The Mind is your Mirror


A Star-inspired poem:

42

The conditions of the human mind
Are the mysteries of life
How to focus on the positive?
To avoid poor energy management

So change the situation
By loving life more
Let that be your foundation
The present moment
Begs for your affirmation

Fear of loss, fear of failure
Fear of being hurt, fear of change
These are no longer helpful states
Discont is a form of apathy
Blaming is a form of self-hatred

Self-pity is a form of neglect
Do not succumb to these habits
If you wish to have a pure mind

If you wish to live a good life
The psyche is in your hands
The psyche that is never a victim
But a Beloved observer of your life
It does not judge you if you

Are late to bloom or have problems
Adjusting to the dreams or purpose
For which you were made uniquely

Love the actions you do
Take a loving responsibility
With the freedoms of being human.

Treatise on God III


~ Exert from the Book of Faith

64

I’ve lived a modest life, told the truth
But I lived as if I had little Faith
Never did I once imagine
That nothing was impossible for me –

But to move mountains faith is required
For requests to be granted
For our hour of liberation to arrive
Of greater worth than gold, I ask for Faith

That which was once promised
From all that was sacrificed
Preaching is useless without that secret
Faith for which there is no easy remedy

The lasting listening, the last friend
For which there is no book, no sight
Invisible was our God, as mystical as the night –
Now faith is a kind of knowledge

That rests upon the hope of eternal life
Not for I myself, but for the promised beloveds
For a kind of salvation outside the scope of profit
But I have loved as if my faith was inexhaustible.
