#consciousness restructuring show

[toby-du-coeur]

oh boy you're gonna LOVE station eleven

i think Silo is easier for me to watch than most post-apocalyptic stuff because consistently, throughout the series, the people in the Silo are people. they have hobbies, and interests, and natural human curiosity. it's not all gritty and dark for everyone all the time, there's moments of lightness and humour and happiness for the characters. which is something a lot of shows leave out (which is fair, if the tone set is meant to be so dark), so it's nice to see

[tothelasthoursofmylife]

Do you have a favorite of your own characters from the fic?

Also why is Cedric unwashed, please bathe him TT

What a difficult question; it's like picking a favourite child orz I do like them all. Sometimes, I get a bit sad that some characters got pushed to the sidelines (or even (mostly) written out) when I re-planned the fic (which needed to be done; more on that at another time). Anyway. I think my favourite own characters are the ones that surprise me! Because I like to be taken on a journey while writing, and when I make a character, I don't know everything about them from the start, or barely anything at all. I need to learn stuff about them gradually, just the way you do, and sometimes they tell me stuff out of the blue that makes me go "what" XD

I like Cecelia; she's so fun to write, but she hasn't thrown anything surprising at me (yet). But Milton? He's the worst of them. I guess that makes him my favourite from that criterion. I always knew that something was off about him, but could not put my finger on the specifics for the longest time. When I finally cracked it/him, I nearly fell out of the bus. (I mean that very literally; I was just getting out.) That also did a lot to the restructuring, and I think the fic got better as a result. It sounds a bit stupid because I am writing this fic after all, but I'm very grateful for him to have confessed that to me at that time. Things would be very different in many aspects otherwise. And now... 🤐

Kamden is also up there... He's such a quiet character, it took a while for me to finally get something out of him. And then it surprised me, even if it, honestly, makes a lot of sense for the "character he is"! My subconscious just works better than my consciousness, I guess^^' The Weston thing is another example. Oh, the drama... (And if you've read the AO3 notes for Affection: He's the guy who's set to be Oscar's son-in-law in the AU's AU; in the future that never was. Made me go "what" indeed.)

Yvette also surprisingly ended up as a bit of a show-stealer. Fooled me too, what a girl XD

(But favourites or not, none of them will be safe/left unharmed <3)

And I didn't make Cedric unwashed!! He's canon unwashed!!!

edit: because the image links don't work on mobile?? (Source)

It's very important Undertaker lore!!! I, for one, like reminding people that he's afraid of soap XD

(Every time I see a L’Oréal Undertaker joke, I think "Hello??? His hair is long, but you can't have him be the face of a shampoo commercial.")

[wackymaci]

I guess I’m using this as a casual oc posting blog now too?? cause this is from priv twt and I don’t necessarily wanna put it on the big blog since it’s an unorganized mess lmao

but so long as I’m posting convo snippets and related moments. allow me to transfer over a thread i’d made re:,, Eisa and Einmyria, Tory’s oopsie twins with Loki — if you don’t know from my twt (dm me for circumstances if you’re really curious and nosy lmfao) the elysiumverse IS undergoing some minor restructuring over the past few months & still now for.,,,, reasons. some of which involves some retconning to completely delete some obscure characters from the common consciousness & massively overhauling others -

THATS not super important but you’ll see why that’s sort of relevant, anyway for preservation purposes I am going to!! copy and paste a specific twitter thread as bullet points and it’s attached OOOO CANON CLIPS underneath the cut bc :-)))))) this is all about Loki obviously mwah

fuckin hello if I write lokikid Tobias out of existence that means the first of Loki’s children that HE didn’t carry HIMSELF like — EVER beforehand - were Eisa&Einmyria with Tory? he was a basketcase at the time for other reasons (accident babies, Maci was not happy,🤪) but if I retcon now it’s so much worse🤩

due to the series of tragic events befalling his first six children Loki has ALWAYS been highly anxious and cagey every time he’s been pregnant anyway and havin to trust someone else now w them was. oh god let me go back in time I feel like I didn’t give that enough wEIGHT AAHHHH

saying this wholeheartedly with the knowledge that even with or without *deliberately* devoting the proper amount of gravity to this Loki canonically was still so stressed out at the time he literally triggered the beginning of Ragnarok but, like, lmao meh,, EDIT to add that whole series of events with Thanatos happened DURING Tory’s pregnancy w them so that’s like. Loki: no i’m not psychologically affected from how that all went down at all :-) -*THE END OF THE WORLD ACCIDENTALLY BEGINS*

haha did I ever discuss how Eisa and Einmyria were conceived. well:

and of course; the follow up part 8 (Bel and Ty were like,, idk age 6?)—

kicky feet lmao reading this whooooole chain of events is so wild, just some of the most utterly delightfully vicious behavior cycling between Maci and Loki and Tory this was SO much scream fighting on and on, would get resolved and then exploded again, just SO unhinged—

so reading this now 10 years later where - Maci & Loki & Tory do successfully co-parent Eisa and Einmyria with zero issues lmao and. where lately Loki’s made a complete 180 re: Maci and Tory in.,,, an insanely nsfw domesticated way is so. wow the difference a decade makes,, SCREAM

at this point in this twitter thread, a brief several day interlude takes place during which the l0ki show finale premieres and pisses me off enough for me to return to this thread in a slightly different direction lmfao??? the following;

