as the mind empties

as the mind empties so does the vital find space, for the tricks and traps of thinking create waves of denial and fear in the engine of the self. yet even when the mind stops completely, the vital takes on the role as master and director of the ship of life. here the desires bring their need and fear is trembling beneath every feeling. one has lost the usual banter and play of the mind and now realizes the jungle of the self, the untamed and preying animal of the lower nature, easily the king of the world but scared as a child locked in a cellar, lashing out at every imagined threat, painfully scared and lonely. inside the self, the engine that feeds the desire to be, the living breathing creation of manifest being, is an eternal babe, a child to all life and love, the indefatigable enchanted one that has no guile or protection. without the mind, whatever has been created from years of human life becomes the life within, the fears and hurts and unending self reprisals create a mockery of happiness and let loose a monstrosity within that has no guardian. here the demon of the inner child has become the master of your fate and will not rest until all is set to its liking. here is the time to make amends within to share the guilt and sadness to soothe the sorrow of years left alone and scared and bring together the child with the parent and let love work where it is most needed, within, loving the small yet powerful self of the child that first came to life in this body and bring resolution to the life of separation. even years spent in therapy and self examination cannot prepare you for the force of the vital child, finally heard and felt, a living presence within that needs only love. now is when the child becomes the parent and the parent the child until there is only one and nothing can come between them. then the vital can be cleared, let loose the million pains and trials it has been living with, the fears of everyday life magnified in a childs mind and driving out of control the life that needs to find peace and serenity to continue. the monster within becomes the blessed soul of love and finds the connection to true joy in every moment. this is the source of bliss, the wedded love of the child to the soul and all grace does descend to this happy moment.
