"I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory." - Jesus to St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul (Notebook I, Entry 48)

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.

Frances Hodgson Burnett

[theinwardlight]

The lesson of wisdom is, be not dismayed by soul trouble. Count it no strange thing [...] Should the power of depression be more than ordinary, think not that all is over with your usefulness. Cast not away your confidence, for it hath great recompense of reward. Even if the enemy’s foot be on your neck, expect to rise and overthrow him. Cast the burden of the present, along with the sin of the past and the fear of the future, upon the Lord, who forsaketh not his saints. Live by the day – aye, by the hour. Put no trust in frames and feelings. Care more for a grain of faith than a ton of excitement. Trust in God alone and lean not on the reeds of human help. Be not surprised when friends fail you: it is a failing world. Never count upon immutability in man: inconstancy you may reckon upon without fear of disappointment. [...] Serve God with all your might while the candle is burning, and then when it goes out for a season, you will have the less to regret. Be content to be nothing, for that is what you are. When your own emptiness is painfully forced upon your consciousness, chide yourself that you ever dreamed of being full, except in the Lord. Set small store by present rewards; be grateful for earnests by the way, but look for the recompensing joy hereafter. Continue, with double earnestness, to serve your Lord when no visible result is before you. Any simpleton can follow the narrow path in the light: faith’s rare wisdom enables us to march on in the dark with infallible accuracy, since she places her hand in that of her Great Guide. Between this and heaven there may be rougher weather yet, but it is all provided for by our covenant Head. In nothing let us be turned aside from the path that the divine call has urged us to pursue.

Souls need to thrive and not remain stuck in one spot. That is why parks have more god and angels in them than church. What works for you may not work for another, but that desire to help even though you’re blinded by your beliefs still remains.

[feminiel]

Pray, pray, pray, and pray. Prayers are how you initiate contact with your higher self and your spiritual team that supports you. Pray, listen, and then take actions based on the guidance you are receiving from your intuition. It's remarkable how prayers can work their magic. They will be answered in ways that your mind cannot see right at the moment, but looking back, you will see that every step has lead you to have your prayers answered.

The way that I find prayers to be effective is when they come from your heart and soul. They have to be done with pure intentions. You have to trust that they will be answered in divine timing. Some prayers take days, some months, some years! This is where our faith must be stronger than anything. Believe that a higher power is working for you; for your highest good, believe that your guidance will lead you in the right direction, believe in your intuition, believe that each step of action will add up to something significant for your prayers to be answered, believe that you are heard and supported by something higher than yourself.

Essay on Blindness and the Future of Humanity

The analogy with Blindness, by José Saramago, becomes quite clear. Society seems blind, while a few are able to see beyond the limitations imposed by social and religious structures. People walk in darkness, believing they see the light, but they remain trapped in their own illusions. Only a few dare to challenge this collective blindness and seek the true light, the true connection with the divine. And often, these few are seen as mad, marginalized for daring to question the status quo.

This collective blindness is saddening because, by erasing ancient traditions, by suppressing the diversity of beliefs, and by forcing everyone to think the same way, we are losing the essence of what it means to be human. Ancient stories, cultures that were silenced, carried beauty and depth that should have been preserved. We are building our history now, but will it be worthy of respect in the future? Or will it be just another narrow narrative, shaped to serve religious and political interests?

The worst thing that can exist is to force people to think the same way. The richness of humanity lies in the diversity of thoughts, beliefs, and worldviews. And by trying to erase this diversity, we are erasing our own essence. As I said, the true search for God is internal. It is a personal, introspective journey, where we find God within ourselves and in everything around us. By doing so, we connect with a much greater reality than the limitations that society tries to impose on us.

كل نفس ذائقة الموت

“Every soul will taste death.”

Q3 (Al-Imran): Verse 185

A quote from the Quran; and it may seem harsh, but it has healing properties that snap you back into the here & now. Life in this simulation is temporary. Only now exists. There is no time outside of this now moment. No past. No future. Just here. Just now. You choose; moment to moment. You create your reality in this simulation. It’s just each of us with our beautiful ever shining souls. Life is temporary, the soul is not. In that we remember the eternal power of our souls and how short this life actually is.

MULTIMUSE QUESTIONAIRE

Tagged by @e-m-p-error

RULES: Answer the questions with the Muses that would best fit the answers. Bonus if you give details why. If tagged, copy and paste into a new post – DO NOT REBLOG!

1) Rank your softest Muse and your toughest Muse. (Personality-wise)

Jayden is the softest by far. He's here for a good time. He's not scary. He's here because he was an idiot. He's a cupcake.

