Spiritual People

I think there's something astounding about so-called spirituality which I love. Spiritualism seems to be defined in such a way that people who surrender themselves to it see the world with sort of a 'veil of acceptance' from which one doesn't really need to understand the world. One only need be receptive to it.

I've also noticed there are so many spiritual thinkers who appreciate and embrace nonviolent communication as a framework of connection... and there's something to be seen there. I just can't quite pinpoint it.

Spiritual appreciation for life? Spiritual acceptance of souls in all living things? Connection with plants, animals and humanity? Just knowing that we're all connected? From a scientific perspective, we are all connected... that's just not the layman's understanding. Society and capitalism in particular tend to tell us it's every man for themself. Capitalism says, "You're on your own. But this thing. Your life will be easier."

As a scientific, analytical thinker, constantly trying to understand through asking, "why?" and "to what end?" ...there's something divinely comforting about spiritual people.

"Sensitive: The Untold Story

I think mom would have loved this documentary; Sensitive: The Untold Story. For obvious reasons, frankly... and I appreciate how they addressed how negatively society receives and treats male HSPs.

Alanis Morissette was interviewed and a few of her songs were featured. A few of her songs have always resonated with me... Perfect, for one. That I Would Be Good... I don't know it well but the parts of it which were played hit me pretty hard.

This world likes to silence sensitive men and turn them to stone. It likes to demand they shrink and then become loud and "strong" instead of developing capacities outside of the traditional.

...and we accommodate, because we're sensitive and all we're really looking for is some form of appreciation and support. We're seeking coregulation and if that means becoming a different person to find love, so be it.
