'How old are you?'  That is such a simple question yet hard to be accurate. How do you see yourself? I'm not talking about, 'I'm a gentle but fierce individual.'  I'm talking about your human vessel(ego) or your soul. The body you currently reside in is only temporary but your soul is eternal. If you detach yourself from your perspective but instead, choose to view yourself as a soul living a human experience, you will start to see life differently. You will find the beauty in everyday life, seeing the connection between every single living/nonliving organism. Your ego is your human vessel, the five senses. Your soul contains your intuition, divine wisdom, past life experience, and so much more. When you allow your ego to strip away, you connect with your soul through your heart because that is the only connection keeping you alive. When you know someone's 'age,'  what is that supposed to tell you? No age will allow you to understand someones mentality nor their experience. You could have been on this Earth for twelve years but have the mentality of an eighty year old. A number is not an accurate description of your experience, how you process information, or what goes on in your internal world. You can be thirty but connected to your inner child, thus giving off an immature essence. Enjoying life, learning to not take everything seriously while having fun does not make you immature. Blaming everyone else, neglecting responsibilities, manipulating others for your own gain, getting angry when someone doesn't agree with you or if something doesn't go your way, judging someone, getting pissed off at everyone because of your own actions is all acting in an immature fashion. How can you accurately put an age on your mentality and/or experience when we contain an abundance of traits, wisdom, and knowledge. You can't put a price or an age on experience and wisdom. 

You cannot continue living your life with a blindfold on, pretending that if you can't see something, it's not happening. The first step to becoming more conscious to your surroundings and your life is first embodying the only vessel you have. That means no more running from your emotions nor using methods to numb your feelings. Emotions are intense but every curse is a gift. Your emotions are a roadmap to your heart and your happiness. Most people don't want to hear what every ounce of their being is telling them so they decide to run. Eventually you'll win, right? Emotions can no doubt, suck sometimes, but that is the only way we grow, heal, and learn to love unconditionally. If someone or something triggers an emotion inside of you, the only way through is feeling it. Ask why you feel it and instead of acting on the emotion, just sit with it. Embrace your darkness, embrace your light. It's so easy to ride the highs of life that we try to avoid the lows at every cost. You must first feel the low to embrace the high or that high will become a normal feeling and lose all of its touch.  What happened in your past, that triggers this emotion? 

Growing up were you told you would go to Hell for doing something? Did someone try to use fear to force you into behaving a certain way? I've decided to call bullshit and say that Heaven and Hell already exists on Earth. If you live in fear, judgment, resentment, anger, and misery, you create your own living hell. If you live in unconditional love, you create your own harmony and peace, thus living in your own personal Heaven. I believe we all go to the same place no matter the actions you have done through your ego. Your soul communicates with you through your heart and intuition. Your soul is known as the 'light' but your ego is what creates fears and can lead you to darkness. Trusting your ego over your soul will create more darkness but letting unconditional love in will only bring you more love and light into your life. We all have feminine and masculine energy inside of us, gentle and aggressive or destructive. The Bible is written through different perspectives on someone else's life but says that god would be unjust if he let everyone into Heaven. Everyone is capable of darkness but that is simply a tactic to keep you in fear and easily controlled. Differentiating between your ego and fear will help you realize that once your human vessel is dead, you're nothing but unconditional love and light. You are a LITERAL blob of light that will go to the same place as every other soul that has once lived and will continue to live.