The toughest... is either Hellaina or Tara I think. They're both pretty stable, take no shit muses. Hellaina is Vox's second, and Tara is many things, one of which is a Fallen Angel and a mercenary.

2) Which Muse would blow through $1000 quickly?

Vox or Metatron for two entirely opposite reasons: Metatron only mildly understands money, and just Would Not Get it. Vox has enough money that he just doesn't care. He'll make it back in a day or two.

3) Do any of them have nicknames? Is there a meaning behind them?

Yes! A few of them do! Depending on how much of a nickname one considers Vox, he counts, which was the pretentious gay's use of latin coming in clutch for his name in Hell because he couldn't be Vincent.

Dia's name is already a nickname from life.

Tara's has a few motivations behind it. On one hand, it's more subtle when on Earth, but it's also more casual than Astaroth-- Astaroth is the name of the Fallen Angel, and delegate to Earth and the other Rings. She is a greater demon. Tara is Belphegor's best friend, she's the one who's eating gelato in Italy because she spends so much time in Italy.

Svetlana uses Lana a lot of the time, because it's more recognizable to non-Russian people, but she has a whole list of diminutives with specific usage meanings behind them.

4) Are any of them up-to-speed on the latest trends? Anyone more old school?

I know we all expect Vox to be the most up to date, but he's not. He owns the trends, and he runs them, but the person who spends the most time online, keeping up with them is Jayden. Hellaina also knows as a result of her job.

Adelard barely understands the modern era. He's not up to date on the trends, he doesn't have a cellphone. He thinks radio is too complicated some days. Metatron also has no idea.

5) Who has the best relationship with their siblings?

...Belphegor? The bar isn't super high. Most of them are only children, and while Hellaina has a sister that relationship is... not good. And at least some of Belphegor's are also down in Hell as the other Sins. He has their numbers. It's... well it is. He misses them despite them all, in theory, being there.

6) Karaoke night! Who is likely to grab the mic first and bust out a tune?

Jayden. Jayden is lord of the pop sensation. Dia also is likely to! She'll drag people into musical theatre duets.

7) Who is least likely to enter a beauty pageant/model?

Hellaina wouldn't, Dia... I can see her doing it, but it would be more for fun, some sort of fashion show Cannibal Town is putting on. Vox would be dragged into it through like... Velvette and Valentino, it's a press thing, he would not do it of his own volition. Adelard, Belphegor, Svetlana, and Astaroth wouldn't. And honestly I think Jayden would.

8) If your Muses visited a haunted house where actors scare you, who would panic and who would be unfazed? 

Hellaina wouldn't be phased. Dia is having a great time, she's not scared at all, but she's having fun! Svetlana... honestly, I think, might be spooked, but depending on what it is, but has a decent poker face. Tara is unafraid, Belphegor is more likely to be. Metatron would have the like... funny moth-eye effect in which he is shocked but not scared. Honestly I can't decide if Adelard is scared of them, or if he's just been down in Hell for so long nothing even registers anymore, it's just another Tuesday. Vox isn't scared. Jayden is livestreaming the whole thing, he's going in unafraid of anything! And at the second scare immediately spooks and drops his phone.

9) Are any of your Muses particular about taking certain modes of transportation?

Vox has been Hell's foremost advocate for a subway system for literal decades. He cannot drive, so mostly he is driven or walks. He's sort of the one with an interesting answer.

Metatron can fly but doesn't usually.

10) Share a little-known fact about any Muse.

Of the sinner muses, Adelard has the highest body count. He has killed far and away the most people, and considers it wholly justified.

A slight redesign for Dawn of Trust and Faith, my tiefling divine soul sorc! She’s an acolyte of the goddess of innocence, children, and the wounded, so I wanted her to seem as gentle and motherly as her faith would suggest, and her outfit is meant to evoke both religious vestments and an old-fashioned nurse’s uniform.

She’s still just a backup character for now… hopefully I’ll get a chance to actually play her someday!

The greatest education is learning to know the divinity of thy soul.

Lailah Gifty Akita, Pearls of Wisdom: Great mind

[wayti-blog]

Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.

-Charles Lindbergh

[saneperhaps]

You say you are an atheist, and at the same time you believe in the concept of soul, which I think is rather convenient.

I don't think karmic casuality is the reason enough for anybody to behave ethically.

To think that there is retribution of any kind in this life or any other, it's like a weak man's hope for some kind of cosmic revenge.

It's very easy to believe in something out of fear and guilt.

All ethics must be arrived at in isolation of religious belief.
