Discovering Thyself

This episode is also available as a blog post: https://imnotgoood21blog.wordpress.com/2023/05/11/words-of-persuasion/ "Their words of persuasion keep souls locked in a cage, and- I can’t help that I want to run, Escaping the future with the loaded gun, The world that I see is a world un-free, Lying to ourselves for society. Crying in the dark when we want to fight, Falling in a hole and we see no light, What we aim to see becomes reality, A soul in the dark is controlled, indeed. Tomorrow doesn’t come until you live today, Live in the present or you will obey, The one’s with their pens hold our lives like keys, Unlock your door to a life that’s free; Awaken your soul to a world of one, Escape from your hell that you’ve overcome, There is no love in a tyrannical state, Follow your heart or consume the hate." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

We ought to pay attention, for we All have something to learn from one another: All of our experiences mold the world into a vast library of stories that all of us humans bare and share, it is the collection of these stories that bind The Book of Life, and the librarian of such book is God. God hath born us unto the world, and watched as we cast our liken of His creation of us to that of our own creations, some of the creations of creation of Man are but pitiful musings of thoughtlessness, and Ego. Yet, as light hearkens God’s modus operandi within the Heart, Man is destined to find it, if He so chooses. So that, if in choosing, Man may create beauty of blissful thoughts and dreams, by following that of His own Heart, and thus, spread them unto the world to further God’s creation. One should preclude to act as God Himself, however, lest He come to onerous judgement; lest He destroy creation altogether. For in Man’s vision, creation may bind into the metamorphosis of disruption. *Creator: God, Writer, Artist, Singer, Actor, Dreamer, Student, Composer, Mother, Father, etc." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

Aiming at the target through His sight, the glory mended with His might, strengthening His soul throughout the shadow growing, in the Night. His logic and planning, His patience and understanding, His landing on His feet brings forth Power, even if He bows down to the knee. For when He sees the beauty of life, He is truly Free. When He finds Love within He, and Love within She, and all of Ye — He is Free." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

Man, the molder of thoughts & plunders of events and acts, reflecting just who He am. Man, the chosen one, self, leader of the Band, among the land Leaving God, rightly, to delay His hand For Man, fighting amongst himself, is hardly trusting of the plan To Be To See Clearly Who and where to place His hand. Drowning in clouds of thoughts Precipitating acid rain And cleaning it up with a mop Frozen, sounding the horn of the train… before he derails himself from the course, And He, in vain.. Man, the answers of seeking, and where, too, do they grow Into the Garden? O, if He’d only know." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

Run fast as the hand hovers over the musings of man, lost in a cloud of thoughts all over the land, wishing, again, for change — but always running from it just the same For change leads to the unknown and it rather grinds like a stone pushing us against the grain pushing us that cling, to remain." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

We awaken in another dimension, having been hooked to a “machine”, although it doesn’t appear to even exist, as in this dimension all beings had risen above their flesh and became what was within. Only, they were all about, they were one, all along. And the “machine” existed only in the figment of the imagination, in the creation of creation… And then the creation closed their eyes to sleep, to Dream, about All the possibilities. Our current dimension being one, but being one that simply doesn’t end well… so we all Wake up, we wake and start again. Onto the New dream. But as time does not exist, but only in our dimension, it’s almost as if nothing ever existed at all." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

The sin is an undeniable truth, the truth of our thoughts and actions that continue to permeate throughout our generations, past and present, and moving onward. There is no way to go back in time to reverse the damage we’ve caused, there is only realizing the truth now and correcting our current path to stop the Hell in the world, and avoid future afflictions. We are all [currently] blessed with the Free Will to Think, and thus, Choose our course. We can create Heaven or Hell with the realization of our power of thoughts, likewise, of our power of collective thoughts. The invisible force is great in power, if only you choose to believe. And if we all believed, then maybe we wouldn’t have to live in a Sin Factory where we’ve heated, boiled, and simmered in our own Hell of suffering." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/discovering-thyself/support

Its path, like a hand, leading you forth Lovingly, truly, surrounding the land Embracing you fully, Whispering soft Lighting the way, And lifting you off. The heart, at its core, is an instrument Its beating is rhythmic The drum beating soft, The song singing to you, The energy, stored The love travels through you Its presence is more. The soul, at its core, is energy The light from within Challenging sin Its place isn’t seen Its purpose is keen. Its path like a trail Travelled so well — Discoveries hidden For those who do look Its pages are written Like that of a book.
