THE FEATHER

THE FEATHER THAT HAD LAIN SO LONG
PRESSED INTO THE PAGES
OF AN OLD MUSTY BOOK


I PLACED THE FEATHER IN MY HAND
AND STRANGE VIBRATIONS WERE FELT THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE BODY-
I WAS NOT QUITE SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING.



THE ENERGY STARTED TO PULSE INTO MY FINGERTIPS AND MY HAND BECAME WARM AND THEN HOT.
AS I LOOKED AT MY HAND ,THE FINGERS STARTED TO CURL AROUND THE FEATHER AND THERE WAS A SENCE OF SERENITY AND PEACE WHICH FLOWED THROUGH AND OUT OF ME.
THE ILLUSION OF THE REALITY BECAME THE REALITY OF THE ILLUSION.

THE EMERGENCE & THE SPREAD........

FROM THE DARKEST CAVE EMERGES THE SEED OF AN IDEA, SHAKY AT FIRST, BLINDED BY THE OMNIPRESENT LIGHT, IT STARTS TO PREPARE ITSELF FOR THE ONSLAUGHT, THAT IT KNOWS WILL BE WAITING ON THE ON THE PERIMETERS, OF THE PARAMETERS, WHILE STANDING TALL, IT TAKES IN THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD, WITH COLOURS THAT HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN ENVISAGED, SIGHTS NEVER BEFORE IMAGINED AND THE SMELLS, THE GLORIOUS AROMAS, THAT HAD BEEN KEPT FOR EONS IN THE MEMORY BANKS OF A LONG FORGOTTEN LIFE TIME, WHICH ALTERNATED WITH THE FACES OF GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES, WHO HAD NEVER WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD, AS THE THOUGHT PROCESS AND CONCEPT WAS FOREIGN, WHILE NEARBY THE WILDLIFE GATHERED IN EXPECTANT GLEE, AS THEY HAD NEVER BEEN WITNESS TO THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW ENTITY, WHO IN TURN WOULD HAVE TO GUIDE ALL THROUGH THE COMING TIMES OF CHALLENGE, WHICH WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY CHANGE THE COURSE OF MANY LIVES, BY THE MERE FACT, THAT AT EACH CROSSROADS REACHED, REQUIRED A DECISION, WHICH ENCOMPASSED A LOT MORE THAN ONESELF, AND IN THE MOMENT OF THE MOMENT, THERE APPEARED THIS ANDROGYNOUS ENTITY WALKING, SLOWLY AT FIRST, AND AS EACH STEP WAS MADE, THE SOUND THAT EMANATED FROM THE FOOTFALL WAS ONE OF SERENITY, PEACE AND NOTHINGNESS, AND THE PARADIGM SHIFT THAT PASSED OVER EVERY LIVING THING, WAS TANGIBLE, AS THE ENERGY FIELD STARTED TO BUILD, AND ALL THINGS ANIMATE AND INANIMATE, WERE MOLECULARLY AFFECTED IN A WAY WHICH NONE IMAGINED, WHILE THE SOUNDS OF THE ANIMALS AND THEN THE PEOPLE, WERE, ONE'S OF COMPLETE HARMONY, AND AS IT SPREAD OUT AND MOVED ON AND TOUCHED ALL THAT WAS IN IT'S PATH, SO TOO , DID THE THINGS THAT WERE TOUCHED, SET UP ANOTHER RESONANCE, TO EVENTUALLY COVER ALL

QUESTIONS............THOUGHTS...........

ON THE TREADMILL AND IN THE CONFINES OF MY OWN MIND THERE ARE ALWAYS THE QUESTIONS........THE THOUGHTS .........AND SOMETIMES THERE APPEARS AN ANSWER.........MAYBE !!


*HOW OFTEN DO YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF ?

*ARE YOU STUCK IN THE MEDIOCRITY OF AN ILLUSION OF YOUR OWN MAKING?

*YOUR WORLD IS AS SAFE AS THE CONFINES OF THE PARAMETERS OF YOUR OWN MIND!

*DO YOU ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR AS THE VINE WITHERS AND DIES !

*EATING THE SEED AND BREAKING THE CYCLE !

*RELOCATION TO PARADISE IS A MERE PERCEPTION !

