There is something weird that I see. It contradicts the truth I know of. When people talk about God as if He's just someone they choose to be their God or something stupid like that. As if they could choose who created them. There is no "my God" versus "your God" nor "his God" nor "her God" - there's just God. The one who created all things.
I'm in this world but I'm not of this world. Religions are created of this world, because there's some kind of confusion where they came from and where they're going. And what their reason is for being.
We chose this life. It was spiritual traits such as love that led us to the self-sacrificial decision that brought us to Earth to make life better for others in the name of God. God gives us interests that lead to skills that lead us on the purpose He set us on. We did this for Him. We don't fully remember all of it, nor do we remember Him in all His full glory. We have to rely on faith because blessed are those who believe without any physical proof.
The knowledge I have is written in to my spirit. Things I've known my entire life before I was ever even taught anything about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, The Holy Bible, Religion, etc. - there are other things from the other side that I have knowledge of, have witnessed in dreams and also have some fragmented memories attached to emotions that go with them, things I cannot even begin to explain the full awesomeness of it in earthly human words. But if I try to explain that then it will take me longer than the rest of my life and I won't even have begun to scratch even a small fraction of the surface.
God is not a choice. He's a blessing. People can claim to choose who their parents are, in title only, but in actuality your creators are who they are, more in the same sense of how you can NOT change who your Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandparents are. "Oh but I get to choose who my family is." You get to choose who you spend your time around and communicate with and such in this life. But we can't choose who we truly are, nor where we came from. Nor can we change the fact that we're here for a reason. We're here because our presence is needed in some way.
We shouldn't judge these days by the harvest we reap. But rather by the seeds that we sew. The harvest will take care of itself. Our actions matter. We can choose what we do for the most part, but we can't always choose what happens from it all the time.
And be humble. Everything good we have in this world, we have because of God. Every skill, ability, we are given from God. Every good trait. God can give you more. But you must bless Him by blessing those he sends you to bless. Forgive others. Not an easy task. And even harder to ever regain trust. And it doesn't even necessarily mean to let people in to your life who wish to make your life worse or drag you down with negativity or attempt to lead you away from God. But forgiveness is like releasing a hot coal, holding on to it and you're the one who gets burnt by it. It lets God know you are worthy of His forgiveness when you ask it. Do not wish bad things upon people if you can help it. Put your faith and trust in God.
And God bless you for reading this!

Don't wait until someone dies...
Don't wait until someone dies in order to say something nice about them. There are likely some people you know that are either your enemies or former friends or even people you are friends with now but don't talk to very often.
Don't wait until they die in order to say something nice about them, and then think you're honoring them and their friends and families by saying that. That's actually a huge insult both to all of them and to your own self. Being two-faced is dishonoring who you are. And lying to them or waiting until the person dies in order to say something nice is an insult because why should it have to take someone dying in order for you to say something nice to them? Why couldn't you say it while they were still alive?
I'm not saying you have to say mean things about a person after they die because obviously that's a whole different kind of not cool, in the opposite way of the point I'm trying to make here. Because in that situation they can't defend themselves.
What I mean, is take a look at the people who you know that are still alive. And find some way to show them some form of honor and respect now, today, while it can still mean something to them. Because if they aren't alive to see it, what should it matter to them how many nice words you say about them? They'll never get to rejoice in what you could've said. It's always a great feeling when an enemy becomes a friend, especially if the enemy had previously been a friend of your's.
And if you still want to dislike someone and not show them any form of honor and respect, then don't show it to them after they die. Because who they were while they were alive is no different now that they're not alive anymore. If you really respect a person, show it to them while they're still alive and if you really respect them you will respect them for who they are, and that includes both their good and their bad traits, and whether they're alive or dead.

The meaning of "Tothian"
So many people have asked me over the years what my name means. It isn't anything that defines me. I define my name, rather than it define me. My whole life before I got the name, I knew that there was a name in my head that I was meant to be known as. It always felt like a song I once heard but couldn't even remember the tune nor the lyrics. Then one day it came to me and it instantly clicked and flashed and I saw a vision of myself some years in the future in one of my then-future Tothian suits. While it is meant to sound like a Medieval Warrior or Jedi Knight, that's just the feel of it rather than a description.
I'm a Warrior and a Protector born on a very important mission to destroy evil and save the world. I'm also on a mission to help the real superheroes and remain a thorn at the side of supervillains and fake superheroes. My name is Tothian, and I destroy evil.

