Problems in a Post-Therapy World

11/23/2021

You have come with a problem: Help me with my life!
Help me make it better
Help me spruce it up, but
keep it nice and tidy, no tough assignments please.
Just as is, but a little off the top--
more attractive, more assured; better but the same.

You do not want the one thing needed:
worldview crumbled, turned on your head,
demolished, deconstructed, destroyed in the Flame of Truth--
less allure, less esteem, broken but holy, crazily sacred,
and actually sane.

Conditioned to look for help that looks like something,
something expected and familiar--
a life coach, a therapist, a personal trainer--
to give you what you demand you need.

This is not that

This is Religion, Yoga, YHWH (Religare, Yug, the Name that can't be named)--
bound up in love by One you've been running from
This is Divining: subtracting and dividing, not adding and multiplying
Divide as in break down
(walls, obstacles, your precious very self
dear ideas, blind beliefs, adherence to experiences and expectations
your lovings, leavings, and longings).
Subtract as in take away
(attachments, attractions, bastions
grasping, reaching, and the objects thereof
all your piles of treasure now trinkets on a shelf, dust and ash).

You are looking for something you recognize, but
before this you've never seen.
Anything you conjure can pale in stale contrast to the
grandeur, the glory, the greatness of the 
most familiar, the most mistaken, the most obvious--
That Which You Just Can't Miss
That Which None Can Deny...nor truly try to be

Anything other than what It Is, and the problem of what it asks of you:
Everything.
