Know Your Story -Part 1

Do you want to live in existence of love
In the state of presence above all else?

Well there is something that is a must
Know your stories that bring you disgust

In the simplest of terms they bring their own meanings
From the victim who is always complaining
Blaming others for anything and everything

Then there are the stories of power and control
Forcing their will on others, trying their best to maintain control

And then there are the stories of fear, distrust, battle for every little thing
Significant even when it is not

So here we are as a Human Race
With stories that take us away from Grace
From the victim who gives their power away to others and things
Limiting their action to change
And the one who thirsts for power from others
Meanwhile inside is feeling powerless - their struggle
Then sometimes the story of fear in others
Not trusting and defensive is their inner motive
All the while their projection is only a reflection
Of what is deeply reveiled on the inside

So......
"Know all your stories"
Is what I am told
and eventually they will lessen their hold.

Synopsis:
As is said in this poem our stories that reflect our relationships with others that cause dissonance at times is our fall from grace.  Our rights and wrongs, our hopelessness, our Bullyingness etc... are all stories that we have acquired in this life.  Most of us have them.  Many times they take us out, make us angry, upset, dictator like, etc...  If we want to free ourselves from the strong hold that they have we must see them for what they are.  They are not real.  They are our perceptions from our certain narrow glasses.  No matter how just or unjust it seems in the moment.  If we desire more presence, then we must bring consciousness to these stories.