* ARE THE DREAMS OF FEAR INDUCED PARANOIA STRONGER THAN THE DREAMS OF INTENTION, PURPOSE AND SELFLESS FULFILLMENT ?

*IS THE TRUTH DEPENDANT ON YOUR VIEWPOINT?

*IF YOUR VIEWPOINT IS SHARED BY OTHERS , DOES THAT MAKE IT TRUE ?

*IF YOUR TRUTH IS THE WHOLE, WHO IS DISCARDED AND LEFT OUT OF YOUR REALITY ?

*IF ATTACKED, WOULD YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOUR REALITY, OR DOES IT STAND UP AND LET ITSELF BE KNOWN THROUGH ACTIONS, RATHER THAN WORDS.

*WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE TRUE------WHO DOES IT SERVE ?

* DO YOU INSPIRE OTHERS BY BEING SELFLESS OR SELFISH ?

* IS WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO!

ARE THE DEFINING MOMENTS IN ONE'S LIFE SEEN AS PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES?

*HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO FORGET WHO YOU ARE ?

*IF THE EMPTINESS IS STILL THERE, TRY AND GAIN NEW PERSPECTIVE AND UNDERSTANDING !

* DO THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR PERSPECTIVE LIMIT YOUR VIEWS ?

*DO YOU ENJOY A VEILED REALITY OF THE WORLD VIEW ?

*HOW FAR ARE YOU WITH YOUR MISSION ON EARTH ?

*ARE THE SIGNS ON THE PATH EASY TO DECIPHER ?

*IS THE PATH THAT YOU TRAVEL ABLE TO ENHANCE YOUR OWN AUTHENTICITY AND TRUTH ?

*ARE THE BOUNDARIES THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO CROSS BASED ON MORALITY OR FEAR ?

* HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO LOSE YOUR AMNESIAC STATE OF MIND ?

*TO WHAT DEPTHS ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL, TO DISCOVER THE UNIVERSAL ESSENCE ?

*WHAT SACRIFICES ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE TO LIVE IN THE LIGHT ?

*IF YOU ARE STUCK AND MIRED IN AN UNPRODUCTIVE LIFE, LACKING WHOLENESS------WHAT IS IT THAT SHOULD BE DRIVING YOU ?

*WHAT ARE THE ENERGIES THAT YOU HOLD ONTO ?

*ARE YOU ABLE TO INITIATE A HEALING PROCESS ?

*ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP ?

ARE YOU ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION OR IS THE DECISION BEING FORCED ON YOU BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT YOU FEEL ?

IS THERE ROOM FOR BELIEF AND FAITH IN THIS TECHNOLOGICAL CHAOTIC WORLD?


TO HAVE FAITH AND BELIEF IS TO BE IN A POSITIVE CREATIVE FRAMEWORK.
IT IS NOT THE END GOAL, BUT A MEANS AND A PROCESS TO ALIGN ONESELF WITH THE ALL ENCOMPASSING GREATER ENERGY.
THE CHOICES THAT ARE FACED BY ONE ARE IMPORTANT AS THEY ALLOW THE INDIVIDUAL SPIRIT TO PICK OUT WHAT IS BEST.
TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES IS TO BE IN TOUCH WITH ONESELF , BEING AUTHENTIC, ACTING WITH INTEGRITY, TO DISCOVER WHAT THE PURPOSE OF ONE'S LIFE IS.

THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE DUALITY OF LIVING IN TWO WORLDS----THE PHYSICAL AND THE SPIRITUAL.
WHEN ONE IS ABLE TO EMBRACE THE PHYSICAL WORLD WITH A SPIRITUAL OVERVIEW, THERE IS THE REALISATION OF THE ILLUSION OF THE REALITY AND THEN THE DUALITY AND THE PUSH- ME- PULL- ME DISSIPATE.

THE OTHER DUALITY IS BETWEEN THE ESSENCE OF WHO ONE IS AND THE HOLISTIC PICTURE OF HOW ONE FITS IN WITH ALL ELSE, WHILE STILL IMPLEMENTING WHAT ONE LEARNS IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM, BACK INTO THE PHYSICAL.

IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF EITHER GIVING OR TAKING.

