Only When...

Only when one sees the vast limitations of the intellect/brain/mind, that is based on seperateness,
Only when one learns of the automatic physiological consequences (disease) of stressful negatives and selfishness,
Only when one sees the errors of their current way of being,
Only when one is attracted to being kind, compassionate, and selfless,
Only when one questions the validity of one's own perceptions and thought processes,
Only when one is curious about the true nature of reality,
Will one finally surrender to that which is beyond a personal "me", "myself", "mine", or "I".

Tao Te Celery

Celery is my friend
Healthy and low in calories
I could eat it to no end
Provides loads of cellular energy

Some like it with cheez whiz
Some with processed PB
Not so healthy this is
And so it's not for me

Perhaps if it were organic cheese
And without plastic trans fats
It would do more to please
Thanks, but I'll take it without formats

Some don't care about health
Controlled by their senses they are
Searching for external happiness and wealth
They believe it's afar

But if they would just look within
And realize happiness is a choice
Only then they might begin
To renounce and rejoice

Proper nutrition is food for the brain
Mentally and emotionally balanced I become
From the negatives I will abstain
All-knowingness and profound peace are awesome

Never before has one written a poem
Beauty and grace just flows
Closer and closer comes saintdom
For that's what I chose

Most focus on the "me"
Instead of the All
So inner turmoil there will be
This is man's fall

One can only help others
To the level they improve themselves
This celery not only feeds my hungers
It provides wellness for all yourselves

Love That Actually Works

Neediness often pushes other people away.
Love is not greed, possession, owning, attachment, neediness, desire, jealousy, anger, control, or judgementalism.
That which is selfish can't be love because love is selfless.
Love is good intent. Love is service. Love is selfless. Love is trust. Love is respect.
Love is good will. Love is forgiveness. Love is acceptance. Love is unconditional. Love is non-selective.
Relationships "fail" because people are searching outwardly for happiness and love.
We are meant to share and give the happiness and love that we ALREADY ARE, with others.
In doing so, it grows constantly and continuously within the one who is giving and sharing it.
We give and share the happiness and love that we ARE by simply BEING it and sharing it with others.
Love is experienced by being it yourself.
Love is an INFINITE resource. It cannot be exhausted or used up.
The more you give, the more you are able to give.
The more you love, the more you can, and everybody has to start with where they are right now.
It's not about getting. It's about giving with no thought of reward.
Not even a "thank you" should be needed or expected because that's neediness.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
