    <content type="html">the tenaciously hot july sun had creeped to its bedchambers, transforming the long drips of shadow to a mere underscoring line on the thick stucco exterior walls. inside, several inches from a long mirror, cross-legged on the carpet, i hunted for a truth buried somewhere, i knew, deep within my skin. perhaps further. its existence had taunted me since my toddler stages, a predator planning the perfect strike, and as my eyes chiseled away at my reflections' persistence, i knew an effective bait had been cast.&lt;br /&gt;time fell with the shadows, stumbling from my senses. it was as important as the clothes i wore, or what i'd consumed that day. i was in the moment, in the truest of perceptions, where life was no longer a series of these blips, but a coherently overlapped hodgepodge creating one, single instant.&lt;br /&gt;i could see the mirror-man begin to falter. it was only a matter of diligence now, how badly was i to have it? the looming knowledge of something so much more than me over so many years was, if anything, a tumultuous, undying distraction. all experiences had been leading to this, one way or another, and in many instances, my choices were based on my hunt for that hidden answer. or perhaps, my desire for that answer better aided in my understanding of the choices i made.&lt;br /&gt;tomato, tom&amp;auml;to.&lt;br /&gt;the air was damn near gelatinous, cushioning my body from any sways side to side, back to front, and helping to allow my mind to flow freely from its host, chakras aligned and cemented. it felt good to be that involved, that seperated from my 'reality'. i was in no room, no house, no city...i was an energy among many, innumerable. immaculate. &lt;br /&gt;feeling everything was terrifying at first, however there was a strength in soul, steel blood. i connected with the life-force of all that was as i was beginning to ascertain my position as one with all. an extreme of extreme light of light swelled inside and outside. white, blinding, glorious. pure.&lt;br /&gt;i was going to know that truth, it was here, it was in this light.&lt;br /&gt;i blinked.&lt;br /&gt;no, darker, faded. it began to feel sticky again, i could sense particulars. i was willing to accept this! why wouldn't it uncover itself? self-conciousness reappeared, laughing. a large mental finger seemed to be shaking in my general area, pointing at my child-self's face, blushing dimples. laughing again, was someone else here?&lt;br /&gt;it was near darkness now, a sore leg was revealed to exist, the mirror began to solidify, reforming a smiling, ignorant person in its skin. my stomach was upset and grumbling softly, the sound of a splashing sea surrounding a melancholy ship, being tricked into thinking it had hit land.&lt;br /&gt;i blinked again.&lt;br /&gt;the water from the faucet retired the jet-lag feeling that seemed to control me. it had been an intense experience, eye-opening, yes, but a rather eye-closing one as well. after coming to terms i was back in the room, filling my body again, i sensed a tear form and fall, and stood up. shakily (and rather disappointingly) i picked my feet up one by one, opening closures in my veins that had formed during however long i sat, and went to the bathroom, where i was now rinsing the sweat-drenched pores of my face. the liquid molested my skin, tightening it back around this reality, and forcing placement of my soul.&lt;br /&gt;i looked up. my body, my vessel, was nothing that this society has forced us to believe worthy of attraction. skin pockets of fat hung from my ribs and underarms. pudgy would be appropriate. my shirt hugged the lumps of my torso, and my loose flannel bottoms aerated my legs. my collar had begun to moisten from my face's runoff. i grabbed a green towel folded purposefully atop my toilet and dried myself. my eyes shifted reluctantly to the light exposed to them as i set the towel down. i was here now.&lt;br /&gt;my feet seemed to have been placed on auto-pilot as they shifted back and forth, one ahead of the other, into my room. there was an unspoken solace contained in these walls. there hadn't been a time since my school days where i had my own space. everything in here was mine, a seemingly selfish statement, but without selfishness humans would've evolved to light ages ago, and i was but human. before this room, my humanity, my person was sacrificed for others wants and wishes. friends, roommates, ex-lovers. all had ruled my thinking, and with that i had lost whatever progress towards self-fulfillment i had achieved sans-them. this space however, each wrinkle of fabric and intricately-placed trinket, was by my own accord. this somewhat insignificant notion was truly the forefront platform for which i was able to delve deep within and begin again to find myself.