Business


I am an artist and poet. I love life, and beauty, self-education, and expansion. My spiritual realization is the central theme of my life. If I deplete all of my energies in the pursuit of a dollar then I have no energy left for the things that give my life joy and meaning. I will make enough money to live comfortably and to fund projects that I have a passion for. I will not compromise my ideals, humanity, and freedom doing something that I do not believe in and support holistically. My Father told me “Son do something (as a profession) that you love”. If in the course of doing this thing that I love, I tap into something that becomes successful beyond my wildest dreams, and I find myself riding the back of a Business Gazelle without having relinquished my integrity to get there. Then I shall share my success with others as a mentor and be able to look at myself in the mirror and not grimace in my soul.

THE GARDEN


AS I INHALE….THE FRAGRANCE OF SPRINGS FIRST TROPICAL ROSE HARVEST FILLS MY LUNGS
WHEN I EXHALE A TEPID BREEZE INVIGORATES THE RAIN FOREST THAT BIRTHS IN IT’S WAKE….LUSH RAINBOW HUED VEGETATION SPRINGS ALIVE UNDER MY FEET I WAVE MY HAND AND THE SACRED SUBLIME FORMS THAT FILL MY MIND DOMINATES THE LANDSCAPE
I AM IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES, THE SUPREME ONE IS SEATED ON HIS THRONE GARBED INHIS SACRED ROBE AND FITTED WITH HIS CROWN, DRINKING HEAVENLY LIBATION FROM HIS CHALICE, WITH THE ROYAL SEPTRE FIRMLY IN HAND. I AM GREETED BY THE HOLY ONE. I BOW MY HEAD AND CLASP MY HANDS IN THE PRAYING HANDS GESTURE AS I GREET HIM AND MY BRETHREN WHO ALL CARRY THE SUPREME ONE IN THEIR CHEST’S. IN THIS WORLD NONE OTHER EXISTS
WHEN I PEER THROUGH THESE EYES OF MINE THE GARDEN OF EDEN UNFOLDS AROUND ME………………. THIS IS MY HABITAT…..MY HEART BEATS IN CELESTIAL HARMONY WITH THE DIVINE RHYTHM…………THE SUN SHINES WHERE EVER I CAST MY CONSCIOUSNESS………THE MOON IS MY NIGHT LIGHT
THE BIRDS SING IN CELEBRATION AS CREATURES OF DISSIMILAR NATURES FROLIC AND CARESS……… BECAUSE THERE IS NO NEED HUNT ALL NEEDS ARE SUPPLIED HERE
I AM A MYSTIC AND THIS IS MY PATH…….MY WORK IS TO BE HERE…..TO LIVE HERE……
AND TO ALWAYS REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET THAT THIS IS WHO I AM. 

DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND



I MAY BE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND…..
WELL I GUESS, I’M JUST THAT SORT OF MAN
IT’S BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR MANY AND SOME JUST NEVER TRIED
I’M A LONER BY DEFINITION
FOR ME THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY OTHER WAY….
THE GOOD NEWS IS AFTER EVERY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS COMES A BRAND NEW DAY
EACH DAY ALL MY OLD BAGGAGE HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND
I MUST TRAVEL LIGHT TO FREE MY MIND
A BIRD CAN’T FLY WITH A BROKEN WING AND A CRIPPLE MAN CAN’T WALK
YESTERDAY I COULDN’T SING…..TODAY I CAN SHOUT
LOVING AND BEING LOVED HAS BROUGHT ALL THIS ABOUT
I FEEL A FIRE IN THE PIT OF MY SOUL
I HAVE A STORY THAT’S BEEN JUST ITCHING TO BE TOLD
I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I’LL BE IN THIS LAND…..
I DO KNOW WITH EVERY BREATH I ASPIRE TO BE A BETTER MAN.
I AM

