TRIBAL WISDOM Chapter 13
by Aashid
That's the way I was when I knew
Because to know is to do the right thing
That's the way I was when
I walked through the shadows and felt no evil
Because the evil had to come from within me
It is our responsibility to the One
To know what is coming toward our being
It should be within our scope, the nature of this thing
And then we can follow the other trend
That leads away from the total absolute norm
The norm is never the right way
Even if it the best way for you
Because the masses are sleeping, and if you follow them
You will fall into an even deeper sleep
So look toward the inner center
And let it come from there
So the feeling will continue to tingle the whole tribe
As we move away from here
And we move toward our goals
Hoping we have similar ones
Not speaking of them but taking for granted
With conversation on the surface instead of the deeper
Open up the words that you use
And I will open up the ones that are mine
Mine only for the instant communication
That is possible with the right understanding
And connection
Right on over there, come on over here
And then I think I will know that we are absolutely in charge
Of this whole connection that we've made
This is our thing that we talk of
This is our torch that we bring
Towards the knowledge of aspirations and longings
And desires, and wishes and hopes
The dreams that are new to the ones
Who've not been dreamers
But they've been had before by some
Some are other than we thought they were
Because we were closed in our approach
And we were not accepting in our fact
The tree is full of knowledge
That we can often lean on in the woods
Deep in the heart of the mother
Up, out and through the life entrance and the life exit
We venture more to the wall of intention
And when we reach the other side
We feel that maybe we should have stayed on the other side
Because this requires something just a little bit different
From what we've always enjoyed
In fact, we've got to deal with a few more things
We've got to learn to tolerate just a little more
If our eyes are going to be this open
So maybe we ought to shut them again
And go back to our numbness and our sleep
But I don't think that would be the wise thing to do
Though it would be the easiest
But seldom is the wisest the easiest
Because wisdom must be attained
It's just not something you stumble upon
It's something that you have to gain
I can hear the pain from every corner
I can feel the horror that's within us
But still, now and then, I feel contentment
Just in hoping for better times, knowing they will come
I get a flash and then I remember
The honesty that most of us have lost
Because we say it is a necessity to win at any cost
Happiness is like a fever
It spreads everywhere, but it is ever fleeting
For there is always a negative somewhere
I sit in my luster, I crawl in my wealth
Hoping to reach the destination that I know
Deep down inside my inner self
All this credit is due to the love of Oneness
Through the love of the Most High, that is
Through the harmonies that are by cooperation
Happiness, come on in and join all of us on this planet
And further into the oceans of light
Happiness is a long addition to the one that has inner sight
Was this the reason that we talked this time
To use the words to get to here?
Oh no, there's more to be said
We're moving on and on, and this is the way it shall be
When we have left this binding season
To love the other times
The inquisical debates resounded through our temples
And through our minds, and through our spirits
And through our spiritual essences
This is a necessary happening
You've known that since the last time I told you
And even before then
Because, it's always been around with reincarnations
Since absolutely no one can say when
It was so long a go that it is out of our reason
It is out of our how-long-was-it ago
Because it was always with us
And there are parts of us which can't let go
On, over, through, the forum of life
We talk to the ones who knew they were happy
But didn't feel good
We talked to the ones that were feeling good
And didn't know they were happy
And we realized it's mostly a case of being out of touch
With who, what, where, when and how we are
