perceptions, perspectives, beliefs, like noses, everyone has them - but humanity clearly is in deep spiritual doo doo

All anguish will be turned into joy.✨
Every single last bit of it. There will be nothing left.

Mystical
Whomever constructs their belief of the matter through experience, not thought.

Puzzleheaded
In many ways and arenas experience moved me past belief, into knowing. I have not experienced all anguish was turned into joy, nor has anyone I have known nor heard of, at least, not while in a physical body, at least not that lasted for more than a brief moment in time and in space.

Adot
It will turn to joy, just believe and act accordingly

Puzzleheaded
You achieved that?

Adot
It isn't something you set out to achieve, it's something that happens when you allow it to.

Puzzleheaded
It happened to you?

Adot
Has, is and will.

Puzzleheaded
Lucky you.
I never met anyone all of whose anguish became joy while they were still breathing.

Adot
Call it luck, call it love, call it whatever you want. It's good for anybody to die twice

Puzzleheaded
I died quite a few times, in the spiritual sense, and never came close to what you describe.

Administrator Josh St. Germain invited me to join this group, and I did that and posted a couple of things and then I commented under two of Josh's posts. 
I see Josh tolerates self-promotion, so...
I'm 80 years old and perhaps it's not stretching it much to say I've had at least a dozen different lives this time around.
Back in January of this year (2023), I started a new blogspot, where I reported stuff  going on in my life and psyche, including discussions at Facebook, Reddit Spirituality, Poetic Outlaws, The Order of Pen and The Official C.S. Lewis. 
My blogspot has no ads or soliciting. I just put it out there and move on. The most recent post there contains my initial posts and comments at UNCENSORED Lightworkers. Here's a link: 

old, tired, bedraggled, life-and-angel-mangled man meets UNCENSORED LIGHTWORKERS

Love you Sloan.

Josh St Germain Thanks, Josh, yet we are only just getting to know each other. I am not nearly at the point of being able to say I love everyone, or even a whole lot of people. I am pretty sure God loves us all, including the Devil and all of its demons, but I still have quite a ways to go. What you post at UNCENSORED LIGHTWORKERS provides people who see it with lots of ways of looking at and approaching life on this world, and elsewhere, which mainstream (STATUS QUO) does not. I wish though, that you, and other people, share personal experiences, which demonstrate metaphysics, or whatever anyone wishes to call it, operating inside them and in their daily lives, aka the grindstone and furnace and so forth that living on this world providers ongoing. I very much appreciate uncensored, which is pretty rare at online forums, platforms, etc.

Sloan Bashinsky I used to be selective with Love as well, thought I was obligated to. But then one day I realized everyone needs it, and it's only natural. Life may have given you a rollercoaster, but that doesn't mean you can't step off and live in bliss/euphoria. 

Sloan Bashinsky  

John St. GermaineAdmin I've got a long way to go, I can't bring myself to even love me unconditionally, and I know for a fact, proven every second I'm awake, and even in my dreams, that I cannot step off the roller coaster of life and live in bliss/euphoria. That's why I like to see people share what their own lives are like. You told me that you have cancer. I had prostate cancer during the covid lock down and chose radiation treatment, which was horrible. I felt like I ws dying. There was no way to visualize, wish, hope, positive think myself into a different space. Now what the radiation did to other parts of me is showing up, and it's no fun. I've had IBS since age 27. It arrived in one day, there was no warning, prior symptoms. It chewed me up every day since. Nothing I tired, medical, herbal, metaphysical, had any effect. It had a mind of its own, it is intelligent, it does not like being messed with. I never met, read about or heard of anyone, who was able to jump off the roller coaster of life, without the help of booze and/or other drugs or suicide. If you were/are able to do it, then you are beyond my comprehension.

Sloan Bashinsky I allowed God into my life and became aware of my abilities. I hold the vision of what I want for it to manifest with grace of having it.