IT IS A TWO WAY OSMOTIC PROCESS WHICH RELIES ON THE FLOW OF ENERGIES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE ENERGIES THAT ONE IS PASSING ARE THE ONLY ONE'S.
ONE SHOULD BE IN THE POSITION OF BEING ABLE TO REPLENISH ONE'S OWN ENERGIES WITHOUT DRAINING ANOTHER OF THEIR ENERGY.

*ARE YOU THE BEACON AND THE STANDARD BEARER OR JUST THE PASSIVE PASSENGER IN YOUR OWN LIFE?

THE CHOICE ALWAYS RESIDES WITH THE INDIVIDUAL !

THE SEA OF LIFE...............

IN THE SEA OF LIFE
A MOMENT OF QUIETNESS AND SOLITUDE
A RECHARGING
A RE APPRAISAL
AN EPIPHANY
A SERENITY OF SPIRIT
A RE EMERGENCE
AN EVOLUTION

A PLACE IN THE SUN..........

SUBLIMATING ONESELF TO THE WONDROUS EFFERVESCENCE OF LIFE.TELLTALE ILLUSTRATIONS LINGER SOMEWHAT BELATEDLY, WAXING AND WANING.
CAUGHT IN THE TWILIGHT LIGHT,LECHEROUSLY AND LASCIVIOUSLY, CRAVING FOR IT TO STAY AND NEVER GO AWAY.

A THORN TREE FORLORNLY AT THE ROADSIDE, WANTONLY EXPOSING ITSELF TO A PASSING MOTORIST,ONCE A MONTH, IF IT IS LUCKY.

THE DICE ARE ROLLED AS THE CAT'S EYES SHINE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, BEYOND THE GLITZ, BEYOND THE GLAMOUR,BEYOND THE IMAGINATION.

WILDLY GESTICULATING IN A SEA OF FRESH POPPIES, STAINED WITH A DELICATE RED LEAF AND LEFT TO GROW AMONGST THE WEEDS.

IN THE VAPID HEAT OF A MIDDAY SUN, HALLUCINATORY WAVES ASSAIL THE SENSES.
THE DRY HEAT ATTACKS THE NOSTRILS, DRYING ANY MEMORY OF THE MUCOUS, THAT ONCE INHABITED THOSE NOBLE ORIFICES.

THE VISION BECOMES GRITTY AS EACH BLINK CAUSES PAIN TO RADIATE ACROSS THE PEELING SKIN OF THE TEMPLES AND THE FOREHEAD.

AS THE MOUTH LOSES IT'S MOISTURE,THE TONGUE FEELS LIKE AN UNINVITED GUEST IN A AMOROUS LIAISON, WHILE THE THROAT SWELLS WITH AN AUDIENCE APPLAUSE FOR THE DRYNESS.

THE HAPPIEST OCCUPANTS ARE THE ONE'S THAT HAVE ADAPTED TO THE ELEMENTS.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN EACH ONE OF US DOES NOT HAVE AN EON TO EVOLVE.

THE PRESSURE TO ADAPT AND BE FLEXIBLE IS ENORMOUS.
LIVING IN THE MOMENT IS A DEFINITE ADVANTAGE.

FACED WITH AN EXTREME, THE OF AN END IS NOT IN SIGHT.

AS THE SECONDS, THE MINUTES, THE HOURS ROLL BY---TIME IS THE ISSUE.

EMBRACING TIME FOR WHAT ONE THINKS THAT IT IS AND LETTING IT DICTATE THE RESULT DUE TO WHAT ONE THINKS ONE KNOWS, IS ALWAYS DEBATABLE.

TO FOCUS ONE'S ENERGY ON THE SITUATION AT HAND, WHERE FOR THOSE MOMENTS THERE IS NO TIME----ALL THAT IS RELEVANT IS NOT LINEAR, BUT LATERAL.

EXTENDING AND EXPANDING THE MIND, WITHOUT A DETRIMENTAL OUTCOME, ALLOWS ONE THE SPACE TO FOCUS AND MAINTAIN THE CLARITY OF WHAT EXISTS IN THE PRESENT.

AS THE SUN SLOWLY FALLS AND SINKS FROM THE SKY, THE GROUND AND IT'S OCCUPANTS ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE RESPITE FROM THE HEAT OF THE DAY.

