Inspiration

It's true what they say.. everyone has a muse.

Your muse is not necessarily a person. It can literally be anything that inspires your inner soul. An entity, an emotion.. a place.

I think my muse is my room :) I haven't had the urge to write on GemWorld for a long time. But just now, sitting on my bed, in my room, with the familiar cloudy skies poised to burst forth with their rainy treasures.. I just felt like letting loose.

I don't miss the old days. I used to think that I would. Terribly. But I don't. I cherish them. And every moment that I have lived from my birth till now. As far as memory serves, there have been very few moments in my life that I would want to erase from my timeline. They are far and few and looking at the world around me at present, I know we have been blessed a million times over by the Almighty. There isn't enough thanks that I could give for all the blessings and the protection thus far.

The world is on the brink of an annihilation of epic proportions. If a subcontinental war ensues, it will spell the end of the planet. Nuclear power in the hands of the emotionally driven is a recipe for disaster. Yet the pseudo powers, that think they control the world, are lost in their own reveries of global dominance and greater arms sales. Who will they sell to when the world is gone?

There is a TedEx Video from renowned atmospheric scientist Brian Toon that captures the finality of this encounter vividly.

Brian Toon - TedEx

It's a graphic and deeply unsettling description of what would happen in the fall out of a nuclear encounter in the Subcontinent. The fall out will be massive and all encompassing for the whole planet and in 60 days the world would run out of food.

We, the rather sorry, misinformed, unfortunately unaware, decidedly stupid, human race have now crawled in to a hole so deep that one hand is not aware of what the other hand is doing. Politicians and Capitalists are solely focused on increasing personal wealth and power. They will have fun with it in hell.. and it's coming.

May the Almighty have mercy on our souls and give us a chance to redeem ourselves.

Peace.

Know

You think she's predictable.. that you know her.. that you can control her through her guilt. You think she's immature... socially inept.. that she doesnt see the true nature of people.. that she trusts too easily. You think she doesnt have any friends.. none that are tried and tested and true... she makes friends of strangers on the street and airplanes and trains.. you cant see how thats real. You think she's weak. You keep trying to chip away at her armour looking for weak spots where it can hurt... where the knife can be twisted for maximum impact. You gave up on her a long time ago.
You thought she could be broken. You're wrong.
She was made to conquer mountains. Brave, strong, fierce.
She was made to nurture and protect. Soft, gentle, caring.
Shes anything but predictable.. akin to a force of nature, she swings between the polar extremes of human existence... you'll never know how far she can go and for how long.. she wont be controlled by anything but her own truth.
She believes in trust.. in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.. of looking actively for the good.. the light.. but she has the strength to walk away when her trust is broken.
She doesnt test her friends. She simply gives until she runs out of giving. She learnt very early on that having no expectations was the wisest thing to do. But she is clear on the equation. Quid pro quo. If she doesnt feel valued in return, she moves on.
She feels her soul connect to strangers and embraces the connection with wonder.. not fear.. there is no place for fear in life. She believes with all her heart that the Almighty has a plan.. that there is always a celestial reason for every word that is spoken to her and for every person that crosses her path.. she looks for the deeper meaning in all her interactions. Regular humans cant see beyond the physical, material manifestation of life.. she cant stop seeing the spiritual realm in everything around her. And when she sees light buried deep within her loved ones souls.. she wants to release it for the betterment of the world.
She will prevail...

Little people

Apparently i have little people inside my head.

And they are on a roll.

Constantly talking.. making me think.. and basically pulling me into an alternate universe that only exists inside my own imagination.

Its a nice place. Lots of fun. I'm quite popular. There are a lot of me's. Anyhoo thats what it is.

Awake

I'm awake. But i dont like it. I want to go back to numb sleep. I realize i've been numbly sleeping for a long time. It's nice.. and painless. Awake is a whole different ballgame.

All of a sudden i'm feeling. Sometimes the feeling supercedes the need to breathe. Then the brain screams.. and the lungs expand. My mind is not the issue. Its the physical realm. It's trying to suck me in.. trying to dig it's sharp claws into my weak weak flesh.. it couldn't do that while i was asleep. Now i'm awake and vulnerable.. open to suggestion.. to the temptation of experiencing something new.. like a new taste.. a new flavor. Its the peak of existence come to collect its dues. Today we stand at the fork.

The fork is presented mid life. Its when u choose.. you choose a realm. You choose between the celestial and the physical.. between the unseen vs. the seen.. between belief and physical reality. The choice is not clear or easy. Either faith wins or fact. Its never both.

And no matter what path you choose to tread.. the sacrifice is always soul shattering. The sacrifice demands blood of the heart or the soul.. but blood shall flow.. it shall be spilt. The tears are mandated. It's a rite of passage. And the Almighty silently watches.

He's watching to see whether our love for him, our faith in his heaven.. whether that can stand the test of time.. whether we safeguard our souls for his hereafter.. or do we finally reject all that we have learnt about heaven and hell and judgement and forgiveness and just focus on the here and now and instant gratification.

