Beauty, at the end of day, lies in the eye of the beholder
Same can be said about Nigerian women
I love the way our Naija women's different shades of ebony, black and whatnot colours sit on them
All Naija women, whatever their shape and size have this beauty, aura, self-belief, self confidence and sexuality that they ooze

Okay, I agreegrin

"You know what Muttley is famous for, don't cha?"

Here is my confession
You see, I all along had thought your handle had to do with being a Macauley, as in being Miss Macauley
What a completely uninspired wild guess that has turned out to be

Well I didnt pray before choosing MuttleyLaff
Muttley one of my fav fictional cartoon characters is known best for his mischievous, wheezing laughter
Since I at times, laugh like Muttley, the MuttleyLaff handle, which is a merger of Muttley and the Laugh just seemed appropriate for me to pick
I do the Muttley laugh quite often when reading posts

Looool
I just watched a clip of the muttley laugh.

Hahahaha.
You give the impression you are a nerd.
They are the only category of grown men who watch cartoons with so much fervor. I used to have a bestie like that.

Someone like me now, the only cartoons I remember are Scooby doo, tom and jerry, pinky and the brain and ermmmm...what's the name of that one again oooo
cheesy

That laugh seemed a lot like a mix of whistling and laughter.

My moniker is pronounced Meez-My-Coleeeeee.

I trawled the internet before asking you
because the one I found by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers which happened to have 48 laws had nothing in it about smiling,
so I thought I better ask you for the name behind the laws

I found one or two of the laws objectionable due to their selfish mean streak cold and calculated undertones
but the rest I majorly agree with and without being aware of the laws have already been doing them

Okay..

You have helped me. I have a four months old daughter. I'm always thinking how to teach her. My desire is to teach her to deeply love and value herself in a way that opens her up to value and love others. I desire to teach her to believe in herself. Once again I say you have helped me.


Lol
I actually felt like I was on the stand.

Nonetheless, it is good to know you are helped.

When I gave to birth to ours.
I remember looking at her, I think I cried that day.
I was at a loss for how to be a mom.
It was a responsibility I totally welcomed, yes.
But I was not sure how to go about it.

After a bit, I felt comforted, then strengthened.

Fulton Sheen is one of the most sweetly expressive spiritual teachers of the Catholic Church. He's late now though.
I would have become a Catholic ooo but I can't stand rituals and the adoration they give to Mary.

So what would you teach your child or children now that you've gone your own way as far as spiritual matters are concerned.

Lol
I try not to worry my head over those details.
I hope that my actions teach them more than my words.

I hope to inculcate values that border on respect, kindness, forgiveness, Love, discipline etc.

The question of what God to believe in, especially after they are taught CRK will arise, well, till we get to that bridge. I have always trusted the divine for wisdom for the moment. I would try to point them to God within.

If it is possible to raise them in a school without any religious teaching, I would.

Soooo

I've wondered what inspired the moniker
Mujtahida.

This is meant to make you laugh.

I first came across the moniker on the super eagles thread when Dave drew me out of hiding.
And in my mind I'm like "this one na stark Muslim"
See name!

It conjures some Jihadist who fights Allah's holy wars.
One to be feared at that.

When I first saw the moniker mention me, I could feel a bit of "huh what is this one going to say to me kwanu"
And then as I read your discourse, it dawned on me I was wrong, utterly wrong.

Soooo, pray tell, what's the story behind the sobriquet?

Mujtahida:

The Abrahamic religions promote a dominant solitary God exclusive to its adherents in contrast to the tolerance of the polytheistic religions. Someone said that Indian polytheism with its many gods never knew a religious war for thousands of years. But now fundamentalism has crept into Hinduism in reaction to Islam.
It's not for nothing that the Abrahamic religions have fought so many wars- their histories is filled with carnage, pillage and bloodletting. Exclusivity over such a 'precious thing as God' is bound to cause enmity, rivalry, the desire to impose and control, resistance and eventually war.

But the adherents of this religions rarely look outside their religions. Christians do not know that so called miracles exists in other religions or even if they do they ascribe it to the devil. They do not know that speaking in tongues predated Pentecost and was well known in the ancient world as glossalia, they do not know that even without Christ Buddhist monks have an ineffable sense of place and tranquillity which many Christians as 'children of God' do not have even with all their prayers and fasting.
Below are some of the most popular pictures in the world :A young Buddhist monk burned himself to death in Saigon's Market Square, to protest the government's religious policies in1963. He sat down in the famous lotus position without flinching one bit, without uttering so much as even a whimper as the flames grind his body to ashes. Amazingly his heart was not burnt. it was intact. Isn't that miraculous? What deep peace and fortitude. Away with the lies of exclusivity. I'm sure if any people or group claims that the sun belongs to them we'd laugh them to scorn, so also should we treat any religion that lays exclusive claims on God.

This is stirring.
Positively stirring.

I just confirmed the burning monk ish.

Yeah I think as time goes on non religious people will start meeting in Nigeria too but I have realised that once structures are put on the spiritual it dies. I wish I could have someone who we could just seat down quietly together and meditate without saying a word.

People say Enya is demonic. But I trust you know by now that that is a code word for lack of understanding. What people do not understand, they demonise. Enya sings in gaelic which is a richly poetic language and of course many do not understand.

