The Quest

The quest will not surrender so easily
Its treasure must be fought for
Seek outside and it will never be revealed
Because it lives inside a place forgotten
In the times of reason and thought
It can’t be made sense of
You must endure until it’s time
To hold it in your hands
But it’s only in your heart
That it will truly appear
That is if you’re ready to see it
To know it... to love it
All this time the quest
Was no more than an acceptance
You were created for a reason
And that reason is simply to be you
You are your own treasure
The quest is over
But the journey continues…

The lesson? Life is only as complicated as you believe it to be.

Here's a chill song to help you reflect on this lesson.

Dreams and Prayer

The hardest part of making your dreams come true is the last stretch. Why? This is the part of the journey you will have to run alone.

Just before realizing your dreams friends and family will think you're nuts for shaking established comfort zones. Society will tell you to stick to your 9-5 job and not rock the boat. Well meaning mentors will project their own fears on you. You might even feel as though God has abondonded you. But He hasn’t and never will.

A similar thing also happens when you run long distances. There comes a point where you can no longer feel your legs. Your mind is overwhelmed with exhaustion and it can’t think clearly anymore. Even your ability to see may give out on you.

But this is where you find yourself. This is where you see the power to accomplish the extroadinary is within you. The trick is it can’t be accomplished with a conscious mind. You have to trust the power inside of you to see you through. It’s on the other side of the finish line that you will return to reality and see what you have done. Others, now seeing your accomplishment, will embrace you. But until then, it’s only you and God my friend.

Today’s lesson is to understand great things are only accomplished with great effort and risk. Until you are ready to let go of any and all safety nets, you won’t know what you are really capable of.

Here is a video that resonates with this lesson.

Bending Reality

“Wayseer,” what’s that?
Someone who sees life for what it is
Truths not readily apparent on the surface
Maybe it’s a tortured soul
One that knows it’s away from home
Gifts sometimes seen as a curse
Can’t always explain what they mean
Language a limitation to conception
Ideas only expressed through spirit
So much energy bottled up
It has to find its way out
Alone on a quest few understand
In search of the universe within
It’s hard to live like this at times
So it’s easier to be self-destructive
The world is a duality of reality
The eyes see what the want to see
Purpose… Meaning… A reason
Without these what’s life?
“Wayseers,” an interesting concept
Wonder if there's room for one more

Tonight's lesson? It's cool to be you.

Stripping for Truth

If you let them, false truths will strip you of your dreams and imprison you in your mind. But what if you strip yourself of false truths first?

False truths tell you your dreams are impossible. They tell you don’t deserve your dreams. They tell you life is designed to kick you in the teeth at every occasion. They do this to control you. To keep you from realizing that within you is the power to bend and shape reality.

So what kind of reality to you want to create? How about one aligned with God’s natural plan and design for humanity? I think this is a great place to start.

Tonight’s lesson is to remember the truth of who and what you are. You are more than the lies the world has fed you. You and all of humanity where created for a purpose. Dreams are blueprints to accomplish this purpose. Keep them alive and never stop believing in their power to sustain your existence.
