Submission is the ability to enjoy life even knowing you will die. It’s being able to look death in the face and allowing yourself to be scared without completely dismissing the possibility of something better on the other side, or maybe just something different.
This is so deep and so true at the same time. I have relatives in the health field who've shared accounts of patients who "came back" and recalled events in other parts of the hospital that they could not have known about unless they left their body.
So I absolutely believe that we continue in some form after death. If not, then we'd better be somewhere else in a few billion years when the Sun expands to envelop the Earth, and all life here is extingushed.
This also brings up the power of intuition in my life. To me, intuition is like a gentle wind blowing against your back. Strong enough for you to notice it (thus "EverNoticeThat"), but faint so as not to overpower your free will.
nice to know that about your name. It wasn’t obvious but I guess I felt a little wind hinting at such meaning.
I make most decisions based on informed intuition so I can relate. I assess the information with all my best skepticism and imagination and then I trust my instinct.
It hasn’t ever really made me regret it. Sometimes in the short term it’s a disaster but it seems to always lead to me becoming more of who I want to be 😊
Submission or obedience to God is definitely not easy to accept especially when we are full of pride. Took me decades before I could submit and eventually stop being a lukewarm Catholic. Ah getting older indeed gives us wisdom...
I felt a very strong influence from you in the way I used two or three words here, “developments” is one. Also you got me much deeper into the concept of narratives, so thank you! 🙏
Right now I’m doing my best to process my own narrative as you can probably see by my message to you.
I am trying to observe the logical cause and effect of things and identity the emotions that invokes in me while also considering as many other possible explanations and also not getting too attached to any of it.
I feel trying to build narratives with others is a level of magnitude trickier than doing it on your own, especially when you are trying to be honest with yourself and honor all signs without running away from anything. But I feel two levels of magnitude more capable than I have ever been !
I absolutely understand how this goes. Especially when I was neck deep in a 7 minute long project that ended up taking 2 hours...
Yeah... It ended up working out just was a pain.
Had to do more work as the previous idiot did everything they could To just not do what they needed to do.
So I got to spend a long time cleaning up all this sealant and just totally wrecked somebody's massive amount of effort that actually wasn't even needed.
Yep that's right I just needed to change a water pump. That's what was leaking all along and whoever was trying to seal all these other connections was actually doing it all backwards.
I absolutely did not submit to anything except for my patients. There were absolutely times where I decided that I was just going to take a break and have a smoke break! Let's watch YouTube videos for a minute or three.
That small little job ended up taking some extra time but it was actually completely worth it to do it right.
Sometimes instead of submission you just have to throw a big huge fit and demand things work out your way. Even if that molehill just turned into a mountain I'm going to grab a sledgehammer and turn the mountain into sand....
But then again I'm Shoshone. We are born this way.... I came into this world screaming and full of rage and I will leave this world kicking and fighting....
there’s no problem in insisting on things you know are possible or think might be possible! It’s when you know they aren’t or that they cost more than you are willing to sacrifice or you end up becoming something you don’t want to be to achieve what you are trying to achieve that this kind of submission can help.
Like I know that not taking care of my health is going to catch up with me eventually so if I want to continue to feel good I need to submit to the idea of taking care of my health.
Yo I’d love to learn more about Shoshone. I know literally nothing about native culture except what I learned in history books and a few random prophecies I’ve watched on YouTube.
Wow!! Those are some observations. I agree with most but I think you got the detachment one wrong. 'Wrong' may not be the correct word but I think misunderstood is the correct way of putting it.
I think it does benefits the person but in a way only he can enjoy or understand. My understanding is when someone is detached from all, he /she is simply on a a higher dimension not physically but mentally. And the understanding of world and interaction changes.
I think words are very tricky here. We may be talking about the same thing but in different ways. It’s hard to tell. Life feels a bit like a game to me. Sometimes it’s a fun game and sometimes not. I try to make it fun at least. There are things I want to experience but I feel like whatever will happen will happen and I just can make of that what I will.

I know how hard it may be to derive joy from a few tings that we do especially when it comes to making money but at the same time, we just have to find joy in it.
We have to keep pushing because we gotta survive. Only pushers last long and succeed

I've lost track of how often it's saved me.

"So my observations are far more relevant that the left brained academically trained atheist will ever admit."
Sassy.
Love your insights about narratives here, bro!
I aim for sass!

I'm native American royalty. An unpapered papered mutt.

It's just like that, sometimes when we get too lazy and our heart doesn't do anything, it seems like we've done it a little and our body aches.
