Everything That You Want Is Downstream

Imagine taking your canoe down to the edge
Of a fast-moving river. You get in and then
You begin paddling deliberately upstream.
Why on earth would you do that, though? It doesn’t seem
Like a healthy idea. Again and again,
People do it as if they’ve made a solemn pledge.

People do it because everybody does it.
We don’t want be lazy, and we have been trained
To believe that hard work and struggle are to be
Seen as virtuous qualities. Society
Is upstream oriented as if it’s ingrained
In our psyche. It can be of no benefit.

There’s nothing that you want that’s upstream anyway.
The rewards for a difficult life can’t be worth
Feeling absolute pleasure in every moment.
People learn how to get by with their discontent.
When it gets to be too much, then they’re giving birth
To a change in direction and a brand new day.

Everything that you want is downstream. Everything
That makes up the stream is what you’ve been putting there
Through your wanting a better life. Inspiration
Comes to you, and it helps you in getting things done.
Just let go of the oars and become more aware
Of your worthiness and your passion for living.

Enjoying Life’s Contrast

Mar7

As my day unfolds, I’m going to do my best
To find my path of least resistance, and it will
Be a fine day. I look forward to the contrast
That life offers. I’ve stopped looking into the past
For fulfillment. This present moment is a thrill
To behold. In it, eternity is expressed.

I can tell by the way I feel what influence
I’m under. I’m either under that of my Source,
Or that of something other, like society,
Or my mother, or anyone who wants to be
In control of me somehow. And this is, of course,
Something I allow, but at enormous expense.

There are times when I’m not in a very good place.
They are plenty in number. I’ll just stop and say,
“Well, that’s perfectly logical,” then leave it there.
Above all, it’s about how I feel that I care.
I’ll pivot from that thought and get on with my day.
It’s my own inner being who I must embrace.

I get over things quickly. I don’t explain how
I got into a bad place. That only will make
Things a lot worse. I can’t get the answer until
I stop asking the question. I know that it will
Manifest as an impulse which I will then take
As a sure sign that I have learned how to allow.

Calibrate To Wellbeing

Mar6

My foundation does not start with this body or
With my parents or anything. It is the whole
Of who I am. With eagerness I came into
This contrast and variety. My life is new
And exciting. I have no particular goal.
Everything about this world I came to explore.

A thought that thrills me is one worth my pursuing,
And one that disappoints me is one that is not.
There’s no way I can feel unworthy of the bliss.
My feelings are my guidance. I’m glad I know this.
What I’m thinking and feeling does matter a lot.
I find fulfillment in whatever I’m doing.

I do not want to behave ‘appropriately’
By accepting the notion that life is supposed
To be hard and that suffering is a virtue.
Pardon me, world, but that is not my point of view.
‘Socialized’ people have hearts and minds that are closed
To the idea of living resistance free.

It’s easy to calibrate to ‘what is,’ but it
Takes a master to calibrate to what is not
Yet apparent. It does take determination,
Focus, and clarity. I am here to have fun.
I try to remember what most people forgot.
Everything I learn must be to my benefit.

Stop Trying To Change Others

Mar3

In this world there are only two groups. There are those
Who are, in this moment, under the influence
Of who they truly are. There are also those who
Are fueled by something else which has nothing to do
With their natural goodness. There’s the existence
Of extreme maladjustment that harms as it shows.

There are groups calibrated to Source Energy
At any given moment. The ones that are not
Can’t be changed in terms of their feelings and ideals.
Antisocial action by such people reveals
That their sense of themselves is tied into a knot.
They know that they’re not being who they meant to be.

Uniqueness is a blessing, and diversity
And expansion is natural to existence.
If you spend your time trying to figure out why
People are the way they are, you’re destined to die
With your life unfulfilled. It is with great expense
That you consider hatred as reality.

It’s just too much to sort out. The way people feel,
Think, and see things should not be of any concern
To your creative process. Be and let things be.
Happiness, when it’s chosen, will set yourself free.
There is not much about love that you need to learn.
Happy moments are those wherein you get to heal.

Stop Focusing On The Wrong Things

Feb23

How do I keep myself in a place where I’m not
Focusing always on the manifestation?
It gets tricky. I give up on closing the gap
Between me and my wishes. I’m caught in a trap
Of my own making. There must be some solution
To the issue. Indeed I am in a tough spot.

“I’ll go forth. I’ll define. I’ll align and receive,
Then experience the awesome deliciousness
Of watching it come together. I’ll mold the clay
With my mind and with pleasure throughout every day.”
This promise you made to yourself is nothing less
Than your purpose for living. This you must believe.

The eternal unfolding of your life means that
You cannot get it wrong because it’s never done.
You can have a wonderful life experience
Moment by moment. Complaining makes little sense.
You’ve put much into your Vortex of Creation.
You can pull from it as if from a magic hat.

You are guided through the path of least resistance
When you are open to it. You came to create
From the contrast life offers. Release the burden
With its tentacles in your now so you can then
Find something easier on which to concentrate.
Things work out for the better if given the chance.

Absolute Freedom

Feb21

On your right path you can never be other than,
But there is the human tendency to try to
Find an answer in someone else. Your clarity
Comes from your inner being. You are meant to be
Independently and consciously sifting through
Life’s contrast. You are doing what no one else can.

You are born with the innate knowledge that it should
Be a pleasure to be alive. Every moment
Is a growing experience, but after time
You forget due to others who commit the crime
Of informing you of their extreme discontent.
If you speak about joy, you are misunderstood.

You become more comparative. Your interest
Is in how you appear to other folks instead
Of how it feels to you. Your intentions erode.
The momentum toward your desires is slowed.
You’ve no enthusiasm for what lies ahead.
Nothing more than what is now do you manifest.

With a basic triad of intentions you came.
Freedom, growth, and joy they are, and your expansion
Is inevitable. Look within for balance.
You can feel happiness in any circumstance.
You cannot get it wrong because it’s never done.
The freedom of your childhood you now can reclaim.

