method: acting (the psychology of attainment) | a poem by a faust


  method: acting
  (or, the psychology of attainment)
 
 
 
 only thinking other things
 can you try for Heaven's Fire
 -- but then, the thoughts that 'trying' brings
  set you apart from your Desire:
 
  you hesitate
  you stop, you rest,
  you cannot choose your heart's Delight:
 
  is it failure?
  or...success?
 
  soon, mistaking thought itself for light;
  habit gets (expects) a tragedy
 (almost sweet again the pain it wrings)
 
  ...but:
 
  YOU
  remember
  ECSTASY
 
  and
  practice
  thinking
  other
  things...
 
 
 

 by a female faust
 written circa 1991, revised 2015

Goal Setting — an exercise by a Faust


 


Goal Setting

An exercise by a Faust



Setting up benchmarks, measuring well,

judging effects in the light of their causes:

From details in records you'll easily tell,

reviewing events, successes from pauses.


Keep up with it daily, keep time like the sky

to regularly assess how steady your state;

In thornier patches change the 'how' for a 'why,'

& always remember to forget to berate.


That last you may find hardest, & by you I here mean me,

taught as I was by fear of rod, & shame, & guilt,

but once our Spirit gets but just a taste of living truly free

the whole of Law may not impossibly fit into what thou wilt.


Accounting makes for trust when you’re the one investing

So keeping record makes for faith surviving any testing

Take A Cup Of Kindness Yet -- dedicated by a Faust to @karmalcy

 




Take A Cup Of Kindness Yet

Or, May It Be Brought To Mind


some happy introductions you might, with luck, need to revisit

because of that all of a sudden happening for the first time again

that doubletake real kind of real look again that’s you — isn’t it

immanence tapping your shoulder at a just now & still unprepared when
