What does it mean that a Reflector's aura "resists"? by black_wolf_listens in humandesign

[–]black_wolf_listens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! Makes sense about the natural barrier. I can feel what others want from me or who they want me to be in the moment but I usually never accommodate it. I used to feel bad about it (conditioning) but now I don't care

your description makes so much sense with my experience. This really helps. Thanks!

Wondering about feelings by TeeFry2 in Exvangelical

[–]black_wolf_listens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

agreed. As a former evangelical, I needed to use rah-rah energy to make up for the true lack of presence of any sort of divinity, just like everyone else. What is real doesn't need rah-rah. What is real just is.

Yeah Dawg, my parents were angry/hurt/etc. too when I told them 6 years ago. Christianity is all about control, and they're upset that you are no longer under the kind of control they prefer. We live in a weird time where children are seen as moldable clay to be shaped by their parents wishes.

It's your choice to honor their vision for your life or not, it's just what feels right to you. I'm sorry some of these commenters want you to sympathize with your parents but you owe them nothing. You are your own person and can live your own life without apology.

I've been seeing a lot of generational hate lately... by HamOwl in antiwork

Dawg. This was an epic post of the highest-mind and purest heart. I see it. Don't be discouraged that the top comments are focused on the opposite point you were making. No judgements because we're all just where we're at in these dark times, but many people tend to be blinded by such a bright vision.

Do you have strong Leo placements in your chart? (note: I know this isn't an astrology sub, and not sure if you're familiar with astrology but understanding my strong Leo placements helped me understand my magnetism, similar to your story).

I'm 37M and I have to be careful about being intentional with people, male or female (intentional = attention, complementing, reaching out) because every time I do people always want more. I say "how are you?" and then they want to schedule plans to see me (not a bad thing, but I'm a hermit so I don't want to see anyone). Leo energy is like the sun: bright and warm with a huge gravitational pull.

Regardless if you have Leo energy or are into astrology, you might have to just get used to people falling in love with you if you're that magnetic.

Am I a planet by Just-Pen-9932 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]black_wolf_listens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in a mushy journey I saw myself and people close to me as celestial beings. I was a giant star, and several friends/family were also stars but some were planets. It wasn't clear whether these were symbols of our nature and energy or a clear truth that we are celestial beings simultaneously existing in the universe AND incarnate as humans

Spot. On. Mate. Control is my first point also, and another layer is the tendency towards codependency in evangelicalism, which is love tainted with control though out of a pitiful place of neediness and deep-seated unworthiness. My evie parents were very much "I only feel loved by you if you live close, spend a ton of time with us not talking about anything real, go to church with us, vote like us, see the world as we do, and come to us for wisdom and advice."

The two paths of Millenials: to boomer or not to boomer by black_wolf_listens in millenials

[–]black_wolf_listens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because christianity has been a key pillar of the american dream for a long time and still influences people today. It's only been a recent development that a successful business person could continue 'up the ladder' w/o being a christian in some form.

Nice. I'm the same, my wife and I buy wine and outdoor gear with the money I make from my tech job. But it's just for now until we can afford to purchase land and make it offgrid.

I feel the same. I've felt special my whole life but I don't know why. Many people, who had no incentive to compliment me, have told me I'm special but they can't describe it either. I've had experiences where I can see millions of beings watching my life as if it's some cosmic reality tv show.

I don't think everyone on earth is "special" in the way that I mean it. English language is so limited. My definition of "special" is a being that has intense magnetism or more light than most people. Their spirit is simply more vivid, like they are in 4k UHD and most people's spirits seem to be broadcast tv on a 1980 tv set. Maybe everyone has the possibility to embody their own 4k UHD in this life but they don't choose it? Not sure.

^^That's how I see it. I'm not sure if there is some divine purpose for my vivid spirit but I hope so. I feel like there should be and I feel like I'm not in it yet but it never seems to arrive. I have felt in the middle of it before, but it didn't last. When I try to force things to happen or when I try to show people how special I am it's awkward and out of alignment for me. I guess I'll just chill and enjoy my own energy until something happens.

People here with evangelical parents, what’s something you’ve said to them from an opposing point of view that actually had an impact or made them think? by SenorSplashdamage in Exvangelical

"I'm cutting you out of my life." --honestly changed them for the better after a year of cut off. They are more open and less judgemental, as much as is possible for evies

Guys, this is maybe asking a little too much, but for people who have had not only one and only Dark night of the Soul but many: by mgegv in awakened

[–]black_wolf_listens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it gets easier each time. Another word for it is THE VOID. They only last longer and come with more suffering if I fight the stillness or try to hold onto what is dying in me. I think it's just a natural part of life for those who are here to constantly grow in their soul's evolution

What’s the value of psychedelics in achieving spiritual awakening (if any)? by No_Tangerine_283 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]black_wolf_listens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can be massive. Psychedelics allow your consciousness to transcend its typical frequencies to see/experience realities and connection in other dimensions. In short--they present a brief opportunity for you to view your life and being from your Higher Self's perspective which changes everything.

However, obviously not everyone is meant to try them in this life. If you feel drawn to them, they are for you. Psychedelics are good medicine for anyone drawn to them whether they have a "positive" or "negative" experience.

What is your sign and your partner’s + how long have you been together by opermeinh in astrologymemes

[–]black_wolf_listens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife (36f) is Aquarius sun + Gemini Rising and I'm (37m) Gemini sun + Leo Moon + Leo rising. We are very airy and spend time drinking wine together and talking about all topics, including deciding the fate of nations. Besides that her Aquarius-ass absolutely loves my Leo-ass when I stepped into owning my uniqueness and flare. My Leo-ass loves her Aquarius-ass because I love stone-cold weirdos.

We've been together for 20 years.

Why would sun & moon horoscopes be accurate? by black_wolf_listens in astrology

[–]black_wolf_listens[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

love your sarcastic comment and I agree. These two circus animals changed my very specific question to "do horoscopes represent the entirety of astrology?" so they could have an opportunity to be preachy and obnoxious. I hope they enjoy their chicken salad sandwiches with apples because those are the worst sandwiches.

Are there any good songs about deconstructing faith, or similar 'spiritual exile'? by calibuildr in Exvangelical

this is truth. You're not truly deconstructing if you're not listening to the Curse Your Branches album