The Emotional Choice

Feb2

You could think about many different subjects,
But let it be emotional. Thinking too much
Complicates your achieving what you most desire.
The more significant thing that you will acquire
Is complete understanding that you’ve become such
An astute manifester in many aspects.

The Emotional Choice is an energy one.
You can be as miserable or as happy
As you choose in the moment. Your choices are two:
To feel better or worse. So, the thing you can do,
If momentum has gathered, to get yourself free
Is to forget about it and go have some fun.

The imperfect manifestation is the one
Which can lead to perfection or more improvement.
The contrast that life offers is the beginning
Of insight and direction toward a winning
Solution. You do not have to get all hellbent
On perfection. Your fine work would then be undone.

The pipeline of creation is fueled by what you
Are about here and now. It’s about attraction –
Not assertion, compulsion, or struggling your way
Toward something. There’s no price that you have to pay
But your joy and the feeling of satisfaction.
Speak your thoughts of alignment and watch them come true.

The Reality Of Vibration

Jan24

Everything in existence is of vibration.
Various schools of physics tell us this is so.
Is there any significance? What does it mean?
It does favor those whose psychic senses are keen.
We’re all made of vibration. The more that we know
Of ourselves, the more we’re part of the solution.

When you’re standing in your now, not really happy
With where you are, and then justifying how you
Got where you are by explaining it to all those
Who will listen, this activity greatly slows
The process of receiving what to you is due.
It is best to steer clear of negativity.

There’s a reality that you’ve been defining,
Explaining, documenting, and talking about.
It means didly compared to the reality
That consists of vibration. It’s actually
The realness that precedes realness. There is no doubt
That within every cloud, there’s a silver lining.

Want, with everything that you are, to understand
And feel your way into this vibrational state.
The describing of your current reality
You can stop long enough so that maybe you’ll see
That complaining about life won’t facilitate
Happiness nor your own consciousness to expand.

Timing Is None Of Your Business

Jan22

Things are always in the process of becoming.
Is it possible, then, for the timing to be
Just a bit off on something you know to be right?
Yes, of course, but your calling it ‘wrong timing’ might
Introduce resistance that’s unnecessary.
Thoughts of time very quickly become mind numbing.

Timing Is None Of Your Business, and here is why.
Throughout life you’ve put many things in your Vortex
Of Creation. Each one of them matters to you,
And each one of them has the ability to
Interact with each other. You are the apex
Of a pyramid that is exceedingly high.

Your wants become cooperative components
With each other as if they have minds of their own.
Everything in your Vortex is then perfectly
Lined up for you, so you have no reason to be
Up in arms about timing. You are not alone
In your quest for creating a life of suspense.

You may try to get in there and move things around,
But your effort is futile. You need to step back
And observe what is happening. Satisfaction
Is your reason for living, and you are the one
To evolve and get over your feelings of lack.
In contentment there is much power to be found.

Your Most Productive Work

Jan17

We speak from the realm of spirit, and our advice
As to what to be in the moment to really
Be an uplifter to the core of your being
Is to be with yourself the one most agreeing.
Be an advocate for yourself and you will be
Inundated with situations that are nice.

Your constant attention in the preparation
And the maintenance of your vibration is most
Important because it is about reception
Which means tuning, so before any work is done,
In your dream you must be absolutely engrossed.
It is the beginning of your destination.

Allowing the wellbeing means selectively
Sifting through life to come up with a better plan.
Most of your work is done now. Relax and receive.
More than anything else, we want you to believe
In yourselves, and believe that you are much more than
You can know from where you are. So much you don’t see.

Be nice to yourself. Rest well. Eat well and get out
Among others who are fun. Think thoughts that uplift.
Without even needing to know what you’re doing,
You are in the receptive mode. Stop pursuing
Any longer your treasure, for you are the gift.
Sharing love for oneself is what life’s all about.

Perfect Timing

Jan12

Things exist and they move about. As we perceive
Things existing and moving, time is created.
It is perfect because it came from the big bang.
From that one event everything that we know sprang.
To the concept of time we are dedicated.
To think otherwise is to be daftly naïve.

Nothing asserts itself. It’s about attraction.
I prepare the environment for unwanted
Situations to become my reality
Through my practice, then, what I don’t want comes to be.
Only by insecurity am I haunted.
What is the proper way to get what I want done?

Sometimes things seem to force their way into being.
That is never the case. I attract them to me,
Although I may not be aware of doing it.
Being more conscious would be to my benefit.
As I clean up my vibration, I am set free
To explore more alternative ways of seeing.

Things occur not in response to words or actions
But through vibration. Perfect Timing is the way
Of the universe, and I have enough control
Over when, where, and how things will happen. My goal
Is to sync with the Timing. It can be child’s play.
I’m fully prepared for upcoming attractions.

Manifest How You Feel

Dec28

What is manifestation? Is it the new car,
Or the big raise in salary? Is it romance,
Or a fun-filled vacation? The way that you feel
Is a manifestation. Your feelings are real
And important. You can, in any circumstance,
Be a kind, loving person. This is who you are.

Your life unfolding is a manifestation.
And in rapid succession as moments go by,
You create in each one of them how much of you
Is getting through to others. If you’re feeling blue,
There’s not much of you present. You may wonder why
You feel trapped in an unworthy situation.

You have constant personal control over the
Manifestation of your moment. Stop looking
To the future. You have not enough clarity
Or power. Your concern keeps you from being free
To be the chef who knows what the hell is cooking
In your own kitchen. Right Now is where you should be.

Just be present in this moment and be aware
Of the manifestation that’s happening now.
You then adjust your vibration accordingly.
The good feelings that you have are the primary
Creations of your moments because they allow
You control of all of the things for which you care.

Start Asking Differently

Dec27

Asking moments happen in two circumstances.
One is with some resistance; the other, with none.
It’s your focus upon what you have or have not
That determines if you are to struggle a lot
Or to bask in the wisdom that you are someone
Who, when asking, is not prone to taking chances.

When you ask from a place of knowing it will come,
Then your asking is energized. The universe
Gathers all the cooperative components
In the background. When your emotion is intense,
Then the provident forces at play must disburse
Blessings to you. It is where all good things come from.

