If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.

When you have an intelligence behind each design ,each intention each creation you get these results ,what I have come to call “flow and glow”.The motion of the seas is constant , and regardless of the wind ,the core of the earth provides the necessary flux to keep the engine running. Naturally The erosion and pressure exerted internally is so great that,the much needed escape valves which are the volcanoes placed strategically release the gases and liquid water proving without a doubt that there are lakes of boiling and steaming water mixed with gases that complete the cycle of perpetual flow ,makes this process a miracle indeed! The moon plays a critical role in role in balancing this energy on this so beautifully called “ blue marble”of a planet.We are indeed a blessed race living between trillions of microscopic organisms brought together to create the miracle of life. This is what countless extraterrestrial races envy in many ways and we take for granted.My words as a shaman come from living in the past,present and future ,an all encompassing NOW. You too ,if everyday choose to sit in peace ,will experience this same joy.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.

Danny and Damian are related, with a twist.

Danny is the son of Talia Al Ghul, however he is NOT the son of Bruce Wayne. Ra’s has had his eyes on various people across the world that have either impressed him or show a unique skill set that he’d like to have. One such person was under the both categories and he got Talia to collect a DNA sample and as a result Danny was born.

This was before Bruce’s time with the League by a few years, but very quickly Danny was not meeting expectations. And by the time Bruce did show up Ra’s had lost all interest in Danny, moving on to better things.

Talia always hated Danny because she was forced to have him with a man who she never liked in the first place. Furthermore, because his skillset was lacking she found that even more reason for her distain. In her eyes, he wasn’t worth even considering her blood.

Danny, knowing that he was doomed if he didn’t make an escape, left the league sometime around when Bruce was moving up the ranks and was making waves within the organization. Perfect timing honestly, any attention he might have had was quickly gone when this prodigy showed up.

Danny escaped the League and went into hiding quickly after, settling on a rural area of the United States after bouncing around countries for a few months. This was mainly because Jasmine Fenton saw a young boy pick pocketing strangers while her family was visiting Chicago and scolded him. Her mother and father saw the boy and also lectured him to which Danny responded it was his only option (he was trying to get this loud family off his back so he could sneak away). Eventually the Fentons decide that if he has nowhere to go he might as well go with us, and Danny decides blending in with a Nuclear Family is the best way to ensure that his peaceful life away from the League stays that way. Oh how little did he know.

Flash forward a few years, Talia, who was visiting Gotham to check on Damian, sees a glimpse of a boy (now man) she thought she had forgotten. Her blood runs cold, if this abomination is in Gotham then her son is likely in danger and she would never let anything happen to Damian.

Depression is 'Contagious': Why You Should Avoid Being Around Depressed People

I must confess I’ve judged people before for the ‘abandonment’ of their loved ones suffering from depression. I’m talking about family members, close relatives, and close friends. But, after reading the findings of a recent study by the University of Notre Dame, I kind of understand them better. I’m sure you’re too curious to know about this study now, so hear me out: Recent research has…

The more we seek answers for our unknowns,the more we get tangled up with our past. Take this Star Towers.If our ancestors didn’t build them,who then? If time is an illusion ,this means that time does not exist for millions of others extraterrestrial beings ,that we have been living a false reality. That time and space as illusions could be bend and twisted indeed. This could mean that a 15 foot tall ,bipedal being could easily have built these towers at the top of the world to say ,signal spaceships ,or a celestial alignment system.Why not? Look we have discover massive extinction events ,and Earth polar shifts, Greek reports by famous philosophers of Earths not always having a moon.Humans living well over 800 years. There are gaps between ice ages that we know nothing about .We know nothing of civilizations living in what is now Antarctica.Not even humans. Folks we have gone to school ,only to learn lies and misinformation and not even be told of the deception from our own government. To justify keeping our race in darkness about our true origins.An elite so powerful that continues to rule and keep mocking us ,and selling us wars and killing millions of innocent civilians,in order for them to survive.And what’s worse all religions are part of the master plan to make us believe of one God ,while in truth there has been so many ,that they had to trim the narrative in order to keep us from becoming,the goddesses and gods we truly are. Just look at the Greeks and Romans with a pantheon of gods and goddesses,then after the many assemblies of secret priests and popes , suddenly coming up and telling the masses ,folks we are switching the narrative ,no more polytheism , we are now monotheistic,haa! So,we killed the competition! We now have a god, now this we can handle!The fact that there’s more than one Bible version should send the alarms and red flags up! You do the math folks. The truth has changed hands so many times that is not only ridiculous but disgusting,and immoral. Words by Sergio GuymanProust.

Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.

That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.

palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.

Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.

This is Hind.

Sometimes reality clashes with our dreams and we realize how multidimensional is our life. The problem here is to realize how brainwashed we truly are.And right away we think I have to go to a shrink (a psychologist)when we really don’t need one. We just have to sit down and meditate. We shamans do it often ,to bring awareness and balance to ourselves .Others suggest ,a nap time,to refresh our mind and spirit. Now ,it is no secret that those of us who are writers, of alternate realities ,will indeed find ourselves immersed in a world where our subjects are strange and do not conform wit our present time reality.So,there’s no need to panic ,just relax and go out for a beach walk. Well,that’s what I often do in order to bring certain aspects of my life into focus. The more you read tales written back in the 1800s and forward ,you will notice that much happens during tea time ,and the characters that arrive to have tea with the main character,that’s when the weirdness begins to take place. Well ,read my notes and you will soon be entering the proverbial rabbit hole. This is how often jump into time dilations ,glitches in the matrix , wormholes and quantum mechanics and multiverses. It is a whole different enchilada, my friends ,and not just a digestible one. Where you find yourself alone and friendless. But enough,each of us carry enough psychological baggage that must be sorted before we embark on a new adventure, a new journey into the netherworld.As a shaman I can only give you hints ,the rest will always be up to you.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.
