Brian Michael Tracy’s poem continues…
Meditate on feeling. The heart has its own shore. Meditate on feeling. Bring the water to your oar. Gaze into the present. Through the prism of your eyes. Gaze into the present. For there is no more disguise.
I interpret this to live more in my body and be aware of the sensations that create the feeling of life.
This can be done by meditating. You can sit, go within, and just feel. You’ll probably learn more about your life in doing this vs watching educational programs, reading the paper, internet articles, or telling someone else all about yourself.

My friends,
If you are reading this, you are very lucky!
There’s a lot of self-help programs that are being marketed in a way that leads you to believe enlightenment can be yours, instantly.
That’s very dangerous and it sets you up for what is called “bypass.”
Bypass is the act of using spirituality to replace emotional and psychological wounding. It is a form of “giving it up to God” and then living in denial when your feelings are painful. Bypass is dangerous because it can mess with your mind, and create more emotional and psychological harm.
Now, I’m very spiritual and I have nothing against praying and asking for help from something greater than us. I’m only warning you to be responsible for your emotions. Yes, it hurts, Yes, it’s hard. And Yes, it is your ticket to growing, maturing, gaining wisdom and self love.
So the next time you pray for guidance, communicate with the angels, talk to spirits, or whatever, know that you need to DO something within yourself; your own body and mind needs to take responsibility and action.
Reid