Ask, and it is given, but there’s a tug of war
Between wanting and believing in your own dream.
The universe expands in the moment you ask.
You are meant go grow with it. Your primary task
Is to stay optimistic and let the supreme
Entity bring to you what you want and much more.

When you ask but don’t follow your soul’s expansion,
Then life sucks, and you start feeling ineffective.
Ignore that. Start asking in a different way.
Things will start manifesting with little delay.
Benefit from asking from a new perspective.
Ask as if what you’ve asked for is already done.

Control Your Mind

Dec15

By controlling your feelings, you focus your mind
In a way that allows things to come easily.
But it works both ways. It doesn’t matter if you
Are feeling ecstatic or if you’re feeling blue.
Good or bad things will manifest accordingly.
Is the Law of Attraction considered unkind?

It’s your best friend. It brings you how you are feeling.
It shows you so that you can make better choices.
When you feel badly, it gives you more of the same.
If you waste time looking for someone else to blame,
Then what flood through the mind are negative voices
Which may then require a process of self-healing.

Why do you want what you want? Pay attention to
The answer that comes to you. Begin practicing
The vibration of having it, and it will come.
Do not burden your mind with where it will come from.
Ask yourself what it feels like, and pretend being
Satisfied in the having of it come to you.

How does the vibration of security feel?
Does it feel like homecoming and empowerment?
Ask yourself these questions often, and feel your way
To alignment with your wishes. Do not fall prey
To the mindset prevailing. Your time is well spent
Contemplating what you have deemed to be ideal.

Fast Energy

Dec10

Things can move a lot faster if I want them to.
I have known what I’ve wanted for quite a long time.
The divine and the universe know this as well.
By the way that I’m feeling within I can tell
How much of a mountain I have chosen to climb.
There are no exercises that I need to do.

This world is about physics. I evaluate
My progress by how well I can move things around
Either by force or intellect. How can this be
Beneficial? The mundaneness of life, to me,
Is a circus where no fulfillment can be found.
It stifles my ambition and will to create.

Having boots on and slogging through two feet of snow
Is what it’s like here on earth. Its slow energy
Is distressing, but I can make it go faster.
One does not have to go visit a Zen master
To become enlightened. One can get that for free
From within, yet the process is still rather slow.

With the energy that creates worlds I connect.
Focusing in a way that my normal thoughts stop
Is done through meditation or being engrossed
In something that I love doing. I get the most
Satisfaction from writing. Though it ain’t hip hop,
It’s a thing I’m hell bent on trying to perfect.

Gratitude Makes It Happen

Dec6

I enjoy being called upon to do something
Wonderful and exciting. It gives me the chance
To show off my magnificent abilities.
I am grateful that I can perform with such ease.
Everyone gets a kick out of my song and dance.
To the table I have but my best self to bring.

I don’t need the condition to get this feeling
Of fulfillment. Others are not necessary
For me to be about life truly excited.
All alone I can be perfectly delighted.
It is as if the whole world revolves around me.
I know how to reach a state that is appealing.

It is counterintuitive to me right now,
But it won’t be for long. The more effort offered,
The more I hold myself in the wrong vibration.
In this way I can hardly get anything done.
I’ll become a spiritually conscious nerd
So that infinite wisdom I’ll learn to allow.

For this life I am grateful. It’s an emotion
I can feel without trying if I really care
About joy in my living. My acknowledging
The good things about life and appreciating
Everything I consider a sacred prayer.
Gratitude is something to give much devotion.

Control Every Manifestation

Dec1

What is manifestation? You know it to be
Something brought into being through conscious intent
Or through unconsciously creating without care.
As your life is unfolding, you are more aware
That you are manifesting in every moment.
You can be present in each one successfully.

Money, people, places, and the perfect lover
Are all manifestations. The way that you feel
Is also your creation, as well as how you
Play with others. In fact, everything that you do
Is a manifestation. All that is made real
In your life is of your doing, you’ll discover.

Be aware of the creation happening now,
And then adjust your vibration accordingly.
You’re not looking long term where you have not enough
Power, answers, or clarity. Don’t make life rough
By pretending to be who you weren’t meant to be.
All that comes to you is by how much you allow.

The most important manifestation of all
Is a good feeling moment, and you have control
Over that. Know that you’re the creator of you
And you life as it happens. Each moment is new
And one in which you can manifest from your soul.
Manifest happiness in a big way or small.

You Are Offered A Signal

Nov27

Strong and wise is my guidance system. This I know
Without question, but sometimes I feel that I may
Not be listening or translating properly
What it tells me. My fear and intent don’t agree.
The appearance is that I don’t know how to pray.
I know that this mindset is why progress is slow.

More statements of what I want is indicated,
And less of what I don’t want. I want to be sure
That I can hear the messages coming to me
From the provident, infinite forces that be.
It’s important that my own vibration be pure.
Only then will I get what is long awaited.

I can let the hearing be a separate thing
From the wanting and tuning. From my perspective
Of not having, I will not see things manifest.
How I feel in the having of it, if expressed
To the universe, is extremely effective
In the spiritual process of attracting.

The more walks that I take in places that feel good,
The more I will hear. Moments of preparation
Are those such as laughing, dancing, and playing more.
I can never go wrong doing things I adore.
Only when I am in a state of elation
Can I ditch the odd habit of knocking on wood.

Your Bubble Of Wellbeing

Nov26

When you get out ahead of things, then you’re not so
Unbalanced on the bleeding edge where every thought
Is a life saving matter. Each must be precise.
If it’s not then you are sure to pay a high price.
You would much rather be in control than be caught
In a space where there is much that you cannot know.

You are not being challenged by the universe.
It is not a contest of wits. It is response
To vibrational output. To live by default
Is a crapshoot. Your losing will be the result.
There can be no benefit from your nonchalance.
When you act accidentally, things will get worse.

You may think there’s a challenger. There can be none
But your doubt and split energy which can become
Detrimental to your staying in alignment.
By the day’s end, you may feel extreme discontent.
You know very well where your fulfillment comes from,
And it has everything to do with attraction.

