#I have faith and belief they can do that and that’s all that matters ❤️

[swordmaid]

continuing on that thought of harleep turning into shri’iia’s matriarch bc she can never have a break EVER! we need her having the worst time possible ever! that makes the whole seduction/non-con aspect of the encounter more plausible for shri’iia actually, since she has literally been conditioned to never refuse her matriarch that’s literally what her past oath was all about, and even if she is an oathbreaker now I don’t think she has moved on from her past so quickly and there is always a chance for her (esp in act 3) to regress and run back to her previous beliefs, and since her arc is all about challenging everything she believed in in the past which includes her blind faith and love to lolth, her belief that drows are meant to bend and kneel towards lolth bc she said so, her projection of lolth onto the matriarch and how that projection and devotion turned into something carnal, obsessive and deranged I think it would be fitting if that particular encounter with harleep turns into something more personal for her. and it addresses that particular relationship she had, and how she hasn’t moved on from it yet bc even if she knows that’s not her I don’t think she can refuse her…!!! and she does eventually but it takes a lot of her…!! because she actually fears the woman !! and her reaction to fear is the fawning type of response. and then you have the aftermath when the house of hope is all well and done and that cold realisation that she was actually scared of her, and it’s never been love, and she’s been mistaking dread and terror for love because that’s what you feel under lolth’s gaze and it’s only when she was left in the surface that she actually experienced genuine love, and actual friendship, and good emotions that she’s now able to discern the two from each other and she’s like hrk!!!! kneels over and vomits and has a panic attack bc that fear that she’s been harbouring is rushing out of her now!!!! shri’iia can’t have a good time ever!!!!! not yet!!!!

anyway it’s only in the end of the game that she actually stands firm in her new oath and her new belief bc I like having act 3 as like this crossroads moment for her arc and it’s a chance for her to fully move on or regress since act 2 was when she was just trying out the oathbreaker shtick.

What is “the state of wish fulfilled” or “feeling the wish fulfilled”?

(Explained in my own words cuz states tumblr is a shitshow)

When I was in HS, I was obsessed with Japan and wanted to visit, and eventually move there.

My dream life = living in Japan, doing the things I wanted to do

My life at the time = living in America, not being able to do the things I wanted to do

Was I sitting around feeling sorry for myself and whining “boo hoo poor me, I wish I was in Japan. Why did I have to be born here? It’s not fair I’m missing out on so much.” HELL NO!! That = the state of lack

Instead, I was excited. I didn’t see going to Japan as such a big deal, it’s not like I wanted to go to outer space! All I had to do was save up some money and buy a plane ticket. It was totally realistic in my mind, why couldn’t I do it?

Sure I wasn’t there now, but I KNEW I could go there eventually. So I spent my time studying & practicing Japanese, enjoying my hobbies from afar, researching & planning my future visits. That = the state of wish fulfilled.

(And yes, I did end up visiting many times and eventually lived there for 5 years.)

Here’s another scenario:

Imagine right now that you won the lottery for an extremely large amount of money - let’s say 1 billion dollars. You have the winning ticket in your hand and you’re at the lotto office right now. They tell you it’s gonna be a few weeks of processing and paperwork before you actually receive the money, but it is yours. It is done.

It doesn’t matter if you’re currently broke, in debt, hate your job, hate your living situation or have any other unfortunate circumstances. In a few weeks, you will have more money than you will ever be able to spend. You will never have to work again. You will never have to worry about money again.

You might not currently know what it “feels like” to be a billionaire, but you know that your current circumstances don’t matter anymore because everything is gonna change soon.

Now, if you are reading this, you have learned about loa/void/shifting - and that is even better than any lottery you could ever win. You found out the truth, my dudes! Reality is an illusion and you can have anything you want. ANYTHING anything, not just materialistic earth things!

Yes we have been programmed with opposite beliefs our whole lives. It might be hard to wrap your head around at first. It might be hard to let go of all the victim-based thinking that society encourages. It might take a week or a month or longer to manifest your desires - but does it matter? Time is an illusion, and you WILL succeed eventually. You didn’t find out about the truth only to fail.

Sitting around on tumblr scrolling for more methods, asking every blogger the same questions, complaining that you don’t have your desires yet = the state of lack

Knowing that you WILL have your desires NO MATTER WHAT and not letting your current circumstances affect you = the state of wish fulfilled.

Have patience and persist! I have faith in you, so have a little faith in yourselves! ILY all and want you to live your best life ❤️

Your favourite thing about how you've characterised Ondolomar :3

Ouuuuuu this is an excellent question. I think my favourite thing about how I’ve characterized the reason I’ve given him for enlisting in the Thalmor. To explain I’ll post a snippet from a fic that deal with this directly, following is from Chapter 3 of If I came dying at your door:

“I’ve told you about my father, how I am not fond of him.” She nods. “It is a bit deeper than that. You know my people pride themselves on their racial superiority, good breeding of the utmost importance. I come from a good family, my parents, grandparents, etc. All predominantly come from good households, high status, on paper we are the ideal Dominion citizens.” She looks at him intently, noticing how since he’s brought up his father he looks away from her, staring off into a corner. “There are more than just physical failings, having a good lineage isn’t enough to make you perfect, you must refrain from any moral failings. Failings of character.” He continues. “My father committed many moral failings. He was a drunk, cheated frequently on my mother, with women who were as awful as he was. He got into public brawls, multiple arrests, would have been deplorable to any society but especially to one as strict as mine.” She puts a hand on his shoulder, a light grip to comfort him. “And that had an effect on how my mother, sister and I were viewed growing up. Particularly as his son I was seen as a failure waiting to happen. Only a matter of time and would I turn out like him. I kept my head down, eventually leaving Sunhold to study Dwemer history in Alinor. I had not made it a year before I enlisted. They sell a grand story. Promises of improving your station, your respectability. Bringing glory to the Third Altmeri Dominion is the greatest thing you can do for your family.” There’s a deep tired sigh, one that has been held for far longer that she could ever know. “And they were right, life did get better. My mother had more respect and was viewed favorably for having her son join; my sister was able to move up socially, allowing her to eventually marry someone she loved very dearly. And once my father finally passed due to the toll the drinking took on him, life got even better. I had brought pride to our family name. All I had to do was believe them and I did, I did for a very long time. So very dedicated to the cause.”

