Revisited

Same place, same song, same love, revisited.

Yet all feels different. Different. Somehow. Knowledge changes the perspective of things. It changes how we view things for what they are... that somehow, knowledge brings about actions and change. That we know that we know we will effect certain changes based on what we know.

Yet, would you double consider if that knowledge is false? Nope. For it is what has been said. And i would always love to take things at face value.... certain things you just dont need the extra effort to do mind reading.... That should be how life is like... right?

Once again, i feel you so close, so near... reminds me of the time that i thought that i was close, yet i wasnt. Probably it was just what i thought... that i thought that i can fall... i can drop away from this... from that... and still keep so close? False security i guess... don't you think?

Reminded....

FoP is in 2 weeks.... Anticipation. Vision. Dream.

Gift From Above

Do you always have the feeling that you know something? That you are so sure that it is definite? That it just cannot go apart from your plan? Do you?

Sometimes this sense of confidence is what makes you who you are. Yet at other times, it is that which causes you to fall... pathetically flat where you are.

You think you have reached, but you are all the more far from it.

Still remember yesterday, what you had spoken resounded in my ears after the first segment... I remember. It just felt like it materialised within the fraction of a few hours. Prayers never came true so fast... sadly, its not a prayer that could be trifled with.

You remember that moment, dont you? And right after the first segment, the applause that is heard for the next act was just so inspiring. It wasnt for me though, but it made me remember what you said. I remember there i was, stepping out from where i am, seeing things with a even more humble perspective. I did.

Somehow, the touch and feel felt different during the second segment, the flow, the mood, the articulation, the mastery... all just seemed to flow like they should... with no previous inhibition. It was pure mentalism.

Somehow, i will always remember what you said.
Rom 12:3.

Gift From Above
Use it to bless others, for His kingdom's sake.

Purity

Create in me a clean heart.
As i come away into your presence once more.

How much more could i not forgive after what you have done for me?

=)

Life

Is not what i thought. Things are not what they are always meant to be. its a changing world isnt it? Things can change within a fraction of a second... with the spur of an action, a twist of the tongue... it doesnt come close to edification.

Why should i even care so much if you don't? Maybe its because i treasure too much to even allow myself yo be affected... i shouldnt. Should i?

Still, whats said is said. Whats done is done. Turning back? Do i always have to turn back?

Still, i let go...

Why should you even cling on to something that doesnt bring you edification... Ever thought about it? Just because you are in a more privileged position doesnt mean you can use it as you wish...

Thanksgiving

How long do you take to reconcile with what you are right now? Time passes by ever so fast that one can just be so different within a couple of years... I look back and i see what I was last time, and i reflect and compare it with the current self. What's different? Almost everything.

For the better.

That i am thankful for what your light has led me to see...
That i am thankful that i can have these hands of faith to create anything your kingdom desires...
That i am thankful for what great friends you have blessed me with...
That i am thankful the strength you have put within me...
That i am thankful that you are always here when i need to talk to...
That i am thankful that the list is everlastingly long, and never ending, ever multiplying
I am thankful.

What more can man do unto me that i can not take?

Indefinite

Time is so short yet for some people it becomes shorter within a fraction of a second. When they see a visible lump protruding from within their skin or certain noticeable changes... everything changes within that second. That second when someone walks right next to your bed and tells you that they have seen something, and that the journey ahead of you which was once clear now becomes indefinite... definitely indefinite.

Sad isn't it? Anyone can get it... you... me... anyone. The little girl by the corner of the street, the stranger that walks into that grand building, the friend that you used to say hi and bye to, the close one that you are used to seeing and sharing everything with. Anyone. Human life is so fragile. We can plan how our lives go, yet we can never ensure how it will go.