THE LAST VESTIGES OF THE GOLDEN ORB DISAPPEAR BENEATH THE HORIZON AND THE TIME IS NEAR FOR THE INVISIBLE INHABITANTS TO COME OUT AND FORAGE.

THE DARKNESS BRINGS WITH IT, IT'S OWN FEARS.

IN THE TWILIGHT LIGHT, THE LIGHT PLAYS TRICKS ON THE EYES.

IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR US TO SEE WHAT IS NOT, OR IS IT.

THE SHADOWS START TO DETACH THEMSELVES FROM THEIR PREVIOUS HOSTS AND FOR THAT MOMENT AND THEN ANOTHER, THEY SEEM TO BE DANCING.

IS THIS JUST THE MIND THAT IS PLAYING TRICKS OR IS THERE THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING.

IT WOULD ALL DEPEND ON HOW ONE WAS TO SEE WHAT EXISTS AND HOW IT EXISTS.

IF ALL IS JUST AN OBJECT, THEN THIS WOULD NOT BE PLAUSIBLE.

IF EACH OBJECT HAS AN ENERGY, THEN EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOONLIGHT THE TREES STRETCH AND EXPAND THEIR ENERGY COCOONS.

IS THE DARKNESS JUST THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT OR THE OPPOSITE OF LIGHT?

WE VIEW THE DARKNESS AS NIGHT TIME,YET CERTAIN ANIMALS ARE ABLE TO SEE IN THE SO CALLED DARKNESS.

ARE WE ABLE TO JUDGE PURELY BY THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR OWN SENSES AND MINDS.

IT WOULD BE ARROGANT TO BELIEVE, JUST BECAUSE WE ARE AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN IN THE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ALL.

THE MISTAKE OF JUDGING OTHERS, THROUGH A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, OF WHO THEY ARE AND BY THE LIMITED PARAMETERS OF OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE.

TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE THREADS AND THE PATTERNS IN HUMANITY, IS A DISASTER IN THE MAKING.

TO BE UNWILLING TO SEE THE COMMONALITY OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS, IS TO BELIEVE THAT , THROUGH THE LASER LIKE PERCEPTION ALL THAT ONE ENCOUNTERS THAT IS DIFFERENT, IS A THREAT.

TO EMBRACE THE DIFFERENCES AND MOVE AWAY FROM INDIVIDUAL POINTS OF VIEW AND INCORPORATE A MORE HOMOGENEOUS STATE OF THINKING.

PLACING ALL BEINGS IN THE GREATER CONTEXT OF WHAT EACH ENTITY IS AND HOW IT INCORPORATES ITSELF IN THE WHOLE, DOES NOT TAKE AWAY THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THAT ENTITY.

JUDGING A PERSON WITH A LABEL, IN THE NARROW SENSE OF UNDERSTANDING, IS TO TAKE AWAY THAT INDIVIDUALITY.

PERCEPTIONS OF WHAT ONE IS, BEYOND THE OBVIOUS LABELS OF GENDER, COLOUR, RELIGION, POLITICS ARE THE MOST DEFINING.

ESTABLISHING ONE'S OWN SPIRITUALITY AND INDIVIDUAL PURPOSE GOES A LONG WAY IN EMPOWERING SELF AND IN BEING ABLE TO ACT AS A CATALYST IN EMPOWERING OTHERS.

IN THE COOLNESS OF THE NIGHT, THERE IS ALWAYS THE OPPORTUNITY TO FACE THE FEARS OF THE IMAGINATION.
HOW SUCCESSFUL ONE IS, IS DEPENDANT ON WHAT ONE BRINGS TO BEAR IN THE SITUATION, HOW COMMITTED ONE IS TO THE PROGRESS BEYOND ONE'S PRESENT PARAMETERS AND AWARENESS, AND THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO TACKLE THE EMOTIONALITY OF ONE'S OWN BEING AND HOW THAT AFFECTS LIVING IN THE MOMENT.

WILLINGNESS, CURIOSITY AND INTENTION ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK TO WORK WITH, AND BEYOND WHAT ONE THOUGHT ONE IS AND IN THE PRESENT, TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE POTENTIAL OR KNOW THAT IT IS THERE, IF ONLY ONE WOULD GIVE IT A CHANCE.

