Perspectives

Met up with a friend today, got my tarots sent in from Poland, tagged along with him as he went for a kind of chinese stone fortune reading. Very interesting, how before the reading he needed to hold the bag of stones to exchange energy. It is like tarot reading where there is a connection and exchange of energy needed to season a deck for reading. The stone reading was very accurate, something new and interesting to experience =) 



Later we went to watch a movie, had dinner and went on our way home. On our way to the bus stop, there was a caucasian lady she approached and talked to me.. It was a very awkward moment.. I knew it was some religious christian-related person wanting to introduce their religion. I remembered my 2 experiences with on-street Jehovah witnesses or some kind of witness people trying to bring people to their religion. Those experiences were not pleasant ones... So when this lady approached me, I felt a sense of uneasiness..

She approached me asking how's my day and later we talked about christianity. I told her I used to go to church but no longer attending. She then went on to ask why, and I told her I wanted to experience life out of church life widen my horizon. It was a very awkward conversation as I am not used to such conversations with strangers.

It led me to think then what do I actually believe in the life out of church? What did I mean when I mentioned to widen my horizon in my perspectives? Initially I left church was because I knew that the clash of belief that having a same sex relationship is a sin, homosexual lifestyle is a sin. This fear of not belonging and unwillingness to voice it out due to the useless aftermath reactions of it led me to just quit going to church altogether. I needed to continue my growth as a person, on my inner being, and to do that I shouldn't be in an environment with views I have to address that people in church wouldn't accept or agree to.

I learnt to, over the pass months, to learn to strip the many facades of my weakened self, caused by chains of conflict in beliefs and obligations in my church life. I began to widen my view my understanding in believing that the true enitity of the great and awesome God, that friend that i used to feel, speak to, being loved by, is not just in the context of Christianity, but in this being i was created as, in the sunrise, the simple breeze, in the other person that I talk to, in songs that I listen to, in a person's sigh and when I place my a hand to my heart some nights before I sleep. The great being is in everything I experience, He is in every step of my journey watching over me, He is in everyone that I love or despise, He is in every humble being, our everyday truth. He is the everyday notions that let me yearn for something far greater than myself. I began to learn about tarot reading as a medium for self-discovery and for growth. There are so many other activities to learn and experience in life. 

Everything that I do, when done with understanding, brings forth different depths of revelations everyday. I must not be afraid to walk on in life, walk on... into the different chapters, to widen my mind's knowledge and heart's understanding. Be daring, be a fighter in what u believe in Ron! True strength and confidence is in the notion of being humble and being truthful, you have to remember that!
