Encountering the Essence

in Proof of Brain3 years ago

I suppose you could call me a fairy (1).png

I've been called many things, really. By many people and many cultures, throughout time.

We call each other "the essence", but Talia calls us her "fireflies". We don't mind. Names don't really matter to us so much. Shakespeare was right about the rose, you know?

We do what is necessary to maintain the balance, and we never work on our own volition. We are a sort of "worker bee", and our role is to minister to the world on our queen's behalf.

So... are you grumpy, happy, evil_ (1).png

Sometimes, we are instrumental in sad things happening; this is true. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes joyful, sometimes catastrophic. But we are not defined by such expressions of our power.

Humans often look very closely at one particular instance - one tiny blip on the radar screen of their lives, and misunderstand that we must be good, if a good thing happens. Bad - if a bad thing happens.

If you could see all that what we see, you would see a much bigger picture, and I assure you - it's radiant!

If we needed to choose one word to describe us,
it couldn't be grumpy or evil or happy, or any one-sided trait.
We are balance.

Where do you live_ (2).png

As balance is needed everywhere - we are everywhere. In the sky, in the sea, in the atoms and in the space between. We hold things together, and we pull things apart. We fuel, we deplete, we ignite, we extinguish - we are the "spark" here and the "snuff" there.

How do you feel about your role_ (1).png

We do exactly what we were created to do.
We are perfectly content and fulfilled in every way.

What do you look like_ (1).png

The sensory perceptions of our "being" is completely beyond what a human can detect. Your minds were not made to take in the fullness of our purpose, as your senses were not made to take in the fullness of our appearance. But there are parts that we transmit to your level, in order to give you a small peek into our realm.

Have you ever seen the sky, lit with power?
We are in that glow.
Felt the heaviest night, like a suffocating blanket?
We are in that cloak.
Scent triggered a memory or warned of approaching danger?
We are in that aroma.
Felt a baby's caress or the quake of the earth?
We are in that vibration.
Heard a kitten purr or a volcano erupt?
We are in that energy.
Touched the lips of a love for the first time?
We are in that connection.

In those experiences and many more, you have
seen and heard and inhaled and tasted and felt.... us.

We are always here,
and always will be.
The invitation to experience more is open.

Well, I think I am guilty of being good, if a good thing happens, and being bad, if a bad thing happens. I just go with the flow.

Does the fairy frown upon that? Do I need to change it?

hehehehe It takes a lot of balance to hold your place in the ocean when the waves crash against you. Right?

It's easy to be still when the water is still - but it really takes some other Force to hold you still in a storm! :)

For me - I know where that stillness comes from - from my Lord :) I can't do it on my own - hahahaha if on my own? I'm a rag doll tossed all around with the waves LOLOLOL

So - to answer your question, I guess I would just ask you for the answer... do you enjoy being good when good happens and bad when bad happens? If you find your peace there - then you have your answer. If you find that's not a peaceful place - then seek peace in all situations. no matter the flow :)

love you @iskafan! truly love your mind and your open, inquisitive nature all the time!!!!

Yes, the Almighty hold us down with his calmness. That's one thing I can testify to. I remember how everytime, turbulent reels it's head in my life, I'll hear, his voice say, "I am here, don't you worry". He never fails. I have seen him work wonders in situations that human would swear it's impossible to get out of.

do you enjoy being good when good happens and bad when bad happens? If you find your peace there - then you have your answer. If you find that's not a peaceful place - then seek peace in all situations. no matter the flow :)

Do I? Let me try to remember. Up until, I recently, I always tried to make peace when bad things happen. I no longer do that. I stay calm, and let the Almighty take care of everything.

Wait, what do I do when good things happens? Hehehehe.

Hahahaha

Well that's a peaceful place then!!! I do the same 🥰

Not perfectly...but I try!

And what do you do when it's good?? Hmmm I hope celebrate hahaha

Haha, exactly, celebration 😅🥳🎉

Edit: Good Morning Ma'am. It's 6:43 am in my country as we speak 🙃

Wow.
That was a delight for my soul.
I have read it twice and will probably read more times , each time slower and slower as to relish every sound and every corner of the absolute to where this wisdom expands the perception, normally limited by the physical dimensions and limitations of the linear time ...
THANK YOU.
Such a mind-melting dessert, an epistolar cheesecake with poetic strawberries ♥️
Thank you!!

hehehehehe mmmmmmmmmmmm epistolar cheesecake?!?!?! with poetic strawberries!!!!!!!

sounds like a true delight for the senses! hehehehehehe

I hope that you enjoy it more and more as it sinks deeper into your heart and soul!

thank you @lauralauze !!!!!!! :)

Yes, I am enjoying it profoundly .. consciously surrendering to the directionless mind-maze...
Bliss 😊

hehehehehehehehe

I'm so glad!!!!!! These "fireflies" are actually in my blog banner and profile picture. hehehe

OMG 😮 That’s is awesomeness personified. Beautiful, breathtaking, incredible, insightful! Your poetry rocks - that’s the real thing, you’re a wordsmith; you forge mystery and conjure magic with the stroke of a pen. Amazing. You have a new FAN !!!!!!

wowwwwwwwwwww!!!! what a comment!!!!!! I'm sitting here with my mouth open and smiling so huge!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make my day! hehehehehe :)

I'm so glad - really truly glad - that you love it!!! so honored to get this encouraging comment from you!

