Observing Versus Creating

“I respond to my environment therefore I
Need to have control of it although I cannot.”
It’s the greatest dilemma known to humankind.
Unless conditions are right we simply can’t find
Satisfaction. Your giving it all that you’ve got
Doesn’t get it no matter how hard you may try.

By observing things then responding to them you
Give up much of your power to feel as you should
In any situation whether it’s pleasing
Or disgusting. The only thing that’s worth seizing
Is contentment in each moment. Your feeling good
Is your primary focus in all that you do.

Don’t attempt the impossible. Don’t say that you
Would feel better under a certain condition.
You put yourself in a very difficult place.
There’s an alternate mindset that you can embrace.
Be prepared for the ultimate acquisition
Of wellbeing and all your wishes coming true.

Instead of observing ‘what is’ try conjuring
An image and letting ‘what is’ respond to it.
Feeling good is the purpose of this exercise
And in time there’s no doubt that you will realize
Much improvement. All it takes is just a small bit
Of accepting that you can create anything.

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.

Whether Anything Changes

Feb8

It’s the greatest dilemma that deliberate
Creators have to deal with. Do I respond to
My environment? Do I try to control it?
Or can I by sheer practice get some benefit
From achieving a good thought? Perhaps it is true
That a better environment I can create.

I can’t control the environment, but I can
Change the way that I’m feeling in any moment.
I want to establish a vibration that will
Penetrate what exists here and now to fulfill
My wishes. I believe in my conscious intent.
I don’t need to struggle with some asinine plan.

If I say I want something, I have to believe
That it’s possible, otherwise it will not come.
Conjuring up an image of what I desire
And then focusing on it until I’m on fire
Is the fine beating of a magnificent drum.
I must be in alignment with what I conceive.

Whether Anything Changes or not, I can be
Feeling better than ever. When I find a piece
Of contentment, I know that I’ll be given more
And more of the moments that are worth waiting for.
Then things will change and resistance to it will cease.
I am glad that I have made the choice to be free.

Write It Down And It Will Happen

Jul28

Is it possible that if you write something down,
Being not too specific, that things will happen
That will match what you wrote down with vivid detail?
Your dream boat, as it’s written, is soon to set sail.
This particular form of magic happens when
Nothing enters the story that will make you frown.

There’s a wonderful story I would like to share.
After reading the book, ‘Ask And It Is Given,’
And doing the processes, one young lady got
A call from a temp agency, she got a shot
At a gig filing papers. This was an amen
And a wonderful answer to her written prayer.

A famous movie star she was doing work for
She was a big fan of his and worked gleefully.
She was also quite a film buff so she enjoyed
Filing movie clips. She was happily employed.
A ‘real job’ he then offered her. Nothing could be
More exciting. Her attitude opened the door.

She is now head of his charity foundation.
She gives out tons of money and has lots of fun
With the interesting people in her domain.
Although she is fulfilled there is much more to gain.
Can this tale be of benefit to anyone?
Whether it can or not, I’ll consider this done.

Things Will Change

Jan10

Happiness is a simple choice. Hard it may be
To let go of the need to control everything.
The greatest dilemma to befall humankind
Is demanding that conditions be well defined
Before some satisfaction does efforting bring.
It’s not by desperation that one becomes free.

Can I be happy in this moment anyway
Without something pleasing outside me to occur?
I can’t control conditions. They’re impossible.
There must be some solution. I remain hopeful
That a positive change, one that I’d most prefer,
Can happen from within me. I pray that it may.

There are only two choices. My environment
I can respond to, then try to manhandle it
Into humble submission. Or I can create
A vibration of happiness to orchestrate
The environment I want. It’s best I commit
To the feeling of living in full enjoyment.

Conjuring up an image is how to begin
To get my circumstances to respond in kind
To the image created. The changes will come
If I can stop the habit of beating the drum
Of unworthy crusades. I can leave them behind.
Nothing will change outside until there’s change within.

Can One’s Mindset Be Changed?

Oct5

“What’s the psyche of those who…?” One fills in the blank
With the offense committed. Our identities
Set us ones against others. How can this be changed?
It will go on forever because we’re deranged
In that we’re a strange animal wanting to seize
Absoluteness of sovereignty distant to rank.

What’s the mind of the suicide bomber? Who knows
But the dead then crossed over and without the choice?
Humans must fight for what they truly believe in.
Animals protect boundaries. We may begin
To look hard at the future and try to rejoice
Yet we’re still just as animals, history shows.

When my space becomes threatened, I may have to kill
But I’d rather not do it, hence the paradox
Of the human condition. Beliefs that we own
Interfere with our instincts. That’s why we are prone
To such gut wrenching hatred. Our own growth it blocks.
Any nationalism means blood has to spill.

Can we come to the wisdom to end enmity?
If there’s no room in our souls for that to take place,
Then it will translate naturally to bloodshed.
We must kill off the enemy and move ahead
Which is why some think we can’t survive as a race.
It’s always been a struggle. We’ll just have to see.
