I’m Ready, balanced, in stillness and flows

Ready, to stand free and clear, in my wholeness and change

I’m ready, ready to seek you and listen, with a calm mind and an open heart

Ready, ready to see you, hear you in a new way, in every way, every day.

Ready

This is how we spend our days, our moments, those magical, mystical, magnetic moments-whether we gain consciousness of them and regardless of where the loci of control and responsibility truly exist.

Fixed and Free the Yogic Stillpoint where interfaces with continuum exist and we get to exercise power of choice to participate in Unity, Mutuality, and Harmony, or chose or go the way of the darkside, or to wait for the inspiration to help us send out a growth shoot, push the edge.

Grounding with mother earth and connecting to father sky is the beginning and the end in the process of being energetic, balanced, and flowing.

Once one can obtain their balance they feel their boundary in their wholeness, their holiness, and they have parameters for filling or black holes into which certain substantive energies can flow, since they “fit the bill.”

So we are fixed and free to be fixers.   Both actors and authors, in co-creation where there is only two pilgrimages that matters, the one to self understanding, especially of flows and boundaries of energies, and the pilgrimage toward co-creating a better more loving world.

It is important to realize that because of Grace and Free Will there can be not ultimate completion or destiny, only temporal still points where we are both fixed and free.

So as much as I may love someone or something, I will not merely ingratiate myself by telling them only what they want to hear. I know they will selectively attend, edit, ignore, even be repelled by some of what I may say or do, and we all can rationalize and be blind to the point that it appears we lie to ourselves and/or others. All I can do is keep my intent towards promoting health, and accept consequences that I know are likely when I am choosing tough love over inaction.

So, tough love is sometimes exactly what a situation calls for especially when a delicate plant or animal is involved and I see them getting “screwed blued and tattooed,” “bewildered, bamboozeled, brainwashed, invaded and dominated,” drained of their Kundalini and they don’t even see it, since they are either underdeveloped or simply phased out, mesmerized, or in a trance-dance, wondering why are things going badly for them in ways.

Oh I have heard on the battlefield of love, to the victor go the spoils, but I say capture is not really great for most living beings, and I don’t even thing anesthetizing them or doping them with sex, drugs, rock and roles, property and power plays or even romance is appropriate.   If that is all you are about then you are not a conscious lover of any souls but your own, and maybe not even that if you take a balanced long view.

If you really love someone, you do set them free and empower them to be the best they can be; not just what you want them to be. From my chair, the world does not need another captured housewife, it needs yogi freedom fighters, Jedi Masters like Yoda.

Yoga for me is a spirit, fixed and free, and has the wisdom of balance while taking the long view into future consequences for both self and all others. Yoda is in me and in you, from time to time, but then we can lose total connection and get used, abused, taken over, and wind up blind, short-sighted, and a captive housewife fantasizing that our baby will somehow be the next Jesus or something else. One more romance-aholic in a nest, instead of Yogaholic at their best.

So we have a Consciousness movement, a Divine Feminine movement, the Aquarian Age movement, but some people “exchange a walk on part in in the war for a lead role in a cage. (Pink Floyd)”   Like Karl Marx used to say, revolt, you have nothing to lose but your chains. Oh well, Max Weber taught us we build our own cages, so tend them well internally and externally.   While every form of refuge has it’s price; for me in the long run it is better to live free or die.

All I have to say is be whole, healthy, and promote health and wholeness, balance and good results in the internal and external gardens.   Do not delude yourself and abdicate all responsibility to the will of God, since we all have free will, and choices and consequences.

I believe the better teaching is: Do not capture one another, free each other, and do not become simple headonists.   In my view, the planet is suffering from too much of this, we need a change, so be well, be fixed and free.

Will you avoid camouflage or smoke screens and trust me long enough to test me to see if I am trustworthy?

Will you share with me your fundamental truths, your answers, your keys, without fear or desire, or expectation?

Will you try and bridge the distance between your world and mine long enough to meet at our boundaries and to share in many fields in many ways?

Will you tell me who you are, what you are about, and what you will do to promote your idea of heaven on Earth?

Will you tell me of your many wounds, the gifts in them, and how they have come to make you who you are?

Will you tell me what you value, what drives you forward, repels you and attracts you?

Will you tell me how and where you want to grow, transform, and how you define health?

Will you be your brothers keeper?

Will you tell me what you find worth fighting for, worth living for, and worth dying for?

Will you teach me your love language, what love looks like to you in body, mind, spirit?

Will you listen to me, while I reciprocate?

Will you hang-in, when you want to run, resist charge, and bare the unbearable for life?

Will you share your life and dreams and then let it all go, when the time is right?

Will you release what and whom you love without guilt or resentment?

Will you love and promote all to their highest and best?

Do you want be free and clear?

Will you work, and hurt, think, pray and fast, to unleash your and anothers potential?

Will you eat only what is necessary, pray for what is true, and love in ways you do not presently know?

Will you treat everyone and everything as a potential teacher, sustain curiosity, sustain integration?

Will you share your heart, mind, soul and breath with me, and let me share mine with you?

Will you meet me in shadow and light, forgive wrong and right, suspend judgment, suspend time?

Will you accept radical self responsibility, and the certainty that inside the river of love is a river of tears?

Will you travel with me in, between, and beyond rivers to the Oceans and Seas?

Will you promise to tend and weed the garden of yOUR soul and of yOUR relationships?

Will you trade your comforts and heros and friends for ghosts or uncertainty?

Will you do all of these things with no guarantees, no alibis, no ulterior motives, no back-up plans or alternatives, and no guile or protections?

Do you want to heal and be well?

Will you heal and be healed?

Will you accept that sometimes a yoke can be so light that you need to keep checking to see if you are under it?

Will you practice two prayers” “Thank you” and “help,” and accept inundation and abandonment?

Will you do all of this, and believe I will?

Skinny Path.  It makes me laugh…. It’s the skinny.  It’s the path.

Gaining solitary focus; instead of shedding wrath.

Souls having a human experience, as they struggle with the mind; struggle to not make the mind their master, their identity, or time; and struggle even harder in approaching the divine.

We always knew, one time through; The skinny is the truth, and as we grow, we come to know, the ego’s stuck in youth.

5 year old ego’s, up to any age, if you let it be you’re master, then you will need a cage.

The mind’s a trap, if you need a map to shut it off or focus.  Questions of control, questions of responsibility, all for you to choose their locus.  Therein lies your spirituality, degrees of freedom in your time.

Billions struggling to control their minds-meditation, medication, things sublime-and they still only can control  it,  part of the time.

Only one way to succeed, which is to remember you are a soul that has a mind, body and spirits to attend to or ignore; and that you are different, willing different than before.

Every present is a gift, a chance to embrace love and grace that forgives the race, and all that flow through it.  Jesus knew, Muhammad too, we followed, or we blew it.

It’s a skinny path, with no baggage which is best, you can flow right through, and your mind can rest. Good enough if you did your best, and have a clean conscience.

Remember, lasting peace and happiness do not come out of a bottle, a tin, or a wrapper, nor even spouses.  They come from walking the skinny path, without baggage or attachment to outcomes.  (Willowaterpoetry copyright 12 Sep 16)  Yogimark.com
