Yinnergy and the Wellspring of Creativity

A Journey into the Essence of Creative Energy In the boundless realm of spiritual exploration, there are moments that not only illuminate our understanding but also become catalysts for creation and expression. During my conversation with Steve James on Guru Viking, I shared insights into the creation of my Yinnergy audio meditation program, a project deeply intertwined with my spiritual…

ugh

saw a post with a quote that basically tidily summed up the rebuttal i'd half-started drafting to someone's post about how homosociality in tolkien ~queers amatonormativity~ [spoiler: on the contrary, male homosociality has been engaged in a three-way handshake with both misogynist heterosexuality and amatonormativity for literal millennia, and far from undermining them, more typically serves as essential reinforcement], so i was like, great, now i don't have to actually write that essay, i can just reblog this instead and tag it #tolkien! :)

but then, like a conscientious idiot, i went and dutifully looked up the book it was from, because i think it's irresponsible to cite excerpts whose context you aren't familiar with; and very predictably it turned out to be by a r*dfem and to make all sorts of claims abt so-called 'phallocratic culture' that i dislike, both as a trans person and ally myself and also as a logical thinker who can tell perfectly well from, you know, lived experience of our society that having a penis doesn't in fact confer ready social acceptance, never mind dominance, on people who don't otherwise look or act the part of a Proper Man, because ultimately what we reflexively defer to is a particular vibe, produced by a combination of physique and affect and other things besides, which may imply the presence of a penis but neither actually reveals nor necessitates one…

so like. ugh. probably i'm gonna have to write my own essay after all. :/

Spirituality, Spiritual But Not Religious, Supernatural Realms, Personal Growth

The meaning of spirituality has developed and expanded over time, and various meanings can be found alongside each other.[1][2][3][note 1] Traditionally, spirituality referred to a religious process of re-formation which “aims to recover the original shape of man”,[note 2] oriented at “the image of God“[4][5] as exemplified by the founders and sacred texts of the religions of the world. The term…

man i havent seen like anybody talking about it--probably because i do my level best to block every transphobe i can find and purposefully avoid twitter as much as possible--or else i wouldnt say anything but the sophie from mars situation seriously has been breaking my brain. i dont wanna be the exact guy i would criticize in this situation and shift focus from the victims but i truly thought she was one of the most incisive political commentators on youtube, i actively looked forward to her perspectives & shared them with so many people around me. its hard on some level to not feel shocked and blindsided particularly because she was someone who consistently and articulately spoke about abuse and exploitation.

“North of Ford Lane a heron stood knee-deep in snow. The Gale did not rock him; His long gray feathers were unruffled, regal, and frozen and dead. he stood to the wind in his thin sarcophagus of ice. Already he seemed to be dynasties away from me. I have outlived him, as a gibbering ape outlived the dinosaur.”

I just finished Tears of the Kingdom and found the ending to be disappointing, but in exactly the way I expected it to be.

Playing through the game, I was actually quite impressed by the writing quality. It fumbled in some specific moments (the sages' quests, mostly), but what stuck with me was the strong thematic consistency. The thrust of the main plot, from the regional quests to the memories, is an attempt to find out what happened to Zelda. Meanwhile, side quests often hinge on Zelda as well, be it the Yiga clan impersonating Zelda or various citizens' memories of her. This is perhaps the first Zelda title to really feel like 'the legend of Zelda'.

But in the way the game sort of reminisces about her and what she's like, combined with finding out about her great sacrifice, I began to feel like Tears of the Kingdom was also a memorial to Zelda. The game is grieving her. This is a game about a girl who loved her kingdom and her knight so much that she sacrificed her very self to protect them. We are told that becoming a dragon is something you cannot come back from, that the Zelda we knew, the girl everyone loves and can't stop talking about, is gone forever. The brave choice, then, is to let the player steep in that feeling. The brave choice is to let her be gone.

I knew Nintendo would not be that brave, however. As I watched Zelda inexplicably return to human form, I could only sigh. The event is (weakly) explained afterwards, but that does not stop one from thinking in the moment, 'We were told this would be impossible. That hurdle has not been meaningfully surpassed. This does not feel earned.' What this ending does, what saving Zelda does, is undermine part of what made the game up to that point special. Nintendo instead chose a tidy, lukewarm happily ever after, and the game is worse off for it.

Known by God (Psalm 139:13-18)

We don’t really know God, as much as we are known by God.

You are the onewho put me together    inside my mother’s body,and I praise you because ofthe wonderful way    you created me.Everything you do is marvelous!    Of this I have no doubt. Nothing about me    is hidden from you!I was secretly woven together    out of human sight,but with your own eyes you saw    my body being formed.Even before I was born,you had written in your book    everything…

La saviesa que pot merèixer aquest nom és la que s’estén més enllà dels canons establerts per les ciències. Altrament només es tracta d’especialitzacions concretes, encara que molt profundes, però que no ho abracen tot.

You are God.

If you're in the LOA community, you've probably heard this saying all the time: "There is nothing impossible to you. You are God."

While some part of me agreed with it, I still didn’t feel like a powerful God who can create whatever he/she desires.

So I started questioning, “Am I truly God?”

My curious and doubtful mind led me to finding the answers that made everything clear to me. I finally understood what I am, where I came from, and what my purpose is here.

So, am I God? Are you God? The answer is yes, of course, you are. Here's how it works:

Once upon a time, there was The God, the original creator of everything, including you and me.

God is everything seen and unseen. It’s the great Divine that is the source of everything.

God existed in the space of nothing and everything, the void you might call it. God knew that it was the Great Divine, the Creator.

This God not only wanted to know itself as a Creator but also to experience it. How can you experience something if you exist in the space of nothing and everything? You just are.

So, The God created this Universe to experience itself as a creator.

The Universe was created, and then God divided itself into infinite parts so that he/she could experience itself experientially as humans and any other species that exist.

These parts are what we call souls. You. Me. All of us. We are all parts of God. We are God. There is no separation between God and you. God is experiencing itself through you.

Since we are all part of God, we also have the same abilities as God. We were truly created in the image and likeness of God, not physically, but our essence, our powers are the same because we are the same. We are made of the same stuff

And we can create whatever we choose. We can recreate ourselves anew at any given point. In fact, you are already doing it. Every moment of your existence, you are choosing who you are. Your state, thoughts, feelings, and actions show it.

You are God. Remember that. We all forget it before coming to this physical world. It’s all part of the plan. But now it’s time for you to remember that. If it weren’t the time, then you wouldn’t have discovered LOA, manifestation, etc.

It’s impossible to not be God. But it’s possible to not know that you are. So now you know.
