The Path of Anima Mundi is a metaphysical path where the practitioner follows life by developing his or her strengths and talents, and then sharing those with the world. A good example would be someone who loves to bake opening a bakery, and then donating some of the baked goods to a school bake sale to raise money for gym equipment. The ultimate goal of following your own path is to cleanse the spirit of the world by following what is most natural and least harmful. Being harmful and not following the path set for you leads to the spirit being marred, which slows down the process of renewal and creation.

In the fall of the year 1756 there were four simultaneous visions by people all over the world. None of their visions of the goddess were quite the same, because the goddess only appears in the way that would be most beneficial to the visionary.
The first took place on an unusually warm October afternoon in the United States. Four friends had gathered to have lunch together. The four friends were named Carol, Samuel, John, and Rhoda. Carol and Samuel were married, but they were unhappy because Samuel’s job kept him from home most of the time. John and Rhoda were siblings, but John had begun to resent Rhoda because she had turned down three marriage proposals and was still living at home. Rhoda was frustrated that her brother couldn’t accept the fact that she wouldn’t marry a man she couldn’t live with for the rest of her life. None of them were talking to anyone about their problems, so the friendship was beginning to be a farce.
They were eating lunch and chatting, and then none of them could move. Their vision did not change, but yet it was if they could see with an extra sense that everything seemed to be filled with energy. After it was over they all agreed it sounded like a woman’s voice, however it was not a human voice in any sense. The voice was coming from everything all at once, but not in a painful or intrusive manner.
She said that these four friends had lost their way on their individual paths. Without their true path to guide them, they also left the paths that led them to accepting each other. Their love for themselves and others must guide them. They must spread the message of following the path to those that had fallen off the way.
Samuel left his job, and went northwest to teach the following of the path. John went south to also spread the message. Rhoda stayed behind and kept the town they had lived in as their head office

| ACT |
[26 Oct 2007|07:29pm] |
[mood|  Nervous ]
Tomorrow is my second time taking the ACT. I don't feel so good.
I've been getting everything ready and swinging between being despondent and hyper. The fact that the night before I'm home by myself with my parents busy elsewhere doesn't help. Listening to music has helped.
I fell asleep sometime after five and woke up at six something. While I feel a bit better, my head hurts now.
This morning it was really bad. My morning was going awfully and I had woken up early sick to my stomach with worry. Then some guy who's a pervert a lot of the times tried to start up some random argument. I came far too close to punching him. Luckily, I mellowed out as the day wore on.

[mood|  Irritated ]
I'm really getting tired of going out every single night on errands, working on chores or homework, getting in the shower, and then going to bed. Then my weekends are taken up by work. Thank God I have Fall Break next week. If I didn't I'd probably start burning out and fall into a depression.
I sent in my application to Loyola. Now I have to have my transcripts sent out, then I'll prepare my other college's applications.
I start getting tutored in math and science for the ACT (I made a freakin' 28, and yet no one else is getting tutored except me) next week. Damn it'll suck. I need to review my basic math stuff to prepare.
And I just realized I'm driving to see a play after my ACT test. I knew there was something wrong with the outing. Adam and I are going to be burnt out. How can I enjoy a musical when I've been tortured with tests for hours? God I hate Mom and her stupid ideas. Why didn't she ask me if I wanted the tickets!?

I can't stop yawning.
I called my friend to share what I've written for our poetry project, which is tomorrow, but he hasn't called me back. Grrr. I'll call him at 8:45 if he doesn't call me back by then.
I'm really excited by my Economics class. He may be a Republican and have very different views from mine, but I'm learning more about business, money, investing, and other ideas then I ever have before. I don't know how anyone falls asleep in that class. I find it fascinating. I might buy a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad when I go to work Saturday.

