"Only you possess the power to create a fulfilling and contended life through your growth, mindset, and daily choices." -Katheliyer

To open oneself up completely, with our fears, our weaknesses, our strengths, our love, is the risk we take in human form. We trust that familiarity will not lead to contempt, but that our subconscious will strengthen this thing we call love. As long as the ego is kept out of the equation by the will of our spiritual nature.

I'm not a contest person. Don't want to make my life a competition -- wanting suggestions to come from myself, wanting little as possible for my works to be the prompted themes of others -- not a feed the hungry person, preferring to fish with my brothers and sisters. I believe each God given life is a miracle divine, a bottomless spiritual well of personal creativity, to be drawn from and explored to the fullest unhindered by writing laziness --

Free Will. It means that we not only can make choices, but we also control alternative variables unlimited. Though we have individualized souls we are part of Universal Consciousness. What affects one affects all. We create our own physical and mental reality. Time we stop abusing God's miracle gift to humanity.
|
In a few concise words, if there is such a thing as Free Will...it must be omnipotent. Anything less, is simply manipulated illusion. Something outside ourselves controlling all possible variables including time and space.

When the majority rules there is no controversy, but when politicians rule there is always controversy.

You were made to think that you can fight against darkness.
The truth is, you cannot fight a thing in its own domain.
The reason you see a need to fight darkness is the absence of light from within.
Unlearn all that has crippled your light.
Be awakened. Be enlightened. Then come before darkness, and it will disappear, for it cannot contend with light.

I usually give annoyance a 3 day resting period. Have found that, on the 4th day, the sun comes out. Bad enough to be a victim...seldom any good comes by contributing.
|
Things...even good and happy things -- are beyond mortal control. The grace of God any longevity.

As we converse with computers, there comes a need for a contraction of 'she/he/it', most naturally 'sheit'. With an emphasis on the 'h', to reflect the dual genders. A particularly able instance thereof might be termed 'deep sheit'. And conversely, a potential dismissal might be referred to as 'sheit's going down'.
|
I can't stick to form, so I don't even enter contests. I write Free, Blank verse, no lipstick, they are all pigs admittedly.
|
It’s better to remain in control than to have to be controlled.
|
First God, then my wife, then my cats...in other words, my first choices are to let love control me.
|
We belong to the last generation that will make intellectually significant contributions. After that, the best to be hoped for is 'Not bad, for a human.' But then, if computers had to run on million year old technology, they wouldn't do so well either.
|
Bigotry is a contradictory endeavor.
|
What we plant, how we nurture will be our fruits -- how future generations of our ways will know -- and how God will decide, in His graceful time if humanity to terminate or continue to hopefully let flow.
|
Until we confront our contradictions, progress will remain a promise, not a reality.
|
With me poetry is about subduing one's conditioned mental reflexes, and allowing purer inert forces to take control of the stylus. In short, poetry should be about transcending the physical into realms of the metaphysical. The heart of great writing is spiritual and not commercial. One must take the "I" out of a work as much as creatively possible.

Know the difference between oppression & suppression. Oppression is overt, can easily be identified & “conquered”. Suppression happens in subtle realms of consciousness, is subconscious or unconscious. Many sophisticated, educated masculines, are involved in suppression of feminines for fear of descending into subconscious realm to unshackle masculine domination/control there. Unless we recognise how this suppression is exercised to retain egoic selves, we remain trapped in humanity’s prisons.
|
Never latch onto this or that person, this moment, that future, another past. Would you seize one color and call it a rainbow?
|
Every human being possesses the ability to control the impression they give.
|
All Human evolution is only a matter of Remembering our contracts with Spirit.

“Men, when enthrall’d by the puissant tide of their own affections, are oft but humble clay, unshapen and earthbound; yet they who stand apart and behold such passions with contemplative eye are transmuted into poets. For thus it hath ever seem’d to me that the most guiding and heaven-breathed literature of the world descendeth unto us not in common speech, but array’d in the measured raiment of verse.”
|
It takes a lot skill, thought, and hard work to make a poem sound convincingly spontaneous.
|
Poetry should express emotion with structure and restraint, because, paradoxically, structure can make the expression of emotion seem more, not less, spontaneous, and restraint can make emotional expression seem more, not less, intense.
|
“Be very careful of not projecting unwillingness to move into Heartspace onto humanity. Humanity only reflects our own individual actions & intentions. If we are unwilling to usurp Ego’s dominance, so will humanity remain in war and fear mentality. Likewise do not blame humanity for war imperatives, as all individuals are part of humanity. It’s never about ‘them’. Point all fingers inwards & backwards, whilst retaining sovereignty.”

A poet shouldn't worry too much about being consistent. As Walt Whitman said, "Do I contradict myself? So sue me." (I may not have that quote exactly right, but he was from New York so he could have said it that way.)
|
Make things easier on yourself and let go of things you can't control
|
Never pay reading or contest fees. If asked why, say, “I don’t pay for love and I don’t pay for readers.”
|
If you (naturalist, atheist, behaviorist and humanist, etc.) want psychological resolution, resolve your philosophical contradictions.
