Miscellaneous Meditations: 19 Random Thoughts

1
Energy

When I die
will someone jump start my battery?
Or doe it run on spiritual energy?

2
Love

Love isn't selfish;
Doesn't seek its own desire;
Or think of its own welfare.

Love's law is renewed in every age;
Means no harm to any creature;
Is the essence of creation.

3
Sacrifice

Drop by drop
A candle spends its life
So that its light may shine.

4
Nothing

Nothing can be achieved without the aid of God.
One achieves nothing by doing nothing.
There is nothing more important then to teach the Cause of God.
Hope achieving nothing without action.
If no mistakes are bing made it means nothing is being done.
Nothing can be achieved without obedience to God's Manifestation.
Good intentions alone achieve nothing.

5
Love

The dawn of a new day,
Rising rosy over hills of gray,

God's eternal light,
Giving hope through the darkest night.

The generating impulse that began creation,
And set the universe in motion.

6
Life's Temple

The foundation stones
of life's temple
are knowledge and obedience.

Experience
is the decorator
that beautifies the rooms.

7
Love and Hate

Love and hate
Walk hand-in-hand
Across burning desert sands

8
Out of the Darkness

Out of the darkness of ancient fears
come the voices of separation;
out of the charcoal depths
of eldritch superstitions
come the whispers of segregation.

9
Other Sheep

Other sheep grazing
In the pastures of other
Creeds Pray in one of God's names

10
Yoga

The world viewed
with the proper attitude
is life in its variegated shades,
chords, and patterns respected:
Mental agitations
terminated.

11
Wine of Oneness

Drink from the cup of faith
The wine of oneness
And see only the sun of truth

12
The Hand of Fate

Listen to my story, you children of men,
You who believe God does not see your sin,
Fate's hand is not stopped by the power of your fear,
It moves ahead, your illusions to sear.

13
Open Door

The door is open
for those who see,
the thorn in love's reality.

14
Observation

You can find
a spiritual poem
any where you look
if you are observant.

15
Meditation
Accompanied by a Computer Fan

God's praise is intoned
on currents of warm air rising
from the lover's soul.

16
Yesterday's Sacrifice

Time and experience has a way,
Of changing the ones we love;
Of making them either worse or better;
Of making them evolve each day,
Yesterday's sacrifice is the price,
Justice demands for our growth today!

17
Unknown God

We worship an Unknown God,
Made known by His Manifestations.

18
Positive Versus Negative

Peace is more powerful than war;
Love is more powerful than hate;
Faith is more powerful than doubt;
Light is more powerful than darkness;
Good is more powerful than evil.

19
Prepare to Redeem Yourself

In the time it takes
an atom to move from one point to another,
our souls ascend into the realm of God.
