Monotonous. The lies of a false deity, telling me I'll never love like that again. The way I loved a true God, having been ripped from the very fibers of my spinal chord. How empty & powerless I felt. No matter how pure my tears were, there was no God that showed up, and saved me...from that. No scripture consoled me, no matter how many I read. No

Much of what you’re saying and what I’ve seen you’ve written so far, reminds me of the figure of the demiurge in gnostic Christianity. I mentioned Manichaeism in a previous post, that I think also has this concept of a demiurge, or a creator god that contrives a false reality. This is the material realm itself in some variations. When you mentioned trying to hold a person to the actual teachings of The Christ, which I assume means that revolutionary spirit of Love, the Kingdom of God is within you, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” etc., it reminded me of that. The idea that there are some people who want to be Christians, but a great deal more who just want to appear to be Christians. There’s of course a big difference between those two realities.
I think it’s good that you’re cutting your teeth on writing of your experiences publicly as a warm up to writing your book. Is it going to be an exposé on the reality of human trafficking? I also applaud you for tackling that issue. . . but I’m sorry to hear that something must have happened to you. . . The problem is actually a huge one and also one that I hold dear to my heart, in terms of one that we need to battle because at least in my view, it doesn’t seem like the powers that be are really doing anything to stop it. In fact, I think the deeper one looked into the matter, the more possible it seems that elements of power are actually complicit in allowing this illegal trade to prosper.
As a fellow Ohioan, and one who has suffered a number of nervous breakdowns in his life, each with a distinctly spiritual dimension, I salute you in your mission!

I'm so sorry, I just saw this. Life is quite "slow goes it". Posts have been sporadic, at best, and often for "just me". I've "deleted/cancelled" the dam journal two or three TIMES now, and find some reason to come back too it, as you have 12 months after doing so, to retrieve info, or change your mind. The determination is still there, but it's difficult to organize so much inside me, and then sometimes, it's like there's "nothing there", as in the words that don't come like they should. As if, the powers that be, KNOW that I DARE to be contentious with them. Today was much better. I have been having "breakthroughs" again, and look forward to completing somethings, and coming into more knowledge about power and control in my own life, as wisdom comes through what is needed to say, and more confidence to seek out who to say things to, and with. I posted today with more clarity, and look forward to bringing about a greater manifestation. Whether it will be some big "famous thing" or not, obviously shall remain to be seen, but I look forward to being healthier, more successful, and more present of mind.
