Poetry: The hidden room

I dwelled within a hidden room,
I found it hard to find me within.
My soul lay beyond my mind,
accessible only through my heart.
The hiddenness was not in me, though.
It was created in my mind, by my mind.
Hidden rooms are a part of our psyche,
as long as we hide anything from our self.
Silence opens the key to our real inner room,
but our real inner room is not hiding in our heart.
The hidden room we hide within, in our mind,
stops us from entering the real inner room of our heart.
What is hidden from you,
is not really hidden from you.
It is merely not in your conscious
mind yet, right now, for you to see.

Do not allow the knowledge in your mind to block the opening in your heart.

Yes, thanks.
We all need to clean out our hidden rooms, and our attics, and basements too sometimes.
Mind, and emotional clutter, can drown us in deep waters, and so we struggle with life, rather than living it in joy, from our hearts, for God.

i like the line what is hidden is not hidden.
What we cannot see isn't always because it isn't there. Sometimes it is because we are not ready!

Thanks, Scott. Nothing is ever really hidden, from us. All knowledge is there for the undigging.
Knowledge on its own though, can sometimes just swell our heads.
We also need to pair it up with the love in our hearts, so that that love, (and/with knowledge), is used wisely, and properly, for its best usages, in this world.
The right power, comes from the right directed energy, being directed rightly.
The wrong power comes from abuse of energy, directing it for head projects (ego wants), rather than heart-directed ones.

@DocAndersen Do we always want to stop floods though?
Maybe, sometimes it is better to be carried along by one, instead of building walls of knowledge against the truth.
The value of knowledge is whether it connects us to truth, or blocks us away from it.
Some scientists have been known to bury their heads in knowledge, and it then takes someone like Einstein, then, to come along and throw the old knowledge out, and inject some fresh stuff in.
Walls need to be broken down by knowledge, not put up, I would more say.

@innertalks i would argue that knowledge is more like bricks. A wall of two bricks will not stop a flood. But a wall of 10 bricks wide and 100 bricks tall will stop most floods.
the value of knowledge is the acquistion.

That is the real mystery for us creating all the misery - mindless pursuit of those that are transient while the real treasure is within us, lying dormant due to our ignorance of the very basics.
We keep climbing the wrong mountains expending all our energy and time pursuing and accumulating those that prove of no use in the end. Then life here becomes an empty ride.

Yes, the real treasure must be uncovered from our hearts, by our removing God's wrapping from it, which we do need to do ourselves, by making the right efforts in life too. Loving rightly dissolves these wrapping for us as well.
Otherwise, following our heads only, they (our heads) will be held too high, and float us up wrong mountains, and low valleys, and everywhere else too, to try to find the treasures, which our mind thinks are treasures, but in truth, they never are.

@Shiva49 Yes, so as spiritual beings we should use our tools wisely, such as our mind, our thoughts, and our body, and our emotions, and not let any one of these tools rule us, or even try to be us, the real us.

@innertalks Mind is like a monkey jumping from one branch to another.
By focusing and mooring it in our creator and love, we get the right focus.
Then frivolous pursuits are discarded.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - drives home our purpose here.