As far as music is concerned I have very weird taste of music but whatever the genre if I do feel poetry in it I don't listen to it.
You are amazing though

Well, starting a meeting is cool.
It's great when like minds rub.
But what I do not subscribe to is all that offering, tithe, donation, contribution gig.

Like you said, I have desired too to have some kind of meet where we just meditate. I figure it would help me with consistency.

I was at this brink of creating a thread and calling for a WhatsApp group gig for people of like minds.
But something always stops me.
No matter how noble the idea, I could be opening myself and other innocents to nonsensicalities.

So far, so good, in my life, I have met awesome people. AWESOME.
I didn't ask for them per se, they just happened.
One of my friends believes it's a soul thing.
More like soul agreements that we meet certain people at certain times in our lives. When their purpose is done, they move on....and we move on too.

I quite agree @Enya.

Oh well, per music, I am genreless.
The kind of music I enjoy lately, if I were told that I would someday, I woulda given the person HolyGhost slapsgrin cheesy

jamie1994:

I really don't want marriage.. OH GOD cry

Hi Jamie,

Relax, we are not sure you are the baby's father yet, are we?

For all we know, she might have noticed she is pregnant, and because she sees that the one who is responsible won't give her face, she finds a way to corner you and then puts it all on you.

I don't understand why she would tell you to do the do without protection and then goes ahead to proclaim she won't get pregnant, could that be because she was already pregnant?

Nna, fear women o.
If you know what is good for you, I advise you to fear women, including me, yes...until proven otherwise.

Now, what you should do is this...

Stamp your feet on the ground, with a straight face, tell her that you are not sure about the whole thing....that you need time to think.

Tell her that you do not wish to marry her and you do not wish for her to throw the child away.

You should inform her that whether she agrees or not, that you are going to her parents to tell them what happened and her claim of being pregnant for you.

Ehen, then you self, get ready to be a father.
When you were doing it, you should have known that it could happen that she gets pregnant despite her claim to the contrary.

What has happened has happened.

Inform your family people too.

But don't marry her just because she says she is pregnant with your child.
Biko.

Okay Muttleylaff.

I see it's no longer define, but now describe.

Ehn ehn

Let me see if I can coin a description.

I have to add though...
This description....it is nothing compared to what divinity really is. In shot I dunno.
But let me try.

When I think of God...Father I prefer.

I think of a being who is filled with nothing short of love in its truest, purest sense. (Even I cannot fully grasp the depth of this statement).

I think of a being who is filled with indescribable power, ernomous awesomeness, and magnificence; Light, pure, light. (Bible might have influenced this thinking)

I also picture him and myself as royalty.
So powerful a being, but when we are together, it's like he just ordinary, like a loving father who dotes on his carefree girl child.

I'm aware how soooo powerful he is, yet, he relates to me like an ordinary person...more like bringing himself to my level while maintaining all that load of awesomeness.

When I seek to reconnect or realign with divinity within..
I feel this powerful wave of calm, of quiet strength, deep love, compassion, joy, laughter, glowing eyes, sometimes it gets ticklish as well, I feel full of power, like there's nothing that's impossible.

Mehn, it's real, it's alive.
phew!!

I should stop here.

Now, you tell me about yours.

Remember to keep the flow, be in the flow and be one with the flow. Even in the mystery of unknowing one still comes to know. Even in the flow one finds a still point. Do you know that the eye(as in the centre) of a storm is always calm?
once you know, mystery disappears, once you stand still you stand the danger of getting stuck. So I say go with the flow, allow the mystery. That's the only way to stay involved and not be sucked into the pipe of aloofness. Don't be boxed in a corner. Wild child, that's what we are. Indian Nobel prize poet Rabidranath Tagore said that the Eternal cry is more. More, more, more. That's why you must keep moving with your centre, keep moving into your center. Let it go on and on or like Celine Dion sang your heart(your center) will go on

I could use a fellowship of more people like you.
Well, it gets better, no?

I like the perspective you bring.

Now you speak of Enya, I remember with fondness how my mentors of the day demonized her.

I should listen to her sometime.
I used to be a fan of music, yeah?
But lately, not so much, there was a time when I needed music to meditate; to go within.

Nowadays, I find it is easier to just go in when I want to. That's growth I thinkgrin

Mujtahida:

Once you define God you have fallen into the trap of the religions. Even Christianity doesn't define God. It only ascribes divine attributes to him.

I taya o o.

I see myself as an extension, a part of this divinity, God if you may, which humanity has tried so much to decipher. It is why I can proclaim that as he is, so am I.....it's more of a desire. Something I am, but still wish to attain. Is that a paradox or an irony? cheesy

I recognize a discourse whose inherent motive is to box me in a corner, and I treat for what it is.

How can you ask me to define someone abi is it something I am no longer sure exists in the way I was taught.

Would that not be akin to playing to a gallery or even deceiving myself?

I don't know, but I wish to know...or re-know, perhaps un-know, then know.

Honestly, when you finally, or let me say, when you begin to let go of dogmatic understanding, it tends to get upsetting.

It"s like you become an angry bird (which is what I suspect I am now) grin

You become that way because there is no anchor of sorts anymore.

And until you find some calm, and deliberately breathe in and out, thereby going within, and connecting with the very essence of your life in some kind of middle point, then you might continue to feel that unrest, which may later morph into aloofness.

As much as I like defining things and having answers, there are just somethings that are beyond me at the moment, and I kinda like it.

It makes me aspire, y'know, like wanting to reach out for more.

What am I even sayinggrin
