Philosophy: Physical Pain Of Existence Poem by Margaret Alice

We are
radio receivers;
our mind’s radio
is tuned to
specific signals
and we choose
what experience
we attract –

I’m trying to
tune my mind
to FM Classic
all the time,
aiming to attract
harmony and
classical beauty
in pleasing proportions –

though
I’m not successful.
I begat blinding
mind-disturbance
before I discovered
Abraham’s theories;

it seems
I’m tuned to
too many negative things
with my dial set to
bad political views,
conflict and
society’s problems,
exploitation and
lack of respect;

he recommends replacing
every negative thought
with a positive
counter-effect…

I read Abraham’s advice
over and over again,
hoping that focusing
on his positive
radio station
will help me
overcome fear
and alienation
from the physical
pain of existence…
