Those who have conquered themselves know freedom.

We cannot replicate other people’s lives. We must each institute and broker a personalized meaning to our exclusive existence. We must each serve as our own Zen master, awaken to our inviolate personal truth, and strive to fulfill our sui generis (unique) nature.

More kingdom hearts 3 thoughts while I’m playing it…. So like Sora’s been to several worlds where a true love’s sacrifice has been central to the plot.

Hercules/Mount Olympus: Herc diving down to Underworld to save Meg, though his took place technically in KH2 but KH3 builds upon it.

Tangled/The Kingdom of Corona: both Rapunzel and Eugene sacrifice themselves for each other — Rapunzel telling Mother Gothel she won’t try to run away ever again if she allowed her to heal Eugene, therefore sacrificing both her freedom and the rest of her life, and Eugene when he cuts Rapunzel’s hair instead of allowing her to heal him, freeing her from the power of the flower but ensuring his death.

All three sacrifice themselves for their loved ones, while knowing that they would most likely not get out alive. And it paid off in the end.

The Disney worlds in Kingdom Hearts primarily build up the story tension as foreshadowing or as parallels for what’s going on in the main story. So Kingdom Hearts 3 obviously has a true love’s sacrifice taking place amongst the main cast.

So who is it? Sora and Riku. To be more specific; it’s Riku stepping directly in front of Sora at the Keyblade Graveyard to protect him from the Demon Tide that allows Sora to even reach the Final World. Make of the rest of the game what you will, but Riku’s moment at the Graveyard is exactly that. I will update this list with more worlds and the examples I find as i continue the game.

I will add that Sora himself seems to attempt a sacrifice in this game when he’s trying to save Kairi with “all his heart”, but viewers/players/gamers will know that this attempt can’t really be compared because while it’s the same in name, the outcome turned out differently. Every true love sacrifice I’ve seen in this game so far had both parties come out unscathed in the end, even when death loomed directly over them. Sora literally destroys himself, shatters his heart, to save Kairi. He is dead and in the afterlife for trying. KH4 is about finding him and bringing him back. And Riku is the one to do it.

Damn. Dare i say Soriku

Can You Learn to Sew Online? A Comprehensive Look at Your Options with ONSA

At ONSA - Online Sewing Academy, the world of stitching and garment construction should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location or schedule. In today's digital age, online learning has revolutionized how we acquire new skills, making it possible to master intricate crafts like sewing from the comfort of our homes. But can you truly become an expert stitcher through virtual classes alone? Let's explore the options available and how ONSA empowers you to embark on an enriching sewing journey.

The Beauty of Pre-Recorded Video Lessons

Ah, the world of pre-recorded tutorials - a treasure trove of knowledge at your fingertips! ONSA's extensive library of meticulously crafted video lessons offers a comprehensive exploration of sewing techniques, from the fundamentals of threading a needle to the intricacies of advanced garment construction.

Whether you're a visual learner who thrives on observing each step or an auditory learner who appreciates detailed verbal guidance, our lessons ensure that no aspect of the sewing process is left unexplained.

While budget-friendly and convenient, we understand that pre-recorded content may lack the human interaction that many pupils crave – the ability to ask questions, receive real-time feedback, and benefit from the personalized attention of an experienced instructor. This is where our live, interactive classes come into play.

Whether you're a complete novice taking your first tentative stitches or a skilled stitcher seeking to elevate your art, our talented teachers can customize lesson plans to align with your unique goals and aspirations.

From mastering the art of inserting invisible zippers to acquiring advanced draping skills for haute couture designs, our live classes cover various topics, catering to hobbyists and aspiring professionals. Private one-on-one sessions and small group workshops provide ample opportunity for personalized guidance, fostering an environment where questions are welcomed, and challenges are addressed with patience and expertise.

By combining our comprehensive library of pre-recorded video resources with live, interactive sessions, ONSA provides a 360-degree learning experience tailored to your schedule, skillset, and aspirations. Whether you prefer the convenience of self-paced learning or thrive on the dynamic energy of a virtual classroom, our blend of educational formats ensures that your sewing journey is enriching, engaging, and tailored to your unique needs.

Beyond the technical aspects of sewing, ONSA also emphasizes the importance of nurturing creativity and self-expression. Our lessons encourage students to experiment with fabric choices, color combinations, and design elements, fostering an environment where individuality is celebrated and personal style is cultivated.