AS THE COOLNESS OF THE ROCK UNDER MY NECK SOOTHES MY THROBBING HEAD, IT IS IN THE EXPANSIVENESS OF THE SKY THAT TAKES MY BREATH AWAY.
EYES SLOWLY START TO DE FOCUS AND AS I FALL ASLEEP, I ARISE FROM THE COOL EARTH TO SEE ALL THE DANCING LIGHTS AND ENERGY SPIRALS, WHICH ARE INVITING ME TO PARTAKE IN THEIR SACRED RITUAL DANCE OF THE NIGHT.

I JOIN AND MERGE WITH ALL THE ENERGIES PRESENT AND REALISE THAT AS MY BODY RESTS, I HAVE TRANSCENDED THE BARRIERS AND BOUNDARIES THAT EXIST BETWEEN MY REALITY AND ALL OTHERS.

THIS THEN IS THE DANCE TO STOP THE WORLD FOR AN INSTANT, WHICH COULD LAST AN TO INFINITY.

I RELISH THE THOUGHT AND THE KNOWINGNESS OF SEEING, NOT ONLY MYSELF AS THE INDIVIDUAL, BUT THE SPIRIT, AND IT'S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE.

MOMENTS........ONE BY ONE.....

WHITE SHEETS
FLAPPING IN A UNDULATING BREEZE
BLUES AND PURPLES
SHIMMERING

A EUPHONY OF FOOTFALLS
A MOVEMENT
LIKE A WAVE ON COBBLESTONES

A TEAR
FALLS GENTLY
ECHOING
ON A DUST FILLED PANORAMA

A PREVAILING PEACE
ENSUES
CAUGHT
IN THE ENERGISED FIRMAMENT
OF LIFE

THE BLUE SKY HAND

 
IN THE REALMS OF INFINITY
EVERYTHING IS A POSSIBILITY
AS LONG AS THE SELF IMPOSED PARAMETERS
ARE LOST
ALL CAN BE FOUND

TRAVELLING................

 
THE ROAD ONE TRAVELS IS SOMETIMES NOT AS IT SEEMS TO BE...

TOUCH.................

 
IN THE EXPLORATION OF TOUCH
TO FEEL
TO SENSE
TO BE.....

IN THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT....................

IN THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT, THERE IS DARKNESS, A PERVASIVE OPPRESSION TO THE SENSES,WHEN THE FEAR FACTOR IS HIGH AND THE SELF ESTEEM LOW.

SUCCUMBING TO THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT, EXTERNALLY AND INTERNALLY, IS THE COPING MECHANISM OF THE SENTIENT BEING, TO DELAY THE ONCOMING FREIGHT TRAIN OF UPENDED PAIN, WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE GUT AND PROPELS ITSELF, TO OVERWHELM ALL THE SENSES AND SENDS ONE INTO PAROXYSMS OF DOUBT AND NEGATIVITY, WHILE IN THE PROCESS THE IMMOBILISATION OF THE HUMAN BEING, SPREADS IT'S TENTACLES TO EVERY ASPECT OF ONE'S LIFE.

BEING PRESENT IN ONE'S LIFE AND NOT BEING A PASSENGER, LEADS ONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STIMULUS AND THE EMOTIONAL CONTENT OF ONE'S LIFE.

TO BE PRESENT ALLOWS ONE TO BE THE MATADOR IN THE BULL RING OF ONE'S LIFE.

FACE THE BULL OF DARKNESS IN ONE'S OWN LIFE OR TREMBLE WITH FEAR AND BRING THOSE FEARS TO THE SURFACE, BY MANIFESTING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT MECHANISM COMES TO THE FORE.
WHERE THE MIND IS CONCERNED THERE IS NO FLIGHT.
USING THE ADRENALIN BUILD UP TO TAKE THE OFFENSIVE POSITION, WHERE ONE DECIDES ONCE AND FOR ALL, WHO ONE IS, WHAT ONE IS AND WHERE ONE WOULD LIKE TO BE.

THE BATTLE THAT ONE IS ABOUT TO PURSUE IS A DICHOTOMY.
IT IS NOT A BATTLE OF VIOLENCE---IT IS A BATTLE OF PEACE, TO REGAIN THE WHOLENESS.
TO BE ABLE TO SOLIDIFY ONE'S INTENTIONS AND TAKE THE STEPS ONE BY ONE.

