Humans As Growing Organisms

One of the most powerful things to have happened in my life is multiple rebirths. This is a moment in time where the individual I used to view in the mirror shattered. At that point, you're forced to observe the new individual in the mirror.

Take some time today and work toward hatching a new self. You are given everything in life that you need, resources all around, opportunities all around. The only thing that needs altered is the mentality and vision within.

An Exercise for the day could be to work on the side of you that is scary to face. Yesterday I took some time to step through the seven deadly sins in order to show myself which ones are the most tempting to me.

Seven Deadly Sins

Here is a list of mine in order. After this exercise you can see which temptations and urges trigger an unconscious reaction in life. I will include an example of when I have been tempted toward each sin.

Pride

I have recently been on a path of growth which has been gifting me with knowledge I thought would never be provable, as I go down this path I must remind myself that I can have self-honor, but pride can bring a type of entitlement along with a mental image of power. I must remind myself to remain humble and only empower others.

Avarice

Moving to Colorado, I had two paths to choose. I could move to Vail with a man I had met out here and serve the finest of the finest. Working as a server under this individual, I could have been living surrounded by luxury while optimizing profits in order to fill my pocket. As a servant of the world, I can sense the satisfaction of serving, yet the other path is more lowly and humiliating. Remaining homeless in Steamboat Springs in order to remain humble and serve a community of the people has been my decision, and I believe it to be the more humbling one.

Lust

I have been gifted a woman in my life, a Yang to me, Yin. Seeing beauty in other women, or even men (Who knows yet lol) should only be appreciated and let go. Fixation of sexual urges can cause a type of unconscious mind that can escalate into the most serious matters in our society - such as rape, molestation, and much more. Remain controlled and disciplined while appreciating beauty. Remember, a flower is so beautiful, appreciate it - Do not pick it, for that cuts of the life force that feeds said flower.

Glutton

Always being an eater, partially due to the endless garbage disposal my stomach adapted into as a competitive swimmer, I must remain disciplined in the amounts I eat, while keeping in mind the purity of food I consume. Ice cream is my weakness, but I'll have you know that I only had three scoops of chocolate gelato yesterday!!

Wrath

I actually don't have much trouble with this action, as I have always avoided individuals that lash our poorly. I do however have a kindling fire within full of righteous fury toward the way our society is treated, the way the people of earth are treated and manipulated.

Envy

I have been gifted with a type of clarity of mind that prevents me from envy most of the time. It can occur from time to time, but it is dismissed extremely quickly. Envy is a type of feeling that only comes with insecurity of self I believe, and I am beyond ecstatic with what I have been blessed with, for I am only grateful.

Sloth

Only in times of depression do I have trouble moving. Since day one I was blessed with an infinite amount of energy that even I have trouble controlling at times.

Which do you succumb to?

Comment below with the results of your exercise! I only wish that some clarity comes to the pupil that undergoes this task for the day. Continue to grow, and continue to see. Heal the blindness within yourself, then you can heal the blindness within others.
