Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the most dangerous word in your
Vocabulary. Although it’s a symbol for
Hope, it can just as easily be the reason
That your dreams remain dreams. To get anything done
Is a struggle, yet your dreams you cannot ignore.
Tomorrow isn’t the palace where now you can store.

Tomorrow diminishes the significance
Of the air that you’re breathing right now. It tells you
That someday you can begin your journey and that
In comfort you can wait. But you’re not looking at
The big picture. Tomorrow has nothing to do
With this present moment and current circumstance.

Tomorrow masks itself as an escape for those
Held down by fear. They are most resistant to change.
They’ll encourage you to be content where you stand
And that you have your whole life to do what you’ve planned.
But to one who is present this message is strange.
It’s contrary to what the enlightened one knows.

There will never be a moment in your life more
Precious than the one you’re living now. Be aware
Of the present. Tomorrow can last forever.
Opportunities come to you almost never
When you take on the attitude that you don’t care.
This moment is the one that is worth living for.

Insight

May4

Insight is the ability to have a clear,
Deep, and sometimes sudden understanding of some
Complicated problem or tough situation.
It is closely related to intuition.
The all-knowing universe is where it comes from.
It comes usually when the heart is sincere.

It’s a capability of the mind beyond
The intellect. It’s a penetrating mental
Vision or discernment of seeing into or
Apprehending the true nature of a thing. For
Those who are seeking wisdom, the transcendental
Nature of insight will get spirit to respond.

Insight becomes more clear and sophisticated
With advancing levels of consciousness. Insight
Can be used to determine how truthful someone
Is being. One can ascertain disposition,
Mood, and motive. It comes as a special delight
When the mind beyond ego is activated.

Solutions via insight have been proven to
Be more accurate than non-insight solutions.
Mindfulness meditation can facilitate
The refinement of insight. One can calibrate
To the level of everyday resolutions
Of issues. Every new problem is a breakthrough.

One Simple Trick

Mar2

Once your desire is strong, your body and your mind
Naturally move in the direction of that
Which is wanted. Sometimes the mind gets in the way.
All the negative clutter will surely betray
Your initial intention. Your wanting falls flat.
The challenge is to stay positively aligned.

From the mind comes everything ever created.
Through its complex machinery all came to be.
It can be trained to focus in the direction
Of delight in each moment and having more fun.
Keep your mind in a condition of clarity.
It’s your freedom to be constantly elated.

Wherever your desire is, your mind will be there.
Can someone or something take your mind off the prize?
It happens all too often, unfortunately.
As you rid yourself of some negativity
You recover your passion, and you energize
Rather than be de-energized into despair.

The mind is like a mirror. If there’s distortion,
You cannot see things clearly, but when it is clean,
Then the vision is absolutely amazing.
Be more conscientious about what you’re thinking.
The reflection of a happy life can be seen
In your own mental mirror. True sight has begun.

Define Yourself

Sep26

How do you Define Yourself? Do you think that you
Are a separate entity from everything
Else that you perceive? Do you believe that you are
Everything even though the notion is bizarre
To most people? We each have an inner being
Who can answer these questions from out of the blue.

The Big Bang is still happening. It never ceased.
It’s a process in progress with a beginning
And an ending uncertain from our perspective.
As sophisticated as we are we still live
As if we do not know that the earth is spinning
In its orbit by forces immensely released.

Someone has thrown a bottle of ink at the wall.
The big spot in the middle is surrounded by
Smaller ones. There are droplets on the outer fringe.
It’s foolish to think that our actions don’t impinge
On all that is occurring. It’s hard to deny
Unity fundamental. It’s an easy call.

In our ordinary everyday consciousness,
We pretend that we are not what we are truly.
Without eyes the sun cannot express as sunlight.
We know darkness because of what we know as bright.
You call things into beingness naturally.
You are the universe. You can be nothing less.

Why Is It So Hard?

Sep3

If I were to say that I’m God in India,
They would say, “But of course. It’s good that you found out.”
But if I said the same thing here, things would go south
Rather quickly. “What heresy comes from your mouth!”
They would shout in resentment. This leaves me no doubt
That it’s hard to express such a strange idea.

“Whatever the hell you may be, you’re certainly
Not the Lord God!” No one needs that blast in the ear.
The idea, to some, is very dangerous.
Moral standards, they fear, will be superfluous
And diminished if all people do not adhere
To their own rigid religious philosophy.

