Yes, but only to an adventurous soul. Earthlife is not for the fainthearted lol.

When I think of my death, I see myself surrounded by friends and family that I love, while I reminisce (with a smile on my face) about the full life that I have lived.

If the soul can commit to coming into this journey and truly experiencing all the different spectrums (the highs and lows) of earthlife in their incarnation, in order to evolve. Then yes I will recommend it.

In addition:

If I am directly involved in grooming the soul, then without a doubt, yes. I look out for certain qualities and values in a life partner (future father of my children) because I want to be directly involved in making the change that I want to see in the world.

DeepSight:


Beautiful words.
Would you recommend the ride at all though?

Pain will come and go, some will stay
Joy will come and go, some will stay
People will come and go, some will stay.
Only the lessons you learn stay with you forever

Open your mind to everything: new, old, strange, extraordinary, foreign, familiar
But seek order, as you swim through the chaos.

See yourself in everyone you meet,
Yet remember
Every soul's journey is different.

Do not conform.
Think your own thoughts
Don't be afraid to sail uncharted waters.

Recognize that heaven and hell are within you, Guard your heart and actions accordingly.

Protect the purity of your soul,
Do not let this world and its illusions corrupt you

Most of all,
Never stop evolving.

You are evading the truth. To even establish a relationship with a Nigerian girl is trouble and a lot of guys are tired of trying. The time used to call and ingratiate oneself to a woman is better spent doing other productive things. When the money comes, you pick anygirl you want and marry. And I support sleeping with prostitutes, it saves one a whole lot of stress.

I don't care about sanctimonious religious sermons.

Well I'm sorry you feel that way, I thought I was being helpful. I guess you'd rather spend your hard earned money on fish-brained girls "when the money comes", rather than learn how to find a real woman that would stand by you with or without it. Feel free to marry a woman that is there for your money, just remember that she'd be gone when the money goes or when she meets someone richer.

Then again, for you to fall back on prostitutes rather than try to build a relationship means that all you were actually after anyway was sex. So I guess you're attracting your kind.

Good luck!

Seeing as I have been with men that have money and those that don't, and yet never collected a dime from either of them, I guess that makes me an abnormal Nigerian girl.

Anyone with sound reasoning knows that money is a fleeting thing, and would not build a foundation on it.

Reread my previous post and try to learn from it.
Change your mindset and circle of friends/influence and watch your life change.

resurgent4oodua:


What quality are you talking about? Is it by speaking English or having unrealistic dreams in a failed state like Nigeria?

Which normal Nigerian girl do you deal with without money? I am surprised at your comment! Can you date or marry a Nigerian guy without money?

The fact is that women the world over do not really like men naturally! Women are only interested in success and money. That's how they are wired!!!

You are my hero!

If you have what it takes to get into Shell, you will get into shell. If you are qualified to attract a woman of substance, you will attract a woman of substance.


The truth is the average Nigerian man cannot attract a woman of substance because all he is capable of/and concerned with bringing to the table is money. All they know is how to drink, waste money, hustle for more money and chase women. Naturally, like attracts like.

I like to think the reason I (and my female and male friends) don't have these "fish brained" relationship issues is simply because we attract our kind - people with substance and character. I specifically avoid men that chase money like their life depends on it, simply because it becomes glaringly obvious that they have nothing else to offer but that.

All the rants on this thread simply come from people not knowing what they want from a partner, and not knowing what it looks like when they see it. I'm sure in their quest to snag the woman with the biggest female parts, lightest skin, longest hair, tastiest meals, they have missed out on regular women of substance.

If you ask yourself the right questions before starting a relationship and do a proper evaluation of your would-be partner, by simple elimination you will be able to separate wheat from chaff.

Later you'll see them running their mouths about wanting to build an empire. If you are incapable of Recruiting a partner for your life, how can you create, establish, operate and maintain a small business yet alone a multinational enterprise.

