Our life is our stage and every day brings a new scene,
Live with the intent to create the best play that’s ever been,
In our personal life we are cast in the leading role,
Collecting knowledge, friendship and experiences as a toll,
Every one we encounter has a play of their own and is also in ours,
We all have different roles and we are all the stars,
Can be hectic with scene changes, egos and ideas to speak of,
Every play will come together when using the director named love,
Not only does love direct but dresses in disguises to act in our play,
To help carry us through the struggles we face living day to day,
Love is always around even when it appears to have gone to hide,
We can never escape love for inside our soul does love reside.

TRIALS
Life is full of lessons we learn as we go,
The easy the hard through people we know,
We may have to learn them on our own,
Our words and actions show we’ve grown,
We are not perfect not always right,
Pick yourself up take my hand and fight.

Unconditional Love will always have their handout. When you love yourself unconditionally, you will not be afraid to extend your own hand.

CHANGE
We live in the now; don’t regret your past,
Forgive mistakes; or you’ll bite your own ass,
The future is always unclear,
Don’t wait for others to make it appear,
Grab hold of your life and live it day to day,
Keep love at your side, it’s the only way,
Love ensures guidance and it will never change,
With love at your side, life is in range,
Targets become clear and within sight,
Follow your heart and what feels right.
RjB
Change is my reminder to be consciously aware of my surroundings, to always look for opportune moments in life, that is afforded to us all, all the time.

INTRODUCTION
I realise, I never introduced my self. I just jumped right into posting my thoughts and poems. For myself, this blog is my publisher. My way of voicing my inner thoughts unto this world we share.
Have you ever experienced a ghostly phenomenon, one that makes you blink your eyes and pinch yourself to make sure you are awake? Experiences that you would rather keep to yourself because to tell it to anyone else makes you appear crazy. Even as you are retelling the event, you yourself are questioning the experience. The moment was so vivid, and as real as you reading this book right now, as real as the time on the clock. Many of us have had these experiences, experiences we cannot write off as a coincidence, or as our imagination playing tricks. I have had such an experience, an experience that has forever changed my life. To summarize my experience, I hit rock bottom in my life, and from depths of my making I was shown the awesome power of the life energy from where you and I came. Whether you and I believe in the existence of divine life energy or fully perceive our understanding of this life energy does not change the fact that the energy of life exists. Humans have had to evolve into our intellect. Humans can now understand the divine necessity of love. I can now see the beauty of love. My hope is that, as you are reading my thoughts and poetry, you gleam a truth in my words. I write with the intention of expressing myself in a manner that has you relating with my perceptions of this world. My hope is that you realize, with all our differences, we are very much the same. We are all the same in this life, as we all contain a spirit. We have different struggles in this life, but we all struggle.
We all want the same out of life when you dig down to the core of our spirit; we want to leave behind a better place for our loved ones to live.
Hello, My name is Robert James. My friends call me Robbie; you may also call me Robbie for you and I are embarking on a new friendship. I thank you for taking time out of your day to read my thoughts and poems. You may be asking yourself how it is we can start a friendship with you only reading a book I wrote. Well, this book contains my deepest thoughts; it is a book of writing that comes from my soul. You are either reading this book out of sheer curiosity or you are a person mindful of his or her own soul and thoughts and beliefs. This book is my means of opening the line of communication between you and I, therefore a foundation for which great friendships are founded. Even the greatest of friends have to respectfully agree to disagree. I was not always forward and talkative. Actually I was the exact opposite, and never would I have dared to bare my soul to complete strangers. Yet that is what I have found myself doing, not only now, but in my personal life too. My belief is that if I take the time and open up to the person or persons I’m interacting with during that particular moment of time, then they will have at that opportunity a chance to open up to me too, we make a connection through communication. To speak to me, is to get to know me, to know me is giving my self a chance to be liked and/or at least gain some respect from you. I am a man who believes in honesty. First however I had to learn to be honest with myself about whom I was and how I became to be the man I was. I was a shy introspective individual haphazardly walking through life. I’m using the term haphazardly loosely; I have a wonderful life, a life with no regrets. A life I care about. What was haphazardly about my life was my care to understand whom I was and how it related to love. My life was grand, full of love. Do I need to understand more than that? I believed in love but did not understand it, how could I have learned what love was through a religion that did not completely make sense? How does a world with so much love have so much injustice? Why am I apart of this world? What has shaped me to the man I am? How can I be the man I want to be? Some tough questions to answer, but as you continue to read, my hope is that you will find these answers for yourself as you follow along with me. We all have a past that has led us to this exact moment in time. Your past is a part of your journey here in this life, if we change even one moment of our past, the ripple effect of where we are now would have changed immeasurably. I love my life and if a chance were given to me to change anything in my life, I would not take it. Fact is none of us are given a chance at a do-over. Our decisions we make are permanent; they lead us into the next moment to make another decision. We do however have a choice, to make a decision that will lead us to where it is we want to be. We need to learn from our mistakes, question our self why we made that decision, what was I feeling. Don’t assume we know it all; maybe our perception of our self is wrong. Love can bring all this into focus; make sense of your life. When you have a clearer perception of whom you are, and why you are, than you may perceive your life and your actions in life differently than before. Understanding love has brought me to this point in time but not for free and the toll was not paid for by me alone. I did not solicit for any ones help and no one volunteered but through my actions, lives changed. This holds true for all of us; our actions affect everyone, even people we do not know.

