Born Anew
Be courageous enough to turn away
From all forms,
All names,
All stories,
All identifications,
And all obsessions of the mind
That your ego uses in a vain
attempt to control reality.
Be brave enough to allow
that which is not true,
All that is not you,
To be burned away
So that you may be reborn anew.
Stop attempting to
Fix,
Convince,
Coerce,
Manipulate,
And control reality
To suit your obsessive needs
And clinging to what is not real,
and cannot possibly be sustained.
Instead, become willing
to strip yourself
Of all that is not you,
All that is not true,
Throwing every last bit
Of the false self into the funeral pyre
Of No-thing,
Allowing all to be burned away.
What remains is
The formless,
The limitless,
The expansiveness
Of what is true,
What is lasting,
What is truly you…
Allow all that is not you to burn away
So that you may be reborn once again
Into the unity of the
All-that-is bliss nature of God,
The ground luminosity,
The oneness,
Pure consciousness,
Being-ness,
That is the truth of who you are.
Be brave enough to allow
that which is not true,
All that is not you,
To be burned away
So that you may be reborn anew.