&lt;br /&gt;the bed was softer than usual, as though my body had been beaten for hours and now reached pillows of clouds. every muscle relaxed and folded into the sheets, absorbing the cotton weaving as its own. bliss seemed reachable, but fleeting. it was amazing how tiring that expansive journey was, yet now, as i lay face-down amongst a giant stuffed dog, i wanted nothing more for it to happen again. the aftermath was worth every physical pain experienced, every lost breath my lungs struggled to keep up with. to worry over such a thing as pain of my body (something i controlled regardless) for the greater good of total soul fulfillment seemed superfluous. body rests, it heals, if i allowed it to affect me, it would. i vowed silently to myself i wouldn't permit the pain access next time.</content>

    <lj:music>various tunes, the beating of my heart</lj:music>
    <content type="html">i loved my body in my bathtub today.&lt;br /&gt;in the modern sense i am not. but for its most intricate and higher-dimensional definition, my body was loved today.&lt;br /&gt;i was feeling sorry for myself earlier, and perhaps for longer, with a pain of my vessel that was threatening a collapse. i have been quite lazy for some time i suppose, and i gave my body a sudden, heavy workout too fast and lasting several hours. my body hurt, and i haven't been sleeping well, etcetera etcetera. i allowed a physical pain to bring me down.&lt;br /&gt;i needed something and yet i wouldn't permit myself to deliver.&lt;br /&gt;i turned on the shower, it began to feel warmer in the room. my mind slipped into an automatic instinctual zone, and i felt a barrier that had seemed to have been snuggly constricting my body begin to crack.&lt;br /&gt;i stepped inside, my aching feet and weak legs and knees found it difficult to stand confidently, afraid its sore and tired host might slip. my mind instantly rooted itself to my, well, roots, and my top half's energy, spirit, what-have-you, was pulled down. if only words can describe the sensation of your spirit self escaping body and putting all attention on your legs alone...&lt;br /&gt;the speeding, and near to scalding water droplets attacked my skin. but in a good way, as highly intensified light energies igniting your body ablaze in random sequential, microscopic-like specks! i felt them at my feet first, (i felt my feet! the numbness burned away!) and the trickle and splatter of light moved gingerly up my legs. i took a sturdy dive underwater and felt the heat penetrate my scalp, run down my body as if quite anxious to meet in the middle the warmth from my roots. &lt;br /&gt;the light did in fact meet in the middle, and breached the core, sending my spirit into a mesmerizing explosion, shattering that restricting shell and allowing my chakras to align, and spirit form to engulf with love and radiate around my body in a glorious divinely passionate blaze!&lt;br /&gt;another dip into the waterfall!&lt;br /&gt;i immersed myself into the moments, savoring every timeless experience and connecting with divinity at full flowing power.&lt;br /&gt;i grabbed some shampoo, and worked it into my follicles, my cells, my atoms, every clean massaging moment fusing seamlessly into the next. i rinsed it, again moving my head beneath the shower head and feeling the warmth light up my body, top to bottom. i reached for the conditioner, and massaged it into my cap as well, with a smooth pressure from my tips of fingertips. it was as if a lock were being picked (or perhaps the lock combination was subconsciously being administered) and my crown chakra was released into the heavens, crossing any and all significant time and space, and embraced the divine. &lt;br /&gt;the smell of the soap was invigorating, to say the least, and the body wash was that of black currants and vanilla bean, a sensual aroma, one to ignite the soul and bring it to a physically-sensitive peak. after applying it to a bundle of cloth-like mesh, i wet my skin and began a tender, yet pressured scrub. the mesh was like miniature chisels, scraping the layer of skin permeated with negative energy from my body, and with that a layer of self-love and light emerged victorious! for how long this lasted is of no importance, as time existed not in that feeling.