The Spirit of Camaraderie
There used to be something in most of the RLSH Community a few years ago, from around 2007 to 2009, around the time I was the President of the Heroes Network. There was a real spirit of camaraderie there. I could try to explain it but you really had to be around there back then in order to really understand it. For the past year or so, I've felt it was very important for me to remind the RLSH Community about it, but it was hard to find the right words. I'll try anyway, though.
Back in the good old days, RLSH's got along with each other... sorta... There were some occasional arguments, but unlike now where things can get really messy, back then they were constructive arguments that got heated, and if they did lead to bitter disputes, they often got settled, as a community, like a family. And from then on for a while the community seemed happy again, and people understood each other and got along better than before. And more often, if there were any disagreements, RLSH's agreed to disagree. When ever there were arguments, people often agreed to forgive each other and make peace with each other, because they mostly understood how important it was for RLSH's to all be on good terms with each other.
This was before a lot of the media attention in this community. While there's a huge misconception nowadays that the success of an RLSH has to do with how famous and popular they are, and that all the media attention was good for the community in moving it forward, the truth is that these things have caused a lot of problems and actually moved it backwards.
Being an RLSH is not about public image, it's not about popularity. It's about befriending those who need friends, saving those who need saving, protecting those who need protecting, fighting evil.
That's not to say that all media attention is bad entirely. It can serve as a very effective networking tool, with people who need your help or wish to work with you. But, make sure it's for the right reasons. And understand that the more well known you are, the more problems it can cause you.
There were times when RLSH's would defend outcasts in the community. Nowadays they outcast the unusual people as weird, because they're worried that certain people are bad for the public image of the RLSH Community (It's not a Movement). That's also a harmful way of thinking. People who say things like that and think like that are the ones who (in my eyes) make themselves look bad.
You can't define the standards of a Real Life Superhero, especially since many of those who I've seen try to define it as a whole have got it (in my strong opinion) wrong. You can define the standards of certain cliques of people, and while it can serve it's purpose in some ways if it's within certain groups, it can't be spoken for as a whole. I've seen many good people feel outcasted by the in-crowds. When in-crowds try outcasting people, they're not just outcasting those people from their inner circles, they're outcasting their own selves from enacting heroic ideals. Especially in the eyes of those they're outcasting.
By trying to unite this community, people will only divide it further. In my opinion, the way it works best, is when people let everyone be themselves. Not conformity, but rather self-expression. Acceptance, not outcasting. Let people be themselves, not who you want them to be.
When the Spirit of Camaraderie existed in the RLSH Community, there was a good balance of seriousness and joking around. And that was accepted. Too much of one and not enough of the other is not good.
It used to feel like a family or like a loose network of individuals who had this evil-destroying Warrior Spirit about them. It felt like a real superhero community. Nowadays, it feels like the U.S. House of Representatives.
I say this with the hopes of my friends in the RLSH Community reading this and if they were around back then, I hope they remember this and allow the spirit of camaraderie to return back again. For those who weren't around back then, please bring it back.

WWBD?
What would Batman do?
Here is a pretend conversation I had (not really) with an imaginary friend (not a real imaginary friend, just a made up one). It's partially meant in jest, but also meant to make a really good point as well.
And sadly, yes, this is necessary...
TOTHIAN: Batman wouldn't go around giving out all this personal information about himself on Facebook, like when he patrols, where he patrols, especially beforehand, or what level his armor is, what kinds of martial arts he's trained in, etc.
DENNIS THE DUMMY: Yeah, but Batman isn't real...
TOTHIAN: So, only fictional characters can practice smart tactics?

