Untwist Twisted Mind
This Systems Engineered Excursion reflects on a deep truth: When the soul turns inward—away from God and toward self—its vision becomes distorted, and both thought and action follow that distortion. What unfolds is a progressive “twisting” of perception, love, and truth itself, as the mind begins to justify what separates it from its Creator. Yet even in this state, the call to repentance remains, for the One who is Truth also desires to restore what has been disordered.
Who or what twists twisted minds?
What is the material or force that succeeds in warping and bending
That which was made to seek and know the Maker
That which was designed to conform to the power of Truth
What is the sticky substance that penetrates to the core of the soul?
Binding it to material things that rot, things that disintegrate
Not only factually in its own substance
but disintegrate the Beholder as Well
Twisted mind, twisted by material holding, binding in the bonds of desire,
Turning into twisted attachment, while duplistically betraying that bond
Enough to blatently and perpetually always want more.
Never twisted enough, continues to twist within the twists
Until the twisted twists backlash on each other into a knotted up mess.
Bent by the sight of things, warped by the lust of what looks good to it,
Though to those not twisted, not warped, to those with clear vision
And broader sight, those things are repulsive.
Twisted mind twists the soul which
Twists the heart into untwistable and unbendable stone.
Oh broken heart whose cracks and shatters are petrified
Into unbreakable heart-wrenching painfully cold stone
Never to be touched or penetrated except by the Master
The Heart Maker, who has power over the Heart Breaker.
That Heart Breaker who lures all he can
With painted masks, earthly riches and false blisses.
Sick twisted mind, so desperately stuck on yourself
Morphing all growth into contorted deformity turning inwards
Devastatingly disfigured, you look upon yourself proudly assessing 5 star beauty.
But you forget twisted mind, that you are twisted, you see only your twisted view.
Dangerously, devilishly, twisting the meaning of love
To accommodate your self love, twistingly labeling it “God’s love for you”
If you would only pry your twisted growth out of being stuck on yourself
You would see how horrifying you look to those untwisted.
It’s time to untwist your twisted mind.
Untwist from your delusional way of seeing things.
Stop twisting away from carrying your load.
Stop twisting away from discomfort & inevitable suffering.
Stop walking a twisted path to avoid sacrifice.
God commands you to untwist oh twisted mind
Praise God for the Gifts He bestows upon you to give to others.
Praise Him for the Masterful work He has entrusted to you.
Praise Him for the mission He has ordained for you to fulfill.
Praise Almighty God for the trials & tribulations in your life.
Glory & praise to Him for your failures and seeming losses.
The greatest gifts He gives are often disguised as an earthly loss.
When He takes anything away or permits loss of loved ones, it isn’t coincidence.
Oh why twisted mind can’t you untwist enough to see
That what God takes away is designed to be a priceless & eternal benefit.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Oh twisted mind, you pray for evil and think you’re holy.
You pray for anything to twist you into a position of glory,
That position reserved for the most high alone.
You make the sign of the cross as if you are giving blessing to your twistedness.
You twist what is good to look like evil when it suits your twisted story.
And you twist what is evil into good when it fits your twisted ideas.
But most assuredly you always twist whatever you do into “good.”
Oh twisted mind, do you really believe your own twisted lies?
Oh twisted mind are you too twisted to see
The twisted monster of a twisted mess you have become?
And how you have twisted innocent lives with your sickness?
That sickness of being stuck on you & stuck in your ways.
But don’t think, twisted mind, that you have won.
Those who refuse your twisted ways, stand back with jaw dropped
At the sad sight of your twisted mess.
Did you twist away your shame also, along with your brain?
Oh twisted mind of man, why do you have to twist?
You receive a blessing and twist it into a curse
By simply somehow believing that you deserved it
Or earned it, or brought it about yourself.
Twisting it into poison to feed your pride.
Stop twisting reality around your twisted ego.
Stop bending truth to soothe your twisted cravings.
Your twisted ideas of goodness are warped by self validation
Oh twisted mind of man, why do you twist reality?
Why do you twist what is really a gift, kicking and screaming, refusing it
Because it came wrapped up, not your way, not what you wanted, hidden in a trial?
All have to suffer difficulties, and you only compound the pain by trying to escape it.
Don’t you know that the test is ordained for all by God?
What was placed before you as a diamond studded stepping stone to freedom
You make into your trip and fall hazard compounding your heart of stone,
All because of your twisted mind, twisting your heart.
