[quote:_Seraphim_:MV80OTg0NjEwXzkxMjA0NzE1X0QyRTQ5QzdD] [quote:Dirck de Noorman:MV80OTg0NjEwXzkxMTk3MjU1XzI5NzIyNEEy] Someone once said to me, "You are a spiritual being engaged in a human experience. This is a blink of time in your infinite existence. If you feel like you don't belong here, it's because you don't." That conversation changed my life and helped me embrace who I am. As far as the most profound thing I've ever read, "Autobiography of a Yogi" was an incredible journey and I've given dozens of copies of it away over the years. I make sure I always have a couple of extras on my bookshelves. =) [/quote] Excellent post, Sis. What you said is an incredibly profound concept and it makes me think about how short our lives are in the grand context of it all. I looked up the book you mentioned, it sounds awesome and I was able to find a PDF. I’m going to start digging into it tonight and see what I can learn :) God Bless. And Merry Christmas to you guys!

Pardon the Doom Break for a little bit of divergence into uncharted esoterica.
I’ll start:
My most profound realization was how important and life-changing it is to have proper love for oneself. To ascribe proper worth and value to oneself. It’s liberating. More important still is unconditional love for and loyalty to one’s children, family and bloodline. We are the sole curators of our ancestors’ blood, their epigenetic memories, and the reward for thousands of years of their painful struggle to survive. To experience love for a family of my own was the “missing piece” to my soul and I don’t believe a person can feel complete without serving in that natural role as a Father or parent.
The most truly moving thing that I’ve ever read were the words of Christ, paraphrased:
“For whosoever seeks to save his own soul will lose it; But the man who loses his soul for the sake of good will find it again.”
Also the passage recording Solomon’s commentary on love, as contained in my sigline.
