Doublethink Beliefs

This life
Raised with absolute values, rules and regulations
Questioning them constantly, expecting to be killed for it.
I pretend to believe, for my own sake, when I am a child.
As an adult, question things in Sunday School, and feel wrath of others.
Doublethink belief, I am a liberalism wanting liberty and equality.
Whereas capitalization and socialization is impressed upon me with iron hands.
I wiggle out and escape, remembering that I rooted for the Indians
as a child in the sixties, feeling an empathy for them as every TV show 
allowed the cowboys to dominate and rule.


My Next Life
I hope to take my New Age beliefs with me into my next life
Sure, I have incorporated a bit of Christianity, mostly the New Testament.
I hope to remember how to hypnotize myself, and to meditate. 
It has served me almost better than prayers which are answered quickly.
I hope to incorporate my open-minded attitude, and my need to know.
Whatever comes will be up to my angels and spirit guides, of course.
They know the messages and knowledge I have learned in other lifetimes.
I hope to retain my imagination, and be allowed the childlike freedom to play.


As my breath flows, here and now
I plan to dabble in life with a toe full of chocolate.
A heart full of mirth, which is not directed toward others.
But rather full of hope and optimism that this might be one of my last incarnations
For I think the ultimate goal is to give away my ego and my individuality
And become one with Godmind, encouraging and inspiring the ones who struggle
to maintain hope, inspiration, enthusiasm and confidence. 
I cannot imagine any position more worthwhile.
I believe this is the quintessential goal and I look forward to it.

I always notice that you have a childlike straightforwardness and ebullience of spirit with liberal view points. Congratulations on your great win Caren Caren Krutsinger January 3, 2022 at 10:44 AM Thank you Valsa. Happy New Year my friend!

Shirley Hawkins December 27, 2021 at 9:17 PM Wow! I can relate to much of what you say, Caren. Good luck in the contest. Caren Krutsinger December 28, 2021 at 3:40 AM Thank you Shirley. I was glad there was this contest, for it made me think.

L Milton Hankins December 27, 2021 at 8:09 AM In my book, this is a winner! Especially, I like "open-minded attitude, and my need to know." Most of it could be said of me, Caren. When it comes to spiritual things, I must be your twin! Caren Krutsinger December 28, 2021 at 3:40 AM Thank you Hank; I have few twins, so I welcome you as mine. And I feel honored to have you.
