FREEING MYSELF FROM DARKNESS AND SOARING INTO THE REALM OF FREEDOM, LOVE AND INFINITE POSSIBILITIES “Your mind can be either a wonderful Servant or a terrible master, depending on Whether you are controlling it… Or if it is controlling you!” —Buddha “An uncontrolled and undirected mind is like Water which will always flow to the lowest Possible level of energy, thought and Consciousness if left alone and unattended.” —Amma Moving my own mind’s thought stream From “I can’t” and “I don’t want to” All the way up into the glorious realm Of “I can”, “I want to” and “I really love this work I have to do!” Is an exhilarating journey from having Low energy, low intention and low willingness Straight up into concentrated overcoming power. I realize that it is my own mind creating These low points of desperate resistance Which make me feel like it's all hopelessly Too much to believe I can accomplish anything. As soon as I realize my mind has fallen Into perilous dark places of whining and Looking for good reasons to give up and fail, I start the inner work of focusing on higher truths— Reminding myself that, no matter what it Looks and feels like, I am caught up in a vortex Of dark thoughts that are all just flimsy lies That I have dispelled thousands of times before— I start building up a powerful positive attitude Which illuminates this very moment with Light, And then bring my higher will to bear to live aware And free from all these dark sources of suffering— As I do the inner work, I spread my spirit wings and Soar back up into higher states of consciousness— Reentering the realm of infinite possibilities, Awakening once again to remembering who And what I really am and have always been— As my mind sheds all it’s stumbling foggy confusion— And I am suffused once again by the love And the light of the Divine and my true Self.