Grown men chasing small minded girls, and making noise all over the place. Damn shame

safarigirl:
women are emotionally and mentally stronger than men. YES! Just because you bring a few coins out does not give you mental and emotional strength. Who is the lots that don't want to work for their money? Most homes in Nigeria today are surviving because of the woman

Millions of Nigerian women are working hard everyday, putting food on the table and providing for their children while covering their husbands' shame by lying to everyone that he is the one paying. Nigerian women are resilient, they are surviving. Most of them work multiple jobs, they not only work in civil service, they are also business women. Hardly will you find a married woman in Nigeria who isn't working two jobs and trying to make ends meet


I don't know where you people are meeting these leeches you surround yourself with, but most of the women I know are hardworking women who provide for their families without making noise. I know women who pay their kids fees. When my mother was alive she was paying I and my sister's school fees, she doled out 500k per year for our school fees, and let me not even count the clothes she always bought and the snacks she got from work everyday. My father only had to pay my little brother's fees. They both paid house rent with combined salaries, same with food.


Stop judging millions of women based on the ten or so you know. Are your sisters also leeches? Are you judging women based on stories on social media? The woman in Niger state that is entering a farm to break firewood, harvest cassava and cook, is she on social media? You think I am talking about the small girls you men enjoy courting? People that can barely stand on their own, are those ones women?


Nigerian women are strong and resilient. Women will always be emotionally stronger than men. Millions of women are living without husbands, many of them widows, they are making it work, they are surviving. The minute a man's wife dies, he is already hunting for another woman. Men only have brute force, they do not know what mental and emotional strength is. They will never understand it

What are your thoughts on prophetic dreams, in terms of shifting consciousness within or outside our space-time?

I ask this because I typically have prophetic dreams and I've always assumed I'm seeing into the future. However, lately on closer inspection I've noticed that there are minor differences between the dream and when it eventually occurs (such as in the dream one wearing a blue shirt and receiving news in a room, but in actuality the person wearing white and receiving the news on the street).

If we look at it from a quantum mechanics (many worlds interpretation) point of view, is this consciousness perceiving (or visiting) other parallel world while the body is asleep?

Or do the differences in the real life occurrence vs dream occur as a result of precognition of it happening?

I have pondered on this for quite some time now and I'm yet to understand it.

TimeMachine:


During sleep, consciousness of the system is shifted to an alternate vehicle in a different dimension. That which we call dream has different categories. Consciousness can travel through the processed or unprocessed memory, being the past archives of dataset. Consciousness can be shifted to dimensions within our local space-time or Consciousness can be shifted to dimensions outside of our space-time.

One must thoroughly learn to understand where each dream is played out, whether it is Time based (Past (memory), Present or Future (Prophesy)) or Space based which could be movement outside of our local dimension of Space-time to a different realm.

Unfortunately, no one has time to study these stuff and understand how the Human System works.

But Consciousness is not generated in the body but modulated by it.

Thugaa:
i am considering consciousness as a process begotten from the workings of trillions memories in the memory locations in our physical body. Have you considered it this way? I have the conviction i am right. Not saying you are wrong tho, obviously with more knowlegde i ll know better.

This is how I see it.

If you have ever commanded your emotions or mind to "feel" a different way or "think" a different thought, then you realize that you are not your mind and you are not your emotions. The brain, neurons and memory locations allow the body to function as a machine, but a different force controls/commands the machine.

In simple terms, If you're running and you want to stop, you -the force commanding the body, instruct your brain which then sends the right signals to the parts of the body that control movement.

This is my understanding of consciousness, and how it is separate from the processes in the body.

Hello TimeMachine

I was drawn again to this post you left for me, and I have a few questions if you would indulge me.

@the bolded. How could you tell (by just reading my post) that I'm a starseed? And that we are from the same star system?
I once had a friend tell me I'm a starseed too, as she believes she is one too.

You also left this comment below on another post. And I'm wondering, how do I know another starseed when I meet one?

Loneliness is a norm for Starseeds like you until you find a fellow starseed. No one will ever understand you truly, except your kind.

