hell

Oct13

How can one fall in love with the wholeness of all
That exists when there’s much suffering happening
On the earth? I know that love has no boundaries
But I can’t see the way the enlightened one sees.
Human nature I cannot find interesting
And my faith in our evolution is quite small.

So the frog swimming happily in the clear pond
I can deal with but with the grass snake I cannot
And it goes a bit further. I can’t find beauty
In something that contains ugliness. I can’t be
In that high state of consciousness. All that I’ve got
Is my mind and five senses with which to respond.

All forms are related to all other forms in
Ways that are lawful. If I can appreciate
This, I’ve entered a threshold of understanding
That can result in my consciousness expanding.
While in hell one can stay in a positive state.
Meditation perhaps is the place to begin.

If I stand only in my humanity I
Cannot bear it, but If from perfection I stand
It’s impersonal. I can find true compassion
Between them. I can become an enlightened one
If I wish. I’m empowered by my own command.
Suffering does exist. I cannot ponder why.

What Is The Heart Chakra?

Oct11

What’s the heart chakra? It’s an energy center
Of the body. It’s one of seven. It’s the one
That extends past the body. With daily practice
One can use the energy to reach states of bliss.
To connect with this consciousness what must be done?
Is there some sacred space that one needs to enter?

Put your hands together as if you are praying.
Press them against your heart center and think about
Love and kindness. Think of positive energy
Expanding through your chest. Fairly soon there will be
A sensation of warmth felt but do not freak out.
Pay attention to what the feeling is saying.

The more you practice the stronger this energy
Will become until the feeling covers not just
The area of your heart but throughout the whole
Of your being. It reaches the heart of your soul.
If you want to become effective you must trust
In the process and stick with it wholeheartedly.

The entire field of consciousness you’ve access to
As you work the heart center. It is a portal
That has the power to collapse reality
Back into the waveform energy state. To be
Connected to that can make one feel immortal.
This practice can work wonders for the world and you.

Clean Up All Relationships

Oct10

You’re the mirror to what you have been offering.
Perfectly you reflect all that happens to you
So take responsibility for what occurs
In your life. You get more of what your heart prefers
As you take on a more positive point of view.
How you’re feeling is what your vibration will bring.

No matter what the relationship is it can
Evolve into something that is ultimately
Satisfying. The thoughts you continue to think
Tell the story and it may be well out of sync
With your dream of living with someone happily.
You do not have to come up with a perfect plan.

You don’t have to put up with things that are missing
In the relationship. If you do that you’re not
Allowing what you really want. Your awareness
Of what’s missing keeps active the tension and stress.
Positive declarations can help you a lot.
About good times past you could be reminiscing.

Find vibrational accordance with your ideal.
Distract yourself from the details. Focus instead
On what’s working. You don’t need the condition to
Feel the wonder of something exciting and new.
Do believe that there are always good times ahead
And as always pay attention to how you feel.

What The Masters Know

Oct7

What if noticing how you feel wasn’t something
That you wanted or strived for because you live in
A world that wants you to be tough and care much less
About your feelings? It’s not healthy to suppress
The emotions. It’s like committing mortal sin
To the spirit. Nothing good can this practice bring.

In every moment that you are encouraging
Negative momentum through your thoughts, the other
Side of the coin is gaining momentum also.
There is only one certain way for you to know
What your point of attraction is. That’s to confer
With the part of you that does all of the feeling.

“Nobody gets to just do what they want to do,”
Says society. We lack the motivation
To feel better just for the sake of doing so.
You know what is needed for your spirit to grow
And it has much to do with your having more fun.
Don’t look outside yourself for a positive clue.

Negative manifestations are a good thing
Because they bring more clarity. Don’t be upset
With yourself for not being where you want to be.
Where you are is where you are temporarily.
Be prepared for the good things that haven’t come yet.
Stay connected to whatever makes your heart sing.

When Spirit Is Speaking

Oct7

Spirit speaks clearly to you in various ways.
When you feel good or God you are fully aligned
With your spirit. Your state of health can be expressed
By how you’re feeling. In fact it’s the very best
Indicator of health. Your feelings are designed
To guide you therefore they should be given much praise.

Everything in nature is in spirit. It’s not
Spoiled by ego. Listen to the winds, the critters,
The clouds, the rains, and the oceans. Take it all in.
Because with everything in nature you are kin.
All God’s creatures are vibrational transmitters.
In terms of co-creation they teach us a lot.

Synchronistic events are of spirit also.
When you see the same number show up everywhere
Like the clock, the odometer, or the checkbook
Balance, it simply means that you should take a look
At what spirit is showing you and you should care
About everything that spirit wants you to know.

When folks line up with your thoughts mysteriously
As if your private inner meanderings were
The cause of it, Believe It! You made it come true.
Spirit brings you the people that can offer you
The best lessons – not always the ones you prefer
But they will help you to grow spiritually.

Remember The Essence Of Who You Are

Oct4

You Are Spirit. This must be the number one thing
To remember. Things like your personality,
Your body, and your intellect are a façade
Utilized by the ego. Now this may sound odd
To those ears that crave logic so vehemently
But the ego has no way of understanding.

You come to know who you are through meditation
Which you are always doing no matter if you
Are driving on the freeway or walking your dog.
You try to mitigate your inner dialogue.
Things like your breathing you can pay attention to.
You’re the focus of deliberate creation.

Mother Earth is a living organism and
You’re a part of it all. You are the sensory
Organs of the earth. You are the earth’s consciousness.
We’ll do harm to ourselves and the planet unless
We can change into what on earth we ought to be.
This concern is something most people understand.

Consciousness can be raised by forgetting who you
Are to your ego self and to others and then
Contemplating on spiritual mystery.
The old myths were inspired to help us better see
Our connection to spirit. We’re at our best when
We align with our spirit in all that we do.

