I am keeping this entry as part of an ongoing record: lived experience, spiritual inquiry, and the patient work of finding language for what moves between the visible and the unseen.
It’s been a good day overall. I got a haircut, took care of most of my laundry, and I feel noticeably better. There’s something almost therapeutic about getting a haircut—it’s like a cleansing ritual that brings a sense of rejuvenation and youthfulness. It’s a simple act, but it carries with it a kind of quiet magic, a secret to life that we often overlook. The act of shedding the old, of trimming away the unnecessary, leaves me feeling lighter, more peaceful, and more optimistic.
This sense of renewal is something I realize I need more of, especially considering how important it is to maintain a positive mindset. Life throws so much negativity our way—sometimes from circumstances beyond our control, sometimes from within ourselves—and it’s exhausting. I’m tired of the negativity, sick of it really. It’s not just about having a bad day or encountering difficult people; it feels deeper, like there’s a negative energy that lingers and manipulates, pulling at the edges of my peace.
What I’ve come to understand is that the problem isn’t always about the person or their intentions. There’s that old saying, “If you focus on the negative, you create negative,” but it doesn’t acknowledge the full picture. Most of us aren’t trying to dwell on negativity; rather, we’re grappling with negative spiritual forces, energies that surround us and subtly influence our thoughts and actions.
It’s not really about what one allows into their life, because if I’m being honest with myself, I’ve seen too many instances—both in my own life and in others’—where negative spiritual forces have lingered nearby, despite no permission being granted.
No one willingly invites harm into their lives. No one consciously allows spiritual forces that mean them harm to take hold. This is truth and yet there are those who continue to say that it might be what one allows within ones circle that is the problem which in my case was bullshit.

Light Wizard Preacher w. a Machine Gun – Part 1:
The heavens stir, and a voice as old as time itself whispers through the ether, calling forth the Light Wizard Preacher. The air around you shimmers with the ethereal glow of divine power, and the ground beneath your feet trembles as you feel the weight of an ancient destiny pressing upon you. You are not just a warrior; you are a beacon of light, a vessel of divine justice, armed with a holy machine gun that burns with the fury of a thousand suns.
The world before you is dark, twisted by corruption and shadow. But you are not afraid. For you are the Light Wizard Preacher, and your mission is clear: to purge this land of all evil, to bring the light of righteousness to every corner of this cursed realm.
You stand at the edge of a desolate battlefield, the remnants of a once-great city sprawled out before you, now overrun by creatures of darkness. The sky is thick with storm clouds, lightning crackling through the air as the heavens themselves seem to rage against the corruption below. In your hand, the Machine Gun of the Divine hums with holy energy, its barrel glowing with a golden light that promises destruction to any who would stand against you.
But before you step onto the battlefield, you know that your first act must be to call upon the light, to preach a sermon that will rally the forces of good and weaken the resolve of the wicked.
With a voice that echoes across the land, you begin your sermon:
“Children of the Light, hear me now! We stand on the brink of the final battle, where the forces of darkness seek to drown this world in shadow. But we shall not falter! For our faith is our shield, our righteousness our sword, and with the divine light as our guide, we shall cleanse this land of every evil, every corruption, every blasphemy that dares to defile the sacred.”
As you speak, the air around you pulses with power, and you can feel the darkness recoiling at your words. Your sermon reaches the ears of those who would join your cause, and you sense their spirits lifting, their faith renewed by your conviction.
Now, it is time to act. The forces of darkness gather at the city’s gates, a tide of corruption that seeks to overwhelm all that is good. You know that the first step in this crusade will be to break their lines, to scatter their ranks with the power of your divine weaponry.
You nod solemnly, understanding that the strength of your allies will be the key to overcoming the darkness that looms before you. Raising your hands, you channel the ancient, holy magic that courses through your being, your voice rising in a resonant chant that echoes with the power of the heavens.
“By the light of the divine, I bless these warriors, these vessels of righteousness! Let their weapons strike true, their armor hold strong, and their hearts burn with the fire of holy purpose. May they stand as beacons of light in this sea of shadow, unyielding and unbroken!”
