END THE MECHANISM OF AVOIDANCE
To become free
A freedom that allows life’s juice
To really flow
The mechanism of avoidance
Must be released and come to an end
Avoidance of what is here
Is the root of addiction, soft or hard
And is all consuming to our energy body
The mechanism itself, the desire to move away,
Cannot be released through force or gritted teeth,
But it must be met with our inner authority
And a steely resolve, a soft but firm decision
And an honoring of who we are and what we really want
Either we are slaves to the mechanism of desire
The desire to move away from or move towards
Or we become free of that mechanism
And face ourselves and life square on
Without any defense or mask or strategy
it is a choice we make, not once, not twice,
But again and again and again
Until it no longer has any real traction
There is such a great freedom in this.
