My purpose not only on the surface...

You are not born knowing how great an artist or how powerful a healer or how stalwart friend you could be in this lifetime. You are not born knowing how deeply you can love and care for another. You have to learn to act with courage, self confidence and faith. These are potentials you need to discover within yourself. These are spiritual qualities that must be earned.

Like heroes in a mythic journey, we are meant to struggle to make the right choices. Our divine potential calls us to rise above the Self's basic needs for survival in the physical world. We're called to grow beyond our Self, but we can't grow spiritually only by using our intellect. Divine order and logic are different from earthly logic and reason, and cannot always be perceived by our minds.

Questions such as "Why have I been born?" and "How do I know what I'm meant to do?" are in fact spiritual invocations, answered not in words through prayer but through experience. These questions activate your divine potential, energize your archetypes (if you identify with any) and compel you to complete your agreements or Sacred Contracts with other people.

Symbolic vision gives you choice – the choice to see events as arbitrary, antagonistic or as blessings that are part of a plan in which you have some say. Symbolic vision helps you understand the daily questions that arise for you, as well as the spiritual unfolding of your life. To be able to see symbolically, to act appropriately on your intuitions, takes a lot of practice and reflection. When you can symbolically read the content of your life, you can make dramatically better choices.

We all embody the laws of the universe whenever we exercise our power of choice: I make a choice and it has a consequence, regardless of who I am. Yet I can influence the quality of that consequence if I am mindful in my intention. My intentions do not change the universal laws, because all my choices will still have consequences. But if my motivations are compassionate and sincere, the consequences are more likely to be positive. A single action can result in a cascade of physical, emotional and spiritual effects.

Charism or Grace, by some is believed to be a spiritual supplement that is given to us through prayer or rituals, depending on one's beliefs or religion. Others believe that Grace flows from God to us without being requested, flowing to the hearts of children or working as a kind of secret force in the heart of a sinner leading him to repent. I believe that there is a divine form of Grace that provides us with spiritual stamina and direction and flows into us in times of need whether we ask for it or not. How else could we endure all the pain and suffering we as human beings are often exposed to? Especially during childhood if you had no love and support from your parents, or from society because of your sexuality. This divine energy is your Charism, a unique expression of Grace that empowers you. The word Charism comes from a Greek word meaning 'gift'.

At certain times we may experience an Epiphany, also Greek in origin meaning 'to manifest', like a sudden illumination. During an Epiphany one's doubts or fears are transformed into deep trust. You suddenly understand everything in a moment of utter truth. Some people describe their Epiphany experiences as the sudden ending of the inner chaos and lack of direction they felt.

Through a sudden infusion of Charism, your inability to make sense of life's challenges, coupled with the emotional weight of feeling as if you are living without a purpose or direction, is transformed into the knowledge that each moment in your life is divinely ordered. There just seem to be far too many coincidences and sequences of events for it to have all just haphazardly happened.

The passion to want to know the individual nature of your spirit, for instance, is nurtured by your Charism. Your Charism is also the energy through which the uniqueness of your spiritual identity is revealed to others, the equivalent of your own spiritual trademark. As it helps you to know yourself, you then channel it to others, as they can also channel theirs to you. The energy that you intuitively sense in other people around you is the essence of their Charism. Usually strongly felt with a lover. This is how we distinguish whether someone has good or bad intentions towards you or the world at large.

Groups as well as individuals have their own collective Grace by which they identify their unique spiritual purpose. Rituals and ceremonies that are derived from a group's particular focus draw on their Charism for guidance; this can be a simple ritual like getting together with a group of close friends once a week for dinner. These rituals are also a means through which the group can discern whether someone desiring to become a part of that group is appropriate. If a person desires to join this community, his individual Charism needs to be aligned to that of the group. Without that unity the person would not be able to survive the rigors and dynamics of that group. He would not be fed by the special Grace that comes to the group – not because it is denied him but because his spirit requires a form of sustenance that is simply not present in that community Grace.

