Seventeen Seconds
is all it takes to capture
a negative entity
invading your thought process
Your future is built by such—
you get what you think about
whether you want it or not
Within 17 seconds of focus
a matching vibration
will activate
Within 68 seconds
gravitation initiates—
manifestation begins
Despite circumstance:
spilt coffee or milk—
seventeen seconds infuses it
( should you choose )
with the frequency of Gratitude:
it'll be a lesson learned;
the Seventeen Second Rule;
but, most importantly—Freedom
from its future classroom

That's just activation; if you can hold it for 68 seconds. . . ☺
Seriously, it's not east to master, only possible.

Re. Seventeen Seconds
This is passionate and wise. Thank you, A. Needed, as ever.
Sometimes I wish I would choose gratitude over frustration and as a result destruction, it's something I must learn through dedicated practice. You have a great capacity to teach.

Seventeen seconds to lasso that sucker, dismount your horse and tie it up. Yeehaw!
It takes practice.
Especially when it comes to the opposite; thinking of something you would like to happen - without insisting it is impossible - for those 17 to 68 seconds.
built, will, spilt, milk, it'll- splendid use of internal rhymery going on.
Well done, Sweetie. XO
( thinks of smooching you for no less than 17000000000 seconds )

I channel customers who haven't bought in a while. More often than not they then buy something. Karma ? Somethin'

Dear A,
Does this mean if I hold the second handful of M&M’s for 17 seconds I won’t eat them?
I’m going to try this. I’ll let you know after tomorrow morning weigh in if it worked 😉 Thank you for the lesson. H🌷

We are in full agreement, we are what we focus on, thought is a powerful thing and so knowing that requires one to think helpful thoughts. Very nicely conveyed, like this very much

My father always taught me that knowing is half the battle, Northern. He was always so right.
Thank you, and God speed on your travels!

thoughts are the catalytic precursors to all..the faith the being the doing the going..& whatnots..
Loved the seventeen seconds ..coming rolling down as a sirening rigorous specificifation .. for the dark or their shades therein. to infuse..seems hears like the exposure period of one to imbibe effects ..their looming in traits. What equally comes into Light are the Eyeful Light within & around ..the freedom. juz me as ev ..coming encapsulated & concise in the timed timing... thanks Wise One :)

Ohhh I like that, Uma - the exposure period is indeed the aperture which controls the amount of light entering the snapshot! We can open it as wide or as small as we like with our thoughts.
Thank you, my friend. xo

Oooh Ahavati ... this encapsulates an aspect of The Universe that is simultaneously exciting, frightening, challenging and comforting. I like the way that the title forms an integral part of the poem.

Thank you, Lozzamos. I am a follower of Abraham ( among many others ) - and they say 17 seconds; works for me. I hope everyone finds what works for them.