“I’m in love with life. I love the interaction
That I have with others. I feel stable and sure.”
Isolating such feelings, you then will create
You Bubble Of Wellbeing. You don’t have to wait
To achieve satisfaction. You will be secure
In a space that attracts only things that are fun.

A Powerful Asking

Nov24

The convergence of all that you are is aware
Of the life you are living. Your willingness to
Come and play in this physical reality
Is appreciated by the powers that be.
Your body, as a tool, is most useful to you.
Quick response do you get from your intimate prayer.

In your life, there are wonderful things going on.
There is so much awareness. Rockets of desire
Are shot off to the universe which then provides
Opportunities. You are the one who decides
What it is of this world that you want to acquire.
If you answer your own question, all doubt is gone.

Your asking is powerful. Your understanding
Of the Laws of Attraction help you on your way
Toward living as you wish. Here is where you are,
And where you want to be cannot be very far
As long as you remember there’s no price to pay
For the pleasure of watching your world expanding.

Take it easy. Don’t get in anybody’s face.
Here you are where you’d planned to be to co-create
In this earthly arena. Life happens right now.
More blessings will come to you the more you allow
Yourself to be committed to just feeling great.
Answers come through your access to infinite grace.

How To Win All The Time

Nov11

When you are on a winning streak, life is a breeze.
Letting go of resistance and expectation
Are the elements needed to get there from here.
Let nothing negative in nature interfere
With your focus. For you, it’s all about the run,
And the running is done with impeccable ease.

Your expectancy is of enormous power.
When you expect something, it happens. This is fact.
Know that you’ll have a positive experience,
And then have it! This would seem to make common sense,
But it doesn’t reflect the way most people act.
Upon you, universal good graces shower.

Remember a great experience you once had.
How you felt then is how you are feeling right now.
Parlay this positive experience into
Something more by recalling the good that you do
For the whole world in general. Then you allow
That feeling to become you, then you will be glad.

When you remember anything you activate
It’s vibration. In this way it is magnetized
So that other thoughts like it begin to occur
That will bring about feelings that you most prefer.
The potential for winning is now realized.
The secret to it happening is feeling great.

The Best Is Yet To Come

Nov6

Your job is to feel as good as you possibly
Can feel and be as happy as anyone could.
You have the wind of divinity at your back.
You’ve defined where you want it to go. Keeping track
Of the moments of wonder feels just as it should.
You have now got a handle on prosperity.

But you have seen nothing like what is before you.
You’re on the verge of deliberate alignment,
Which means that more specifics begin happening.
Your clarity and eagerness for life will bring
You the blessings. They come by your conscious intent
To stay positive in everything that you do.

Your appreciation for others will improve,
And the management of the Law of Attraction
Now has palpable meaning. The crevasse between
Clarity and confusion is easily seen
So that you are aware of what needs to be done.
You are reminded of this with your every move.

You’re a world citizen with a unique worldview
Who most singularly has the ability
To access unseen powers that do worlds create.
There’s no looking back now that you have reached that state
Of complete alignment with all that you can be.
The path of least resistance is made clear for you.

The Creative Process

Nov4

Creation happens always. There is not a rest
To be taken. It maintains its cyclic process
Constantly. The first thing that is meant to occur
Is your thinking and asking for what you prefer
Of the universe. It will provide nothing less
Than complete satisfaction that’s fully expressed.

What happens then is that the universe collects
Cooperative components to yield to you
Through the path of least resistance what you desire.
Entities unknown to us convene and conspire
To support your intentions. All you need to do
Is feel good in its happening in all respects.

Through appreciation and through meditation
You can reach that state where you’re able to receive
Inspiration that guides you. In your bag of tricks
Are the tools that are needed in order to fix
Resistant momentum. It is when you achieve
Contentment with you’re here and now you become one.

Trying to make things happen will happen much less
When you’re in alignment with who you really are.
If you are entertained by the things that you do
Then the blessings of the universe come to you.
Be content in the knowing that you can’t stray far
From the path that will lead to pleasure in success.

The Ripple And The Ocean

Nov2

The question is whether at this moment you can
Know or sense within yourself that underlying
Presence that is deeper than the person you are.
Elusive and intangible, it can be far
From easy to discern. It is mind defying.
It has concerned people since before time began.

It is all pervasive. It is your own presence
That cannot be sensed if you are trapped in your thought.
“Where’s this ‘presence’?” I’m trying to find it but can’t.”
It’s of no use to go on a negative rant.
There’s a simple way of getting to what is sought.
What exists below your surface is quite immense.

When the mind is quieted for just a short while,
At first, it seems like nothing, It’s rather boring
Of a space for too damned long. But gradually,
You will find peace in that emptiness. You will see
That there is much more to you worth not ignoring.
The mind always wants to run the one minute mile.

The ripple is the thinking mind. It is akin
To the turbulent surface. The rebel ego
Can observe its connectedness with the divine
And the Ocean. You’re able to fully align
With that self most unnamable. It is the flow
Of life essence. The universe is found within.

Things Fall Into Place

Oct31

All the time manifestations happen to you.
Whether it’s a relationship, money, or things,
Like a new car or bigger house, you are aware
Of the feeling of wanting it. You must take care
That your feelings are positive. How you feel brings
Things to you much more quickly than all that you do.

The word manifestation in the truest sense
Is this moment in time. It is the junction where
The focus of you and of who you really are
Is converging. It means you are not very far
From receiving. About your feelings you must care.
Against negative feelings be on the defense.

Every detail of your life is manifested.
The alarm clock, the person behind the counter,
And the place where you live are manifestations.
Those that are driven by passion are the best ones.
You can always find a thought that you would prefer.
In your own wellbeing you must be invested.

Your emotional response to your heart’s desire
Guides you to it… or from it. You are in control
Of your own guidance system. You can’t separate
The manifestation from the feeling. Your state
Of alignment with yourself is the only goal.
From this present moment, the next is made higher.

Don’t Worry

Oct27

I just let life come at me, and then I respond
So that when I want something, the way that I feel
Is quite positive. But the opposite is true
About things that I don’t want. Not much I can do
Under this circumstance. My self-structured ordeal
I wish could be banished with a kind magic wand.