And within this cracks in his belief in their cause begin to occur, and growing to love Theodora is the last straw for him to lose complete faith ❤️

What Can I say...

It's been a crazy, wild ride of a year. We've got soooo much to be grateful for this year. We have proof that we are made of harder stuff than we give ourselves credit for and made it through a lot of drama and uncalled for hate thrown at us all for being smart and knowing true soulmates when we see them. We've made a lot of friends, and we are blessed. I'm thankful for all the friends I've found. 💕🥰

We got to see not only one beautiful beyond belief love story play out in front of us (on our screens) but two of them and they are part of our world. They actually exist for real. How lucky to be living now to witness this. Nothing beats friends to lovers. We love them both. We love Nicola and Luke so much and we are so lucky they are who they are. That they are such amazing and wonderful human beings. We looked out on getting them as our beloved Polin. But so did they. They are blessed the most, because they got something that matters more than anything else. ❤️🥰

I am proud of those of us that can see that, and we get it. We understand what true love looks like. We are appreciating the example of it for those who haven't found it themselves yet. Those of us who are blessed with it as well are reminded of just how great a gift it is to have. We want to thank them. Those of us who truly get it and understand them. I wish more did. Because doing the things the other side does just to win a non-existent ship war is utterly shameful and so horrible. People need to look within and self-reflect on that behavior in an honest way. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Do better and become better people. That is my wish for the other side. Then maybe you will be able to open your eyes and see the god honest truth of your behavior. That it is not right. It is appalling and some things are downright illegal. No one will ever see a true Lukola stalking our dear pair like they are a hunter hunting prey like some on the other side do. Who even thinks to even fantasize about doing that kind of stuff or think it's even remotely okay to do? 😡🤬 It truly makes me weep for humanity. 😭

Anyways... The most in tune of us, Lukolas, we don't pay attention to everyone, their mother and the kitchen sink, but for the two that matter in all this. We only wait patiently and love and appreciate them and we know their voices and words and listen to them, fore they are the only ones that matter in THEIR narrative. Of course, I know some have a hard time having faith due to not paying attention to what really matters in all this. So, I wish for the New Year everyone who is having trouble with this, will be able to find some peace within themselves and have the strength and fortitude to block out those that don't matter and start to look to the right people for the answers. Luke and Nicola. ❤️🥰

I am so very excited for what 2025 is going to bring us. I know it will be awesome! I have a good feeling about it. That good feeling has only been building over time. I don't know when we will be getting what we're waiting for, but I know that they are in love, happy, together and thriving and that is all that really matters, truly. I wish Luke and Nicola all the love, happiness and blessings in the New Year. They deserve all the greatest things life can bring them. I just know they will always have each other through it all. Soulmates are like that. I also know that what their future holds is SO amazing. Here I am waiting patiently to be let in on their joyful news, because I truly want them to be ready and want it to be on their terms. I just wish them a happy New Years where they are right now. ❤️🥰

I wish everyone that had a part in making Bridgerton season 3 a happy New Year. For making this season such an epic, fun and wonderful watch. ❤️💋

I hope all my fellow Lukolas/Polinators will have a blessed New Years too. Keep safe and party responsibly. Don't drink and drive. Love ya! 2025 here we come!!! 💕🎉

When Life Gets Tough💪🌟

At some point in life, we all face moments when everything seems to be going wrong. The weight of our challenges can feel suffocating 😔, and it's easy to look at others with envy, wishing for their seemingly perfect lives. However, it's important to remember that everyone encounters difficulties. No struggle is inherently bigger or smaller than another; it's all about perspective 🌈.

We often hear advice like "learn from your mistakes" or "be strong," but rarely is the question addressed: How exactly do we become strong? 🤔 It's not enough to simply go with the flow and hope for the best.

For me, the key to strength lies in trusting yourself and those close to you ❤️. In a world where everything around us can change, our family and close friends remain constant. They are the ones who know us best and offer a solid foundation when everything else feels uncertain.

Facing difficulties with trust and faith - both in yourself and in your support system - can turn these challenges into opportunities for growth 🌟. By viewing obstacles as challenges to be overcome rather than overwhelming problems, we can find the strength within us to push through.

It's normal to feel alone. It's normal to think you can't get through it. You might be wondering, "What does she know about my struggles?" But the truth is, I can relate because I’ve faced my own share of challenges. There have been many times when I felt weak and considered giving up.

Life can be incredibly tough. Sometimes, it feels like no matter what you do, nothing goes right 😔. During these moments, everything can seem overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. But what keeps me going is the trust others have in me ❤️. Seeing that I am important to someone reassures me that I must be doing something right. This belief helps me regain my motivation and reminds me of my value.

Being in this situation means you have already overcome so many difficulties. Each challenge you've faced and conquered has made you stronger, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. The fact that you are here today shows how resilient you are. Every step you’ve taken, every challenge you’ve faced, and every obstacle you’ve overcome has brought you to this point 🛤️.

Ask yourself, "Will I be able to survive this? Will my life get better?" The answer is within you. Think back to the times you’ve triumphed over adversity 💪. Remember the moments when you overcame challenges, smiled, and felt proud of yourself 😊. These moments are proof of your strength and determination. They show that no matter how difficult things seem, you have the ability to persevere.

