This is a Poem that contains the Spiritual Lessons that seem most import to me.
The back story is, last summer, after I broke up with someone that I cared about, I was in a dark place. I was afraid. I spent a lot of time thinking about the relationship and actively surrendering all the anger by forgiving this person.
I used the Surrender Process and EFT, which I have found of great benefit.

One morning I was writing a song and this is what happened.

I hope it serves you.

Aloha, and namaste!
I hope you have been having a great day.
I'm glad you are here because now it's time to play.

nam myoho renge kyo
ommm
The finger that points to the moon is not the moon.
The truth you seek is right here, right now.
Open your mind.

The Truth I tell is like a kick to the dome,
sit back while I take you home.
Can I get a witness, ( touch the ground )
now let's get down to business.

I beg you hear me well,
ignore this Truth and this life will feel like hell.
The first thing I have to say,
"Judgement day is here, each and everyday."

The 4 noble truths are an excellent guide,
You would do well to learn to abide.
1 life is suffering
2 the cause is you
3 there is only one way of buffering
4 You have to walk through this door.
Prepare to get floored.

Buddha, Krishna and the Christ,
laid the truth down, wasn't that nice.
We should be like brothers and love our common man,
not just the ones that are in our clan.
However, our brains can't understand
The only constant is change.

How can we learn to love?
Free our heart like a pure white dove.
This principle is tough to abide,
The secret to Love is to learn to forgive,
and That is the state from which you should live.

Forgiveness is hard because we tend to think the other person deserves the red card.
If you don't choose to forgive, ask yourself,
"Would I drink poison and expect to live?"
Only you can stop that lie;
but first,
your Ego has to die.

The world is full of those that hold onto the past.
Events from 1000's of years ago seem to last.
I've never understood why people persist to growl,
The problem with this perception is that the only moment is Now.

The river of Time flows in one direction,
once past, there can be no correction.
The past is done, the future is an illusion.
Luckily, God sent his messengers with a solution.

Once you accept the possibility of a higher power,
never again will you have to cower.

The biggest trap must be Reason,
because that changes with the season.
It's with the heart that we must start,
because the mind tends to bind.
It's only when the heart is clear,
that you will find what your deepest self holds most dear.
Then you will become truly sincere.

How will I know when I'm on the right path?

You will know when you start to want to forgive,
the people that you once didn't want to live.

Why do we humans have so much trouble?
We face problems and then they seem to double.
The cause is serious,
it's our Ego that makes us delirious.

Don't get mad,
your Ego is not bad.
It's just the part that makes you mad.
The trick that it plays is to convince you,
Your source of happiness is outside you.

The biggest problem with that part,
it prevents us from feeling our heart.
This same space is where we create great art.

The truth is your Mind helps to combine all senses,
and judge what you perceive as good or bad.
The problem is it makes us sad.

"Where did it come from?", people say.
The Ego's a remnant of our primal days.

The key to escape is to learn to witness your thoughts,
this will prevent you from getting caught.
Observe the place from where all thoughts arise,
this will cut down lies like a scythe.

The thing about judgement is that it makes us feel,
that we're better than everyone else, for real.
Only our Ego can perpetuate that lie,
and for that reason, it must die.

Observe what is happening,
Don't evaluate or judge.
Once you cultivate this skill,
Even evil won't make you budge.

People always ask how can God allow evil,
Didn't he create the weevil?
Actually he didn't, God created the world and the life on it,
the weevil arose because of man.

Weevils feed on our seeds and crops,
which need to be close together so they can jump from stem to stem.
Our invention of agriculture really helped them.

What about earthquakes?
They really make us shake.
The truth is those have been happening since before the dawn of man.
It seems our limited brain can't really perceive God's plan.

You might still be afraid, and that's OK.
This might be the first time you've thought of things this way.

How can I get the courage to accept this?
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

My religion is simple, My religion is Kindness.

Many religions only point to their truth,
it seems that keeps them aloof.

The only truth we know for sure,
is that we are Consciousness pure,
We exist here right now.
We create our own reality.
Now what are you going to do with it?

Are you going to use it to trick your fellow man?
Will you spread untruth,
so you you can lead the youth
To war and Death?

Leader's say,
"We fight for Peace."
Ask yourself,
How is that even possible?
Fighting for Peace is like fucking to become a virgin.

When Peace is more valued than the entertainment of our insatiable Ego,
it will be discovered to be present and available.
It always has been, we just choose to ignore it.

Will you create beautiful works to inspire others?
What's your plan?
Man

How can we know which path to choose?
That's a tough one because there is so much to lose.
Jesus taught simply,
By their fruits you will know them.
Wrap that around your little brain, it will help you to avoid great pain.
It will keep your spiritual effort from going down the wrong drain.

The world is full of those that hold onto the past.
Events from 1000's of years ago seem to last.
I've never understood why people persist to growl,
The problem with their perception is that the only moment is Now.

The river of Time flows in one direction,
once past, there can be no correction.
The past is done, the future is an illusion.
Luckily, God sent his messengers with a solution.
Once you accept the possibility of a higher power,
never again will you have to cower.

The biggest trap must be Reason,
because that changes with the season.
It's with the heart that we must start,
because the mind tends to bind.
It's only when the heart is clear,
That which you will find what your deepest self holds most dear.

How can I face my fear?
The trick is to ask, "And then what?"
I'm afraid to show my love for this person.
And then what?
They might judge me.
And then what?
They might think I'm a fool.
And then what?
They'll tell their friends.
And then what?
No one will love me.
And then what?
I will die alone.

This is the root of fear, and stills our heart like a knife.
We are all afraid of losing our life.

This is natural, because what lies beyond is unknown.
The answer can't be found in any tomb.
A powerful spiritual practice is to ask yourself throughout the day,
"What am I?"
It seems simple, but profound Truths are always simple.

That's one of the things I have learned about Genius.
Genius distills great knowledge into simple truths so that everyone can understand.
What are you a genius at?

Remember
If you are willing to do only what's easy,
life will be hard.
But if you are willing to do what's hard,
life will be easy.

When you become willing to finally surrender,
You'll rise to the top, and become a major contender.

The time is always right to do what is right.
Be the Change you want to see in the world.
Amen
