Some more songs I like In the middle, it often makes me cry the energy of the womans prayer... I have some warrior energy, being earthly is spiritual, kindness comes from strength You can tell some of these rappers really know about pain, surrender and the spiritual as well as the earthly, looks can be deceiving, From the director of Hayao Miyazaki films joe hiashashi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJaoeBUWCZw&feature=share These songs are a celebration of various nature things, eg the sun, sungazing is one of the most powerful energetic practices, connecting to nature brings in the most powerful and purest forms of energy, connecting to things through the soul, like dance, music, celebration opens the heart

I dont see anything wrong with what I wrote, sure go ahead and laugh like your superior, but I make art based on what I feel and very much feel to be animal spirits, and I feel a dragon spirit, and for the artwork to be about manifestation. please tell me what is so weird and crazy about that. as usual writing on the taobums is like asking people who know nothing about what your trying to say to insult you for no reason.

Well its nice to fit in somewhat but most people i feel very different too, and i dont mean that in an arragant seperate way but we dont relate very much I am very soulful, and if i want to connect with someone i feel like i need to share my real self and not spend time thinking about what should i not say, and what should i censor, I dont know, with some people I can censor a little with others i feel the need to speak a little on some topics.. but it is kind of difficult to completely shut my mouth, makes me feel repressed, like im not loved for who I am. Anyways people that spend lots of time thinking about spiritual topics is cool and all as long it is balanced Maybe it just seems very weird and strange to 99% of people but does that make it weird. Maybe I needed to focus on "grounding" a little bit, but realising how much time i can spend by myself, how strange this is to others, makes me think maybe there is nothing actually wrong with spirituality, yes this sounds strange to people on this forum, but I felt I was becoming imbalanced.. I dont know is happiness found through constant chasing of goals, kind of, but kind of not too... are these thoughts only made when feeling sad.. I dont know.. yeh maybe it is better to think of tao as nature or love than other words as intention will happen and is significant

neutrality is not 100% reject all emotions, nor 100% keep all thoughts and emotions, spend some more time thinking about this and that... -

maybe i should mix some real meditation with this spontaneous movement allow the mind to do what it wants -
Well harmony, purpose, happiness were my goals before, but attaining tao seems to be more of a goal now im more grounded, but theyre kinda similar anyways, i guess tao isnt denying the self, but not completely affirming it either, shutting off mental noise that is unneccessary..and also to help the world and make it a better place, im not sure, but maybe being a magician/wizard is part of my destiny but im not the one doing it 100%, I also want to be as good a person as I can for the benefit of myself and others.

Because I want to pretty much "Eagle Time" So I drew my face, connected to a mountain, decided to connect to mountains for a while.. On the Right side is an Eagle, 3 months ago, I got an intuitive messages about a future wife and I would need to use an eagle to set this person free, I also got the message about who it was, but this was messing with my head, I was really unsure if I was deluding myself or not, but I kinda keep getting the message, and maybe it makes sense because Im 23 and cultivating for hours everyday, was pretty much in solitude and not wasting sexual energy for a year at a time, maybe a gift I dont know...also Im in a place where maybe its easy to fall off life path and meet another girl easy, anyways I was really worried about morality and whether I was deluding myself so I put a star their I think intuitively representing ancestors and I dont want to know who its for, but if its with the will of heaven etc for it to be done I put a pyramid there, keep getting a message/half want to create sustainable buildings like pyramid and on the right, I drew my brother as I felt guided to put energy to him, and I asked him, earlier if I ever feel i should, do you want me to, and he said yeh..so I choose green intuitively, and then I write some words like prayer intuitively on his leg, like a poem about love and understanding he is strong, then kept putting green, I drew him with his body as hercules and an eagle on his shoulder, then I pretty much went over it, and didnt tell him..trying to do subtle stuff a little. "Unconditional love for my self, my family and the world" Felt guided to make this vision, also wanted to improve the quality of my paintings, still needs much improvement technique wise, but also starting with oil, I felt guided to pink in the heart side of my body with many earths, and gold all the rest of the painting, and some white. After I made the painting, I got many epiphanies the next few days about self acceptance, and things that make me think im not a good person, eg when I havent got much to give, or when Im messy or dont care about rules etc.. I fly free from all the illusions of limitation Improvement on the painting, just went back to it, maybe in my cycle of new light, like every 2 weeks or so.. and for one hour was putting gold around the earth, maybe im powerful enough to heal the world, or maybe something comes into me and does it I dont know... -

