I have always tried to avoid being labeled, but lately I have tried to find meaning in who I am, what I am, my place in this world. Seeking the one thing I have skirted my entire life. Am I a messenger? An enlightened? An intellect? A crazy? All of these sharing characteristics of my true self, but always falling short. Why do I need one word to define who I am? I am focusing on the wrong thing, looking in the wrong direction for something that ultimately does not matter. I love unconditionally, I care for all people, I forgive no matter the wrong, I try to be open and learn all that I can. These are the things that I do and share with others. Words have always let me down when defining my emotions and feelings about myself and experiences to others. Even now, they fail me. Instead I should focus on what I need to do to, how to accomplish these things: Always moving forward, always learning from my mistakes, always improving, always asking questions. This is the cycle I must repeat to achieve my goal to uncover the most fundamental meaning of Self.

Everything except that last one.

Shit, I'm all of them! If I am not, most everyone else is and what are the odds of that?

T_B keep your head up and you'll be all good. I think, honestly, everyone askes these questions of themselves at some point in life. Some figure it out and some never do. With all that I am, I hope you are the former and not the later. *hugs

Wounded so deeply, for an instant, my vision was askew. I lost sight of what I am, who is guiding me and the person firmly standing next to my thoughts and decisions, and my sole existence of finding my purpose.

You commented that you were afraid anything you brought to light on a soul would deem you the antichrist. A comment I took literal at first, frightened and desperate to find a meaning. Hopeless at first... Sometimes it takes an explosion to clear everything away to been seen for what it really is.

You ARE an antichrist, but not in the way you anticipate or seemingly hope to be. You are a false prophet, spreading your misinformation around, your deenlightned knowledge of the afterlife, and behind your back people laugh and scoff at the rediculousness of it all. You are firmly set in your lies and will do anything to vindicate them; i see right through you, your facade now gone. All that is left is an emotionally crippled little boy, too afraid to think outside of what is comfortable.

So, yes... believe in your disbelief, your anti-truth... but you are no more harmless to me or anyone else on this earth than the words that came from your mouth. All lies, grudges, slicing people down for your own amusement and benefit, the true definition of an antichrist. You will go on, living your life, and towards the end, feel a sense of what you could have known, a maggot gnawing in the back of your brain... that parasite, that voice is ignorance.

And I will be there when your life passes from this one to the next, and your fate is to be decided, and I promise you, for all of your negativites you have spread, I swear it on my existance, the next will not be as pleasurable.... but you will never know why. And we will continue to meet again and again... digging yourself futher away from the truth and light each time until you have buried yourself so deep in mouthed defecation and lies, living is completely insufferable, while I recognize your reexistance and move on further down my path to complete enlightenment...

The Inbetween

My world is not this. Beneath the loud clanking and roar of the mechanical life of deadlines, bills, conformity... there lies a silence. Beyond the low hum of life, lies my world. Shutting my eyes, I descend, eliminating myself from all things unimportant to me. No time, no talking allowed; misty and surreal, I arrive soundlessly at the gate of our private dimension. I crack the door, walking through, returning the one of two keys to my pocket, the other belonging to my love. I breathe in, clearing my lungs and my mind, continuing through my dark forest. With each step forward, the clarity in my mind sharpens to the point of splitting atoms, and the warmth in my chest burns painfully, knowing I will soon see him. I feel tugging on my soul in his direction through these black trees and the blue hue cast by the unseen sky, reflecting in my dark eyes. The foggy floor scatters as I proceed to our sanctuary, my skin flushing, lips parting with excitement and anticipation. I move to the final veil separating us, reaching out my hand to part the curtain, seeing his shape behind this final obstruction... abruptly awakening to the loudness of people arguing, crying babies, the rumble of traffic. Tricked again... Sitting on the curb of a busy street, I smile, laugh even... One day, I will meet you.