We often compare our lives to others, thinking they have it easier or better. But the truth is, everyone has their own battles ⚔️. What matters is how we face our own. You’ve made it this far because of your hard work, confidence, and strength 💼. You are a living example of resilience and perseverance.

It's easy to feel isolated when you're struggling, but you are not alone. There are people who care about you, who see your value, and who believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. Lean on them when you need to 🤗. Trust in the support system you have, and remember that it's okay to ask for help.

So, when life gets tough, remind yourself of your past victories and the strength that lies within you. Use those memories as a foundation to build upon 🏗️. Embrace your journey, with all its ups and downs, and know that every step forward is a testament to your courage and tenacity 🏅.

Always remember: You are not alone. 🤗

I will keep sharing my experiences and hope you relate with them and find strength.

TULIP understanding reformed faith

💔DID YOU JUST LOSE YOUR SALVATION?💔. ❤️ IT ISNT YOURS TO KEEP!❤️.

❤️🙌🙇‍♀️🙏. Many professing Christians will post scripture out of context to ignorantly support a prideful view of keeping their own salvation. They will think they have saved themselves (Armenians) and they keep themselves. This is just not true.

❤️🙌🙏🙇‍♀️. This is the second post in a series defending unconditional election and perseverance of the saints..

💯 Sadly many professing Christians will use Matthew 7:21-23 to establish a works based salvation

✨ Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.

💯 Little do these people know that their own scripture refutes their claims.

💯If we look at this verse and read it carefully it clearly states that Jesus is referring to people he NEVER knew. As well. I see many that are in works based salvation claiming the gifts and this verse is aimed at a specific set of people. Namely people that seek after the gifts, signs and wonders over a true relationship with Jesus.

❤️🙏🙌🙇‍♀️. What is the will of the Father after all? If we let scripture interpret scripture we can find out.

✨James 4:7-10 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

✨Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

✨Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

👆👆👆👆. These verses tell us clearly that the will of God is a humble repentance. A genuine belief in Jesus!

❤️🙏🙌🙇‍♀️. But there is more to this passage that is completely ignored in the next verses by those that claim they can lose salvation. Let's take a look

✨ Matthew 7:24-26 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

💯. This passage clearly states that our foundation in the belief in the Rock of salvation is what will keep us. And beautifully we can look to other scriptures that tell us whom the rock is. I would also note that when scripture uses the word "who" and not "that' it signifies a lack of works but is a foundation of true belief. Unconditional election

✨psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

✨1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.

💯 Again a genuine saving belief in Jesus.

❤️🙏🙌🙇‍♀️. But who does the works of sanctification and why does that matter? Well ofcourse it is all him! The Lord! And so if it the Lord who saves us and sanctifies us what BOASTING do we have?! Absolutely none. Let's see the scripture here:

✨1 thesselonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

✨John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

✨Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

✨1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

❤️🙏🙌🙇‍♀️. In conclusion to this post if we are looking at boasting we are on dangerous ground! The only one allowed to boast is Jesus himself. We are children born of sin! We cannot be divorced from it. We boast in our weaknesses because Jesus does his best work through them. We have unmerited Grace not as a lisence to sin but to be set free from it! We are grateful to be free of sin as we recognize it is bondage. A grateful heart to see what THE LORD has done. Pride shall not avail against the kingdom of heaven. Nor in God's children. Let us always remain humble for salvation and cleansing ❤️❤️🙏🙏

1. You try to be your dearest friend in times of distress and because of that you often know just the right things to say to someone else going through the same. You often believe you can overcome situations by yourself, that you'd some day achieve all the riches and luxury that you desire.

Wearing certain types of clothes help you embody that state a lot better.

Your dominant thoughts and often what you say create your reality or you manifest easily with the same.

You may however have a belief you are restricted by authority or a similar figure in your life.

Your mindset towards yourself is that hard work, gratitude and grace will get you your desires, whatever they may be. If you're a religious or spiritual person you have full faith that you'll be on the right track no matter what.

You may beat yourself down a bit when you feel you aren't working hard enough or procrastinating but please allow yourself the luxury of rest. Your inner dialogue aid you the most even if you hit a slump. Overall, your self concept is that you believe you're a dedicated, compassionate, witty and even a stylish individual worthy of success and honest connections through God/faith/universe.

2. You tend to be a little hard in yourself. Perhaps growing up you've seen a lot of sorrow, disruption and heartbreak. Oftentimes you feel you're a magnet for this and that bad things always happen to you and its just what it is. You may assume that compared to others you have to put twice the efforts. However, I do see that with the right company and influence you soon see the silver lining in things.

Some of you either tend to be extremely pessimistic at times or used to be that way till you realized that oftentimes when there's a loss or you hit rock bottom something promising ends up happening or you end up with something better.

You maybe a little superstitious or are very intuitive. Some of you actively ignore your intuition and choose self destructive behaviours.

You need to be open to receiving the good that you ask for too and practice healthy boundaries with yourself and others.

Overall, your experiences might have been harsh and have shaped your self concept but it doesn't take away your desires from you at all. I would encourage a little more tenderness in your self talk and a little more empathy towards those who mean well to you. One day the silver linings you look for in your circumstances will be a stellar gold when you least expect it.

3. You have a strong set of morals and a stronger sense of judgement. You may not realize this, but your sense of knowing and insight is top notch. Even when you can't see something in your reality yet, you know it exists, it often ends up being right.

You may however suffer from anxiety, extremes in thoughts and emotions as well. But even in the most dire of circumstances you can turn your situation around.