The best episode of "Walker, Texas Ranger" ever!
I saw this episode some months ago, and it was the best one ever.
From what I remember of it, it started out with someone going to a crack house and buying some crack, while some middle aged man near by puts on like a ski mask, lights up a bottle, runs up to the door, throws the lit bottle inside there, and runs, then the whole place goes in flames and blows up.
The gang leader told the guys that he wanted to know who was the one who blew the place up, and that there would be a reward for the guy who spotted the guy who did it. One of the guys in the gang while driving through the neighborhood spotted out the guy. So the gang leader told the gang member that his reward would be that he'd let him shoot and kill them. One weekend while that man with his wife and their grand-daughter were walking to church, they drove by and shot them all. The only one with any serious injuries was the grand-daughter. Just a young girl.
So, she's in the hospital, appears to be in pretty bad shape, the Doctors think there's a pretty good chance she won't pull through. So, it was either the mother or grandmother who is there with the young girl in the hospital room, as she is squirming around, trying to gasp for air, and appears to be in a lot of pain, while the other female relative is watching, scared. Just then the little girl stops moving and the machines get a flat line. The woman then starts crying, and praying to God, saying that she's too young to go and to please try to give her another chance. Then she goes silent.
Just then, a few moments later, the girl kind of flinches and ends up starting to breathe again, she appears very happy and calm. She explained how she had died and met her angel but her angel told her that she had to go back, that she had more work to do.
Since it was a pretty dangerous neighborhood they all lived in, the girl does exactly what her angel guided her to do. And supposedly her angel would still maintain communication with her after she came back to life. She went to try to set up a large prayer meeting. She would go around town giving out flyers to people. She gave one to a skeptical prostitute who tried to act polite but didn't take the girl too seriously, and as the girl with all her friends and family walked away, the prostitute crumpled up the piece of paper... then stopped... thought about it, then uncrumpled it up, and read it.
She even gave one to the very man who shot her, and whispered something in his ear after she gave him a piece of paper and walked away. The gang leader asked the gang member who shot her and the girl gave him the flyer to, what she said. Then in a paranoid way asked him again what she said. The gang member said "She said.... 'I forgive you'." You can tell that the man who shot her appeared to have seen the error of his ways now.
The gang leader was getting paranoid and angry, and eventually tried to shoot and kill the girl himself, BUT, just then, the man who had originally shot her and killed her the first time she died, had jumped between the girl and the gang leader who was shooting at her now. This time he took the bullet for the girl, he gets sent to the hospital, and the girl goes to see him in the hospital, along with the Walker Texas Ranger guy played by Chuck Norris, and the guy told the girl "You know I'm the one who shot you, right?" The girl was just like "Not anymore." So they made their peace. And, it appears that while in the hospital, this man died and came back, and also saw the angel that the girl saw.

The time I destroyed a demon in late 2010
In late 2010, for a few months, there was a woman in the Real Life Superhero Community known as Trinity, who had an ex who was in to voodoo and black magic type of stuff. Trinity got really sick all of a sudden and ended up staying sick for like about 2 or 3 weeks, and believed that a curse was put upon her.
So, I meditated, and went into the metaphysical state, I asked God to give me my metaphysical sword and to back me up with an Army of Angels, so then I went and saw Trinity in the metaphysical state. I saw a big fat black snake wrapped around her neck. I stabbed it with my metaphysical sword and in the name of Jesus, casted it away and destroyed it.
The next morning, Trinity sent me a text message, saying that when she woke up that morning, that she noticed that she was entirely healed, and thought of me for some reason. Then I explained to her what I did.
But really it was because of the help from others who taught me about this kinda stuff. Master Legend who always taught me about real metaphysical archangel powers, Wall Creeper who taught me how to effectively astral travel, Nyx who taught me about spiritual defenses, and Ecliptico who taught me a lot about supernatural abilities.
Anyway, in the next few weeks after that, I started having all kinds of bad luck from demonic attacks. Everything I owned started getting broken or lost, mostly everyone I knew started to turn against me for the stupidest reasons that were either lies other people said about me, or things I had nothing to do with, and had no control over.
I always notice that when Gods sends Angels and Archangels to Earth, that they always perform all these great miracles for people and do all kinds of good, but despite that, still go through all kinds of suffering. If you've ever seen the movie the Green Mile, different situation, but same idea.
However, there were other certain things I did to take care of these problems. God also told me that 2011 would be a really good year for me, and so far it has been.
Sometimes they say that the darkest hour is just before dawn. And it's true.

Let me know if you have any prayer requests
If you have any prayer requests, please let me know. You can either post a response to this blog entry, or contact me privately. If you wish to contact me privately you can send me an email at Tothian(at)msn(dot)com. Title the subject line exactly word for word exact spelling and everything as follows in bold font: Prayer Request for Rev. Tothian
Let me know what troubles you (and/or whom ever you want me to pray for) are having and what you need me to ask God for when I pray for you, and as long as your intentions are genuinely good, and aren't evil, I will say a prayer for you. If needed and I'm able to, I'll also try to help in whatever way I can, and/or even direct you to someone who could help you.
It doesn't even matter if you and I aren't friends and perhaps even have many reasons to hate each other. As both a Reverend in the human flesh, and also the Archangel Michael in my spirit form, I work directly for God Himself, and if you need His help, I don't want anyone to be separated from having a special closeness with God, and neither does He. Like I said, as long as your intentions are genuinely good, and not evil, then if you ask me to say a prayer for you, then I will say a prayer for you.