TimeMachine:


Listen girlfriend, you must put your finances in order. I can tell you this authoritatively. Do not ever believe materialism is not good, it is wonderful, and I will not make light your efforts by suggesting that you balance your material and spiritual quest, cos I know your pace at spiritual quest is higher than material quest.

I want you to put much efforts in getting your material quest in order. You need Money for the next phase. Always note that your Higher Self knows that you must survive on this plane comfortably. Even as higher self is receiving thumps up for your advancement.

We must balance both aspects of Life, cos you are a Starseed, and Starseed cant be seen as broke or poor. We came here for a reason, and we must enjoy this game while we hold the pillar of light for completion of the transition of the planet.

I was vegan too, cos I needed to clean myself up and get direct connection to Divine Spirit, but now I eat everything because my body handles every garbage and purges out what ever is not needed and shapes itself. So, if you feel like eating meat, make sure it is blessed and do not eat much of it as the emotion of the animals affects your frequency of vibration, you need the strength to keep, if not your physical strength, but libido...lol. We must have fun while at it.

You alone will know your Soul Mission and Life Purpose. Your finances should come from resources that are available in nature or a service that can not be depleted. It could be talents, but we know enough to drink from the wells of nature.

Do not consider the daily hurstle distracting, consider it as what you need to enjoy the ride and try as much as possible to tune out of spirituality once in a while and focus on materialism.

Stay tough and do not allow anyone to put you down for any reason, you have already escaped the return of Soul to matrix after reincarnation.

In the near future, your Higher Self will merge with your physical self, you will know it when it happens, and it will not be mistaken. You have not experienced anything like it before, but will only happen after you getting information on meaning of RED and BLUE and how it is resolved to GREEN.

After which you will get physical real life sync with Mary, Joy and the next phase will be Christ (Jesus if you were formally a Christian). I am giving hints here, you wont understand much now but as you progress, you will remember. When the time comes to choose, embrace all. Do not be biased with the Red, which represents the Reptilians and Blue will be connection with Blue Avians. But we are on Earth Green, I had to analyze the meanings of the colours when you go through it as a guide to you. Cos I know we came from the same star system.

After that stage, you might have a Walk-In, if you can not handle the entire shift, which means your Higher Self will merge with your physical body and you will be a walking, talking complete activated Human. You are already online, that is why you are getting the messages, but the upgrade of your Soul Consciousness will happen before the Walk-In.

Again do not attempt to activate your energy centers by yourself, but keep studying everything as the inspiration comes, it will activate all the anti-virus and re-write the programs of the Sub-Conscious mind.

When it happens you will know. When you cross that stage, I will give you clue to the next phase. If you keep going and have successfully decoded the Matrix, you will merit the experience of what it is to be God. You will 'realize' that WE ARE ONE BEING sparked into fractiles to experience all ourselves. You will know that you are me, you are your friends, you are your enemies, you are the tree, you are the animals, and that happens when I knew the real shape of the Solar System and how this Plane really is.

I want to stop here now, and I am happy to share the above even though I had no one to guide me on what I might see next, but I am still on the journey.

I had to type this much to show you that you are not alone, but when the time comes, you will understand why you might face financial issues now, it is for a reason, you need to know your Life Mission first, after that, the floodgate of funds will open up and you will be so excited as you will know how best to handle the wealth that comes from Divinity. Do not give up, it is tough for Starseeds here, cos all Entities locate your aura now as it shines, so they can even deceive you, so be very careful.

And I mean be careful, cos they see you and know what you are. And they also know that you have not yet realized what you are, and might wanna fool with you. When you finally realize what you are, you will be untouchable, not by even Lucifer. You are Special.

Freh:


I couldn't even start an explanation and land at a point without forget why I started the conversation in the first place. But now that time seems like a dream I woke up from.

This!!! This was me last year. I've slowly come out of it. It's eerily similar, all you've described.

I'll definitely look into your suggestions

Freh:
I have been hearing high pitched tones on my right ear. I've read online about the different possibilities from tinnitus to the ascension sound current.
It was also said that the frequencies of the left were bad.
Is this the sound current you spoke about as a sign of downloading new info from the overself?

