this is the work...


oh men, women
i write today of this freedom 
that sits silent, blessed with light 
how can one get to know it? 
by moving away from the noise that plays 
in the head constantly 
one must do this or there is only a consuming 
of this ego nature always 
without a break 
which takes one one a journey that is based in self/ego-affirmation
it takes one on a journey that leaves no freshness to flow 
into the spirit 
it takes one on a journey that keeps the soul without sustenance 
of light 
it takes one on a journey that forgets what is righteous 
oh soul 
this is the reality 
for without the purity of light, one is confused in thinking 
what is seen (with the physical eye) is the truth 
and feels that there is only this concrete world to hold to 
with all it's ups and downs 
yet this is the illusion that keeps one revolving here 

it is the one that has courage to move away from this drama-mind 
that can begin to see clearly what is true and false (or transient)
if there is no buffer there that one can see, then the soul is taken
unaware and without knowing on this ride of maya 

this is not how most want it, yet feel this is the way it is without question
the one that is courageous will not let this happen so easily and will
continuously draw away from this mind-stuff and rest in the moment 
it matters not the experience that is taking place, this is the work 
no different whether the experience is good, bad or neutral
yet the experience that is pleasurable can be much more difficult to 
draw away from because the soul desires to repeat it
but those difficult ones, oh love, 
those experiences one is not eager at all to repeat
and will do whatever possible to get out of it and never return 
this is the blessing of suffering that comes to those that remain set
on coming out of it at all cost 
for the mind really is a thing that one is attracted to out of being familiar 
like a friend or simply a part of who *i* am or what *i* am composed of 
including this gross body 
this is the thing to be looked at -- God did not tell you this for sure 
so we must look at this fallacy and see that thoughts rise, fall, have breaks
all of it -- look, look..... question without taking any answer to be the truth either
for this will prop one up in another way and another set of belief systems 
will be adopted..
