Honing In On Specific Beliefs

So I can get specific.

I believe in astrology, that the planets do affect us in various ways.

I believe in sustainability, waste not want not.

I believe in a collective consciousness, we all co write this reality together.

I believe in personal responsibility, that my actions affect not only my self but others as well.

I believe in creating heaven here on earth, Nirvana is a state of mind, enlightenment is a life long process. To be enlightened is not to have arrived, but to have realized something new.

I believe humanity has been lied to for a very long time.

I believe there is an insidious agenda to numb and dumb society.

I believe we have the power to take control back, we just have to take control back of ourselves and our own thoughts.

I believe in moderation, that it is key.

I believe in learning to love myself first, and in turn I will know how to love others best.

I started thinking of all the things I believe in after I wrote yesterday. I realized that I can't prescribe to a certain sect of religion or anything and that there isn't a complete construct for what I believe. But I believe in a different things as they fit my fancy.

But the big picture, is that I believe in being the best we can be in all areas with balance and moderation.

So now I start thinking of time I go against my beliefs.

Do I do things in moderation at all times? No

Do I love myself first at all times? No

I have a lot of work to do. And I do believe that working towards these ideas that I believe in, are like building blocks. Each day builds on the last, and when I slip, it might cause me to have to walk back over the path I just created.

Which is funny, I just thought of neuro-plasticity. The creation of pathways in the brain when you learn something new.

Same idea, the more we keep pushing forward and going over old ground, even though it may be viewed as a loss of time or what not, the more these ideas and beliefs get ingrained in our minds and habits.

So I don't want to drink as much as I have been. I slow it down for a few days, then binge, I start over and go a few days longer, then slip. But each time I get back up and pursue what it is I truly want, the more the habit gets formed.

Judge no one, for everyone has their days when they go against who they are. Its about resilience and bouncing back and making more head way then you did the day before.

Be better than the day before and you'll become an expert in self reliance and  creating a life that you so desire.

La Loving Logan.

Cult: The Escape (pt. 2)

 I graduated with honors, although I didn't hand in one homework assignment all year. The math teacher would give us the answers on the tests.  It was honestly a joke. And looking back, the entirety of my schooling was limited to a dogmatic perspective. Dinosaurs never existed.  The earth was 6,000 years old. Things that seem so insane to me now.  The highs school I graduated from lost their accreditation the next year.  At least I had a diploma that was somewhat valid.  In the Cult there was this idea that you should give God at least a year.  They really wanted the kids coming up to devote their lives to Jesus. And what that really meant was serving in some capacity in the church.  Be a pastor, a Bible school teacher, a youth minister. Anything really. So long as you didn't go out into the real world and start thinking for yourself. Can't have the devil getting a grip on you. They coaxed most kids to attend the Bible college for a year. Which was a pretty penny.  I honest

Cult: The Escape (pt 1.)

 Smashing heads,  and sweaty workout drills.  Twice a day. A full game played each day.  An entire season of sportsball, or football if that's what you like to call it, condensed into one week. (I was too curious. I just looked it up.)  They call it 'Man Camp' now. And I'm dead.  If that name doesn't adequately and succinctly describe the essence of this one week devoted to God, I don't know what does.  And that's where I was 16 years ago. Headed into my senior year. I was about to embark on my last year at the only school I had ever been to. Set within the walls of my church. I had spent my entire school life inside the walls of this building 7 days a week.  That't kindergarten to 11th grade. 12 years up to this point. And 7 days a week is no exaggeration.  Monday through Friday for school. Saturday all day winning souls to Jesus and inviting people to church. Twice on Sundays and Wednesday evenings for some good 'ole fashion preaching. And if you m

From Antiquated Ideology, To Expressive Individuality

        Rites and rituals, they seem to all be gone. Or maybe not gone but have become so construed by our society that the essence of what they are has been cast by the way side. Maybe there are some that see things the way I do, but I do know I want change. I can even see its latent course beckoning for awareness. But I feel as though the dogmatic fight me because they themselves are afraid of the change. Time changes everything. To fight it just means you prolong the inevitable.  And I feel put in the dark because of your antiquated perceptions of grandeur that fell by the way side as soon as I realized religion was not all that it was told me to be. I felt put in the dark when I realized that our politics were a giant fucking game that the corruption of which only  hurts people on every level. I felt put in the dark when I realized I was utterly alone in fighting this abhorrent war between freedom of mind, thought, expression and the condescending energy snuffing vampires of the kn
