I just want to say that. You are powerful. I was thinking earlier today about struggling. Everyone struggles at some point in their life, and sometimes you struggle so hard it becomes a WAY of life. Survive is not the same as thrive, though.

When I think about all the events in a human life that can come to pass, any human life - the wide array of emotional experience from the depths of despair holding a loved one as they die, to the heights of anger when you can literally hurt yourself, or other people, to the expansive ecstasy of falling in love or building bonds with people...it amazes me.

And if you are still alive, being human, right at this moment, you are powerful. You are full of all the hopes and dreams of everyone who went before you, and really, no matter what you do, you carry those forward - or they buoy you. It's not the weighty heaviness of expectation that you carry, it is the joy of their success that resulted in you that gathers behind you like the undertow of an ocean wave, and everything you are is a manifestation of that surge of life.

I think that is so beautiful. I feel like right now, everything and everyone is so beautiful, even our lumpy earth.

Thank you.

spacecadetglow · 04-08-2011, 10:56 PM

Hell yeah, girl. Rawk on. You're my bottom ♥♥♥♥♥♥ forever and always. Uh ohs, will the Morlocks be offended that I used "♥♥♥♥♥♥" as a term of affection?!

No but srsly, I love you lots and lots and lots and lots.

LostMyMap · 04-08-2011, 11:01 PM

You're pretty darned awesome Laks.

VinceG · 04-09-2011, 12:31 AM

No. YOU are powerful.

Lakshyayidhi Lakshmihi · 04-09-2011, 05:47 PM

Mwwwwwuah. Ya'll be stronger.

Cochonette · 04-09-2011, 06:27 PM

Yes, indeed, Laksh. And you know what? We are even MORE powerful when we combine forces and form spiritual alliances. I'm not sure that any of us would know very deeply the meaning of "love" otherwise, and love is my driving force.

POWER means what DOMinates our experience of the world. So everything is powerful, everything has its inner dom. =P Joy is a matter of finding that power we wish to be dominated by: it's about finding both our own inner dom and inner sub. LOL

Okay, I'll shut up now. HOMEWORK.

Nice! yin / yang. I have this symbol tattooed across my lower back. I forget because I can't see it, but I got the damn thing to remind myself of that power and strength. 12 years ago, now...

"I'm just another incarnation of you, that's the reason we can move - in UNISON!"

ChrisGinsburg · 04-09-2011, 07:33 PM

Good stuff Lakshy. When I used to work at a treatment center I have on many occasions seen people go from trying to kill themselves to laughing a few moments later when a revelation blindsided them. There is nothing quite like seeing something like this because the revelations are always in tune with just how powerful we all are. All that is required is to simply remember our strength.

I was beating myself up over an internal conflict a bit ago. Then I explored it deeper, and it lifted.

Wow that was a great post. Just what I need to read. Really grateful for that

Does anybody know how Lakshy's doing?

AaronB · 09-10-2011, 12:41 AM

It's a good thing Copernicus did not discover this. They'd of burned him at the stake for sure if he said the Earth is not round and gave them this sketch (from the article mentioned in the OP):

This is just Fascinating

isn't it. Thanks! for Capturing this...

SethWilliams · 09-12-2011, 07:06 PM

That was amazing, thank you.

I think sometimes we lose perspective on how boring life would be if we could throw away the challenge, how empty it would be.

We are powerful.

srikant · 09-14-2011, 07:36 PM

id like to share that power for me means to push myself in the areas i want to. If i make up my mind to stay still in a meditative pose for 30 mins and achieve it,my power(self will) increases, similarly if i decide to do 50 push ups and i do it then my self confidence increases accordingly. Everyone has power ,but it needs to be exercises on a constant basis( i.e. pushing urself and expanding ur comfort zone). If we forget to exercise our power, then it stagnates and we attach ourselves to the belief that we are impotent. Another important thing to remember is that building power takes time. It is a marathon, not a sprint. So one should forgive oneself if one is not able to make it the first few times.

On another perspective, there are few things in life over which we have no power, i.e. other people's reactions, weather, financial security. So its better not to be bothered about these things.

jbsmith · 09-16-2011, 11:52 AM

Great post - I remember well, since I was young, going through periods of just surviving followed by very powerful points where things became so easy, clear and enjoyable.

For me, ever since I was young I learned that there will be days or even weeks where you need to focus inward, re-charge your batteries, put your plans on hold and just live. The key is knowing that there will be periods where you can leverage your creativity, energy, spirit and ability to its maximum, then learning to guide those times in productive ways.
