911-A Reality Shift

A person who gives up all desires for

sense gratification, who lives free from

desires, who has given up all sense of

proprietorship, and is devoid of false ego,

he alone can attain real peace. That is the

way of the spiritual and godly life, after

attaining which a man is not bewildered.

Being so situated, even at the hour of death,

one can enter the kingdom of GOD.

BHAGAVAD-GITA

Your body is the temple.

Your mind is the gateway.

Your heart is the innermost door.

The Eternal Spirit is your guest.

Open the door and let the Spirit in.

Ty Hill-1993

For I tell you that many prophets and kings

have desired to see these things which ye see,

and have not seen them; and to hear these things

which ye hear; and have not heard them.

LUKE 10:24

The GOD who made the world and everything in it

is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in

temples built by hands. And the Spirit is not served by

human hands, as if it needed anything, because the Spirit

itself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

ACTS: 17:24

AUTHORS NOTE

It wasn’t until this book was originally

printed in 1996 that I realized it had

a mild religious flavor. It was truly

not my intent. The most obvious reason

for this is that I was born and raised

in a religion professing country. It is

not my intent to offend any believer

or to convert any non-believer. My only

intent is to cause you, the reader, to

pause and think. If at any time during

your reading you stop and reflect upon

the perceptions presented, my goal will

then have been achieved.

May peace be with you.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to express my appreciation to my late grand-mom, Ethel; my mom, Mary; and my wife, Linda. It is because of their love that my sensitivity and understanding continues to grow.

To my father, my siblings, relatives and friends, all who provided encouraging support.

A special thanks to all the people, past and present who have patiently endured my philosophical rantings and ravings.

All that I am and will become is dedicated to the Eternal Spirit whose gift of life and spiritual prompting has shaped me into the entity that I am today.

A BIRDS EYE VIEW

Imagine me as a bird. Any bird that you might see.

Flying, resting, eating, sleeping, all intermittently.

Resting on a telephone pole or the branch of a tree.

I’m just little bird and you pay no attention to me.

You don’t know I’m intelligent. You can’t believe it’s true.

But whether you believe it or not I’m always watching you.

I see you drive your vehicles and I see that you don’t care.

Depleting the earth of natural oil and polluting precious air.

I see humans play politics and wage war in GODs holy name.

Constantly murdering other humans like playing a video game.

I watch your homeless people struggle daily to survive

and desperate teenage mothers who hustle to stay alive.

In hospital windows I’ve seen babies born

with crack in their veins

and a high probability of damage to their brains.

I’ve watched people create regulations our governments

instill as laws.

The result of which is a world of people full of spiritual

flaws.
