Joy, Love, Truth
What do you think your brain is doing
When you’re sad, depressed or screwing?
Lots! When sad or in a mood
Amygdala and hippocampus glued
To memory’s emotions tied,
Sensations not forgot!
When you’ve got the hots for someone
And that one is non-responsive
Do not let depression in.
Turn the sadness into gladness
And remember, hippocampus
And amygdala are slingshots into hindrance,
Solving blocks impediments;
A cross to bear you do not want to wear life through.
To continue:
Are you full of cheer?
Do you like the people
All around whomever and wherever
You come into contact?
Do you strive for truths and stick to fact?
My advice is focus!
Deal with body/mind detail.
When you hit resistance,
Stop the movement in the middle;
When you hit insistent pain, common sense and Corwin’s counsel
Is to halt, smack in the middle of its riddle.
You will soon feel feel well – or well-er
Than the hell before.
When feeling low, illusionary concepts flowing,
Going into brain, mind, soul to get the feel of wholeness
Is to know the big fat lie:
Illusion passing for reality.
Through the trick of nothing’s nowness,
(You could never start with less)
You secure the greatest motivation
To escort you to salvation.
Fortune, fame; misnomer’s lame and empty crown
Ties you up and ties you down.
When you see the sin of longings, wrongings,
Throngs of faith in spectre choices,
From profession to the newsy voices –
Know these are only noises –
Themes based on your dreams and schemes
To lead you far from happiness to emptiness and being fooled.
Let your ‘down-ness’ be your tool
To push and lead to real seeing,
No more robot in your thinking, but a being
Meant for more – much, much, much more.
