Spring awakening
Awake for brain dripping
Awash in a sea of chemicals
Puberty
Open your prepubescent eyes to God's glory
You just met Him, but he knows you.
This is that awkward stage, where your faith has pimples, and you're a little ashamed of it.
It'll pass.
Unless you forget to grow, and you spend your adulthood hiding
Awake awake awakening
Sleep sleep sleepening
Pssst, does this ring true?
It turns out belief in anything is the same feeling process.
God's not my bag, baby, but I had a childlike faith and then awkward discovery and then then then I grew into my faith as it proved itself.
That's awkward to acknowledge. Is that just life? Is that normal for
There are so many serious adults who speak like a three years old when it's about faith and spirituality.. we grow dysmorphic in our spirit as much as in our society..
I think when I was 3 my thoughts about faith were deeper than now. At that age, I remember asking to the priest if the soul was transparent like the glass table in my parents living room :D
My mother tells me that after my first cat died, I thought a lot about death. One day, weeks later, I burst into tears. She asked me why and I said, "I just realized, I won't know me when I'm dead."
You were an @improv since the very beginning ;-)..How old were you?
4? We were still living in Seattle, and we moved to Wisconsin when I was 5.
It looks like I accepted death when kid.. at 6 mum came to pick me from school earlier, I saw the sadness in her face and I asked her "grandpa has died Ma?" It was so.. She remained astonished ..
Kids really look at faces. They see so much more. We lose that. We shouldn't.
All I know is that certain people thoughts about spirituality - let along a specific religion - are embarrassing .. sorry if this sounds judgemental. I just want to say that we should try to grow our inner being not less than achieving other material life goals. Btw, I recently went to listen a seminar from a rinzai's buddhist monk ..his ideas about Christianesim were just a bunch of clichès. Obviously everyone was just nodding to the enlightened wise man. I automatically feel to take the defense of the minority in such situations..
I think even the great masters don't have a clue about many things that are outside their experience. It's for that we shouldn't judge what we don't know very well.
About my beliefs, you surely know I don't believe in the dualism of body and soul, so talking about "inner being" for me doesn't make any sense, since I try to grow the "whole being" ;)
This is said with full respect of your's or other's beliefs
That's a simplification so everyone understands..I just meant that we know everything about cryptos but we neglect our spirituality. I'm not manichean like that you should know. And in the end mine wasn't even such an origina thought..but unfortunately true. Spiritual immaturity within the society in which we live, don't you agree? Oh.. and great masters, in their greatness if they don't know something would be expected to socratically shut the fuck up. JMHO
so agree - especially with you last sentence
Kill the masters ... Figuratively speaking 😉
Now I know even faith can have pimples!
