Imaginairy realm

Review 
     In the first post I made for the rebirth of my blog Nothing but the truth I mentioned how your imagination is extremely important. When used appropriately it can help you express yourself and even help apply the most important part of being a Christian. If you have no way to visualise your life in some sort of personal expression than applying scripture can be nigh impossable.

     There is a difference between imaginary and  and actually allowing something to become so real that it turns into a vanishing point. I have said in my last post that I often lose track of my surroundings. It becomes a vanishing point when I am under so much stress. I decided a long time ago that I will no longer allow myself to vanish into my own realm but instead use it to create a place to lean on Gods word.

     A great way to take a moment to really meditate on scripture and reflect on your life is to have a place to go to in your own imagination. Like I said; " I think everyone needs a private place to keep their thoughts but if you do not have anything to express yourself in either for God or for your purpose then your art is meaningless."

 What is an imaginary realm?

     I think everyone can really benefit from having a place to go and really decompress. This place should be something that brings you peace. Once you have peace then your able to really silence all that toxic noise so that God can speak to your heart. This is what I turned my vanishing point into. This is an imaginary realm that you visualise in your mind to escape the world so that God can speak to you.

     I chose to make use of my Imaginary realm to meditate and be able to create believable characters. So far I have three characters that have stuck with me. Two of the three have come to completion. Rosetta and Syria are characters I came up with to help design characters for my stories that I write.

    The reason why they exist in an imaginary realm is because for one allowing your imagination to develop on its own can become your minds way of escaping stress and or pain. For example some people when they lose some one they love they began to visualise them almost to the point of hallucination. There is a better way.

     In order to be able to prevent your imagination from shutting your awareness down like it did me you need to make a place for all of it to exist in. There are steps that I took to develop a way to control my imaginary realm. I think the most important part of having a healthy meditation is to be able to be in control of when you go there and know how to maintain a small amount of awareness of your surroundings when its important.

     In conclusion your focus for a healthy meditation should be a place that you are in control of. Your ability to maintain awareness while your partly in your realm will help you to have a place to escape to when your under a lot of stress without shutting down.

Preview 
     My next blog post will be about how to create your imaginary realm as well as scripture to keep in mind. I hope you all are learning that imagination is important and that it can be helpful if used correctly. My next Blog post will also explain how to create characters so be thinking about your friends. What makes your best friends special?

God Bless.

Nothing but the truth Reborn



Resurfacing the truth

     I thought about bringing by blog back to surface for a while. I need a place to get away from my book that I am writing. Those of you who don't know I am and have been writing a book series on and off since my junior year in high school. It has been 8 years officially since the breadth of year 2015.   For those of you who are stopping by my blog for the new opening I welcome you. For those who are new I say; "What better way to start off the resurface of my writings than to have you here?" I hope you all find something that is encouraging from what my writings have to offer. God has blessed me with wisdom even though I am so unworthy.

     My new blog is going to be similar to my old one but with a little more open to my life than I was making it. I hope to bring my little side out to show people that it’s important to put away childish things including the fear of being childish. Your passions and or preferences does not define your gender and or age. Your heart is worth so much more than what this crude earthly wisdom may have said about you. Your no accident and you’re not an abomination.

 

Little Personality & Big passion

      Ever since I played the Spyro the dragon games I always had a connection to my little side. I really did not know what it was exactly or what it meant to have a little side. I often thought of my imagination as unimportant because it never accomplished anything. As the words say; "Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless." There is more to this than just dreaming. You’re expressing how you look at people in this world. What are stories and fairy tales if not to inspire people? Was Jesus not a story teller? What are parables if not to express a value or a thought to contemplate theory? With all to do with respect my friend we would never have expression if not for imagination.

      When dreaming you find values in things. You’re putting a passion in something. For me I put value on writing in a sense that my imagination is a place to be alone while my physical form may be in a very public place. The only thing is I sometimes I lose touch with what is going on around me. This can be bad if I dose off in my imagination when I work. I developed this realm of mine when I was in high school due to being under a tremendous amount of stress. Because I created it under such circumstances I have to try and focus the best I can when I either am about to cry or if I am indeed in a lot of stress.

     I think this blog will help others because I hope to cover some very difficult questions. My imagination is important and the world I escape to is very important but only if I use it at appropriate times. There is a difference between using your imagination to escape from stress and allowing it to take full control at the wrong times.  There is a difference between creating an idol and creating characters that you hope to write in a book.

     If you don’t go nowhere with your imagination all your doing is dreaming. I think it is the same with writing stories. If all you do is write stories and don’t publish any of them than what good does that do? I think everyone needs a private place to keep their thoughts but if you do not have anything to express yourself in either for God or for your purpose then your art is meaningless. Like chasing after the wind.
