Understanding Spiritual Partnerships

Job Well Done

Spiritual partnership is a partnership
Between equals with the aim of spiritual
Growth. Friendships aren’t spiritual because friends don’t
Want to rock the boat which is the reason they won’t
Help you get past the surface of your rationale
That’s afflicted. In essence, they don’t give a rip.

Friends will try to console, empathize, and relate
To your issues. They’ll try to make you feel better
When you’re not feeling happy. But they’ll never try
To get down to the nitty gritty and ask why
You’ve allowed your illusion of fear to fetter
Your spirit and the will within you to create.

A spiritual partner will help you look at
Where your bad experiences are coming from.
They won’t say, “Things will get better so don’t worry.”
A spiritual partner is likely to be
An annoyance at times and you may hate them some.
Sometimes friendships and marriages don’t go for that.

Friends will huddle together to keep from being
Buffeted by the winds. Spiritual partners
Want to know where the wind comes from. Never are they
Critical or judgmental. In truth they will stay
In compassion which is what the hurt soul prefers.
Spiritual partners aren’t always agreeing.

Time To Listen

Trying To Hear

The question I’ve been asking I’ve been asking for
Such a long time. I keep asking but the answer
Isn’t coming. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
The intention I have when I’m asking is strong
Still, receiving information doesn’t occur.
Are there some other avenues I could explore?

Yes. There are some. But the thing you must understand
Is that you’re a radar that transmits and receives
Which means you can’t do both at the same time. You must
Be quiet to receive and be willing to trust
That answers are forthcoming. Be one who believes
In this truth and the world will be at your command.

Listen up. There’s a message coming to you from
Deep within you. Make quiet your mind and you’ll hear
What you need for the moment. Need you listen to
The world’s chaos and its negative point of view?
Just get quiet. The message becomes loud and clear.
You have only your noisy mind to overcome.

Find relief from the chatter through meditation
Or something nonresistant yet satisfying.
While you’re not trying and when you least expect it
You’ll receive something that is to your benefit.
You can get the most out of life by applying
Some patience while awaiting manifestation.