[mood|  Sick ]
I ended up coming home from school just before first block, Psychology, was over because I wasn't feeling well at all.
I came home and fell asleep on the couch around 10:00, got up a few hours later and went to my room to sleep, and slept until 3:30. A big sign I'm not feeling good right there.
The substitute nurse for today--I didn't know where the other one was-- wouldn't let me go home since I didn't have a fever and I wasn't throwing up. I haven't had a fever in probably five years, and I wasn't sick to my stomach, so I went to the bathroom and called Dad on my cell phone. He checked me out around nine forty-five.

Oh my God, I just saw someone use an icon I made (the red Paradise Kiss one of Yukari).
I'm so freakin' excited that if I don't shut up now I'll just ramble incoherently.
A more coherent post later, perhaps.

| Good Day |
[06 Sep 2007|08:49pm] |
[mood|  Pleased ]
Today went very well.
I got my writing done. I got a page and a half extra then usual, which is five pages daily, so I am happy. I also wrote extra on my Morning Pages. The essays/short nonfiction I was writing didn't get worked on today, but I might work on that later today.
In Psychology my grades are, thus far; 104, 92, and a 100. I got my third test back today. She started the class saying only four people passed in the enire class. I was hoping one of them was me, and when she called me and three other people out into the hallway I assumed I was. She gave us the option of taking the retest, but since I had a hundred nd she had written "Excellent" under it, I said I'd pass. While the others were working, she came and put a grape sucker on my desk and smiled at me. I felt like a little kid, getting candy for getting a good grade, but hey I was also given a lot of free time to goof off.
In Econ I'm pretty sure I made a hundred on my test today.
In AP English I have a 96 average now, but with the grading curve I have a 98 average. We were reviewing for our Vocab test in teams, competing for extra credit and test exemption, and I was the one who the group turned to for answers when they didn't know.
In Library Intern the librarian gave me the copy of Shojo Beat that came in. They send her one once a year as a marketing ploy. She knows I read them, so she gave it to me when it came in today. It was awesome.
Then I went to the orthodontist and now only have to wear my retainer for eight hours instead of twelve.

I made some Paradise Kiss icons. I've been working on these for the past few days, and I feel like sharing them. ^^

[mood|  Pessimistic ]
Today is the two year anniversary for the day Hurricane Katrina came on shore.
I found it hard to watch a lot of the stuff on television. It made me emotional. I love New Orleans very much, and watching it try to slowly get back on its feet has been a saddening thing for me.

I've made a bunch of icons today and yesterday for my icon claim at ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sentient_icons at LJ. The link to that post is here. I'm experimenting with solid color layers and how it effects the icons.
I've been reading the Westmark trilogy by Llyod Alexander this week. It's been forever since I read them! I don't like them as much as I used to, which I found odd. I remember them being God's gift to book junkies, but now they're just pretty good.
I forgot my iPod at home this morning, which was very depressing during the bus ride to school. They had country music on full blast.
I'm glad to be home, fed, and with my computer and iPod.

| Exhaustion is an odd thing |
[16 Aug 2007|08:16pm] |
[mood|  Exhausted ]
I wonder why I am so tired? I really haven't done anything, except get up earlier and stress out over a few papers. Nothing to knock my feet from under me, because that's how I feel.
I have been exhausted since two thirty this afternoon. I haven't wrote hardly anything for today either, and I'm very disappointed in myself. But my handwriting started getting off the lines more then usual and I was writing stuff that didn't make sense, so I quit.
I think I might make a Wuthering Heights fanmix. Actually, I could make two I think. Caterine/Heathcliff pre and post-death.
My Economics teacher is bonkers. There is no other word for the man. He doesn't really so much teach Economics as life lessons--all of which I think are pretty relevant. Still, he's just so crazy. I was almost crying I was laughing so hard today.
I think I'm going to bed. Good night everyone.

