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

Frances Hodgson Burnett

[namitha]

Patience and self-discipline are strong allies along your healing path. They both need elements of trust and dignity. The universe moves in divine timing and asks you to honor the process. Keep belief in your growth and healing. Stay the course. You have a new life ahead of you.

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!

Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes. -Vincent van Gogh

[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.

The Profound Benefits of Praying the Rosary

Shaina Tranquilino

January 8, 2024

Throughout history, individuals seeking solace, guidance, and spiritual connection have turned to prayer as a powerful tool. Among the numerous forms of prayer, one stands out for its profound impact on millions of believers worldwide - the rosary. This beautiful and contemplative practice holds immense benefits that extend beyond religious boundaries, offering peace, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection with oneself and a higher power. In this blog post, we will explore some of the remarkable advantages of praying the rosary.

1. Tranquility in Times of Chaos: In our fast-paced modern world filled with stressors and distractions, finding moments of inner tranquility is crucial for maintaining emotional well-being. The repetitive recitation of prayers while holding the beads provides an opportunity for stillness and reflection. As each bead slips through our fingers, we are transported to a place of calmness and serenity within ourselves.

2. Enhanced Focus and Concentration: The rhythmic nature of praying the rosary aids in developing focus and concentration skills. Through this practice, our minds learn to ignore external distractions and turn inward towards prayerful thoughts or intentions. Regularly engaging in this meditative exercise can improve mental acuity even outside prayer sessions.

3. Deepening One's Relationship with God or a Higher Power: Praying the rosary fosters a sincere connection with God or any other divine entity one may believe in. Each decade offers an opportunity to reflect upon various aspects of faith such as virtues, mysteries, or events from scripture. This intimate dialogue helps strengthen personal spirituality by promoting self-reflection, gratitude, forgiveness, and trust in a higher power.

4. A Source of Comfort during Difficult Times: Life presents us with trials that can sometimes feel overwhelming. During these challenging periods, turning to the rosary can provide solace like no other form of prayer can offer. By seeking solace in the repetitive prayers and meditations, the rosary becomes a source of comfort, reminding us that we are not alone and that there is always hope.

5. A Pathway to Inner Peace: Praying the rosary allows individuals to enter into a state of deep peace and inner harmony. The soothing rhythm of reciting Hail Marys and contemplating on sacred mysteries has a calming effect on the mind and body. This peacefulness carries into daily life, promoting emotional stability, resilience, and an overall sense of well-being.

6. Cultivating Virtues and Personal Growth: The rosary serves as a powerful tool for personal growth by encouraging the cultivation of virtues such as patience, humility, compassion, and self-discipline. As one engages in this prayerful practice regularly, they become more aware of their actions, attitudes, and intentions - leading to positive behavioural changes over time.

Praying the rosary is undoubtedly a transformative spiritual practice with far-reaching benefits for people from diverse backgrounds. It offers solace amidst chaos, strengthens focus and concentration skills, deepens one's relationship with God or a higher power, provides comfort during challenging times, nurtures inner peace, and fosters personal growth through virtuous living. Whether you are religious or simply seeking a means to connect with your spirituality in a profound way, adding the rosary to your prayer routine can bring about remarkable transformations within yourself.

I'm seeing so much posts about manifestation, that it made me want to write about it and my experiences. I have learned many lessons about manifesting;

We manifest all the time, whether we are conscious of it or not.

We can manifest from either our ego or our heart. The energy of the heart is more attractive, though.

We can manifest from our wounds or from our healed self.

When we are not in our power and being conscious, manifestation can be tricky. We may want to manifest something because we believe that something outside of ourselves will make us feel how we would like to feel. Work with what's within you first, it all starts with you.

Manifesting from the heart is what makes attracting things to you work. When you can feel it with all your heart, you will see it appear in your life.

It’s okay to feel. Feelings alone don’t make things manifest at will. What makes feelings manifest is how you nourish that energy and take actions toward it. The more we nourish a thought or feeling with high beliefs, the more potent it becomes. This nourishment can either lack vital energy or abundantly energize you.