A Powerful Healing Prayer

Oct1

A Powerful Healing Prayer is needed when
There’s a moral dilemma. To pray constantly
Is to continue asking. Yet doesn’t God hear
Everyone’s voice? Is this question anywhere near
Being answerable? It’s out of urgency
That we just keep on asking again and again.

What’s there to pray about? That’s made perfectly clear
By the pain felt by portions of society.
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that
You’ve received it.” There isn’t a special format
One need follow but one must focus intently
On the healing instead of on how things appear.

We recognize the need for God’s intervention
In the course of humanity and of its home –
Mother Earth. We believe that the time has now come
For our enlightenment and deliverance from
Our own selves. We seem to be an errant genome
On the planet. About us something should be done.

If we’ve failed to be righteous we know that by now
And we ask your forgiveness. We know that you see
Only our perfection. May your vision become
Ours as well. We know well where all goodness comes from.
We accept your idea of how things should be.
May your eternal blessing be ours to allow.

Regrets In The Hereafter?

Oct1

When she made her transition to the other side
It was under unusual circumstances.
The frustration she had with her life drove her to
Suicide. Was it the worst thing that she could do
To her soul? And indeed what would be her chances
Of safe passage? Would heaven to her be denied?

In every moment we are awake we receive
But the question is: What is our tuner set to?
Are we receiving truth? Or are we receiving
The spinoff of unconscious thought then believing
That it’s truth? It would seem that one’s own point of view
Has the dangerous potential to self-deceive.

The clearing process happens immediately
Upon dying. We leave behind all the regret,
Anger, guilt, and obsession with worldly affairs.
Once the spirit leaves the body it only cares
About what’s coming next and often we are met
By spiritual helpers from eternity.

We look always forward. We never look behind
To the past except to acknowledge its value
To the soul’s evolution. Our new perspective
Is of the wholeness of the human collective.
There’s no period of agony to go through.
Look within and stay out of the troublesome mind.

Matters Of The Heart

Sep30

Endlessly the heart beats. Every once in a while
It may skip one because of some wonderful thing
Having happened that makes one feel a certain way.
That it beats at all means it has something to say
To the world that gave birth to it. It’s offering
What it knows best which is how to make others smile.

It pumps blood through the body much in the same way
That the earth moves molten metal throughout its core.
This movement creates the electromagnetic
Field around the earth. Blood and metal are both thick
And the iron within the blood does account for
The field that the heart generates day after day.

The heart’s electromagnetic field becomes more
And more refined and it extends farther out from
The body where it intermingles with others’
So emotional communication occurs
At that level. The heartbeat is the sacred drum
Of the body. It’s wonders are ours to explore.

Interconnected bubbles of heart energy
We become as a species and a consciousness
More aware of its function. The heart is the way
To the soul and it is from that place that we pray
That our sacred survival is not of distress.
Our hearts communicate rather literally.

What Is Mindfulness

Sep29

It’s something that I know I had when I was young
Then I lost it for such a long time then regained
The awareness that I posses naturally.
It fits in well with my spirituality.
Mindfulness meditation can best be explained
As the song of the universe gracefully sung.

I need not get too spiritual about it
For it to be effective. My tapping into
The whole of who I am I’ve come to understand
As my getting into the zone. I can expand
My consciousness in this way. All that I need do
Is to focus intently and not just a bit.

Without interpretation or judgment I am
Well aware of what’s happening all around me.
Guided imagery and breathing methods help to
Relax my mind and body. There’s nothing to do
But exist. This is the definition of free.
About anything else I do not give a damn.

Pay attention to what you’re doing and allow
Your senses to absorb the whole experience.
Treat yourself as your own best friend. You can do this
Anytime that you choose. You’re a moment from bliss.
Mindfulness offers benefits that are immense.
Do embrace the fine art of observing your now.

Let The Universe Help You

Sep22

I no longer want to struggle. My life has been
An immense uphill battle. There’s not much to show
For my hard work. I’m weary of playing this game
Of existence. I have only myself to blame
For my circumstance. I know not which way to go.
In time it will be over but I know not when.

You give up the struggle by your never bringing
Up an unresolved desire again. Instead you
Bring up things that are working. Don’t focus on those
That are not. Get to know what your inner self knows
Of your creative passion. The more you can do
To stay happy the more your heart will be singing.

You should leave it alone if it doesn’t feel right.
The guidance within you is just letting you know
That unseen forces are advocating for you.
Of the way you feel you should pay attention to.
When you leave it alone the universe will show
You the big picture and it’s a wonderful sight.

So much action to compensate for energy
Is offered by too many. It gets them nowhere.
You’re creating more struggle so leave it alone.
You do not want to be caught in the twilight zone.
Let The Universe Help You. Become more aware
Of the power within you to just let things be.

Call On Your Spirit Guides

Sep21

How do angels and spirit guides work? Are they real?
How can I call upon them? Can they assist me
In my everyday living? If so, how can I
Sense their guidance? I keep on asking myself why
Others can perceive their guides occasionally.
Is there some special way that I’m needing to feel?

You are an extension of Source Energy and
You are now in this body. You are connected
To the world of pure spirit eternally so.
There’s no way you need be. There’s no place you need go
And your asking for help cannot be rejected.
There’s not a whole lot that you need to understand.

The nonphysical world is one of energy
Of the purest vibration. Your ability
To perceive it depends on your strength of desire.
Your communication with it doesn’t require
You to be other than who you happen to be.
Your vibration must be higher naturally.

Apart from the beliefs that you already hold
You cannot interact with the nonphysical.
The way you interpret energy is unique.
It’s alignment with your inner being you seek.
Your experiences with what is spirit shall
Become for you nuggets of spiritual gold.