Some people try to ignore this divine Grace and others are completely unaware of it, in themselves and in others. Failing to acknowledge or recognize your Charism, Vocation or Sacred Contract makes life more difficult and less fulfilling.

Vocations can be many things: They may be calls to do something (become self employed, leave or start a relationship, change careers, have a child) or calls to be something (more creative, less judgmental, more loving) Calls toward whatever we've dared ourselves to do for as long as we can remember…

Unfortunately, we often simply tune out the longings we feel, rather than confront and act on them. Perhaps we do not really forget our calls but we fear what they may demand of us in pursuing them. Anticipating the conniptions of change blocks us from acknowledging that we do know, and have always known what our calls are.

During my life and its many challenges I have learned one of the most spiritually productive truths that I now rely on every day. When you do not seek or need external approval, you are at your most powerful. Nobody can disempower you emotionally or psychologically. This spiritual security gave me a liberated feeling that has practically been a life saver at times. It made me appreciate why the famous words "To thine own self be true" in Shakespeare's Hamlet is considered a spiritual commandment.

Being born gay also teaches you this. You cannot live prolonged periods of time within the polarity of being true to yourself and needing the approval of others. At some point you will realize that you are doing harm to yourself by being what you think you should be so that someone approves of you. Compromising who you are to gain approval of another is a very precise example of giving away a piece of your spirit. Eventually you give away more and more of yourself until you have no strength or sense of Self left.

WooF...

Love...

They are wrong who say that love is blind. On the contrary, nothing, not even the smallest detail escapes the eyes. One sees everything in the loved one, notices everything, but melts into one flame with the great and simple "I love you"


Life...

We must always try to remember that where there is sadness there is also joy. Where there are tears there is laughter, and where there is
darkness - light. For always the scales of humanity will alternate between strength and weakness - pride and humility - the shallow and the deep. It is the balance of life.

WooF...

Content...

Never be content to live within the
confines of supposed limitations.
For always there must be space to look
ahead and aspire the greater heights,
to reach out - to change and to grow


Ignorance...

As we walk through life, we gather either fragments of knowledge or loads of ignorance. And when, ultimately, having lived under whichever influence, we acquit ourselves, by either not knowing or not caring.

WooF...

Success...

Success


To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of
intelligent people and
the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of
honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best of others;

To leave the world a little better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or
a redeamed social condition;

To know even one life
has breathed easier
because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded....


WooF...

Does it ever end?

Conflict is an unavoidable part of our lives because our beliefs and modes of being often contrast powerfully with those of our loved ones, acquaintances, and associates. Yet for all the grief disagreements can cause, we can learn much from them. The manner in which we handle ourselves when confronted with anger or argument demonstrates our overall level of patience and the quality of our energetic states. To resolve conflict, no matter how exasperating the disagreement at hand, we should approach our adversary with an open heart laden with compassion. Judgments and blame must be cast aside and replaced with mutual respect. Conflict is frequently motivated by unspoken needs that are masked by confrontational attitudes or aggressive behavior. When we come at conflict with love and acceptance in our hearts, we empower ourselves to discover a means to attaining collective resolution. The key to finding the wisdom concealed in conflict is to ask yourself why you clash with a particular person or situation. Your inner self or the universe may be trying to point you to a specific life lesson, so try to keep your ears and eyes open. Once you have explored the internal and external roots of your disagreement, make a conscious effort to release any anger or resentment you feel. As you do so, the energy between you and your adversary with change perceptibly, even if they are still operating from a more limited energy state. Consider that each of you likely has compelling reasons for thinking and feeling as you do, and accept that you have no power to change your adversary's mind. This can help you approach your disagreement rationally, with a steady voice and a willingness to compromise. If you listen thoughtfully and with an empathetic ear during conflict, you can transform clashes into opportunities to compromise. Examine your thoughts and feelings carefully. You may discover stubbornness within yourself that is causing resistance or that you are unwittingly feeding yourself negative messages about your adversary. As your part in disagreements becomes gradually more clear, each new conflict becomes another chance to further hone your empathy, compassion, and tolerance.

Why not now???

