“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” Romans 12:2
In the instance
one is born,
perhaps even from
the moment of
seed germination,
to the pattern of this world,
one’s mind is being
intricately woven.
So begins our prognosis,
see at the very beginning
the brain is in this theta state
Literally akin to hypnosis.
Neural connections begin forming,
shaped by parental vibes
and cultural tribes.
The network is now moulding.
social behaviours and
environmental stress
hard-wiring the pathways
like the most technical plays
in a game of chess.
Exposed to continuous stimulation,
on the mind there’s constant impression,
this is the gradual formation
of one’s limited perception…
…so who knows what’s wrong
Who knows what’s right,
on goes the subconscious habituation,
the grooves embed so deep,
this hard-wiring becomes so tight.
At the mercy of governing entities
mass media and
sticky app technology,
not really aware
that this is the slick creativity
behind the mass conformity
of what was once
your sovereign psyche.
So perhaps now this is opposition
controlled perception,
and for knowing the essence
of one’s true nature,
the most water-tight
Protection.
Trapped in a cage
in one’s own mental maze,
no wonder we walk around
under a clouded haze,
head in a daze,
eyes glazed with
not much to say.
Look around,
you know the world is crying out
for renewal,
so to are we,
For a complete re-wiring of
the worldly individual.
Now I say,
it’s fasting from the world,
the sharp sword
of meditation that cuts through
the illusion that is
the mind’s default delusion,
eventually enabling one
to dwell in the space
between thoughts,
And herein the power lies…
But to break old patterns
first we must
slow down…
and recognise.
Meditation turns on
the cool light of contemplation
And this inner-world exploration
prepares one for a more measured
outer-world application.
Contemplation leads to
one to question…
What has been impressed
upon me by
this world I see and know,
and what is genuinely
my own?
Are the thoughts
I engage in
one’s I am sourcing & selecting,
or simply the result of
a life-long conditioning?
…which leads to the cultivation
of this freedom of choice:
And my friend,
You do have a choice:
mindless repetition or….
soulful evolution.
But my love,
go easy during this
inner investigation,
on yourself be gentle
and non-judgmental
but do know that
committed meditation
and objective contemplation
hold the potential for
your transformation,
…they are the proven
premium tools…
for mental-renewal.
Now, I’m certainly not saying
simply buy my words or follow me,
but my friend, I do say
it’s only when
the mind is empty,
in a state of stillness and clarity,
does one finally see the plight of
The individual’s
And then the world’s collective conformity…
…only then and only then
will you see
That living in the Heart is
the only place
where you’re truly free.
