Spirit tells me that,
And I seem to have experienced
The situation, a thousand times
Or more, We throw you
To the dogs, and then,
Later, after you have
Barely recovered,,
We gently ask you to
Comment on their savagery.

Transcending the Physical
Spirit tells me that
Transcending the physical does not
Require rejecting or neglecting
The physical aspects of our life.
Transcendence must necessarily
Include and expand from
The inside and then move
Beyond the boundaries of
Our physical and mental reality.
We are physical beings. We are also
Emotional, intellectual and
.Spiritual beings, all in one and,
All in one from a oneness
Perspective.
To neglect or abuse any one aspect
Of our being, is to neglect or abuse
Our being.
If we are to be neglected
And/or abused then let it be
By others, not by ourselves.
Not to be discouraged because
Spirit tells me,
Gently, I hope, or do I only imagine
A sense of gentleness, not to be
Discouraged because I never seem
Able to be all that I want to be, or
To be able to do all that
I want to do, or to understand
All that I want to understand,
Because, He tells me,
None of us could ever be, do, or
Understand any more than
A small portion of all that is
Still waiting for us to do, and be,
And understand. We each
Will always be becoming
More of what we now are, and
More aware of who and what
We are, spirit.
All that we can do is
Spirit tells me that
All that we can do may never
Be enough to achieve what
We might have achieved if
We could do more, but that
All that we can do is
All that we can do, and
We will do all that we can
To serve Life by caring for
Ourselves and our community,
As if such caring was
A sacred duty, and
It is.
Dishonesty is Intentional
Spirit tells me that
Dishonesty can never be
Unintentional, and it is
Self-destructive to accept
Dishonesty or abuse as
Unintentional.
Habits are habits may explain, but
Can never justify the habit.
Acceptance and Approval
Spirit tells me that
Acceptance is not necessarily
Approval, and to understand
A situation is not necessarily
To accept or approve of it, but
It is pointless to be annoyed that
A tree is a tree.
Oneness and Individuality
Spirit tells me that
Oneness is not possible
Without individuality, and
Though individuality is
Secondary to oneness, it is
A necessary part of oneness.
Practice or Habit
Spirit tells me that
Practice can result in
The development of
Physical, intellectual, emotional and, or
Spiritual patterns of behaviour, but that
Habits can also result in
The development of physical,
Intellectual, emotional, and, or
Spiritual patterns of behaviour.
The difference between
Practice and habit is that
Practice requires intent to
Continuously develop
Desired patterns of
Thinking, feeling, behaving and being.
While habits can develop
Through the lack of intent and
Conscious self-control.
No easy way out
Spirit tells me that
When we choose to take
An easy way out of
An otherwise difficult
Situation, that decision
Could have a long-term
Negative (not so easy) effect
(or consequence).
We could be creating
Future problems for ourselves
(and who wants that)
That might prove to be
Directly related to
Our refusal to face
Difficult situations when
They first visit us.
If Life is a Battle
Spirit asks me, If Life is a battle, then,
What are we fighting and,
What do we hope to win, and,
How would we know
That we have won
Whatever, if
We did.
Then He tells me that
We can never win
A battle, let alone
A war with Life, because
We each are Life.
