The Force Is Me. - Mind Talk by Jade Black

โ€œThe light- It’s always been there. It will guide you.โ€

~ Maz Kanata

I sat down in the theater to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens last month. To be honest, it was a day where my perspective on life was not one full of hope, feelings of joy or love. I have found that when I am in need, God/the universe always gives me what I need in the exact timing I require it, and to my expectation this day was no different. God/the universe speaks to me through all forms of life. This may be a friend, a blog post on Tiny Buddha, and even a movie. Today it was a movie that increased my joy and helped me change my perspective.

I went into Star Wars looking for some spiritual fuel and absolutely loved what I found. This movie spoke to me in such a way that I left feeling completely ready to take on 2016. I felt empowered and beautiful (strange, I know), but I also felt amazed that I connected with yet another Hollywood film in a deep spiritual and meaningful way.  My spiritual fuel came from the way I likened the ‘force’ to my understanding of God (reality) and felt that these were interchangeable terms. It spoke to me about my relationship with nature, a higher power and my knowingness that we are all connected. One line in particular stuck out to me, Maz Kanata said “The Force, It’s calling to you. Just let it in.” I immediately reflected on my personal struggle in surrendering my own life and finding the courage to trust that my life is moving along a perfect and completely whole path. The knowing that in this moment I am exactly where I need to beโ€ฆ

The movie also reminded me that my spiritual desires were constantly calling to me, and directing me to live my most authentic life. All I had to do was trust in the infinite wisdom of the universe, my God, and/or love. After all, one of my biggest life lessons has been to give my life to the nature of things and be steadfast in my knowledge that I too was deserving of love and purpose. Also, that when I needed it most that my ‘force’ would call onto me and invite me into a place of assured comfort and gentle mercy.

This movie reminded me to trust in the truth that not only am I guided by a ‘force’ so powerful and intelligent, but to rejoice in the fact that I am a valued aspect of this ‘force’. The ‘force’ lives in me! When you connect with that ‘force’ within, one’s perspective on life changes. A lightness to life overcomes ones being and joy is ever present. Rumi once said that we are not a drop of water in the ocean, we are the entire ocean in a single drop and this movie brought my attention back to this impression. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a vehicle for another mini spiritual awakening. Who knew? How perfect and unsuspecting. I wrote this with the intention to remind someone that God, the universe, the ‘force’ (which ever you call it) is constantly looking for ways to inspire and engage you. The more mindful we are of this, the more we will have the knowing in our hearts that we are never alone on this spiritual journey.  Every moment in life is speaking to us…it speaks loudly about the comforts we so desperately long for… love and inspired purpose.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

For I chose to befriend the walk that marked the

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness

Childhood Impact: As a child, I felt like no one accepted me for who I was.
