Master
to be the master
of all that’s surveyed
must come with
many pitfalls
but to serve
an unknown
invisible master
can create
an inescapable
prison

I like this wording. Know what you’re doing and why!
Thank you! 🙂 Exactly! And to thine own self be true. It’s great to meet you!
Serving an invisible Master causes me to never desire an escape….:)
Thank you! 🙂 It can become a comfortable place to hide.
Thing is: I don’t hide it. I’m proud of the fact…:)
I don’t blame you at all. We can’t hide who we are or what we believe in.
Knowing is what makes the difference.;0)
Thank you! 🙂 The truth is out there and it’s up to each of us to find it.
Yes. Individual choice should never be trampled upon.
I completely agree.
That’s a prison we willingly to submit ourselves without knowing if the “invisible master” requires us to do so. I think we are given a mind a free will to explore, question and find by ourselves and not chained to thousand years old dogmas regurgitated by people claiming to have a direct path to the “invisible master”.
Thank you! 🙂 Well said. A mind is a terrible thing to waste and if we sell ourselves short and fail to learn all there is to learn our minds will never expand and we will fail to grow as people.
I would rather make a decision to turn my life and will over to Him than to live within the confines of my own limited thinking and self-defeating actions. A spiritual prison is defined by our own attitudes and beliefs, often wretchedly warped by childhood experiences. Just my humble opinion.
If it works for you, Karen, no-one should think less of you. Though I must question your assertion that your thoughts should be “limited”. They need not be.
Thank you, Karen! 🙂 Our lives are going to be dictated by someone, something or us if we allow them to be. However, faith can be a refuge, a comforting part of life. The decisions we make regarding the guiding forces in our lives make a huge difference yet it’s all personal and each individual find comfort in different things.
Love the whole idea of the master
Great one John
Thank you, Sheldon! 🙂
Sounds like what addiction feels like.
Thank you, Doug! 🙂 I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.
Fantastic, and well said!
Thank you, Adam! 🙂 It’s a pleasure to meet you!
Yeah. People imprison themselves without even knowing it. Sad.
Thank you, Therese! 🙂 I can’t disagree with that statement in the least.
Certainly can. I’ve seen it.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s difficult to see someone you care about in bondage to their mind.
