just thinking
"Real eyes realize real lies" ~unknown...(to me)
For some reason that quote has been in my head ALL day today, and I cannot figure out who said it! Hence, my desire to write about it. I wish I knew the author of the quote and his/her thoughts and/or feelings when they said it.
My interpretation of it is: If I make good use of my third eye, Incorporated with some divine discernment, then apply the insight that I was so blessed to acquire, I will then be able to undoubtedly, instantaneously recognize false pretenses, untruths and maleficence in the world around me and abroad.
As I further contemplate on the origin and meaning of the quote, I begin to think...was this someone's savvy ploy in attempts to sound cool or be "different" ? Or, was this person really feeling misrepresented, betrayed or experiencing a new level of awareness? Perhaps he or she had been wronged so much that they decided : Enough is Enough! On the other hand, they could have been manipulating and misusing someone so much, that they thought :Man, aren't you tired of me doing you this way? Suppose they were just deep in thought or in some type of meditative state that this lil quote came to the forefront of their mind....
Anyhoo, I'm just rambling off some possibilities of its intended meaning;hoping to gain some new knowledge to spread and use as a source inspiration or help to someone in need...perhaps me, you, anyone in need....
well, MY real eyes realized real lies years ago! Thank GOD for wisdom and experience..keep living, learning and applying!

small boxes & BIG FIELDS
oh how great life would be if we lived using our maximum potential;divinely guided and never one dimensional...
often times i hope and pray to be all that GOD has destined for me to be, never settling for complacency.
i am thankful for the way my life has progressed thus far, however i know that i am capable of much more.
do we simply exist or do we ever truly live?
what does it mean to truly live and go beyond merely existing?
does it mean we always play it safe and never take risks?
does it mean we step completely outside of the "box" and live life differently than what "tradition" states?
does it mean that we consider other people's ideals of what is right and necessary for our lives?
or, do we seek divine wisdom and guidance, align our will with the Creator's will and follow that?
guided imagery...
take a deep breath and center yourself...
breath in....
breath out....
close your eyes...
center yourself...
again, another deep breath...
another exhale...
focus on the spirit within...
relax all the muscles...
relax your shoulders...
imagine a huge open field of green, freshly cut grass
then picture yourself inside a small glass box in the middle of the field, with your eyes closed
your eyes open, you look up at the spacious blue sky and then out at the enormous
grassy green field.
with open eyes, you want to get outside of that small box and venture out onto the big green field...but you are trapped...
stuck in the small glass box, looking out at the field and up at the sky
and wondering what else is there, outside of the glass box....
inhale.....exhale...
think of all your cares and hopes and aspirations...
continue to focus on the things that worry you ...
think of the things that you want in place of the worries...
speak to the divine spirit, confess the worries and cares and hopes and aspirations...
ask the divine spirit to take them,do away with the negative, increase the positive and align them with GOD's will and allow them to be done
in divine time and not mine...
ask for acceptance and peace and the ability to truly trust and have and maintain the faith...
ask for the courage, ability, strength and endurance to do all that you are capable of doing
another deeeeeep breath in....
exhaaaaaaale....
breath in....breath out...
Now, progress with your day, pray and repeat whenever needed!
~peace, luv & hugz~mimi

thin line...ramblings..
**i was blogging on myspace yesterday and this is what i produced, just thought i'd share it here...
t.i said, "it's a fine line between brilliance and insanity."
somebody else said, "it's a thin line between love and hate."
i say, "it's a thin line between fear and courage."
isn't it amazing that entities such as love and brilliance, things that can make you feel awesomely ecstatic,can also make you feel like you're dressed in honey dipped undergarments running around in a field invaded with a swarm of bees?
sometimes you can feel like you're on top of the world and at other times, you can feel like you're at the bottom of the barrel. at the blink of an eye or the flutter of a butterflies wings, life can drastically change. therefore, it's imperative to value every moment, every person and every situation to the fullest.
over analyzing can be necessary and helpful, it can also be negative and useless. the pursuit and use of discernment is often times the best tool when uncertainties arise. i am guilty of being overly analytical at times, which can sometimes cause confusion and discontentment. there is a very thin line between faith and the lack thereof, between optimism and pessimism....
is the saying true that you never know what you have 'til it's gone? possibly! hence, the importance of making the best out of every given situation, take the lemons and make lemonade.
it's a fine line between making a good point and rambling!