Things To Remember

Sep17

You Are Spirit. That is the most important thing
To remember. There may be a gap between you
And what you want but you have the power to shift
Your vibration. You can think of it as a gift
From the universe. This power will help you to
Readjust the vibration that you’re offering.

“If I ask and it’s given then where is my stuff?”
One may ask and it’s waiting for you to become
Receptive to its calling you. It’s expanding
And becoming more. It helps your understanding
To know that your vibration is where things come from
And that there’s no such thing as not having enough.

The way you close the gap is by releasing your
Resistance and letting yourself go with the flow.
It takes only as long as it takes you to turn
In the stream. How you feel is your only concern.
Just let go of the oars and downstream you will go.
There you will find everything you want and much more.

Once you let the stream turn you, you don’t care how long
It will take because the journey is so much fun.
There’s absolutely nothing you want that’s upstream.
Let the current take you to a sense of supreme
Contentment. Life is all about your vibration.
It’s your challenge to keep it positive and strong.

When You Reach This State

Sep16

Many humans have reached an incredible state
Of alignment such that they don’t need anything
To fulfill them. For absolutely no reason
They’re content and they show kindness to everyone.
It’s a peaceful vibration that they’re offering.
Love for all humankind is what they demonstrate.

Everyone’s not a guru but we can all reach
That place of nonresistance. From within it you
Are receptive. You can focus on anything
And it will manifest. Happiness it will bring
To your most fervent asking. No more you need do
To create. This is what any guru would teach.

“I love feeling relaxed, powerful, and aware
Of who I truly am.” When you go general
There is much less resistance in your vibration.
When you’re on the high-flying disk you become one
With your wishes and everything in your life shall
Be enhanced. About how you feel you have much care.

“About my human personal self I accept
That my point of attraction can be a mixed bag
Of emotions and mindset. If I can maintain
My alignment with myself I’ll have much to gain
Even when in my life there’s a palpable snag.
The secret of my enlightenment is well kept.”

Start Asking Source For Help

Sep13

You were Source Energy before you came into
This physical body. You don’t remember that.
There’s a reason but we won’t get into that now.
It’s important only that you learn to allow
Some advice while engaging in mortal combat
With the world. It’s what you think you came here to do.

What the hell is Source Energy? Let’s call it God
Even though that word conjures so much confusion.
The Source Energy spoken of here is supreme
Consciousness whose energy is a steady stream
Of wellbeing. Through it all things on earth are done.
How you think about God can’t be taken as odd.

And you still are Source Energy even though you
Have this body to deal with. Use it as a tool
For sorting out your preferences. Be easy
About life but do live life deliberately.
Ask the provident principal of this earth school
For help with your work. It’s the wisest thing to do.

When you know what you don’t want you know what you do.
It’s a simple equation. When someone is rude
You want them to be nicer. Your inner being
Knows all that you want and is always agreeing
With your wishes. In high regard you’re always viewed.
It knows only the true magnificence of you.

The Great Song

Sep12

Sometimes a song keeps playing inside of your head.
It may be happy or sad depending upon
How you feel in the moment, but you have control
Over which one you’re hearing. You’re playing the role
Of the maestro. To you all attention is drawn.
And by you the awaiting orchestra is led.

There’s a much greater song reverberating through
The whole universe. It keeps things in harmony
So that planets that have life are safe and secure.
The Great Song is a vibration that shall endure
Through eternity. Know the exquisite beauty
Of existence especially that which is you.

Some say that life’s a sad song. They experience
What they sadly sing then they expect things to change
For the better or they just stay in a foul mood
Constantly. They develop a bad attitude.
The notion of their changing their song is too strange
So they put up destructive walls of self-defense.

Those who say it’s a happy song are the ones who
Know that it’s not the song. It’s the way you’re singing
That brings meaning to life. How you sing The Great Song
Is your freedom. Do know that you can’t get it wrong
If unto the main melody you are clinging.
May the music bring everlasting joy to you.

The Third Eye

Sep11

There’s not much scientific evidence to prove
Its existence yet it has been connected to
The pineal gland which secretes melatonin
And it is thought to play an important role in
Regulating circadian rhythms in you.
Blockages to its functioning you can remove.

Through some kinds of yoga and through meditation
You can get The Third Eye to give up something more
Than its usual substance. You can use it to
Heal and strengthen the body. It can give to you
A resilience that you’d never dreamed of before.
Strength and longevity become your creation.

It can be used to simply create blissfulness.
Like a drug it can keep you intoxicated
To the point where you don’t care about anything
But what your newfound world of contentment can bring.
Benefits of this cannot be overrated.
It’s and effective way to eliminate stress.

With daily practice it enhances perception.
When you’re carefree and joyful you stand in the breeze
And it passes right through you. You’re lighter than air.
In essence, the pineal gland makes you aware
Of your soul’s deep connection with all that it sees.
With The Third Eye your vision is second to none.

Your Highest Priority

Sep7

In order to live a life of awareness and
Freedom, in other words, to create Authentic
Power you need commitment, courage, compassion,
And appropriate action. Communication
With others is more conscious. You feel terrific.
You’ve found what allows your consciousness to expand.

All are of equal importance but commitment
Helps to get the ball rolling. Commitment to what?
To yourself and to your becoming more aware
Of your purpose. It’s important for you to care
About how you are feeling deep down in your gut
About living your life to the fullest extent.

To create more consciously and constructively
Is all part of your purpose. Being able to
Connect with people better than you’re doing it
Presently can be of tremendous benefit
To your growth as a spirit. You’re able to do
What it takes to develop spiritually.

Commitment is the deep fuel. It’s the thing that makes
It all happen. Rather than withdrawing into
Judgment or needing to please others you can be
Much more aware of Your Highest Priority.
May you have freedom that before you never knew.
The decision on your part is all that it takes.

