..reflecting on the choices from instances in time that met an early tragedy, because their hearts were driven by individual ambition, and the desire to be desired.

Curiosity encounters confusion, and somehow a soap opera manifests. Wherein people become characters, portrayers, exaggerated figures reflecting real statutes of reality. Where emotions reign supreme, and consciousness of the inevitable is the realization that leads to cyclical states of dissonance, and ultimately, a preference for ignorance.. ignorance a force, that favours comfort and illusion, over empiricism and Truth.

The perception of something, is not the same matter as that something. To witness a fish swimming in the pond, and understand the science and philosophy behind that nature of being, is not the same as the being itself. It is present in a way that exists, beyond perception… where shadows hide and wait, for a moment of raw vulnerability to manipulate and morph into self-conscious thoughts, anxious, shameful, afraid. A force of fear that is always present but mustn't be permitted access nor possession over our thinking. To be aware of the dangers of reality, of life, is to accept that we are not God. and that is okay.

I believe that in the moment we place ourselves on that pedestal, even if it is in our own minds; we commence the process of unraveling. In that moment, we turn from the Way of the Spirit, and serve pride (with all of its sinful, immoral, inhumane, unbecoming belongings).

We reach points in time filled with grief and regret wondering how it is that matters became so tense and volatile. Meanwhile, the Truth is in the Present that is Eternal.

The environments we place ourselves in; become defining components of what shapes our identity, if we do not already have a clear sense of self, a heart of humility, filled with genuine faith that recognizes God, an ambition, a goal, and aspiration for a good life. All of which, at its core; Serves Love. … Then we become lost, imitations of ourselves.

Love does not come with conditions.

Love does not serve the self.

Love serves Love.

Love is unconditional.

All that does not result from, nor produce Love; will lead to stress, fear, and anxiety.

The Pathway toward wholeness is learning to let go of those wants, masquerading as needs, and keeping the faith alive.

"I was born into this life, to live. But, I don't want to just live… I want to be Alive."

I praise the Lord Jesus Christ,

I praise God,

I am thankful for another beautiful day.
