THOUGHTS ARE THINGS

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS

Thoughts are things
Oh, don’t we know
We can have the words we sow
It seems that man does always say
And the things he says
He can have become that way
All this talk about our fear
Is doing just what Job did
He said “the thing I greatly feared
Has come upon me”
What say I to such a thing?
“Don’t Greatly Fear”

It’s such a pain
For when we all fuss and complain
Those words we say, We’ll have the same
For words are thoughts and thoughts are things
And we can have the words we say
Saying them brings them our way
And then we’re going to fuss some more
Our words you see, can do us harm
It’s raining now, just pouring down

(the El Nino weather talked about ahead of it’s arrival when it happened in California in 1998 )

And in my memory I hear the sound
Of voices a few months ago
Who talked of this and made it so
We Greatly Feared
We said the words and thought the thoughts
And they collected in the sky
Why does God let things happen this way?
Why can’t God just call a halt

And stop this rain, it’s all his fault
For nothing happens that’s not his will
Why does God wish us ill?
The houses are falling from the hills
The streets are turning into rivers

It seems to me
It’s WE who are the givers
Of this gift to our own selves
For we’re the gods who called for this
Our words you see
We talked a lot
BUT we Could Learn How to Talk
For when we say,
When we predict,
When we expect
When we lament
We’re calling things like our we see them
And calling things like we expect them
But that’s not the talk of a God
Such as God our Creator is
For God called things that were NOT
AS though they WERE
Did not God say
“Let there Be”
And there WAS

“Know ye not that ye are gods”
We are creators too
“Everyone talks about the weather
But no one does anything about it”
This saying you know is half way true
For talk we do
And if we could learn how to talk
Then we Could do something about the weather too

I wish people of this earth
Would know that we can have
The things we fear
Fear is a thought
And thoughts are things
And things have a way of getting together
Enough of them and we have matter

Oh? What is the matter?
Don’t ask me
I don’t want to call it.
I just want to observe it.
I know better, I’m learning fast
Not to call things good or bad
I just observe
I’m quite detached
I have no expectations
For we can have the things we expect
For expectations are a thought
And thoughts are things
And things create the reality we see
And I know this of myself

That I don’t know
What anything is for
I don’t always see the purpose
For everything that happens.
So I’ll just observe
And yes I’ll talk
I’ll talk of things that are lovely
And things that are of a good report
If there be any virtue
If there be any praise, I’ll talk of these things
And I’ll call things that are NOT
As though they were

For thoughts are things
And things create our reality
We are the thinker thinking
Let’s think about what we’re thinking about
Let’s observe our own words
Did not we learn about the tongue
It’s just a little member of the body
Yet if we could control it
We could have anything we wished.

I say that we are going to
Listen to our mind chatter
And bite our tongues if we have to
To keep them from

Calling it like we see it
Calling it like we expect it
Calling it like we fear it
If we don’t have anything good to say
We just won’t say
That’s the way we’ll save the day
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”
I believe in my heart
That I am pure and holy

That I can look with eyes of love
I’ll just bless everything and call it Holy
For all is God
I’ll bless the process

For our mistakes are our opportunities
To see ourselves, to learn HOW to call things
To call them blessed and to rejoice always
Rejoice in all things
For rejoicing is a thought
And thoughts are things and things create
Heaven or Hell

God’s Song In Me: A Poem of Self-Discovery

God’s Song In Me: A Poem of Self-Discovery

In 1998, The Dove lady experienced a period of prolific poetry, often composing lengthy and meaningful verses. Today, She share one titled “God’s Song In Me,” a message of self-discovery and the ever-present power of love.

The Poem

The poem opens with the empowering declaration of knowing who you are and where you’re going, for you are already there. It emphasizes the concept of the present moment being all that exists, with the past and future mere illusions.

It urges you to take a leap of faith, embracing the “Holy Instant Now” and its potential to transform the past, present, and future. This transformation hinges on your own choices and your ability to control your thoughts.

Living in the Present and Embracing Love

The poem emphasizes living in the present and cherishing the gift of life. It reminds you that you are part of a larger whole, connected to everything and everyone around you.

Love is presented as the fundamental law, the only true reality. Hate, fear, and judgment are deemed illusions, creations of the mind that hold no power against the all-encompassing force of love.

