Mysticism

May17

In The Cards

The awareness of ultimate reality
Is what’s called mysticism. It can be attained
Through subjective experience. Direct union
With spiritual truth is achieved by the one
Whose devotion to enlightenment is maintained.
One knows God as absolute non-duality.

It’s also positive human transformation
Supported by spiritual practices and
Experiences. It was originally
A part of medieval Christianity,
But in modern times the term has come to expand
And include all those seeking illumination.

All religions and spiritual traditions
Have their mystics – the ones who’ve learned to go within
To find truth and reality. They’ve transcended
Established belief systems. They’re interested
Only in liberation. They are without sin.
They’ve dissolved the need to take any positions.

Spiritual awareness of the absolute
Is beyond all theology. Concepts and names
Are exclusive. One cannot label the supreme.
It alone has the ability to redeem
Us of our ego consciousness. The mystic aims
To make their mysticism a constant pursuit.

Tell A New Story

Oct24

Close The Old Book

Change my thoughts about money and life as a whole?
Is that hard to do? It depends on the story
I’ve been telling to myself and others I know.
For all that I have done, what do I have to show?
This question doesn’t lead me to any glory.
It will cause my thoughts to spin way out of control.

What then is the solution? I know that money
Is as available as the air I take in
And breathe out. I like thinking about the freedom
That it gives me. I know that the money will come
In good time as soon as I decide to begin
Focusing only on the place I want to be.

I can imagine a lot of money flowing
Into my life experience. I can see how
My feeling about money affects how much comes.
If I want it to flow in uncountable sums
I must Tell A New Story and learn to allow
The abundance that this world to me is showing.

I do get the essence of what I think about.
I can tell by the way I’m feeling whether I
Am focused on money or the gross lack of it.
Positive thoughts about money I must transmit
To the universe. I know that it will comply
With my best wishes. Of this I have not a doubt.

Meditative Intentions

Feb6

Purposful Focus

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.
