love and be loved (read all 10 entries…)
Page 157 3 weeks ago

“Because it’s not love to be static like the desert, nor is it love to roam the world like the wind. And it’s not love to see everything from a distance, like you do. Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of The World. When I first reached through to it, I thought the Soul of the World was perfect. But later, I could see that it was like other aspects of creation, and had its own passions and wars. It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that’s where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become3 better than we are”, Page 157, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Just too many false prophets in this world.. 4 weeks ago

All these metaphysics authors coming and going, dictating Sandy’s letters, getting a feel for how this whole “spiritual workshop” system goes, all the networking, and fluffing..
I’m learning a lot slowly working for this organization.. figuring out how I want to help people reach consciousness.
I’m not really comfortable with all this ‘selling a product’, but I guess Stranger In A Strange Land said it best,
“You have to sell it to them because otherwise they won’t take it. It takes people a long time to accept a good thing for free”

Distrust, the force that cages.. 4 weeks ago

Distrust is an ugly thing that makes us withdraw from ourselves.

I was making so much progress, then fell away from it.

Recently, I’ve realized that wrong or right, my subconscious didn’t want to know, which.. is a silly reason to disconnect from intuition because.. what’s meant to be will happen regardless.

Fear cripples evolution, becomes a cage..
I need to be brave.

I think starting this journal, something real, a weight I can feel in my hands, pages of thoughts, experiences, magazine clippings, and quotes I can take with me will be something beautiful someday.