Give And Receive Positive Karma

Sep5

There are negative people in my life. So how
Can I stay positive? I can’t push them away
Because they consist of my friends and family.
I don’t want them to hold any grudge against me.
At the same time I know that myself I betray
If mistreatment from other people I allow.

If there are negative people in your life, you
Are attracting them. Don’t look at them. Look instead
At the energy you’re creating to attract
Them into your experience. You are in fact
In need of some adjustment. Make sure that you’re led
By your most evolved self in everything you do.

Sometimes you have to divorce your negative friends,
Family members, and anyone who thinks you
Are someone who accepts abuse naturally.
Tell the straight up. The only way you will get free
Of their influence is to hold fast to what’s true
And to what your innermost being recommends.

How can you serve and be the most loving person
You can be? How does your love affect people’s lives?
Change your thought and the negative energy will
Dissipate and the people that were such a pill
Will adjust as the most evolved part of you strives
For some balance and spiritual perfection.

Where Is Mister Right?

Sep5

“You complete me.” It’s sweet. It can make the girls cry
When they hear it especially on the big screen.
People mean it when they say it. But is it true?
Is it possible for everything about you
To be part of someone else? The world, if it’s seen
Through rose colored glasses, will not be your ally.

You may have had a relationship with someone
Who’s abusive so red flags go up everywhere
There are men. Look at that to see what’s going on
With your feelings from which conclusions can be drawn
In order to provide yourself the best of care
In your searching for a romantic solution.

Don’t be in denial about previous pain
That you suffered. You must feel it then let it go
Because it’s served its mission. Don’t drag it into
The future. You’ll repeat the ordeal if you do.
Once the pain is transcended the healed heart will grow
In experience. You’ll have a whole lot to gain.

Don’t look for the ‘right’ person. Instead look for who
In yourself you would love to be. Make yourself the
Right person for yourself then the right person will
Be attracted to you but he may not fulfill
Your dream in every detail. But at least you’ll be
With the person who is most attracted to you.

Your Soul’s Greatest Potential

Sep4

Everyone’s got gifts to give. We each are unique
In what we have to offer. Your sense of meaning
Is your inner compass which means that when you feel
Meaning in your life you can then live it with zeal.
Your potential is greatest when you are leaning
In your soul’s direction. It’s alignment you seek.

As meaning empties from your life you’re moving in
The opposite direction. Everything goes wrong
In your life. You start creating destructively
But with Authentic Power you’re able to be
More in touch with your meaning. You’re where you belong
When you absolve yourself of all your fear-based sin.

When you feel negative emotion be aware
That you can simply feel it and not react to
The cause of the injustice. While feeling the pain
You can act in love. This may sound weak and insane
But with practice you’ll find that good will come to you
In that you’ll be around those whose feelings you share.

You’re unique. You have gifts to give. What keeps you from
Giving them? It is fear. Don’t let others tell you
That you can’t do something. They’re not coming from love
But from fear. It’s not possible to get rid of
The ill feeling instantly but what you can do
Is observe and not contribute to the outcome.

What Will Happen When We Die?

Sep2

The soul is the essential nature of us all.
It’s the deeper mind. It’s the part of us that goes
On existing after the physical body
Is no longer a part of it. Naturally
We become able to know what our spirit knows
And what our spirit knows can’t be considered small.

God exists in each one of us. Every atom
And subatomic particle of everything
Is a part of God’s consciousness. We are distilled
From that essence. As such, our dreams can be fulfilled.
God’s nature is way beyond our understanding.
It is where everything in existence comes from.

The highest energy that we can imagine
Doesn’t come close to describing God. We have no
Words or concepts to do the job adequately.
Yet we’ve learned to experience divinity
Through spiritual practice. We are here to grow.
There’s no time like this moment for us to begin.

When we die we don’t die. It’s a misconception.
Yes, the body dies but the soul is eternal.
It will be on the other side then it will come
Back to earth. Remember that all being comes from
That which we know as spirit. We are supernal.
When we end this adventure another’s begun.

Advice From The Seat Of The Soul

Aug31

A soul stirring and insightful exploration
Of human consciousness is The Seat Of The Soul.
The transformative journey of spiritual
Awakening is happening. Everything shall
Be awakened to spirit. As we become whole
As a species we take part in our creation.

There’s a difference between external power
And the kind that’s internal. The former one seeks
To control and to dominate. The other kind
Arises from the heart that is truly aligned
With the soul’s purpose. So when that part of you speaks
Pay attention. Allow it to bloom and flower.

Every choice that one makes creates consequences
That reverberate throughout lifetimes. Be aware
Of your intentions and actions. Transformation
Through spiritual growth means that you harm no one.
You must treat your mindset with the utmost of care.
Restitution must be made for past offenses.

Intuition can be your spiritual guide.
It allows people to access higher wisdom
And to navigate life with purpose, clarity,
And focus. You can live your life passionately
With compassion and love as you’re beating the drum
Of your soul’s purpose. With it you must be allied.

Soul To Soul

Aug28

What’s the soul? It’s that part of you that existed
Before you were born and that will exist after
You have died. It’s the highest most noble part of
Yourself that you can reach for. It is of pure love.
The almighty is known as the master crafter
Of all souls and it is all done unassisted.

Unlike things in this earth school the soul has no weight
Or volume. These are characteristics of this
Dimension of time, space, matter, duality,
And amnesia. The nature of reality
Is something that the physical body will miss
Unless it can be in a meditative state.

All souls have the capacity to be great souls
And our job while we’re here on earth is to align
Our personalities with our souls. We do that
By intention. It’s worth taking a good look at
That part of ourselves which is in essence divine.
We can all make it one of our primary goals.

