False Spiritualities
Our age is full of spiritual criminals
“I teach you!” I will show you the way!”
Yes, they will help. Of course. For money
People want to find the way. The way out
Why? People are fearing. Hmm. Future
Yes. But maybe too late, the gate is closed
Then came the help! The spiritual teachers!
“I teach you practices, knowing, meditations!”
They will teach you. Believe them. Lost money
One session is seventy to a hundred pounds
“We need to help you! This is our job! You!”
They are selfless angels! They are the saints!
Then the blind person’s wallet and credit cards open
“You have problems, we fix everything in your life!”
Naive people are victims of pseudo-spiritualist hyenas
There are traditions for help
Old churches, ancient religions
Do not follow the false teachers
Follow the ancient texts, prophets
Crystal clean sciences, theologies
Spiritualists interact
My Dad's Colloquium was arranged at best.
Also, Memorial Hall to inaugurate on his honor
Everything was scheduled and program well set.
I was unaware: Am I entitled to speak in seminar?
I was feeling emotive urge to speak on this occasion.
I was the first to write about his life and works when he was alive.
How could I keep silent on his special recognition?
I volunteered to go for extempore finding no other alternative.
I ventured and spoke so well, I myself was astonished.
Soul of Dad interacted with mine as if I voiced messages of Dad.
Divine tie between me and Dad was instantly established.
Since forty years the facts I forgot, miraculously flashed.
I recollected, I worked shortly in Dad’s Cloud Chamber.
I felt proud enchanted revealing information to rewind,
to see myself as the only one present in the seminar
directly associated with Dad’s work: I was redefined.

Generous they are by spirit and mind
Just by listening to their thoughts
Their excelence attract thousands
Each time craving to give more
They foil themselves to remain pure
In darkness they look to heaven
In daylight they pray for eternity
Ghosthunter spiritualists, they say
Once the gates were locked
There was no turning back
Their will endures by patience
And so does their life with God
They survive the power of evil
By their wisdom and knowledge
Leaving freedom aside, they abide
By love their memory remain eternal

Life is the embodiment of the unique existence,
the construct of universal elements nature chose
to manifest distinctively with the divine essence
in the unparallel trinity of body, mind and soul.
Beneath the surface of perceptive mortal senses
the mind builds all the dreams it desires to see.
Haunted by unreal apparitions in fear it invents
suffering the superstitious spell of surreal spirits.
Under the convolute layers of the transient mind
at the tranquil depth resides the enlightened soul,
imperishable, it sends the beacon of eternal truth,
builds subconscious holy linkage with the absolute.
Travelling on the undulating topography of life
an inward journey on the path of spiritualism
takes us to the ultimate destination of nirvana,
we learn the meaning of the trinity of existence.

Many people don’t believe and are skeptics today
Ghost and spirits are made up rumors they say
People making up stories to manipulate and prey
I am a not a skeptic due to my experience one day
We lived an old Victorian house on a hill
Thinking back to that day still gives me a chill
I was a child, not more than five or six years old
When I saw a gold colored spirit on the threshold
My parents thought I was making it up, dreaming
They even accused me of lying and scheming
I am sensitive and very intuitive in some ways
That is why I was able to see the spirit that day
I am not a skeptic but agree some things are a hoax
Not everyone really gets to see spirits and ghosts
I know some people think it’s crazy, made up and fake
But I know what I saw that day, I was totally awake

The trouble with sceptics is they boast
There is no way there can be any ghosts
They say spiritualists operate in great error
And create their own manufactured terror
Spirits can influence the inviting human mind
And have done so since Biblical times
So to comment on your theory of Ideomotor effect
Let us take time to seriously reflect
That the supernatural can affect some in a physical way
To push Ouija in what to say
Suggested thoughts enter some minds and they can hear it
They are paranormal and come from the spirit
So don't think you have it all figured out
Unexplained things happen there is no doubt
There is no logical way for you to argue
For God is supernatural too.

Seances seem to me
Are all pretense and foolery,
When it comes to mediums
Just charlatans, and tedium.
And tarot readings, what are they
Just money grabbers out to play,
Despite all this I believe
Our loved ones visit when we grieve.
But an audience plays no part
For my loved one dwells within my heart,
She visits me, and me alone
Not in a theatre, nor down a phone.
I do not question, I do not care
For it comforts me when she is there,
Just to feel her light, her love,
A blessing, from the Lord above.

Through the years
I have heard stories and
Had myself strange occurrences
I can only call bizarre
In my heart of hearts
I have come to only one conclusion
There is no need to describe the world
in terms of black and white
What is the use of being categorical
When it’s only a matter of time
When we cross over
And answers will become crystal clear
It’s senseless to point the finger
And say you are wrong and I am right
We have enough conflict on this planet
Without finding fault with the unknown