&lt;br /&gt;i felt beautiful, and held myself tightly, my muscles relaxed and unnoticeable. i needed no legs to stand, yet they were strong and i was confident in stance. &lt;br /&gt;the water slipped off me like silk, and i basked in the heat for many years, many moons, many dimensional layers, slowly slipping to the current. i touched back down on mother earth, her grassy back a welcome treat. i was home within myself, valiant, if only all could experience this bliss and complete understanding! i loved myself, respected it, admired it, touched it, felt every microscopic particle as part of the mother and the divine and the moon and the water and all of that is such a magnificent splendor and keen examples of how beautiful this place is and how wonderful it is to be a part of it and that if all of that is pure, untarnished beauty than surely, as i am spawned from that very soil, i must be beauty as well. exactly the way i came out. the mother, nature, the divine, and we, we do not make mistakes. things happen precisely the way they should. &lt;br /&gt;the towel patted my moist flesh with a delicate softness that seemed to leave the feeling of the wet without the water. a noise stirred outside the room where i stood bare and exposed. by habit, i locked the door, covered myself up...what shame! i realized what i had done, stupefied. my lungs filled with love, and exhaled the self-disgust still tucked away in the crevices of my heart. my drying cloth dropped to the floor, and my back straightened. i felt my hand move to the door to undo the locking action, allowing any possible chance of an accidental barge-in. and would they be so lucky! to be able to see me in my most purest of forms! would i shy away, coy and blushing? would i loathe them? would i hate myself for letting someone see such beast as me?? NO! i would stand tall and radiant:&amp;nbsp;YES&amp;nbsp;THIS&amp;nbsp;IS&amp;nbsp;ME, i would pronounce as their eyes' apertures struggled to stretch to allow such brightness as one with divinity seeping from pores in, YOU&amp;nbsp;ARE&amp;nbsp;LOOKING&amp;nbsp;AT&amp;nbsp;TRUE&amp;nbsp;BEAUTY, BEHOLD, WHAT&amp;nbsp;LOVE&amp;nbsp;ONE&amp;nbsp;CAN&amp;nbsp;HAVE&amp;nbsp;FOR&amp;nbsp;THEMSELVES&amp;nbsp;CAN&amp;nbsp;DO, HOW&amp;nbsp;IT&amp;nbsp;CAN&amp;nbsp;SHINE! HOW&amp;nbsp;MUCH&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;HEAVENS&amp;nbsp;CAN&amp;nbsp;BE&amp;nbsp;SEEN&amp;nbsp;IN&amp;nbsp;YOUR&amp;nbsp;FORM!&lt;br /&gt;alas, there was no such barge-in, my skin was rubbed in a loving manner by gentle hands coated in cherry lotion, my loose pajamas hung off of all the necessary places, but not superfluously. hair conditioned and combed through with fingers, feeling every follicle, every root of hair.&lt;br /&gt; my moment was over before it began, it seemed, at first, and i was curious as whether i may have dreamed it. what difference could that possibly have on it, though? it was a manifestation in the most innocent of senses, an energy-aligning revelation of high importance and utter beauty. whether it happened in this plane or not is no par for course. my body received precisely what it needed, what it had been desiring for a long while: love. whereas in the past i had thought only another's love for my ship (save its captain) would matter, and without it my ship beached, at some times midland. &lt;br /&gt;that love for body did not come and stay in such an instant. but it was a signal that i'm running down the right track, thinking the right things about myself. in retrospect i wish i'd have held to that feeling for dear life. it began with self-pity, and has seemed to end with a level of the same. if i made that happen, however, if i tapped into that faucet of knowledge and truth, if i allowed that love and positivity to flow at a most extraordinary rate, then surely it will happen again, just as it needs to. phantom depths to the soul stay dormant for not as long as it would seem, and out of the shadows they shall venture.&lt;br /&gt;its just up to me to keep the door open, welcoming their return, embracing them passionately, and holding on to them longer next time.&lt;br /&gt;until then....another shower perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;3</content>

    <lj:music>mazzy star/so tonight that i might see</lj:music>
