Mystery

I'm sitting at the computer right now. I'm sure some of you were able to come to that conclusion fairly well. Others, well you know who you are..

Anyway, maybe this post will actually receive some comments because of it's topic. You see right now, I have this weird feelings. I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels like it's going to tear me in half. I've been feeling this way for the better part of the afternoon and evening and don't know what's causing it, or how to get rid of it. I don't even know if I want to get rid of it. All I know is that it feels like I'm missing something, something key. It's like a mix between being pulled, and a longing or pining for something. I have an idea as I write this, what it might be, but I'd like to know what you; my rare, and select readers, think it is. Do any of you know what I'm talking about? Have you ever had such a feeling, or one you think is similar? What were you doing that it happened to you, and how did you resolve it? Did you just ignore it the best you could and let it dismiss itself, or was there something that helped?

If any of you see me in the next couple of days, I might be torn in two. But maybe that's it. Two, two sides of me. Could it be that? There are so many different opposing pairs out there. Could one of them explain what I'm feeling? Yen and Yang, Good and Evil, Flesh and Spirit.

Oh for an ounce of insight, or maybe a liter. Any would be nice. (yes I'm aware that I changed units 'ounce' to 'liter')

If it's Yin and Yang, you won't be torn apart, for Yin is inseparable from Yang (learned that in philosophy). The other things you mentioned suggest some sort of spiritual battle is going on, further suggesting that the thing you seek has to do with God. Whatever's going on, I suggest relieving as much of the stress as you can so that you can see the situation more clearly.

Two other things. About the units, changing systems is better than refering to a gallon of insight. Also, could you change the link to my site so it doesn't disclose my last name?

Also, it's possible that you may be stressed about the upcoming semester, depending on how soon it is and how hard its classes are. You might be transferring this subconscious, phantom-esque stress to something else.

I myself figured it to be God pulling me, I just wanted to see who else thought that. I think you were very close if not right on the cause of my feeling.

The only thing that I can think of at the moment is that God is either wanting you to see something or do something. I know personally sometimes I'm so blind to what I aught to be doing that I just sit on my butt.. And in those circumstances God sometimes seems to make me feel exactly like what you're describing.

Or maybe it's something GOd wants me to do that I don't want to do.. That's happened before too.. I'm very stubborn.. and selfish.. So sometimes for some stupid reason.. I feel that I can do what I want rather than what God wants. That's when I'm particularly in a rut. Haha... Thank goodness I have a savior who corrects me.. but still loves me!!

Ok so yeah those are just my personal experiences, but maybe you can use them!!

I dunno man, my only suggestion: Go listen to some music.

Stephen: Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that all spiritual struggles/stresses had to be reduced to school stress. It just struck me that it had happened over the course of a mere day.

.....William you spelled my name wrong....I think I'll delete that last comment to keep me from getting even more upset and start calling you Will instead....;)

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make you upset or to trivialize your spiritual experiences.

Man, I forgot about the "a" in your name. Sorry about that.

Steve M said...

I didn't feel or get the impression that you were.
Don't worry about the "a" It's really not a big deal to me.

Okay. That's good.

I feel this way sometimes too. Here's what I do.

I try to have my own personal worship service. Party of two. Me and the Holy Spirit. Because I love music and because it really reaches out to me, I play one or two songs that really put me in a meditative mood. Then I read my favorite verses and then I just sit and pray.

Usually I don't get the answers I think I want, but I do get the answers I know I need.

Hope my comment isn't too late to help!

Steve M said...

not at all. I thank you for your comment

I think you just need to get a job.

Steve M said...

Well seeing as I already work two jobs, and two part time jobs, I really don't think that's the issue.
