Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see. But there are certain non-negotiables in this life. Certain things we can't cheat ourselves out of. We are not a piece of meat being acted on.    However, this is where God comes in. Some o...

The power of the wicked one

Sometimes I'm searching through my tropical apartment here - a crumble-down, tumble-down old tenement in the raw effluviant guts of the city - and the thing will come upon me. 

It is a strange thing: a kind of spell. I will be looking for something that I was supposed to take with me downstairs for work or whatever, and it will seem as if it disappeared. 

Actually, it is just lost temporarily, but for me, it's like it's been moved intentionally by another super-dimensional agent. 

The kind of chaos that results in my mind is unfathomable. 

I will think for instance that that thing has disappeared from physical reality; Or was it actually real to begin with. We are talking about simple things here. Red pens and toothbrushes. The staples of a teacher. I will suddenly think that reality has somehow ceased to operate according to rules and logic, and that reality is somehow becoming hellish and uncooperative. That I'm being cursed by the laws of physics, or quantum physics, or whatever is beyond that.

So I go along with it, this feeling; and it feels with all that's in me, that I will not find the thing; keys, wallet; documents for work; whatever it may be. . . 

And this causes a resignation and a panic to set in. I feel that I'm cursed forever, that I'm doomed with this curse by reality. And the worst part of all: I JUST ACCEPT IT.

And it makes me so negative and feel so unworthy of living. 

That is surely a supernatural thing. A thing caused by the devil.