    <content type="html">it sometimes gets hard to decipher between fear and ignorance. i know i'm ignorant over some of the things that have been happening, and when i slip and lose myself, i become mildly fearful. and of what? of my mind? the power i have over my universe? the various passages i contain within myself? its all of these and none of these.&lt;br /&gt;but i'm standing tall and embracing it head-on, for i know that lessons are in store, lessons eager to be learned by me. and i want to experience the wonder and amazing adventure and knowledge and truth that comes with it.&lt;br /&gt;what comes of dreamspace.&lt;br /&gt;to quote one of the greatest movies of all time: thought is real, physical is the illusion, ironic isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;the power we all hold is tremendous and awe-inspiring. &lt;br /&gt;for some time now i've been attempting to recognize control in my dreams. to recognize control and administer it most definitely could be one of the greatest things i could do for myself and my growth. the knowledge i can acquire, both of myself and of my universe. in turn i would be able to explore so much more, delve into realms seldom connected to purposefully, engage in higher energy waves and promote a connection with the divine i have, in the past, only been able to dream of (pun intended).&lt;br /&gt;the line, very recently, has finally been crossed, and i came to recognize my dream state. while amidst a lovely day with friends and family, i came to realize that i was not on this plane, but an entirely different one. how i came to this i can't really say, i somewhat stumbled over the fact, and even went so far as to second guess myself, continuing on in that different realm without any exploration. i woke up in this plane confused, and thinking that the dream had actually been the day previous. i even started getting dressed for work because i thought it was saturday and i had to work on saturday. it was some time, luckily before i made it to work, that i found it to be friday. and that what i thought was the previous day's events were actually an entirely different plane of existence's events.&lt;br /&gt;i hope i make sense.&lt;br /&gt;but who's to tell me otherwise right? what are the differences between this and other dimensions or planes or realms or what-have-you? can you tell me? some told me that it was that this one was 'real' where as others weren't. not to sound too matrix-y but what makes this plane real? all that makes this real is our minds, our thoughts, our recognition that we exist on this plane. thats what connects all of us on this dimension....recognition. &lt;br /&gt;but i think, nay, i know, that if we can only learn to recognize our existences on other planes we could explore those just as much, and have entirely new and enriching connections with others.&lt;br /&gt;hence...my dream journeys.&lt;br /&gt;i'm still ignorant of my control over myself and my mind in my dream state. i've yet to fully embrace myself during those sequences, but i have continued to awake with memories of different times in my head. i awake only to find that what i thought had happened the previous day (or sometimes &lt;i&gt;days&lt;/i&gt;) had in fact not happened. on this plane.&lt;br /&gt;and i find myself getting fearful of it, again during times of losing myself. i slip and tell myself that i don't trust my mind, that i'm going crazy, that perhaps i did just a few too many psychotropics in my day....but then i bitch slap myself.&lt;br /&gt;how dare i not trust my control? i have recognized and actually grown from learning to control my mind and my thoughts. there was a time i was lost in negativity and self-hate, but through concentrations on love and realizing that i was the one putting myself in negative mind states, i have become the repulsively positive person i am now. &lt;br /&gt;so i know that the fear and uneasiness i have about my getting deeper and deeper into my mind and more and more connected with my universe and the divine is expected, why wouldn't it be? but it is controllable. i tell myself this time and time again.&lt;br /&gt;i'm excited for future submerges into the unknown yet known, for in thoughts and mind are the stuff of truth found. the physical means nothing at all. &lt;br /&gt;i am a body of energy having a physical experience.&lt;br /&gt;and true, i would still like to explore this physical illusion which is my 'reality'. but since it all lies within me, in a way i've already seen it, right? ;)&lt;br /&gt;i think we sell ourselves short when we focus on whats in front of us. earth is a mother which does truly need to be loved and cared for, and the stars and galaxies are wondrous things to set our eyes upon, but these bullshit things we seem to concern ourselves with other than those or the explorations of our inner selves.....ridiculous. yet so many our lost in things that don't matter.