Life
What is this thing, this thing called life,
Is it supposed to be fun, or full of strife
Are we destined to be joyously happy, or sad?
Do we have a purpose, should we be good, or bad?
Is there a reason why we’re all here in this place
That we call earth, and as a human race,
Are we separate individuals, or are we as one?
And can we get it right before everything is done?
That is my purpose before you today,
To help you to find the big answers, if in a small way.
I became a Life-Coach to aid my fellow-man,
To help ease your fears, to help give you a plan.
To help you to realize (hopefully within this hour)
That we’re not alone, that there is a Higher Power.
How do I know, how can I be so sure?
Because I’ve seen the light that will help you endure.
This light is immense, it stretches far and wide,
But, the uncanny thing is that…it’s found inside.
Yes, you have this light, but it must be found,
To do so, you must have a mind and body that is sound.
You need to keep thoughts that are positive and pure,
But, that’s no problem, it’s in our nature for sure.
This light is Divine, and accessible to all,
Sadly, only few have found it as most “drop the ball.”
Why is this so? How can so many be so blind?
Is it because it takes some effort to find?
Are we so entrenched in our present state,
That we leave everything in life up to fate?
Do we honestly think that we have no choice,
About our circumstances; that we have no voice?
Well, I’m here to tell you that you have the power,
To change your life, to blossom like a lotus flower.
To see this light, all it takes is an iron will,
All you have to do is to simply…be still.
Just be still long enough to quiet your mind.
Once you quiet the “chatterbox,” then you will find,
All of the answers to the questions that you face,
They are all right there, in this Sacred place.
This Sacred place is right in tune with your heart
It’s called your Soul, and tis where you must start.
To rebuild your life, you must start anew,
If anyone else can do it, why not you?
And if not now, then I must ask, when?
Now is the best time of all to begin.
Because now is the only time we that have, my friend!
Now is the only truth, now is our reality.
For the past is gone, and the future will never be.
What better time to start than right now, today?
One way to begin is by thinking in another way.
You must understand just what you truly are,
You are a beacon of light, a bright shining star.
You are an extension of Divinity, of Power and Grace,
You were put here to have “Dominion” over this place,
That we call earth, yes, you are the King,
You can do, have, or be anything!
The keys to the Kingdom are locked in your Soul.
In order to find them, you must become whole.
Most people seemingly, don’t have a clue,
As to how to think, or as to what to do.
Society makes us think that making money is the key,
But, there are plenty of rich people who are unhappy.
So, what must you do to unlock this vault?
Part of the problem is that it’s not all your fault.
This society pushes you in entirely the wrong way,
We’re “spiritually unconscious” Tolle had to say.
Just sit down, relax, and quiet your mind.
Then, and only then, you will begin to find,
All of the answers that you’ve been searching for,
It’s all in there, plus so much more.
Like, what your purpose is, and what’s the plan,
For your rightful place as a Sacred woman, or a man
You’ll tap into your values, your true wants and needs,
It’s there that you will find all of your seeds,
Of greatness, of worth, of peace and of joy,
It’s all in there, no matter if you’re a girl or a boy.
“The Kingdom is at hand” Jesus is to have said,
If this is the case, then we can have it now; not after we’re dead.
Some people may have a problem with what I have to say,
But, I’ve seen the Light of truth, It has shown me the way.
The way to eternal bliss isn’t through material things,
It’s the Spiritual realm that really makes your heart sing.
The material world must change, and that’s a fact.
The Spiritual world is constant, and thus has your back.
The material world is full of suffering, pain and despair,
In the Spiritual world there is hardly a care.
The Spiritual realm is where, sight unseen,
Love, joy, peace and wisdom convene.
We’re so caught up in the things that we can see,
We think that the things unseen can’t really be.
However, they are the truly important things.
Like the unending joy that peace of mind brings.
Happiness and joy aren’t things that you can buy,
No matter how hard you fight, or how hard you may try.
