Entry 295 - Do You Trust Yourself?

-
8/26/20

 A low vibrational mindset that I notice amongst many Christians have is this belief: I cannot trust myself because my very nature is sinful.

Because of this, the person then feels an added weight and pressure to derive any trust solely from what the Bible says instead of what their heart says in worry that they might be deceived by their own sinful heart.

The problem with thinking like this is you become your own worst enemy. If you can’t trust yourself, how do you make any decisions? If you make decisions based off of other people’s decisions, how do you know those decisions are right for you? They might have been right for that person in that time period at that place, but it could be not helpful or even disastrous to make that same decision in this time period. 

If you make decisions solely on the Bible which was orally passed down for two hundred years (OT) and tens of years (NT) to specific groups of people and try to shape and mold it for yourself, how are you certain you aren't misinterpreting its words to fit your own beliefs? How can you trust that you're not doing that when you don't even trust yourself? If you don't trust yourself, then you cannot trust that you won't shape and mold the Bible to fit your own beliefs. It's a circle of defeat which only creates more pain from distrust.

March 17th 2023 Mean girls the movie may be the girl bible for the ladies, but rap is the only place where a man can be cocky and talk about pussy and somehow still keep his reputation. So many modern rap songs are trash. Remove the beats and keep the verses, and they sound like a broken percussion by a creep who makes poems about women’s private parts. When are they going to focus on women’s smarts, their hearts and their love in every fart??? – March 21st I got bored, so I started living my best life. – March 22nd White magic, new age, Kundalini, spirituality that stress one needs to be detached from emotions, which is completely contrary to why we came here, is super toxic. Any idea of transcending your emotions is also a denial of our humanity because we came here with an emotional body in order to feel every emotion, not just “the good ones….” Whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean. When you deny your emotions, you also deny yourself. You deny the reason why you came here– to e

February 5th 2023 The reason why nothing means anything until we give it meaning is because of this: In order to have something mean something, you need to have something that doesn’t mean something. In the act of splitting those two apart or existing separately, it creates duality.  If all that was before there was everything was love, then there is no meaning, just love. That’s why love doesn’t mean something because that would create duality. Love just is. To say it means something is to imply duality because in order for something to mean something, then something else must contrast it. Love is before what means or doesn’t mean anything. That which is, precedes labels, definitions, dualities and physical reality. It is the eternal. That which encapsulates and goes beyond. Love is the limitless infinite. The One that will never fail to be what it is. -- I thought I was asexual, but then I realized I only want the baddest bitch that exists. -- February 6th Many Christians think the w

March 2nd 2023 I was confused why i wasn’t like the others Why I preferred one over a thousand lovers One kiss for eternity over hook ups in beds Was I conditioned by church to stay a virgin or did I choose that out of my own internal provision? Was I programmed to detest sex or did I detest the idea of it being treated anything less than an act of divinity? Was I asexual or were my standards too high? What about sex keeps me a virgin? Is it God? The church? Or myself? A virgo in astrology might have foreshadowed the realization but if I don’t need it why make a big deal about it? If I feel the reason is not persuasive enough, why do it with another? and so I don’t. Does that make me anything? maybe it just makes me another human. Perhaps there is an undertone As I write this I feel it bubble to the surface I’ve always known I’m a hopeless romantic at heart Falling deeply for people in my dreams without an ounce of showing any of those feelings outwardly But it reaches deeper than that