Brilliant simply brilliant I loved this and especially the line
we are balance

Fantastic writing

Sorry shorter than normal replies for me of recent I had got better but don’t too much with my hand today and trying to be in my phone or keyboard much today and give my pinky finger a break

hehehe I feel very honored that you gave me that many words with that sore pinky finger!!! I know you're in pain!! (and impatient to get that splint off)

and oh my gosh - i just realized you took the crown last week with that hurt finger!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL

you're a beast!!!! hahahahahahaha

love you!!!

Lol I did slow down after I hurt my finger
I just took the splint off and tried buddy wrapping it to next finger for ian hour but that was even worse started throbbing away and it’s still pretty swollen and I can’t bend the injured joint at all

Think I may need to stick with the splint till I see dr on Friday

my gosh :(

it sounds so painful!

you should stop typing and just respond to everyone in gifs. hahahahaha

like this

This was awesome :) And it even makes sense on a scientific level. We know that there are what can only be described as sentient particles. Why not call those fairies :) ...

You can read more about them here

hehehehehe right?? and in Talia's world (and other world LOL) - she calls them Fireflies. LOL

and I wonder what God calls them? hehehe... maybe just.. "Himself" LOL because we know He is truly the One that holds all this together 😍 gonna check out that article! i love that kind of stuff hehehe

They are definitely a mystery ❤️ They seem impossible, like a story. And yet there they are!

Oh Dreem, you out did yourself!!!!!!!!!!

We are balance.

LOVE this and the poem and the whole story!!!

I am sorry you got a comment from me while I am not awake but just know I LOVE this and YOU!

hahahahahahaha i'm cracking up because I know you're not awake yet! LOLOLOL

i love you more - and i'm so glad you liked it!!!!!!

This post was beautifully written. I wish I had the capacity to write something like this. Maybe if I hang around the discord long enough some of your writing talents will rub off on me.

hehehe well thank you so much! I appreciate those words!

I absolutely LOVE writing, especially when I can sink deep into the nooks and crannies hehehe

I encourage you - if you really want to write, just start. I can't say this enough. You will constantly improve if you just begin somewhere and start being dedicated to it.

You have stories to tell where YOU are the expert. You can invite people into your world! Just need to begin.

But I will say - while you're starting - you're probably going to not be at your A game. so - don't put out your best tries first. Start off doing writing challenges - join places that focus on fiction and other writers encouraging one another.. etc.

then when you feel like you're really going to start stepping out - THEN start debuting the ideas that have been forming in your heart for a while! Not only will you have the experience and practice and tools... but you'll have a much more supportive audience to invest in your stories

that is SO important to me.
I LOVE AND ADORE AND APPRECIATE my readers so much. They fuel me hehehe

just my advice for you! ❤️

Ok so - first off... Damn that was beautiful. Second off - now I'm really self conscious about my Fairy. The bar is set -

the gif made me BUST UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

AND YOU LIE. hahaha yours was so fantastic! you just need to enjoy it and laugh and make us laugh with you - cuz it was hysterical hahahaha

I do enjoy it! Especially when people laugh.

hehehe good. we need more :)

We are always here,
and always will be.
The invitation to experience more is open.

This is true. We are not physical. Being born on Earth is not the beginning, but a transition. Death is not the end, but a transition. Actually there is no time. Or rather there is infinite time. There is no past, no future. There is just/only the present and the eternity. Everything happens at the same time. Everything happens now.

Such interesting thoughts!!!! Very eternal ♾️ hehehe

I'm glad you enjoyed my post!!! I had so much fun writing it!!!

I read many things about this subject. There is a thing called Near-Death Experience (NDE), and there is a website called NDERF (Near-Death Experience Research Foundation). That is currently the largest NDE database on the internet. Currently there are 4987 NDEs on it, and it is being constantly/regularly updated.

I give you some !PIZZA and some !LUV.

Have a nice day. All the best.
Greetings and much love from Hungary.

yes - there are SO many controversial issues over NDE's -

the brain is a marvelous organ but our physical body is MUCH LESS COMPLEX than our spirit! hehehe

and many things just simply can't be explained with our human rationalizations because we limit ourselves. and even when we try - there are just some things that.... cannot be explained with the human experience.

I've had some things that - when I think about them, I know they were real, know they were extraordinary, know they were supernatural... but when I try to explain it in words???? fail! hahahahah it just sounds too human!

but these are always SO fascinating to TRY! :)

THANKS FOR SHARING

love received from hungary and sent back to you from california hehehehe

This is beautifully worded. I'm kind of speechless and can't seem to express myself, lol! I have written and deleted and written and deleted my comment like twice now.

Oh well. I couldn't agree more —We are balance! This aptly captures who a fairy is and what they do.

Well done, Dreemsteem. You are a wordsmith! 💖

Wow!!! hehehehehe deleting and writing and deleting and writing is a very nice compliment from one writer to the next

and any writer will know exactly what i mean! hahahaha

because that means that you TRULY ARE SPEECHLESS hahahaha and anything that can take a writer's words away is pretty cool! hehehehe

and yes - you know I was thinking of the "essence" from Talia's world. and how... you know, so many things happened. back and forth - and good and bad - and right and wrong.

and we pause and think - is the world against me????

but it's not. good and bad - we think in too human of terms for this, often.

balance is best :)

i love you!!!
