Flaming thoughts ensnare but Glory lies Inside

Ignore the distorting media of thought
Bad, depressing thoughts invade
Debillitating and weakening my resolve
I don’t want these thoughts making me feel so small

Easy to see about going into these thoughts
Looking through them
Seeing the illusion
Disappearing because never existing

Byt when good, positive thoughts invade
I relax and let them in
Welcoming and enjoying them
Trapped by thoughts
Pleasureable but illusionary the same

Once grabbed they have you
Other thoughts poor in and you are overwhelmed
Treat all thoughts the same
Look into good ones the same as the bad
Detached with no comment

They’ll lose their powers this way
Disappear
Both good and bad never existed
Creations of the mind
Both equally trap one in the Grand Illusion of I

So don’t get tempted by happy and pleasurable thoughts
The hardest of the lot
Look through the two
Detached
Like watching the clouds across the sky

Only when you’ve looked fully into both
Seen they both do not exist
Spontaneously mind goes
The illusion of 1 collapses and the disturbing media goes

You see things as they are
Nothing added
Simply the dirt of ignorance cleared
Truth and Love are seen in all their glory