A radiant aura of golden light envelops your allies, their weapons gleaming with a newfound brilliance, their armor shimmering as if infused with the very essence of the sun. You see the fear and doubt in their eyes melt away, replaced by steely resolve and the unshakable belief that they fight for a cause greater than themselves.
But your work is not yet done. As the forces of darkness surge toward you, you turn your gaze upon them, not with wrath, but with compassion, for you know that not all who walk the path of shadow are beyond redemption.
With a gesture, you focus your magic once more, weaving a complex spell that reaches into the hearts of those who have been consumed by darkness. The light of your spell pierces the veil of corruption that blinds them, offering them a chance to return to the light.
“Creatures of shadow, hear my words! The light does not seek to destroy you but to save you. Abandon your path of darkness, and embrace the light that once guided you. Let the chains of corruption be shattered, and be reborn as warriors of righteousness!”
As your spell takes hold, you watch as some of the dark forces hesitate, their twisted forms flickering as if caught between two worlds. Slowly, a few of them begin to change, their monstrous features softening, their dark armor turning to radiant gold, and their eyes, once filled with malice, now shining with the light of redemption. They turn their weapons upon their former comrades, joining the ranks of your holy crusade.
A powerful surge of hope fills the battlefield as the tide begins to turn in your favor. The forces of darkness, once overwhelming, now find themselves outnumbered and outmatched, not just by the strength of your allies, but by the redemptive power of the light that you have brought into the very heart of their ranks.
With your allies empowered and the forces of darkness weakened from within, you prepare for the next phase of the battle. The city’s gates stand before you, a final barrier between you and the true source of the corruption that plagues this land.
With the battle now leaning in your favor, you feel the surge of holy power coursing through you, growing stronger with each victory. But you know that this is only the beginning, and the true test lies ahead. The city gates, a looming wall of darkness, stand as a barrier between you and the heart of the corruption. You know that to bring about a true and lasting victory, you will need more than just the strength of your current allies.
Raising your hands high to the stormy heavens, you call upon the full might of the celestial forces, your voice booming across the battlefield like thunder.
“Oh, divine heavens! Hear the call of your servant, the Light Wizard Preacher! Let the celestial legions descend, let the righteous gather in multitudes, that we may crush this darkness under the weight of our holy crusade! Send forth a sign, a beacon to all who fight for the light, that they may join us in this final battle against the shadow!”
As your words echo through the skies, the clouds above begin to part, revealing a brilliant, blinding light that descends upon the battlefield. It is a divine sign, a symbol of hope that cuts through the despair and fills the hearts of all who see it with renewed faith.
From all corners of the land, warriors of light answer your call. Paladins clad in shimmering armor, angelic beings with wings of pure light, and even ordinary men and women, inspired by the sight, rise up to join your cause. The ground shakes as they march toward the city, their numbers growing with each passing moment until they form a vast, unstoppable army of righteousness.
With your forces now bolstered by the divine, you turn your attention to the city gates. They are massive, wrought of black iron and twisted by dark magic, but you know they cannot withstand the combined might of the light.
You raise your Machine Gun of the Divine, its holy energy surging as it prepares to unleash its righteous fury. With a battle cry that shakes the very earth, you lead your army in a direct assault on the gates.
“Onward, warriors of light! Let our might be as the sun, scorching away the darkness that seeks to consume this world! Break down these gates, and let us cleanse this city of its corruption!”
The army charges forward, a tidal wave of holy power crashing against the city’s defenses. You fire your machine gun, each bullet a beacon of light that explodes against the gates, weakening their dark magic with every hit. The sound of your weapon is a divine roar, echoing with the fury of a thousand angels.
Your allies, empowered by the blessings you bestowed, strike the gates with swords and spells infused with the light of heaven. The gates, once impenetrable, begin to buckle under the relentless assault. Cracks form, and the dark magic binding them together starts to unravel.
With one final, earth-shattering blast from your machine gun, the gates explode in a shower of blackened shards, and the way into the city is open.
Your army surges forward, pouring into the city like a flood of light, sweeping away the remnants of the dark forces that dare to stand against you. The city, once a place of darkness and despair, now glows with the light of your righteous crusade.
But deep within, you know that the true source of the corruption still waits. The final battle is near, and though the light has gained a great victory this day, the ultimate confrontation with the darkness is yet to come.
