#DeepReflection

[thenightpoem]

Power

An elixir of change

The bane of our lives

Before it the pieces rearrange

Its mystery, deeper than the hieroglyphs

From philosophers to astronomers

From gardeners to emperors

From elders to youngsters

All united by a silhouette

So unique yet so widespread

Is it a Light of hope, or a hidden threat?

A divine miracle , or an eternal debt?

Once set upon the mind

It makes all that it touches blind

It’s hunger never ending

Its hunt unwavering

Its rampage uncontrollable

Its yearning eternal

Growing, expanding, over all it towers

All that is good and pure it greedily devours

A Treasure of the gods?

Veils woven from within

Twisted in whirling knots

Is this how it’s always been?

Its almighty strenght

Like Moises it cuts Deep

Makes all bow at its knee

And those below it weep

A sword so great

Not many can withstand its weight

Or wield it without faith

Shatterer of the Iron gate

They came from far and wide

To wield it all have tried

But instead they’re tied

And at its stone all died

A beast, a monster

Hate and jealousy foster

Taming it is a quest

A true character’s test

But What is this beast

This tall Crystal tower

For which our souls is it feast

That my friends is........simply power

With a short stop at the end to look out over the #lake and stare long as I #quietly #contemplate #life. • #DeepReflection on life and where I’m going. Life has a lot of challenges, and ups and downs. At this moment Life has felt #down. • #realizations bring me to the point where I need to let go. I am not in #control of the #outcome as much as I want to be, I am not. • #Love is important, and to be #cherished • All I can do is all I can do. What I do control is my efforts and reactions and responses to situations. #SelfControl can move you from #SelfDestruction. • First lesson of 2023! • #firstlesson #Awareness #Inspiration #Lifestyle #BeTheSolution • #Shuswap #ShuswapLake #Wander #wanderingmind #Roam #RoamingMind #quietcontemplation #Quiet (at Salmon Arm, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnn_2VMLplj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Modern and Classic Generations......

What really is the difference between the young and old, despite the physical difference, but even that factor can be considered more like a blur..

  "All History Is a Current Event"-unknownPersonally, I used to think a lot of elements were different, the sun, the moon; black and white people; red and blue; modern and retro, well you get where I am coming from, but as I have grown to analyze these elements, I discovered that these concepts have different parts and mechanics...yes; meanwhile, these parts come from one source with the colors being created from one color source, the sun and moon being birthed from the universe, and dark and light- complexioned beings are apart  and make up humanity. Now, to get back to the topic, old and young ways of living are not merely different, but are only living based on what they learned or know.

As I was growing older or younger, as some say either or, I was always told the generation that I live in is terrible and that they do not having any morals or "home-training" so to speak, then you have some elders feeling or thinking that their generations do not share responsibility for the behaviors and antics that the new generation is exemplifying or showing. Till this day, there is this thick and visible barrier between young and older generations from they way they act, to clothes, music, style of dressing, to the current issues that our society deals with today. This separation anxiety that some people are still holding onto needs to stop, it only brings disconnect and turmoil between another, both groups have a lot to learn and do in order for future generations to take better care of humanity and this planet, which is burning rather quickly by the way.

For instance, I am going to use music as a separated concept that both parties feel are different(when its really not), the elders feel that their descendants act in foolishly and shame themselves based on the music that is being play currently, while the descendants feel that the past music is boring and worthless, maybe not exactly in these words but close to how they feel. I am a lover of classic and older music, but I have admiration and love for current music as well; meanwhile, music and many other forms of living are nothing but manifestations of past inventions...look at technology, like a pen and notebook filled with trees as paper has now been transformed into a notebook personal computer, so one could not survive or be made without the other.

This may be a little off-topic, but I have so much appreciation and admiration for nature because the very makings and beings that help each system function do not have battles about which group has done worse or contributed, all elements and components work together to bring harmony, peace, and love into their habitat. When you have time, just sit outside and observe how the birds, squirrels, trees, plants, and other organic element play into each other no matter how long they lived on this planet, but how they are able to interact with one another to bring a shift into their existence.

Something had trigger me to cover or mention this topic, originally I was going to write about my loc journey, but I will save that for another time...anyhow young and old still experience this imagined thought and perspective that we are so different from each other, and how could that be when the young was birthed from the old, where the elders taught the young everything that they know and the pattern continues many lifetimes.

