Night by William Blake | Songs of Innocence | Poetry Reading |Soothing | Mystical Poetry

Did you know that I self-published a book of poetry for self revenge? Yes, I had written a collection of poems since 1990 or 1991. I am amazed that I am so old. 

When I was going through the poems to consider for publishing, I noticed it became.... 

 A 20yr journey seeking love 

Pieces of life stitched thru poetry 

A girl who believed God did not notice her.

...A poetic journey of self-transformation. 

 I was first exposed to hard-core poetry with a book by William Blake in English Literature class. I could not understand what any of the poems meant but our teacher was so good she explained line by line! 

 Later, when I managed to get into university, I enrolled in a writing class to fulfil the dream of becoming a novelist. Alas, my professor made us write poetry instead! With my poor written and spoken English, it was a frightening experience to read aloud what I wrote in front of a class of all Americans. 

I thought I was wasting my tuition fees in this class. So, I swore to myself I have to make it worth my time someday. However, the professor gave me lots of As and that boosted my confidence that I could also have a knack for poetry.

After thinking for years, I finally gathered the courage to self publish, despite all the objections from my head. 

Here, I am trying to do something new -- to record spoken poetry and use my basic editing & artistic skills to make a meaningful video.

Enjoy "Night" by William Blake.

Don't Tell Me The Ending!

Don't tell me the ending! 

That's what a lot of us would say to those who've watched the movie before us. 

"You better not tell me the ending!" No, we wanna be surprised! 

Have you heard that people have been beaten up for daring to shout out the ending to moviegoers lining up in the lobby for the next show?

THE END -- those iconic words that appear on the screen at the end of a movie. Two simple words that symbolize the end of an experience, etch either a satisfaction or distaste in our spirit whenever we get up to leave the theatre. It could be the decisive point of a star rating by any movie critic. 

Very often, a writer would start writing but have a problem ending. I know I did. For years, I would attempt to start a fictional story but I didn't know how to continue it till the end. So, as a result, I haven't become a novelist.

Moviemakers have often had to edit more than one version of a movie for the different world markets that they hope to screen in. Why? Because some endings are deemed unacceptable to certain cultures.

Well, for me, the strong message of how "the end" is so important in one's life started one night, after some beer, whisky and wine at a bar. Someone that I recently befriended, a successful and wise guy my age, took my palm and started looking at it for clues. In case you start guessing, nope, I can assure you that I am not his type. He merely wanted to see if I was a good prospect to be in business with. 

What he said to me got me confused. He told me that I had to trust in someone even if it's risky. "Then True Love Comes." 

At first, I started arguing with him over his statement, but after that, thinking, it slowly sank in. 

That was so hard for me to accept. But that signified the end to a search. 

We all desire, wish, chase and hope for something in our lives. Some people can see their goals very clearly. Some people are still wondering and truly become wandering spirits in this world. But there's no denying that everyone desires for something that could make us happy. Have you ever met someone who said "All I ever want is to be unhappy"? 

I then further discovered a spiritual teacher, Neville Goddard, and listened to an old audio recording of his on YouTube over and over again, "Live In The End." What in the world does that mean? 

Well, it basically reveals to us that our power or failure is to be able to picture what we want in the end -- the end of a week, the end of a forty-year hardship, the end of a desire, the end of a hoping, of a search, of a question. 

Yes, picture the end of that which you wish for -- without any wavering in your belief, without any doubts. Then, miraculously, an invisible, all-knowing energy will "work it backwards" ...then "fast it forward" to get you to that spot that you have pictured as "The End."

Try it and see if it works. If you could have whatever you want, tell yourself what that ending should be. 

The End.
