Tweets - December 19th - Competition and Healing

No, competition does not breed any of these things. Competition brings to light what is already there in us (even when hidden in our darkness).

Prophecy? I don't know. But it's interesting that this correction came to me today, exactly a year later.

As for how it came to me, well, even though it's simple enough to perceive in hindsight, it is the result of a few things.

I mentioned some time ago that I have dermatitis that presents itself on various areas of my skin, including my scalp. It's also present on my face, especially where there is hair, such as my beard and my eyebrows.

My skin looked and felt great for a good while, but a few weeks ago I noticed an uptick in itching on my scalp and a few days ago, I noticed that the skin around my beard and eyebrows were itching and "flaring up".

These things do occur with stress, I noticed some time ago. My body does not respond well to perpetual stress (I have a history stress-induced eye twitches, migraines, and dermatitis flare-ups).

I haven't had a migraine in many years, and haven't had stress-induced eye twitches in a few years as well, so I'd been wondering where this skin flare-up had been coming from.

My first thought was to think about what I had been eating, but I hadn't been eating anything out of the ordinary - certainly not for weeks at a time. My diet is primarily whole foods/grains, vegetables, and very little meat on some days (chicken, turkey, sometimes fish).

I take out the trash twice a month maybe. I drink tea and filtered water daily, a cup of coffee weekday mornings (I usually drink half and toss the rest - I only prefer it while it's hot or very cold or until I get tired of the taste), sometimes juice and soda if I have them.

I talk to God about everything, and this skin issue was one of the things I talked to God about. Then I understood again, "the salvation of the body is the salvation of the Garden, through and through".

A few weeks ago, I downloaded a Spades app on my tablet. I'd been playing that game almost everyday since. Though I didn't experience any "anger", "pride", or "aggression" - when I played with partners I did experience "expectation" (of my partners, and more deeply of myself).

I'm not talking about the agreed-upon expectations between myself and my partners (which we are bound by in a joint effort), but rather the expectation to not always be human (we sometimes make mistakes repeatedly, we're sometimes forgetful even when we're careful, we sometimes lack foresight even when see clearly).

I expected my partners to not always be human by rolling my eyes (condemning them) when I thought they played strangely or made a mistake. But more importantly, I agreed to not be human myself in order to ensure my partners were pleased with my performance; I thought it was what my partners expected of me (and a few of them made known to me that it's exactly what they expected by insulting me when I made a mistake or attempting to pressure me so I would avoid making them in the future).

Attempting to meet the lofty standards of others caused me undue stress, and my flesh cried out.

I'm requiring some specific adjustments of myself and this place.

Mistakes should bring about care through correction and justice, and never judgment and condemnation (not even of oneself). We all know how we hate to be treated.

I ask this to seedlings: Was I condemned when I ate undercooked pigeon peas or was I healed? Though these things may not seem like much of a big deal, they are truth, and therefore, important for our sakes (our understanding, a healthy mind, and our physical and ongoing healing).

While outside a few moments ago, 2 spacecrafts became luminous and flew one behind the other. They flew at the same speed, in close proximity to one another (from my perspective), in a wide arc pattern (rather than straight). Then both went dim, one after the other.