LIFE
Let me try to explain what I see and through a terrifying night was made clear,
Our world’s injustice and religious battles have added to confusion and fear,
Throughout the ages our purpose of life was programmed and shaped with scripture,
We put trust into the hands of government and religion that painted a pretty picture,
As we continue day in and day out, we can see how this picture loses its charm,
We notice how our economic materialistic nature can cause so much harm,
We are confused because this life can seem so fantastic and grand,
As we live our lives contradicting the love that love showed with a caring hand,
Putting great power into the names and stories from which loves message was sent,
Observe your feelings and listen to those around and abroad as they live and vent,
The majority wants nothing more then to live in harmony and peace showing love,
First we must admit this current life is not the way for all under the sky above,
This is happening, even though our conscious thoughts are unaware of our action,
New generations are learning to dismiss the stories and share love to gain traction,
As I see it, religions have been the medium for the divine’s message of love,
We see the beauty through the ugly, forget the medium as it leads to push and shove,
Imagine the world as we know it, all of a sudden came to a sudden death,
Only ten thousand or so humans were left,
Empathize and feel, put yourself in their shoes and think what would I do,
You would learn from past mistakes and start freshly only sharing love as was taught
through the divines message for me and you,
Why must the toughest lessons be taught from rock bottom on our knees,
Read this not through my eyes but through the love of my spirit if you please.

CREATION OF LIFE
With the creation of life, creating a life form built in your image is partly arrogant and partly full of love, creating a life form in your image is also beautiful. Just look at a baby, hold their little hand in yours. Life on this planet would have and maintained a balanced harmony. The other animals don't worry about their feelings and those of others, that's the beauty of nature, it just is.
The question is, do you believe the creators image is this human form, or our formless spirit/life energy?
Just as you and I pass along traits to our creations, we were also passed along traits from the creator of life. Arrogance and Love. It is very arrogant of our thoughts, our inner voice to believe in only the existence of this form. Our brains intellectual ego feels it is superior over our existing formless spirit/life energy. Those before you and I, with their arrogance and through ignorance, created this life we live.
It is up to you and I to remove the ignorance from our inner voice, our thoughts and learn to lead through learning to follow our life energies direction. Our life energy is from our creators love for life. When we follow the love emanating from our life, we will lead life into love.
Truth becoming law or faith, places truth inside a vicious circle, such circles must be broken, not by seeking knowledge, but through removing ignorance. (para-phrasing Bruce-Lee)
Any problem created, cannot be solved with the same level of consciousness. (again para-phrasing Albert Einstein)
Through removing our ignorance we elevate our consciousness to follow the enlightenment of our life energy.
We reshape our tool, and thereafter our tool reshapes us.(quoting Marshal McLuhan)
and again Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Is it not time to stop the insanity? Remove the ignorance from our thoughts, by learning from the mistakes of our arrogance. Should add, the tool we are reshaping, is our brain. If we don't reshape our brain, we will continue to have the same results in life. When your brain is reshaped, you will no longer view a stranger as a stranger, that stranger will be your brother or sister and your actions will be different.
Those of you that believe the name of life's creator is God?
Hallowed is thy name. God is only a name, an empty shell. What the name represents is where the truth is. Remove the ignorance that we know the creators name, and see the truth that our creator does not need a name for us to feel love. Love does not need a name or a form to hold your love. Love just is. I've also heard at church, that God is with you always. A piece of God is inside you, inside us all making us family in Gods creation of earth. I do not doubt these words of God, I just am removing the ignorance from my thoughts, that were placed there through the ignorance of those before me. I remove the names and believe in the love the names represent. I am not removing the ignorance because I don't believe, it is because I do believe in a life energy inside me that is guiding my actions, I do believe we are ALL brothers and sisters. Life is as it is, we learn as we go. But if we allow the ignorance to remain, we place truth in a vicious circle. Regardless of the religion you were raised on, all those religions contain their unique ignorance. If we can remove the ignorance and see the truth of a life energy inside us that is affected and can affect, then we will be proving life is as it is suppose to be. Our children, our future will have a belief that because we breathe and are alive, we are family. With a new understanding/new view, a new creation will exist. We have a long list of arrogance to change, but every new direction begins with a first step. That first step is to remove the ignorance from your thoughts. Evidence of the power that can ensue when the ignorance is removed is the United States President, Barrack Obama. Not that long ago, slavery existed.
When we place life in the hands of God, we are really placing life into our hands.
It is one in the same, the power of God is inside us. The power we have, is our life energy. What we do now, is what matters.
