some thoughts to ponder...

[Perpetual Blaze]

i have a saying that i live by... Live as if you were to die tomorrow and Learn as if you were to live forever. ...
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. the test lies in being able to see past the contradiction.There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions that our minds can handle in this form. and sometimes we will only find the answer when we are willing to listen.yet regardless of if we are listening we continue to live them out, making our lives a worthy expression of leaning into the light... even if the darkness surrounds us. this society we live in has lost sight of the true meaning of what living really means, and all to often we find ourselves trying to escape the mental trap we find ourselves in. shaking off the veil of ignorance is never a easy feat. but it is not impossible. it will take a lot mentally and spiritually to overcome the lies we all were spoon fed for a lifetime. if you can separate your ego from yourself i believe that you will be able to see the truth in all that you seek. but this is not the only aspect of life that deserves attention...
we have all at one point or another have thought of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. Within the bounds of infinity reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.
life is amazing, and continues whether you are ready or not. but on my quest i stop frequently to smell the roses, because i only live this life once. And admist the chaotic times we all face ahead it would be good to remember that life is happening now and we must not waste it. just a little reminder as i know we all get swallowed up with the current events, but remember as well to take a moment to enjoy the sunshine.

peace and love always

Is life about surviving hardships or is it about touching everything you can while you can. I am in the second school of thought. I feel that we all need to share life today for it to even matter tomorrow. I live with the woman who wrote the words above and I can tell you that she lives in the present, she loves today and hopes for tomorrow. I tend to be a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the topic of being a sensitive but I know enough to say that I do not know everything and that there are many things that are well beyond my grasp to date. What I mean by this statement is simple, just because I don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there, take air for example, I am pretty confident in saying that we all do not see it but we all require it every moment of our lives. I pray that someday I will be able to feel the same sensations or see the world in the same light as PB does, she is my teacher in these matters. I ask each and every one in this group to please take the time to share their thoughts and visions because it may just be the catalyst that will open my eyes along with the eyes of others who may be skeptical in thinking. Thanks for the post babe and please never stop being who you are.

Profound. Thanks for getting us to pause a moment and smell those roses before they too pass into the night.

i have one that we live by, that actually comes from the bible but also is logical. "don't worry about the past, you can't change it, don't woryy about tomorrow you do not know whats to come, think about the present. that's what we all have to do. stop during the day sometime and think about were you are in your preporations. you basicly know what's happening with the pole shift and earth changes. look around you and see if there is anything that can help you. you do not have to spend a lot of money. most of my stuff come from the dollar store, army surplus store. it doesn't have to be new, just servicable. do a little sewing, jeanette loves when i stick myself with a sewing needle, especially i have to take four injections a day. it is time to take action.
