Poetry is a good way to bypass the head.  The trick is not to think, rather just let it speak to your being without judgment. Try it:

 

Now is the time to know
That all that you do is sacred.
Now, why not consider
A lasting truce with yourself and God?

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you can finally live
with veracity
And love.

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.
That this is the time
For you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is Sacred

***

I have learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much
Of Itself with me
That I can no longer
Call myself

A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even pure Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

~ Hafez