The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up all too quickly. How we utilize that time is consequently one of the most important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off until tomorrow what we are dreaming of today. The hectic pace of modern existence affords us an easy out; we shelve our aspirations so we can cope more effectively with the challenges of the present, ostensibly to have more time and leisure to realize our purpose in the future. Or we tell ourselves that we will chase our dreams someday once we have accomplished other lesser goals. In truth, it is our fear that keeps us from seeking fulfillment in the here and now—because we view failure as a possibility, our reasons for delaying our inevitable success seem sound and rational. If we ask ourselves what we are really waiting for, however, we discover that there is no truly compelling reason why we should put off the pursuit of the dreams that sustain us. When regarded as a question, "Why not now?" drains us of our power to realize our ambitions. We are so concerned with the notion that we are somehow undeserving of happiness that we cannot see that there is much we can do in the present to begin courting it. Yet when we look decisively at our existence and state, "Why not now, indeed!" we are empowered to begin changing our lives this very moment. We procrastinate for many reasons, from a perceived lack of time to a legitimate lack of self-belief, but the truth of the matter is that there is no time like the present and no time but the present. Whatever we aim to accomplish, we will achieve it more quickly and with a greater degree of efficiency when we seize the day and make the most of the resources we have at our disposal presently. All the joy, passion, and contentment you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in some far-flung point in time. You need only remind yourself that there is nothing standing between you and fulfillment. If you decide that today is the day you will take your destiny into your hands, you will soon discover that you hold the keys of fate.

The paradox of spirit

Each of us has a spiritual self that animates our bodies and infuses our thoughts and feelings. Our language is limited to the world we know for descriptions of something that perhaps cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind. Therefore, only metaphors approach the expressions that give us a true sense of our spiritual nature. The paradox lies in opposing concepts, all of which are true at the same time. And in harmonizing the opposites, we begin to know the wonders of the spirit. The self is not small or big but is both at the same time. Our spirit is like a drop in the ocean of spiritual energy. Although our spirit seems like a small, disconnected part of a larger whole, it is still made of the same things and can become part of the vast ocean once again. Our individual spirit seems to inhabit our bodies like a passenger in a vehicle but at the same time is not bound by our bodies. Spirits can reach across the miles to touch the heart of a loved one or expand to become one with the universe. We may feel small and perhaps insignificantly young when we look up at the stars, but we are made of the same basic elements. Perhaps looking at the stars is merely a reflection of what is going on within each atom and cell of our being. We are a universe within a universe. Our spirits are ever renewing, yet ageless and eternal. So the self is not new or old but both at once. So our spiritual self is not small or big, new or old. We may experience life as good and bad, right and wrong, happy and sad, but this is the experience of the material world of dualities, not the truth of our spritual nature. By going within to touch the eternal and changeless energy at our center, we can go beyond the contrasting metaphors to the experience of oneness. And in that connection we can know big and small, new and old, movement and stillness. By accepting the paradox of spirit, we open ourselves to the fullness of our own being.

Surrender...

We all know the feeling of being repeatedly haunted by the same issue, no matter how we try to ignore it, avoid it, or run away from it. Sometimes it seems that we can get rid of something we don't want by simply pushing it away. Most of the time, the more we push away, the more we get pushed back. There are laws of physics and metaphysics that explain this phenomenon, which is often summed up in this pithy phrase: That which you resist persists. Resistance tends to strengthen the energies it attempts to oppose by giving them power and energy to work against. Additionally, resistance keeps us from learning more about what we resist. In order to fully understand something, we must open to it enough to receive its energy; otherwise, we remain ignorant of its lessons. There is a Tibetan story of a monk who retreats to meditate in a cave only to be plagued by demons. He tries everything—chasing, fighting, hiding—to get the demons out of his cave, but the thing that finally works is surrender. He simply lets them have their way with him and only then do they disappear. Now, this wisdom must be applied practically. We are not meant to get ourselves physically injured. Instead, this story speaks of how, in essence, our demons are inside of us. What plagues and pursues us on an inner level has a way of manifesting itself in our environment in the form of people, events, and issues that appear to be beyond our control. But all these external expressions are reflections of our insides, and it is inside ourselves that we can safely experiment with surrendering to what we fear and dislike. It may feel scary, and we may find ourselves in the company of a lot of resistance as we begin the process of opening to what we fear. But the more we learn to surrender, and the more the demons that plague us disappear in the process, the more courageous we will become.