Dangerous ideas are contained within all
Fundamental religious structures. History
Demonstrates this quite clearly. Who can’t wonder why
It appears we are not God? We can but rely
On our physical senses. Multiplicity
Is our standard perception restricted and small.

What would it be like if you had the chance to see
Everything in its fullness and oneness? Would you
Feel that you were God at least for a little while?
No one need feel that, in this state, one is on trial
And about to be sentenced. The vision is true
And available to all of humanity.

The Center Of The World

Aug1

Westerners find it difficult to imagine
The kinds of mystical trans-theological
Experiences that Eastern cultures know well.
Science dictates our perceptions. It’s a hard sell.
So, the image of God fits not our rationale.
Therefore all theists are living in mortal sin?

It’s a way of articulating the absurd
Ways of thinking that come with the disconnection
Of God from our observations. What we believe,
Through our logic and everything that we perceive,
Is that every problem must have a solution.
Spirituality is forever deferred.

The state that one achieves during meditation
Is one where one can experience total bliss.
Symbols, imagery, and chatter that flood the mind
Fade into nothingness. One becomes not confined
By perceptions. Bad influences you dismiss
In the moment. You are at peace with everyone.

The hub of the universe is the central pole
Where stillness and movement coexist and are one.
Movement is time, and stillness is eternity.
The sense of life is realizing this to be.
It’s a resting point on your life’s journey begun.
Being there more often does wonders for the soul.

Knowing Truth

Feb19

Harsh judgement for harsh acts performed as I am ill
Keeps the gate locked on unpardoned parts of my soul.
The prison I’ve created I deem adequate
Yet the enemies of me have cause to debate
That no gnashing sufficient is worth my parole.
That I’ve been such an asshole does my spirit kill.

My remorse is reality as is my joy
That the pain is made bearable in my belief
That I need to be punished more than I am now.
Is my healthy survival in trouble somehow?
From my own misconceptions I need some relief
Otherwise I’ll continue to hurt and annoy.

The world is just a word. It is I who exist
And I am capable of experiencing
Absolute truth, but I shall never attain it.
I am guilty of all the sins that I commit.
There is no way of reconciling this damned thing
Yet I must learn to deal with the thoughts that persist.

In the mind there’s a prism that translates pure light
Into many distortions. My illness only
Sees the trees – not the forest. I glean redemption
Through clearing of my faculties. As this is done
It eventually helps me to better see
Somewhere in all the darkness a future that’s bright.

On The Brink Of Becoming

Jul8

Life gets pretty exciting as tightness gives way
To a lack of resistance. By one single thread
Does my wealth withered ego hang on to some thing
That will open the floodgates and easily bring
Tons of wealth headed for me. I’m sorely misled
By what life has to offer that I must obey.

Take your internet job search and stick it up where
Daylight never does enter. I’m not a damned slave.
I delight in my attitude being piss poor.
Suppose I interview you, you ignorant whore?
You are one third my age, and the way you behave
Is as if I’m some dipshit in need of a prayer.

“Get your sorry ass solvent, and pay your damned bills!”
Yes, I do get the message, but kindly fuck off.
Desperation is dangerous for all involved.
And the more I am fucked with, the less gets resolved.
I don’t feel like a creature that feeds from a trough.
I’ll avoid people judging me because it kills.

So, my phone remains unplugged. I’ll have no contact
With the world of disaster that I’ve created.
Well cocooned in my workspace, my value must grow.
I have asked for the universe, and I can know
What the world cannot tell me. I’ll rely instead
On belief in Becoming one who can attract.

So… Live Your Life

Apr24

Who whispers the answers to what I haven’t asked,
Knowing that I seek guidance along my own way?
If my way is my own, should I not be the one
To reply to my questions? In doubt I must shun
Solutions I come up with each and every day.
I know not what I’m doing. This is my forecast.

“Live your life so that fear of death never enters
Your brave heart or your spirit. Live and beautify
All the things in your life. Respect all whom you meet.
Love your life. Be of service. Ignore the drumbeat
That is harsh and discordant, and never deny
Your alignment with your truth, as spirit prefers.

Find your joy and be grateful for all that you’ve got.
Gratitude is the attitude worthy of grace
To help you get through tough times with relative ease.
Grovel not to another as if their feces
Is of glorified essence. Self-pride do embrace.
If you cannot feel grateful, you suffer a lot.

You will sing like a hero your going home song
And not long for more time to relive what has passed
In a different way. The regretful one weeps
For the loss of the dying self. The wise one keeps
In the heart memories of well-challenged contrast.
Know that life is a blessing that doesn’t last long.”