Even with life, every single path is indefinite. How much more do you think it does not resemble a path that could easily be obstructed by barriers and bumps here and there, that you have to make a U turn, retreating from the path that you thought was the one that you would take? Do you really know where life would go? You are good at what you do, letting you see what lies ahead, yet the path always... always is shrouded with so many uncertainties. People around you influence what you think was once true.. that you feel affected and reconsider your initial stand point. Do you reconsider or do you hold to your initial standpoint?

You try....

I have made my move, yet all that is around me suggests that it is the wrong one, do i believe the dreams that could have come from Him, or do i believe the lies that have came from things all around me... Do i believe? It is your move now.

1 week of edification.

Use these hands for what they have learnt are to do as your will please, that what i do before i am gone will only edify your kingdom, that may you be remembered and i forgotten.

Allurette

Allure is on 29th August...

Awesomeness is only defined by what is done and created... not what is thought of and not accomplished. =)

Allure

When the sound of music emanates from within yourself and touches every single cell within your body, all the way from the limbs, moving upwards your trunk then up your spine and crescending at the level of your temples, you feel yourself at perfect ease. It's as though this waft of relaxation spreads beyond what your mind can even imagine. Every single thought is erased at that instant and you come so close to perfect peace... that you understand that all that is left is tranquility, that nothing else could even come close to distracting you.

The draw from the tone, the pitch, the melody, is ever so sweet. Sweeter than honey, gentler than the trickling streams, and like the unending river... it loops again and again in your mind, bringing you to where you though you never be after such a long day.

Tiredness seems to be non existent. It doesnt even come into the picture. All you feel is that soothing melody stroking every single cell in your body... soothing it... relaxing it. That you know that this is actually where you belong.

Allure.... I delve deep within to rise again knowing i have seen how deep your love is... i glance across the oceans to see how wide your acceptance is... It is... alluring.

Loss

I remember sitting there biting away at the burger on my hands... Somehow it just did not taste the way should be like. It was bland and tasteless. Very. Wonder how I actually finished that piece of food..

I remember still sitting there waiting the bus to come. Vehicles pass me by ... Fleeting through the corner of my eye. Somehow something just feels different. You know it. Don't you?

Its as though a part within you has been let go of... You feel somewhat lighter... Yet at the same time the inner structure is disturbed. Affected? Somewhat. I no longer fully comprehend how the body works... Emotions beyond words... No word truly describes what one feels...

I guess that's what happens when someone that you love and care about get hit by something so sudden and abrupt. Interestingly it breaks you down faster than incidents that hit you directly. Strange isnt it?

Is this what it means to live for others? That what other people around you feel would affect you more so than what you feel yourself? For you have let loose of what you should be feeling.. for yourself? Feels strange that one could feel exactly what others around you are going through... it felt like a hidden form of telepathy... as though you live through their lives within the fraction of a second... and come to a final state where you can comprehend.... in fact, more than comprehend... actually feeling what they felt... simultaneously. Strange.

I don't comprehend. Still... Why should it be like so?

Love & Judgement

Sometimes the person whom you love and care for the most becomes the person who hurts you the most.

What do you do when that happens?
Do you continue loving and caring for the person?
Or do you distant yourself further to prevent yourself from getting hurt?

Christianity is not perfect. It is the strive to perfection - in which perfection is defined by the image of Jesus.

We are all not perfect. No one is. Do you not know? Anyone who says he or she is perfect all in all is imperfection at its perfection.

You know something? Christians Judge, as do with all other people. Sad to say that... but it is the reality of things... how things are like in life.

When you see a person... you would definitely size up the person based on appearance, character, and talent. Whatever the person projects over in any of these areas is immediately pieced into a mental puzzle to be classified to your "dumping ground" or "good friends" area. Through conversation and actions, the person oscillates between either end of the spectrum.

Of course, those who go to the "good friends" spectrum, you find yourself talking to them more often, caring for them more than others, finding a increased willingness to help them as you know that they always accept you for who you are, and that whatever they say are never intentionally hurtful.

Then comes the "dumping ground", the place that they clutter together with their similar kind of character... you judge don't you? Based on? Values? Morals? What is the yardstick?