More things to pray to God for!
This is kind of a follow up to my previous sermon, about people praying to God, which if you haven't read yet, you can do so here:
http://tothian.blogspot.com/2011/05/prayers-should-be-more-than-just-asking.html
Now, it's not that it's bad to ask God for help, as long as you're not asking anything while having evil intentions, but one thing that I would encourage people to pray to God for this - in addition to having Him send people who pray to Him for help, and you, to each other so that you can help them, thus glorifying God's good name - is also to pray for God to help others that you notice in the world in need of help. Be it a random stranger you saw on the street who seemed sad or angry, or someone you know who is sick, hurt, disabled in one way or another, going through other types of grief or miseries in their life. Or anything you can think of that is affecting good people who don't deserve to be suffering in such ways.
You could also post openly to people on other social networks you use, to let them know that if they have any prayer requests that aren't motivated by any evil intentions, that they can send them to you and let them know to have faith in God, and also that you WILL pray for them. They can ask you openly or privately, whichever they prefer. Don't be shy or embarrassed to post about that openly, nor to tell people about that in person, neither, because God will be proud of you. The Devil will hate it though, but who cares... Hahaha!
This shows God that you're a good person who isn't only thinking about yourself, that in addition to Him helping you out when you need it, that you also want such blessings to be shared with others as well.
I'm also gonna post another blog entry about this as well, but I also want to add this into this blog entry too. I want to invite any of my friends here to share any prayer requests you may have, either openly here in this blog, or if you prefer, you can also send it to me privately in an email. If you don't have it, it's Tothian(at)msn(dot)com - and again, as long as it's nothing evil, I will say a prayer for you.

This shows God that you're a good person who isn't only thinking about yourself, that in addition to Him helping you out when you need it, that you also want such blessings to be shared with others as well.
I'm also gonna post another blog entry about this as well, but I also want to add this into this blog entry too. I want to invite any of my friends here to share any prayer requests you may have, either openly here in this blog, or if you prefer, you can also send it to me privately in an email. If you don't have it, it's Tothian(at)msn(dot)com - and again, as long as it's nothing evil, I will say a prayer for you.

Prayers should be more than just asking God for help
So often, you'll hear people praying to God, asking for Him to do things for them. And at times, God will be able to do them for you. But, for people who think that praying to God just means asking Him for things, my question is: Is God, the one who is a being of unconditional love and limitless wisdom and power, Someone you just want to constantly take things from and always ask favors from and ignore Him the rest of the time? Is that something you think is fair, to just continuously take from Him? Is that how you show your love to God? The one who has done so much for all of us. Even sent His own son to suffer and die for our sins so that we can able to live forever in the Kingdom in Heaven.
If you're going to ask God for anything, then why not, for once, ask God what you could do for Him? When you pray, ask Him to give you the guidance and the power to do His will for Him here on Earth. For who ever is asking Him for help, to have God guide you to those people, or them to you, or both of you to each other. Glorifying God's good name by doing good for others, protecting people, healing the sick and hurt, saving lives, fighting evil, being a messenger of His by preaching the word of the bible, or just telling others a certain helpful philosophy, or even just making people smile and laugh, or to comfort them in times of sadness. Whatever good you feel drawn to do you know it is because God is guiding you to it. That person you come across who is in need of help in some way, that you're able to help.
There are plenty of people out there constantly praying to God for all kinds of help, all the time. So, in understanding that, why not make God's job easier and help those people? Not only is it not impossible, it's also a lot easier than you would think. God is always speaking to all of us, you just have to choose to listen. And you know He gives you the power to do what He is asking you to do, otherwise He wouldn't ask you to do it.
God,
I say these words to you right now, because I know You can read them. I want to thank You for everything good You've ever done for me, my friends, my family, and all the good people of the world. I understand that countless people are praying to you at this very moment, asking You for help. To make Your job easier, all I will ask from You is to guide me to those people so that I can help them and by doing so, prove to them Your unconditional love for those people, thus letting them know that You really do hear and answer prayers.
And may God bless all of my friends reading this.