Many levels upon levels upon levels
Of compassion and wisdom beyond our knowing
Has the universe which is sacred and holy.
Reverence for life, loving, sharing, harmony,
And cooperation are all overflowing
In the one who in every circumstance revels.

How To Heal A Broken Heart

Aug27

We’ve heard the idea that time heals everything.
Yet if your leg was broken would you just let time
Heal it? Treat your heart with the same level of care
That you would your leg otherwise to your heart there
May be danger. The height of emotional crime
Only rises so onto your heart you will cling.

The danger is that your heart having been broken
Will heal a little too closed, a bit crooked, and
A little too easily bruised if only time
Were the healer. The outcome that would be sublime
Is a parting of ways where you both understand
Why it happened and your hearts have truly spoken.

There’s a movement afoot in the therapeutic
Community. It has to do with Prolonged Grief
Disorder – a chronic heightened state of mourning.
Post-Traumatic Growth is now what is happening.
From your heartache you can find a lasting relief.
It may be the only thing that will do the trick.

We’re all at risk of having this experience.
The loss of a loving relationship is one
Of the hardest things to go through. It can break your
Spirit as well as your heart but know that the cure
Is your heartache. It helps in your transformation
Into someone who loves again with confidence.

Spiritual Growth Requires Relationships

Aug27

The substance of your interactions with others
Forms the basis of your spiritual growth. You
Need relationships that will help you to become
More emotionally evolved. When you come from
A place of love you have no problem getting through
Difficulties as your own life story occurs.

As you interact with others you activate
Loving and frightened parts of them. They do the same
To your loving and frightened parts. Between the two
You must distinguish and it will benefit you
To choose consciously. You have but yourself to blame
For relinquishing power and not thinking straight.

When you consciously choose love while you’re feeling fear
That’s creating authentic power. It may be
Difficult in the beginning but with practice
You will be in a perpetual state of bliss
And the angry part of your personality
Will diminish and in a short time disappear.

The part of you that’s grateful, appreciative,
Content, caring, and patient is who you want to
Give attention to. Relationships are the key
To spiritual growth and living happily.
People benefit greatly from this part of you
And for you this can be the only way to live.

Healing With The Masters

Aug26

I am a universal human in training.
I’m one who’s beyond nation, religion, culture,
Sex, and economic circumstance. I give my
Allegiance to life firstly and secondly I
Am a citizen of the earth. Safe and secure
I am in who I am. I need no explaining.

Of the universe I’m also a citizen –
Not a child of it. This is authentic power.
I’m living a life where my personality
Is aligned with my soul’s purpose. In harmony
I am with nature which is obliged to shower
Me with its blessings. It happens now and again.

It’s a life in which I naturally create
Reverence for life, sharing, cooperation,
And harmony. I know that my fear is a part
Of the person that still nurtures a broken heart
Over deeds in the past that I wish were not done.
On the present and future I shall concentrate.

As I begin to recognize the different
Parts of myself I can cultivate the parts that
Come from love. There’s an intimate relationship
Between my choices and what happens. It’s a trip
To be conscious. I have not a foe to combat.
There’s no trick at all to my remaining content.

Addiction And Spiritual Growth

Aug24

There’s no logical reason for me to have turned
Out this way. My upbringing was loving and kind
Yet I have an addiction. I have to admit
To myself that I have no intention to quit
Because in it there’s some semblance of peace of mind.
About life and my living it I’m unconcerned.

What’s the reason I do it? To cover the pain
Of my feeling inadequate to be around
Other people. I feel that I’m not capable
Of loving. I perceive that I’m unlovable.
There are no redeeming qualities to be found
In this sorry self. My whole life I’ve lived in vain.

Well, that’s it in a nutshell. I could say that I
Lost my job or a loved one but deep down inside
I feel ugly and socially not up to par.
I am powerless over conditions that are
Of myself too revealing. I have much to hide.
I don’t want you to know me. Please don’t ask me why.

Powerlessness becomes me. I fear that I will
Be discovered. I don’t want to have anything
To do with anyone. Kindly leave me alone
As I fade into the unwelcoming unknown.
Each of us is addicted to our wellbeing
Ultimately. It’s everyone’s wish to fulfill.

The Instrument To Heal Is The Soul

Aug24

The soul is the instrument that needs to be healed.
But what is the soul? Let us walk up to the door
Of the soul and knock gently. Who answers may be
One of wisdom or ignorance. If you can see
Past your sorrows you’re able to tolerate more
Of life’s contrast wherein your power is revealed.

Think of someone you truly hate and can’t forgive
For the harm they have done you. Now what if they said,
“What a bummer. I’m sorry. I never meant to
Do you harm. Let’s just call it a day.”? How would you
Feel about it? Would negative thoughts fill your head
And your heart? Can this be the way you’d want to live?

Now let’s change the story a bit. What if this one
That you hate so much came up to you and said, “I
Really screwed up and I did it all consciously.
I knew that it would hurt you. That didn’t stop me
From behaving improperly. I don’t know why
I committed this act. I hate what I have done.”?

Each scenario knocks on the door to the soul.
But which one does the healing? And which causes pain
To resurface. Both victim and victimizer
Can experience healing. Which is the wiser
Choice to make? Which way can net spiritual gain?
In each moment you can play the enlightened role.

Healing A Shattered Soul

Aug23

About three out of four souls are just beginning
Our adventure through humanhood. One out of four
Is a very advanced soul which means most of us
Are spiritual toddlers. There’s much to discuss
Regarding who humanity is at its core.
We’re a prize to our own selves that we’re worth winning.

The advanced souls have lived many lives here over
Many eons. Some don’t even have to return
To this earth but they do out of loving kindness.
As teachers it is love that they’re here to express.
All the rest of us have many lessons to learn.
Our eventual evolution will occur.