Yardstick... Where does one get one? How is it formed... you ask... Through experience, both that of others and that of yourself... Ginosko. That this yardstick is formed.

We strive not to judge... but fail miserably... thats why we are who we are... and not Jesus. No one ever comes to be Him. But we try. Failure is a measure of success. Isn't it?

So what's the rationale for " dumping ground" and "good friends"?

Ever wondered?

It is to prevent yourself from being hurt. That you know that if you put people from dumping ground in your good friends list... what they do and say... over time, gets overtly hurtful... cos you care for them much that what they say means so much to you...

What happens if "good friends" throw you hurtful words?

Same thing. You get hurt. I wouldnt care if someone from dumping ground said that. But if it was to come right from what you think... that would hurt... wouldnt it? Why? Cos i care...

Do i choose to distant myself that i wont be hurt anymore... that i could develop a kind of obsolete coldness that pushes every emotion away?

I wonder. People need encouragement, comfort, and support to spur each other on. Words that are hurtful are not meant to be said.

Let my words edify.

We are called to love and encourage one another.... covenant in you.

Going Beyond

70 %. Is that all you can take? Oh yes... it does elicit a cough response... that the burning sensation just floods your palate and overwhelms every single salivary gland. The feeling hits the brain within seconds... eroding any thoughts that one may previously have... well.. at least for a couple of seconds.. before the sensation of honey sweet aroma multiply within the oral cavity. Nice. Try it?

Wonder if that is what people normally do to dull their senses... to drown their knowledge of the world around them... that they may reach an area of perfect tranquility... free from any form of worries that may tug at them...All the strangulating ropes seem to be liberated ever so freely... interesting way man have found to allow them to come close to perfect peace..

Sadly. It does not last. Why? Isn't there a way for this peace to be perfect and eternal? Probably so... but definitely not within the formal theory... Still it is a irrefusable offer that one could always dwell in...

Guess God only gives as much as you can take... never beyond....
He knows so much more that you won't even know that who are you to judge the present whether it is good or not?
Trusting in You alone....

Touched

Amazing what some people can do for you even when you have not done much for them =)

Gratitude

It is not about the little things that you all had done throughout the concerts. Nope, its not. How much can a person remember with his limited capacity in his mind... that it is just impossible for one to remember every single thing... but yes.. the one thing that is forever etched in my mind is the conviction and willingness each of you had in your special way when you agreed to help.

The willingness to help just brought forth the concerts.... that i know that its not about me... its all about you guys. Remember someone coming up and telling me how much they admire how i can manage the concerts so well, my mind was on the efforts that each of you put forth. The commitment that every one of you had in your hearts. Without doubt, they surmount what i put in for the concert. A production is not a one man effort.

I love you all for who you are and not what you have done.

Gratitude is the memory of the heart.

More of You, Less of Me

Run was good. Realised how much more i am dependent on you when i am worn out physically... that you remember to carry on running the race because of the end that you can see in front of you... the end that you may or may not see..

Its a constant motivational force that drives you to persevere... its the same with life... isnt it? Just that life is a longer race... and doesnt end within the span of 1 hour... that it is influenced by people around us... as well as things around us... rather than just the mere track and greenery that envelopes our sight.

Even such a short journey was enough to drive thoughts of slowing down... giving up into my head.. do you not know that the devil is strong at suggestion? He is... even more so in life.

Persevere my young friend. That you will be mature and complete. If you lack wisdom, call out and it will be given freely. It was... for me, as it will be, to you.

Inevitably, looking through photos brought me back to the past concert... that i know that areas i had to improve on... for you all, who gave up time and effort so freely for the project. I am determined not to make the same mistake twice. And i will not. I promise. May Father lead the way upon the narrow path. You are always a lamp unto my feet.

Falling...

I don't want to. Guess i care too much to see either of us getting hurt. Guess my feelings are clouded by what i should really be feeling. How much more would this last? It should just go... go with my blessings that you may be happy and cheerful for who you are... I bless you... with all my heart.

