Process of Illumination

I feel as if I’m destined to sing with all of my heart! ^_^

My head was throbbing because I haven’t loosened up and sang or danced in a long while..

I haven’t allowed my feelings to flow freely, and music really helps with that.

I shouldn’t feel ashamed or afraid to be pagan, to be spiritually free, to be an unbound spirit, to be bold and courageous!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being dramatic.. My emotions are genuine, and people that complain are either jealous that I can express my feelings so easily and beautifully or they don’t know how to open their minds enough to let go of their inhibitions regarding spiritual expression.

It’s sad to me that people must make fun of people for being emotional.

I really miss swimming too.

I feel going swimming would loosen me up quite a bit. n_n

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

Oooh, and don’t forget all those other lovely verses so applicable to Judgers ;)
~ John 7:24Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”<— You guys can do that :)

~ Matthew 6:25-27 For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink ; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”
~ Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

~ 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

What I have right now is really more than enough! ^_^

Continued from the other post, maybe I need to start enjoying/recognizing my own strengths better.. I would feel so much happier and more confident and I wouldn’t have to bring people down anymore.

There is a quiet arrogantly competitive attitude about me..

I think it’s good to recognize your weaknesses and even better to build on your strengths!

Broadening horizons is nice, but some people go overboard and get very little done since they are jumping back and forth between their interests.

I must break this habit of putting on fake smiles so people don’t feel badly. People should be allowed to feel what they feel!. [right now I’m both scared to judge and to be judged or misunderstood by my beloved.

I must break the habit of pretending the world revolves around me and my desires. [seems I’m doing a hell of a lot better with this one..]

I must break the habit of being observant of areas of low self-esteem..

I have been concerned about insecurities and possible health issues, and my brain puts a spotlight on those aspects of an individual rather than inspiring hope, encouraging them to develop their strengths better.

Why do I even do this?

I should be focusing on people’s strengths.

I suppose trust must run deep within me, even if I become wary and

My grandmother is nosy.

She feels a need to control people’s appearances..

You could say she is idealistic about the physical world and physical appearances.

I never used to notice skin colors. I’m sick of setting people apart just because they look different..

I like people that look different, that don”t starve themselves for the sake of other’s self-satisfaction.

I pity my grandmother for her obsession with physical appearances..

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I feel so much better when I’m in my small blurry world, the quiet, fun, spiritual observer that can simply be herself..

After a long day of social interactions, attentions still jumping from subject to subject unconsciously, locking onto perceived flaws, attractive sights, health concerns, she secludes herself to her room.

When she looks in the mirror, despite what everyone says, she likes what she sees..

That’s a special gift, don’t you think?

I still need to rein in my perfectionist/lustful facial reactions to visual stimuli..

Being able to see clearly, and as a result eventually having trained myself to make eye contact [without really knowing if this is appropriate] as an “obligation”.. having been told horrible things about my character that insulted me more than changed me..

The facial expressions I admire/d so much [on this quiet poker-faced doll until her inner emotions burst forth like a volcano..]


My facial expressions are causing my beloved pain.. and I’m scared to give people the wrong impression..

So I return to this blurry small mysterious place.. a place where darkness is not labeled as good or bad.. more as.. just how the shadows and lights dance across my vision as I travel slowly through a world that is all my own..

I must say that those with perfect vision are the ones that miss out on this beautiful hidden underestimated world…

They might not realize that even when the world is blurry, it is still quite beautiful..

The things you see clearly become inspiriational and inspire awe within the observer..

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

“Never in this world, or in the coming worlds, would I obey any authority, ruler, goverment, gods or angels, in any other way than what I could consider to be the most right or the best way possible”
- Yrjö Kallinen

This rings true for me.

Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.