Human souls become shattered when they disconnect
From the source of their being. When we operate
Out of hatred or fear individually
Or as one whole collective, the truth we can’t see.
As we let our behavior determine our fate
Love remains not the option that we would select.

First, the soul must be recognized, then we become
More aware of its presence. The soul is a part
Of the whole of existence and it can be healed
By a method that only to you is revealed.
Are we able to know and perceive from the heart?
It’s the place where every kind of healing comes from.

Every Relationship

Aug22

What if I’m strong and confident most of the time?
As a woman I have a hard time letting go
Of my nature when I’m in a relationship.
Past failures are the cause of my current guilt trip.
If I have to give up something how will I grow
As a person? Can I find a union sublime?

It would be such a blessing to find someone who
Can find value in the way I happen to be.
What I want is to not have to change or let go
Of some characteristics of mine. I don’t know
If I could trust myself with someone completely.
I need some kind of guidance on just what to do.

Trust yourself to be able to handle what you
Don’t control. Sometimes you make the right decision
And sometimes you have to make the decision right.
There will be days of darkness but most will be bright.
All will go as you wish if you can envision
Everything about your biggest dream coming true.

You trust other people to the extent that you
Trust yourself to be able to handle the flaws
Of others. You attract what you’re feeling inside.
Be aware of how you feel because it’s your guide
To fulfillment so you need not worry because
You have taken on a positive point of view.

What Happens When We Die?

Aug22

We arrive with amnesia about what is real.
All of physical matter is an illusion
On a scale so immense that it boggles the mind
Made of matter. Within the illusion we find
Not a way that we can come to the conclusion
That this physical world cannot be the real deal.

All that exists is spirit. Imagine being
Not of substance yet conscious and fully aware
Of yourself as a spirit. Would you not want to
Sink yourself into something that would put you through
A process of relearning? Nothing can compare
To an out of the spirit world way of seeing.

What Happens When We Die? We return to where we
All came from. We become like children once again.
Our loved ones and our closest friends are waiting there
For our coming to be with them. Fully aware
They are of what we’re doing. They celebrate when
We arrive back in spirit. It’s the place to be.

We must choose between the violence of adults and
The smiles of children – between the ugliness of
Hate and the will to oppose it. We become strong
On our journey as we determine right from wrong.
Through the process we learn what we can about love.
Things of spirit are not that hard to understand.

The Power Of Intention

Aug21

Nothing happens on this earth without intention.
Not one single thing has ever be accomplished
Without intention. Intention is everything.
Using it properly, it cannot help but bring
About what you want. Everything you ever wished
For can be had simply by focused attention.

Spirituality is about relieving
The pain and suffering of others. You’re aligned
With your purpose when you feel extremely lucky
To be a part of this human community.
Your intention may be that all of humankind
Be a lot more truthful and much less deceiving.

You intended to be here in this time and space.
Everything happening in this moment is your
Single manifestation. It’s all within you.
You’re the consciousness that makes my existence true.
Your intention, now stronger than ever before,
Is a virtual magnet for infinite grace.

Do enjoy what your doing and don’t even care
If it’s meaningful to anyone else but you
Because you’re all that matters. Intend to be free
To be the creative master you’re meant to be.
Be aware of the healing in all that you do.
You have done much already so take comfort there.

Grief

Aug19

It’s been years now but it still seems like yesterday.
Sometimes I feel his presence. I want to believe
That his soul lives on and that I can contact him
Yet the light in my soul has become weak and dim
So the messages from him I cannot receive.
That I can come to some resolution I pray.

As I feel him right now I know that everyone
Who’s aware of my sorrow is also aware
Of his presence. Is my knowing reality?
Is my sorrow getting the better part of me?
I know better. There’s no use in my going there.
I’ll enter the abyss of darkest emotion.

Everyone has multi-sensory perception.
It’s not only about everything we can see,
Hear, taste, touch, and smell. We perceive in many ways
Besides those. It’s good that my consciousness obeys
What is in essence spirit. In tune I can be
With that world. I am feeling now what has begun.

I don’t want to diminish the power and scope
Of the presence who came into form for a while
To be with me. The soul is a great deal more than
The finite personality. Indeed it can
Guide me out of depression and put back the smile
That I once had. I’m always receptive to hope.

Invisible Friends

Aug17

I have friends who aren’t visible. Does that make me
An odd person perhaps because only children
Are allowed such a pleasure? Am I of ill mind
To believe that there are spirit beings assigned
To my life? Do these questions deserve an amen?
Does it matter that my friends are out of body?

These playmates of mine enrich my life immensely.
They’ve a great sense of humor and they take delight
When I take my life not so damned seriously.
They remind me of who I came to earth to be.
They alert me when everything isn’t alright.
These beings some consider imaginary.

“What’s my work while I’m here on earth?,” often I ask
And I’m told, “Being Human.” I get to define
What that is for myself. My personality
Is a tool and the most minuscule part of me.
I learn much from these invisible friends of mine.
Personality, they remind me, is a mask.

About death I have asked them every now and then.
They say it’s absolutely safe. It’s like taking
Off a tight shoe. Now how would they know such a thing?
It’s because they were human and they’re offering
What they can out of kindness. The wisdom they bring
To my life gives me comfort again and again.

This Is Who You Really Are

Aug17

There’s something quite extraordinary going on
Here and many don’t even know what it could be
Nor what it’s all about yet it is happening
All the time every moment. It’s interesting
That people ignore this happening completely.
That their minds are set is the conclusion foregone.

It is Life that is happening. There’s a process
Being undertaken in life by life, and that
Is hugely paradoxical. It’s as if we
Are creating God from the inside out. We see
Evidence that is worth taking a good look at.
Life surrounds us in all the ways it can express.