I'm experiencing the same thing. Once in a while I'll have sharp pain in the left side of my head. I'm having vivid dreams that come true weeks later, and a terrible case of not remembering things. Coupled with the number 23 following me everywhere. As of this time last year, I had read widely - studying sciences, theories of consciousness, philosophy etc and I can barely remember them now. Even things I heard minutes ago I can't trust myself to remember it as it was said. I'm only 28 and this memory loss is especially unnerving.

Taking notes...

Thank you, I needed to hear this.

No, I do not worship. I walked away from religion over 4 years ago and I've been vegan for 2 years. Ive been on that journey, on that search, but I find it difficult to stay consistent especially with daily hustle of this world which is very distracting . I remember you said somewhere that one cannot be poor on this journey lol

TimeMachine:


Congratulations.

All your hardwork in honesty, trust, love and cleanliness of physical vessel has paid off. You are now connected to the Universal Timelines.

The Time Mirrors and Number Sequences are a constant reminder that you are not alone, your Higher Self, Universe, God, Angel, Demon etc as you may choose to call it now for your own comfortable level of Truth is connecting to you and reminding you that IT IS TIME to begin the Mission, for which you came to this Physical Plane to Execute.

It is for your Soul Purpose, that you pay attention to your thoughts at the moment you see the numbers and KNOW that your Higher-Self and your other assistants are by your side.

Once again, congratulations and begin your Life Mission, what ever that call might be.

I believe by now you know that your Religions on Earth can not explain those occurrences but I do. It is to show you that I am doing my job. Are you doing yours ? Or Are you just following the broadways of religions ? Remember that Iesus, Jesus, Yahushua Ha Masiach, what ever name you choose to call him, said the Narrow Way, is the Truth and Religions are too broad to be narrow. How do I know this ? Because once again, Jesus was not a Christian, neither was he a Muslim. But Christians have used his words as a marketing tools to generate coins. That is not bad, cos Man must chop.

But in all honestly, Know ThySelf and Begin your Journey by searching for Divine Creator, your own way. IT is within, it wakes you up daily.

I've been seeing 23 daily for the last 3-4 months,
either accompanied by a 7 or a number that adds up to 7 or any other number. I was born on 23/7. I see the number 23 everywhere, hear it in movies when I change the channel, on the first page of a book I decided to glace through, on random posts I click on Quora... etc

Sorry, but it is quite tough sharing, you need a man who is on the journey, that is what is meant by twin flame. You can not be happy fully with a man, who is not on the journey. It is a tough call, I have been there.

My thoughts exactly. I was lead to your posts yesterday, it is good to see you back under a different name, that is if my instincts serve me correctly

Hi kikid, did you eventually find this? I need this too

superhumanist:



[b]There is nothing logical about your discussions [/b]that are laced with sophistry and emotional blackmail.

Simply put, atheists and other unbelievers are discriminated against in Nigeria. We are a tiny minority and it can be lonely at times. A simple fact that cannot get through your thick skull

Hi superhumanist. It'll help if you read the first two pages of butterflylion's thread below. You'd understand the mind you're conversing with and probably just ignore him going forward.

https://www.nairaland.com/4039408/thread-intelligent-lets-put-critical

butterflylion:


How you arrived at this is beyond me and I find it shockingly funny.

I do not think you know what subliminal messages are. Jesus practiced this a lot obviously from the many parables he told, this is obvious and I have been doing same.

If you read what I write here literally you will get it twisted and it's obvious you applied no thought regarding:

1. The foundation of the person typing this

2. His foundation for interaction

3. His motive

4. The subtle words deliberately included in his sentences.

If you did then you would not have said the above. But you obviously did not think AT ALL.

I am still laughing at your words in bold though. It makes for good comic relief

Subliminal messages! You would do/say anything to protect yourself. You must be quite an interesting fellow offline.

It seems you are well on your way to mastering the art of running around in circles.