Let thy feeling pass that i may be true to your will rather than mine. Let every step i take bring me closer towards your will and your desire... for i am no longer who i am ... let me always remember. Nothing that can take me away from you...

Let me remember who i am living for...

Thanksgiving

Once more, no matter how much i plan... you always lead the way. Turning out to be for the better in retrospect. How much more do you not trust Him? When He could give all he had for you... bearing reproach and abuse... what more could you not give up as well?

Broken Conviction

Break me... I felt myself crying out. When? Now. Where? Here. Why? Cos I felt you calling out to me. Reminding me of every single action that I acted on during the past few days. It was only days and I already felt so overwhelmed by all I have done. Is this who I am called to be? Does that attribute even come close to being christ like? Break me down father... My call of conviction tonight, won't you answer?

You did. Create in me a heart of humility. Father. Thank you. Thank you lord. Break down all the pride within... That all that I am is in you, all that I say would edify your people, all that I do would serve your kingdom. Once I promised to let you have control over my hands and skill... Now I give you control of my tongue, my mind... That full control is in you, father.

I do not ask for perfection.
I seek your salvation.
I do not ask for power.
I seek the seed of faith.
I do not belong here.
I have seen how you were broken for me, realised how you broke me too, that I would understand what it is to be broken for others...

To be a debtor. What I do for you is not what I need from you, its what I owe you.

Allure


Beautifully Alluring

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Contact

To let your mind run perfectly clear and let the sound of music flood your existence. There is nothing else purer when you are there alone at the clearing coming face to face with the one who gives you your destiny. Let every word that is uttered resound in your tympanic that you may feel and understand the deeper meaning within, allowing your soul to take root in the foundation that has already been laid.

Your motions are swift and continuous, like a flowing river; at times you speed up, at time you slow down, you isolate, as though the water that surrounds seems to hold you still, freezing you.

Your fluidity is pure and unbroken. Graceful like what it can be as the staff encircles that area around you, engulfing everything within, drawing a clear distinction between here and the outside.

I long to be able to continue fully in your presence, to be able to let your energy flow through my soul, shining with radiance that beautifies the world.

I open my eyes and am back to where i was... only stronger.

Refreshed & Ready

Finally the break is over and clinics will start once again ...

It was truly a fruitful break and once again we are ready to face what is ahead of us....

=)

Hope you 2 rested well too =D

Clash of the Titans

I wonder when clinics start again where would i be? Would i still have enough time and drive to devote myself to fulfilling your purpose in magic? Would i be able to juggle both at the same time? Would i have enough energy within me? Would i still that strong in those areas?

I wonder. But i have faith. =)

You will scale mountains and walk oceans... for you live by faith...

Saturday, June 20, 2009

Faith

That I realise that i can have complete faith in you whenever i need to perform... anything and everything will just happen because we already know it will happen.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, skill is in the hands of the conjurer, faith is in the heart of the mentalist.

Fulfillment

Its as though you can actually see what it will be like next time... in a couple of years... down the road... it all seems so clear as though you are living right through it right now.... Do you like that kind of life? Yes i do. Full of overflowing joy that spreads on to others. Being able to use your gift for others.

Meaningful? Yes. Very.

How much more do i long for you every passing day? To see what you would require of me to do for your kingdom. To be moulded by you in every single way till i am perfect in your sight. That i could be who i am in you. Above what the world seeks... above what people define me to be.... above what others dare me to achieve... above what my own ability can reach... above all.

Yesterday i made a covenant with you to serve in areas i have to serve. Not that i am not serving... but a physical form of stepping out commits me totally to you. That i would remember when and what it was that gave me the drive... that i would remember this motivation from within even when i am tired... that i could seek strength and solace from that kind of conviction when i am shaken or down. That you will remind me constantly of what i have pledged to you.

