The Direction of Action Causes the Shift

Begin your studies
Finish your tasks

What you begin
Will shift you through the past

You begin laying
Then you achieve sitting

Before you know it
You are walking

Then running
To the arms of the ones you love

Then what happens
You change

Something happens
Something changes your routine

The body becomes weak
The mind takes over

Nothing is fun
Everything is just a routine

To get you through the day
To silence your love of living

You stop running and playing
There is no time for that

Then the body only wants to walk
Because anything more is just too much

Fear has taken hold
The mind prevents the body from reaching

Reaching new limits
Stretching to rejuvenate itself

More and more the body stiffens
Until only sitting is what you want to do

Sitting
Completing daily routines that encourage sitting

Sitting
Until sitting has weakened the body to nothing

Nothing can be done
Sitting is just too much

You lay down
Where you feel the most comfortable

Laying in bed
Laying on the couch

Everything you ever wanted to do
Has been silenced by the mind

You feel there is nothing to do
The body feels that it cannot do anything

The body’s needs have been silenced
Its entire lifetime has been lived in silence

The mind has achieved absolute control
Nothing moved because the mind prevented it

The reverse has reached its completion
And you are turned to dust

Every life has a cycle
Most cycles are very similar

The world is a very difficult place
You must fight for your life every day

Your mind is your primary competitor
Other minds are on your mind’s team

Anything to keep you safe
When safety is doing nothing new

Safety to the mind
Is only doing what it already knows

Safety to the mind
Is only doing what can be controlled

Safety to the mind
Is only doing what the mind knows has no variables

Safety to the mind
Is what keeps you limited

You must fight your mind
You must win the battle

The only thing that changes your routine
Is you choosing to change it

No matter what the mind says
You must change your routine

Choose the direction of your life
Never allow the mind to choose

If you want change in your life
You must command your mind

Why is changing get more difficult as you age
Because the mind’s routines have taken root

You must break more and more attachments
To break free from the deeply rooted routines

Routines are attachments
Routines are addictions

The same set of actions every day
Create safety for the mind

If you want to change the course of action in your life
You must command your mind

Nothing is difficult
The mind is screaming that it is

What the mind is screaming
Is not accurate or your Truth

The only way to know you
Is to listen to your Truth

The only way to break free from your silenced Truth
Is to silence your mind
