Source Offers You A Signal

You know that you’ve a strong and wise inner guidance
However sometimes you’re afraid that you may not
Be translating it properly yet you know that
Your reception of guidance is doomed to fall flat
If you think you’re not getting a hell of a lot.
How can you get your head around this circumstance?

Make your statements about what you want to create –
Not about what you’re fearful of. Then you will be
In the state of allowing what you want to come.
Negative statements you want to stay away from.
Your inner guidance speaks to you rather loudly.
Nothing about your life happens to you by fate.

There’s a wise Source within you who knows everything
You’ve been wanting since day one and even before.
It knows where you are now and how to get you to
Where you want to be so it’s important for you
To tune into its signal. You need not do more
Than be happy. Do whatever makes your heart sing.

It’s about preparation. Put some space between
Your asking and your hearing what Source has to say.
You’ll get inspiration and impulses to act
In such ways that you’re much more able to attract
What you’re looking for. It will come to you by way
Of your working on keeping your vibration clean.

Have A Talk With Your Cells

Feb7

It’s an inaccurate assumption that the brain
Is the center of all thinking ability.
It’s not just the brain that transmits and receives thought.
Every cell of the body does this but we’re caught
In the mindset that the mind controls the body.
It’s a concept that you wouldn’t want to maintain.

If you don’t make decisions about what you want
Then the cells of your body receive influence
And direction from whatever mass consciousness
Is speaking. If they’re hearing nothing but distress
Then they’ll feel bad. You know that this makes common sense
Yet the propensity is to be nonchalant.

After climbing a mountain the body may be
In the morning sore and stiff from the exercise.
Speak this way to your body before the next climb,
“Listen up, cells. Indeed I’ve decided that I’m
Up for climbing this mountain. I pray that you guys
Get the perfect amount of blood and energy.”

“Tomorrow when I wake up I want to feel fine
And well rested.” When you speak to your cells this way
They respond positively. You can override
Old beliefs. Remember that you get to decide
How you feel. In the best of health you want to stay.
You are meant to be healthy by nature’s design.

Tell It The Way You Want It Told

Nov13

What you’re living is only a temporary,
In the moment indicator of what you are
Offering by vibration. Your feeling creates
A magnetic transmission. Your positive states
Bring about blessings that border on the bizarre,
Yet, this moment, as all, at some point, cease to be.

Tell a different story than the one that you
Were provided by others because it does not
Measure up to the real you, nor does it suffice
As one which includes things that you consider nice.
You are authorized by God to write your own plot.
You’re the star, the director, and the staging crew.

The old story contains things that are best to lose.
When you’re beating the drum of, “I don’t have enough,”
Then you draw others like you and give power to
The notion of not having. What you’re free to do
Is to tell the new story where life isn’t tough.
The best thing about it all is you get to choose.

Listen to the call of your source, and follow through
With the impulse to do something and change the way
You approach life and others. Your story can be
One in which everything works out successfully.
We are all acting with other forces at play.
Be open to what is more refreshing and new.

Being In Nature

Oct25

“Seek out a quiet place in the forest,” said he
Who was called the Buddha thousands of years ago.
He practiced meditation, and that’s what he taught.
He was available to anyone who sought
Spiritual enlightenment. He was also
Big on nature. He loved it most passionately.

In nature, there is ‘stillness’ that’s different from
That which is artificial and caused by the lack
Of the clamor incessant. This kind one can hear.
When you listen to nature with an acute ear,
The stillness is apparent. You peek through a crack
In eternity. Magnificent insights come.

Nature teaches connection. It has much to do
With the way we develop spiritually.
Nature relaxes as well as energizes.
When alone or with others it crystalizes
Consciousness into oneness. It’s easy to be
Just oneself without pretense. God bless the guru!

Refrain as much as possible from thinking while
You’re in nature. Just be the awareness behind
Your acute sense perceptions. Be fully at one
With all that you experience. You have begun
To connect to the heart and detach from the mind.
Nothing in the woods can put a cramp in your style.

Be The Change

Aug27

The darkness may be part of an intricate plan
To keep hell alive on earth. The world and its ways
Are atrocious, heartbreaking, and doomed to despair.
Yet, there is a great number of people who care
About life on this planet. Do we give them praise?
Or do we criticize people who say, “I Can!”?

What can you contribute that would do any good?
Don’t listen to the voice that says, “It’s just no use.
I’d be wasting my time, effort, and energy.
Too far out of control this world happens to be.”
Nothing but indolence will this thinking produce.
The still small voice within you can be understood.

All of us have some work to do while we are here.
Everyone has a purpose. Offering something
Of yourself to the problem can make your life whole.
Life can work through and use you. Let it take control.
Be the change that you want. Let the universe bring
You impulses and guidance. Your purpose is clear.

How will you serve the world? What does it need that your
Special talent can offer? The effect that you
Have on others can be the most valuable
Currency that there is. Do be ever grateful
To be the instrument of change. All that you do
Is from love or fear. Which one is of more splendor?

Dealing With A Controlling Spouse

Aug4

Following a long illness he decided to
Retire early. His spouse became the caretaker.
Which he appreciated, but lately she’s been
Obsessive about it. He does not like it when
She controls his activity. He would prefer
Less attention paid to him. What should the man do?

She believes she is doing the right thing, of course.
She refuses to listen to what others say.
Corrective meditation does him little good.
It is difficult when things are not understood
By them both, and they just cannot go on this way.
If continued it could even lead to divorce.

It was a good co-creative attraction in
That he needed some caretaking, and she was there
To provide it profusely. He doesn’t care for
What he’s attracted and cannot take any more
Of what he now considers her abusive care.
Communication is the best place to begin.

He could have some fun with this and make it a game,
Using words carefully so as not to offend.
“I needed some caretaking. You’re magnificent!
But I didn’t need meddling or constant torment.
You’re an awesome controller, but I am your friend.”
Understanding is needed or things stay the same.

The Sieves Of Judgement

Jan29

“There is someone among us who is unworthy,”
Said a young man to the old and wise Socrates.
“A disreputable person he is clearly.
When I tell you what he is doing you will see
That our group cannot tolerate folk such as these.
I’ve told you. You can take measures necessary.”

“Before I will do anything you must tell me
If what you say is true. Did you see it first hand?
Or is it only something that you overheard?”
Socrates asked the man who had only one word
Which was ‘No.’ “Then the sieve of truth it cannot stand,”
Said the wise one. “You may have to let this one be.”

“Will you tell me of something good or positive
About this man, or are you here to tell me things
About him that are nasty? If it’s the latter
Then it is best for you to ignore the matter.
The sieve of goodness cancels out your utterings.
Go about your own business and let the man live.”

“What are you so excited about anyway?
Is it that necessary to come to tell me
Of this thing most upsetting?” The man bowed in shame
And retracted his story which now seemed quite lame.
Before dispensing gossip will it pass freely
Through the three sieves of judgement? Take care what you say.
