Writing is a form of thinking. Jordan Peterson said this in reference to his writing program: The Self Authoring Suite. Writing can help you process emotions from traumatic events that may become stuck in purgatory where they damage the Mind and Spirit.
It’s hard to think and process the past in an epoch where corporations fight to destroy your attention span so they can take money from you. Powers exist that do not want you to reflect on your life and heal yourself from the inside out because they want you to buy their product they claim will heal you from the outside in–this is not possible spiritually, could be possible mentally, and is possible physically, because you meet the external entity (body) with external solutions. Spiritual injuries must be solved on the Spiritual plane; you cannot solve your Spiritual injuries on a different plane.
Writing is a great way to think because paper and ink is a technology that allows you to travel through time.
To journal privately on a computer, use a simple text editing software that is not connected to a corporation. Company software always has a back door, which, even if they never use that back door, creates a mental barrier that will prevent you from accessing your deepest thoughts and feelings.
Focus Writer
Focuswriter is a simple, open-source word processor. You can customize the background, as well as turn on a typewriter sound if you like.
Store your journal on a flash drive from Amazon. You just have to pick which one you want, they all do the same thing. For style preference, we like the Samsung Bar because it’s inexpensive and can be added to a keychain. Create a folder and make an entry for each day.
If you want more security, you can encrypt your drive with Veracrypt, another open-source software everyone should know about, which password locks your drive. Be warned, if you forget the password, your drive will become useless. You can also store your digital journal in a physical safe, like a book safe or a mini safe.
