The Spirit of Narcissism

Published January 10, 2024 by tindertender

Narcissism isnt specifically about characteristic traits. Narcissism is a Spirit. This Spirit has the same characteristics, no matter which body it is attached to.

The spirit/soul of a “narcissist” is bound by that Spirit. They are puppets, who must behave in a particular way, exhibiting certain traits that will cause specific agitations, anger, or chaotic situations. It’s their purpose, to dominate a situation and bring chaos to it. They like to think of it as control. Perhaps in a way it is, controlled chaos.

When we separate ourselves from folks who have this Spirit attachment, they will get angry, defensive, insisting they are a benefit in your life. Some may threaten you for leaving. Some will certainly shoot mental knives at you, and throwing toxic, dark energy into your solar plexus.

Step back.

The “person” is gone, a shell remains, a “person”-ality puppeted by darker energies. You can literally feel it when it’s present, especially if you’ve been in Spiritual warfare with it for any length of time.

Release the guilt of severing attachment to such forces.

You don’t have to play their games.

You don’t have to accept being dominated, rewritten, controlled.

Claim your Sovereignty.

Release the “puppet-master”.

Quotes of the Morning 1/10/2024

I must create a System or be enslav’d by another Man’s.
I will not Reason and Compare. My business is to Create.

~ William Blake

The afternoon of life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.
~ Carl Jung

Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rage at close of day.
~ Dylan Thomas

Post-mortem life:
Everything gets doubly precious, gets piercingly important. You get stabbed by flowers and by babies and by beautiful things.

~ Maslow

If name be needed, wonder names them both;
From wonder into wonder
Existence opens.

~ The Way of Life, Lao Tzu

Confucius said:
… When a man carries out the principals of conscientiousness and reciprocity he is not far from the universal law. What you do not wish others should do unto you, do not do unto them.

~ From The Golden Mean of Tsesze XIII

A wicked man who reproaches a virtuous one is like one who looks up and spits at heaven; the spittle soils not the heaven, but comes back and defiles his own person.
~ Buddha, The Sutra of Forty-Two Sections

This is the sum of all — righteousness.
In causing pleasure or in giving pain
In doing good or injury to others
A man obtains a proper rule of action
By looking at his neighbor as himself.

~ The Mahabharata

More flesh, more worms;
More wealth, more worry;
More women, more witchcraft;
More concubines, more lechery;
More slaves, more thievery.
(But) More Law, more life;
More study, more wisdom;
More counsel, more enlightenment,
More righteousness, more peace.

~ The Talmud (from Mishna)

We do not exist for ourselves (as the center of the universe), and it is only when we are fully convinced of this fact that we begin to love ourselves properly and thus also love others. What do I mean by loving ourselves properly? I mean, first of all, desiring to live, accepting life as a very great gift and a great good, not because of what it gives us, but because of what it enables us to give others.
~ Thomas Merton

The Lamps Are Different, but the Light is the Same

Published January 9, 2024 by tindertender

The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
So many garish lamps in the dying brain’s lamp shop,
Forget about them.
Concentrate on essence, concentrate on Light.
In lucid bliss, calmly smoking off its own holy fire,
The Light streams toward you from all things,
All people, all possible permutations of good, evil, thought, passion.
The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind,
Endlessly emanating all things.
One turning and burning diamond,
One, one, one.
Ground yourself, strip yourself down,
To blind loving silence.
Stay there, until you see
You are gazing at the Light
With its own ageless eyes.
——Rumi

Honey Badger

Published January 9, 2024 by tindertender

The safest thing to do when you encounter a honey badger is to stay calm don’t provoke the animal, and if you get a chance to escape from the honey badger, run fast and hide somewhere.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_badger

Honey badgers, known for their fearlessness and tenacity, carry a unique spiritual message. They represent courage and the ability to take on adversaries many times their size. They teach us that size and appearance don’t dictate our ability to face life’s battles.

Moreover, honey badgers embody the spirit of perseverance and endurance. They remind us that regardless of the odds, we can achieve our goals through determination and an indomitable spirit. Therefore, their spiritual significance revolves around the themes of relentless pursuit, courage, and resilience.

Superficially Badger people appear unalarming. However, they have an extraordinarily strong core; this becomes apparent when they speak truth. There is no buttering up here – rather, cutting through the BS right to the heart of the matter. That can be harsh, but it can also be very positive, supportive, and uplifting.

Badger Medicine instills strength, self-reliance, and a fresh, bold outlook. Badger helps you be ready for everything, although sometimes his approach to a situation is a tad unconventional. If you’re in a rut, you won’t stay there long when working with Badger.

Badger … portends that you are about to achieve some victory or a turnaround of ill-fortune.

Dog vs Snake

Published January 7, 2024 by tindertender

When I was a girl, my dogs and I would go strolling through the wilderness. Whenever we’d come across a snake, they would paw and dig furiously at it, finally picking it up in mouth and flinging it out into the forest somewhere.

Dog :: reminding us of what is important in an upside-down world.

As I was half dozing last night/this morning, I was thinking about the thought forms in the collective field … those viruses of shame, guilt, anger, lust, those ideas we aren’t good enough, or worthy, those thoughts encouraging folks to think lowly of self, to hate self, to want to end self … and I called on the holy canine to sweep the collective field, rousting out these snakes and doing their thing to clear them.

I woke to near silence.

May all who work so diligently on behalf of the Divine, the Sacred called Life flowing within all beings and things, be blessed abundantly, surrounded by the Might of the Most High, protected, guarded and guided as they move in this world.

Creating Self

Published January 5, 2024 by tindertender

There’s a difference between seeing an other, admiring them, then copying them trying to imitate their existence in every way, shedding any sense of self … and … incorporating into the neural highways of one’s own mind, character and Self., those qualities which instill a greatness being birthed and expanded into an ever increasing “big bang” development of personal awareness.

You are a master at studying your environment. You take on the good qualities of those around you, and you leave the negative behind. When you’ve learned all you are able, you extract yourself. Then you implant self into another environment, and glean those new-found qualities in others, examples which can assist personal growth and expansion.

If people are unwilling to present self transparently, there’s nothing to embody, nothing of truth being presented as an offering, of a particular life. There’s nothing offered to present a growth opportunity in the environment.

So you go to another source, another meet-up, church, social function. Over and over again, you flow into situations and groupings, absorbing everything your discover that sits right with your soul … learning as much as you can, about as much as you can.

People are fascinating! There are so many unique ways of approaching life, and a never-ending example of greatness … all one needs do is pay attention, and learn.

We don’t have to take on every characteristic of those in our environment at any given time. We get to choose the building blocks from the examples we fill our environment with.

Creating Self.

What a Treasure!

Just before dozing off, a message arrived:

“Choices are being made for those who didn’t choose.”

Thank you Heavenly Father, the Most High Creator, thank you to the One with All Authority, for giving me the easy job.

Thank you for allowing me to rest in gentleness.

Thank you for taking the position of Judge, and deliverer of Justice, away from me.

I am grateful.

You wouldn’t recognize it if it weren’t so. Rather than take that light from an other, utilize the example to learn amplification of your own, inherent gifts. Expand …