Do I really have any control over my
Own experience? Something tells me that I should
Have as much because I’m the creator of me.
I can have it the way that I want it to be.
I am well on my way, when this is understood,
To a life of fulfillment with no need to try.

There’s a deeper part of me that knows very well
What I’m thinking and wishing. It’s fully aware
Of where I am and where I would most like to be,
And it has staked a vibrational claim on me.
About past sins and failures… It will not go there.
If I go against it, I experience hell.

The vibrational driver’s seat I can be in.
The path of nonresistance, for me, is the one
To be focused on. There is no need to worry.
As I stumble upon it deliberately,
A new setpoint of understanding has begun.
I can run a fine race without having to win.

The Pipeline Of Creation

Oct20

Often manifestations that are not perfect
Will keep people from manifesting those that are.
The contrast in the not perfect one is the start
Of improvement. My insanity breaks my heart.
I can’t doubt my own writing. What I’ve done thus far
Seems not worth all the effort. What should I expect?

I expect folks to look at my work and comment.
Is that too much to ask of someone unworthy
Of attention? For me this is good exercise
Although it will probably lead to my demise
If I keep fucking with what people think of me.
Cluelessness about life at my age I lament.

What I want is specific. I want to belong.
Satisfaction with pissing alone in the breeze
I can’t muster for much longer. Something must change
For the better. My writing is not all that strange
To real people. I suffer from mental disease.
Many choices that I’ve made in life have been wrong.

Can I write myself out of this deadly routine
And decide to be happy in my world alone?
To the very few people who do visit here
I am thankful and hopeful the message is clear.
The biggest fear that I have is being unknown
And unnoticed. I must practice mental hygiene.

Have no fear of upsetting me if you believe
In your heart that what I do is mediocre.
Can you do it much better? I must ask in pride.
Some folks will think I’m lousy. I’ll take that in stride.
Life can be as simple as a game of poker.
There’s no limit to what anyone can achieve.

Believe In Yourself

Oct9

Find something that you love to do. Make it something
That you do every day. Be completely obsessed
With this thing that you do. What you do from your heart
Brings you pleasure and makes of your life a fine art.
Use your imagination, and give life your best.
Someone will find the work you do interesting.

Set small goals, then achieve them. Get ready for more
Things you want to accomplish. Put pen to paper,
And declare your intentions. You find your freedom
In choosing whatever. As it gains momentum
You become a better reality shaper.
This will make you much more confident than before.

Grow a deep belief in yourself. Play the long game.
You don’t have to be the chosen one. Build resolve
In your spirit in order to reach the plateaus.
When it feels like your spirit is in the shadows
Keep on going. It’s how your spirit will evolve.
Be persistent and constantly adjust your aim.

As children, we’re told this word’s the way it must be,
And our lives are inside it. We try not to bash
Into walls too much and to remain satisfied
With the status quo. We also get to decide
How much of it worthy and how much is trash.
It may take decades for us to finally see.

Break The Cycle

Oct6

The more things that are asked for the more you are called
By your inner self to move in the direction
Of your wishes. You also become more aware
Of things in the way that you don’t want to be there.
The resistance life offers is by selection.
When it is minimized you will be more enthralled.

You’re connected to your inner being always.
You feel much satisfaction when the link is strong.
When it’s weak, you feel hopeless. You are in control
Of the thoughts and emotions that can make you whole.
In that place of alignment is where you belong.
Sensitive you are to what your true self conveys.

You can stay off the subject that’s not letting you
Be receptive to inspiration and guidance.
Close the gap between your true self and your ego.
Break the evil spell that is not letting you grow.
You achieve your contentment not by happenstance.
Your dissatisfaction with life you can get through.

“Isn’t that a beautiful tree? And isn’t that
A beautiful bird? This meal is so delicious.
Isn’t this a nice day? Look at that butterfly!”
This winning attitude makes the spirit soar high.
Take notice of the things you’re willing to discuss.
It is okay to be okay with where you’re at.

Eliminate Impurity

Sep12

Diamonds are forever. We all know that it’s true,
And we’re made of stardust. It’s a natural fact.
What are the signs that your mind is effectively
Engaging with your daily life? What you may see
Is a pattern in the way you think and react
To your world and its issues. The diamond is you.

In the rough you may be now, and that is okay.
Blemishes only mean that you’re also human.
Is the sky ever affected by the dark clouds?
A mindset that is rigid most surely enshrouds
The pure light of your truest self. Know that you can
Shine as brightly as you want and have things your way.

Even in a ditch the diamond still gets to shine.
Light enhances its beauty, and your constant care
Keeps its brilliance unfettered by what is not true
To yourself because dullness is not part of you.
You are worthy in your own right. Do No Compare
Yourself with others, then everything will be fine.

The truest part of you cannot be distorted.
Your self-centered ways can be removed consciously.
Your emotions and thoughts can cause you certain stress.
They can also bring you ultimate happiness.
You can be, if you want, completely blemish free.
By the universe you’re totally supported.

Get Ready!

Aug27

Life Is Now! It’s not when you reach your final goal.
An occasional cruise it is not, nor is it
Just a simple vacation. It’s every moment
That you have to be you and totally present.
It is not once you’re retired that you benefit
From the good things in life that will render you whole.

Who you are and what you’re about is your focus
But your inner being has an interest too.
It’s appreciating where you are and is proud
Of your progress in life and that you have allowed
It to guide you along the path that’s true for you,
And your readiness is helpful to all of us.

Only wonderful things occur past heaven’s gates.
In this physical world they can be realized
Because this world creates them through people’s desires.
To experience heaven on earth it requires
That your feeling your best only be emphasized.
When asking is powerful, the answer awaits.

Get Ready for the next moment, then the next one…
And the next… Life’s a series of single pieces
Of creative existence. If you can maintain
Your intent to be happy, you’ve so much to gain.
The more you allow, the more your joy increases.
Happily ever after is how life is done.

A Wrinkle In Time

Aug20

Do away with your vision boards. You don’t need them!
You do not have to physically write things down
When you know how to do it vibrationally.
You can manifest ever so powerfully.
You know that you cannot attract much with a frown.
Attitude is a part of your winning system.