The Other Aspects of What Really Are, But Are Ignored
People often take things at face value and ignore the other aspects of something. One of my goals isn't always to "make people think something". Rather, I intend to "show you the way I think" because I believe there's an importance to it.
There are things in the world that exist but are ignored. To give ya'll a few examples, if I were to ask most people what a magnet does, they would tell me that "It attracts". But they're ignoring the aspects of it that are neutral and also push away.
If I were to ask you how many sides there is to a coin, I'm pretty sure that mostly everyone would tell me "Two sides. Heads and Tails." Wrong. There's three sides to every coin. One side, and the other, which, ok sure, are often heads and tails. But people forget the third side of a coin, and that's the edges.

Reoccurring Dreams
It was I think around last month. I had a horrible nightmare that when I looked up in the sky, the moon was a lot closer to Earth. It kept getting closer and closer to Earth. The closer it got to Earth the faster it came at us. It was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen. It eventually crashed down into the Earth right on top of me.
When I woke up, later that day I found out from someone that later that week, that the moon would be closer to the Earth than it ever would be in I forget how long. Although on that night, when I looked up at the moon, it didn't actually look much closer, but it did look a LOT brighter.
Sometime within the past week or so, I had a dream that it was December 21st, 2012, and all the planets were aligned - not exactly as like a straight line, but, I saw the moon in the sky and it looked a bit bigger, and Venus was kind of lower than the moon, to the right. I saw Mars in the sky to the left, a little above it. It started to come at the Earth a lot faster. This one felt even worse than the moon dream.
Luckily, afterwards, I did have one of my reoccuring flying dream again. Every single time I have them they feel physically real, and each time I fully believe that it's not a dream like all the other times, and that each time it's actually happening. The way it works, is, I'm flapping either my arms like wings, or my Archangels wings, as I'm running, then I take a leap into the air, and then I can fly. Sometimes it's almost as if I'm given a challenge in some way and it becomes harder for me to fly and I'm not able to fly very high, nor fly for very long. However, what it always does is strengthen my wings, so that I can eventually in the dream fly higher and longer. My whole life, I've always believed that one day I'd actually be able to fly like that.

The First Time Tothian Saved a Life
It was January, 1996, I was just 10 years old. A bunch of kids in my town were being stupid but having fun playing in the creek and the water was frozen over when there was a lot of snow outside. The ice cracked and some girl I knew had fallen in, and immediately without thought or hesitation, I jumped in after her, and got her out. She was fine, and I was thankful for that.
As for me, my body didn't handle it too well. Actually, I got really sick and caught a pneumonia and was out of school for like over a week, maybe two but it was probably just a little more than a week.
When I kinda sorta mostly healed and back at my school again, the teacher was asking me about what happened, the incident where the girl saved me and where I got sick.
I'm like, "Wait, what?" Then the girl I saved had confessed to the teacher that she lied, and that it was really me who saved her. So the whole week or two I was away, getting sick after saving her, everyone thought that she saved ME. But, the truth did then present itself though.
And in case you're wondering, I have no regrets about this.