Life exists in all of its forms and the beauty
Of the night sky, the wonders of nature, or the
Expression of humanity are all part of
All that is and the basis of living is love.
It’s the ultimate act, one of divine glory
Because within everyone yourself you can see.

You take part in it in a brand new way when you
Understand what is happening. Then you become
More aware and on purpose. Intentionally
You will act and you’ll know what it’s like to be free
Of uncertainty concerning where you come from.
You are the miracle that in God’s dream came true.

Treasure Your Intuition

Aug15

Intuition is a fascinating thing for
Most people because they don’t know what it is and
How it works. It’s because of their five sensory
Approach to it that they are not able to see
What it truly is. It’s not hard to understand
Their position. It’s something that one can explore.

Scientists can’t explain it and psychology
Doesn’t even consider it. It’s main concern
Is with how we perceive and how we think and feel.
The notion of intuition has no appeal
To the person of logic. What we can all learn
Is how to use intuition naturally.

Intuition simply put is the voice of the
World that is purely nonphysical. We are more
Than molecular structures. We each have a soul
And through it intuition can make us feel whole
In a world that seems lost more than ever before.
We have all yet to become multi-sensory.

You know that your life is meaningful and that you
Have gifts to give and you long to know what they are
And to give them because in the giving you feel
Your potential. You can live a life that’s ideal.
Your developed intuition will take you far
On your path of fulfillment in all that you do.

I Am That

Aug11

What’s the purpose of living? It’s to recreate
Ourselves anew in each moment and the greatest
Version of you becomes your most perfect ideal.
“Who Am I?” The question has the definite feel
Of a yearning. A call for knowing is expressed
From the pit of the soul. The answer you await.

Who among us has not looked up at the night sky
At some point in our lives and asked, “Wow! What is this?”
What’s my relationship to it all? Who am I?”
We can spend a great deal of time wondering why
Things are the way they are. We just cannot dismiss
Our inquiries no matter how hard we may try.

“I Am that I Am,” saith the Lord. But is there
Someone who can tell me exactly what that means?
It’s one heck of a statement. If I understood
What it meant certainly it would do me some good
But right now it reminds me of Twilight Zone scenes
That I watched as a child. They gave me quite a scare.

But the fear is in my heart. I can understand
That if I simply see everything as a part
Of myself and all things a part of the grand whole
Of all that exists, it brings relief to my soul.
I Am That I Am, really. From deep in my heart
I Am everything from the minute to the grand.

Definition Of The Soul

Aug9

The soul isn’t a mythical entity. It
Is a powerful, purposeful essence. It’s at
The very center of who you are, but don’t think
That you are its entirety. You are but a link
In a huge chain reaction. It’s good to know that.
To its will we must all ultimately submit.

Your soul is enormous. It existed before
You were born and it will exist after you die.
But the you who is reading this and I who write
Are but our personalities. All our insight,
Intuition, and cognition will go bye-bye,
But the soul will remain conscious forevermore.

Every fleet has a mother ship – one ship that knows
Where all of them are going, and it sets the course
And direction for all ships. Life on one ship might
Be unpleasant but on another it’s alright
Yet the mother ship remains a powerful force
In the lives of all ships and their human cargoes.

A magnificent city afloat is the soul
And you’re one of the little boats. Storms may occur
But the mother ship knows why we’re all out at sea.
To stay in line with it is our reason to be.
You’re a ship with free will to do what you prefer.
Follow your inner meaning. It will make you whole.

Love Is The Basis Of All

Aug9

I watched a documentary featuring bears.
Mother bear and her baby were taking honey
From a hive. The bees paid no attention to them.
Could it be that the bees had no will to condemn
The bears maybe because the bees had quite plenty
Not minding that the hungry bears took what was theirs?

As the bears lapped up honey they got honey all
Over themselves, so mama bear started licking
Baby bear. Then I wondered if the mother bear
Loved her baby or the honey. Did the bear care
More about one than the other? Is nitpicking
The issue really worth it? Are these questions small?

Last night I had a dream about these bears and me.
In it I was that baby bear. I felt profound
Love for me from my mother. I experienced
Nothing like this. This natural love she dispensed
Echoes throughout the universe and it’s unbound.
It’s how everything in existence came to be.

Sometimes I don’t allow the love in because I
Have chosen to take in all the terrible news
Then I think that love isn’t the powerful force
It’s made out to be. This is fallacious of course.
In each moment I have the wherewithal to choose
Love over fear and hatred. Love I can’t deny.

Mindfulness Thoughts

Aug8

Mind is the forerunner of all things. Out of mind
Are created the many things that we believe
Are important. All human made things start as thoughts.
Often times though the mind may get tied up in knots
As you live your life. What you most want to achieve
Is a balance where with your nature you’re aligned.

When you sit quietly and pay close attention
To your breathing, a river of thought enters in.
The mind secretes thoughts the way the salivary
Glands secret saliva, but don’t let them carry
Any weight. Just keep breathing and you will begin
To lose thought and enter another dimension.

If you could hear the thoughts of someone next to you,
You would get away quickly. You’d think they were ill
In the psyche, but everyone’s experience
Is the same. Mental chatter gets really intense
Normally. It’s like a puppy that can’t sit still.
Yet you seldom think of anything that is new.

It’s like you’re stuck in a motel room late at night.
You can’t sleep so the TV becomes a plaything
But you can’t change the channel. So old thoughts remain
In you mind. It may feel like you’re going insane.
Mindfulness though is capable of offering
Lasting peace and a heck of a lot more insight.

A Tale Of Two Wolves

Aug6

In my heart there are two wolves. They live together
But in conflict. One wolf is loving, generous,
Truthful, peaceful, and compassionate. The other
Is fearful and deceitful. It is, as it were,
Quite the opposite, and what we’re here to discuss
Is which one wins as the issues of life occur.