Your feelings, imagination, means of expression (writing, drawing etc) often aid your manifestions.

Some of you are either well aware of your power to choose your desired reality or outcome or you aren't too sure but it ends up happening eitherway.

I would say you indeed have a belief that you're regal, you're powerful and the only thing that can stand in your way is you. Things have a strange way of working in your favour. Your aura can intimidate some but can really draw in others.

Overall, your self concept is that you're magnetic, alluring, charming, intense and can sincerely split the world in half to get what you want. Be easy on yourself and your body in the process. Please.

[queerprayers]

hi johanna❤️

can i ask you what is it that draws you to God? when i think of what i miss about being in a religious community, i think exactly of that: community, sharing, the comfort of having rituals (in my case, going to Mass every sunday), maybe the idea of death not really being scary too. but i never felt really strongly about God, and i can’t imagine living in a toxic or bigoted religious community (not saying it’s your experience! but i follow many people here on tumblr with that kind of baggage) and still thinking it’s so worth it to be part of that religion because you love God. that means having a really big love for Him and i’d love to understand this love because it sounds beautiful. what is it in your opinion/experience that draws people to God so strongly? is it something you simply feel in your heart? and where can i buy it jshajdhaa😭

This is such a fascinating question, beloved. I feel you. Here are some thoughts.

Community and rituals are so important, and I firmly believe everyone should have a way to access those, regardless of their religious faith or lack of it. Secular/interfaith communal support is essential to a healthy society, and rituals bring a rhythm to life that in a lot of ways capitalism has taken from us.

I am continually amazed at the strength it takes to push through bigotry and baggage to access religion for so many people, and sometimes I wonder if it's worth it myself. I think that's a personal judgment, and everyone has to make their decisions and sacrifices on their own—choosing how open to be about their identity, what diversities of opinion are welcome and manageable and which are harmful, how much they're willing to sacrifice to be part of a community that won't always agree and will never be perfect. I regularly see and enjoy being with homophobic family members, and I sacrifice some comfort and confidence to do so, because I've decided it's worth it. For many people it's not. I participate in organized religion even while disagreeing with and hating some parts of it. Many people abandon it for those reasons. It's up to us, and we have to let other people make decisions we could never make.

Everyone is drawn to God for such different reasons, but I think it often stems from the acceptance of our lack of knowledge and understanding, and our yearning for meaning and love. I've heard nonreligious people say things like "You only believe in God because you're trying to find meaning in a cruel universe" and like… maybe? Yeah, sometimes, actually. And? Is there something wrong with that? Are you enjoying your lack of meaning? I don't think that's all belief is, of course, but there's truth there.

I firmly believe every single person is drawn to God—it's just in such diverse ways and forms that most people don't recognize it. My grandfather talks about becoming an expert on one of the first electron microscopes in the US the same way he talks about faith—ritual, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, love for the universe. My mother practices the violin the same way she prays—daily, sometimes begrudgingly, sometimes distracted, always beautifully. My childhood best friend studies linguistics the same way I study the Bible—with awe and passion and so many blind spots that we'll never fill in. The ways we reach God are our own, but they all lead to the same place if we begin with love.

It's something we feel, but also what we think and do and gravitate toward and love. It always comes back to love, the greatest of these.

I don't know if you can understand my love for God, mostly because I don't either. It's not something you can learn, or buy, or force. It's inside you already—you were born with love. What you can be taught, learn, and get better at is the practice of love, recognizing how you are drawn to God, and how to unite those things.

Where do your passions lie? What things about the world matter to you? What do you enjoy learning about? How do you support those around you? What sacrifices do you make to live in community with others? What rituals bring rhythm to your life? Spend your life answering those, and you will have been drawn to God without even realizing it.

You're allowed to go to Mass even when you don't believe in the words or don't stay after to talk with people. You're allowed to miss something you'll never go back to. You're allowed to join in parts of religion but not others. You're allowed to believe some days and not others. You're allowed to not label yourself and never commit to any one system. You're allowed to worship God one day and hate Them the next. You're allowed to value the ritual of grocery shopping as much as the ritual of Communion.

Here's your permission, if you need it: go be a person. You'll never figure it all out. You won't find what I have—it's unique to me, for better and worse. But you'll find what you have.

God is with you already. You don't have to go anywhere or do anything. You may have to work to recognize and welcome Them, but They're already there.

<3 Johanna

Hi, I have this one limiting belief that'sbeen troubling me. The limting belief is that I juat don't have the ability to manifest. I know, I know it's very dumb. But for whatever reason I just can't shake it. Do you have any tips?

Also people are always saying to just believe in your manifestations and know that it's true. But how do you make yourself believe something as being true?

Hi love💗 First of all, having doubts is completely natural and not dumb. You make yourself believe that something is true by seeing it with your eyes, there are many success stories and I don't think thousands of people would collectively be lying about this lol. This law is very very real (believe me please this once, I was the same as you at the start but things changed so drastically when I started acknowledging the God in me) so why don't you try conciously manifesting something random just to cultivate your faith, like seeing a particular type of bird, receiving compliments on your outfit, seeing a pink butterfly, a cookie etc. (you can use methods like visualization or you can just know that it will show up, in my opinion the knowing state has a peculiar warmth and reassurance which feels good). This is a law and not just some random thought that Neville had, the law must be abided no matter what, if you're not manifesting conciously, then the law is being abided unconsciously. We have infinite potential waiting to be used we just refuse to acknowledge.

Keep working on yourself and slowly you will start to realise your powers and that you are the one who creates your reality through your mind.

Your subconscious can be commanded and controlled, think of it as a wish granting factory and that it is basically you working in your favor. You've been manifesting all your life, but your subconscious has been doing things randomly according to your past assumptions now that you are conciously manifesting your logical brain cannot comprehend that you can do whatever you wantt because your past assumptions are stubborn to leave. (But you have to be more stubborn and persistent in your new story okay? ).