&lt;br /&gt;it saddens me.&lt;br /&gt;until the populations' wake up call rings true...YAY EVOLUTION....i shall delve into my fibers of being, discover the inner workings and the passageways i contain within myself. no fear is to be held onto, no ignorant thought to be felt true...i shall only let myself go unbarred and free spirited. i hold the truth so why shouldn't i do the driving?&lt;br /&gt;i wish you all luck on your journeys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now....to bed. &lt;br /&gt;yay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">this is my first post since four or someodd years ago.&lt;br /&gt;a period of change and evolution.&lt;br /&gt;this plane is growing at an amazing energetic rate...as people want to believe and entrust in love and unity. the change is happening, and the switch will flip.&lt;br /&gt;oh how fun that will be.&lt;br /&gt;and i'm preparing heart and mind for it.&lt;br /&gt;my past posts shined through with insecurity and self-hate. a negative ned of sorts. i was unsure and out of self-love for myself, and it brought me and my actions and my thoughts down. i was in a period of lesson, through only the dark may the light shine through. and it has made me appreciate and enjoy the bright that much more. i was neck deep in blind hate. and now i see the light.&lt;br /&gt;today i've been witnessing many souls displaying something that they have invested much time and passion in. and most did it simply to bring what they themselves love to the masses, for all to be immersed in. people poring there hearts out, regardless of what others think, but still hoping that others will feel their passion. it was somewhat inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;i have passions and loves. things i spend a lot of time concentrating on and learning about. mine may not be something i've invented, or a physical talent i've mastered, but it isn't lacking in fervor or dedication by any means. however, mine isn't coming through as brightly as these others i've been surrounded with. i'm keeping mine in, not so much selfishly, but for some other reason.&lt;br /&gt;i know my next hurdle. i've seen it. &lt;br /&gt;theres some experience i've had already that i haven't yet grasped the lesson of. and i'm sure that lesson is that i have some worth that i can share with others. i love me. i'm confident in the fact that i love myself and who've i've grown to be. and who i'm growing to be. but something is pulling me back, and in an attempt to confront those issues i'm revisiting all old journal entries and pictures and memories. something is buried that i need to dig up.&lt;br /&gt;hence lj. :)&lt;br /&gt;this will come when it needs to, and i'm confident, with trust in the divine and faith in myself, that i shall confront it head on and with gracefulness unbecoming of the arrogant and cowardly and fearful. i have love in my heart and spirit, this i know.&lt;br /&gt;but until that time arises, i'm taking steps to prepare and engulf myself in growth. this, example one. writing...constantly. i asked on a really old lj entry once 'if you were a pen, what would you be forced to write?'. my answer then was superficial and lacking in any self-love. now, i'd have to say...: i wouldn't be forced to write anything, for i am the pen and the writer, and my only goal is to write whats in my heart.&lt;br /&gt;next example: i'm going to enforce even more control in my daily life, through consistent yoga, (my yoga is every other day or so now) meditation, the ways i exert my body, such as working out more, and the things i put into my body. it seems i might have a problem with that. i love myself any which way i am, but i love myself enough also to keep me healthy. and though i'm just an energy and spirit and light in a vessel traveling through this plane, i wouldn't mind keeping my ship in pristine condition. &lt;br /&gt;last example: i will search for true desires. whatever they may be. i know a few...but i want to know them all.&lt;br /&gt;the evolution is coming, no avoiding it. and i feel as though i can be a great part of it, maybe even help others. this would be wonderful, and would fill my heart tremendously...i'm excited too. love is a beautiful thing, i was always so envious of those who radiated with it. but now i think i do too, i know i do, i feel it. i feel so much. and i'm excited to feel more....keep the lessons coming universe.&lt;br /&gt;i'm ready now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;3</content>
