#faith in the divine

[templeofastrallight]

Just because you cover it up, paint over it, and try to hide the truth of a thing, doesn't mean that it's gone and was never real. It's still there waiting to be revealed, what it represents past present and future still remain a constant whether you hate it or not. They remain. What I experienced within spiritual work is the truth even if you tried to damage it for of your own evil agenda. What I saw at 3 and felt from the divine and spiritual are true. Telling me they don't matter anymore because you're trying to paint over it with your own cult dogma doesn't change the message I got. I know what was said to me spiritually as a child and that's the core, the true crux. I wasn't being invited to be killed but initiated by one, and born embraced by the other and both warned me about you. You're not the answer, or it's representative or it's face, you are the discord that both sides said were in the way of the callings from each side. My spiritual life and it's struggles isn't of your concern.

Carried Through the Storm: Trusting the Divine Footprints in the Mystic Journey

On the spiritual path, we often find ourselves in moments of struggle, isolation, and uncertainty, wondering where the Divine is in our darkest hours. The old story of Footprints in the Sand offers a timeless reminder: even when we feel most alone, we are never truly abandoned. The footprints that carry us through the storm are those of the Divine, supporting us in ways we may not recognize in…

Confessional... things get complicated when you're a ghost.

@i-am-as-normal-as-you-are asked for, and this is a literal quote, "R!Edwin going to a confessional (full angst)" so yeah... full angst indeed.

I see a lot of references to the scene in Goodbye Stranger where Dean, on his knees, begs Cas to come back to himself (and to Dean), and I see a lot of reference to Dean referring to praying as begging, but not a lot about how these scenes are literally in back to back episodes? Dean Winchester really said I don't pray because it feels like begging, but I'll pray to you, and then in the literal next episode said fuck it, let's drop the pretense, I am begging. I need you.

On the 10 Commandments:

———

The First Commandment Explained

———————————

People often still debate the meaning of what God’s Commandments are after the numerous translations. The Orthodox Jewish Bible actually contains the transcript of that speech I gave that day in Shemot 20.

And in my own words: If you do not hold anything else, hold & speak my commandments. Let us review the originals as they were intended- the speech with the teaching summary. Any & all attempts to do harm and/or cause suffering by bypassing the Commandments with “loopholes” will be considered with harsh penalty.

I will eventually cover all 10 commandments.

1. “Thou shalt have no elohim acherim in My presence.”

‭‭Shemot‬ ‭20‬:‭3‬ ‭TOJB2011‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/130/exo.20.3.TOJB2011

This actually started with a somewhat of both a truth & a small joke. “Get these false Christians out my face”.

It’s somewhat silly, but I had a lot of internal anger around many of these events because there were MANY people around that were preaching things that weren’t practicing the same religion as you.

This was a call to stop believing in false teachers & allowing them to have authority.

A big note is that at the time this also was specifically speaking to those that practiced sagery, sorcerery,witchcraft, & other beliefs that were attempting to be false spiritual leaders inside of Christianity. These are people that aren’t Jesus attempting to lead the direction of the church/his people. Stop listening to all these random people divining here on Earth our religion.

Jesus was handed down the religion in heaven. Everyone should be saying the same underlying message & there should be no fractionation of the church. If there is, something went VERY VERY awry.

Bible Study- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 ♡

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."

In a time like now filled with many distractions, it is easy to be tempted by procrastination. As a college student, I tend to be very harsh on myself when I am not as productive as I would like to me or if I spend too much time doing things other than studying or work. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 reminds me that there is a time for all things to take place.

Be kind to yourself when you fall short of your expectations because every season has its purpose, and it's okay to have periods of rest and downtime <3

Stop giving away your power by letting what others think of you, define you. People’s perceptions of you hold no value unless you allow it. If you don’t agree with how others see you, create you own narrative and start defining yourself.

Shift your mindset from needing validation, to knowing who you are. Don’t walk into the room thinking “I wonder what they think of me.” Walk into the room thinking “I don’t mind what they think of me. I know who I am. I am the best.”

And sure, this mindset may seem like arrogance but it is far better than craving approval or trying to explain yourself to others.

You can either give your power away by depending on the approval of others or you can free yourself, become the main character and perceive yourself the way you desire.
