Self-Discovery And Death

Wisdom And Existence

Disconnected and sealed entirely within
Our skin we seem to be, but it’s a deception.
The skin is not the boundary of the human.
Our senses indicate that we are other than
Everything else and thus illusion is begun,
But to think otherwise is societal sin.

You do not know how you manage to be conscious
Nor how to shape and grow your wonderful body.
But that doesn’t mean that you are not doing so.
You do many things always where you do not know
Or give even a thought as to how they could be.
Could they have something to do with the solar plexus?

You know not how the universe makes galaxies
Nor how musical, artistic, literary,
Or whatever genius or great talent is done.
It is true that you can’t teach it to anyone.
How do you know that you have a reason to be?
You are the consciousness that into this world sees.

Upon death some believe there will be nothingness.
Is that something to fret about? No memory
Have you of ever being before you are now.
If you happened the first time sheer chance might allow
You to happen once more rather eternally.
You are one with the universe so do not stress.

Breathing

The Ultimate Cure

Do I know that I’m breathing? Sometimes I forget
In the everyday business I put myself through.
So I’m given a hiccup, a belch, or a yawn
By the forces of nature which I depend on
Because I can’t remember some things I must do.
Have I come to know air as a vital asset?

I can use it to focus on since I’ve learned how.
Things I need to distract myself from are many.
Thoughts that carry resistance, by breath I release
To God’s infinite knowing. I find inner peace
Through a technique of breathing that’s just right for me.
It’s the best way I know to relax and allow.

The flow inward and outward of life giving air
Parallels with digestion. All cyclic function
Makes a pump of the body in integral ways.
If all systems are synchronized the body stays
Easily and rightly in its best condition.
Breathing is something that should be given some care.

Make your conscious attention to your breath your friend.
It will lower your blood pressure and calm your nerves.
Clarity and new insights will replace all doubt.
Any moment you have cannot be one without
The continuing cycle that all life deserves.
It’s the best advice anyone could recommend.