NOT ALL WILL WORK OUT THE WAY THAT YOU THOUGHT OR INTENDED.

BEING IN THE PRESENT IS AN AID TO BE ABLE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION AS IT UNFOLDS.
SOMETIMES A VERY SMALL STEP FORWARD, COULD BE THE TURNING POINT AND THE STEPPING STONE.
WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THAT STEP AND OVERTHINKING THE POSSIBLE RESULTS OF THE ACTION, WILL LET ONE SLIDE INTO A STATE OF OBLIVION.

FOR SOME IT IS THE COMFORTABILITY OF KNOWING THAT IT IS BETTER THE ONE THAT ONE KNOWS AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE.

ONE'S REACTION TO ONE'S LIFE, SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.
THE RESPONSE SHOULD BE AS IF ONE WERE IN AN EARTHQUAKE OR IN A SPREADING FIRE.
THAT IS OF COURSE WITHOUT THE PANIC.

THE FLUTTERING THAT ONE FEELS IN A SITUATION IS THE DOUBT AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN CREEPING IN.

IF THERE IS FOCUS AND NO INTENTION, THEN THE FEELING WILL TAKE OVER.
THIS LEADS TO NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE THE CORRECT CHOICE OR NOT MAKING ANY CHOICE AT ALL.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE FEELING, AN EMOTION AND AN ENERGY, IS HAVING CONVINCED ONESELF THAT THE 'REALITY' OF WHAT IS BEING EXPERIENCED IS THE ONLY TRUTH AND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
THIS IS A CLASSIC STIMULUS AND RESPONSE.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW DOES ONE BREAK THE CYCLE AND WHERE DOES ONE GO FROM THERE.

WHERE THE EMOTIONS ARE CONCERNED NOTHING IS QUITE SO SIMPLE OR CLEAR CUT, UNLESS ONE ENDEAVOURS TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF WORKING TOWARDS SIMPLICITY.

THE HAMSTER WHEEL IS THE MOST INVITING CHOICE.
CARRY ON IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND AS THE WHEEL TURNS, SO DO YOU, OR DO YOU?

THE TEST THAT YOU HAVE REALLY ACHIEVED SOMETHING WITH ONE'S EMOTIONS ARE:
HAS THE SITUATION CHANGED?
HAS THE STIMULUS BEEN RESOLVED ?
HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY FEEL ?
HAS MY PERSPECTIVE CHANGED ?
HAVE MY THOUGHTS CHANGED ?
HAS MY REALITY CHANGED ?
WHEN CONFRONTING A SITUATION, WHAT IS MY GUT REACTION ?
IS THERE STILL THE NERVOUSNESS ?
DID I MAKE ANY COMMITMENT ?
DID I FOLLOW THROUGH ?
DID I IMPLEMENT ANYTHING NEW ?
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY I FELT AND LOOKED AT THINGS AND HOW I FEEEL NOW AND LOOK AT THINGS ?
DID I MOVE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE ?
DO I STILL LABEL MYSELF AS.....?
DO OTHERS STILL LABEL ME AS......?
ARE YOUR OLDEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY STILL SEEING YOU AS THE SAME ?
HAS MY ATTITUDE CHANGED ANYTHING ANYTHING IN MY LIFE ?
DO I FEEL GUILT OR REMORSE ABOUT ANY PREVIOUS OR CURRENT ACTIONS ?HAVE I MADE AMENDS FOR ANYTHING THAT I HAVE FELT GUILTY OR REMORSEFUL ABOUT ?
DO I BELIEVE IN MYSELF ?
DO I LOVE MYSELF WITHOUT THE VANITY ?
HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO TOUCH SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME ? (FIGURATIVELY)
HAVE I RESOLVED THE CAUSAL ENERGY OF THE ISSUES ?


IF ONE IS WILLING TO START ON THIS AND HAS ACCOMPLISHED SOME OR MOST, THEN ONE IS WELL ON THE WAY TO REGAINING WHAT ONE ONCE HAD.

FROM THE DARKNESS TO THE LIGHT----ALWAYS!
