A Special KINd OF INNER Seeing
Taking the mental leap
- When asking a number of world-class athletes, what is more important to there success, physical or mental skills? Do you know their answer?
Now consider this simple idea:
- What makes the most significant difference between two equally talented world-class athletes? Again do you know the answer.
- Understanding why the answers to these questions are so important, begins to quite literally change your thinking towards the most important area to focus on in your game.
- Don’t waste your potential working hard on the wrong things, commit to discovering your own inner mental strength and take the leap towards the best results of your life.

I walk into the wilderness, away from the light
My world turns to darkness, as I enter the fight – Dave Marsh
An authentic investigation
Towards the end of 2016 I started writing my first book, as I absorb myself in the process I found myself understanding even more about the intricacies of what I had been researching, learning and contemplating over the last two decades. One day I just started writing poetry or more accurately stated, it started writing me.
I decided to share some of these poems because just as music is able to transcend the Intellect and connect straight to the heart, I believe poetry can open your heart and Illuminate your soul, which are important steps when entering into the primarily uncharted parts of your mind.
Power poetry for the soul

LIVE A NEW WAY
I walk into the wilderness, away from the light
My world turns to darkness, as I enter the fight
Faculties stolen, thoughts handed to me
Getting ready for battle, here comes the false me
Obsessed by desire, I must get what I want
I’ll stop at nothing, to be way out in front
Can’t tell pain from the victory, so confused is the pleasure
Handed over my life, all the time for false treasure
If the journey seems hard, I’m on the wrong trail
No need to continue, if I win still I fail
The lies and the heartache, run deep through my blood
False thoughts and false feelings, carried off like a flood
Combat riddled with sensation, again feeding the fake
Like I’m back in the garden, alone with the snake
Took a bite from the apple, now I’m lost in the trees
My own lies do they punish, again fall to my knees
Resistance disturbance, the problems nonstop
The punishing feelings, all around me on top
Aspirations and yearning, are at first my best friend
Only pain in the suffering, will be felt in the end
The pain if i hide it, will remain as my own
The king was dismantled, the knowledge unknown
To pray for awareness, to see in the dark
If I’d only stop running, I can’t miss the mark
No wisdom to find, in a world lost at best
Started out as an angel, now I’m missing my quest
The war inside bolstered, won’t prevail in the end
The voice that is talking, is no longer my friend
Like a monster swimming deep, on the great ocean floor
I remember the power, the belief and the call
The command to end punishing, unrelenting make believe
Something wants to hold on, demanding I grieve
Emotional anarchy, the restlessness grows
Semblance the long winter, the truth remains froze
The remnant of gospel, to embrace the divine
As I turned to the light, in the haze now I’m flying
As I break through the surface, the pressure was tight
My brawn it’s not needed, but a new kind of might
No one knows of the twilight, the soft glow from on high
When the light is beneath me, my horizons the sky
All this light now within me, self remembrance a glow
The hurts getting clear now, the pain free to go
What I went through was needed, a sacrifice I must pay
Finally have been woken, to live a new way
By Dave Marsh
the sword
Temptation within me, to trust what is false
Manipulation it’s ally, the creature the wolf
Ripped limb from limb, not the physical but in mind
Total miss-understanding, the voice at first kind
It snarls and it growls, so ferocious the beast
Hungry the willing, unaware I’m the feast
The tricks and deception, betrayal its supreme
Deceit and the cunning, still locked in the dream
Anxiety worry, the delusion builds stronger
The nerves and the doubt, I won’t last any longer
The whole of my life, tormented by fear
Emotions pour down, has me locked inside here
It’s working me over, unable to breathe
The feelings dishonest, just like a thief
Upside down forever, it’s turning me over
Every step that I take, looking over my shoulder
Won’t live with the turmoil, get crushed in the stampede
The cut it’s not real, the wound it can’t bleed
Time it moves quickly, when I’m under attack
My essence been stolen, the shirt from my back
Wake up, wake up, in illusion immersed
The dream it’s not real, can’t get any worse
Emotional darkness, psychological laceration
Correspondence infected, time to end conversation
Heartbeat grows faster, the pulse it explodes
The truth getting nearer, the lies they are shown
Can’t fall any further, it’s best shot my reward
The touch of the truth, cuts me free like the sword
By Dave Marsh
Let the false be in the past
Let the false be in the past
I knew that I’d come back to you, I’m glad I braved the rain
But now its time, forget the storm and let go of the pain
The rain it surely feels like me, but it was never really real
I spent my life inside the storm, now at last comes the reveal
To come out from behind the clouds, to see at last the sun
