    I was wrong...

    Well seeing as I am first and foremost myself, I will only be able to see me-ness in the things and people around me. Seems pretty biased to me. Hence Augustine says this about understanding: "The only way to understand something is to love it first, that is, to study it with sympathy, patience...

    Soul Mates

    I'm in a very strange situation right now where I have two very close guy friends who I could see as "soulmates". One is incredibly similar to me externally. We tend to interact with the world in the same way. We share interests and passions...and not only the interests, but the reasoning...

    I was wrong...

    Yep. Same thing, different words. :) My friend James explains it like this: (I have ridiculously brilliant friends who I love a whole freaking lot. lol.)

    I was wrong...

    Yes - beginning to focus on the Nowness of Now, realizing that the future doesn't exist and the past is only a memory - and that the moment I'm in is like a prism, kind of, that transforms the past and allows me to learn from it.

    I was wrong...

    I had the same experience re: religious upbringing...I had the great great great luck to be learning about identity theory in a psychology class as I went though a major life crisis, which startled me into reflective thinking...otherwise I would've been stuck in trying to make everything...

    Why the ISTJ animosity?

    Personally, I LOVE my one ISTJ friend. We have the absolute best times together, laughing and goofing off and generally being terrifyingly creepy. So, no hatred here. Just love.

    The Cafe Test

    You Are Expressive During your downtime, you like to develop ideas and work on creative projects. You secretly wish that you could be a more creative and artistic person. Making art is a passion of yours. You feel optimistic about the world, and you feel like you deal with everyday life well...

    What's in a name?

    My given name is Jessica, but everyone calls me Jessie - I'm not a Jessica. I just...am not. I'm not even sure how I feel about "Jessie"...it's closer than Jessica, for sure. My first and middle names combined, though - "Jessica Lynn" - that's me. "Jessie Lynn" isn't. I've thought about...

    [PUG] Christiantiy

    Also I agree with this. Someone, somewhere, said that you can't pray the things that are outside of you - you can only pray the things that are inside of you - which makes total and complete sense, because after all you are yourself, and you can only really truly MEAN things when they are...

    [PUG] Christiantiy

    I think that clearly there's some bits of it that make more sense than others - and clearly God is infinite and we are not going to understand an infinite God - but I don't really agree with Barnabas, that it's not information you need - the human brain is a strange thing; most of the time if...

    Seek first to understand...

    Most of the time, when I don't understand someone or they don't understand me, it ends up that we are trying to describe the same concept, but just in different words. And usually my brain tends to be the more flexible of the two - I think it comes from being an INFP, partly. One friend in...
