Why do you try to sanitize life?
Your desires keep you bound
Manifesting?
Ha!
What’s wrong with the present moment?
Why do you desire more than this?
Don’t you see?
You are a blank canvas…
It is so subtle…
The slightest wish creates suffering
A nod to ‘real’
Creates existence
Within you, all is nothing…
Without you…nothing at all
I’m afraid of those who are bad
I’m afraid of those who are good
Caught in mind, either way, you are bound
Disidentify and you are free
I cry at the sight of suffering
Yet, how absurd, I am free
I feel compelled to help others
Yet, how absurd, there are no others to help
It is so simple
Such a simple misunderstanding
You were always free
Yet, your belief kept you bound
Notice…
All happens effortlessly
Notice…
Nothing need be done
Such is this…
Beyond mind, beyond words…
Your true nature is Infinite Being
Don’t take my word for it
See for yourself!

(Spiritual poem)
David, this is great. I appreciate the nod to manifesting. Or rather, a nod "against" it. I know you don't mean it that way. Neither do I. I think you say exactly what you mean perfectly in this writing. Thanks for it.