TheLastDon1:


I agree whole heartedly with your comment. I would like to point out that this situation is similar to the 12 blind men who had to describe an elephant from touch.As you already know, each was right and all where wrong because they described just a single facet of a big picture. See the big picture and all arguments disappear. All these moral schemes were made for man, and should be judged on the basis of their utility to the individual and humanity. [/b]Beliefs are as diverse as people and no size fits all. The responsibility to find what fits, lies with the individual. The belief that the individual has no choice is the biggest evil. There is a choice. Not making one is also a choice.Sticking to parental teachings is a choice.Sticking to what gives power is a choice.Sticking to what gives life meaning is a choice.Sticking to what gives respect in society is a choice.We need to accept that a choice was made.

Making an argument for things that was created by geniuses years ago is futile, we can only guess at their wisdom. [b]It is far more useful to give testimonies of the peace and fulfilment your choice has brought.

I chose freethinking, it has brought me clarity and ridded me of guilt. It has not taught me compassion or kindness or love or forgiveness.It gave me understanding but not emotional satisfaction. I am still searching in church, mosque music for the completeness I know is out there.

I see no point in comparing apples to oranges!!!!
If we accept this point we can move to more productive conversations like
1)what are the pitfalls of free thinking and how can it be remedied.
2)what is the best way to raise children?

Very well said.

butterflylion:


What I am saying is that EVERYONE is restricted INCLUDING the so called freethinker.

Trying to shift this to religion and tradition isn't what your OP is about is it?

Oh. I didn't realize you meant EVERYONE since you quoted John 8:31-31 which implies otherwise.

butterflylion:


I did not define freethinking. My comment was not as a definition but a focus on man and how we walk around in a mental cage while assuming we are free.

A cage is something that confines (keeps or restricts someone or something within certain limits). In this case you said mental cage, doesn't religion/tradition etc restrict your thinking within certain limits? Or is it freethinking that does this?

butterflylion:


Wrong. Your post has nothing to do with what I said and nobody is claiming superiority over anyone. In the case of Christianity the message is L-O-V-E as recorded in John 3:16.

Saying anyone is being "subdued" is just silly. Subdued with what? Ropes? Chains?

The ones who embrace Christianity ALSO did their own thinking and arrived at their own decision AFTER they received the message. Nobody forced them into anything.

EVERYONE asks questions and EVERYONE thinks. Christianity does not oppose questioning or thinking. In fact 1st Peter 3:15 declares



Regarding your talks about a freethinker not seeing himself or herself as superior is an error of humongous proportions. Pride is prevalent in every human and freethinkers are chief. They assume that they "think logically" more than anyone so stand aloof of everyone else. Nobody can see things from multiple angles and be right about any angle which to you is seen as UNRIVALLED INSIGHT. Even your choice of words here such as the word UNRIVALED stinks of arrogance and pride.

Who says you are unrivalled? Who measured it for you?

Who says what you claim you know is even anything worthy of mention and that others do not know much more than you do? Who says you are right? YOU?

Just like 2nd Timothy 3:7 said




How do you know that the truth you arrive at is actually the right truth? Simply because you said so to yourself? Life is governed by selfish intents and often times people would lean towards what they favour even if it means HATING others for it.

Your so called freethinking isn't free. In itself it is caged by the human mind and its many manipulations and selfishness and can NEVER be free UNLESS MADE FREE.

John 8:31-31




The greed,selfishness, hatred, anger, spite, and other vices in man cannot enable us to set ourselves free through freethought. This is a huge farce.

Ok

butterflylion:


Already being done. Or you think there are no Christians in China or Saudi Arabia?

We are not like atheists who hide behind online forums to make noise. We back our talk up with action.

Freethinking is not a cult or religion that you convert to. Your "already being done" scheme is to subdue people into adopting your self and clan determined "superior" religion.

A freethinker does not think he/she superior, but capable of seeing things from multiple vantage points and thereby gaining unrivaled insight into a matter. The more you seek (multi and not unidirectional), the more you shall find.