PROOF



YOU SAY PROVE IT. I SAY, PROVE IT TO WHOM?
MY PROOF IS FOR ME AND YOURS IS FOR YOU.
I HAD TO MAKE 180 DEGREE TURN AND SEARCHED IN THE DARK, STUMBLING, GRUMBLING AND FALLING UNTIL I LAY PROSTRATE ON THE GROUND.
MY HIGHER SELF WAS CALLING IN AN ALMOST INAUDIBLE VOICE....SAYING, GET UP FOOL! I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU’LD COME AROUND.
HE SAID, I’VE BEEN WITH YOU SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
I’LL NEVER LEAVE YOU...YOUR MINE, ALL MINE.
IT SAID FILL YOUR LAMP WITH OIL AND COME WALK WITH ME. I HAVE MANY WONDROUS THINGS I WANT YOU TO SEE....
IT’S NOTHING YOU HAVE TO DO; I JUST WANT YOU TO BE.....
THAT WHO YOU REALLY ARE.......YOU’RE ONE WITH ME.
                                                                          I AM

LOVE


LOVE IS A STRANGER TO MOST PEOPLES TABLE....
THAT WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS, WAS ONLY A FABLE.
LOVE IS A REALITY WHEN WE SEE THE ALL AS ONE AND THEN IT BECOMES A FICTION WHEN WE SEE THE OTHER AS ANOTHER.
TWO IS AN ILLUSION.
LOVE IS TRUE WHEN IT IS EXCLUSIVE TO SELF.....WHICH IS INCLUSIVE OF ALL AS THE GREAT SELF..... 
BUT WHEN WE BEGIN TO VIEW THE MANY AS OTHERS THERE’S NO REAL LOVE LEFT.
DUALITY (TWO) IS THE ORIGIN OF SIN.
BLACK, WHITE, POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, LEFT, RIGHT, NIGHT, DAY,----ALL PAIRS OF OPPOSITES....THE TAKING OF ONE SIDE OR ANOTHER...MAKE POSSIBLE WAR, CONFLICT AND ALL FORMS OF CONTENTION.......
AND MANY MORE ATROCITIES TO TERRIBLE TO MENTION.
WE ARE ALL KIN. THE GREATEST KIN. KINSHIP WITH THE SELF. THE GREAT SELF. TURNAROUND 180 DEGREE’S. SEE THE MASTER. STICK OUT YOUR BREAST AND LEAP THROUGH THE WALL AND JOIN ME IN THIS ALCHEMICAL MARRIAGE.
I AM

MYSTERY



I KNOW THERE IS NO DEATH SO THERE’S NO NEED TO FEAR.
DEATH IS AN IMPOSTOR. THIS REVELATION SHOOK ME TO THE FLOOR.
NOW I WON’T BE DISTRESSED WHEN I SEE THIS IMPOSTOR STANDING AT MY DOOR.
WHEN THE IMPOSTOR ARRIVES ALL DRESSED IN BLACK......
IF THE GREAT WORK OF MY PERFECTING IS NOT COMPLETED....NO NEED TO WORRY.....I’LL BE BACK.
OUR LIFE AS WE KNOW IT IS ONLY A DREAM.
THE MIND STUFF IS ILLUSION AND NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS.
THE TRUE, ACTUAL, FACTUAL REALITY IS INTANGIBLE AND CANNOT BE SEEN.......
YET THIS IS THE INFINITE, IMMORTAL, OMNIPOTENT ENTITY THAT’S THE SOURCE OF ALL THINGS.
                                 I AM