Sewing Mastery: A Journey, Not a Destination

At ONSA, we firmly believe that sewing mastery is a lifelong pursuit, a continuous learning and refinement journey. Our online academy is designed to support you at every stage of this journey, from your first tentative stitches to the creation of intricate, couture-worthy garments.

As you progress through our curriculum, you can participate in virtual sewing circles, where you can connect with fellow stitchers, share your creations, and seek inspiration from a community of like-minded individuals. Our instructors are not just teachers but mentors dedicated to your growth and success, offering guidance and encouragement every step of the way.

The Year and a Day Tradition: A Devotional Practice for the Witches’ New Year

As the Wheel of the Year turns toward Samhain, many witches and Pagans find themselves at a pivotal moment of reflection and renewal. Samhain, celebrated on October 31st – November 2nd (in the Northern Hemisphere), marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter—a time when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. For many practitioners, it is…

Hallow App: Elevate Your Meditation Practice to New Heights

Shaina Tranquilino

January 7, 2024

In today's fast-paced and digitally-driven world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can be challenging. However, thanks to technological advancements, we now have access to countless apps designed to help us improve our overall well-being. Among these remarkable offerings is the Hallow app – a powerful tool that aims to transform your meditation practice into a deeply enriching and transformative experience.

What is Hallow?

Hallow is an innovative meditation app specifically tailored for Christians, Catholics, or really anyone, seeking to deepen their spirituality through prayer and contemplation. This unique platform combines ancient Christian and Catholic traditions with modern technology to provide users with a comprehensive range of guided meditations, prayers, reflections, sleep stories, and more.

For some reason, I feel called to return to my roots and practice more "traditional" spirituality. At the beginning of this new year in 2024, I felt compelled to read the Bible, making it my New Year's resolution. Growing up Catholic and attending Catholic elementary and high school, I have previously read the Bible. However, at that time, I found it somewhat boring as it was not taught in an engaging manner suitable for children. Nevertheless, with the Hallow App, I find that they present passages from the Bible in a more comprehensible manner. Not only do they offer easy-to-understand explanations, but they also provide options like listening to the Bible or their teachings presented poetically or through meditation styles. This app is ideal for individuals who prefer a less traditional approach to learning about God, connecting with God, and reading the Bible as it offers a simpler and more accessible way.

Features and Benefits:

1. Guided Catholic Meditations: Hallow offers a vast library of guided meditations led by experienced Catholic priests, theologians, and spiritual directors. These meditations cover various themes such as gratitude, forgiveness, healing, discernment, anxiety relief, and many more. Each session incorporates scripture readings, personal reflections, and soothing music to guide users towards a deeper connection with God.

2. Daily Prayer Plans: To foster consistency and growth in one's spiritual journey, Hallow provides personalized daily prayer plans that cater to different needs and goals. Whether you're looking for assistance in developing a habit of prayer or seeking specific intentions like inner peace or strength during difficult times – Hallow has you covered.

3. Sleep Stories & Music: Recognizing the importance of quality sleep for overall well-being, Hallow includes calming sleep stories inspired by Christian spirituality that gently lull users into deep relaxation before bed. Additionally, the app offers peaceful instrumental music tracks ideal for meditation sessions or simply creating a serene ambiance throughout the day.

4. Community Support: One of the standout features of Hallow is its supportive community aspect. Users can connect with fellow Christians around the world, share their experiences, and offer encouragement. This sense of community fosters a supportive environment that helps users stay motivated and committed to their spiritual practice.

In a world filled with distractions and stress, finding moments of peace and connecting with our spirituality is essential for our overall well-being. The Hallow app provides an invaluable resource for Christians, Catholics, or really anyone, seeking to deepen their relationship with God through meditation, prayer, and reflection. With its extensive library of guided meditations, personalized prayer plans, sleep stories, and vibrant community support – Hallow empowers individuals to embark on a transformative journey towards spiritual growth and inner peace.

So why not take the first step toward enhancing your meditation practice today? Download the Hallow app and experience the profound benefits it has to offer – allowing yourself to be guided towards a more centred and fulfilling life rooted in Christian spirituality. https://hallow.com/

Aptitude, talent and gifts; where do we get these from?

As soul we do not receive anything for free. Every innate talent was built up by hard labour in past lives. The more we practise an art, science or profession, the more aptitude we will be able to deploy in a next life in order to become more competent. When we apply ourselves to the same discipline life after life, we ultimately achieve a great height. How many musical lives would a soul need in order to be able to be born as a Mozart for instance?
