the 4 efforts of glitter

To me, there are four aspects of effort which balance the life of glitter.

Physique.
Expression.
Innovation. 
Connectivity.

It is through the excavation of these balanced four in your times, in your spaces, that the affect of glitter is in its most pure and full force.
....I know, you want help to define these axis of energy--well, that will take more than a few hours of speaking and listening....

surround yourself in glitter

Being around those people who do not believe in your goals, who do not support you in your goals, hurt you. They actually distract and hinder your development.

"I learned that the most dangerous heart is from one that claims to love you earnestly but without commitment; bolts with the wind when reality sets in and finds the object of affection less favourable than its ideals or set expectations."

Run to your passion, to your values, to what you are good at, to what you believe in, to what you love. Run away from those of with other expectations for you, or ideas of what you "should do".

Ask for good questions. Ask for questions that help you see you more fully, and get you to problem solve..... ask for questions that keep you creative.

Mine the glitter. That will be your success!

I am filled with anger and rage and frustration. 
I am filled with love and compassion and glitter.

Do not love recklessly

I learned that the most dangerous heart is that which does not know what love entails but carelessly ensnares another.
I learned that the most dangerous heart is from one that claims to love you earnestly but without commitment; bolts with the wind when reality sets in and finds the object of affection less favourable than its ideals or set expectations.
I learned that the most dangerous heart is that which can change in a heartbeat and discard another ruthlessly - numb, with no care of how painful, traumatic and heartbreaking it would be.
I learned that words of love are so good to hear and it is prudent not to trust them. These can just be words without any meaning.
I learned that people you love most can be the ones to not mind turning your world upside down and leave you out hanging to dry.
I learned that love is a choice and a commitment to an imperfect person. It is complete acceptance of both light and darkness.
I learned that love is a journey of happy and wholehearted compromises. We can't always have all the qualities and conditions we look for but we can choose to learn and appreciate our differences; motivate each other for the better.
Believe in love but DO NOT LOVE RECKLESSLY.

beauty and brains

To say you like something, to say you love something, exposes you and your emotions/feelings/feels--it makes you vulnerable.

Scopophilia, the joy of looking.

To admit we like something, puts us in a fragile state. If we are to admit we like something, from our sexual energy, the stakes are higher. To love to look at sexy things puts us in a temporary state fragility--which could leave us broken, or fulfilled.

Only in a state of openness can we receive light, but it can also allow in the darkness.

To admit to a person or enigma that we love their look, or by extension, them, we are opening a part of ourselves--it is a phenomenal gift of presence and energy. If that enigma or person, does not like us back--it hurts... If that enigma or person is then critical of us, for our feelings, we feel attacked--and more, profoundly wounded if we let this criticism to enter our psyche, heart, and ego... because we were open.... because we were open....

Perhaps that is why we tend to, as a population, love dumb blondes, or muscle without brains--dumb and pretty. They are not a threat to us. We can desire them and like them without risking criticism. We can relish in our scopophilia without worry or woe. It keeps us in power.

This is, of course, not revolutionary, nor is it an aspect of love...this is an aspect of greed and ego... this is why beauty and brains tend to scare us so much.... this is why beauty and brains are banished to the fringe, or pushed behind glass and into the shadows.....but I sense there is of course more to unpack....
