The Great Reset is the battle of our lifetime...

If the elites that control this world succeed, we will all be living like slaves in digital concentration camps.

If we win, we will FOREVER change the world for the better. And we WILL win. 🤔

Friendly reminder that you don’t need to be Greek or Mediterranean in your ethnicity or heritage to practice Hellenism! Religion and spirituality transcends anthropology and genetics, the gods will love anybody of any heritage, race, sexuality, or gender who wishes to revere them and learn about or partake in the practice of hellenism!

Gwen needs to be canonically independent and not be tied down.

I have to say how grateful I am that other individuals see all the evil, homophobic intentions spider-verse is giving. This is so cruel to Gwen.

Not only is Marvel animation refusing to confirm Gwen's sexuality or at least giving her a purpose of independence, but they are cowardly by forcing her to revolve around a guy named Spider-Man.

I have already made a couple rants/complaints about this but I was reminded of how pissed I get by this as a feminist.

I'll say it again: Spider-Gwen exists for an important reason--she's supposed to stand out! To be different from all the other Gwens.

Those versions died because their whole purpose was to be the gentle damsel in distress hot nerdy straight girl. It's just upsetting how most (and I mean 98%) of Peter Parkers try to force their idealization of straight girly Gwen onto her. Rather than accepting how different and unique she is from the other versions.

So her being Miles's love interest is proving how her true existence is wasted on the big screen. From 2014 onward in the comics, she was always supposed to be queer. She represents what its like to be closeted because no one truly accepts her whole identity. Hence that line in ATSV where she said out loud how she can only show people half of who she really is. It represents the negative results when coming out to everyone. She was hated for that.

I am against Gwiles ship because it encourages the heteronormative patriarchal mindset. Enforcing the misogynistic gender roles and saying all the things about queerness being a sin to be true. It breaks my heart when someone is forced into being straight in hetero hell.

Remember the comics of when Gwen discovered a reality where she was married to Miles and had kids? Not only was that Gwen's biggest fear but also represented queer women's biggest nightmare. Being in a marriage where she can never reciprocate her husband's love, losing her individuality and identity, being viewed as a possession or trophy wife? I wouldn't choose that life ever!

She deserves to express her freedom to be herself. To be accepted, to love anyone she wants to love. The fact that Peter and Miles attempted to take that away proves the fact of how they were trying to be forceful on her to be the illusion of the Gwen that they wanted to shelter and treat her as property.

That's why ships were there is pairings with Quake, fem!oc, Felicia Hardy, and White Fox are much better ships. They are perfect opportunities for Gwen to explore her Bisexuality with someone who she can love out of mutual interest. Female characters who would accept all of her for who she is as a person. She should choose her own happiness and enjoy the freedom she yearns for herself.

Footloose and leash free.

Bob Marley: A Christian Mystic in the Rastafarian Tradition

When we think of Christian mystics, names like St. John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Thomas Merton often come to mind. These individuals, through their writings and lives, embodied a deep and profound connection with the divine, often expressed through personal, mystical experiences of God. However, the notion of Christian mysticism is broader than traditional Catholic or Protestant…

By developing a spiritual practice, on demand we are able to find respite from the madness of the world, this turbulent ocean of samsara, gaining our freedom from serving as pawns of a demiurgical, kalistic culture of conflict and agitated minds.

"What our modern world has suffered from most of all is runaway ideology, the agitated attachment to ideas that thereby become the playthings of infrahuman energies. This is the great danger of all ideologies, whether political, religious, or academic." (Jacob Needleman expressing some thoughts about the Gospel of Thomas)

"Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it." (Thomas Merton)

The goal of this Sant Mat Satsang discourse is to shed more light on the meditation practices of the Sants which liberate the soul, provides a spiritual oasis for souls to be free from the agents of the negative power, ever-and-always agitating minds in this world, keeping them off-center so they never get around to going within, finding their true self and exploring the Divine Realms available inside during spiritual practice.

We must rise above during our meditations in order to ultimately return to the Ocean of Love and All-Consciousness known as God... above this bodily existence, above this material plane, above time or KAL, above mind, above maya or illusion and all these outer planes of creation. As it says in the Greek Gospel of Thomas "we enter into Rest." And as Rumi has written in his mystic poetry, To Him We Shall Return.

Meister Eckhart the German Mystic: "If the soul is to see God, then it must see no temporal thing, for as long as the soul is conscious of time or space, or of an idea, it cannot know God."

This discourse is also deliberately mindful of the lineage of Sant Mat Masters spanning many centuries, tracing this Path of the Masters back through time to Satguru Kabir.

References, Subjects, Sources and Segments Include: Rumi, Gospel of Thomas, The Empty Tomb of Satguru Kabir (The Story of Kabir's Body Turning Into Lotus Flowers), Plucking Flowers of Spirituality Within Your Body Through the Meditation Practice of the Sants, The Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) and Sant Dharam Das), the Prakash Mani Gita on Inner Sound Meditation, Sat Saheb and Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, Maharaj Girdhari Sahib of Lucknow, Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra (Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry), Sant Garib Das of the Radhaswami Satsang, Rohilla, Delhi (book of Anmol Vachan), Baba Jaimal Singh of Beas, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, Baba Somanath, Sant Kirpal Singh, Sant Ji (The Light of Ajaib), and Baba Ram Singh's Satsang Discourse on Kabir and Sant Dharam Das - Anurag Sagar commentary: The Saints are Instructed by The Almighty to Fetch the Troubled Souls. "The Almighty has promised the souls who have left Him and into the world of Kal, that if they are in trouble, or if they remember Him, He shall come to fetch them." (Baba Ram Singh on the liberation of souls during this Kali Yuga age)

In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhasoami,

Learning to Surrender: A spiritual initiation

Surrender has to be one of the hardest concepts to understand as a human being. When someone says that they surrendered, what I have finally come to understand is that they came to a place of deep trust in a process. 