I HAVE A STORY  TO TELL AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES.
THIS STORY HAS MANY UPS AND DOWN AND TWISTS AND TURNS BUT WE’LL SEE HOW IT FLOWS.
I DREAMT THAT I AWOKE FROM A DRUNK CURLED UP AT THE BOTTOM OF A WELL.
I WAS WET OF SWEAT AND BURNING HOT, AS IF I’D RAN THROUGH HELL.
I FELT AROUND AND FOUND A BIG BOOK.
I OPENED THE FRONT COVER TO HAVE A LOOK.
IN THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IT HAD A HEADING THAT READ “CURRENT LIFE RELATIONS” AND THE NEXT HEADING READ “PAST LIFE INCARNATIONS”.
I TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND MY HEAD BEGAN TO SWOON.
I MADE MYSELF COMFORTABLE AND READ UNTIL NOON.
THIS WAS NOT A PROJECT I’D BE THROUGH WITH SOON.
I REALIZED FROM CLOSE REVIEW THAT THERE WERE MISTAKES THAT I’D MADE NUMEROUS TIMES.
THERE WERE REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS, TENDENCIES AND DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS OF VARIOUS KINDS.
UNDER SCRUTINY I REALIZED MY FLAWS.
EVERY ACT OF SUFFERING HAD THE SAME CAUSE.
AS I WENT FURTHER FROM MY HIGHER SELF I HAD TO BE BROUGHT BACK, HENCE THE SUFFERING......IT WAS NOT A CRUEL ACT.
NATURAL LAW WILL NOT LET US ALONE....,
UNTIL WE OF OUR OWN ACCORD COME BACK HOME.
I’M TIRED OF BEING BEATEN AND CHOKED BY THE NECK.....
FOR VIOLATIONS OF COSMIC LAWS THAT I HAVE BROUGHT INTO EFFECT.
I HAVE FINALLY SURRENDERED TO MY HIGHER SELF.
I WILL BE ITS SLAVE UNTIL THERE'S NO PAIN LEFT.
PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYER, I”M AS SINCERE AS CAN BE.
I VOW TO REMAIN YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT FOREVER, NO MATTER HAPPENS TO ME.    

I AM   

HOLY JAZZ


                          

I FEEL A POEM COMING...
IT’S MORE THAN A RHYME.
THE NATURE OF THE THEME IS DIVINELY SUBLIME.
I’M CRADLED IN A REALM THAT I CAN’T DEFINE.
I FEEL THE ART BUT I’M NOT THE ONE DRAWING THE LINE.
I FEEL A RHYTHM WITH AN ERRATIC BEAT.
THE JAZZ IS IMPROMPTU.
A DANCE WITH NO FEET
IT’S CHOREOGRAPHED FROM ABOVE.
IT’S A PLAY WITH NO SCRIPT.
IT’S NAME IS LOVE.
ALL OF US ARE ACTORS IN THIS DIVINE DRAMA.
UNWRITTEN VERSE’S ARE REVEALED.....
WITHOUT THE AGENCY OF LIPS OR EARS
I’M BECOMING ONE WITH MY CHARACTER AS DEEPLY AS I CAN.
REMEMBERING THAT UNDER THE GUISE OF FLESH...
LIES THE REAL MAN.