A life of darkness disappears, freedom now to run
To see so clearly that I listen to it, I thought I knew the voice
To access truer knowledge now, I finally earned a choice
When the winds gathers force, just remember myself, a look up to the sky
Take back my freedom, take back my heart, its time to say goodbye
The truth remains, I was never lost, just forgotten my orientation
Every time the train arrived in life, got off at the wrong station
A mistaken purpose of my life, what is false and what is good
My new task now to remember myself, no longer misunderstood
This true remembrance a gift from high, a blessing from divine
When the storm hits next and the rain pours down, i’ll just take it as a sign
Whether thunder or lightning or tidal waves, the storm it came for me
These storms that were against me, are now my chance to see
So the next time, in the eye of the storm, no need to be brave
There’s nothing set against me, the truth is there to save
A chance to taste the pour of spirit, the evidence I was blind
Incredible persistence of the truth, so much peace to find
A chance proclaimed to find true love, a type of reincarnation
And if i work to know myself, so comes illumination
I’m ready to see the whole of it, its appearance no surprise
The angelic wisdom, as the truth gets clearer, the dawning of new eyes
So all at once the past undone, the suffering ends at last
My time best spent remembering truth, let the false be in the past
By Dave Marsh
Take back my life
verse 1
Seems who I am, a familiar cry
Revenge and judgment, it fails to see
All of the harm, it does to me
verse 2
It’ll damage anyone, it has no soul
Thoughts emotions, feelings too
All set against me, I never knew
verse 3
Sets out to punish, to block the seeing
Its pain on me, the kiss of death
Leaves you and I without our breath
verse 4
A wild animal, a killer shark
Will stop at nothing, to get its way
It hurts it steals, has lots to say
verse 5
It’s always suggesting, I take the fall
I listen I act, starting to see
The massive harm, its done to me
verse 6
So now I know, I ask I yelp
The truth divine, I need some help
This thing that has taken, over my life
To pray for freedom, to drop the strife
verse 7
It’s getting evident now, bring on the seeing
I no longer have to live, under this false self
I feel the light, an eternal wealth
verse 8
My own true soul, I had forgot
Take back my life, the time is here
Finally the false, can disappear
by Dave Marsh
The truth returns at last
I walk in to the jungle of my mind, thoughts not on my side
The familiar pattern, as I step on to the ride
Convincing me to listen, I’ve done that all my life
We both know the outcome, the endless pain and strife
I didn’t always know the way, but my heart lead me to search
Then one day something fresh arrived, a new way to see the earth
At first I didn’t understand its plan, but I stayed on this new course
After days and nights of prayers, I felt at last the verse
There is a price to pay for truth, a special kind of cost
So I’ll just say this to you, I know right now you’re lost
You might be able to fake it good, but you and I know the deal
So don’t be afraid of what you’ll see, the times arrived for real
So take the step, remember this, just let go of the past
Because when you work to know yourself, the truth returns at last
By Dave Marsh
see the light
see the light
From misty eyes, comes the reveal
Was asleep and lost in a shadow fight
Wake up, wake up and see the light
Enticing and creeping, it’s taken over
Thrust down on me, my powerless soldier
Instructions come, to use the fist
Release is possible, must not resist
Identification, consumes us all
To give up that life, not eternal fall
It took me over, doesn’t matter how
It’s not for me, I see that now
I don’t need power, I just need light
I don’t need fighting, I just need sight
I don’t need voices, I just need proof
I don’t need you, I just need truth
By Dave Marsh
THIS IS DIVINE
It stirs and haunts me, just like a dream
The negativity strengthens, the desire to scream
If I do that, it’ll have its way
So I’ll stay quiet, nothing to say
It can’t stand silence, it hates the peace
My life is mine, won’t sign the lease
No more payments, not to it
I’ve seen the price, it’s time to quit
Engulfed submerged, under it’s alluring spell
My life on earth, can feel like hell
It’s why there’s conflict, miss-trust and war
Always pushing me, to settle a score
It thrives on blindness, won’t let me see
The non-stop harm, to you and me
Physical strength, is useless here
Cause if I fight, I’ll disappear
With useless fighting, doomed to its trap
To remain in darkness, a perpetual nap
As you walk in sleep, the false it grows
The pain inside, that no one knows
An elaborate hoax, a hidden key
But as you work, you will break free
The price to pay, to give it up
To ask for help, an empty cup
Belief means nothing, this is divine
Give up the false, give back not mine
The light is coming, your time is now
As you stand before it, no need to bow
Instead you turn to face the beast
You’ve been consumed, you were the feast
Go in to it, as it’s done to you
Explore and study, you will break through
The false the fear, clenched by its grip
Man overboard, jump from the ship
With one right action, step to the light
End it’s persuasion, learn not to fight
Its scales and levels, above the line
Its truth, It’s love, this is divine
