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.
Religion and Spirituality
Spirit tells me that
Different religions and spiritual belief systems
Necessarily exist because of
Different knowledge needs among
Different groups of people.
No teacher replaces another
Spirit assures me,
Until the seeker, or believer,
Is attracted to another way of
Understanding Life than
What she or he is now learning from
A Present teacher or from
Personal experience alone.
We each possess and
We each are, a unique
perspective, attracted to
A similar or expanded
Version of our own way of
Learning, or our own way of
Knowing, and our own way of
Relating to our shared reality.
Acting out expresses a need for love
Spirit tells me that
To be able to respond with compassion to
Unacceptable behaviour and verbal abuse
Requires awareness and acceptance of
One’s own truth, as well as
What seems to be the truth of
The person acting out, and still
Love that person, if only because
She or he seems to be
Very much in need of love.
I’m playing a game I can’t win, and know it.
Spirit tells me that
I’m playing a game I can’t win.
Somehow, I suspect this may be true, but,
How am I supposed to respond
To Spirit’s sometimes power strategies.
Are they designed to weaken my resolve
To resist accepting as true,
anything that I can’t understand?
even knowing that my capacity
to understand is limited, or
Do I resist for the sake of resisting? or,
Have I developed a habit of resisting
The mind boggling concepts Spirit
Presents me with, to simply deny
The limitation of my mental capacity
To understand them?, and, if this is true,
Then why?
Wouldn’t it be so much easier
To simply give in, and say,
Okay, you win.
Am I just to stubborn to do so?
But, what if Spirit’s intention is
To encourage my capacity to resist being
A mindless sponge, or
A spineless sponge, if
There be such things.
Free will and destiny
Spirit tells me that free will and destiny work together
To create a lifestyle. We each can, and must, choose
From available options, but only from those
Available options that we are aware of
At the time of our choosing.
Of course, a possibly different selection
Of options, may be available
To each one of us.
Spirit also cautions me that
The selection of options available
To each of us, now,
May be less or more
Than were available to us
At some earlier time, in our past, and,
The choices we make with
Our free will may expand, or reduce
The collection of options available to us
To choose from, in the future.
One choice alone is not available,
Claims Spirit, The option
Not to choose.
An explanation of Universal Laws
An explanation of Universal Laws.
What a book that would be.
To learn and teach, or share
How Universal Laws operate
In our everyday life,
And how, if respected and
Followed, would
Change our world,
One person at a time.
To respect the world
We live in, the world
That we are a part of.
To understand that
To violate Universal Laws
Is to violate ourselves, and
To honour them is
To honour ourselves.
Yes, but,
What are they?.
Where is the promised book
Spirit has always promised, no, pledged that
We would write His book.
Sure, twenty-five years later and,
Where is the book.
Meanwhile, I have filled
Piles of journals with notes,
Words of wisdom, and
I have served as a channel,
Sometimes, but
Never in a way that
Satisfied my soul.
It all seemed too frivolous,
Unimportant, and yet,
To those involved,
On either side, it was
Obviously satisfying. But,
Nobody seemed to ask Spirit
How to live a good life.
Instead, they wanted to be happy,
Here, and rich, if possible.
Perhaps I do, too.