I agree some atheists and freethinkers make noise here just as much as the religionists. However, what I have been able to observe in my many years of being on this platform is that the silent ones, the ones that force you to think, without prejudice or an underlying motive to convert you, usually are the most enlightened on the matter. And would rather have you reason your way into belief or unbelief as the case may be, by asking questions and dropping hints. This way you find your own way to enlightenment, as opposed to being told what to do and what to think.

So as for shouting at the rooftops, let's evolve past worshipping the loudest vessel. We know how the saying goes

butterflylion:


Means you were being deceptive all along

You are obviously not of the light and no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. Nothing new here.

Those who have the truth and the light of the truth are never afraid to declare it anywhere but you could not declare it because you would be exposed but you never knew that you still exposed yourself by deliberately dodging it.



That scripture says you do not practice truth.

*sigh!

Although we share fundamentally different views, I enjoyed reading your posts when you first came on this thread. I liked the way your mind broke things down and intertwined them. I was impressed.

However you had to degenerate this into calling names and throwing "Satan " and "devil " around.
This further buttresses my initial post. This is why people stay mute with their divergent opinions. Your emotional attachment to your beliefs is all too evident.

Frankly from looking at the way your mind works, I truly think you will learn much more about "God" if you let yourself. I have been emotionally attached to my beliefs in the past. I have been an arrogant Christian and an even bigger arrogant Atheist. When I stopped being arrogant, the universe opened to me and lessons poured in.

Well we are each on our own journeys, to arrive is to be dead to knowledge in an ever changing and ever discovering world.

@MizMyColi I wish there was a fist bump emoji on here

TheLastDon1:

You are not alone dear..I have also contemplated the meaning of existence and the place of God in the life of man. I have come to believe that nobody has the right answer to this question.

Greater men before us have contemplated these questions without any conclusive result.

I have felt the loneliness you speak of. The Isolation can be crippling.

Nigeria is a very religious country.But Religion practised by most of us is a substitute for culture.
I have grown in my understanding of our human condition. Not everybody is a thinker, just like not everybody has musical talent or a lawyers acumen or a great painter's eye.
Life is extremely complicated and the burden of knowledge makes life weary.
The concept of God is a useful and approximate way to live a life beneficial to oneself and neighbours without the burden of Understanding.
Life need not be understood to be lived and enjoyed fully.
This scheme of things is an inheritance from our wise ancestors.
If you are blessed with the gift of logical thought, think away, but do not be condescending to those who you perceive as ignorant of the truth.They might just have it better than you. They might be engrossed in enjoying the music of life without understanding it.

It is not those who understand a thing creatively that attain maximum utility from it , but they who use it as it is.


Incessant logical thought is a burden and not everybody is cursed with it.

This is my current perspective on religion, it might change with maturity and understanding.

I like the way you think, and how you are able to see things from different vantage points. Far from being condescending though, because I've come to see that wisdom sometimes lies in what at first glance we'd think is the smallest of minds or irrational thought/belief.

budaatum:

I would have said don't yoke unequally, but people are far more intelligent and one would see even Muslim/Christians relationships these days.

You should not be content with being accepted! You should be understood too, then loved. It does mean more than mere 'acceptance'! If he does not understand you, perhaps its because you have not explained yourself, and[b], I am of the impression that you hide who you really are from him. [/b]I wouldn't call that a good foundation for cohabitation.

The foundation of a good relationship is communication. Express yourself as you have done here. (Did you notice some want to be like you?) You will be very lonely if you go ahead without it! So, communicate.

In all honesty, there is some truth to the emboldened. And communication, though difficult given the subject, I know is very important. Sometimes we create out own demons with our minds.

Thank you for this

superhumanist:



Read books? Online groups?

That will only make one even lonelier.

That's like comparing masturbation to real sex.



There is nothing like connecting with real people who share the same beliefs.

YES!

@ johnydon22

That was one helluva rant. But totally relatable, every single word!

