How to Discover Your True Self - I am more than a physical body

I’m sure by now you’ve become aware of the phenomenon called ‘orbs’ which generally manifest as little balls of bluish colored light that are sometimes found bouncing around haunted locations. Although they are usually invisible to the naked eye, for some reason they become visible when viewed through the lens of a digital camera.

Time Conundrums

by Daniel Wolfert. Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com Does it sometimes seem there’s not enough time to get everything done you need to accomplish? I have this feeling often, but then my higher self steps in and reminds me that most of what I think I have to do is arbitrarily imposed by myself and the whip-masters of “the matrix” who program us from birth to be productive members of…

the meditation hut a 3D contemporary watercolor painting by Yeshaya Dank hanging on the wall by Yeshaya Dank Via Flickr: Across the pond in the Japanese garden sits an intricately designed hut with a bench in it. Perfect to sit in and enjoy the stillness of the current moment! The hut sits on its own boardwalk, surrounded by potted bamboo plants. No one will disturb you here! This artwork is all about taking it easy and being relaxed and having space in your home, or you can make yourself a little Japanese Garden, with a meditation hut of your own to just have a space where you take it easy, in a beautiful place. Perhaps, it is on the side of some water or a pond, because you may actually have a Japanese Garden of your own that you walk into and you go around some water or over a little bridge, into your own little space where you can just sit down and you just take it easy and go ahhhh for a bit.

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss this.

Mansplain, Manipulate, Malewife that.

What about Androgyny, Anxiety, Anarchy?

Representation matters.

Transcending into the Sacred Feminine - Aphrodite Awakens

The Universe never gives up on us, despite what we might believe to be evidence to the contrary. Take my story for example; here I was locked into a situation that was leading me nowhere near to my potential. After the economic meltdown as a self-employed person my ability to make things happen to provoke change and movement in my life all but disappeared, and that fact kept me in a relationship…

Here's Kingsley's redesign. The unexpected glow up!

Kingsley's whole arc is that his desire for justice and to protect everyone, awakens a rage within him. He also develops a kinda twisted sense of morality as time goes by. As he starts to believe the end justifies the means, and the only way to get the upper hand is to play the same game their enemies are playing. Whatever the costs. As mentioned in the plot synopsis, Kingsley is angry, mostly at himself for being so weak. He feels like he's not meant to lead if he doesn't have the strength to protect everyone. He must become stronger to defeat the YBA and all evil. This leads to him finding and injecting himself with Jojo's Chemical X serum.

This serum is unstable as it's been sitting dormant for so long, and would have killed him if Hank and the rest of the Technology Department didn't band together to save him. Though his case is way more complicated than they can handle, so Kingsley is under the care of Blossom and the VL's generous benefactor, Dexter. Kingsley wears Dexter's invention, the Vita-Pack, to track his vitals and forces him into a "Cool-Down Cycle" if he happens to approach his limit, as limit breaking could be catastrophic for him. He can reach Limit Break by overexerting himself or by being consume with an intense rage, which he is prone to under the serum. Being called weak is a big trigger for him.

He uses a bo staff he designed himself after being trained by Taiyang and Xiang. His super enhanced muscle memory allowed him to learn to fight quicker than normal, though he still prefers to use his mind to gain the upper hand.

The most recent episode of Interview with a Vampire let's us see Lestat's side of the story and see how it compares to Louis' accounting of their relationship. As a result, it reaffirms just how unreliable of a narrator Louis is, but it also further illuminates elements of his character that the director and writers have been playing with since the beginning of the show.

There's this part in the episode where Lestat turns to Louis and apologizes and it's framed with Lestat turned to Louis on one side and Claudia on his other side. They're the angel and devil on Louis' shoulders, but who is the angel and who is the devil? And as my friend said, Armand and Daniel are placed into that same dynamic with Louis later on. We are being asked to decide who to trust, who's telling the truth, who's the good guy, but the fact of unreliability robs us of that decision.

This whole story is about Louis, he's the protagonist, though not the narrator, and he is constantly being pulled in two directions, no matter when or where he is in his story. He's a mind split in two, divided by nature and circumstance. He's vampire and human, owner and owned, father and child, angel and devil. He's both telling the story and being told the story. His history is a story he tells himself, and as we've seen, sometimes that story is not whole.

Louis is the angel who saved Claudia from the fire but he's also the devil who sentenced her to an life of endless torment, the adult trapped in the body of a child. He's the angel who rescued Lestat from his grief and also the devil who abandoned him, who couldn't love him, could only kill and leave him.

He's pulled in two directions, internally and externally at all times and so it's no wonder that he feels the need to confess, first to the priest, then Daniel, and then Daniel again.

He's desperate to be heard, a Black man with power in Jim Crow America who's controlled by his position as someone with a seat at the table but one who will never be considered equal. He doesn't belong to the Black community or the white community, he can't. He acts as a go-between, a bridge, one who is pushed and pulled until he can't take it anymore. He's a fledgling child to an undead father, he's a young queer man discovering his sexual identity with an infinitely experienced partner. He's confessing because he wants to be absolved, that human part of him that was raised Catholic, that child who believed, he wants to be saved. He wants to be seen.

Louis wants to attain a forever life that is morally pure, but he can't. He's been soiled by sin, by "the devil," as he calls Lestat, and he can never be clean again. Deep down, I think he knows this, but he can't stop trying to repent. He tries to self-flagellate by staying with Lestat and then tries to repent by killing him, but can't actually follow through. He follows Claudia to Europe to try and assuage his guilt. He sets himself on fire, attempts to burn himself at the stake, to purify his body, rid himself of the dark gift.

Louis is a man endlessly trying to account for the pain he has caused and he ultimately fails, over and over again, because he can't get rid of what he is. A monster. He's an endlessly hungry monster. He's hungry for love, for respect, for power, for forgiveness, for death. He's a hole that can never be filled. He can never truly acquire any of those things because he will always be punishing himself for wanting and needing them in the first place. He will never truly believe he deserves them and as a result, can't accept them if they are ever offered. He can never be absolved for he has damned himself by accepting the dark gift and thus has tainted himself past the point of saving.
