#Enlightened Vibes

[universetalkz]

The ego has a negativity bias-

“It tends to focus on what is missing rather than celebrating what you already have. When we do not understand this nature of the ego mind we are always hungry for more, never truly enjoying what we have already accomplished. Learn to appreciate where you are and through that you will snap out of the ego’s grip. Seeking more without focusing on what you already have will always leave you feeling like you have nothing. Always be grateful.”

Can some Usamerican help me? How tall do you think a human Blitz would be in feet? Like what height vibes does he give? (and Stolas, too)

A wooden statue of the priest Baozhi, transforming into the Eleven-Headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva upon reaching nirvana. 11th century, Heian Period. Currently on display at the Kyoto National Museum. The Eleven-Headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is a form of the Bodhisattva who represents compassion. This figure has one main head and ten smaller heads, which symbolize the ability to see and understand the suffering of all beings. Each head represents a different way the Bodhisattva perceives the world, showing compassion in various forms.

Genuinely so happy about the Simm!Master renaissance on here. I remember when people were viscerally hating him after the Capaldi!Doctor finale (maybe they hadn't watched his season 3 and 4 episodes?? maybe because they had forgotten? maybe because Moffat is an idiot who can't keep characterizations consistent???) and it's so refreshing how positively he's regarded rn. Thank God, because he's wonderful.

And also awful and eats people, as he should.

I've been devouring the first few seasons of star trek deep space 9 recently and folks... after several false starts we might finally have found the trek that will take my brain down like the weak gazelle of the herd. I love this shitty little space station and the cast of exclusively weirdos that inhabit it so much

also side note but may or may not have almost cried on the subway while reading Rameau's Nephew when I got to the part where Diderot talked about planning an education for his daughter.

Denis is not beating the feminist icon accusations yet!

“Forcing connection is forcing alignment.

Forcing alignment is forcing attachment.

Ego seeks attachment.

Soul seeks connection.

You will never have to force anything that aligns with you.

What is meant for you will feel natural, peaceful, and connected, not forced, chaotic, and attached.”

Books of 2024: OTHER TERRORS: AN INCLUSIVE ANTHOLOGY.

I accidentally annihilated the last thing I meant to dual read with THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE, so! Reevaluating that! It turns out the chapters in ELOQUENCE are very short and there are Very Many Of Them, and I don't want them all to bleed together (because, oops, there go the figures of rhetoric into word soup, that way, which is not the goal). Instead, I'm going to dual wield ELOQUENCE and a short story or two out of this every night until they're both done! Easing back into ~horror adjacent writing vibes~ one bite at a time, over here.

In society as a whole, people who are artistic and creative tend to be not only undervalued but devalued, and it starts from an early age. During our childhood and formative years we are told to get our heads out of the clouds and to be more practical and to only focus on the logical side. We are indoctrinated to believe that only careers that focus on math and science is valuable to the world. We can be accused of being flighty or kooky when we showcase ourselves and our beautiful creations. We are told that our creativity holds little to no monetary value even though we are the ones who have the vision to create and design the things that people buy and covet. Not only does our work make people think but we also have the power to actually change how people think and view the world. We tap into the emotions that a lot of people are too afraid to face unless forced to, and we help them to understand and to come to terms with those feelings through our creative endeavors. We provide inspiration, innovation, therapy, and understanding. They need us just as much as we need them to survive. Always remember that we provide an essential service and never underestimate your worth and place in society. Because honestly, who wants to live in a world without the arts and creatives? A society without art and culture would lose it's heart.
