Poem #332 - Step Outside

From Bryce Canyon, Utah

Step outside your body.
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.
We’re going on a little trip
Across that worldly line.

We’re going with the spirit
To another way of being.
Where you have no eyes nor hands
Yet in another way you’re seeing.

This is how real life is
When you step outside your skin.
It’s how the world will seem to you
When the next life you begin.

But there’s no need to wait
Until from this life you go.
This world is there just waiting
For its treasures you to know.

Sit with us now quite quietly.
Trust that your body will be fine.
Then with your mind step out of it
To where there is no space, no time.

All it takes is just a shifting
A mental movement, if you will.
Just place your Self beyond the skin
Where all is calm and still.

No great difference will you feel at first.
Just sit back, relax, and feel.
For now be the observer
And you’ll know what’s truly real.

There in the now-ness of this state
The past and future matter not.
It’s there that you can simply “be” -
Where all you need you now have got.

Slide back in your body when you’re done.
It’s waiting there for you.
But come back to this place quite often,
When you feel a visit’s due.

Doing this repeatedly
Will bring you great release.
For it’s the realm of spirit -
The place you always will find peace.
