Yes she is wiseTaco dreams are basically when you eat something spicy or something that gives you these wild and random dreams that have no meaning. Haha.
Slight hangover again.. yeah going to limit my drinking quantity on the weekends.
I'm having wine now.
Nice. I do know in the past when I drank some beer during a hangover it goes away. Maybe I'll try that.. idk.. lol.
It's early. Have a beer and see how you feel. *lol*
Sounds good. Might pick up some of that Japanese beer.. forget what it's called but they mix in rice and it's so tasty (for beer).
Sake?
Sake?
It's Sapporo but it's one of their special cans (gold). The other stuff is pretty middle of the road.
Bella,The Philosopher’s Stone is related to alchemy. You can learn more about it here. The Harry Potter films mentioned Nicholas Flamel. He really existed.
This is probably the part most pertinent:
It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality;[1] for many centuries, it was the most sought goal in alchemy. The philosophers' stone was the central symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolizing perfection at its finest, enlightenment, and heavenly bliss. Efforts to discover the philosophers' stone were known as the Magnum Opus ("Great Work").
The Great Work (Latin: Magnum opus) is an alchemical term for the process of working with the prima materia to create the philosopher's stone. It has been used to describe personal and spiritual transmutation.
The dream is pointing to a quest. In the natural, you’ve undertaken a journey of physical improvement and entered a period of rest and rejuvenation. That leg of the quest is complete.
But the spiritual is more arduous. It doesn’t utilize the tools we rely on in the natural. That’s why you were out of shape and unable to keep pace.
Clooney represents the internal guide directing your steps. You must follow Him to experience the transmutation spiritual growth provides. In this case, you’re seeing it as an adventure. Which references your mindset. You’re willing to undergo the process.
In the natural, you’ve taken pains to align yourself with the Lord. The dream is showing you the results of your efforts. The “Great Work” in this case is sanctification.
Practically speaking, you could view Clooney as someone pursuing a path you’re ill-suited to take. Though you’re willing. You’re following him. Not walking beside (so it appears). And he isn’t assisting you. The island suggests you’re out of your element and on unfamiliar terrain. No one helps you. You’re on your own.
If you were considering a suitor, I’d point to the latter. But I sense the first is apropos.
Bella,
Such insight. This totally speaks to me as I'm always up for adventure. After becoming a Christian it became God-sized adventures. Yes, I am trying to pursue Christ, the set back from last June really set me back. The island is true, Ive had to make most decisions alone apart from the pack.
One thought that came to mind the other morning is that I can't be stuck in Narnia when I become intrigued by a guy again. That's the thing that hooks me and gets my mind so wrapped in the handful of times it has happened. I made them into some superpower human being in my mind that they are not. I live in a very rich creative world in my head and how I transform everyday realities and lessons into the supernatural.
Asahi beer or Sapporo? If you're talking about beer? Also he was my favorite when I lived in Japan. I hardly drink anymore.Nah it's something else. Although only one of their versions of their brand is good.
Yep, I've always been prone to fantasy. Even before I got saved.One of the downfalls of forging connections in this realm is the exacerbation of emotions. If you're prone to fantasy it's even worse. You don't have the benefit of physical interaction and body language. Emotions are heightened. They'll take over if you let them.
So most all the cases of intrigue have been in person.You have to restrain yourself and converse outside of the Internet.
yes I can agree, I read this and this is what I push for. The last guy I mentioned, I had to push him to meet me since he was pushing to find out if I liked him before even meeting him. He finally caved in and the next day made arrangements to meet me.I speak to most of my prospects within a week or two once I've established mutual
Yes!!!and yes!You don't know the person. You're in love with the ideal in your head. You can idolize them if you aren't careful.
I'm not even sure if these guys knew what I was building in my head. I'm sure that they all had some kind of intuition, but I'm not sure what their mind was actually telling them. It was very good at hiding my interest but at the same time it was known. I'm guessing from body language. The last person I'm not sure because that one was more textual that it was in person.Anyone who permits you to build an inauthentic image or engage in a lengthy fantasy will cause you pain. In most instances, they're afraid you won't
Yes! The first two cases I probably read battlefield of the mind over and over again.We all have unflattering aspects of ourselves and our lives. You cannot build a relationship on fantasy or escape.
The second case that I mentioned actually introduced me to Atlas shrugged. I picked up the book every once in awhile but it was difficult reading, and every time I have checked out the movie from the library it didn't hold my interest enough. But the concepts a book and movie I am very familiar with the book and movie because of the influences of the second case I mentioned and another guy I dated in 2010.Interesting dream. It made me think of Atlas Shrugged. I'll see if I get something.
Yep, I've always been prone to fantasy. Even before I got saved.
Back in my teens I was into the fairy realm. Which didn't help once the right guy came along when I was 18 and told me all kinds of lies to keep me in that fantasy world. We had met because I was playing some kind of dark spiritual realm type of game that someone had taught me.
I was only with him for 3 weeks and broke things off before the Army. But he turned out to be very dangerous that I had to seek out protection and to this day, even though I know he is married, he has the potential to harm me.
yes I can agree, I read this and this is what I push for. The last guy I mentioned, I had to push him to meet me since he was pushing to find out if I liked him before even meeting him. He finally caved in and the next day made arrangements to meet me.