Your core beliefs are the most powerful factor in the process. Your beliefs can be either conscious or unconscious.

Your intentions are the seed of your manifestation. If they come from your higher self, life will support you as you need. If they come from your lower self, you will struggle much more, and even if you manifest what you were aiming at, it will not make you feel truly fulfilled.

Manifesting is about energy. When you work on shifting your energy, the energy outside will follow to match yours.

Essentially, you manifest what you need the most in the present moment. Even if you want something else, your needs are what drive your soul to grow, so sometimes, you will get what you need instead of what you want.

Your soul knows best what to manifest in your life that will make you feel closer to your true self. Follow your intuition and heart more when manifesting.

If your manifestations are not working, it’s because there are energies working against your own willpower. Working on developing your personal and spiritual power will help with building your power of manifestation.

Manifesting from your own values is what’s going to serve your highest good.

Sometimes, we just need to stop trying to manifest and instead return our energy to ourselves. Detach and let go. Allow the Universe to work its magic. Trust, have faith.

When we get better and feel better about ourselves, we attract better.

Manifestation is about balance; you need to connect with both the realm of energy and the realm of earthy things.

Prayers can help with your manifestation. They allow you to detach and surrender to the will of the divine. Trusting helps you be in a receptive state for your manifestation to happen.

Images, imagination, and visualization are helpful, but they are not as impactful as the feelings that feed them into existence. The source of those is your feelings and emotions. Learn to take care of your emotional self, and your energy will work in your favor, as will your manifestation.

Manifestation is a co-creation. The Universe is supporting you and helping you, but you must do the work.

There are many universal laws behind the process of manifesting; law of attraction, law of consciousness, law of magnetism, and many other laws that I don't even remember and don't even know about! There are so many. Just remember that your energy is the most important thing when you want to attract and it's enough. Always do an energy check-up with yourself. When you learn and understand how energy works, you start to use these laws without even knowing you are already using them. Work with energy, with following what your soul is telling you, and learning how to develop your consciousness and your heart energy, and you are good to go. Your energy is what attracts things to you, learn about it. But, of course if you want to learn more about manifesting; read, read, and read, but be discerning. Reading and learning are never a lost.

It will take the time it needs to. Don’t force or try to make it happen faster. Divine timing is at play when we are manifesting. It will happen in its own timing. Trust, and detach. ~ @feminiel

The Hypocrisy of Beliefs and the Captivity of Souls

Religion, as a social and spiritual structure, plays a central role in humanity's attempt to connect with God. But often, this attempt becomes distorted. Christianity, for instance, has built its history on the idea of redemption, selling the notion that Jesus died for everyone’s sins, absolving individual responsibility. This notion may seem comforting at first glance, but in reality, it can easily lead to spiritual alienation. The ease of redemption — that all it takes is prayer and repentance to be "saved" — creates a dangerous dynamic where wrongdoing becomes easy to justify, while righteousness, the higher path, is ridiculed and marginalized.

Throughout history, Christianity has played a central role not only in spreading its message but in suppressing other cultures and spiritual traditions. From the expansion in the Roman Empire, with the forced Christianization of pagan peoples, to colonialism, when indigenous religions were destroyed and replaced by Christian dogmas, Christianity often acted as a mechanism of cultural erasure. This domination was not only religious but also cultural and political, suppressing the diversity of thoughts and ways of life. Pagan temples were destroyed, ancient texts were burned, and entire traditions were classified as myths or heresies.

Spirituality was reduced to a system of control, where salvation was offered, but ancestral knowledge and wisdom were denied. Christianity was not the only religion to exist, but its efforts to erase what came before, treating other traditions as inferiorities or lies, created a limited mentality in humanity. By doing so, it restricted knowledge, which should be the true path to spiritual evolution.

And what remains of this history? A humanity that conforms to a single way of thinking, failing to realize that God, the Creator, exists in everything and in all traditions, from pagan rites to the most complex spiritual philosophies. Theology, if it is to be studied truly, must expand to encompass all religions and beliefs, pagan and non-pagan. To limit the study of God to a single tradition is to fail miserably in understanding His totality.