Is sex like full intercourse, much bigger a deal than modern society thinks
skydog posted a topic in General Discussion
past cultures, past societys placed a much bigger deal on sex without a condom sex would create a baby full intercourse makes me scared like I should only have it with someone Im with long term or married I know this sounds really weak, but is it really? Like not wanting to kill someone is also weak, like you dont have balls according to some people if you feel too much and wouldnt want to kill someone.. please validate my thoughts, just joking haha -
Yes, also some people may spend more time thinking about morality, or less so then things will edit..etc
-
I see this is intuition, but this can also depend on energy, as intuition is connected to personality somewhat..
-
Hey I dont know what your problem is. i didnt ask for your rudeness It has been three very rude comments from you. I express myself freely without any shame and bear my soul with true honesty something that hardly any one got the guts to do. I channel spirits when i talk. And I do not edit my comments for you, but solely due to my intuition. Once again I did not ask for your rudeness,

Symbolic Eagle Meaning I've been seeing eagles and moles in my meditations lately. When creatures persist in my awareness, I know it's time to write a page on them. Plus, I've gotten several requests from readers of this site wanting to know more about symbolic eagle meaning, so here are a few thoughts. I've had the luxury of observing Golden Eagles in the wild. Like our nature-inclined forebears, the sheer size of these creatures is mind-numbing. Size does matter to the Native mind. It is the mammoth size of the eagle that, in part, wins its title as the King of the Birds in myth and lore. In spite of its enormous size, the eagle still takes flight, seemingly effortlessly. This is the first of many symbolic cues from the eagle about perception (not judging a book by its cover) and, not allowing the illusion of limitation to ground us in our flight. What else matters when considering symbolic eagle meaning? Here are a few attributes and keywords associated with Eagle Medicine... Symbolic Eagle MeaningsOpportunity Protection Guardianship Masculinity Dominance Control Freedom Community Command Action Authority Skill Focus Determination Vision Power Liberation Inspiration Ruler Judgment Native wisdom also honors the eagle for their opportunistic ways. It's not that they're skilled hunters (they are), but the go about gaining their needs in ways that are most efficient. This is a lesson for conserving resources. Work smarter, not harder. Some Native American (plains tribes) refers to the eagle as an earthly incarnation of the great Thunderbird spirit. Legend further states that lightning bolts shoot from the eyes of the bald eagle, and with the beating of its expansive wings, rain is conjured from the skies. That's easy to envision. Coming from the mindset that all energy is interconnected, an average wingspan of 5-7 feet (in golden's and bald's) could understandably cause some massive energetic ripples in the cosmos. Even prompt rain. I love how eagles as rain bringers segways into the cleansing theme of water. And, we see from the Native mind that eagle feathers are tribal tools resonating patterns of healing within ritual. Do a little research into Native wisdom, and you will find the eagle is invoked for revitalization, creation and healing purposes. I like to think this deals with the eagle's connection with water. In this vein of thought, we can contemplate the healing messages the eagle may offer us in our daily life. When the eagle soars into our psychic vision, it may be a sign of getting prepared for symbolic cleansing rains. What needs cleaning in our lives? Of course, as rulers of the sky, eagle meaning is connected with the air element, which symbolizes communication and thought. All bird totems speak to us about higher thinking, dreams, and