| Hmmm, busy today |
[14 Aug 2007|09:36pm] |
[mood|  Productive ]
Considering how things went for me yesterday (it wasn't good, but I've been whining on my LJ so much that I'll spare you the agony) today was so much better. And, to be perfectly honest, if the next day is good then talking about the bad day I had before seems to ruin my mood. ^_~
I wrote 14 pages on my novel Blood and Vengence (which only adds up to an average of 2800 words with my handwriting, but that's better then my average goal of a thousand). It was a very emotional scene, and Peter and Angelina just kept talking. It obviously needs work, but that can be taken care of later.
I did well on my Hamlet test today in AP English. It was easy, luckily. ^^
I am almost done with my Wuthering Heights paper, and I have to write my two pages on The Great Gatsby, but that will be so much easier then the Wuthering Heights essay.
Only one thing irritated me today (except for Mom staying at school working irregardless of my papers, but that's Mom) and that was that, looking through the chapter on Gender Differences and Sexuality in Psychology, there was no mentioning of homosexuality. Androgyny was mentioned, but nothing was mentioned of transsexuals either. Somehow those two things seem like they ought to be mentioned, especially in that chapter. Then looking in the index, there is nothing in the entire book on it (but sexuality in general, but only specificed as hetersexual, was listed probably over ten times).
EDIT 1: Wuthering Heights essay is done
EDIT 2: Great Gatsby paper 1 is done.
EDIT 3: Gatsby paper 2 is done. I'M FREE! =D

| Not a happy camper part 2 |
[12 Aug 2007|08:16pm] |
[mood|  Depressed ]
Mom has been in a bad mood all day. Considering that, it means that I've been in a bad mood all day. Because Mom's irritation is absolutely contagious [/sarcasm].
We're cleaning the house today, which is bad enough on it's own. Combined with Mom's bitching that she's so tired "she's nauseated" and Dad reacting to her anger and taking it out on me, I feel awful. I didn't feel any better when I had a realization that, once I'm at college, it'll be even worse then here--there will be no room of my own to run to when I feel bad and need alone time. No privacy, no solitude, nothing. I about felt like jumping off a cliff when I thought of that.
I was dusting in the family room, and I had the horrible urge to just burst into tears.
Though today hasn't been totally bad though--I've become acquainted with my InsaneJournal and have joined quite a few asylums (basically comms). I also uploaded a bunch of usericons at IJ.
I hope tomorrow will be better.

| School and writing |
[10 Aug 2007|09:41pm] |
[mood|  Sad ]
Second day of school and I'm stuck in homeroom all day, again. I will go crazy if I'm in homeroom for more then fifteen minutes Monday. At least Becca and Andrea got to come and hang out with me.
I started another story today. I've been brewing on it since Wendsday, but last night was the first time I started writing it out. I was really into it and I was really interested in what was happening. I have probably over ten pages of it done now.
Anyway, I came home and started looking up Stephenie Meyer. I'm not sure what part of reading up on her success made me depressed (why would I feel sad? I mean, isn't envy the more obvious emotion?) but my stomach was all in knots and no matter how much I wrote to my story I wasn't into it.
I feel a bit better now, but I'm still not in the best of moods. This compounded with the fact that I'm exhausted is not making me a happy camper.
I feel really ashamed for feeling this way, because I love my work and I love hers as well, but I'm still rather sad after reading it.

[mood|  Tired ]
I've survived the first half day and full day of school. I'm in a surprisingly good mood--I think it's because I'm a senior. It means that I only have one more year left and then I'm done with high school.
My schedule for the semester:
Desktop Publishing
Economics
AP English
Library Intern
Dear God, this year will be a breeze compared to last year. Well, I doubt that many people had a schedule more rigerous then mine last semester in the entire junior class. It was worth it, though--now except for AP English and Drama 3, I'll probably have no homework or even work this year.
Guess who got their copy of Eclipse on Tuesday? Me! I just finished it up last night, and I love it! ♥ (and you know I do not use the hearts sign very often). I let Andrea borrow it, but I'm having an urge to read it again, and the thought of her having it away from me is driving me insane. It's sad. ^^
Everything about this book was too perfect! While I miss New Moon's depressed Bella, I love how the romance and the action was meshed so nicely together. There are no words, really. I really recommend the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
