Mastery of Thought

If dreams are a rehearsal

for reality in form,
then thoughts that fill your waking hours
are armed with mythic superpowers.
They are what inform
your sleeping fantasies
with ego’s vanities.

When thoughts are universal
in their content and intent,
emerging in the sleeping hours,
a hopeful vision then empowers
concepts that foment
each day’s activity
with sensitivity.

The tie between your hopes and dreams
and all that’s come to pass
is echoed in the looking glass
of what egoic selfhood deems
to be what you deserve.
Reflecting back distorted views
(that illustrate how fear can choose
a path that skews your learning curve),
you stumble on until you’ve learned
that mastery of thought
is what unties the knot,
allowing in what you have earned.

To cause a course reversal,
you must thwart your ego’s plot
by filling all your conscious hours
with positivity that flowers
into boundless thought.
Attract what you conceive;
allow and you receive!
