if your only doing it with half your heart
you might as well just stop

only what you put your heart into fully
will propel you towards the top

and isn't that where we all want to be?
to experience ourselves at our peaks

so that we can reach a hand down below
and pick up any weary traveler that seeks

self discipline is the key
to advancing spiritually

by practicing what you know
through demonstrating you show

you will be known by your fruits
from the crown down to your roots

if your life is to be beneficial
don't hide your light under a bushel

the light we are moving in a circle
the light gets more bright each time around

the light is the whitest light that one could ever see
the light's made of our harmony of sound

the light is here to offer you a healing
the light is here to show how much we care

the light's made of a love of the highest purity
the light is what our hearts were made to share

it slides along filing unsung melodies into redundant seemingly non-existent memories
extracting these while facing east been pacing, heart racing, feasting on Satan's rations
impatient with physical slavery undoubtedly doubt is devastating the
state in which i'm incanting mystic demonstrations,
elaborating on the savoury flavour of communal fervour
merging, synergizing visions with active motive, tantra yoga
crystallizing, desiring the twinning yet finding alignment to the divine assignment
the spine refines crude serpentine spiralling,
finding the mind is the eye of Otin smiling wide trying to describe the ride inside
the scribe is alive basking in silence undivided attention may be the requirement
for that sweet transfer inspiring expulsion profusely
live like wired in, circuitry designed to supply a system of optimum capacitance, cause resistors getting violent
so press on if the inquisitor is pious cause the inquisition is endless
and the vageries of mind relentless
in unknowing finding solace

i am all but burnt down to ashes
this phoenix is ready to rise and fly

but before any of that can happen
the old must be buried and let die

when we don't carry the weight of the past
our bright futures begin to pull us forward

the great heartbeat of the eternal now
is the source all creation is moving toward

some of the poetry put to music...enjoy

straight from the core of pacha mama below
comes a stream of energy in unlimited flow

how will you meet this manna that enters your feet?
your love and joy for life determines if it stays replete

if relationships are in good standing than it goes unimpeded
if there is conflict with any than from there it gets depleted

the answer to all disharmony is to bring it to the center
into the heart where you ask for forgiveness to enter

here one finds true wholeness...here one is healed
here one is vulnerable...here one puts down their shield

up to the throat where honest communication takes place
songs sung solely to lift the cheeks of a beloved's face

shooting out the crown the stream continues flowing
our gift back to the creator as experience turns to knowing

there is energy streaming continuously from our finger tips
love keeps the channel open while fear creates an eclipse

when i'm feeling these blissful vibes
love bursts forth from my insides

i see it reflected upon your eyes
love given freely just multiplies

what is love but the freedom to be?
this moment don't need no apology

living in the freshness that we call now
life is as delicious as raw cacao

live right here in the moment
don't delay your happiness
'cause right now contains bliss

to seek outside of here is too far
the love we keep on searching for's
precisely what we are

the destiny of man is to shine
we're a holographic image
of the sacred and divine

don't lose touch with reality
we're much more than this surface
shell of personality

the floodgates are open
the river is rushing

the canvas of each day
awaits your paint brushing

what do you dream of?
how can you bring it closer?

if everything is music
guess who's the composer?

Quote:Have you ever considered a mirror itself instead of just peering into the reflection?

When looking into a mirror, what is seen is a distortion - it is an illusion, it is maya.

Just notice the mirror itself.

The images which appear in the mirror - the reflections - come and go but the mirror remains the same.

Just be the mirror.

Be the flame that doesn't waver in the storm.

Quote:I am All.
I am everything, there is nothing else - there is only I.
You are a part of me. I am you.
I respect you because I respect myself.


~Brad Karr, Meditation (2013)

Quote:Within each moment, we are either ascending or descending, so to speak. We are either becoming more mindful or more mindless, more human or more machine-like, more radiant or more dull. The only possibility is to move; stillness is an illusion.

And yet, because there is only movement, because there is only change and no other possibility, there is ultimately no such thing as movement, because nothing ever truly changes.

The wheel simply turns with nowhere to reach.

☸


~Brad Karr, The Wheel Simply Turns (2013)

Quote:The flowers blossom.
Learning the art of being.
Light rains upon them.

❀

Walking through the storm.
Rain falls wherever it may.
Nothing personal.

☂

The birds sing their song.
The rivers flow like music.
Life dances with her.

♁

Green fades to yellow.
One by one all the leaves fall.
Yet the tree still lives!

☥

Snow sparkles and shines.
Only to dissolve away.
The clouds weep softly.