Oxymoronic Misconceptions, Don't Worry People I'm Here to Correct Them
I know these things because I've been around before what is was is, and my personal connection with God has opened me up to a source of wisdom and enlightenment I can't even begin to explain (LOL, well, I "can", but you get the point), but I see a lot of stupid things being said, but don't worry, because as a Messenger of God, I'm here to correct a lot of the stupidity out there in the world.
There are a lot of people out there who do things semi-similar to how I do things. Referred to as Real Life Superheroes, they're each unique in their own way. Me personally I don't really like to be called that. I'm Tothian, I'm too unique to be classified. So, I kind of get annoyed when I see people speaking for a community of people that aren't really supposed to be spoken for. There will always be something people disagree with. While there's organizations or teams within the community - as a whole, it's not an organization, and it's not a movement - and because of the vast level of diversity you'll see, nobody can represent anyone but themselves - be it for better or for worse.
Just as for better or for worse, I represent nobody but myself. And also for better or for worse, nobody else represents me. No more of that false "guilt by association" line of thinking, not even the "praise by association". Unless you want to accept the fact that "everyone" is all associated in some way, we're all part of the same story of this world.
A term, or title that is varied based on individual perception, and types and levels of involvement that vary due to the individual's motives that are formed due to personal morals, ethics, goals, life experiences, and other reasons and things that have to due with an individual - nobody can speak for "all of them". Nor should anyone who ever reads, sees, hears of, or witnesses such a thing ever be ignorant enough to group together into a classification. That's called an assumption, and you know what people make when they "assume".
Also, the other thing I wanted to bring up was the term being "Inactive" or "Retired" - there's no such fucking thing. You were born, you're alive. We all die some day but even the spirit lives on beyond that. In my mind, body, and spirit, I'm fully aware of my purpose in life, and I have been from as far back in life as I can remember. That's to protect people and fight evil. There's no such thing as "quitting". I don't even think it's even possible to just stop. Nor would I ever want to even if it was possible. This is who I am and that can't be changed. The specific mission, or specific methods can at times change, but the overall mission and who you are as a whole, never changes. If you are truly serious about this, you will find that it's not just something you decide to do one day just because it sounds like it'll be kinda fun, nor that it's the cool new thing to do. No. It's a calling. It's something you know you have to do, and find yourself reacting in situations before your mind even realizes what's going on. That's how you know it's who you are in spirit. Awake or asleep, alive or dead.
And I want ya'll to know right now that I'm not always posting things on the internet all the time, I'm not usually gonna talk about my patrols nor the things I do out there on the streets and in the world, as I do prefer some level of privacy in my life, even though at times I like to communicate with others and either goof around or share my thoughts or network or whatever. Don't EVER assume I've just stopped being me or stopped doing what I do. Like I said, it's not even a case of could it be possible or impossible - it just doesn't even exist in my dictionary. For light will always be light, even when you cannot see it, and the tree that falls in the forest that nobody hears really DOES make a sound.
If you're observant enough and a deep enough thinker, you will have even noticed that I've kinda contradicted myself in a few places in this blog. I say how you can't speak for everyone, but here I'm telling you how here's how it is for you. Well, as I've said before, the way my mind works it's hard to piece together the thoughts in human words, so I do the best I can.
Anyway, if you're wondering about that, allow me to explain. Each person is different, and is meant to be different, and I believe that that is meant to be fully known and understood. But, I still have my own bold opinions on what is and what isn't as well as what is effective and not effective. The ways of thinking that are best able to determine a person's actions, and help them understand their calling in life. That's the best way I can explain it and that's all I have for now. I hope this clears up some things for ya'll.

Beware of How Society Works, Turn the Tides
There is a kind of psychological pattern that society often repeats. It makes people feel powerful. And what I'm referring to is the process of building up, just to break down. Society builds up these large buildings and monuments, because that makes them feel powerful to create them. Then, it makes them feel even more powerful just to take them down. The people constantly idolize people and practically worship them as heroes, just to break them down and villainize them. Beware of that pattern. You see it a lot with celebrities, be it actors or politicians.
But, then there's the opposite of doing that. Think of the military process. They break you down first, both mentally, physically, you find yourself being treated worse than you've ever been treated before, you feel weaker than you've ever felt before and are put through so much strenuous exercises and are constantly exhausted. Over time, you begin to build up, you get stronger, and eventually you pick up rank and are treated with more respect. This process is better, to be broken down first, and THEN built up. Look at Jesus. He was treated like a criminal, he was tortured, beaten, humiliated, crucified on a cross for days, left there to starve and then he died. He did that and then rose from the dead so that we could have everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven, if you believe in him as your Lord & Savior and know that he died to pay your debt for your sins. He's a good example of someone who was broken down in the worst way it could've happened to anyone, just to be built up as like the King of Kings.
My advice to the people of the world - don't build yourselves up nor let others build you up so that you may be set up to be broken down. Instead, allow yourselves to be broken down first. If you're on Step 9 and you want to get to step 10, go back to step 1, then go straight to step 10 from there. You might just see something going down and then going back up again that you didn't see the first time you were walking up those stairs.
Do NOT become the delicious gourmet meal that gets eaten then turned into poop hours later after being released from the body. INSTEAD, think of how diamonds are created and be more like that.
None of this "first impression!" crap. That's a purely emotional response, it's a compulsive thing, detach yourself from that line of thinking immediately and open your mind to the divine wisdom of how things truly are and are meant to be, but are rarely seen for what it is. Make it less about the destination and more about the journey itself all together.
You may find that many things I say can't always be taken at face value. Philosophically speaking there are multiple meanings for a lot of the things I say. And I can't even begin to speak a fraction of what actually goes on in my mind. I can do what I can though. And what I can tell you is that if you open yourself up to God, that he can grant you with the divine wisdom as well.