Remembering and Reuniting

The final lines encourage you to “remember” your true nature, which is one with God and all of creation. This act of remembering reconnects you with the divine spark within yourself and fosters love and understanding for all beings.

Personal Reflection

“God’s Song In Me” presents a powerful message of self-discovery and the transformative power of love. It serves as a reminder to embrace the present moment, release negativity, and reconnect with the divine essence that resides within each of us.

Note:

It’s important to remember that the interpretation of this poem may vary depending on individual beliefs and perspectives. This blog post provides one potential interpretation, and I encourage you to explore the poem further and draw your own conclusions.

God’s Song In Me.

I know who I am and I know where I’m going Because I know that I’m already there. I need not go anywhere All that God has for me is already inside of me.

You think there is a past And you think there is a future And you are going back and forth between the two. Here’s a secret, this is what you do.

From now on the present Is the only place to be. For the future is already here And the past is no longer relevant.

You can only take the leap of faith to decide that now Is the best time to be alive And make the most of this Holy Instant Now For when you do, Oh when you do You change the past and you change the future For they can have no control of you.

There is no other way for you to have your way So live within this day and change your very thought So it can have the sway over all your by-gone days And all your future too.

It’s really up to you, this moment that is true Depends on me and you To cooperate, to dedicate, to contemplate, to concentrate, To appreciate, to demonstrate, to celebrate, to officiate.

For life is for the living NOW There is no other time For I have made you mine.

You can only lose your mind If you take it out of mine.

You are all a part of me and I know that you will see ME living in you, as you, and through you. But not for you and not only you For I am in everyone of you.

See me in everyone you see. Don’t condemn any part of me. I am able to give you Light When you realize to your delight That I am the Light that shines from within Each person no matter how dim, No matter how you think of him.

For good and bad is only your way Of making your words construct things your way. Good and bad are only your rules of What you want and what you’ll see.

The truth is that I am a God of ONE. My Law is love and only love. You can not break it into it’s opposite For nothing else can oppose it.

You are only fooling yourself to think that You can make anything but love. No one using hate has made anything that last. The truth about what you have made out of fear is Just that it is an illusion.

I know, this sounds queer But illusions are happening all around you To help you remember And to know what you can do.

You have the power within yourself To make your world behave itself. I have given you the dominion. But you gave it away and Now you can decide to take it back.

When you can remember The one that you are is God, Then you will discover that You are one with it all, The sunset, the trees, the sea and the breeze The plant and the ground, the worm in the dirt But also the star that shines above.

You’re everywhere present. Your everywhere love.

Oh when you remember, you’re re-membering me. You bring me together with love, can’t you see? You get out your own special ways of expressing All of the love that my heart is out-pressing.

You find love in everyone only when you Know that you’re looking for me in them too.

For your narrow minded ways of thinking you are separate Have made for you senseless things that won’t last. They are temporary, they all pass away. Your doctrines, your rituals, your do-it-my-way. Your smug little feeling of superiority Is something you use to deny my authority.

We don’t get to heaven by refusing to see The simple fact that everyone is me. My love is a transforming power you see And hate has not power to do things my way.

For hate draws the user into its own self, And nothing is possible to build that will last. It builds nothing. It destroys nothing. It is nothing. For you see, hate is only a thought you have thought.

And it is a thought you have thought because of fear. Because you won’t remember that I’m here in you, in all. Hate is only a thought you have thought. I’ve given it no power, but you have.

It is not real unless you make it real. It is something that you made when you got into fear. Your fear is your own illusion, not mine. I won’t have any part of it, Nor of anger or pain. I’ll have no part of believing this way.

For love is my nature. Love is all that I know. I don’t know judgment, for why would I judge you When I see you as me? I don’t know punishment, for why should I hurt myself? I don’t know doubt for I am certainty.

I am that I am and you are that you are. But what are you going to make of yourself? What is it that you are? You can only be what you think and say. And what you think and say are how you create.

For you are the potter and you are the clay. You are the thinker and you are the thought.

The Poem/Song that never ends

Entertainment, Philosophy, Spirituality, , , ,

O.K. here is a long poem. Grace the Dove lady wrote it in 1998, a time when many poems came to her. I was singing a song that Shari Lewis had Lambchops sing, and it turned into a poem for me. So here goes. Warning. It is very long.



