having a bit of a philosophical/existential crisis...

I've always been a seeker of truth, a philosopher, sometimes beyond my own good. there comes a time when I don't know what to accept or follow as my truth.

Shri Keshav says in Bhagavad-Gita that he meets anyone where they want to meet him. but how am I meant to know in which form I want to meet him? is it Shri Krishna, Rama, or even those such as Lord Shiva, Jesus, etc. ?

I feel very much attached to Shri Krishna but how am I meant to reconcile the truth of absolutely everything, with the love for a Keshava who dances and enjoys and is merry among his sakhis and sakhas? how do I reconcile these identities. how do I reconcile the innumerable forms He takes for himself to approach all of us and touch our hearts, and choose the one that is for me? or is it simply just the form of the unknowable, infinite, Supreme being. but then how may I love him for his heart-pulling qualities and get personally attached to his form?

sry lol a bit diff to what I usually post...

Art by ArtsKarely Two girls go into a Crises Recovery Center looking for answers and help. Is love the answer they’re looking for? Can love even help in the face of depression, anxiety and trauma? A story about depression, anxiety, trauma, that which leads to crises and how one recovers from it, the sort of advice I’ve learned over seven years of therapy to help with these issues and the ever pervasive question of “Can this actually help?” It is the first time I’ve thought maybe I could help people with a book but that wasn’t the intention. The intention as always with me was to give something personal and emotional. And there is probably not going to be a more personal work of mine than this. Not for a long while at least. So please, if you can, consider checking out Crises Girlfriends, available on anything with a web browser for $2.99 USD. Or less, sometimes much less, depending on where you live in the world. If instead you want a physical copy, you can get it for $11.00 USD or something close to that in other regions of the world. The back cover was also done by ArtsKarely and is a reference to something I did in the Crises Recovery Center when I went and also an event in the story where the girls pick out leaves to put positive reminders of their life onto. I’ve left them blank on the back cover so you can put down whatever will remind you of your own triumphs.

Thank you all and one final link as well as the number to the National US Crises Prevention Hotline. Please remember to reach out for help when you find yourself struggling. It’s never showing weakness or cowardice to seek help, not when what you face is always so terrifying. It only makes you all the braver for being willing to confront it as you must when seeking help. 1-800-273-8255
