okay i get it “merlin is magic incarnate, it doesn’t make sense for him to not be able to perform healing spells” i get it! completely agree! HOWEVER let me offer this counterpoint:

the bit of healing magic emrys was supposed to embody was given to arthur instead. thats what kept him alive from magical threats for years before merlin got to camelot. he uses it unconsciously and thinks his expeditions/quests are just super lucky bc if his knights get injured it’s always something minor (because arthur’s healing magic seeps out into his men as well and keeps them from death). if someone were to get dangerously hurt, they tend to heal a lot quicker when arthur tends to their wounds. its so subtle that no one jumps to magic. it also kind of makes them yin and yang as the warrior set to oppose magic holds a morsel within and the embodiment of magic becomes a warrior to protect his king.

I've been doing a lot of reflection as of late, especially after this past class.

This past class was about the Torah and Tanakh in general, and the way the rabbi talked about the commandments (specifically the ten commandments) has made me really reflect on how I interpret them, specifically the fifth commandment, or honoring your mother and father.

This is a commandment I have wrestled with for a long time - in fact, it brought me away from g-d at multiple times. I was severely abused when I was incredibly young by my mother, and I used to feel insulted at the implication that I were to honor her while she got to live a better life. It was hypocritical, in my eyes.

But this rabbi surmised that this particular commandment was because parenthood is an act of creation, something that is like the g-d from which we come from. My realization is this: I don't think we're necessarily meant to take even these commandments literally.

I this particular commandment is more of a call to honor creation - creation is a gift, and like any gift, many people simply will not like it and will discard it. The person who abused me created me, but she did not honor creation. She didn't honor me, but I can still honor it.

I have started to honor creation much more. I'm too young, too unstable, not mature enough to be a father (though I fantasize about it), but I create all the time. I create relationships, I create with my hands through crochet. I create memories, I create my world. And I can honor who I am and where I came from that made me who I am. I've been learning one of the mother tongues of my family (Italian, since part of my family originates there) and it was judaism that inspired me to do this.

I don't think g-d wants me to honor my abuser. I think He wants me to remember the Holy action of creation. When I am a father, that act of creation will be Holy, and indeed, I am already joyful about the thought.

I have seen many people struggle with this particular commandment, but I think this perspective helps me personally. I don't think I ever have to forgive my abusers (plural), and I don't think I am commanded to simply because they happened to be family. I am commanded to recognize the holy, to elevate the mundane. In doing so, I will remember g-d. Through creation, I honor g-d and everything he has done for us, for me, and for our collective people.

being present does not necessarily mean enjoying the present. it means accepting it. accepting and sitting in the current state no matter how uncomfortable and resistant you might feel. it’s accepting what Is without attaching labels or feelings to it. just observing and seeing it through.

Danny Phantom was not used to fighting magic users. Ghosts, yes. But humans with powers? No.

So when a cult managed to successfully summon and bind him, he lacked the knowledge of how to stop them.

And they tore him apart.

His core was broken into pieces, each one then implanted into one of the most loyal cult members (or potentially sold off to another person to use…) to grant them a portion of Phantom’s many powers.

However, the cult didn’t entirely know what they were doing either. You see, it turns out that shattering Danny’s core in that manner didn’t truly end him. His soul still persisted, still refused to die even as it was trapped amongst the disparate shards. Though each individual piece lacked the strength of mind or power to affect their hosts, they would gradually forge themselves together anew should they ever be gathered back together.

And after Red Hood killed several of the cult’s members, that process began. Their shards, now freed, transferred to the vigilante, instinctively latching onto his proto-core. Though still not yet whole enough to form a truly conscious fragment of Danny, they are enough to start to nudge Hood in the right direction (bolstered in effectiveness by Jason’s connection to death)

Jason can feel it deep within his soul. There’s something more to this cult’s powers than just normal magic, and he has a growing need to find out what that is. To stop them. To burn them all down and dig their secrets from the ashes.

Until someone can adequately recognize and express their own misgivings, it is needlessly challenging to attempt addressing them.

Everyone’s mood is their own responsibility. That’s the bottom line. Children blame their moods on others. Adults are aware of their moods and their causes. And a wise person knows how to free their moods from themselves. Anger can be felt without targeting someone, sadness can be felt without blaming someone, etc.

Don’t mistake this to mean we don’t need to be kind and considerate.

Kindness is a significant practice for a number of reasons but don’t expect it to change the mood of others. You may be kind and they may still be a dick in return. Kindness is not a thing some people deserve and others don’t; it is a basic recognition of non-separation between all beings.

WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF?

— Anna to Elsa in Frozen, November 27 2013

!aggressive/rude motivation!

ok, so what was holding me back from shifting was fear. fear of the future more specifically. and why the fuck was i scared of it? because i’m afraid of the impact i might make. in my own words “im afraid of what i may do for my future, positively or negatively, so i want to change the past.” I said that last night.

i said something so true yet so stupid. i’ll fix something that is already perfect in Gods eyes because I don’t like it? please. i’d rather try to edit what went wrong than make things right for my future?

what if ur favorite artist did that. they didn’t wanna change, so they never released their music. they wouldn’t have made an impact on you.

manifestation and shifting is BIGGER THAN YOU! stop trying to carry everything with you! you don’t need your past, you don’t need your fear.

i’m not starting a new chapter, i’m ending this book, and stating anew.

do you wanna paint over a finished canvas or start with a new one? one that isn’t folding over itself, crumbling before your eyes.

why keep working with something that’s frustrating you. start anew.

this is your new book, written by you. write the narrative in your words, not someone else’s.

i love you all. this is a reminder to all of us, it’s okay to start over or leave something behind.

from the deep depths of your mind,