On a lighter note.... abel! Thanks for opening your house!! It was awesome! =) and your cat is super cute... love it. =) we should come to your house more often. And i guess even though only a handful of us were there... what was shared between was sufficient to remind us constantly of who we are in christ. =)

Elin. God Bless. It will be a wonderful year ahead for you... no matter what mountain lies in front of you... you will always scale it not just because we are behind you... but cos the lord will lift you up. Way above it so you can land safely on the other end. Stronger.. and with even more visions. =)

Covenant

Do you remember when was the last time you made a covenant with Him? One that you have sworn to keep... and follow... with all of your heart.. all your soul... for you already live for Him.

Do you remember?

Yet sometimes what we agree upon... to love others fervently... it is definitely agreed upon... but do we really carry what it means behind those words.

The words you said resound in my ears.

Primary Intention. Means of Doing It. Consequences.
The three make up an entity as to why we do what we do, and whether or not it is right or wrong.

When the crunch time comes... the time for you to make a decision.. such as doing a pr without consent... would you do it? Would you do it? Cos the others are looking at you? Expecting you to do it when he or she is turned over.... so that they do not even know it? Would you do it? At all? Or what would you do?

Get verbal consent? Of course... BUT what if they don't agree? You may say that that would make you look obviously dumb in the sight of the clinician as well as the other students... ppl may think... ppl may think.... you are trying to act righteous... you there trying to be someone else? Who are you trying to be? Jesus? You are not even close to him... so stop acting....

Its just respecting the patients dignity. Without dignity... ppl are just like products.. being used for every other purpose... to others gain... not even considering whether it hurts others... whether this person is still a living soul... a child of God... someone that we have promised long ago to love fervently. For we have agreed upon that... haven't we? Don't we remember what we said? Loving others fervently?

You read the bible don't you? Don't you remember assuredly i say to you what you do onto others, you have also done onto me? Do you think for one moment... that Father will let it pass by cos of ur own primary intention to learn... but with the wrong means? Would you even do the pr IF it was Jesus himself there, lying there...? You would? Do you not know how much he had already went through just for us? And you still bear to give him that kind of treatment?

I cant... i .... just cant. Remind me father... remind me... for my soul lives for you ... seeking your face.. give us strength to stand up to the reality of this world... let us see beyond every soul that we even come close to cutting down... a way... father... to handle it...

A World With A Vision

Ever fasted before? And felt that kind of hunger and rummaging in your stomach? As though something was clenching your stomach and your world starts to slow down and spin a little?

What do you do to solve that? Food. =) Eat.

Every piece of food that we consume is something that we take for granted. Do you ever think of whether you are going to have food for the next meal in the day? I guess not... you probably think of what you want to buy to eat...

World Vision: A Vision for the World... To see famine end.... To see Children not worrying about their next meal... Whether there is indeed food on the table for them to satisfy their hunger pangs...

Would you think of them next time before you cast away food on the plate.. just because you are full.. you dun feel like eating...?

Salvos... A triad... To Salvation. =)

Rememberance & Growth

When you look back at so many years of magic... its like... 8 years plus? So much memories.. so much props... so many tricks... do you remember when you first did every single effect? They are so dear and close to your heart... remember the first time you performed magic? The first time when you brought that few cards to showcase that effect? You remember it don't you?

Yet right now... growing up.. it seems like as we grow up... we let go of things around us and we don't grow back. We grow up. That's what life is all about. Moving on. Proceeding from glory to glory.

Do you still remember those hands that trembled before the few audience? Now they are hands equipped with confidence and definitive touch... Amazing dexterity and swiftness.... We don't grow back to who we were....

I cast down so many effects.... effects that i feel i have outgrown. There's so much more out there ... ever waiting for the mind to explore and revel in...

That first touch that changed my life.... another touch that brought me back from pieces.... one more that gave me visions and dreams.... and to know that what we could achieve is no longer limited by what we perceive... its all... supernatural.
