reflect restrain
thus retrain mind
no chain remains
In our trance state, ego is in control,
so ego with Self needs to be aligned,
that we may then perform our ordained role,
relying on instinct, divine aligned,
free from fetters of our lower mind’s bind.
We rise, we fall and then we rise again
and thus in stillness consciousness retrain.
An etheric drill whirs in our third eye,
guru and crown chakras following suit,
the vibrant bliss hum causing heart to sigh,
as breath by breath our stillness we reboot.
Navel to crown now is the central vein,
in as cognised, as a pillar of light,
wherein capsuled consciousness we retrain,
imbibing bliss, heightening heart’s delight.
Each node renews itself within itself,
as dynamic stillness whilst in motion,
etching within luminescence of Self,
where we as the drop become the ocean.
Sipping nectar of bliss as it does spill ~
We shape shift and metamorphose at will
as long as we believe we’re body-mind
forgiveness issues will leave heart in pain
if head melds with heart, both with love aligned
only then will our soul be free from stain
else we will reincarnate to retrain
so life choices we make are up to us
the wise ones hasten to board God’s bliss bus
The unpoppable bubble
that male centric sphere
all ego and gobble
and sucking atmosphere
mind a bubble for a brain
and maybe too late to retrain
that it’s a different world for women ~
they just cannot entertain.
Trust is a must,
Or you're left in the dust,
Gusty winds come re arrange,
The change feels strange,
As a range of emotions,
Flow through the ocean,
Of all the people in motion,
Trust is the magic potion,
Devotion by default,
Truth secured in the vault,
The fault behind my mind,
This was designed by the Divine,
Mine to define and refine,
Finding my way through,
Trusting what I feel to do,
Love every moment too,
Life can really teach you,
Change how you view things,
Bringing a sense of wonder,
Standing under starry skies,
The surprise,
It's all coming from my eyes,
Realizing I can trust my brain,
I retrain the whole system,
Maintaining a way between them,
Empowering every aspect I see,
There in me for a reason,
All will come in its season,
Trust all that your seeing,
And release what isn't agreeing.
As we navigate this domain,
with past life memory erased,
while most pursue lust and shun pain,
we walk through this dream life unfazed.
We merely act as of God’s will,
as we navigate this domain,
along slopes uphill and downhill,
equal in sunshine and in rain.
Reflex responses we retrain,
our eye mindful and touch gentle,
as we navigate this domain,
the way we look, nonjudgmental.
We’ve surrendered and come undone
and no longer wear ego’s chain,
so nothing by us need be done,
as we navigate this domain.
We walk the talk, though not easy
to surrender ego
and feral, dark desires sleazy,
which makes heart pure like snow.
Let’s be a child again
and our presence retrain,
to break free from fear’s chain.
We do not balk ~
We walk the talk
Ego-mind an instrument for our use,
that helps us to navigate this terrain
but it is from our heart where bliss does ooze,
so we view ego cravings with disdain,
slowing down thought, that mind we may retrain.
With thoughts rested, wayward ego thins out
and we rest in awareness free from doubt,
humming a verse, one with the universe,
viewing life as a dream going about,
divine aligned with no need to rehearse.
what will it be dear, our mind or the heart
heart’s the seat of soul and mind the ego
with which instrument do we wish to start
out of these two, one we’ll need to let go
no doubt analytical mind’s useful
it helps us to navigate this terrain
yet love in the heart makes life beautiful
to have the best of both worlds, let’s retrain
conscience the referee, head-heart agree
treading gently on earth, bubbling with mirth
dropping desire, setting consciousness free
choice of cessation signals our rebirth
as formless presence dwelling in this form ~
knowing life’s a dream, we weather each storm
Explain
Short ?circuiting again,
Someone check the main,
There's an energy drain.
Rewire the brain,
Break the chain,
Let's end their reign.
I'll explain.
Subjected to pain,
Everyday strain,
To attain,
Financial gain.
Trying to maintain,
While they campaign,
Leaving a nasty stain.
Can someone explain,
Our money spent in vein.
The problems still remain.
It's insane,
Inhumane,
Our existence inane,
Trying to retain,
A piece of the mundane.
Spirit explains,
It's creating disdain,
On your inner plane.
Its Limiting our domain.
We need to retrain,
To Ascertain,
And Regain,
The power we contain.
Time to obtain,
The key to the arcane.
The belief in re-establishing greatness.
Using yesterday as the template for tomorrow.
Consolidating our past and funding
our current situation
to afford, build, create,
pause
and reconsider, to move, and stay
and look, keep out sight on
and make our Nation
that beacon of hope
for all involved.
Where those who can will work
and train and retrain to build the future
for that tomorrow
and the Happy Ever After that all People
and Peoples e to be included into!

Pain comes back to reposition you
It can return to steer you in the right direction
It alters your course and
At times, it forces you to rethink your situation
Repurposed pain
It is here to retrain you and
Realign you so that you finish your purpose
Pain comes back to reposition you

I once had a lover who was a smoker
I told him I really wish he’d quit
The smell alone was quite a choker
And his clothes were full of it
I knew he was addicted and afflicted
So I tried to inspire change
Gave him a sucker hoping he’d lick it
Maybe retrain his smoker brain
When that didn’t work I continued to search
For he was my sun on cloudy day
His feelings I didn’t want to hurt
But kissing is like licking ashtray
So let’s try acupuncture this time
With a little luck and love you can
Beat this habit that should be a crime
To market or sale to woman or man
This really helped and he does well
His cravings are less with a stick
He turns to me all smoke free saying
What about your addiction to chocolate
Some are like gold in your life
Some are gold-plated
Know the difference
Because this will show you the reality of life
You can be lied on
Talked about, plotted against
And still, win
Often people try to spin you in
A direction that is not linked to your purpose
Break free and see the glory of your story
Every season of life
Should give you a reason to try again!
As you retrain your mind
And remove the blind spots that
Often plague human lives
You will realize that you are stronger than the storm
Getting up and trying again should be the norm so
Know who is gold and who is gold-plated in your life
This will make a difference
Because this will show you the reality of life
Yet in the end, you can be lied on
Talked about, plotted against
And still, win