You have conjured this moment from all that you know
And have known since the very beginning of you.
Things you want to accomplish still trigger your soul.
Let your joy in the journey be your only goal.
There are many exciting thing you want to do,
And the contrast in doing them helps you to grow.

Mix it up. Things don’t always have to be the same.
Life’s full of variety. Meet the vibration
Of you dream not above it and not below it.
You can’t want it so much that you cannot commit
To the process, or you may have little to none
Of a want to pursue it. Desire you don’t claim.

It’s the womb that’s the place where the light enters you.
With a spiritual vulnerability
That allows you to be at peace without knowing
What will happen next, in this way you are growing
Into the person who you always longed to be.
When you’re broken open then the light can shine through.

Magic Words

Aug18

Why do we define ourselves through language of lack
When we’ve come to be so much of who we now are?
It’s because we’ve trained ourselves to see with our eyes
Rather than feeling our way. Indeed it is wise
Not to think our way through it. We may stray too far
From the target. What can we do to keep on track?

Find a good feeling and then let the thoughts follow.
It’s quite easy to do this. It’s also soothing.
We do this by saying everything is alright.
“I am fine. All is well, and my future is bright.
Positive energy surrounds me. Everything
That I do is exciting. I go with the flow.”

Do not get too specific. Just stay general
So as not to get hung up in all the detail.
The specifics are handled by the universe.
It’s most important that you commit to immerse
Yourself in your self-soothing. In this you can’t fail.
Get yourself to believing that you’re that special.

You can’t argue for your limitations and be
Anywhere close to happy. With yourself make peace.
Make it alright where you are. The things that you say
To yourself subconsciously all throughout your day
Lead you to the place of spiritual release.
Say nice things about yourself, and do it with glee.

No One Needs Your Convincing

Aug18

Do you want to ‘heal’ someone who you think is ill?
Where to start with them is not to look for what’s wrong
Nor to try to convey to them your sacred ways.
You do not want to inadvertently abrase
Someone’s feelings. Your position cannot be strong
When your attitude precludes any social skill.

It matters not so much what the healer may say
It’s all in how you feel about what you’re saying
That addresses the issue for better or worse.
If you want to be helpful let the universe
Guide you through guiding someone who is displaying
Symptoms of misalignment and utter dismay.

It’s not your job to try to convince anyone
Of what you think they should know. At fault they are not.
We each have an inner being who lets us know,
When we are conscious of it, which way we should go.
In the long run this information helps a lot.
One helps best when there’s no collateral harm done.

When you’re turned on, your timing is especially
Good. You will catch people at just the right moment
To communicate with them. Your power to ‘heal’
Is in your belief that their sickness isn’t real.
When you know things are alright the ‘healing’ event
Is assured. It’s a spiritual guarantee.

The Magician’s Control

Aug16

It’s a strangeness of contrast. This world that we know
Only half way may cause us a heap of concern
For survival and existential sanity.
Density of the mist causes us not to see
The dark forces. Sometimes we’re able to discern
Benefit in the contrast and go with the flow.

What we manifest in life – the physical things
Like the house and the car – can only come to be
Through our focused and positive conscious intent.
Long term goals are a problem. Stay in this moment
Where you have absolute control. You’re completely
Free to manifest universal offerings.

Manifestations are not only physical.
The emotions we feel are examples of such.
The people that we meet and the way that they play
Or do not, and the way you feel throughout your day
Are all manifestations. When we know this much
We are then connected with the spiritual.

Just be in the present moment and be aware
Of the manifestations that are happening
Now and adjust your vibration accordingly.
The most important manifestation must be
How you feel in each moment so that everything
You control. It’s completely a feeling affair.

Wake Up Happy

Jul28

One eliminates false starts by being prepared
With the intention of having an awesome day.
While asleep you were in the non-resistant mode.
Now awake, you’re a clean slate. You’ve released the load
That existed before sleeping, and you can stay
In that space. By you it need only be declared.

It’s another day on planet earth. This is why
It’s a great day. No other reason needs to be.
You have no idea what’s going to happen.
Feeling good once can certainly happen again.
Do not carry anything forward that really
With your spiritual program cannot comply.

Break the conventional patterns holding you back
From becoming the person you are deep inside.
Social structures and mannerisms are a toll
On your creative energy. You become whole
Only when your true self is not being denied.
You can know that you’re totally free from attack.

Let the subconscious programming that you create
Redirect you to the place where you want to be.
There’s a moment while you are playing the program
Where you will ask yourself if your work’s worth a damn.
In that moment there’s power because you are free
To choose whether or not to remain in that state.

Be Nice To Yourself

Jul27

You can be an uplifter if you’re uplifted
In the moment and to the core of your being.
What advice can be given to become this way?
Start selectively sifting and learning to play
With your vibrational atmosphere and seeing
Yourself as someone special and hugely gifted.

Your best focus, or work, or constant attention
Is to be advocating your best influence.
As you’re being receptive you are allowing
Universal forces to bring the wellbeing
And a wonderfully rich life experience.
Be yourself, but be happy, and have lots of fun.

Rest and eat well. Get out where beautiful things are.
Play with people who are fun. Think thoughts that feel good.
Watch movies that are uplifting, and stay away
From the patterns that may cause your mood to decay.
Life can be fascinating when it’s understood
That you are worthy. In you’re drama, you’re the star.

Just Be Nice To Yourself. For yourself advocate.
Pick your favorite whatever on the planet
And pretend that you are it, and treat yourself as
You would treat that. Do trust that the universe has
Everything taken care of. Your biggest asset
Is that you have control over what you create.

Vocation

Jul25

What you do in life chooses you. You don’t choose it
But you can reject it and do something safer.
At some point, when you create yourself to succeed,
You will either drop that creation and be freed
To explore who you really are, or you’ll concur
With how others see you for their own benefit.

You do not exist. We’re all playing characters
To help us interact well with one another.
I’m the flickering light and the dancing shadow –
Nothing masquerading as something folks can know
By its name so that the performance can occur.
Anyway, it’s the way society prefers.