All our life we have been taught that if we don't get what we desire then something better is waiting but that is not true at all.

"I want it, I got it." Should be a motto of this community lolol.

You have to let go of your old assumptions about yourself and everything to be better at manifesting.

Your conception of yourself is extremely important if you want to manifest good things, if you think that you can never manifest anything good then that will happen, that is why knowing that you're worthy of your desires is important and that they are not unattainable, nothing in this world is unreachable, you want flying cars, you'll have it, you want to look like Rihanna, you're absolutely can look like her, you want to date a celebrity seemingly out of reach? Guess what? you can totally date them, make them madly in love with you, all with your mind. Your mind does things for you what you think is true.

Knowing and realizing your power is important and you are not different than any of us here manifesting, you have equal amount of power, you can have anything you want. Keep working on your self concept and know that these limiting beliefs do not affect you at all. You can do it! You can get your dream life and everything!! I'm eagerly waiting for your success stories. 😼❤️

Hope this helped!

[perpetual-help]

Okay. Firstly hi, I hope you are doing good.

Secondly, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask. Feel free to ignore.

But how do you find out, if Christianity is right for you? I'm in a very interesting predicament. Because I am a spiritual person. And I hold old, nature-bound beliefs about spirits and energy and stuff. But I am also confronted with Christianity daily and I feel like Christianity could be the right way for me.

For a big part of my youth, I've been an omnist (believing all religions and spiritual beliefs hold a kernel of truth). I was raised protestant but I know that that doesn't call to me like catholicism does. And I'm really confused.

I don't know how to reconcile these beliefs I have very openly held and practised for almost a decade now with the fact that catholicism is so intriguing to me and seems to speak to me.

How do I know if I can be truthful to Christianity when I can't shake years and years of believing in and praying to nature spirits?

Hello! You and I have similar backgrounds. I practiced witchcraft and shared many of the views you listed.

To answer you simply, Christianity is right for everyone, because it is the Truth. There is no exception to this, and it isn’t a matter of “does it fit me or not.”

Matthew 13: 44-46

“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”

Your question reminded me of this verse. We have been given the greatest gift by a God who is Infinitely loving and merciful - an invitation to share an eternity of Joy with Him as His adopted children, which He has given this to us despite our unfaithfulness. Not only this, He has shown us His great love on the cross. During His passion and death, Our Lord was faced with every soul who would ever exist, their sins, their choices to either love him or hate him - He came face to face with all of this, with the overwhelming number of people who would choose to hate Him and sin against Him, and He still chose to sacrifice Himself for us. You won’t find that kind of Love or Faithfulness anywhere else. Even in the depths of our sins, God loves us and calls out to us daily. His desire is to raise us out of the mud, and draw us closer to His heart, where we can enjoy what we were made for all along - and reflect that love and joy to those around us.

I reconciled the drastic change in beliefs by understanding that God is Truth. I trust Him more than I trust the inconsistencies in my half-formed beliefs when I was a witch. I have experienced firsthand the peace that comes from resting in God, and I would rather die than return to the miserable state I was once in. Since you have experienced a call to explore Catholicism, I would like to encourage you to act on this. There are so many resources you can find online/YouTube/books/etc - if you have a question, there’s definitely an answer somewhere out there. But, also, if you find the time, go to Mass. You don’t have to be Catholic to attend Mass. You wont be able to receive The Eucharist, but you can still be a witness to the Miracle that takes place on the altar. It’s a life-changing experience. :)

Whatever you decide to do, I’ll be praying for you, Anon. My messages are always open, in case you have further comments / just want to talk. God bless you. ❤️

Hi :D

so I've decided that till the end of June, I'm gonna be having everything that I want. And by everything i mean EVERYTHING. So I've decided to just embody the person that i wanna be for instance who has good grades, topper of the class, buying a house, goddess like beauty etc but i don't know where to start 😌. Can you please like give me some instructions? thank youuu and have beautiful day ❤️

Hi Anon 😊 - Long response ahead ⚠️

First of all love that energy, don’t let anything stop you from being who you want to be and from getting the things you want. The following will be my opinion of course, feel free to get a second opinion from others if you don’t feel like I answered your question 💞. Also I don’t like the word instructions, I’ll give you some suggestions 😅instructions makes it sound like I’m bossing you around and you have to listen to everything I’m saying. I’m just here to help out not to boss anyone around lol I know you probably didn’t say instructions with that intent but I just like to clarify 💞.

First things first I highly suggest you take a look at my pinned post. I could suggest a number of things to you, methods to use, etc but it all starts with you hun. Your beliefs + self concept + faith. You have to believe and have faith in yourself that you can have all you want by your appointment time. Your are the only God of your reality

Once you set your intention (eg: by June I AM going to have I every wanted) and have faith and believe that it will come into fruition. You may or may not choose to use a method (eg, subliminals, visualization, etc) remember methods don’t necessarily matter because methods only work due to the amount of power you give (that is to say for example if you believe that using subliminals work they will work for you if not they won’t work - the power is within you not outside of you). Methods are just there to aid us with manifesting.

Next would be to ‘feel’ like you have the thing(s) it is that you. This what Neville will call the feeling of the Wish fulfilled. When I say feel here it doesn’t necessarily means that your happy or excited 24/7 - we are humans after all we experience multiple emotions each and every day. It means that your content/ you’re in a state of knowing that your desires is already. Try to remain in that state as much as possible (eg: I spoke about how I desire to live in another country so daily I’d say to myself - out lol or internally- I am now living in my desired country legally or I am in desired county right now).

