Getting To Know You To Know Your Mind Poem by Terence George Craddock

a brilliantly written introspection
an extended artistic examination
of inner conscious thoughts feelings
merely part parcel in being a poet;
psychology dresses meaning in motifs
puts causes into little coloured boxes
likes separate mind function drawers
poets transcend everything encompass;

psychology likes track record influences
count prime movers biological influences
social pressures plus environmental factors;
now do rubik cube moves nice clean shuffles
consider how client person influences thinks
to determine think act feel response reflexes;

gain a richer deeper understanding of self
yoga gives a richer deeper understanding of self
psychology gives a richer deeper understanding of self;
so does poetry baby unlike meditation clear the brain
poetry explores thoughts feelings emotions engages brain
yoga psychology stresses body subconscious not brain;

funny these esteemed disciplines go for a no brainer
psychology claims it can help people achieve insights
breakthroughs into causes view own anger fear actions;
most people know causes wish to escape reality effects
psychology provides claims better insight into people
process introspection observation of own mental state;

the process of introspection relies on observation
many want to escape their head their anxiety fears
get out of emotion head not deeper into their head

psychology in a spiritual context may refer to what
an examination in detail explore an inner core one's soul
think think over think confrontation imposes dangers

do not worry friend client person we have drugs for that

emotion examinations trigger events we medicate that

there are other ways to interact with the mind
be a poet writer journalist write a few words
be a musician play instruments compose sing songs
be a painter paint pictures portraits landscapes;
be a potter create on a wheel with medium clay
be a dancer artistic create with motion medium body
be an athlete achieve with body coordination skills
all can provide happy mind body reward developments;