Do not kill who you really are for something fake.
Energy depletion will occur if you do.
Inauthentic personalities to maintain
So that you fit in well is a definite drain
On your life force. It is best that you remain true
To your mission. You’ll less likely make a mistake.

You can join the game, fight the wars, and play with form
All you want, but to find real peace you must let go
Of the armor. Your need for acceptance makes you
Quite invisible in this world. Your light shines through
The temple of your body. Let your spirit grow
By not following the practices of the norm.

What Happens After Death?

Jul2

There’s so much that is unknown about existence.
We are here but a brief while in this consciousness
That we know as daily living reality.
We know that our physical eyes aren’t meant to see
All there is to be seen. We do not have access
To the state we all came from. It makes little sense.

We who are called survivors are steeped in mourning
For the one who’s now missing from this dimension.
We have lost all connection for all that we know.
There is no way that we can express our sorrow
At its deepest. The only thing that can be done
Is to get back into the business of living.

The one who has departed does experience
Something absolutely wonderful compared to
What is here and what we feel and what they did feel.
The release from the heaviness they see as real.
It’s a dream they’ve awoken from. Their broader view
Is what we living miss here. It still makes no sense.

But from there they experience a life review
Where they feel everything they’ve done to everyone.
Once that’s finished they’re welcomed into a new world
Where all of their potential is freely unfurled.
We survivors see this not as a solution.
It remains a most difficult time to go through.

Change Your Life

Jun27

Disconnect from your busy world. Shut off your phone.
Power down your computer. Turn off the TV.
Sit your body down for a while, and close your eyes.
This is done regularly by people most wise.
Take a break from the routine so that you can be
Properly replenished. You must spend time alone.

Take some deep breaths and center yourself in right now.
Put you attention into the present moment.
You will have more energy with which to create.
After doing this little bit you will feel great.
When the mind wanders, as it will, do not lament.
Just return to the now. By now, you should know how.

Ask yourself, “Can I be defined by a vision
Of the future instead of perverse memories?
What do I want in my life?” Answer truthfully.
Your are changing brain patterns most assuredly.
Decide on which emotions you would gladly seize
For your life moving forward into the long run.

Rehearse in your mind who you are going to be
When you open your eyes after meditation
Or when first waking up. What choices will you make?
You will be better focused while you are awake.
More efficiently you will be getting things done.
Keep this up and your life will change noticeably.

Why It’s Not Coming Faster

Jun15

How do I get the money out of the vortex
And into the bank where it can be of some use?
How do I meet the soul mated love of my dreams
In her absence? I don’t understand why it seems
That I’m stuck because I’m not able to produce
What I want. The issue is mundane and complex.

I have to not need to have it right before me
So that I can see, hear, taste, smell, touch, and behold
It in its actuality. I must accept
The vibrational version which is always kept
In spiritual escrow. How good things unfold
Is by tuning my vibration accordingly.

If it hasn’t come yet it means only one thing.
I am not a vibrational match to what I
Want so strongly. I must find a way to relax
There is nothing to gain through my frivolous acts.
With the laws of the universe I must comply.
I may not understand now what good it may bring.

By nature I am one who turns thoughts into things
By being in the receptive mode. I can’t be
In a bad space where I cannot pick up the clues
That the universe constantly sends. That’s good news.
I don’t have to blame others for what’s up with me.
My vision is the clearest of understandings.

Get Out Of Trouble

Mar24

Ominous is the feeling that cripples my soul.
What may happen is dreadful. I can’t think about
Devastation, poverty, and deep emptiness.
If I’m so out of balance and crippled with stress
Over what I’ve created, there is little doubt
That I can get a grip and take back some control.

How can I shift my frequency, when in despair,
To one higher, if that is even possible?
Luckily it can be done without going mad
Through a process and promise that is ironclad.
I can save my own life if I am docible
Of the logic of wellbeing which isn’t rare.

Everything is a lesson. Each experience
Is for me a perfect opportunity to
Let myself be the best student that I can be.
I would gain some awareness of dark parts of me.
Giving up is the worst thing on earth I could do.
Nonexistence is futile and doesn’t make sense.

To say that it’s too difficult reinforces
My belief that it’s difficult. I can divest
Myself of negative thoughts about what is taught.
If I see myself in others, I won’t be caught
In the trap of hopelessness. This life is the test.
Its curriculum consists of many courses.

Forget Bad Memories

Mar22

It was gross and traumatic – all that I went through.
Memories still catch up with me no matter where
I decide is a good place to block them away.
Deep inside me where they don’t belong they will stay.
Am I worthy enough to relive my despair?
Is there some way that I can live my life anew?

In the present, the past is created by me.
To better wrap my head around this, I accept
That everything is here and now. What I can’t do
Is invalidate what I don’t like. It is true
That I must come from a neutral place. What is kept
That is of no use can be released completely.

If I’m putting too much emphasis on the pain,
I must know that I do have the power to choose
To unlock from the feelings that I don’t prefer.
Putting my focus elsewhere, relief will occur.
Otherwise I will be open to self-abuse.
Logic dictates the choice if I’ve not gone insane.

It really doesn’t matter what happens – only
What I do with what happens that determines how
I will deal with the future. Toxic memories
Linger as long as needed until my heart sees
Past my old belief systems. If I can allow
Some relief in this moment, much better I’ll be.

Gratitude Makes It Happen

Mar17

In a big way I’m selfish. It’s all about me.
There are so many wishes that I want fulfilled
And I’m totally satisfied with where I am
Even with all its chaos. I work a program
Where I get most things done because I am strong-willed.
Am I somewhat disgusting? I don’t want to be.

Through experience I learn the way to behave.
Because I am hard headed there’s no other way.
I’ve learned that when I don’t care, things turn out alright,
And I don’t have to struggle, much to my delight.
My resistance vibration causes me dismay
Can I weed out the habits that do self-enslave?

The entire world is revolving around me
And every one else. It’s counterintuitive
At this point, but it will not be for very long.
There’s an uncanniness to my getting things wrong.
It’s a specialized talent that I’m made to live,
But I don’t have to use it if I let things be.

