Who Am I?


"Who am I" He said before he gave way to the truth of the matter. "Why have you done such a thing to me? To ask me to do those things which don't bring me joy?" To sit in a rooom and be told that I need to work hard all my life? To be told that I ned to obtain a cetain grade average to be accepted as intelligent?


But there is a whole world within me waiting to be born. I may not enjoy your schools and your classes and I may not understand why you fight so hard to have me take a certain path. Because my path was laid out before me; even before I came into this physical format. So why do you try and fit me in a mold? I am just not cookie cutter enough to go there. I don't belong and if this is the way of he world then why am I even a part of it? Why don't you just allow me to choose for my liking? Why not ask me what path I wold like to take? The world needs this shine which I am holding within, but you told me not to let it out because you fear that it may not be accepted. why do you care if I take my own path or not in life? I have to wake up every morning and face my life not yours. And I was implanted a want before I was even told what to do. I know why I am but now I am confused. You ask me to be something that I just am not. You tell me that if I don't conform then I could be then end of my own legacy. But what legacy am I to uphold? One that was told to me or the one that I was truly TOLD? The one that I was TOLD was relayed to me by something far more advanced than anything you could think up in your own intellect. Why must I shed the tears of my forefathers when they have fought for my freedom? My freedom to think chose and be. Who am I to this world? And if the world had its say it wold say "I am nothing because I simply don't see it that way"

So if you are in a position as such don't pay the world any mind. You know who you are? You are divine, a god of all gods, a son, a daughter, and a child of the most high. You are love, you are loved and you are the one who decides what is to be within your life. Make the decision of Love and live life to the fullest!!!

Arguing is a foolish act!


To come to a realization of an insight is something great. I've just stumbled on one and I think I will share it. The beginning of the insight came from me taking part in the most foolish act that anyone could take part in, arguing.


About a month ago I was having a discussion with an individual about religion and spiritually. While this individual spoke for one reason or another I felt obligated to let him know about aspects of what he was saying which I simply didn't agree with. From that I became a target, I was asked questions and every time I stated my disagreeing with a view point I was argued at. I then felt it within myself (my ego) to simply defend my belief's. As I did this, I never discredited the person's belief's to whom I spoke to, I simply told him that I simply didn't see it the way he did. I even said that I could be wrong in what I feel and believe but the fact of a matter does remains; I am a stronger, wiser, more loving, more respecting, more forgiving, and more Godlier person because of the way I think and because of the things I believe in. I am an open minded person that takes insight from all types of spiritual practices and sciences and I love every bit of it. I am pretty humble when it comes to other people's belief's and I never try to convert someone so that they will see things exactly the way I do. I just enjoy spreading self empowerment and love because I see the oneness and I believe in happiness. One may say that there isn't really anything wrong with me speaking up for what I believe when it comes to me. I mean, I didn't try to convert the guy so that he would see things my way, I even told him to keep up his spiritual practice but I was very, very wrong in the way I went about the whole situation.


As soon as I spoke to discredit this person's belief's I did a very, unGodlike, unlove like, egoic thing. I mean it really doesn't matter if anyone sees things the way I do in its exact form. I actually like it better that way. Its the only way I can learn new things from others. Someone has to see things differently then me and I have to realize that I could be wrong in my beliefs and simply keep quiet.


Truth is truth regardless of what me or anyone else says. Does a person need to defend the fact that a baby is young? Does anyone need to defend the fact that we live on planet earth? NO, because truth will be truth regardless. True is to vast, it is to REAL and it doesn't need anyone to defend it. There is another truth too, one the evaded me when I had this conversation. I believe what I believe because as of now it is truth to me and it has helped me in life. Why defend this? Why even speak on it? I enjoy helping others. I want to see people happy, I want to see joy in every one's face that I come across and a lot of times in order to get that I need to throw my believes in the background. If they are truth they will be true when the conversation is over. If they are helping me in life then they will continue to. I really don't need to defend any of this. I really don't


I was called things that I didn't appreciate within this conversation and I was wrong for responding to them. When I responded, I made those things real. I was called "not of God" and in that moment in time I wasn't of God at all. This person has a real passion for his beliefs and he gains this joy in his eyes when he speaks on it. That right there should have been enough for me to keep my month shut. I should have simply allowed him to talk and just agreed and spoke on things that I did agree with. Like I said, if my belief's are truth, they would have been truth regardless of what I could or would say.


Today when a similar conversation arose I kept quiet. I allowed this person to gain his joy when he spoke on his beliefs and I agreed with him when he truly said things that I agreed with. When he questioned me I did say that I didn't agree but quickly said that I didn't do as much research on the subject as he did so I really had no right to speak on the subject. I left it at that and things turned out a lot better. A person was within the happy zone and I played a part in it. This person was beaming with the love of God and I allowed him to beam. I even told him that I would look into some of the stuff he spoke of. When I do get around to looking into these things, I will do it with love in my heart and an open mind. I will not look into it in order to discredit this person's beliefs in any way. I will not ever, ever, look into or try and learn anything for the sheer purpose of discrediting any one's religion, philosophies, belief's or whatever. I will never have it in me to defend one belief over the other because I simply will not prepare myself for that. I won't do that for my ego; I will not glorify it anymore. Insight can come from foolish acts so I believe that a person who allows another to do something foolish is a loving person. Why deny them of that life lesson? Why have them weaker then they would have been in the first place? My sheer purpose is to love and to enjoy life. To serve God by serving the Love that is within me and allowing it to shine. Anyone who ever participates in an argument for any reason is a fool in the first power. This life lesson is actually something I knew already but its good to gain insights none the less. Real is real regardless, allow, love, stay quiet so that you may learn and always know that we are all One in this thing called love.

Sky-Circles


"The way of love is not a subtle argument. The door there is devastation. Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn that? They fall, and falling they're given wings"


---Rumi---


If its an argument, whether be subtle or prodigious; it will still allow the door to devastation to remain at hand. What does it take for us to come to a potent realization of where and how to find that way which is love. Is it to tell our loved ones that they may fail at what they choose to do? Is it to sit and become the greatest critic that our loved ones have encountered? For that to occur we would have to fear for our loved ones and that for love, just can't be so. You can't "dark" for "light" so in the same token you really can't "fear" for your "love". To allow our loved ones to fall and then as they come to, lend a helping hand is to allow them to gain their own wings so that they can fly. This is the circle in the sky. Flight takes form in the sky, not the ground. We have to allow our loved ones to go into the sky so that they may gain their wings. They may fall and fall but don't fear that they will hit ground and become damaged. Because if they are not allow to gain some sky, then they will never, ever take flight. We were meant to fly like eagles, not swak in the mud like a chicken. We were meant to sore among the sky and allow that fresh air to brush against our faces. To enjoy that freedom, that exhilaration, now that my friend is LIFE. To live means to fly, to love means to allow, to fall means to gain wings. Its all a sky circle of events which need to take place within the sky. Allow, encourage then if needed freely give that helping hand without the egoic criticising. Now that is something that love is, love is EMPOWERING and fear is DISABLING. Love is flight and fear keeps us grounded. Go into the sky, take that flight and if you begin to fall I have faith that you will be given your wings.