Expanding your comfort zone...

None of us are born with a guidebook that provides explicit rules for thought and behavior that will enable us to navigate life successfully. To cope with the myriad of complexities to which all of humanity is subject, we each develop a set of habits and routines that ground us, their continuity assuring us that life is progressing normally. Most of us know, whether instinctively or by experience, that transformations can be uncomfortable, but we always learn and gain so much. Any initial discomfort we experience when expanding our comfort zones diminishes gradually as we both become accustomed to change and begin to understand that temporary discomfort is a small price to pay for the evolution of our soul.

Your current comfort zone did, at one time, serve a purpose in your life. But it is representative of behaviors and patterns of thought that empowered you to cope with challenges of days past. Now, this comfort zone does little to facilitate the growth you wish to achieve in the present. Leaving your comfort zone behind through personal expansion of any kind can prepare you to take the larger leaps of faith that will, in time, help you refine your purpose. Work your way outward at your own pace, and try not to let your discomfort interfere with your resolve. With the passage of each well-earned triumph, you will have grown and your comfort zone will have expanded to accommodate this evolution.

Whether your comfort zone is living with your parents, or perhaps being too shy to socialize, or maybe it's not realizing your spirit self—whatever it is, start small, and you will discover that venturing beyond the limited comfort zone you now cling to is not as stressful an experience as you imagined it might be. And the joy you feel upon challenging yourself in this way will nearly always outweigh your discomfort. As you continue to expand your comfort zone to include new ideas, activities, goals, and experiences, you will see that you are capable of stimulating change and coping with the fresh challenges that accompany it.

Finding the place you belong...

There will likely be times in your life when your soul evolves more quickly than your circumstances. Your subconscious mind may be ready to move forward long before you recognize that you are destined to embrace a new way of life. Your soul intuitively understands that changing habitats can be a vital part of the growth process and that there may be one part of you that is eager to move to another home, another state, or another plane of existence. But the ties that bind you to your current mode of being can make moving into this next stage of your life more challenging than it has to be. If you find it difficult to move on, consider that just as people in your life may come and go, your role in others' lives may also be temporary. And many of the conditions that at first seemed favorable served you for a short time. When you are ready to match your situation to your soul, you will find that you feel a new sense of harmony and increasingly connected to the ebb and flow of th! e universe.

Moving on can be defined in numerous ways. Your forward momentum may take you from your current locale to a place you instinctively know will be more nurturing, comfortable, and spiritually enriching. Once you arrive, your misgivings will vanish, and you will know that you have found a sanctuary. Similarly, subtle changes in your values, goals, or emotional needs can motivate you to distance yourself from one group of people in order to reassociate yourself with individuals that are better able to support you. For example, this could mean moving away from your birth family in order to find your energetic or spiritual family. The route you need to travel may not always be clear; you may feel inspired to change yet be unsure as to why or how. Clarity may come in the form of a question if you are willing to seriously ask yourself where your soul is trying to take you.

In a way, moving from one point to another when you feel strongly driven to do so is a way of bringing your spiritual and earthly energies together. It is a two-step process that involves not only letting go but also reconnecting. You will know you have found your destination, physical or otherwise, when you feel in your heart that you have been reborn into a life that is just the right shape, size, and composition.

Peace of mind...

You may want to spend some time at home enjoying the serenity that surrounds you which could make it easier for you to relax and savor the tranquility that lies within today. Perhaps setting aside space that is calm and quiet in your home could be a way for you to imbue your everyday surroundings with a peacefulness that you can bring to every aspect of your day today. You might, for example, consider making a special place for meditation, putting cushions, incense and maybe even an altar in a corner of a room so that whenever you need a few moments of peace, you have a place you can always go to. The simple act of creating a meditation space, you may notice, can also make the intention to infuse your life with peace a much more real part of your life.

