Unclaimed Talent
Our unsettled mind causes us to be at unrest, agitated, and continually emotionally, turbulent in our affairs. We ‘think’ we are supposed to be doing something, getting something, being something, or at the very least, comparing what we do have with the lot of another. No. All is perfect just as it is. Nothing could be any better or different. This is it! All of it. When we refuse to take the lot of our designated pool, we sublimate the diamonds for dross. Our un- excavated talent lies repressed beneath the bitter words of “what will it take to make it happen for me?” Answer: Acceptance of what is.

Undelivered Bouquet
During the course of our lives, we pin so many hopes, aspirations, dreams, ideals, expectations on others. We tend to forget that the cherished attributes we idolize are not found in the other but in ourselves. We neglect to see that by wanting to please, so badly, and be accepted by the other, we are doing nothing but diminishing that which is truly valuable within. The sacred bouquet cannot be delivered, except that you give it to yourself.

Undiminished Intensity
To expose that which we will not normally speak of openly delivers into our lives the liberating force of authentic self-expression barred from all expectation and disappointment. To be completely honest requires a dropping of old ‘response by rote’ for the spontaneously shocking but exhilarating freedom to express what one feels without the fear of rejection or uninvited criticism. It matters not-in the least- IF others accept and seem to adore you IF you are untrue to yourself by holding back or plunging ahead in that realm where the doorway is marked “enter at they own risk”. What is comforting is not always suitable and certainly never permanent. Do what thou wilt unrestrained-in as much- as you startle your state of affairs by turning over the long held conditioned beliefs and traditions which have turned you into stone. Be willing to be misunderstood and loathed, if need be

Unfiltered Release
We need not continue to lie and deceive others when the bulk of the harbored anxiety floods each moment of our lives with undue stress and crippling tension. No more do we need to carry the false burden of ‘trying to impress or be impressed’. The saturating joy cometh in the morning when we release the need to please others with such counterfeit actions and parade of stilted emotions.

Unfinished Business
We are all doing our time on earth! There are some of us who literally remain behind invisible bars all of the days of our lives. Then, there are those who are figuratively placed in confining jail cells, yet are freer than we. Why should this be the case? It shouldn’t. But, as long as we blame others, criticize our progression or failures, have a ‘lust of result’ for what will be, we will remain locked up forever in the cell of expectation of outer validation from which there is NO escape!

Unnecessary Apology
Apologies are unnecessary! We do what we do for reasons we can never know. IF we THINK we know what the cause was behind the motivation, and can name it definitively, You can believe {with 100% accuracy} that was NOT the factoring impetus or imploding infraction. Though we may think we have an idea of why something occurred, we do NOT! We can make up all sorts of explanations and excuses for our contrived and/or unconscious deeds, and then, set out to defend our character for our ill spurned actions, but what for? The Mal-aligned, guile filled, self-vested attempt is hopelessly futile and deliberately stupid. We seek to reinstate what we imagined our favored status was before having imposed the injustice, instead of allowing the gap of confusion without vindication to occur. Obvious, Undeniable Fact: we have no clue what the extent or the long range cosmic parameters involve, except that we were part of something much larger and broader than our finite minds can construe.

Unreasonable Conviction
We do what we do without conscious knowledge of our actions. No matter how reasonably we plan to execute our intent, the verifiability of our reflective inner nature, (from which all divine action springs) dictates what will ultimately be. No matter whether we like it or not. We have no causal bearing in the outcome whatsoever even though we would like to take the praise or blame for our decisions. We are driven by deeply imbedded sensual passion that allows no human interference to obscure the definitive results.

Unspoken Words
We see what we WANT to see and block out everything else. Depending upon our own personal experiences, do the spiteful demons of mindless neglect and abandonment in memory take hold. We tend to carry blame and shame for way too long. We either exalt our participation (hero) or debase our involvement (victim), in the situation, based upon why, what, when, where, how and to whom we are relaying the incident. We rarely recognize that our own guileful motives set the stage before and after our arrival

Unveiling
People never see the real person! (Neither does the one observing himself/herself) To be able to deliver the innate courage, instinctive talent, raw insight and indelible creative force naturally, demands a constant renewing of the primal impetus. Growl..

Vein of Sorrow
We are privileged to walk upon the sacred earth. To disgrace her by neglect and abuse is more than a shame; it is a down right curse. She sustains us. We should, in exchange, honor her by, at least, acknowledging her in ways of silent prayers in reverent appreciation. Do not trash her, ever. She weeps in a vein of blood beneath our feet when we do.

War of the Relentless Mind
At times, the mind will contradict itself with all sorts of logical reasons. The surge of passion fights vehemently to dissuade but is senselessly confronted on all sides by an incessant display of overwhelming ‘lines of reasonableness’. In defense of its carefully held position, the mind will interject ‘because’ at every turn with a new vengeance of convincing allied moralistic infiltrated thought. Be that as it may, as an artist, one must cast off the ‘babbling drones’ of righteous practicality for unearthed divine sublime erotic splendor.
