"i'm reachin' out to the human radio
to get a jump on 'em, a witch hunt on 'em
get the money, throw the tantrum
the human radio is playin' your anthem..."
i have to say this: there are some extremely rare folk that will somehow (either naturally or developed over time) have the same frequency as you do...down to the decimal points. they are usually family or lovers but sometimes they are folk you ain't even met yet. you feel their deep emotional states even when they've become adept at hiding (or dismissing) them entirely. there are many times my mother will call me and instead of saying "hello" will immediately ask "what's going on with you?". that is where it is used for good. that for me is a normal thing and it can also be a pain in my ass. why? because there are times i'll know when something's goin on with someone that will always give me a "i'm fine". in those cases, i've learned to just pray over them and deal with the emotion. lately i've perceived a sense of deep heartache i know is not mine but for some reason, i also "know" this emotion is not theirs either or in the least is meant to drive them into a state of sorrow or confusion over something perceived in error. how do i know this? it comes with the gig. they may be entering into a state of sorrow they are meant to help someone else with...someone close to them. with some of these, i know it is no longer my place to say. not my choice...
now, there are people that will tell you to embrace all emotion...even if it makes no sense. to a point, i agree with the premise but if you are experiencing an emotion that is unjustified by reason (you know that thing we humans have to use that is in short supply) then either shelve it, surrender it in prayer or knock on some doors to see who may need help. do not entertain something you know is a 2 but are feeling as a damn 9. you will make huge mistakes in judgment and you will also start sobbing over hangnails. this is mainly for those that lack the self-control that tempers expression. "trusting your feelings" only works AFTER you've interpreted them properly. you feelin something? give it time and think it through before going all half-cocked. everyone has somebody you'd rather not text with too much because you know they will read into something you say as a negative. these folk, for whatever reason, do not take the time to question themselves before allowing a conclusion to set in. before you know it, they're pissed at you and you don't know why. it's a normal thing that happens. as a writer, that happens with me all the time but i cannot parse my words for fear they will be misinterpreted. it's frustrating as hell sometimes but i can't be mad at them so i deal with it since its all i can do. gotta wait until they figure out you didnt mean what they think you did. some will read that and "textbook" shout "gaslighting!!" but gaslighting requires one to gain power over another and this is far from that. this is a call for everyone not to waste time on emotions that drain you for nothin. to really explore what you're feeling and more importantly...why. after that...you do you. if you are indeed picking someone else up...you might just be in a position to help, listen or pray.
so why this topic today? because i give a sh*t and topics like this are seldom discussed outside of quackery. i see more and more folk that have this ability getting confused or thinkin they're losing it in this emotionally charged era. these will draw and be drawn to hearts and minds that will have them opening portals and doors they DO NOT want to be opening. 9 times out of 10, what comes through will not be having their best interests at heart. remember that this is a "soul" thing (human) way more than it is a spiritual thing. you want to cultivate it? learn how your internals work the same way you would learn a friend or lover. learn to take the time to listen to your hearts true direction. test and temper intent. we all get things wrong about people yes? what makes you think you wont get anything wrong about "you"? i get things wrong all the damn time and people call me wise...go figure. anyway...we return you back to your regularly scheduled programming. i'm out...
