Sorry Baby

The Majick doesn't work on everyone...
only those who can't see behind the curtain.

~why would you want a muggle, anyway?
Is she easier to control?
You're too weird.

...and bye-bye then.

Nice job, Nathan!

Truth

"Tell the truth, to everyone about everything, then live with your truth, in every moment and in every way, and you will be happy forever in your heart. For truth makes the spirit soar, truth sets the mind free, truth opens the heart, and truth ignites the passion and releases the love of the soul" ~Neale Donald Walsch

Horse horses horses horses~

Using People

Using someone for sex is even worse than using someone for money; it involves their heart and soul.

Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen

Never thought age mattered in a relationship, but I'm rethinking that conviction~

Deep Thoughts

“Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing.” ~Jack Handy

Choose

The choice between true, wild, unbridled, passionate love and settling for a life with a financially stable partner with whom I love but am not "in love" with? Its a choice between flying or being tied to a 100lb weight for the rest of the days here on Earth.

I would see my children follow me in flight before I would lead them to look for gold rocks to tie themselves to, just so they can sail on someone else's boat, and always wonder about their own worth.

‎"If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself."
--Barbara De Angelis

Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal...You say: "He lost his life" or "my life," as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don't have a life, you are life.
—Ekhart Tolle

Star From Afar: Sand In The Hand

How many times will you go through the process of admiring a new stranger, going through the trouble to get to know them, achieving familiarity, and then deciding that they weren't as awesome as you thought, so you blow them off...
BEFORE You Get That It's An Issue That Is From Your Own Head?

“Independence - is loyalty to one's best self and principles, and this is often disloyalty to the general idols and fetishes” ~Mark Twain

The man who is annoyed when someone else is expressing emotion is a man who lacks the ability or awareness to look into a mirror.

You Are Not As Enlightened As You Think

Conditioning tells us who to trust, who to respect, what kinds of people are capable of which tasks and who is worthy. It also provides the reasons why we should believe it. We can come up with rationale all day long about why we respect certain people and others not, but it is mostly smoke and mirrors. Reasons tailored to fit the conditioning. Because it deals with feeling, that's why it is so effective. We feel more comfortable with a female elementary teacher. So our mind comes up with reasons to justify it. We feel more comfortable with a male car mechanic, so we search for evidence to back this up. We also tell each other these reasons, and that feels comfortable too. We attack and manipulate anything that is different, hoping subconsciously it will make it go away so we can feel comfortable again. The male nurse gets picked on by coworkers, patients and doctors alike, even undermined. The female electrician gets ignored, sabotaged and condescended to by both coworkers and customers. And that behavior is rationalized as well, and backed up by others who are conditioned in the same way. Attempts by the person to stand up for themselves is also met with hostility. That is the essence of conditioning. We are trained by the people in the environment we grow up in from the time we are born until we die, and mostly by people who are unaware of their own conditioning, so it is not easy to see. If we want to break out of conditioned thinking, we must question the most hardwired assumptions, we must observe details of our behavior and challenge our OWN feelings, and continue to observe the process with each implanted belief. The next time you ask someone for advice or guidance, or hire someone to do a job, or feel annoyed by someone who is asking you a question or giving you information, stop, sit, step outside of yourself and observe your feelings and thoughts from above, get a bird's eye view.

Albert Einstein

“If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.”
