Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

Being Unique

Uniqueness is often a trait we seek after. Traits are what make us all who we are. We don’t always have a say about a lot of our traits. Some are quite simply a product of how and where we were raised.

Running around with scissors can be dangerous. Knowledge itself can be a dangerous concept. Yet here we are metaphorically running with scissors.

The music continues to play. We have no control over the music. It’s quite an unfortunate happenstance. In this instance, the music represents voices and hallucinations. They can be a menace for sure. So many things to hear and relate to our own existence.

Maybe it’s the little things that get on my nerves most days. I don’t know how else to put it all. Feels like a waste of time to worry about what the intrusive thoughts have to say to me.

I can wish all I want, but let’s fact it. Wishing never got me a damn in the first place.

I have a lump in my throat. It’s been there all fucking day. Pretty sure it’s anxiety related. I’m anxious about something, it could be life itself. Yeah that pretty much tracks. So much for hoping for a better day ahead. Life feels impossible right now. I don’t know how else to say it.

Maybe life has a purpose, then again maybe it doesn’t. It could be a game we end up playing in hopes to fix the shattered dream. Talk about a wild ride. When I try to make sense of it all, there doesn’t appear to be a way to make that possible.

We all have our inner demons. Sometimes such demons come in the form of hallucinations. That’s just the nature of the beast I fear. Talk about quite a mix-up at times. Nothing can make the voices go away, they like to stick around. It’s quite sad.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
