Freeformed Vision
~DREAMING IN BLACK~
Contributes to the Dream
Each of us, of many cultures & many ethnic backgrounds, have taken on what we’ve come to know as “The American Dream”. & It is to each of us a reflection of what we’re made of. The experience for Black Americans in this country however, has grown to become a very unique & peculiar experience distinct from any other we find here. Both the good & the ugly fuels this history. Both troubles & triumph, & natural talent contributed to constantly re-crafting the vibration of this country. So much so, that we find it often transcends the lows & woes every citizen faces at some point.
The issue with Black America however, is that despite all that she contributes to the development of this dream, she remains “under-developed” & dependent on a dream in a way that other’s were never subjected to.
This isn’t to paint the wrong narrative for Black America & what she’s contributed here in this country. Every contribution adds to the accomplishments of what becomes “black excellence”. These things are indeed her “highered standard” which has its great purpose(s). But besides these things its within me to see that she has an even HIGHER calling. & I see this standard as a witness of her capability to that call. It was never the case that she was un-capable of achieving what many others have made of this dream. I’m a living example of someone who in my own journey was “ever-learning yet never able to come into the knowledge of the truth.”(2 Tim 3:7) But what is it that was preventing me? There is a lack in guidance, poor sense of community, & a darkened conscience as a result of these things, But more than occasionally as a result of these things, I often found myself feeding into my own distractions, wandering at my own delusions. Caught up in a dream.
Vision Journals
My intention behind vision journaling aims at transcending those “lows & woes” of this dream through being of better service with-in it. My blog promotes a remission culture of core values, encouraging these with-in the Black American experience. Journaling helps us to utilize these core values into personal goals. & Through a process of self-reflection, we remember how to envision, manifest, & to turn goals into purpose.
For me, journaling serves as navigation for the process of my journey itself, giving us a glimpse of the journey from a spiritual perspective. For those who will to discern, I allow precepts to truly grab my attention, & I take the time to meditate on what spirit is saying to me as it pertains to my own journey & path. This is the art of journaling for me.