It seems black and white doesnt it. You've obviously never heard a hip hop song and swayed to its beat 😊 life is so beautiful.. a kaleidescope of mesmerising colors.. shapes.. textures.. sounds.. tastes.. all you have to do is reach out and touch it.. one touch.. one taste..
"Twas grace that brought me here thus far... and grace will bring me home.. "

The innermost realm

#TheAlmightysDailyMasterpiece #nofilter 


I wake up everyday with a deep seated yearning in my soul. It runs deep.. into the darkest part of my being where no light has ever shone. I never went that far into my inner self before.. its like coming face to face with a stranger. I dont recognize the setting.. the place.. myself. Its as if i have never known my real self.. never known the depths or extent of emotion that i could experience.. as if my entire existence has been spent encased in a shell.. behind a wall.. numb.. safe.. from everyone and everything. Why would i change that?

Its not rational or logical.. both traits that i have always held in high regard. Thats when the awareness dawns.. this other part of me has no relation to logic, rationality.. or even reality. Its like a strange new realm in my soul.. a new dominion screaming to be explored.. but demanding a sacrifice.. as always. A sacrifice that requires an outright rejection of all that i held to be true thus far.. and its been a long thus far. A sacrifice requiring tears of blood.. for it would have the power to rip away everything.. no more status quo.. no certainty.. no going through the motions anymore.

It would herald a new era of experiencing the world.. destroyed from the ground up.. decimated in the process of birth of this new realm.. a realm which i would have to spend the time i have left in this life building brick by brick. The questions abound.. is it worth it..? An ephemeral moment  of unlimited joyous celebration of life.. tasting the very fibre of existence so fully that it explodes out of every atom that comprises your soul.. waking up to possibilities heretofore unexplored and unexperienced.. being whole.. free.. immune to judgement.. however, carrying the risk of being a nomad in the physical realm of reality.. of losing all that ever cared in any form and not gaining anyone that would last forever.. isnt forever supposed to be forever? Why isnt it?

I understand now, as i pull out of this secret part of my soul, why immortality was not granted by the Almighty. Its his mercy to release our souls from the pain of existential want imposed upon us by nature.. cest la vie.. #sunrise

Final Chapter.. and finally.. the big guy grabbed Mr. Sun by the scruff of its neck n pulled 'im right outta hiding.. throwin' 'im headfirst into the murky blue depths of the morning sky.. welcome to the new world!

They say life begins anew every morning.. so even if ur soul is shattered and ur heart lies broken in a million unmendable pieces.. know that by the time the sun rises tomorrow.. the pain will fade.. it'll be a glimmer of a memory.. and you WILL bury it.. deep inside.. until you forget it exists. You WILL move on. You WILL forget all the associations you had built around the mirage in ur head of that perfect life with that perfect someone.. life is not kind. Its not meant to be. Life is a trial. Its a test. And we.. the silly miscast players.. keep seeking perfection and balance and continuity.. immortality!

Nothing lasts. Not people.. not things.. not time.. Nothing! The inescapable truth is.. you are as irrelevant today to the world at large, as you were the day you were born.. as you will be the day you end. However, the human psyche cant deal with that reality. It HAS to feel important.. relevant. It HAS to feel like it matters.. to someone.. to anyone. And so it spends its entire existance.. searching.. for that elusive joy of being one with the so-called other half.. being complete and whole. What a myth! What a farce!

Expecting so much from another incomplete soul! What a sad sad recipe for disaster.. Search within. If it doesnt lie in you.. well.. you're screwed 😊 love yourself.. ignite the inner joy.. remove the negatives from your environs.. and learn to shine.. ALL by yourself. No one else gives a shit. Good morning 😊

Passage

https://www.instagram.com/p/BM-nJCqDLIs/

The weather has officially changed 😊 chilly breezes and a hot cuppa tea. Can you see the steam? I tried but it i dont think i quite cracked it 😊 winters is always a strange season for me.. its a time of newness and change.. there is always some shift in the universal algorithm as it applies to my universe and it always happen in this time of death, decay and subsequent rebirth. Its a time of dreams.. of fantasies.. of the intermingling of dreams with reality.. of hope that we can have all that we desire and the world exists naught but for our benefit.. its a time of creation.. of feeling powerful and conversely powerless.. having the steel to reach out and take and being helpless in the face of the overwhelming desire to take it.. It. The elusive shimmer of explosive joy.. of feeling complete every morning.. of a wholeness that initiates from the soul and flows outwards until it fills every dark corner of your spiritual being with light... of that piece of you that was missing.. what would one label it? Selfishness? Survival instinct? The hand of destiny? ... what does one do on a crossroads where the choice to take the desired path is not solely in ones hands.. where the cost is vague and unclear... where certainty in any form doesnt exist.. but you are given a moment of joy so pure.. so complete.. that your soul's yearning for experiencing even a sliver of that wholeness supercedes any sense of logic one has ever possessed.. like bungee jumping.. or trekking to Everest.. or taking a leap of faith into the unknown.. status quo? Jumpshift the paradigm?.. Budha said the greatest mistake is thinking that we have time.. 😊 if i think like that, i'd be on a plane right now.. ahem.. flying to florida to see Hogwarts!! #dreams #winter #death #rebirth #desire #faith #joy #J #life #choices #sunrise #chilly #tea #dailyteascape #steam #love #soul #spiritual #farsgemworld #nofilter #sun #gold #teacup #crossroads #statusquo
