"FEAR and CONTROL"

NAMASTE'

Speak when spoken to,
is uttered to reinforce this classic form of censorship and control.

In a sea of chaos and noise some don’t want to hear anything Even so, a faint voice from the heavens echos in the hearts of men instead In between thoughts that distract so many form our true nature, thought, that reinforce negative programming like, This life is hell, dawg, Life sucks man, Try doing 10 years of this shit!; In between thoughts, one might hear distractions of old times, dreams of the future, or idle ribbing, to distract from the predominant features of adversion to the current condition.

Some have found faith, in there personal savior, sharing where they can, but there are those who are bent on holding to the past, the pain, and the fleeting joy it brought. They mourn the loss of such Good Times and the things it brought. This mourning, turns into anger at times, when things try to take it away Apathy and acceptance melts that sorrow a swirling soup of contempt of anything that disturbs what little form of control they have over themselves.

If anything breeches that line, sometimes even vaguely, some tend to feel threatened. Fear is used equally as a measure of prevention. The "Or Else" principle I am here to cross those boundaries, to share a different way of interaction, an alternative way of being, of co-existing peacefully without fear or control

As I sit and do nothing at times for five hours or more, any activity becomes better than nothing. Why is this view so popular? Doing nothing, rminds some, how much the mental programming is reinforcing negative thoughts.
We cling to and put ourselves in control, and at times, grow angry when we lose some sense of control of our actions. I find acceptance and play the game as a matter of surrender the control I chose is over my heart and mind They may control my flesh but, what of the rest? How can one overcome these things? Well, commonly, through distraction, but a more healthy approach is to laugh, learn, live, love life, for what it is

Every moment is an expression in forgiveness, compassion, understanding, thru practice, every moment, to encourage cooperation, efficient communication; of being in the flow, of interchange, of exchange.

Transcendence of Fear and Control

Here in prison, most everyone holds a secret wish, or longing, for any engagement, others are bitter, and refuse to be connected To be pulled out of the funk of spite, self-pity, loathing and contempt for being here, some refuse acceptance and cling to control while others surrender to faith. To transcend control is to accept not having None.

By surrendering to the faith of choice.

Control is what brought us HERE Letting go, of that control is what will free us. For those who choose not to be in control are free of the need to control. What or who needs control? The lower self, the ego, the one that believes I know best. By practice, thru trial and error, perhaps yes. But why? I believe, that self direction under guidance of a loving teacher, friend, mentor, etc., is what is needed. Those that are here were found to be in pursuit of things out of the scope of cooperation.

They were tempted to cross the line of law. They "us felons" were tempted by money, fun and drugs. The ideas of bettering themselves by illegitimate means. Yes, some are crimes, but others are failed expressions of a lack of understanding

TO aquire things, to procure attachments, some choose to steal, etc, when it cannot be asked for, worked for, or sought out effectively But, the point is this, some are forced into desire. Told what to want without being given proper options to fulfill those desires of attachments. But, if education is given freely, no one would have the advantage over others. The Latin phrase sentecious potentcia
(Knowledge is power) comes to mind.
Power to control?
....................................No. The power to heal, to share, to love equally.

NO MAS! NO WAR!

Untill we meet again,
Breathe love,
Be well,
Do Frolic Much,
Where The Truth Is Free,
Your Humble Servant Of Global Peace.