Let’s use one of your desires (the house). Example (I am now a home owner) - just state your intention and believe it. Believe and have faith that it’s already here. Live like you’re now a home own. Imagine having the keys to your new home, imagine what it would be like walking through the doors of your new home, imagine how excited you feel now that you have your home, etc. ignore the 3D the law of assumption is basically assuming that you have whatever it is right now even though your sense deny it. BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT AND IT WILL COME!

Neville will tell you it’s best to fall asleep to that assumption (go to sleep with that feeling on your mind). You may create a scene in your imagination to help with this (eg: you’d imagine yourself right as your about to drift off to sleep holding your new house keys and you’ll see your close friends/family/etc congratulating you on your new home) This is basically you just assuming and persisting your results will come to you.

Again this is all my opinion I hope it helps. Please do your own research and mostly importantly do what you’re comfortable with. If you’re not sure what to do, experiment until you find something you’re comfortable with doing. Manifesting should be fun and easy not difficult. See this post here for some tough love motivation if needed. All the best with your journey hun and I have complete faith in you and I believe in you, I know you can do it! 💗💗💗You are God! Have a wonderful day too and you’re so welcome, really hope this helps you and maybe others who have a similar question(s). Sending love and positivity ❤️❤️

I'm really annoyed. I'm sorry Hawa. But what exactly is this "knowing" I really can't believe in the unseen. I can't get myself to believe that something great will happen to me. I'm so sick of this.

If I know I will score good marks in a test, but in reality I don't know anything in it, how can I bring myself to "know" that I scored well?

And yeah "time" Doesn't exist. But how can I stay patient waiting for my 3D to confirm if the harm is already done?

the knowing is knowing that your desires are going to manifest no matter what happens, and i think self concept is something you should prioritize as a means to create a better relationship w/ yourself in regards to you manifestations, because my love YOU DO deserve love & happiness & for something wonderful to happen to you, at least for me I didn't believe I was worthy & deserving which created that sense of believing something wonderful wouldn't happen to me! to know comes with faith, faith (and literally this is something i got from Jane the Virgin) is the banishment of all doubt, despite what doubts you may be having despite what you may not see in front of you HAVE FAITH, know that everything is going to be alright, reassure yourself, talk to yourself, be gentle & kind to yourself, and understand that no matter what the situation is wether that be passing a test living by that filth that you will have it or that you already do, is enough!

i don't understand what you mean by "harm" do you mean doubts? well if intrusive thoughts or doubts are what you are worried about understand they don't matter & don't have power over you in any way, when it comes to manifesting you need to understand no harm can be done to your manifestations unless you let that be so. And you don't have to ignore the 3d just know it's going to change no matter what and know that it's inevitable that the 3d is going to change for you, because it has to, because you said it's going to, back to what I said in my last paragraph have faith & trust in yourself, when it comes to manifesting everything comes back to your conception of yourself, so belief in yourself & trust in yourself that you will give yourself your manifestations no matter what is very important ❤️

I am not a mormon, i’m not even American, but couple years ago two mormon girls who were on mission to spread their faith in my country (eastern Europe) have approached me. I talked to them for weeks, debating the basis of mormon faith and to this day it astounds me, how deeply they believed in it. I don’t want to insult anybody, but to the outsider (although i was raised catholic, and religious zealots are very much present in my country) mormon faith is very much cultish to unnerving level. Whole origin story of it and rules which govern mormons are kinda ridiculous to me (although i can understand that catholics with our saints and transubstantiation can be ridiculous to others as well). However despite the fact that Mormonism is based on christian doctrine, it’s still so alien at the same time, much more then some fractions of protestantism, or judaism and even Islam to the degree. But i was very glad to get to know those girls and see this religion through the eyes of the followers, not wikipedia page. The show is very interesting to me, and having read about this horrifying crime before, i think up till now, it does a good job of respecting the victims of it. I’m certainly gonna keep watching

For someone looking in, with no knowledge of it at all, I can only imagine how Mormonism might seem.

Don’t get me wrong, there were some genuinely good people I met during my time in the church, and I’m sure there are plenty of other members who are lovely individuals—like the two missionary’s you met—in wards all around the planet. But their beliefs just didn’t set right with who I am and my own beliefs. I was chastised for having my ears pierced more than once, for Christ sake. But what really bothered me was the sexism they preached about women’s purpose being obedient wives to their husband, popping out 5 to 6 kids while the husband worked and gathered ranks in the church.

I didn’t even belong to an “extreme” ward, but I also live in a highly conservative area of the United States so my liberal beliefs to begin with are frowned upon, not just in the LDS faith.

Church can be a wonderful thing for people—no matter the religion— so long as it brings you peace and actively helps others. But it can also be a hindrance. If your guidelines or beliefs are so stringent or backward that your faith brings you to only help those of a certain race, or creed, or orientation then there is something wrong at the core of your faith, and I feel like the LDS church tends to be the latter more often then not.

Mormonism was not a good fit for me, I don’t share the beliefs and I do think it’s borderline cultish in certain ways. I’m happier without it.

Thank you for sharing this with me. ❤️

I have a few friends who were raised in the catholic faith and have said similar things that you touched on. I think, to a degree, organized religion can tread into cult like behaviors if it’s not careful, not just Mormonism. I can’t wait for more episodes of this show; I’m actively keeping myself from googling the real case so I can be surprised as the story unfolds.