Looking at the crimes that has taken place, from racial profiling from police brutality which effects each one of us, of course, these crimes have a bigger effect on others, but it sill has a impact on all of us. Police brutality is a criminal act, just like robbing has been around, since people and objects were brought together, but back on police brutality which is a popular and viewed act that has become a common practice that others are constantly indoctrinated to seeing on new stations like CNN and NBC, but again what is new, police brutality has been around, ever since police were formed into society. Now, this is not specifically on the age groups, but it still brings another idea on how a lot of current events have been seen in earlier lifetimes are deem to be outside or different because we're in a different time zone.

It is time to fill this imaginary gap that has made others feel superior and inferior to one another, which is blocking all of us to bring the change needed to make humanity thrive again. Just my thoughts on a link

P.S. I wrote this piece yeearrs ago, some thoughts I resonate and some differently, but read away and share your thoughts ;-)

En la quietud del momento, nuestro Shar Pei nos comparte una lección de sabiduría ancestral, cada arruga un testimonio de serenidad y contemplación profunda. Este guardián del tiempo se posa con dignidad, inmerso en la belleza serena de la naturaleza que lo rodea, recordándonos encontrar la calma en el caos del día a día. Deja que su presencia noble inspire un respiro, una pausa para apreciar la simplicidad y la profundidad de la vida. 🍂🐾

Bending an Ear

I’ve got a cluster of things I’ve been wanting to write about but haven’t really had the time. Having such a large collection of friends is not something I’m used to. But that isn’t what we are here to talk about.

Were here to talk about that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach. The deep down feeling of the bottom dropping out. The feeling of helplessness as you watch events unfold that you’ve been through knowing that there is nothing you can do other than talk and be there for when things might get ugly.

I have built in me this need to provide protection for anyone. But I also understand that people are going to do what people are going to do. Life Lessons need to be made and mistakes need to be experienced. There is absolutely no way you can put anyone you care for in a plastic bubble for their safety. That’s not a life anyone should have to live if they have a choice.

The most we can do is provide our experience, let them know things to look out for, love them, be there for them, and let them make their life. What we experienced may not be the same, we can only base our assumptions on the experiences we have had and while we can make educated guesses. We aren’t always right. Our age and the wisdom we collected along the way isn’t going to help anyone that can’t see the fact that what lays ahead may be daggers. We can provide them some things to look for, to help keep them safe. We can help provide them an ear, and arm, a shoulder and a safe place to come without feeling judged.

These things would have helped a vast majority of us had we had anything resembling acceptance and understanding while we grew up.

I’ve said a few times now …. No one gets through life without trauma.

It’s kind of disheartening. But what could a world filled with safe spaces, actual support, from not just family, but everyone. What would a world look like where the goal was to uplift the people around you and not compete to tear them down. I know I will never see this world. But a “Me” can dream. Right?

As a young me, I felt pressured to be interested in things I was not. To put on a face that was socially acceptable. I became what people thought of me. I became what I hated. It left me feeling hollow, empty, used, dirty, fake, and extremely lost.

I wanted to find my safe space and every time I tried I would get thorns and the effort of trying to find it was exhausting. Being behind the mask seemed almost effortless after a while. I accepted things I would never expect another person to accept or experience. And each time I turned more and more inward.

If I could express to anyone…. if I could give anyone an ‘epiphany’ by some means where a light bulb clicked and you could see that you are worth being valued by the people around you and those you hold dear. They should never make you feel ‘less than’. They should not be draining, it shouldn’t be an effort to be around them. When you think of spending time with them, it is a joy and not a sigh of reluctance.

I never thought something like this would have been possible. Likely never back home. (at least I feel this in my soul) But I’ve found it. My Partner is my safe space. Where ever he is, I know that I will have someone in my corner and someone to smack some sense into me when I’m being nonsensical or need a check because I’ve decided to run my train and mach speeds.

The friends we have made here are just as much a safe space, but in different ways. To have a friend understand when you just don’t have the energy for plans that were made, not having to make up excused. you just don’t feel like doing it and want to stay home. Having them understand and follow it up with an open invitation if anything changes. and legitimately mean it. It’s pretty amazing.

