I feel so invisible now. It suck’s! Pleading for the universe to show me something.
Spiritual Detoxification;
Poisons in the context of biology cause disturbances to the body when a certain quantity is absorbed by the body. But there are other poisons which affect the mind and soul. These, when accumulated in us, cause a state of spiritual paralysis.
Most of these poisons come from using our senses in that which Allah your Lord (The Most High) has forbidden, for everything that man sees or hears is stored in the subconscious, one way or another.
For example, some use their visual sense of sight to look at haram things or to look at what others have, envying them for their possessions or skills. This leads to the poisoning of one’s heart and mind.
When such poisons accumulate, our senses and cognitive faculties become ineffective. As a result, we become unable to comprehend the meanings of the Glorious Qur’an and benefit from its guidance.
Preventing these poisons from reaching the heart and mind can be achieved by stopping such glances and words which anger Allah – Glorified and Highly Exalted is He – in the early stages. This requires a strong will and perseverance.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya said that those who exercise regularly will strengthen their bodies and this applies to everything that needs to be strengthened such as our memory and mental abilities.
Therefore, a believer needs to exert continuous effort to improve the effectiveness of his senses and cognitive faculties gradually until he attains an insight by which he fully comprehends the signs of Allah – Glorified is He.
A haram glance is a poisonous arrow of Iblis directed at the heart.
Indeed, there is a direct link between the eye and the heart, and when the poison reaches the heart, it becomes corrupted and hardened.
As a result, this heart will turn the person away from Almighty Allah and from contemplating His verses.
Such a person will not benefit from the Qur’an or allow it to improve his behavior and attitude from its meanings.

Nevermore, click on my image to see the detail of this little fella. Beautiful........ yet sombering for me.

We cope with injustice because must. We don't encourage it. We do not facilitate it. We must change it, but only through non violance can our message be heard. - Model @alohaangelica photos by @HarryLHGFX - #flashbackfriday #flashback #swimwear #throwback #fitgirl #lifeisprecious (at Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxiIPVFwb5/?igshid=a8rq27oz21cj
I Need To Get This Off My Chest
If you do not agree with what I am about to say, then unfollow me the moment you finish reading this. If you agree with what I am about to say then re-blog, like, comment, share via other social media. I want this to be known.
My skin color is on one side of the spectrum. All while I have had coworkers and friends and those I care for on the other side of the spectrum. I am not afraid to admit that I am a 22-year-old white woman in the U.S., but that is simply because my vision is not in the monochromatic spectrum that so many people in this day and age seem to have.
They do not realize that everyone breathes the air produced by the plants around us.
The do not realize that the same blue blood that bleeds red courses through our body.
They do not seem to care that we are all made of the collagen and calcium as someone push down an elderly person or harms a child.
They may have sight but are blind to the stunning kaleidoscope we hold on one of the smaller organs of our bodies.
They do not understand the different textures of hair that grows each and every day.
People cannot seem to realize that the very things that make us ‘different’ are the most beautiful attributes a person has.
Lives are lost every day in this world of ours and yet we choose to focus on the small and petty things of not being included in a saying. Sometimes we have to get metaphorically pushed off the cliff of our own pride and stubbornness to see that each and every single person was created for a purpose no matter if you believe in God, Allah, Buddha, etc. It. Does. Not. Matter. We are all made from the same chemicals, the same compounds, the same cells.
Sure we each have variations about those genetic codes, but that is the beauty of Life. Life is so very precious, but we as human being have left the technicolor world of the present behind for the monochromatic sight of the past.
I find joy in working and having worked with people of all different colors, ethnic groups, religions, sexual orientation. That is because the monochromatic sight I had when I was such a young girl is blossoming into the most beautiful world of color I have ever known. It is continuously growing and evolving and changing.
I do not want to get older and be scared for the lives of my own future children or grandchildren. I don’t want be scared for the lives of the children of my friends, family, coworkers. I refuse to sit by any more and stay idle while people abuse power. I just can’t.
It pains me and hurts my heart when I see and hear what people go through on a daily basis. I have a voice, and I want to let everyone know that no matter what you also have a voice. If you cannot speak up now, then let me be your voice. Let me paint this monochromatic sight from the past into the technicolor world of the present. I want to help you because all Life is sacred and precious.