31, 49, 70, 72 for Xiomara!! 🥰🥰🥰

These were a lot of fun to think through!! Tysm for asking ❤️

Like before, I'm putting all the answers to the questions under the cut :)

31. How patient is your character with others? Do they find it easy to handle people that try and bug them, or hard?

49. Do they have any religious/spiritual beliefs? What are they? How did they come to believe in them?

70. When it comes to clothing, what’s their style? Do they prefer natural or formal? Skinny or baggy clothes?

72. Do they like to read? If so, what’s their favourite genre? Favourite author? Favourite book?

31. How patient is your character with others? Do they find it easy to handle people that try and bug them, or hard?

Haha, this one is relative. Xiomara charges into life and expects people around her to keep up if they want a good view. She also likes solving problems. You know Cassandra’s DAI quote, “I see what needs to be done and I do it. I see no point in running around like a dog chasing its tail”? That’s Xiomara. But from a leadership perspective, she knows she cannot afford to run off as she pleases – she’s responsible for her crew. If she wants her people at her best, she needs patience to meet each of them where they’re at and guide them to where she needs them to be, but that part of command is hard for her. There is a lot of "tough love" involved in her leadership style. Kaidan is a good counter-balance to her and provides the softer care the crew needs.

As for people trying to bug her, she brushes off regular bullies with minimal engagement. Insults are inconsequential to her. It’s harder for her to tolerate someone who tries to patronize her and/or control how she does her job. So… yeah, her relationship with the Council starts off dicey, plummets when they continue to disregard her warnings even after she “saved their bureaucratic asses,” and then gets somewhat mended when the war leaves no choice but to work together. She also butts heads with The Illusive Man consistently (treating people like they’re disposable + micromanaging + condescension = she wants to rip his head off). It’s fun to watch her tell those people off because she gets so petty.

49. Do they have any religious/spiritual beliefs? What are they? How did they come to believe in them?

She’s not very spiritual or religious. I could say it’s because of her tough upbringing and all, and she can be cynical sometimes, but her temperament just happens to be pretty grounded in tangible reality. To her, seeing is believing. She has a strong intuition about some things, like people’s motivations, but lacks the kind of deeper, intrinsic sense of connectedness to a universal greater force. She’s not sure if there’s some piece missing in her, or if other people simply find comfort relying on the kind of blind faith that she can’t bring herself to trust. Religious doctrines and beliefs can be intriguing to her, though; she’s as willing to entertain debates and conversation about that as she is about anything else, as long as it is civil and based on concrete examples. After getting the visions from the Prothean beacon, wrapping her head around the magnitude of the Reaper problem overwhelms and humbles her, so I’d label her as agnostic from ME1 onward.

70. When it comes to clothing, what’s their style? Do they prefer natural or formal? Skinny or baggy clothes?

I don’t know a lot of fashion lingo, but after a deep-dive into Pinterest, I think I can best describe her style as “athleisure meets grunge meets baddie!” Xo favors practicality and comfort, but always with some kind of twist inspired by street styles (plus a touch of Chicana vibes), and ranging from femme to androgynous: a mix-and-match of jeans, joggers, tank tops, bralettes, hoodies, edgy jackets, sneakers or combat boots, and statement jewelry. It’s less a matter of looking “natural” versus “effortful” and more about somehow looking hot and tough at the same time. This applies to both casual and formal – she will rock the occasional suit, though it will be loose, easy to move in, and fairly bold in design. Her wardrobe palette has a lot of black, gray, and red, plus gold accessories. She loves piercings and hoops, but since her combat style is close-range (and she’s not a fan of getting earrings ripped off by force), she only wears them off-duty and enjoys them a lot in those cases.

72. Do they like to read? If so, what’s their favourite genre? Favourite author? Favourite book?

She used to be one of those people that snickered at the concept of reading (mainly because she struggled in school and was a proud little shit about it), though she always low-key found adventure and thriller books interesting when she had to read for classes. She just has a limited attention span for things that require sitting still and spending long periods of time in abstraction – she likes what she can see and feel firsthand, and argues you can learn most of what you need from real life, by interacting with people or paying attention to what’s happening around you. As she matures and advances in her military career, she has no choice but to learn to tolerate some reading (reports, news, databases); this acts as a gateway for her to become interested in other stuff, like memoirs and accounts of galactic events. When she discovers that Kaidan likes comic books and fantasy novels, she gives them a try and ends up loving the ones with pictures. He nerds out about the fictional heroes’ tech gadgets and feats of bravery; she comments on their cool moves and ridiculous strategies.

if you are iconless and dont rlly have a 'set fc' for thor… why even use a fc at all like… im not trying to be rude but? that sounds so lazy to me tbh. im turkish and tbh when your followers said "being turkish and muslim doesnt erase if someone uses them as a fc for a norse myth god" but like it does? thats a whole different culture and religion and beliefs in it all. and i know your followers are gonna react to this and start saying a bunch of things but ultimately youre all speaking over asian muslims. turks (esp turkey) have been erased of off being asians and 'not true muslims' for aaaages and tbh its very ignorant and racist because our feelings also matter and the fact that none of you take it seriously is very concerning.

im not trying to start anything and just stating my opinion and you can take this into consideration and idk, post so they see it but it really hurts my feelings to know that people dont actually care about turkish peoples feelings when its about them in this whole thing.

i hope you have a wonderful day banana! and sorry if i came off as rude, im not angry with you at all ❤️

I'm iconless out of laziness ,  but I do have a fc .   and he's a set fc .   (  I don’t really know what ‘ set fc ’  means tho kfhkdj  )

I can see where you’re coming from here ,  and honestly thank you for sharing .  like I never meant to say anything to dismiss your opinion ,  and I don’t think my followers really intended to either   ???   I can’t really speak for them ,  but I  can  apologise for how certain responses came across ,  I hope you’re alright and not upset by this conversation that’s spilled across my blog .   if it’s any consolation ,  I am learning more ‘n more about how this erasure of Turkish people and their fight to prove their identities as Muslims  has real - world impacts .