All in all, it’s a good life. I am grateful for
All the things that still thrill me. I appreciate
That I can be excited without anything
In the outer world causing it. What it can bring
Is an ease of contentment. When I’m in that state
I expect and am showered with blessings galore.

Change Your Life

Mar7

There’s a life that needs changing. Perhaps it’s my own.
There are no others near me. It suits me just fine
For the moment because I’m at step number one.
The main part of my journey is now just begun.
To invest in a future, I must make one mine
And ignore the small detail that I’m way past grown.

There must be disconnection from all that I know
Throughout each day for some time to be connected
To myself and the present. Devices need be
Put into silent mode. Noting can disturb me
While I make it my goal to be redirected
To the self who wants nothing better than to grow.

Ask myself if I can be defined by something
Of a possible future or of the dark past.
What would I want to change in my life if I could?
Contemplate in a way that is best understood
To come up with a vision I know that will last
As the subtle brain tissues now start firing.

Personality is composed of these three things:
How I think, how I act, and the way that I feel.
I can change who I am just by changing one thing.
Clarity and conviction in life it would bring.
I believe that my future can be most ideal.
Much control I can have over what my life brings.

It’s About The Emotion

Feb26

When we speak of manifestation we may mean
A relationship, money, or some other thing
That we can sink ourselves into. Certainly these
Count as manifestations. Each moment we seize
Is the one most important because it will bring
Everything into focus when senses are keen.

This moment is the juncture where you come to meet
Who you are at your truest. So in this moment
Is where manifestation is being allowed.
The infusion of consciousness keeps you endowed
With the wonderful feeling of being present.
You emote yourself into your staying upbeat.

Because everything is a manifestation
Your feelings are special in that you have control
Over how you are feeling. What is uplifting
To your spirit and all that does make your heart sing
Do with unfettered passion that you may be whole.
Co-create with your spirit a space to have fun.

Your emotion is wrapped around what you receive.
Anything that you want is for but one reason:
To feel better in having it. To separate
The emotion from creation is to berate
What is manifested. It is the emotion
Above everything else that you want to achieve.

Be Nice To Yourself

Feb23

A wholehearted uplifter you are at your core.
To be in the moment is your ultimate goal.
The nature of your being is spiritual
But for now in a physical body you shall
Retain your connection with your eternal soul.
Whatever you think of yourself, you are much more.

What’s the best advice ever then? Be nice to you!
Your best focus, or work, or attention while here
Is to reacquaint you with who you really are.
Advocating your best influence is by far
The ticket to your vibrational atmosphere.
Preparation and maintenance is what to do.

It’s all about reception, so tuning is done
To allow the wellbeing to be what it must –
A feeling overwhelming in power and grace.
You’re selectively sifting through this time and space
In this infinite universe. Do learn to trust
In its wisdom. You’ll feel better in the long run.

Eat and rest well. Get out and take in the fresh air.
Play with people who are fun, and go to places
That uplift and excite you, and quiet your mind.
When you are nice to yourself, in time you will find
That you’ll realize all that your heart embraces.
Get yourself in a good place, and keep yourself there.

Timing Is None Of Your Business

Jan26

Many things are in the process of becoming.
So is it possible for timing to be off
On something that is so right? Of course that can be.
To call it wrong timing is unnecessary.
At this notion your truer self would surely scoff
One can take care of business by doing nothing.

Timing is none of your business, and this is why.
Throughout your life you have gathered much momentum.
All cooperative components are in place
To bestow upon you an intelligent grace.
You can trust that what you have will always come from
How you take to the process you cannot deny.

What it would be like you can only imagine…
Alone trying to move all the pieces around.
There are too many of them. Leaving them alone
Relieves you of the task of grasping the unknown.
By trusting in the process content can be found.
Then you will witness timing like it’s never been.

Find one reason after another to partake
Of the feeling of satisfaction through your day.
Know that all that you’ve asked for is manifested
In vibrational escrow. You are not tested
In the least by the process. Take time out to play.
You’re no master of timing so give it a break.

Compulsive Thinking Cessation

Aug27

Thinking is an addiction when it’s ego based.
Resistance to the moment and things as they are
Turn the mind into digital circuitry lost
In destructive anxiety and at great cost
To my sense of wellbeing. I am very far
From the life that I’ve longed for. Has it gone to waste?

There are two types of thinking. The futile is one
Where the mind spins in circles. Problems it creates
As well as certain enemies and grievances.
This dysfunctional state creates circumstances
Marked by fear and regret. Nothing but gloom awaits
When I’m stuck in a mind trip, and it ain’t no fun.

The other kind of thinking, not of the ego,
Comes from someone who’s deeper – the real part of me.
When I access this person in meditation,
Thinking then is constructive. I don’t feel undone.
Real thinking is creative, but positively.
Fruitfulness is the outcome as I get to glow.

Thought can be in the service of something worthwhile.
Universal Intelligence is but the best
To give all my devotion. A friend I can make
With this moment most present for everyone’s sake.
I’m a tool by which infinite love is expressed.
This indeed is much more than a reason to smile.

The Game Of Satisfaction

Aug10

As I’m having a good time and things go my way,
I delight in the process and manifest more
In the way of fulfillment. I may go along
Until some ‘what if’ happens and something goes wrong
When I’m faced with an issue that I can’t ignore
Then I must find the best way to feel more ok.

History and old habits have nothing to do
With the new ever presence that this moment holds.
My thoughts are where I left them last, and there they stay
And become a trip hazard some God awful day.
Do I have any say in how my life unfolds?
Getting rid of the old stuff makes room for what’s new.

I can stop the self-sabotage. I’ll think about
The issue in a way that feels better by far
Than the dwelling upon it. ‘What if’s’ can be good.
A game can be made of life that is understood
To leave me in contentment. The way that things are
Shall evolve as they should. I have nary a doubt.

So, I do keep a journal; this one and one more
With a line down the center and separate sides.
On the satisfied half go all happy events.
On the other, the troubled heart and its contents.
Putting them in a new place, I’m making great strides
In my human development – none like before.