❅

Living is dying.
Two sides of a single coin.
No sweet, no sour.

☯

Quote:How many must bleed in the name of greed?
Like fire it feeds yet the light's unseen.
When will we be free from the machine?
This is my dream; a nightmare, it seems.

Quote:Lord, please, help me make way.
What has to happen for you to come today?
No matter what the price is, I'll pay. I'll lay
brick by brick, 'til your path is paved.

is in requirement of inspiring close companionships
unspoken thus broken oaths choke, cloaked in smoke
flying so low solo en hydro in the silo saying
Universe guide this thought form manifested,
allow It the will to be Real and unveil wounds infested
so We can exalt the Supreme Being that We are in reverence,
together dropping new testaments to endless excellence

the subtlest of the subtle
silence has no rebuttal

forever its truth will shine
for that is the grand design

to its essence we all align
what could be more benign?

only what's permanent can rest
make yourself at home in its nest

the earth feeds us love
with an inexhaustible supply

without this source of nourishment
not a single creature would get by

we owe our lives to this mother
of which we are each a child

let not one day reach its end
where your praises haven't been filed

she deserves so much respect
but what does she get in return?

we've been through this in atlantis
it's high time that we learn

the only way forward is together
there's no room for being elite

the global heart now awakens
as the ego takes the backseat

don't lose touch with the depths of your being
there's much more to life than the surface we are seeing

beneath all the waves full of change and commotion
there you can rest in the purest of emotion

a peace that is steady...that doesn't come and go
a love that is ready...that only wants to grow

a joy that is thrilling...that shines from the heart
a will that is willing...that plays perfectly its part

one is always in one's essence
this presence...this quintessence

there is nowhere else one can be
here is where all existence is free

if you are in any form of doubt
may this affirm your way out

not yesterday, tomorrow nor today
this 'i amness' i speak of has no delay

the immediacy of being is timeless
the supreme silence is rhymeless

discard every single notion
dissolve the drop into the ocean

disregard the memories of the past
consciousness is that which lasts

your primordial nature is joy
disidentify with the ego's ploy

what does look like to you?
what does sound like to you?
what does feel like to you?
perception makes things seem true

what does taste like to you?
what does smell like to you?
what does act like to you?
intention helps dreams come true

you can let your past choices define you
or you can start fresh like the morning dew

repeat the same old patterns...begin something new
weigh each out with your heart...which feels more true

layers of conditioning is all that's in the way
kick them to the curb...don't let them hold sway

only you can create the life that you dream of
it starts by acknowledging one's essence as love

only from within can that spark ever spread
live today as if tomorrow you may be dead

compliment each other...see the twinkle in all eyes
regain your magical vision like chasing fire flies

be open to transformation...whatever that entails
leave bread crumbs of kindness to mark your trails

keep a calm mind...where your heart on your sleeve
forgive every situation...even your biggest pet peeve

when ever weren't we together?
seems like never and yet at times regret got the better
I've resolved to absolve the anger by understanding
The catalyst presented by the veil of forgetting
the majesty of the Infinite Unity
cause this life felt like twas killin me
but that's the ass-backwards ideology of duality
where you and me had not equality

now I see there's no necessity for apology
only the deepest honest sincerity
you see I punctured this wound constantly
because it was obvious to feel your positivity
only present now when the heart is resonating at these frequencies
the second spiral of green-ray universal accepting energy
praying one day to be blessed by your physical presence, what is the difference..?
I mean this experience can be ever so intimate

just remember I'm an instrument of affectionate diligence
who wishes to pay back his healer in ever-increasing increments
cause we like near-mirror images
sexual transfers at a distance
though I have missed this
each moment is filled with this glorious essence
blessed from earth to heaven, one Self sometimes seems like two or seven

no matter how far one zooms in
no matter as of yet has been found

at each level of the cosmic fractal
the mystery of life does astound

what seems so solid to the touch
is the interaction of fields of energy

we're made mostly of empty space
and organisms working in synergy

suddenly you'll find yourself floating into the sky
that will be the day others will say that you did die

little did they know that you were ready to say good-bye
now you have the ability to shape shift and to fly

in the astral realms of thought there is much that we can do
one can change the color of their skin from pink to blue

travel back in time to re-experience life anew
the only thing that doesn't change is the i am that is you

i don't need your approval
i don't need your validation

the peace i feel inside my heart
i take as confirmation

i don't need to be loved
i don't need your understanding

the joy i feel is as effortless
as the universe expanding
