you are a special case, because your spirituality is muddled....but seeking it's own expression, which puts you paradoxically head and shoulders above these demons, but at the same time right in line for the pharisee's hell. you come off as understanding the way things work, when we know that is just a reaction formation. You are trapped here with the rest of us brother.

word up, good analysis --- particularly the underlying message

i'm misunderstood on the intellectualizing part though bro... if anything i devalue it more than most because of what left brained thinking did to trap me for so long --- but others value it so much these days, that they assume i put value in it too... but clearly you're so right to bring it up, as it's a major effin part of my journey of unlearning smart to knowing wise.

absolutely trapped though! and hope i dont come off as if i think i am in any other place than the one we're all sharing -- cuz it's def. not a holier than thou type facade i'm tryna put up --- more like a "oooh shit, i had the click, maybe sharing something with someone can help them, which will help me, which will help us", you know what i mean?

i have started praying to be more humble though. added it in my nightly 'mantra'/prayer --> really each word being the next step in my journey, for each new phase.

"God, help me to be Courageous, Selfless, Loving, Patient, Peaceful and Humble. Help me to be a great husband, a great father, and a great human being -- and help me to always Remember".

and i know you know the importance of the last word there ;)


good looks friend --- i'll revisit and improve :D
