The Image & The Immersion written by Michael A Gomez April 25th 2026

The Pull:

Sometimes with those thoughts

— and I need to say these things, so I name it —

sometimes with those thoughts, there was this kind of pull I felt inside.

But it’s important to just let that pass too. Because I know that pull.

I know where it wants to take me — through the door in agreement.

So let that pass too. Why?

Because it will. wait it out.

If it rises, it will also fall.

And you don’t have to fall with it.

You can say not a word.

Just don’t go through the door.

Without emotion.

Without that charge.

Don’t agree.

Just let it fall.

Not you.

The Image:

And here’s one thing I want to share with you.

Remember the image, remember certain celebrity women — one of those women, like Sophie, has had a new beginning in her life through something I relate with in terms of Christian faith. And I think it’ll serve me in a way, so I can look through these new eyes that I have through my awakening — into a shared faith as well, in the Christian faith —

so that I can look at Sophie in this new light and not be stuck on the image that I was stuck on.

I think it serves me well that somebody whose image I was stuck on, like Sophie, has returned to her Christian roots. As the articles said, she wasn’t really living the lifestyle, and now she’s returning — with this baptism that took place, and the inward shift that’s happening in her. To see her through that lens — the lens I can see through now — I can see a beautiful, attractive person and not be swept up in the image anymore. And that’s going to be necessary as I live my life — to be able to live and not be in bondage to the image the way I used to be. To walk my walk of faith, to walk the talk, and actually have less talk but walk it in every step.

I’m not trying to make other people believe what I believe. But I would like to help them, when I think of how much I was hurting — how I wished somebody was there suffering it with me, in the way that I have in mind to suffer with someone else, and what it is that is bringing them so low. But no — I haven’t done that perfectly throughout my life. There were moments where I didn’t do it right. The opportunity was there, the door was there, and I didn’t have the compassion I should have had in the past. But I know that man is no longer who I am now.

The Immersion:

There’s something about when the human being reaches into the furthest depths — depths they haven’t been to before — and begins living out of that. There’s also a continuous, disciplined walk that occurs afterward. But that beginning part — where its emanation is just beaming through you — there seems to be, I guess, this endless aura with an energy to match. And it’s as if being born a second time. I can relate to her feeling.

Number one, she is a Christian, as I am. And then the second part of my own walk is the awakening within me, and how Buddhism has been that vehicle for myself. Because I’ve been through the baptism — back in 2012. I was baptized at Riverside Community Church, which is a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, a CMA church, which doesn’t really consider itself a denomination, but there are definitely similarities to other denominations, like non‑denominational churches — similarities are there. So I could relate on that.

When I was baptized in 2012 — June 3rd, 2012 — you have this glow, and there is this fire. A literal fire within you — or maybe a symbolic fire — but the feeling you have about it is: it’s got to come out of you. You have to emanate from this. And it winds up seeming like it’s shooting out of your hands, your toes, even your words -and of course your thoughts.

It permeates you.