It took me a long time to move beyond my surface-level understanding of surrender as a giving in or giving up. I am sure some people have experienced it that way, especially when they hit rock bottom. I myself have had that experience. It has been years since, and now I see I was in some ways forced into surrender. I resigned myself to it. The other option was death. As true as all that may be, surrender is much more complex than that very obvious version.

It doesn't have to be that hard. Surrender doesn't have to mean hitting the bottom. Unless, of course, you are stubborn as I am, refusing to go gently. Long hard-headed, I have finally learned that surrender can be gentle and very intentional. I choose this form of surrender now, every day.

Surrender requires a different kind of strength. In the way I am speaking of it here, it is a choice, and that comes from within. I must yield my ego, the illusion of control, service-to-self, and self-harm. When I yield, I tap into a strength beyond any I could have imagined. I tap into my Higher Self and Source itself.

I have found that, when I surrender, I yield to the flow of life, which in the East is called the Tao. 

I love being in the flow. When I am in the flow, it feels like everything is right, and when I feel that way, Life responds with abundance. Flow allows surrender to abundant mindset, one that begins with a deep worthiness if that which comes into my life. The more I flow, the more I feel connected to Spirit and Gaia. I feel aligned to my Higher Self, and then all things are revealed to me as I need them: my life purpose, my mission, and my next steps on my path. None of it is possible without surrender.

If I make it sound easy, I will say that it's taken me 50 years to figure it out. The Crone speaks. However, it is possible to choose it for yourself at any age because your Higher Self is ancient and knows what you need, just as Spirit knows.

Trust is an act of love. Learning to love unconditionally begets love of the All, which imbues trust, which allows surrender, which reveals purpose, which begets more love in the creative process of embodying the purpose.

Love. Surrender. Live your purpose. Your Higher Self is calling you home.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"

God bless the Republic of These United States.

We will not bend.

We will not break.

We will never, ever back down.

We will stoke the fires of Liberty and burn them brightly for the world once again.

Ahead of Us lies true Freedom for all of Gods People, in all corners of this Earth.

Happy 4th of July 2024 to Patriots in ALL Nations, and to ALL Soldiers of Faith and Honor, without whom the World would have surely fallen. We shall never forget. ⚔️ 🇺🇲

Praying to Lady Tyche tonite for justice to reign supreme tomorrow, to guide an election on which our religious freedoms as hellenists, as pagans, and as witches hinges. I pray to Lord Dionysus to see right an election on which our rights as Queer people, as trans people, and as neurodiverse ppl hinges, an election that could end democracy and secede to fascism. And too do I pray to the victorious lady Nike, to guide Harris, despite the qualms I have with her, to victory to spare us from an irreparable future under the conservatives. I pray to Artemis, to protect the women, the mothers, whose bodily autonomy and rights as women hinge on its outcome as well. Stay strong my witches, my hellenists, my pagans, my brothers and sisters, and don’t ever loose hope, don’t let that torch burn out, because justice dies in the darkness. 🏛️💙

At some point in life, usually triggered by a challenging or painful event, one loses one’s sense of 'identity'. It can be hard and often a disintegrating experience even for the most self assured and confident. It's akin to losing one's footing in life.

There are stages in life, and every stage requires a different approach, mindset, openness. These are the defining characteristics of one's personality or identity. Some phases of life necessitate a different personality, and life readies you for it, by breaking down the sense of identity and its limitations. I'd compare it to a snake shedding its skin, just that it's not voluntary.

Over the years, if you stand back & look closely, you'd see that there is no fixed 'identity' that defines you. It kept changing while you witnessed those changes. Losing your individuality can be hard on the ego, but is liberating for the soul. Identity masks reality. This breaking of shackles and elimination of the personal is necessary for realising your true self that is boundless and universal. That realization however, comes with time.

What is disintegration of the ego, is integration for the soul. Therein lies your freedom. A drop loses its identity on merging with the sea.

Spring Is the Perfect Time For New Beginnings & Projects

Spring Is the Perfect Time For New Beginnings & Projects

Have you been thinking of starting something new but are unsure about your next steps? Or perhaps you have been procrastinating about an old project that you’re not ready to let go? You’re not alone! It seems that the energies around us are a bit contradictory—or, rather, pulling us in different directions. I’ve been working on the projects I mentioned earlier that I want you to be part of…

Exploring Dzogchen’s Transformative Path: A Journey into Our Pristine Mind

Reflections on Pristine Awareness, Dzogchen, and Finding Clarity in Challenging Times As I sit with Our Pristine Mind in my hands, I am aware that I am not merely reading a book. I am entering a silent conversation with an ancient wisdom, one that gently unfolds its layers with each page, as if lifting the veils of my own mind. In the quiet of early morning or beneath the faint glow of a reading…
