Mutiny Meditation<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the Soul
\nthat is You
\nchose a Body
\nto inhabit –
\nmaybe next
\ngo-round
\nyou\u2019ll take a
\nlittle more time;
\njust kidding –<\/p>\n

perhaps You didn\u2019t
\nforesee the
\nMutiny of the Mind
\nthat may have
\nbound Your Soul<\/p>\n

in chains of
\nReason,
\nshackles of
\nScientific Method,
\nhandcuffs of
\nObjectivity.<\/p>\n

Now Your Soul
\nlanguishes in
\nsolitary
\nconfinement,<\/p>\n

while your Mind
\nbusies Itself
\ncollecting
\nFears,<\/p>\n

as if it\u2019s some
\nsort of
\nNumismatist of
\nMelancholia.<\/p>\n

Try this:<\/p>\n

Place that Body
\ncomfortably,
\nprobably seated.<\/p>\n

Imagine Your
\nHeart opens
\nand Light comes
\npouring out,<\/p>\n

filling Your
\nBody until it
\nescapes out
\nYour pores,
\nand soon<\/p>\n

You are sitting
\nin a globe
\nof Light.<\/p>\n

Aha!<\/p>\n

It is Your
\nSoul
\nthat has escaped!<\/p>\n

Commune
\nwith It,
\nbathe in It,
\ndouse your
\nFears with
\ngallons of It.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see
\nwhat happens.<\/p>\n