Growing Back

A growing child’s most favorite word is “why?’ They question everything, wondering how everything is, why it is, and what purpose it fulfills. They gaze upon the world with unfiltered newness, untainted by life, but openly aware of their surroundings, always inquiring, until they are chastised for being a nuisance. They have the capability of creating world from nothing, fully utilizing their brains to perceive things that are not there but are very real to them. Adults call this imagination. Children love unconditionally, fully trusting everyone until a seed of doubt is implanted in their brain that people they are unacquainted with are deemed strangers or bad; the destruction of innocence.
As we grow older, it seems we lose the capability to need to ask why, and the haze of life fogs our brain with responsibility, pain, and boundaries. But why is this? Why do we lose this fundamental gift to look around the world and query things? We fall into a pattern of repetition, not because we have forgotten, but because it feels safe, it’s what is expected of us. From the first time we are introduced into society, preschool or kindergarten, we are expected to fall in line, do as we are told, not to talk back. We believe out parent’s beliefs; life progressing and the cycle of conformity and non-thought progresses.
The childlike actions (questioning, thinking and visualizing, love) are stripped from us, but need to replace the apathy, traditionalism, and the forgotten gift of asking why. These sacred, latent abilities are not forgotten or unlearned. Seemingly, people fall into this routine and are comfortable with the monotony of everyday life, but what would happen if you did indeed start asking why? In regards to everything, why? Why do I have to feel this way? Why is this expected of me? Why can’t I feel the way I feel? Why am I expected to believe this? Questioning opens so many doors that lay hidden, waiting for you, wanting you to pass through and see new potentials, or questioning will reaffirm your own truths, making them right, the correct answer undoubtedly.
Empathy is one of the most beautiful and useful human emotions; I often wonder what it is like not to feel, but it is beyond me, not in my nature. When someone comes to me in times of distress, how could I not care to listen and attempt to aid somehow? Even if listening is only for them to vent, not seeking guidance, I am there to purely show them love in the hope that they will know love and realize they are fully capable of loving themselves and gifting it to others as well. I hope, in turn, they use that love and compassion that I have shown them to trump whatever problem they are dealing with. There is nothing but greatness that stems from the expression of the many faces of love; such an easy idea to practice, but ultimately, it is up to myself and other to implement it. We all get caught up in our own problems and may miss a cry for help; if we just stop and listen, care, love, help; the impact would be exponentially phenomenal.

Wheel of Fortune

The most important lesson that explains the horrors and misery of the world is that you can get off the wheel at any point and declare the trip is over. The trouble starts when, out of fear of growth and change... fear of death and abandonment of the stasis we have become content with... we become people that try to stop the wheel by stopping everyone else. The only religion consistent with the entire wheel and acceptance of change is a personal and private one. The only government consistent with the full understanding of justice in this system is self-government. Whoever tries to tell you how to think is acting out of fear... and will soon resort to fear as a weapon if you fail to accept their persuasion. Nobody who understands the whole wheel will do that, because they understand and recognize the self-christ in everyone. The self-programming, adaptive, continuously surprising, continuously rising up power that is the undeniable goodness of light. Loving oneself and finding the simplicity in the path of doing so, to be right with one's own thoughts, what we always knew and to still not feel alienated for the desire to know more and feel more; being more... which is associated with so much misunderstanding in this world.
To accept change and thus make the change we wish to see instead of constantly hoping it would be different... what more is necessary?

Fear is a natural human emotion, one I have had to push through many times. I've considered what it would be like to stop the wheel, keep things as they are but life cannot go on that way. I could never allow myself to be so selfish, so instead I try to make the ride a little easier for everyone through comfort and compassion. By improving myself and learning as much as I can about this life and thereafter, I can steer this wheel in the direction I want to go, I know I need to go, instead of letting fear take the wheel. I accept myself for my human characteristics and flaws (like fearing the unknown) but more importantly, I embrace who I am, who I was meant to be, and who I will become, all in my control.

I lose myself just to find myself again and see if that's who I really set out to be, or just something I convinced myself of... like this whole system I had devised of following a path with no map, but also with no fear. I have proven myself many times... though I do not expect you to simply take my word for it, I would rather show you as I let go of that fear that blinds me from seeing what I need, and fall deeply in love with you. We can show eachother all the way the things we missed. When you put it all together, it creates something more than the unified whole and it only leaves me to wonder, and know, what any of this life has been worth... in just a moment of knowing you.

I still have a lot to learn, I hope to never be finished. I hope to always be surprised by something I thought I knew so well, but more importantly I never want to think I have nothing left to live for, nothing left to discover. I have never been let down before by the idea that everything I want is within my grasp.. only I have to decide how long I need to take to decide to do what I know I must to take what I know I deserve.