This is the poem that never ends
It just goes on and on my friend
One day I started writing it
Not knowing what it was
And I continued writing it forever just because

I know you want this poem to end
For it to not begin again
And I’m going to end it soon
The message to ensue
Will show you that your acting out
A cycle like this too.

For so many do complain
Talk about their grief and pain
We’ve been talking about it now
Since day one did begin
For when we split the cell in two
We started saying me and you

Mine and Thine became our theme
And mine, not thine, we echoed too
It happened each and every time
When we got into fear
The fear you see became control
Saying things would make them so

So we began then to create
And we created with our fear
Thinking that there was a you and me
Our oneness disappeared
Until our fears piled up so high
We forgot our descent from the sky.

Pretty much we were earthbound
And we keep going round and round
We didn’t realize that with our words we could create
So when we put our brother down
Those words we said, they would rebound.

You know that fear turns into hate
And yes with hate we could create
We had thought that we were only
Trying to survive
And so we thought of many ways
In order to provide

Security became our quest
And so we started to devise
There were oh so many things
Our minds were cooking up
The fun we had,, the terror too
The dramas then that would ensue

We came into a time of fear
Cause we no longer knew our place
Had been to be a God descended from above
We didn’t know our mission here
Was to become the Love

We wanted only to survive
And many times in order to
We would take from others what they were
Holding in their hand
We forgot that our purpose here
Was to serve our fellow man

So we started to complain
About all the grief and pain
And our talking about the things
Our eyes would look upon
Made things not change
Our words you see
Were creating our reality.

So I am writing this long poem
It’s my way to make it plain
To get a lot of us to just start looking at our thoughts
The way you know to get control
Is to lose the fear but then you know,

It won’t happen if we allow
Ourselves to be choked up with fear
And recounting all the things we see as being bad
The telling of it ore and ore
It’s such a pain, it’s such a chore.

To talk about them is just like
This poem that goes forever on
Forever we could talk about
The things we’re calling wrong
Until we finally realized, it’s taking way to long

So I have made a long long poem
To show you of our Father’s plan
Not to call the things we see
For that’s not the way of God
For we can call what is not
Just as though it were.

And you know what we can say
“My words will not return unto me void
But they will go out there
To accomplish all my will
I call it done
I call it good
And I call it in the name of “ME”

For we are Gods you see
No need to call it blasphemy
In his image we were made;
We are creators too
Our words you see
They are the key
To changing our reality

So we must watch that little tongue
For it is set on fire of hell
For the hell we make, we’re living in it now
And we can make another choice
That’s what we’re here to do

We will have heaven on earth
We are here to bring the birth
For we are the Sons of God
The world is waiting for
We’re bringing light and light is truth
And truth is Love
Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love we have
We don’t call things good or bad
We have no rules to make you follow
Nor forms of control
We won’t possess
We won’t dictate
We’ll show you how to
Give up the hate

You know sweet Earth’s evolving too
And though the workers may be few
You see it only takes a few you know
To get it done so all will know
And we can have heaven below

When we learn just how to walk
When we finally walk our talk
We’ve been going round and round you see
But now it’s time for mastery
And it begins with you and me

So let it all begin with you
You know your heart knows what to do
We’ve been playing round and round with this
And there is waiting so much bliss
Only listen to your feelings now

Don’t try to intellectualize
Don’t only look with physical eyes
For the Spirit wants to move in you
Mother Earth is pushing through
She loves the help that comes from you.

And now the world is speeding up
For kindergarten school is through
The bell has rang for all to hear
The message we make clear
We’re proud to say, no more delay
The end is near, the end is near.

Now we are going to graduate
We’re going to lift our banners high
And embrace the joy and all is well
There is no devil, there is no hell
There is only God
And God is Love

And the complaining all will end
And then my poem will dissipate
The fear that’s given us such hell on earth
Recognizes now the light
There’s no more fear, there’s no more night

And the gates are opened wide
There’s no place for fear to hide
And everyone will say
I need not belief
I know I’m love, unconditional love
God has descended from above

We have risen up to meet
Our resurrection is complete
Now as below, so, up above
The world is filled with so much love
Of which there is no end.

Oh yes, there’s more of this to come
But for now the poem is done……

Oh, about time!
