Sacrifices
Want something that will really blow your mind? Take away the drugs and this is how us Gemini's think 247. We just don't need the space shuttle to get there....

A couple nights ago I got really high and started thinking about sacrifices. I don't know if any of you have ever gotten so high that you can see into the deeper spiritual side of things, but thats how I was. I was thinking about how central the role of sacrifice has been in society. I was thinking about how sacrifices are an attempt to give life to some spiritual idea by giving it the life of something physical. Since then I have been thinking about many examples of people I know who make use of sacrifice on an everyday basis maybe without even ever knowing it, but not always by making a sacrifice of someone else. Sometimes people make a sacrifice of themselves. They transfer the energy of their physical body to some spiritual concept in order to give that concept life. Sometimes they do this by giving something up and sometimes they do it by killing themselves in honor of it. But a lot of this do it and feel a need to do it. Why is this? Is it a way we feel we can achieve immortality, by taking our life out of our bodies and putting it in some ethereal vessel? Or is it that we think that by sacrificing someone else's life we can satisfy the pain and discontent we feel with our own?
Homegrown eh? j/k
There are many types and degrees of sacrifices most people do make, and yea some without thinking about it like it's second nature, and some with effort. I guess it all depends on what the sacrifice is and what it's for.

Not when "space" is home, why would you? 🙂
What if he smoked a joint?

What do you mean your mind is "like this 24/7"? Is it that you're always thinking about and dissecting the inner nature of things? Just the thought of thinking like a Gemini is giving my Leo moon a lot of pride 🙂
But in all honesty Xin that is the reason why I like Gemini girls so much. They have so much knowledge but not a lot of imprints is you know what I mean.I feel a desire to make an imprint on their knowledge.
And yea Letitbe it wasnt even a joint it was just a bowl lol. I love marijuana so much because when I smoke it I have these super charged feelings that scare the shit out of me but always lead to these really deep and entertaining chasms of thought.

Just think about when someone makes fun of someone else. The bully uses the body of the person that they are making fun of as a sacrifice on which to take out, or you could even say appease, the rage that is within themselves. The bully probably doesn't think about it that way but that doesn't change the fact that its what they are doing. If someone isn't making fun of anyone else than they have to take out that rage and anger on themselves in order to maintain a balance in the universe. This is why so many Pisces kill themselves is because they refuse to put their pain on someone else and so have to use their own bodies as their own sacrifice.

The ultimate sacrifice is when a man gives his world to a woman, just so she can take it and pass it on to someone else to embrace. We're ALL products of this one ultimate sacrifice, and we should be evermore for being chosen to continue with this cycle of an ultimate sacrifice.
Elaborate please?
Yes, it can be. But it's even more of a sacrifice for someone to forgo their own reproduction so that someone else can reproduce.

I was going to say between my moon and sun combo this is the norm.
It's euphoric..
Stay off the drugs, soon you'll be asking can I fly?
weed and music is good for the soul
@Everyone
The drugs are dangerous, I know this. The toll they take on my body is the sacrifice I am making for the inspiration they give to my intellect. Ultimately, if the ideas sparked by my intellect can live on in the minds of pretty little Gems like all of you, than it will have been a good sacrifice, even if my teeth do rot out of my head.
Sacrifice is an interesting concept to me. I find it a positive life force so long as it is not coming from a place of religious dogma. We're all inherently self-absorbed and self-ish. It's just part of life. But tell me who you are willing to sacrifice your time for and I'll tell you who you love. If you choose to be in a monogamous romantic relationship, you sacrifice pursuing others in favor of developing a bond of depth with the person you like. Furthermore, you can't progress in life if you aren't willing to make sacrifices. For instance, you've got to be willing to sacrifice some time and enjoyment if you're going to learn a new craft or skill set. Just saying, sacrifice isn't just about self-denial and self-imposed limitations. That's the low level vibration of sacrifice. It's also about forgoing the immediate (implied happiness) for the long-term. Now pass the kind bud, please.
@este
That is very true, sacrifices are like fuel for the fire of life, and the older a person gets, the more sacrifices that they have to keep making in order to keep their fire going. Look at aging world leaders who are willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of their subjects in order to keep their rule going.
@irresistablescorp
Wow that is such a Scorpio thing to say. With so much thought behind every moment, it's no wonder why so many Scorpio's hold back their thoughts, no wonder why I piss so many of them off, Mercury in Aries here, I say anything.
Yes, I was seeing a Scorp girl that I liked a lot this past fall. At first I liked how dark and serious she was but after a while we started getting on each others nerves because I don't like to be moody all the time. I think I go best with Leo's, Cancer's and maybe Aquarian's.
@Squitchy
Great sacrifices come when someone realizes that, for ones family to keep living they have to give something up, or maybe even die. Life is bigger than us individual units, and sometimes people are called to either show solidarity with the whole, or live out the rest of their life as some kind of Judas.
Please ignore geminicandIe and continue to space your brain out
It entails less competition for the rest of us
No, it actually entails more because drugs help me think.
They do help you think, this is truth. You'll think yourself into an alt. reality. BTDT
