Disconnect between physical and astral personality

I feel realizing the divine within ourselves is the goal of every spiritual journey.

Your dreams are your hope.  By highlighting certain subconscious reactions, they point the way to closer integration with the divine.

Weapons are a means of control, not of just defense but also of enforcing your will upon others.  One common trap is the rationalized use of violence 'for their own good'.  If you are trying to love someone, and they do not respond in the way you think they should, and you have ascertained that they are adamently taking that course, then accept that is how they are and move on.

You cannot enforce any love but your own.  Usually, the highest expression of love is simply letting people be who they are.

Have you tried some of the alternatives to first person shooting games, like Myst and the rest of the series?  Perhaps a redirection is in order.

About a week ago I was having a similar chat with someone about how I have been trying to be understanding, kind, gentle, and just plain sweet.  It seemed to have some kinda of build up in me though.  I just wanted to rip into someone, I felt I needed to vent.

People aren't perfect, no matter how hard we try.  We have emotions and each one should have it's day in the sun and be released in some way. I'm not saying go out and beat the heck out of someone just cause you're having a bad day, but acknowledge it so as not to get that build up.

I ended up just venting to my friend...(and thanks by the way..[]) The release was nice, and I am feeling grand!  I am inclined to think that your dreams are just venting for you, since you are trying your best not to do it in the physical.

But of course..just my two cents. [^]

Nay.

I think there can be a tremendous backlash in blindly trying to deny our habitual expressive ways.  Our emotions and expressions are reflections of our needs, which will put us in pain if not met.

The path from physical centeredness to true compassion, if that is your path this life, is truely a path of transformation that must be undertaken with patience, understanding, and kindness to oneself as well as to others.

Forcing yourself to be a certain way in waking life is bad, and can lead to pent up frustrations and then an explosion of those negative feelings.  If you want to change yourself, you have to change your desires.  You have to change who you really are, not force yourself to act some way that you really aren't.  I had a big trust problem with my girlfriend for a long time.  I tried to deny my feelings, and they got worse.  Only when I accepted that she can be trusted and truly realized that I should trust was I free of my jealousy.  You have to change what is underneath.

Why in the world did you delete most of your post???

Grrrrrrr..now it makes no sense to the others whom come along to read it. What was in it that you didn't want others seeing?

Nay