                        I AM

CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD



A disgruntled Sunday Church Goer fell on hard times, so he called on God.
God said, “WHAT DO YOU WANT.” The Church Goer said,” I’ve given you everything”....
God interrupted and said, “YOU’VE GIVEN ME NOTHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE.”
“THAT BREATH YOU NOW TAKE IS MINE AND THAT”S MY LIFE THAT YOU LIVE.”
“YOU DISRESPECT MY BREATH AND LIFE AS YOURS AND ARE NOW PAYING THE COST.”
GOD SHOUTED, “I AM THE BREATH,” “I AM THE LIFE, AND ANY OTHER SUPPOSITION IS DEATH.
“YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN ME BUT IT IS ME THAT BELIEVE IN YOU.
YOUR DAYS ARE FILLED WITH FOLLY AND YOUR NIGHTS ARE FILLED WITH PERVERSION.
YOU GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND WASTE YOU SEED ON THE FLOOR AND ON WHORES ON MONDAY. TUESDAY YOU DEVISE PLOTS AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR AND WEDNS DAY YOU STUDY THE BIBLE AND PRACTISE FOR THE CHOIR. THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY YOU ACT AS THOUGH YOU’VE FORGOTTEN WHO I AM........AND THEN SUNDAY YOU’RE BACK AT CHURCH PRAYING, SINGING, PREACHING, SHOUTING  AND CALLING OUT MY NAME.....I DON’T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY...I DO KNOW  ITS A SHAME. YOU PAY HOMAGE TO THE DARK-SIDE WITH YOUR PASTIMES AND CONVENTIONS. YOU INVITE DISEASE AND POVERTY INTO YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR SELF IMPOSED SEPARATION FROM YOUR BROTHERS. YOU WISH YOUR BROTHER ILL WILL AND OFTENTIMES YOU HAVE PLOTTED TO KILL. YOU MISLEAD YOUR BRETHREN BY THE WAY YOU BEHAVE BECAUSE OTHERS ARE MORE INFLUENCED BY YOUR ACTIONS THAN BY YOUR FEEBLE WORDS. YOU SPEW HATRED AND PROFANITIES FROM YOUR MOUTH FOR NO APPARENT REASON. YOUR WORDS GROW MORE DIVISIVE AND UNKIND WITH THE CHANGING OF THE SEASON.
NOW YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM ME BUT YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LINE. I’M NOT ACTIVE IN YOUR WORLD AND YOU’RE NOT ACTIVE IN MINE. IF WANT ME TO HELP, FINE....BUT FIRST LET’S GET SOME THINGS STRAIGHT....DROP YOUR  HYPOCRITICAL WAY......COME INTO MY WORLD AND ADMIT YOU WERE LIVING A LIE.
LET’S DROP YOUR OLD MAN AND LET’S REBIRTH YOU AGAIN –BRAND NEW. TRUST IN ME... I’LL DO THE WORK...BECAUSE IT’S CLEAR YOU DON’T HAVE A CLUE.
I AM

OIL FOR THE LAMP



I AM FILLING THE LAMP WITH PRECIOUS DROPS OF MY OILY NECTAR
THE VITAL ESSENCE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD AND AS IT ACCUMULATES IT PRODUCES DIVIDENDS MANIFOLD
I AM WALKING MY PATH WITH MY LAMP IN HAND
THE LAMPLIGHTS MY FOOT STEPS THROUGH THIS HOLY LAND
ALTHOUGH I CALL THIS A PATH, NOONE HAS COME THIS WAY BEFORE
MY COMPASS IS POINTED TO DIVE
MY NORTH STAR IS WITHIN
THIS IS MY HIGHER WORLD JOURNEY LEAVING THE OLD WORLD BEHIND
I’M TRAVERSING A WORLD THAT’S DEVOID OF BOTH SPACE AND TIME
I’M ON THE CROSS……THE VERTICAL LINE
ITS BODILY EQUIVALENT IS THE HUMAN SPINE
THIS IS FUEL FOR ENLIGTENMENT, THE ULTIMATE GOAL…….
AN ALCHEMICAL PROCESS TO TURN BASE METALS INTO GOLD
I AM

I AM


I AM IS MY NAME.
I GET AROUND IN A 1952 LARRY W. WILLIAMS SR.
IT NEEDS SOME GRILL WORK AND IT HAS SOME FRAME RUST.
I KEEP IT CLEAN AND FUELED BECAUSE TENDER LOVING CARE IS A MUST.
THIS VEHICLE IS A SACRED EDUCATIONAL TOOL.
THIS WORLD IS MY HOLY DIVINITY SCHOOL.
MANY GRADES HAVE I COMPLETED.
SEVERAL TIMES BY NECESSITY FAILED LESSONS AND GRADES HAVE BEEN REPEATED.
SPIRITUAL PERFECTION IS MY MAJOR.
THE HOLIEST ONE TEACHES THE CLASS.
WHEN I FINALLY GRADUATE ...HALLELUJAH!
I'LL BE HOME AT LAST.
I HAVE REINCARNATED ON THIS EARTH A MULTITUDE OF TIMES.
I WILL CONTINUE TO  RETURN UNTIL THE VICTORY OF ENLIGHTENMENT IS MINE.
                                                                                            I AM