An Ancient Chinese proverb puts it best,
If you understand this, you’re up for the test.
You can buy a watch, but you can’t buy time,
Just as you can buy a pencil, but it won’t write a rhyme.
You can buy sex, but you can’t buy a wife.
You can even buy blood, but you can’t buy life.
Believing that you are an indispensable piece,
Of life’s unending puzzle, will cause you to cease,
To be so heavily steeped in this material world’s wealth.
Because you can pay a doctor, but you can’t buy health.
You can surely buy water, but not the rain from above.
You can even buy a woman, but you can’t buy love.
Our unending search for more material things,
To make our life whole, invariably brings,
Much more stress, more worry, and much more strife,
As we attempt to “buy” more meaning to our life.
These things that we purchase simply bring more work,
As we polish, insure, and store what we call our “worth.”
The truth is, the things that really matter can’t be cleaned,
They can’t be moved, because they can’t be seen.
They aren’t subject to credit-checks, or to lay-away,
They can’t be driven, eaten, put on, or played.
You can’t put them in a bank, or in a safe place,
Except maybe in your heart, to help the human race.
So, sit back, relax and try to let go,
Of this cluttered part of mind, that we call the ego.
It’s the gateway that prevents us from accessing the Soul,
It’s the main reason why we can’t become whole.
The ego makes us think that we’re something we’re not,
It’s the main reason for arguments, wars, the whole lot.
When ego is in place, you’re Easing God Out.
And when you ease God Out, the devil’s about.
And if the devils about, there’s nothing but sin,
I don’t think that’s the place that you want to be in.
Most of us want love, happiness, joy and peace,
When you acquire these concepts, the devil must cease.
Because joy and evil can’t invariably mix,
So, the only possible way to make the fix,
Is to concentrate on the things that you desire,
Not on things that bring you closer to the fire.
Your success and happiness depends entirely on you,
It’s in the way that you think, and the things that you do.
It’s in your attitude, your beliefs, and in your faith,
But, mostly it’s in your Soul, where your true answers lay.
If you listen long enough, the answers will reveal,
Just how you really think, and how you really feel.
Your Soul is the essence of who you truly are,
Not your job, your name, your religion, or your car.
You don’t need any books, degrees, or a crystal ball,
To tell you what to do, or how to have it all.
All of the answers you’ll need are already there,
Find them and end your suffering, pain and despair.
Everything you need has been put into place,
By Divine Intelligences’ almighty Grace.
The biggest obstacle is the incessant “chatter,”
That goes on in our brain, that we think doesn’t matter,
But, it’s the main reason why we’re stuck in this rut,
It’s the reason for psychology and why they may call you a “nut.”
This unconscious ego that constantly plays in our head,
Makes us all walking zombies, just like the living dead.
We “go through the motions” like a conditioned elf,
While moving farther and farther away from our true self.
But, it’s all a part of the world leaders plan,
To make you think and feel less and less of a man.
This makes you dependent on the products that they sell
You know, the jewelry and cars that mask your living hell.
At least, “I’m eating good,” some may rightfully say,
But, from the soup line they’re only one paycheck away.
So, don’t get so caught up in this maddening rush,
For more money, jewels and things that are plush.
Make learning yourself your number one goal,
It’s the only thing that will truly make you feel whole.
However, not of a narcissistic, or egoistic kind,
Do it as a Divine Creation, with an open mind.
The only way for us to live peacefully on earth,
Is to realize and utilize our gifts given to us from birth.
Everyone has them, as they are heaven-sent.
They are unique to you, just like your fingerprint.
D’Annunzio says we have between sixteen and twenty-four,
And it’s not improbable that some may have even more.
These gifts are your talents and passions, given only to you,
It’s up to you to find them and put them to good use
There’s also a life-force inside, as you will hopefully see,
In India it’s called prana, in the far east they call it chi.
