Life sets me free

The Course in Miracles folks
do not get that ACIM describes 
the power of the conscious mind.
Most are new age bible thumpers.

The neo advaita discipline claims 
that enlightenment is ‘no mind’.
They throw Baby Jesus out 
together with the bath-water.

Buddhism would have the answers;
meditate 12 hours a day, they say,
and realize that thoughts and  
feelings pass like clouds in the sky.

I can’t sit still for hours on end;
we are born to live a life, aren’t we?
We can meditate when in Heaven;
I guess I am just a restless fellow.

With a free conscious mind and
an ability to just be; with a kind 
heart and an eye for Oneness,
life sets me free here and now.