Oh twisted mind endlessly twisting, taking any turn
to avoid the pains of growing out of its selfish center
senselessly bending out of control, all because it wants to control
and all because it refuses the freedom offered by the One in control
that freedom that can only be found in line with His commands
yet twisted mind remains controlled and twisted by fear within
fear of the shame of twisting against it’s own twisted ways
Oh could anything be more dreadful to the twisted mind
than having to admit that it is twisted?
It would rather endure all the twisted inner torture
and belabor twisting truth into stories twisted around its twisted mind
trying to twist others minds to accept their twisted reality
oh twisted mind, you will have to answer to the Maker of your mind
the Holder of Truth and Reality. He is NOT to be twisted
NOT to be toyed with. HE IS TRUTH.
Oh Twisted mind where is your fear of the LORD GOD?
Have you Twisted so sickly and severely that you just can’t get it?
But that doesn’t mean that you won’t “get it” someday.
How could a fool twist until it’s too twisted late to untwist?
But Reality is Real. He is Real. And if you messed with that
by twisting truth to suit your sick love for self,
You messed with Him, What a twisted shame
Leaving a twisted mess that He has a place for in eternity
Nothing does not glorify Him in the End, even the twisted knee will bend
He has a special place for those who twisted against Him
Those who wrote their stories “explaining away” whatever they twistedly decided
Those lengthy twisted books trying to twist others into their own twisted mind
Those twisted words, the labor of the twisted mind
account for the life story of the twisted mind,
much worse than a signed legal document, but a story written in blood
It drips bright red with the innocent blood of the Truth Crucified
It does not need to be read… the hand that wrote it is already incriminated.
Twisted Mind, knowing deep inside it’s already twisted,
twistedly tries to soothe its twisted mindset
by measuring itself next to other twisted minds
and evaluates itself straight, as it cannot see
or simply refuses to look beyond the past horizon of its previous twists
Twisted mind who would twist anything to save face
Chooses instead the greater humiliation of the inevitable final implosion…
The day when the Truth is revealed, the Victory over the Lies.
Oh twisted mind, do you really think you can twist the Maker of your mind
Into the twistedness of your twisted mind?
And do you really think that you can keep the twisted mental mess
that you have made of your mind confined to only messing with your mind?
No, not a chance, for your mind chooses your actions
do you not see how split you already are?
Saying one thing, believing another, always doing another twisted thing.
You continually beat down and kill that great gift of your conscience
How many webs have you twisted by now twisted mind?
How much time of your life have you spent twisting into a wasted mess
you would have been better off simply wasting
How “skilled” has your backside become at spinning your twisted mess
trying to cover one twisted mess with another twisted wreck
do you not know that the One who is Truth reveals all Truth
With one thought, He commands “The Time is Now”
The Hand of God writes the Truth, and the twisted mess falls.
Twisted clinging disease of the spirit
Twisting & seeping into the soul, binding it to passing things—
Things that decay, and in their decay,
take the beholder down with them?
Oh twisted mind, bound by disordered desire,
Clings and grasps, yet is never satisfied.
It betrays even what it clutches,
Always reaching for more— never at rest, never at peace.
What is bent inward cannot see clearly and calls beauty what is gross,
Twisting from what is truly good, distorting the soul, hardening the heart
O heart grown cold, Twisted & turned in upon yourself,
Reshaping love into a mirror of your own desires,
Calling it “God’s will,” while fleeing the Cross.
But love is not self-exaltation— it is sacrifice. It is truth.
It is conformity to God, not to self.
It grasps the purifying trials in the sweet love song of life.
Why resist the path that heals you?
Why try to flee from obstacles when it only makes your suffering worse?
When challenges and personal sacrifice are often the doorway to freedom?
Though the Twister prowls, masking lies as light,
Offering fleeting twisted riches in exchange for eternal loss.
Stop. Loosen your grip on what cannot save you.
Turn, then. While there is still time, turn.
Twist away from your twistendness & look…
O twisted mind, do not despair—Even now, grace is offered.
You are not beyond the touch of the Master—
The Maker of hearts, who alone can restore what sin has wounded.
Even now, truth calls. Even now, the chains may be broken.
But you must turn. You must choose. You must untwist.
For truth cannot be bent to the will of man.
God is not mocked, nor reshaped in the image of our desires.
He is Truth itself. And before Him, all will be revealed.
Why silence the voice within you?
Why crush the conscience that calls you back?
That voice is not your enemy— it is mercy.
It is the echo of God within your soul.
For the One who judges is the same who saves—
And His mercy is greater than your twisting.
Untwist, O mind of man. Return to the One
Who formed you in Truth, and longs to restore you in Love.
Life is Peaceful when You Live in Truth.
