Spiritual Liberation

Liberation

Liberation is the act of being freed from
Slavery or oppression or imprisonment.
It occurs when someone is released, rescued, or
One escapes from confinement. It’s an open door
To the freedom to live life to full enjoyment.
It’s amazing what a freed person can become.

Spiritual liberation clearly implies
That within this world one’s consciousness is confused,
Trapped, lost, stuck, and in bondage. The highest purpose
In life is to free ourselves of illusion, thus
One who seeks liberation is likely enthused
About doing whatever will make one more wise.

The concept of liberation sought, known, and taught
By spiritual masters throughout history
Has to do with salvation, redemption, and more
Terms like it. One’s enlightenment is at the core
Of intention. One wants to be totally free
Of the traps in which one always seems to get caught.

Freedom from the bonds of illusion, ignorance,
Separation, and duality is the goal
Of spiritual practice. Unconditional
Love, service, and compassion are the general
Fruits of freedom. The shattered self can be made whole
No matter what happens to be the circumstance.

Daydreams Coming True

My Music And I

Is daydreaming a good way of calibrating
To my true self? I dreamt of association
With a music star, so I entered a contest
For musicians, thinking that I might be the best.
I felt that I was in the right situation
Where I very well could end up celebrating.

I did not make the cut. I was devastated
And heartbroken. I wanted this thing so badly
That I cried for a brief while. I was that upset.
Having entered that contest, I felt deep regret.
It appears I was not on the right track, sadly.
My daydreaming was then hopelessly frustrated.

Then a good friend invited me to a party.
Gladly I went, and I took my guitar along
Because he usually will ask me to play.
The change in my vibration made for a good day.
I was positive that nothing there could go wrong.
I made it my intent to be resistance free.

When I got to the party, a rock star was there
Who was famous. I played and then afterwards he
Complimented me. We developed a rapport
That was warm, productive, entertaining, and more.
My daydreaming this time has worked out well for me.
I look forward to many fine stories to share.