Having a place in our homes for quiet contemplation allows us to make space for stillness and respite in our everyday lives. When we have a place that is dedicated solely for the purpose of calming our minds, breathing deeply and becoming centered, we automatically respond to it with a feeling of relaxation. Just seeing it is often enough to make us feel much more content about our life and training ourselves to be in this space will in turn help us to extend this feeling to everything we do. By creating a place for reflection, you will give yourself the gift of tranquility and peace of mind today.

Finding Happiness

Our lives are rich with potential sources of happiness, but sometimes we become victims of negative thinking because we believe that focusing on all that has gone wrong will provide us with the motivation we need to face the challenges of survival. When we choose to focus on what makes us happy, however, a shift occurs in the fabric of our existence. Finding something to be happy about every single day can help this shift take place. The vantage points from which we view the world are brought into balance, and we can see that being alive truly is a gift to be savored. There is always something we can be happy about—it is simply up to us to identify it.

On one day, we may find happiness in a momentous, life-changing event. On another day, the happiness we experience may be a product of our appreciation of a particularly well-brewed cup of a tea or the way the sun shines on a leaf. If we discover that we literally cannot call to mind a single joyful element of existence, we should examine the cause of the blockage standing between us and experiencing happiness. Keeping a happiness journal is a wonderful way to catalog the happiness unfolding all around us so that joy has myriad opportunities to manifest itself in our lives. Writing about the emotions we experience while contemplating joy may give us insight into the factors compelling us to resist it.

Happiness may not always come easily into your life. You have likely been conditioned to believe that the proper response to unmet expectations is one of sadness, anger, guilt, or fear. To make joy a fixture in your existence, you must first accept that it is within your power to choose happiness over unhappiness every single day. Then, each time you discover some new source of happiness, the notion that the world is a happy place will find its way more deeply into your heart. On this day, find one thing to be happy about and let it fill your heart.

Deep down inside...

If humanity is to act to save itself from a future of extreme misery (if not extinction) every energy must be mobilized to overcome the lazy inertia which would merely have us rushing to catastrophe, instead of actually turning aside from our current path toward the edge of a cliff. We sense that only inner transformation on a massive level can enable our society to make the turn without skidding out of control! There is only one human psychic driver powerful enough, creative enough, and universal enough to bring about this mass transformation, and that is SEXUAL energy. As with any energy, it overflows into our ENTIRE spirit, thus it is no less spiritual than LOVE that you build in your heart. Ecstasy, peace and joy are either our BIRTHRIGHTS or they are delusional dreams. Our love for each other, expressed and amplified with intense sexual energy, will lead us to find a better relationship with our collective karma and become active contributors to its balance rather than continuing to be a destructive and disruptive force that has led humanity to the brink of disaster. By unleashing of the power of the POSITIVE human imagination while using focused sexual energy we can achieve the only way to initiate and maintain the kinds of cultural change we MUST undergo if we are to survive the next few generations. It behooves us to closely investigate, by means of both science, imagination, and sexual exploration, the various ways which have been evolved to tap the power of sexual energy in order to cause positive changes in our collective human psyche and circumstances. Come worship and serve my MASSIVE cock and through serving it, watch as your own cock grows in power and size... I can teach you how to grow your cock and raise your sexual energy and power to such an extent that your thoughts become your reality. There is nothing less spiritual or less holy of the energy coming from your cock or ass, than the energy that comes from your heart or mind. Energy is also neutral. It's how one uses it, for good or for evil, that gives it definition and character. Societies and religious definitions of sexuality and sexual energy is the greatest lie of the last 2,000 years and it was designed by greedy power hungry people to keep the masses from using it to empower themselves.

Same sex relationships

Same sex relationships are no more problematic but no easier than any other human relationships. They are in many ways the same and in several ways different from heterosexual relationships but in themselves are no less possible or worthwhile...



Gay relationships dont have the same support or structures around them to enforce them to be a certain way as heterosexual relationships do, so we make up our own stuff...

WooF...
