The Spirit of Wakefulness

What creates the poverty of spirit? Sometimes it is family, friends, and other ones who plant the seed of doubt, perhaps depression at best. Sometimes it is indeed ourselves that bars our own climb into the sublime concerning this journey that we are all on. There can be the pain of how our mind operates in the land of thoughts. The fulfillment of dreams needs to have one desire, the spirit of discernment of other people's true motives when they sow the seeds of fear. The courage it takes to correct these mistakes of negative thinking is to gain the heart of newness and learn to be truthful and transparent with God and ourselves also. In exploring life's possibilities there is the betterment and fulfillment of hopes and dreams; forgiveness must be included in the equation. No matter what other people do or say we must forgive them and love them where they are in life's process. The rapture of being alive is good. I don't want to be haunted by what might have been. To make peace with my own self won't go away. I open up to experience divine joy which is manifesting itself anyway.