It will spring forth inside of you like a breath of fresh air,
To give you new strength, where there once was despair.
All of this can, and will happen and so much more,
When you simply go into your room and close the door.
Some call it meditation, others call it prayer,
I say, why not do both, while you’re sitting there?
Unfortunately, most people claim they can’t quiet their mind,
Perhaps, I dare say that may be why they feel left behind.
It’s really not that hard once you reach a certain stage,
Your life is like a book, and when you turn a certain page,
You’ll reach a certain chapter where you’ll try anything once,
Because your life isn’t where you want, you may feel like a dunce.
But, when your life hits a point of no return,
When there’s nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run.
It’s then that you may realize that we are not alone,
If you don’t believe it, turn off the TV and turn off the phone,
Go to a quiet place and simply be still,
Infinite Intelligence will speak to you, it will.
It will tell you exactly what you need to do,
It’s honest and loving, it won’t lie to you.
It is the most complete knowledge that you can possibly learn,
It is definitely something that you shouldn’t spurn.
Once something makes sense, it is much easier to do,
It shouldn’t be a stretch for this to “click in” with you.
I struggled for years, and that’s for sure,
I often wondered, “Am I destined to be poor?”
I asked, “Is this all that life has to offer me?”
That’s when Infinite Intelligence said, “Look inside and you’ll see.”
“I’ve given you all the answers…you just failed to look,
In your Soul is where they lay, and not in some book.”
They’re not found in someone else’s money-making plan,
The answers, a.k.a. “The Kingdom” are definitely at hand.”
Don’t take my word for it, just try it and you’ll find,
That everything you need, is right there in line.
It’s always been there, ever since your birth,
Waiting for you to claim them, to help save this earth.
It takes a Higher Consciousness to see this through,
To comprehend the magnitude of what you’re supposed to do.
This can also be developed, simply by changing your mind.
Once you do this, then you’ll be able to find,
The path that was laid down eons ago,
Once you go inside, then you will instinctually know,
What your Soul feels, and you’ll also begin to see,
What your Source wants and needs you to be,
Once you tap into your Soul and find out who you truly are,
You’ll understand that you’re a shining star,
A Grand Conception, an extension of Divinity,
When you comprehend that it’s not all about money,
Then you’ll experience the Power and the Grace,
That will keep an eternal smile on your face.
Knowing that you’re doing what you were put here to do,
Will make a total transformation come over you,
Once you find your Divine purpose in life,
No one can stop you, not your husband, or your wife.
You’ll become the ultimate master of your fate,
You’ll have no time, or reason to bicker, or to hate.
Once you see yourself as a true Spiritual Soul,
And not this “material thing” that you can hold,
Then, you’ll see others as Sacred Souls as well,
And this is the Eternal Plan, as far as I can tell.
As individuals, we must continue to do God’s Will,
But, in order to hear it, we must learn to be still.
It is my prayer that to these words, you’ll do more than just read,
Hopefully, these words will help plant the seed,
Of greatness, that is patiently waiting to unfold,
So that you can experience true wealth untold.
Love, joy and peace are states of your mind,
Not something in this material world to find.
Once you comprehend this, and put into motion,
The gifts from inside, you’ll realize that you’re an ocean,
Of possibilities, of Love and of prosperity,
Money will be no object, as you will soon see.
You’ll live in total abundance, that’s for sure,
If you keep your heart true and your soul pure.
Simply find out what you would do all day,
Even, if you received no pay.
Find your “thing,” find what makes you swoon,
Find your talents, gifts, passions and soon,
Your world will open up to this magnificent place,
You’ll notice that there’s a perpetual smile on your face.
It’s because you’re doing the right thing, and at the right time,
And for all the right reasons, to which you were once blind.
You’ll cease all suffering, despair and pain,
Once you realize that life’s not about material gain.
It is my sincere prayer that to these words you’ll take heed,
And to those who do…I wish you Godspeed.
Namaste,
