Unfettered, Unconfused, Unconsumed

I have no fear of entering any thought-out venture

However, I avoid the angst of two-fold accusations 

And take great caution about it to dispel great censure

By misunderstanding and other outside critics’ agitations

If I end up in a state of happiness, hence, thankfulness

My end, ever evolving, will be better than my beginning

May you prosper as your soul prospers, is great ampleness

Whereas ampleness’s colossal opposite will be non-winning

Those who are sane understand the two realms of bountiful

The objective, material well-being by accumulated measure

That motivates striving for our portion from meager to plentiful  

Meant for growth. Then there's the subjective, hidden treasure

I rely on the hidden treasure where is stored my wisdom

That right-decision-maker that eliminates room for schisms

The reservoir of sanctified, unalloyed, and faithful rhythms

Movements of a soul undisturbed by the fickleness of isms.

TUMBLING WEEDS

The weeds, never self-rooted, not restrained by

Wills of their own, but by the wills of Other. 

Many tumbleweeds stroll by, being propelled

By the winds of time; some good, some ill.

The triumphs and traumas embedded in them

Serve as scenes from afar that one witness as

A judge, like a movie to be viewed and reviewed,

As an unction to be acted upon or discarded to let die.

What mean they, what they meant, should mean,

Should have meant. Images as the past teleported into the

Present, portending a future whose roots are in

The distant and not-so-distant past, yet eons past,

Ages past, eons more, ages more, lives past. Yesterday,

Yesteryear. The past, grandfathers of the present.

The present, grandmothers of the future.

What will the future be – let the 

Tumbling weeds be the silent instructors.

Our future is the witness to the past.

The pasts, witnesses to the present.

The future has no will of its own – it is the

Outcome of the wills of the past and the

Present. Whatever the future will be must

Be established in the present where the past

Is being worked out, which present in

The future is the past. And in all of these, the 

Maker of all things is there also. Tumbleweeds.

 (Thinking on and watching images in the mind, what they mean, what they don’t.)

ALL LIFE IS ENERGY

THOUGHTS ABOUT ENERGY - BEYOND SCIENCE - AND ITS NATURE

From my conversation with a teacher and his insightful comment about bottled-up energy.

I understand "bottled-up energy" to be the same as restlessness, boredom. These psychological disturbances are the same in old and young, rich and poor. The outlet valve for these feelings if anyone would receive it and test it out, is altruism. But people, when they are focused on self and cannot see Self within, waiting for an agreement with the personality (self) that the soul needs to be active through the service of the personality in good works towards others. That is our "whole duty of man" such that at the end of the day, we are satisfied within that we "go about doing good" because it is in us to do that good. If we don't, we miss the bull's eye and don't connect doing good to others all the time with our purpose for being here.

In the Christian faith that is not fully understood by some because in reality fundamental Christians are discouraged from doing good works if they cannot prove that they do it from a "changed" heart as if the doer can present a piece of paper to the teacher or preacher showing that their hearts have been changed. When we practice altruism (Book of James) - works toward God, it is to God that the service is rendered and it is to us that God renders the reward. The good we do outwardly toward God (Humanity) is rendered back to us as spiritual peace (spiritual satisfaction, time in the secret closet) at day's end. As we lie upon our bed the Spirit of all Good daily takes us back over our life for that day; as we reflect upon the deeds, thoughts, and attitudes that ruled our day. We will get confirmation of either well done or work to be done. It is being in agreement (cahoots) with the Light that gives us peace.

When we have that peace, we seek light and help with those feelings of discontentment, bottled energy, restlessness, boredom that we become aware of. We are rewarded with Devine revelation of what we need to do in any particular thing, and for our acceptance of our part in it. Revelation from the Knower within us is our "sleeping pill" for the night's rest with the eager anticipation that we will be better persons tomorrow to better serve Humanity: those struggling for no fault and for fault, awake (the lighted way) and asleep (in materialism), which, according to the Master Jesus Christ, is our duty to do.