mental liberation. As king of the birds, the eagle's message of mental acuity is super-dominant. Visually, everything about the eagle's appearance is sharp. Streamlined, sleek, chiseled. This prompts our deeper minds to hone our thoughts and skills. The eagle commands us to tailor our intelligence and talents in a form that best suits our needs. We all have inner abilities, but when the eagle shows up - it's a clear sign it's time to use these abilities in a laser-like fashion to bring about focused change in our lives. To revisit the Thunderbird association, eagles are said to bring down lightning with the storms. This makes me think of flashes of insight, surges of power - electrifying vision. I also like to look into the eyes of the eagle. There I see the lightning. I see the sun itself living in those all-seeing bright yellow orbs. Do these observations this strike a chord with you? If so, take flight with the eagle meaning by experimenting with these visualizations: Eagle Totem EncouragementsContemplate the power cased in the heart of the eagle. Synchronize your own heart beat with that of the eagle's - visualize each pulse as a flash of lighting - an impulse of divine thought. Picture the power of the gods clapping like thunder with each flap of their wings. With each crack of thunder consider barriers and blockages in your life being shattered. Then see the great seven foot wingspan of the eagle growing even longer in your vision in order to swipe away the rubble - making all trace of limitation disappear. Look into the eyes of the eagle, and see the dawning sun shine clarity upon the dawning of your own awareness. These eyes are like a light into your own contemplative vision - let them illuminate your from the inside out. These kind of powerful connections can liberate on so many levels. But, you don't have to take my word for it. Consider our ancestors perspectives on the eagle meaning for more inspiration. Eagle Meanings in Cultural Lore Alchemy symbolic eagle meaning: A representation of prime matter, the start of an alchemical operation. The eagle spreads its wings over the step into creation and fans the fire, encouraging growth of new matter. Aztec and Mayan meaning of eagle: The eagle carries the veil of night and dark over our existence and awareness. It's affiliated with the dawning sun, and is a magnificent celestial power, able to shine light into our world. Celtic animal symbolism of eagle: Associated with the symbolism of water, and the intuitive oracle water serves as. Perhaps because our Celtic kin observed their magnificent ability to see into waters with miraculous clarity. Like scrying. I like to think the Celts skimmed across the waters of their existence invoked the eagle for assistance in "diving in" for treasures of wisdom. Christian eagle meaning: Associated with the Christ himself. Because the eagle seems to easily ascend the skies, looking into the sun with unblinking focus, we relate symbolism of Christ's unblinking faith in the Way, the Truth, and the Light. We also see themes of renewal (baptism) as the eagle plunges the soul of man into the sea, and lifts them out renewed and cleansed. Greek meaning: Another reference as a solar animal, the eagle is symbolic of authority, rulership and virility. It's depicted with thunderbolts in each talon. In my mind, this seems like a phallic reference would bolster sexual energy as well as warrior status (energy, thrust, courage, bravery, fearlessness). I get a confirmation of this by Zeus's strong affiliation with the eagle in myth. I could go on forever about the symbolic meaning of the eagle. It's an inspiring creature, so it's only natural that every human eye that has witnessed it would be enraptured by its regal presence. The eagle imparts spectacular wisdom. Take purposeful, meditative time to connect with the eagle, and discover what kind of glorious insight it can share with you. Last word on the symbolic eagle meaning: "Fly Higher."

