Sage's New Page

I feel many things coming my way.

I meant to add this earlier before I took my nap but I was exhausted (my mom said she came in to tell me that she was taking my uncle to the hospital and I didn’t even stir; said she’s glad I let her know how exhausted I was or she was about to jump on my chest :joy:).

The time of Sexy Ninji is over; my reports will be deviating from things about women, except for the more…profound cases.

I experience a lot of my ‘highlight’ reports daily; they’re par for the course at this point and therefore, while they’re welcome 'zults, they’ll only rarely be discussed on this one.

I resonate with the archetype outpictured in Anakin Skywalker.

Chosen One.

The character of Anakin is one fraught in tragedy; loss, betrayal, manipulation and deceit…

Betrayal.

:thinking:

To have much power and know naught what one is to do with it. I can feel the struggle of that character, in my memory, considering in my heart what I know of Anakin; movies and novels.

The three-fold flame.

OIP

Anakin had Power. He had Will. He had Creativity.

He had Love.

But he lacked Wisdom, the wisdom that marries the two between the power center and the center of love.

He lacked balance. He lacked…vision. True vision.

R (5)

Had he had a greater balance between the Crown and the Heart, he would not have fallen prey to the insidious manipulations of one Sheev Palpatine.

It is through the balance of the three flames that we can hearken to the words of Jesus the Christ, when he urged us to be as innocent as doves and wise as serpents.

If I look at Anakin Skywalker’s Arch compared to the Arch of the Christed Archetype, the differences become plain to me.

And, my own sacred labor becomes apparent.

I take a look at another beloved character of mine childhood in Naruto.

I see similar character…flaws? I dislike to call it that, I’ll call it struggles.

Power, certainly. Perhaps not from the get-go as with Anakin, but as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto has a tremendous life force. That, in tandem with him being a Jinchuriki set his potential far apart from the majority of his village - and enemies. Once he learned Sage Mode?

Chills

However, similar defects. Tremendous power, and a huge heart. An indomitable sense of will is evident in the character of Naruto as he develops.

Was his love for Sasuke misplaced?

Well…

This, I will not go so far as go into right now. I will say, though, that the Wisdom ray, cultivated within Naruto, would have saved him and Team 7 many, many heartaches and issues.

Naruto did develop the wisdom to be recognized amongst his peers as worthy of the role of Hokage, presiding over the Leaf Village.

Anakin’s foolhardiness, while admired by younger me, led him to ruin. He caught his redemption when he cast the aforementioned Palpatine into the abyss. But too much damage had been wrought; he paid with his life to make things ‘right’.

Running Alchemist ST2 and Primal Romance. I haven’t felt the desire/need/pull/inclination to run my stack up until now.

I helped my sister move my brother’s stuff out of his apartment today - he’s been in jail for the past few months and we received notice from a neighbor of his that he was being evicted.

My back and neck have been feeling horrid, up until today. I’ve felt burdened BUT; that seems to have been due mostly to the fact that I hadn’t been able to really sleep up until last night.

Kenya and I are official.

Neither of us care for bf/gf labels; but suffice to say, no more of the ‘Wanted’ Ninji reports; at least, as I said recently, notsomuch.

I attended a traffic hearing in North Las Vegas that I needed to appear for; I was actually about 10 minutes late but, fortunately, my name had not yet been called.

It went well.

There’s talk on the forum of the ‘sweet point’.

I seem to have discovered my ‘sweet stack’, in Alchemist (ST2), and Primal Romance.

A year or two ago, I had a period of time where I was disinterested in running any more subliminals. At least, running them with far less frequency.

I had lost my phone in the casino at the Palace Station. I didn’t realize it was gone until I had walked out of the building to go wander.

I jogged back in and hailed security, gave them my information and they said they would let me know if they had found it by my check out time.

I said a quick prayer to my Higher Self, asking for assistance finding it.

It came to me that I’ll be led to it.

So, I relaxed my ‘grip’ on my feet and let myself bob and weave through machines and people, back to a lounge chair that I had been sitting in for awhile, watching people and zoning in.

My phone was sitting patiently waiting for me.

As I walked towards it, I caught onto a conversation some people were having about it. The ladies and man were trying to figure out if it was theirs, or not.

One of them had just gotten up to retrieve it. I walked up behind her and said, “Excuse me.”

She looked over her shoulder at me and I gestured to the phone and said that it’s mine.

They smiled and the lady said she was just about to turn it in.

I thanked her and shook her hand and went to security to call off any searches. The security guy, a hard looking black dude, who was stoic and professional, though somewhat reluctantly sympathetic, smiled huge when I came up, waved my phone and said, “Ain’t God good?”

And now, I’m able to type this out.

Glory Be

Going down memory lane, in a sort of way. Wandering Vegas, remembering visiting here as a kid.

Playing the arcade, while the adults went to the big people machines.

All the silly little flash crushes between myself and girls, my brother and girls.

Chatting with randoms just for the exchange and moving on.

Fun stuff.

I love being in a state where I clearly see women are enthralled/mesmerized and not really feeling pressed to do much but enjoy their company, if but for a bit.

I’ve said hi to several women and had little chats with them (in Circus Circus) before continuing with my idle wander. It’s fun.

That’s amazing, I notice this on subs too where the faith in higher power is stronger