I am starting to run down the rabbit whole of wanting to provide every amazing example I’ve had with the friends we made so I don’t forget any of them. but thats not what this post is about.

So I need to end it here. I hope you enjoyed the read. I hope you get something out of it.

Unveiling the Essence: What is the Meaning of Life?

Introduction:

The age-old question of the meaning of life has intrigued philosophers, sages, and seekers for centuries. It is a query that transcends cultures, religions, and belief systems, touching the very core of our existence. In this exploration, we embark on a journey to unravel the profound essence of this timeless question.

The Quest for Purpose:

From the moment we become aware of our existence, we seek purpose. It is a fundamental human longing to understand why we are here and what significance our lives hold in the grand tapestry of existence. This quest for purpose is deeply ingrained in our spiritual DNA, urging us to look beyond the surface of daily routines and dive into the depths of our being.

Diverse Perspectives, Universal Themes:

Throughout history, diverse cultures and belief systems have offered their unique perspectives on the meaning of life. From the concept of Dharma in Hinduism to the pursuit of Nirvana in Buddhism, and the call to fulfill one's mission in Existentialist philosophy, common threads emerge. These threads, woven into the fabric of our shared humanity, speak to a deeper truth that transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Beyond the Material Realm:

In a world often fixated on material pursuits, it is easy to lose sight of the spiritual dimension of our existence. The meaning of life extends beyond the accumulation of wealth, status, or possessions. It beckons us to explore the realms of consciousness, compassion, and interconnectedness with all living beings.

A Symphony of Connection:

Consider, for a moment, the intricate symphony of existence. The harmonious dance of planets, the delicate balance of ecosystems, and the intricate web of human relationships all point to a profound interconnection. Could it be that the meaning of life lies in recognizing and honoring this inherent oneness?

Awakening to Conscious Evolution:

As conscious beings, we possess the remarkable capacity to reflect, grow, and evolve. It is through this conscious evolution that we unearth deeper layers of meaning. It calls for self-awareness, introspection, and a willingness to transcend the limitations of ego-driven desires.

Living with Intention:

To embark on a meaningful journey, one must embrace intentionality. Living with purpose means aligning our actions, thoughts, and choices with our inner truth. It is about nurturing virtues such as love, compassion, gratitude, and empathy, which serve as guiding stars on our path.

Conclusion: Embracing the Journey:

The meaning of life is not a fixed destination, but a dynamic and ever-unfolding journey. It invites us to embrace the fullness of our existence, to seek deeper understanding, and to live with authenticity and intention. In this pursuit, we find that the meaning of life is not a singular answer, but a mosaic of experiences, connections, and moments of transcendence.

As we navigate this labyrinth of existence, let us remember that the very act of questioning, seeking, and reflecting is a testament to the richness and depth of our human experience. May we walk this path with open hearts and minds, ever eager to uncover the profound truths that await us.

Whenever I remember, come across or hear this Psalm of Moses, it puts me in a moment of sober reflection and prayers. “Help us to remember that our days are numbered, and help us to interpret our lives correctly. Set your wisdom deeply in our hearts so that we may accept your correction.” Psalms‬ ‭90:12‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Grace be multiplied unto us all 🕊.

Finding my happiness! 🙌💖🎉 For so long I struggled with depression, unhappiness, and server melancholy. It took a lot of ✔ deep reflection, ✔ being totally honest with myself, ✔ being patient with myself, ✔ learning to love myself again, ✔ allowing and so much more. I am reaping the benefits of all the hard work I put into myself. Turning my life upside down has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.

In Jungian theory, our internal world is much larger and influential than anything which can occur externally. We hold the DNA of every ancestor that ever came before us. Those are the memories, hopes, sorrows and personalities of thousands of people all manifested into our current physical form. Triggers are not just about our past, and the family we grew up in, they are deeper than that. Reflect on your negative emotions deeply to find the key to yourself. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #knowthyself #reflection #deepreflection #meditation #mindfulness #healing #internalalchemy #alchemy #manifestation #ancestralhealing #ancestors #subconscious #collective #trigger #mentalhealthawareness #collectiveconsciousness #amunar https://www.instagram.com/p/BwURdmpHefP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ln7eeggimgxk
