sweet, i am not the only tard present :) yay, we smart :)
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / On tour through Texas
I am reflecting life with a cup of coffee… pondering my sore back and still neck in a tub made of Epsom salts and a glorious bath mix I got from this awesome little store in San Francisco. As I lay there and tried to soak my body loose, I was drawn to my meditative state, which was well needed. It seems for me that in effort to “do” I forget my ability to BE as well. My resounding lesson for this year at least has been that I need to have faith. I am conscious and in control of my awareness. I have choices in they way I believe, and perceive, my surroundings. I have constant instruction and lessons that are available to me when I listen and take the time to be open to my world of possibilities. I can only really me responsible for the way I view my world, for it is unique to only me. I don’t think it’s wrong to share our experiences of faith yet I believe it is folly to try to convert another to my beliefs. How can I assume that I am any more worthy of a title or authority to instruct them in how to perceive their own faith? The world we share is that of community connected by thought, or spirit if you will, however you term it, it comes down to energy. At least in my world it does. Energy breaks down into static and movement and when they connect there is a reaction resulting in movement. It creates a reaction that spurs more energy off into different directions to create new moments of static and movement and so on and so on. On the level of human existence that I can perceive. We are all dual in nature, we represent the whole. We are bound by perceptions of liitations that are passed on to us as truths and we adopt them as our own. Why? It is perhaps easier to accept another’s concepts if they sound pleasing enough and not have to go through the “pain” of finding out your own truths. We try to avoid pain so generally, it’s much more of an option to choose a more pleasing and comfortable path. And there is nothing wrong with that. Pain is necessary to the process of growth, it not the only experience available but it is what is the catalyst to growth. It is up to us how we choose to perceive pain, and what we do with the result of it. Now if either of these experiences is off balance, it will lead to destruction, which is necessary for rebirth. I have taken other routes in life and they were right for then but not for now. This moment is unique and right here and holds it’s own resources for new experience. Every experience will have its cycles and opportunities to create more energy. In all these cycles, painful, happy, and full of all the scope of emotions that will serve to teach me more about the connection between my physical reality and my conscious reality. I feel responsibility to listen to my intuition. It is as just as much apart of me as my physical body, and likewise, I pay attention to my physical body as it point my in the direction of my spiritual body and it’s resource of power and energy in the manifestation of my it’s existence. If I listen to my body it will tell me of places I need to focus on in my spiritual reality to bring more balance of my polarites. If I listen to my spiritual body, it will tell me areas in my physical body that need more focus and energy to restore balance. It is my own yet part of many. I believe that without limitation, we are universal and ONE made of static and flow. I cannot separate myself from my existence. I am experiencing a physical reality and learning how to live in that reality so on the balance, I also experience my spirit reality or conscious realities and the result of their merging is a charge emitting more energy. And it goes on and on until it doesn’t. But to keep the balance, it does, the realities only change to a new experience. Each new experience is necessary; they all hold their own purpose.

Shorten this, and you have gold. The introduction seems trite and illplaced.

I do not believe this to be pointless like certain other reviewers. I, as we discussed, take other beliefs and assimilate those facets I believe into my own set of truths. This one would have some assimilations, had I nto already realized what of it is truth to me. I also believe that ones precepts should not be forced on another, because at any time they could be proved worng. Everything ytou say herer seems to be reminiscent of stuff that has happened in my life. My world is also unique to myself. I see it differently then others, this I know. Some see faith, some see science. I see happenings. I believe there is no such thing as luck or fate, you make what you are. If you lose by a second, youve still lost, and its still your fault. Thats pretty glass-half-empty of me, but its something I know to be true. I see that you, like me, write a revelation down when you think of it. The reason being for me my abhoral memory. I think by energy you mean actions in some form, which would be very similar to what I believe. though it was a grossly gigantic figure of chancew that I met you here and indeed my best friend even more so where we met, I believe that this was pure happening, and that it likely would have happened anyway. Traveling the same circles will eventually lead you to the person anyway I believe. I am not bound by limitations, certainly not. I have gone through the pain of searching for what is truth to me every day of my life. Undoubtedly it has caused more then half of the painful incidences with good friends, and almost cost me dearly in that regard. It may be an offside point, but still, it is enlightning and interesting to read at the same time. This is unlike almost any other belief things I read. Assimilation acheived.

True, i believe we are a combo of physical being and energy, well put. and i believe we do chose what we want to believe at any given time, sometimes we err, and balance is lost.
there are a couple of typo’s in this – I can only me responsible, should be-be.
my physical body as it point my, should be points.
But what are the purposes, and why do most humans strive to live a good life.
But there is nothing wrong in believing in religion as obviously the story tellers of old encouraged man to live a rightcious path (at leasy most of them do)

You need to form paragraphs in this passage. First of all, it gets really boring when you don’t divide sections up when your subject changes. You don’t mention anything at all pertaining to your tour through Texas. So, you need to retitle this piece. Also, as I was reading, this turns into a religious philosophy lesson on what makes the author have faith. I think if you reorganize it a little and make paragraphs, it will be okay.

Kind of fooled me starting off in the bath tub then going on to spend the next several hundred words telling us your beliefs. Some of them are very good and it is true you can’t convert another, unless you are lucky enough to connect with some one that is searching.

I am going to try to be fair. I just don’t understand why you even bothered to mention the bath-details if you were just going to melt into a loosely focused philososhy-stream. I guess that I am just too cynical to enjoy this type of writing. There is no sentiment. It is humorless and vapid. The spirituality is completely null of any substantive emotion. It is depressing and colorless. Am I missing something?
”...I also experience my spirit reality or conscious realities and the result of their merging is a charge emitting more energy”
? Okay.
The entire piece is shamelessly self-centered and offers nothing to the reader. It’s full of all of the old “deep” cliches that people discussed when they tried LSD… At age sixteen!
On a technical note:
“As I lay there and tried to soak my body loose, I was drawn to my meditative state, which was well needed.”
Your tenses are anachronous. You start in the present and then jump to the past… “As I lay here and try” or “As I laid there and tried” Pick one and be consistent from that point on.
If this is a self-serving journal only… I can understand. I just don’t know why you bothered to put it up on this site to be reviewed like a serious piece of writing.
... maybe I just haven’t eaten enough mushrooms this year.

Feel free to send me a not-so-friendly message if it makes you feel better. I really hate to take knives to your work like this, but I sincerely feel that this piece is self-indulgent tripe… which makes sense that it take place from the vantage of a warm bath.
