The Universe – Force

Filed under: Growing Up — Vasilios Theodorakis @ 6:00 pm

The story is only half told in each case.
The martial arts understand but do not say what,
The religions say what but few understand.
Combined we get a whole picture;
An energy gift we all possess;
Something given to us to develop,
Not force!
Something which should flow;
Something absent from man in zero A.D./B.C. ,
But present in everyone today.
Only it must be searched for to become apparent.
It is not like our material world – but is in some ways, similar.
It helps you control your mind and body,
Understand your surroundings,
And reveal “truth”.
But it has been abused, forgotten and in our time impossibly hard for people to find.
Unless, they are shown.

The Circle

Filed under: Growing Up — Vasilios Theodorakis @ 6:00 pm

Inside; and no way out.
Built up by portraits on paper.
Why am I within?
Locked there,
Told – become something to earn a living.
But what if…… what if……
You don’t want a living.
What if, all you ever want to do is wonder, look, question…… discover!
Is it wrong?!
“They”,
Tell me it is.
“They” say there is no spirit…… no God.
When there is.
“They” pressure you – don’t think about things,
Just take my word for it;
When I can’t.
People say, feel with your body;
But I say, to feel with your spirit is a greater achievement.
I can see their point of view.
But how can you do something that is not a branch sprouting from your body?
I must admit;
No matter what they say or do,
I can’t,
And hopefully never will.