Lion Spirit Animal By Elena Harris, SpiritAnimal.com Editor 720 50 35 69.7K In the realm of spirit animals, the lion wins the prize for most relentless fighter in the face of life challenges. The lion spirit animal represents courage, strength in overcoming difficulties. The presence of this power animal could also mean that something “wild” or difficult to control is happening. As such, lions symbolizes emotions that are difficult to manage, such a anger or fear. Lion Totem MeaningThe lion as a spirit animal or totem symbolizes: Strength, assertiveness, personal power A common meaning for the lion spirit animal is predatory feelings, such as anger, aggression directed at someone else or towards you Personal struggle to deal with these feelings Lion spirit animals warn about a threatening situation or event in your life Lion spirit animal, symbol of personal strength and courageThe lion spirit animal is generally associated with a representation of personal strength. If the lion appears powerful to you, its presence as a spirit guide can be interpreted as a positive representation of your self-confidence or personal power. As such, lions point to qualities of strength, courage, assertiveness. Lions are also animals who dominate other animals in nature. Remember as an example the expression “the lion, king of the jungle”. When a lion appears as your power animal, it could reflect your ability to lead others or tendency to dominate in relationships or at work. When lion spirit animals warn about challengesThis spirit animal could point to one of your weak spots or a difficult situation you’re experiencing. The lion animal spirit guide is perhaps showing you the way to deal with the issue and keep going with the courage it also embodies. Lions could also represent an authority that may feel overpowering or a conflicting relationship with power and authority. When you see a lion as a spirit animal, it could symbolize external power, authority, forces that dominate or rule parts of your life. For instance, if you dream about a scar or threatening lion, it may remind you that you need to deal with an overbearing boss, partner or teacher in your waking life. Lion spirit animal, symbol for anger & personal struggleSeeing your lion spirit animal could be an invitation to control your temper or your moderate aggressive impulses. For instance, observe if you could really listen to what people have to say before striking back at them. Or explore how to express your needs or anger more openly and constructively to reduce your level of frustration. If you are dreaming of being chased by a lion, it may represent a situation that brings about personal struggle. Common dream scenarios with threatening lions are as follows: A lion suddenly appears in your dream. You feel threatened by this wild animal known for devouring its prey with no mercy. The lion is now preying on you. You’re trying to escape, but it still behind you, chasing you like you’re about to get devoured. Dream interpretation: Being chased by a lionThis lion dream scenario is classic. Dreaming of being chased by a lion is one of the most common themes featuring this creature in the dream world. The lion chasing you generally connects to the struggle the dreamer is experiencing regarding feelings of anger or aggression in waking life. The dream about your lion spirit animal could point to anger you may feel towards someone or aggression that is directed at you. Being chased by a lion in a dream could be a warning from your animal totem that you’re struggling with these feelings and how to express them. The lion totem could mean that you’re having difficulties dealing with a situation where someone is mean or aggressive with you. Scary dreams about lions Terrorized by your lion spirit animal?If you are terrified by a lion, reassure yourself. The dream is expressing in strong images what you feel inside. It is a symbolic representation of strong psychological or emotional tensions you may experience in your life. Dreaming about a lion in this way is an invitation to examine what’s happening in your life that is causing tension and despair. Most likely, you’re facing a challenging situation or behavior that is hard to comprehend at a conscious level and the lion appears as a spirit animal to help. It may be too hard to deal with or seem unacceptable to you and therefore is rejected out of your awareness, a bit like a protection, a defense mechanism. The presence of your lion spirit animal could be a warning to pay attention to a situation or person who’s creating worries or concerns for you. On a positive note, a terrifying lion is likely indicating that you’re in the process of becoming more aware of the issues at hand. It works as a reminder that whatever is bothering you in your waking life needs to come out in the open to be dealt with. Bring forth the courage that lion totems symbolize. Lion spirit animals in dreams: When the lion bites youA lion that bites you in your dream could be a warning from your spirit animal and signify that you’re feeling overwhelmed in your waking life. The source of worries could be about feelings you or someone else may have or a situation that is particularly challenging. The image of the lion bite is a strong call to look at what’s going on in your life that could feel threatening or dangerous before it really “bites” you. Another interpretation of such lion dream is to ask yourself what is dominating your life these days and see if you can bring more balance. Scary images of lion spirit animals and the “shadow self”When you are scared by the presence of your lion spirit animal, whether it’s in dreams or in waking life, this could be an invitation to look at your “shadow self”. The shadow self is a part of yourself that you prefer to keep “in the shadow” or the dark. In other words, a part of yourself you would hide or reject because it’s not likeable, you or other people think it’s unacceptable, not worthy, etc. Your spirit animal indicates the need to look at these aspects of yourself and resolve the tensions inner conflicts may create. For instance, by just starting to acknowledge parts of your “shadow self”, looking at them, perhaps understanding what they are about, what they are connected with, you can start bringing a better understanding of yourself.

lion must shout his mouth
