Carnality - Faith/Spiritual Education - Trees 8/14/22

carnality 

you are real, i am real, and everything you can grasp mentally is real though debatable outside you 

i believe in pleasure in all aspects because it’s the color of life. 

what would be the world without its vibrancy and to take it all in to enjoy 

you could compare pleasure to sugar how it makes things better but too much would be detrimental is part of why i’m almost too scared to enjoy things i don’t want them to go away 

but it will come again 

be like water letting things flow in and out of your life because you are the source 

pleasure is fleeting and temporary for the best 

so we can learn how to cope without it, so when it comes and goes, we don’t go with it 

do not lose yourself in the pursuit of pleasure or you will always be hungry 

find pleasure internally 

faith/spiritual education 

i’m not religious but i go to church every sunday for work and in my time spent here i’ve gained spiritual knowledge which has brought me some peace 

i take the preachings in my own way because i don’t feel i am at a place where i believe in god 

i thought i would become religious out of fear of my own mind cause i viewed religious people as incapable of viewing life for what it ‘truely’ is 

when it was i who was limited and naive to all the diversity of spirituality

i’ve been a carnal being most my life but getting in tune with my soul i see, accept, and appreciate religion i think it’s very important 

i always viewed religion as limiting because i lacked faith 

i was pessimistic and depressed 

i pray for myself 

it’s good to confess and speak because our word holds power 

we are more than physical beings but in our natrual state they are nearly inseparable

we have all the power of the world in ourselves and we need to be guided to know what to do with that power 

energy undirected is chaos 

i walk by faith because it’s only the beginning and i cannot be fearful standing or i will never learn how to walk run or fly for that matter

babies only know to keep trying cause they know not dissapoitment 

trees

i had a dream about lightning that struck the trees and 2 men were discussing it 

why would it strike here?

it just happened 

how do they remain still?

i think this dream coincides with some thoughts that i had while looking at some trees 

they’re lifeforms like us they see feel and grow, they’re giants among us

i felt their energy and liveliness 

they’re calm, they know who they are, they’re still beings that give freedom, our protectors that remain still even in the event of fire. 

they’re not greedy with their life time or how they spend it cause they know how to rise again.

trees are royalty and they never forget, the only way they share their secrets is if you cut or kill them

i don’t think trees die angry or sad, they die with peace acceptance of the cycle and their use in the world