Like a vending machine, I put in effort, and what I want comes right out. Unless I'm not specific enough or I lack faith in my abilities, then it's postponed until I regain awareness and confidence in the abilities. Coming from a place of negativity I always found myself doubting anything "magical" so to speak, until I returned to the mode of 100% Love, then it all comes rushing back. My problem was everytime I got myself in a good place like that, I dealt with people trying to sabotage it, most of the times immediately. Becoming angry from the attacks lowered my vibration back to a state of doubt, but after I realized they we're just hurting I either consulted them, or blessed all parties involved and walk away.

Josh St Germain A Course in Miracles says people who act out actually are screaming for help.

I've been attacked so many times that I cannot possibly chronicle even a small part of it. That was part of what was given to me to do over many seasons and variations I could not in my wildest dreams and imaginings have foreseen. To wade into and challenge the status quo, regardless of any blowback or my own discomfort or personal risk. I was not allowed any way to escape, or even mute my own physical or other discomfort, other than sometimes I was advised, or shown, to step away from something already engaged. 

Always, what I addressed was driven by a demonic force behind the visible. I understood I was that force's target, and what I had engaged was that force's bait. I was trained a long time by angels, as they eased me into that line of work. Each situation was different, and sometimes I was softer than other times, and sometimes I should have been softer than I was. 

Based on my experiences, humanity is under a cosmic X-Ray now, and where that might lead, I have no clue. But, based on what I have been through and been shown, and a friend and I have been told, humanity, in the main, is is deep spiritual doo doo. It is devolving spiritually, mostly because its feminine aspect is mangled, even destroyed. Humanity is spiritually cloning itself, while some individuals are progressing. 

I told all of that to the angels, after they asked me in 2004, "What do you think of the species?" And, that I thought  the species would not survive what was being done do and for me, and perhaps the kindest thing would be to remove the species from this planet and put it somewhere it has a better chance of moving forward.

Perhaps what you have wired into makes all of that obsolete. It reminds me, in some ways, of what I heard when I lived in Santa Fe, NM and then in Boulder, CO. I imagine God has infinite ways of trying to reach human beings. I met people in Boulder and Santa Fe, whose path seemed to be trying to change by imagining or visualizing what they wanted and it becoming so, even as I was hearing, so to speak, over and over, not my will, but God's will be done.

This World

By: Czeslaw Milosz

It appears that it was all a misunderstanding.
What was only a trial run was taken seriously.
The rivers will return to their beginnings.
The wind will cease in its turning about.
Trees instead of budding will tend to their roots.
Old men will chase a ball, a glance in the mirror–
They are children again.
The dead will wake up, not comprehending.
Till everything that happened has unhappened.
What a relief! Breathe freely, you who have suffered much.

A.D

Fuck yeah. I just suffered a pretty big loss and this hits the spot. The concept of unhappening, unwinding, and a return to the depths of the self. Coordinates well with some of the Zen and Taoist stuff I've been reading, too. 

Casey Henry 

Fuck yeah like the other guy said  

Felix Purat

Gotta love me some Milosz. Pure gold, every word!

'We lived in strange, hostile, marvellous times 

bullets sang above our heads 

and years no less threatening than tearing shrapnel

taught greatness (even) to those who did not see 

war.'

Czeslaw Milosz

The paths they eventually ploughed through the wood 

Qualified our childhood and shrank the shadows back

Into more wholesome fare, 

better for dogwalkers and the like 

Just as they engineered steps into the steep sides 

Leading down to the frothy suds where Unilever 

Churned out soap, the scented stink souring air 

Between ourselves and Haughton Green, higher 

On the opposite bank, their boys versus our boys 

Pinging pellets from fairground rifles across the River 

Tame. I was proud to live within shooting range

Of the second most polluted river 

In Western Europe, mephitic then (and now)

To all decorative intent, awful in and of itself 

A Christmas kiss 

Snatched under last year's mistletoe 

By a man without teeth 

Just his tongue reaching 

for the past again, 

entered through a younger mouth 

Measured. Marked. Cut.

Bought a good used hardcover copy of his New and Collected Poetry. If I could use only one word to describe his overall work it would be 'penetrating'. If I could use two more and combine them it would be 'lucid Wonder'.