I can’t speak to being Turkish ,  but I can speak to being Muslim ,  and I think that’s where we differ in our opinions .   I think (fan) casting Muslims as  ‘ humans ’  and disregarding their entire religion is disappointing to see ,  but if someone casts a Muslim as a completely different ,  non - human entity altogether ,  honestly i’m usually more excited to see an original take on a character than upset at how it doesn’t capture the Muslim experience .   

to me ,  Muslims aren’t limited to explicitly Muslim characters  -  we’re more than just billboard advertisements of our faith .   I wouldn’t mind a hijabi taking the lead role in a movie and never once outwardly discussing her religion ,  because her presence alone demonstrates the possibility of Muslims as more than just their stereotypes ,  and more than just their faith ,  if that makes sense .   and  THAT  was my point with Cengiz .   it wasn’t a tokenism thing ,  it wasn’t like  ...   look at me i’m so cool I have an alt fc ,  it was to see a bit of me  ‘n  my religion in the form of a well - loved ,  popular character ,  instead of being like ok let me just cast jason mimosa or bananabread cumberbatch over ‘ere

well, in the words of Anne Shirley: “we best love the people who need us.” and ben/kylo needs us a looooot. (i’ve been meaning to write a post on that exact quote Maria thanks for giving me an out by just replying instead!!!)

This EXACT THING HAS BEEN ON MY HEART SO MUCH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It’s like the underdog thing on a moral level and anyone who’s hanging on even if only barely to something better than their actions is going to make me love them. I will love them; it’s how I’m wired.

Never shut up about Kylo Ren! Your views on him are some of the most beautiful and sane and nuanced Star Wars opinions out there. Don’t get discouraged by other peoples’ wrong opinions.

ASDF;KSADFDL;FSD TTHANK YOU!!!!!! THIS IS SO WONDERFUL TO HEAR especially from you and means so much to me!!!  (thank you, no really) Also exact same @ you!. 

curiouschild replied to your post: 

We love you. The right of redemption needs to be defended, and even if it seems silly or someone tells you he’s just a fictitious character, there are real people who hear this idea that redemption can’t be earned and that’s wrong. It’s damaging. And we need someone to defend that belief because people need to know it’s never too late for forgiveness. Sorry I’m rambling. but your views and opinions matter ❤️

ah thanks Hallie!! I do think it’s really, really important that we see more redemptive stories in art than currently exist in our mainstream culture. It’s so important and the real life impact that redemptive stories will create is only positive. There is nothing bad that can come from them, because redemption isn’t about ignoring justice or excusing evil. It’s just the hopeful, beautiful, true story of how you break a cycle of abuse, end wars, conflicts etc, and really start the healing process for everyone involved. everyone!!!!

I keep wanting to write an essay on redemption and my faith and why redemption in art means so much to me (and I will hopefully!!) but for now I just want to say it’s because it’s the one thing that leaves nobody out while still keeping everything in its proper place. like, ugh i’m explaining this so badly, but the way I see it in my mind is like this huge all-encompassing hug that lifts everybody up in it and no one (not one person!!!) is left out of it. 

 (goSH THAT’S SO CHEESY but that isn’t what i mean exactly but sort of!!!). 

it’s like, i see it in my mind like AN OCEAN OF LOVE AND CHARITY that is endless and infinite and beautifully attentive to detail at the same time (this is my image of God in my mind) and nobody is ever left out of that love. nobody is ever locked out of that or left in the cold, nobody needs to be. And i really believe in the very depths of my heart that you don’t have to stop loving people who do terrible things!! I understand why most people want to but you don’t have to !!! you don’t HAVE to!!!! and this is why I do try to remember to pray both for the worst people in the world, the criminals whose names I see in the news, and for the people who have done the worst things to ME (because that’s way harder). because that is a way I can and want to still love them. And love is so important because love isn’t about coddling or excusing. I firmly believe that you have to protect the victims first!! that you have to enforce and demand  justice!!! i believe that criminals deserve prison time or fining or community service or whatever a just punishment is for their crime. i believe in asking for. DEMANDING restoration of whatever was taken or lost or broken by the crime. 

but that doesn’t mean that i (or we) have to view criminals as dead or squashed or over or cut off like a bug, that they’re trash even if what they’ve done is evil beyond description or imagination. i don’t believe that you can’t still love them even though I understand why people don’t (which is why this is all tied up in God’s love and grace and without it I don’t know that any of what i’m saying would be true). you can still pray for them, still think of them as human beings, even if what they’ve done is unimaginably horrible. even if they spend every second of the rest of their life in jail (and even if they should!! and i believe some should!!) i believe that they can still turn back to the light (if we’re using a star wars metaphor here.) they can still be sorry, they don’t have to be cut off from everything, they can have hope, they can be sorry for what they’ve done, they can change. while a human being lives and breathes, he/she can CHANGE. they can’t and shouldn’t run from the consequences of whatever they’ve done, but they can change. they can!!!!!! they can accept those consequences with love!!!!! they can let their sufferings purify them!! they can try to atone for what they’ve done, restore the terrible wounds they have inflicted (even though they’ll never be able to which is why, again, we all need the redemption of Christ) but they can and even the life of the worst criminal in history is never doomed to be one of despair if he/she decides not to be. and i can believe all of this while fighting to protect the victims of the crime and saying that they didn’t deserve what happened and seeing that their healing and their safety is prioritized and taken care of, that justice is done FOR THEM. both of these things can exist at the same time and THEY SHOULD it’s the only answer that doesn’t leave anyone out !!!!! and that’s what this is all about for me on the most fundamentally natural level, that I don’t believe in “canceling people” and in renouncing their ability to change while they live and breathe. i refuse. i’m sorry this is so long i just got swept away.