With the gates shattered and your army flooding into the city, you take a moment to pause amidst the chaos. You know that the people of this city, long oppressed by the darkness, need more than just liberation—they need hope. They need to understand that the light has returned, and that they are not alone in this fight.
Standing atop the rubble of the broken gates, you raise your hands once more, your voice carrying over the din of battle. The soldiers around you fall silent, and even the sounds of combat seem to fade as your words fill the air.
“People of this city, hear me! The darkness that has held you in chains is not your destiny. The light has come, not just to free you from this shadow, but to bring you into the fold of righteousness. No longer shall you live in fear; no longer shall you be bound by the corrupt forces that sought to consume your souls! Stand with us now, as warriors of light, as brothers and sisters in the divine cause, and let us together drive this darkness from your land!”
The people, many of whom had been hiding in fear, begin to emerge from their homes and shelters. They see the glow of holy power surrounding you and your army, and in their hearts, a spark of hope is kindled. They begin to cheer, their voices joining together in a chorus of faith. Some take up arms, joining your forces, while others pray for your success, their faith strengthening the divine power that flows through you.
With the city’s people now rallied to your cause, you turn your attention back to the streets. You lead your forces onward, moving through the city with righteous purpose. Every step is a testament to the light’s victory, as the shadows retreat before your advance. The dark creatures that once ruled these streets are driven back, their power faltering in the face of your unstoppable army.
As you reach the heart of the city, you know the time has come for the final confrontation. You can feel the source of the corruption, a pulsing darkness that lies deep within the ancient citadel at the city’s core. This is where the true enemy waits, a force of evil that has festered for far too long.
Knowing that this battle may require the full extent of your divine might, you make the decision to face this final enemy alone. You turn to your allies, now a formidable force, and give your command.
“Secure the city and protect the people. The darkness that remains will be purged by my hand. This final battle is mine to fight, for the light must confront the darkness face to face.”
Your allies, though reluctant to leave your side, understand the gravity of your words. They spread out, ensuring that the city is safe, while you alone make your way toward the citadel.
As you approach the citadel’s entrance, the air grows thick with malevolent energy. The shadows here are deeper, almost tangible, and the very ground seems to tremble beneath your feet. But your faith does not waver. You tighten your grip on the Machine Gun of the Divine, its holy light burning brighter than ever, ready to unleash the full fury of heaven against whatever evil awaits you.
The citadel doors, ancient and foreboding, swing open at your approach, revealing a vast, dark chamber within. At the center of the chamber, a figure stands shrouded in darkness, its eyes glowing with an unnatural light. This is the source of the corruption, the dark power that has plagued this city and sought to snuff out the light.
You step forward, your voice ringing out with the authority of the divine.
“Creature of darkness, your time is at an end. You have spread your corruption and sought to drown this world in shadow, but the light shall not be extinguished. I stand before you now, as the chosen vessel of divine justice, to bring an end to your reign. Prepare to face the wrath of the heavens!”
The figure snarls, its form shifting and twisting as it prepares to unleash its dark power upon you. But you are ready. With your faith as your shield and the light as your sword, you prepare for the final battle.
The chamber is filled with a blinding flash of light as you unleash the power of your Machine Gun of the Divine, each bullet a beacon of holy energy that tears through the darkness. You call upon the full extent of your holy magic, casting spells of purification and divine wrath that sear through the shadows. The battle is fierce, a clash of light and dark, of faith and corruption.
But in the end, there can be only one victor. The light shines ever brighter, overwhelming the darkness, driving it back until it is nothing more than a fading memory. With a final, resounding blast, you strike down the creature of darkness, its form disintegrating into nothingness as the light consumes it.
The citadel, once a place of shadow, is now filled with the warm, golden glow of divine light. The corruption is gone, and the city is saved.
You step out of the citadel, victorious, and the people of the city cheer your name. The light has triumphed, and the darkness has been vanquished. But you know that this is only one battle in an eternal war, one that you will continue to fight until every corner of the world is free from the shadow’s grasp.
The light shall never fade, and with it, neither shall your resolve. The world may be filled with darkness, but as long as you stand, the light will always have a champion.