Which wolf gets more attention? Which one do I feed?
If it’s the loving wolf does it mean I deny
The mean wolf or get rid of it? That would only
Cause a long drawn out battle and hostility
Would be seen in my attitude. So this is why
It’s much better to not do what I have no need.

What I can do is calmly give my attention
To the angry wolf and let go of believing
That it has anything of value to offer.
If I can do that then what will have to occur
Is a long lasting peace. What I’d be achieving
Is a balance way beyond my comprehension.

Restful or chaotic, enjoyable or not…
Experiences may come and go but I can
Get accustomed to mindfulness. It can help me
To take care of my loving wolf and finally
Be relieved of the mean wolf’s malevolent plan.
That I keep my wolves separate matters a lot.

What Really Heals?

Aug5

There’s a kind of mysterious healing of the
Cords between and among us that soothes our fears and
Terrors and actually lets us become seen
And perhaps known. So what healing really does mean
Is projecting wellbeing. One takes full command
Of the gift of positive healing energy.

Connection to the world and a kind of freedom
In the quest for the healing we’re invited to.
On the one hand there are tools to quiet the mind
And to open the heart. On the other we find
Tools for dealing with trauma. They both have to do
With compassion. It’s where much of healing comes from.

Mindfulness, compassion, and awareness can be
Used to help release conflict with ourselves and the
World around us. What Really Heals is connection
With the ill person. They become our reflection
Of wellbeing and pure positive energy.
We can feel where they’re coming from most honestly.

Different ways there are for us to recognize
The patterns that we hold that create suffering.
They’re at our avail. Understanding and insight
On your part still may not make everything alright
But it will put you in touch with what’s happening
In their world and to see everything through their eyes.

A Message To The World

Aug4

All this talk about aliens… What does it all mean?
Many UFO sightings have been reported
In the past few months. Why is this now happening
On the planet? Conspiracies are a big thing
To the ones who need answers amid distorted
Incomplete information. It’s rather obscene.

Some say they’re now among us. Someone you may know
May have had contact with one, or maybe we are
Foreigners to this planet and they are the ones
Who are taking it back. They probably have tons
Of ways of doing that, yet they haven’t so far.
If they were ready, they’d have done it long ago.

What Is Truth? It’s something considered to be real
And there’s such a huge deficit of it today.
If we have enough courage to face the truth in
Our lives, we will meet our fears and we will begin
To live righteously. The message they would convey
To the world is to honor truth as an ideal.

It’s easy to believe in gurus, teachers, and
Our elected officials. If we analyze
What we consider truth, we may find out that it
Isn’t truth and it can’t be to our benefit
To believe it. Our loving alien would advise
Giving up on whatever you can’t understand.

Who You Really Are

Aug4

Do you know Who You Really Are? You’re a machine
With a spirit created by God. You’re the light
That shines through you. Both essences are intertwined
In a way that whatever comes into your mind
Will become manifested. You don’t have to fight
For the process to work and results to be seen.

In this world there are no victims, villains, or those
Who cast shadows upon you. That’s an illusion
Of the ego. There’s no one doing things to you.
It makes sense to take the logical point of view.
You choose what you’ve created and all that you’ve done
You own up to. You can know what your spirit knows.

When you can say, “I did this,” you find the power
To change things for the better. And in so doing
Tremendous satisfaction is what you will feel.
All in good timing the universe will reveal
Exactly the best path you should be pursuing.
Be open to having wonderful things occur.

Seek then to create change not because something’s wrong
But because it no longer makes an accurate
Statement of who you are now. As soon as today
You can change your life circumstance in a big way.
Go ahead with the life you were meant to create.
Get accustomed to living your life like a song.

Before I Sleep

Jul31

If I were hungry I wouldn’t tell you because
The whole world and everything within it is mine.
The cattle of a thousand hills are mine as well.
It would seem that there’s no reason for me to tell
Anyone of my troubles. I’m doing just fine.
The angels are delighted. I hear their applause.

For the most part this day has turned out as it should.
I thank God and the universe and I believe
That tomorrow I’ll be happier than today.
That I wake up to my true self is what I pray.
I would love to remain in the mood to receive
Heaven’s blessings, and heaven knows for me what’s good.

There’s nothing in particular I’m asking for.
I just want a good night sleep. I have no concern
That I wish to have carried into tomorrow
Lest I reactivate some forgotten sorrow.
From heaven I came down and to there I return
With each segment of slumber even if I snore.

I am not the object nor its shadow. What I
Truly am is the light of the world and I can
Change the object and therefore cast a new shadow
On the earth. In so doing I’m able to grow.
I only wish that tomorrow is better than
Today is – this damned hot final day of July.

The Power Of Love

Jul31

When you’re in a bad mood you’re sort of in a bad
Mood about everything, and the reverse is true.
When you’re in a good mood everything is alright.
Things that irritate you or that make you uptight
Don’t phase you when you’re happy, and the more that you
Focus on being happy, the less you’ll feel sad.

Much more than most people realize, everything
Blends together. At the same time we love and hate.
The mix of emotions cancels each other out.
So focus is important. There can be no doubt
That a much better society we create
As we stop and take notice of what’s happening.

When you’re newly in love everything starts turning
Up roses because now you’re focused on something
That allows for your energy to start flowing.
Everything in your life will be easy going,
And complex circumstances begin improving.
You want to show the world how you can dance and sing.

Many people have gone from sick to being well.
People have gone from poor to rich all because of
Their having fallen in love. We need distraction
From our normal thoughts, then our points of attraction
Are enlivened because of The Power Of Love.
At the art of loving we’re destined to excel.