I think we all go through this stage at some point.

lovicks:
It seems I'm living a double life, out there I act and talk like one of the adherents of one of the popular beliefs out there even when I believe none of it.
Once, I tried to open up subtely to a friend(though older than I am) about my perception on God and religion, his reaction was funny cos, he just couldn't understand why someone will doubt the existence of a God, ever since I've learnt to be careful and play along, but then, I keep asking myself for how long.
Itz quite frustrating to preach about what you don't believe in, like one is a hypocrite.

Hi Lovicks

It's a terrible thing that you're doing to your soul. You're better off keeping your views to yourself and training your mind to learn more, than to pretend.

Although I don't know the dynamics of your community/living conditions but I don't think there's need to pretend. You can be silent about your views, but still not act or talk like society wants you to. Don't live a double life, live a life that you think is true and keep it private until you're ready to handle publicly living your truth.

I know the few occasions that I'd had to pretend out of respect for my grandparents and I remember how I just did not feel good about myself after. Can't imagine living that way every single day

Ranchhoddas:
For me the internet has to suffice for now.
I currently don't know one person on this planet that is able to look at things from my angle.
When I attempt to test the waters by dropping hints the kinds of reactions I get-- fear, revulsion, anger, irritation etc tell me to respect myself and stay on my lane.
No need getting into trouble with people over things like that.

A significant upgrade in my affairs is imminent and I expect the people I meet and interact with to also reflect this upgrade.
Till then, the internet and books will have to be my companions on this journey.

Story of my life. You missed out "complete and total lack of understanding ". And I think this reaction is what I don't want to deal with in a life partner. I don't want someone that pities my soul or feels their intelligence is threatened by my views and opinions, which are sometimes guided by plain logic and have an air of superiority to them.

I'm glad you have an impending "upgrade", and I hope it brings with it the connections you seek

MizMyColi:


Hi rinrin24,

Morning

It is good that you found something up there helpful.

I can relate with the bit about not wanting to hurt others' feelings when you begin to express your truth.
What I tell myself is that everyone must not know who I am. I am free to share aspects of me with people, depending on how I perceive them or where they're at.

I hosted my friends this weekend in a lil house warming gig. Lol.

They talked about this guy called Dynamo, and how demonic he is because he levitates, and does other cool stuff that we'd normally term film trick. Well, I don't know much about him and I could care less. My observation when I mentioned that he might be a mystic is that this friend of mine just started calling devil and devilish o. That it is all demonic, that mystics are devilish people, that her pastor now told her this and that and that.

Well, in my mind, I knew my truth, but I had the wisdom not to spill it there...I felt it wasn't necessary.

But you see, someone you will share very intimate parts of you with deserves to be in the know. It may not matter that he doesn't dig the kind of stuff you dig, but it is good to be honest upfront about these things.

For me, I believe that there has to be that one person in the world whom I am true to. Different people have different views of me based on how I relate to them, but there is that one person, or maybe a little more than one who KNOW me. They know that I have no clearcut answer as to whether God exists or not. They know that I do not believe in casting out devils and all sort, they know that I am very divergent as regards my religious views....they know a lot, but He knows much more. He is the one person I am truly, truly myself around...sweeet, good, bad, ugly.

Now, he does not share all my views, I am sure most of it sounds tooooo spiritual for him, lol
But at least, he knows and accepts me, and I don't have to feel judged and all that.
It makes living fun.

I also agree, that despite having this awesome gift in human form, there are times it actually gets lonely. What helps me is talking about it to my other sweethearts, or better still, allowing myself go through that emotion and not fight it or want to quickly escape the feeling.

Sometimes, I feel like it is that deep part of me that's calling on me to come in, more like go within and spend sometime with it, and if I succumb, I find that I don't feel so lonely anymore. I realize there and then, that I am never alone. Even if the whole of humanity were to turn their back on me, I am never alone. It takes of change of mindset to grasp this truth.

So all the best rinrin24.
May your path be full of light and cheers.

Where have you been all my (new) life? Lol.
And that Dynamo bit, my dear nobody understands the amount of wisdom and energy it takes to not respond. I have been there one too many times and almost exploded from holding my breath and gritting my teeth.
