[She believed material desires were toxic.]
Affirmation O Father, train the children of my senses not to wander away from Thy home. Turn my eyes within to gaze upon Thine ever changing beauty; train my ears to listen to Thine inward song. Material Desires Take Away the Desire for the Infinite Material desires take away the desire for the Infinite. Every day or so someone tells me I need this or that. It seems ridiculous, because I know that thousands do not have what I am told I “need.” If they don’t need it, why should I? Your only real need is God; there is no other necessity. Be not attached to possessions, music, books, food, or any other sense pleasures. In God you have eternal life. Become aware of this great truth; otherwise your appointments in life will take over, and you will die still bound to them. If you are one with Him, you are not compelled to return to this dream earth again. You are free to come and go as you like, to serve God and His children on earth. The only way to catch God is by love. Meditate upon Him, and then pray deeply: “Lord, I cannot live without You. You are the Power behind my consciousness. I love You. Reveal Yourself to me.” When you give up sleep to meditate upon Him, when you forsake selfishness and cry because of His suffering in your brothers, He comes to you. When you actually sacrifice for Him, He is caught in the net of your love. Nothing else can capture Him. - Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Magazine Winter 1971 p 9; Affirmation, Metaphysical Meditations p 100. *Photo by Ari Weinkle: http://photography.ariweinkle.com/

I Am Stronger Than You And Immune To Material Desires
in case this breaks containment at all the vibe here is for more like a renaissance faire or craft show than an anime or gaming convention. i am dragging our mermaid pod into this century and we are gonna have MERCH OPTIONS. I already sell some small jewelry and decorative things, this stuff is more about items I’d be outsourcing/ordering rather than making myself.
Aaaaand I just ordered all of the June/Sony Fujimi Orchestra drama CDs from Mandarake... I probably won’t order the other ones, just because they focus more on the classical music and I’ll be honest, I don’t need more CDs of classical music (especially for the pieces that the FO series has lol). Also threw in a few FO doujinshi because why not, it’s literally like .92 per book.
Jordan Dene's 'Be a Dragon' tank top! I love it!!!
ohmygod shoes. I can't get over how awesome these shoes are. 5 inch heels!! I'm so excited to wear them somewhere, out there, where the people are (:P). Because all of my friends are like 5'2" and beyond. Whereas, I stand at 4'11". As I said 5 inch heels!!! Plus,they're gorgeous looking and fit pretty comfortably. So... Yay! @beachgrl76 @lokiwholockfactory
