Nothing says a country has an inflation problem like official government accounts scrambling to find the few things that are still the same price or slightly cheaper to convince the plebs that they’re just imagining it

tbh the best way that i explain to other people what it feels like to live with an anxiety disorder is the one time when i had to get a fingerprint and background check done for a job and i, someone who has never received so much as a speeding ticket my whole life, spent thirty minutes panicking that i would fail because i might secretly be a criminal and have no idea

“A bodhisattva doesn’t have to be perfect. Anyone who is aware of what is happening and who tries to wake up other people is a bodhisattva. We are all bodhisattvas, doing our best.”

“Christianity turned the craving for suicide into a lever for its power. It allows only two kinds of suicide: martyrdom and the ascetic’s slow destruction of his body.”

—The Gay Science, §131 (edited).

Seeing into the delusions and illusions of other people, in general, is not your business and will often make others uncomfortable. Most people will not thank you for pointing out their internal confusions.

Seeing through the delusions and illusions of other people and recognizing the fundamental divine aliveness beneath is a good practice for you and a service you can do for others.

There is nothing you can do to force others to confront their illusions before they are ready; that is their own burden. But by seeing through those illusions and connecting with others on the basis of the basic and good living awareness in all beings, you will help them feel known and seen in the best way possible. And this may give them the strength and courage needed to work on themselves.

That is how we should first approach all beings. See through the bullshit to the radiant aliveness and then honor it, rejoice in it. Know it as no different than or even separate from the radiance in you.

After that, under certain circumstances, one may productively discuss the delusions burdening an individual. However, to think yourself wise or helpful by simply noticing what worldly illusions are found in people is to miss the point entirely.

The point is to see people through, not to see through people.

“Instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other wilful effort of the brain, is futile.”

we cannot ignore that at least 3 times in the past few days, the US has effectively blocked a statement by the UN Security Council to condemn Israel’s genocide against Palestinians through not engaging in negotiations (15 nations are members, the decision is reached through consensus)

But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.