BACK 2 ELYSIUM. Ty & Bel when they were kiddos were obsessed with Loki - god whose every word out of his mouth is a lie VS mindreading “children” who could literally see all of his actual thoughts & deep insecurities, especially when Drama Occurred & Loki refused to fuckin talk to anyone—

when goin thru that Eisa Einmyria plot collection I found yet another huge scene tht Loki’d caused with Tory & Maci (dont forget this timeframe was SOOO VICIOUS) & found afterwards Bel finding him & talking to him with, quote—

“They can't understand that you wreck things when you're nervous”

ssso um, elysiumLoki thesis statement, oh hh,hhhHHHHH— 🥺🥺🥺

Yknow what I went back and retrieved that exact section again an d it’s. so. I think Bel was like age 6 here lmfao:

collapses. just think this thread was recorded BEFORE I plunged myself into the 2012 section of the archives during Loki’s first entrance into Elysium so. honestly all these convo snippets I may or may not post MAY or MAY NOT be E!L related AAAHHHHHH— anyway. thoughts..,,,, thots…….,,

[entomolog-t]

Tropes ask: I have my own armchair view of my proclivities but I'll submit my thoughts for peer review.

I usually like to imagine being a mini giant. In real life, I'm tall-ish and fat woman. I feel big and awkward and I get anxious about being in the way. Imagining being big means I would be, perhaps, intentionally huge. And in a more fun way. I want more affection and closeness and what better way than with someone miniature?

I saw you already wrote about size swaps but I also really like shrinking or size changes. I love to see the loss of control and approach from a (literal) new perspective.

Back in Office Baby!

Alright so there are quite a few details that you included that seem significant; specification on minigiant, self perception, recontextualization, shrinking and size changing, loss of control, and perhaps an implication of loss of self.

I find it intriguing when someone has a preferred size. Sometimes its for an aesthetic component (Say for example, liking the imagery of completely someone in your hand), sometimes its to symbolize a degree of control (for example when someone is relatively smaller than an inch, theres next to no way to escape, their voice may be totally unheard, etc.. compared to a minigiant who could theoretically still be hurt physically by a skilled enough human). It may also just be for some sort of practicality in the fantasy (able to still fit in buildings or remain hidden in a forest etc..). Although these at first glance just seem like supporting elements to the overall fantasy I still think they may be able to offer insight.

As discussed in previous sessions, subconscious imagery can be a lot more prevalent than we would first think. For the example above (completely fitting someone in your hand) there could be blatant metaphorical imagery at play.

One way to analyze that is to pull at the words a little;

What do I think of when I think of ____? How would I elaborate on the action? What emotions are invoked in me? What emotions do I want invoked in the counter archetype?

When I think of hands I could think of control, but also care. They have strength in building things, but they are also how I show I care. Through soft and loving touch. I think of being careful. Nurturing.

The action part (fitting someone within my grasp) feels controlling to me. All encompassing. Making someone else vulnerable.

I might feel in control, powerful, curious, and excited. Perhaps, I want the counter archetype to feel vulnerable, uncertain, small and scared.

See how such a small image can be picked apart for some much more interesting details? If there is specific imagery associated with your liking towards minigiants, I would definitely recommend further analyzing it or submitting it for another appointment.

Moving on to self perception and recontextualization. Using your own words it seems as though your body leads to some feelings of anxiety. I'd like to make specific note of some word choice; big, awkward, fat, in the way... all of these words have implications of being easily perceived/noticeable. You cite some negative emotions surrounding this perception. Perhaps some degree of social anxiety or insecurity. Where this becomes very interesting is in the recontextualization in the form of a minigiant fantasy.

At first glance this fantasy might not seem to make sense, given it could be considered the magnification of those aforementioned traits, as well as the novelty of a minigiant would certainly increase how much one is perceived by others. However, it seems like consciously or not, there has been some reframing on possible insecurities (not necessarily implying insecurities of the traits themselves but what they seem to suggest as a whole; anxiety of being perceived/noticeable).

The context has been altered to allow for positive restructuring. Big can be exciting and powerful and confident. Lets compare some word choice to the previous description of self;

tall-ish, big, awkward, fat, in the way, anxious

vs

intentional, huge, fun, [wanting] affection

These words exude more confidence.

Intentional; making it your choice

Huge; perceived as a much more impactful/powerful word compared to big

Fun; compared to words used like awkward and anxious. Fun is enjoyable, when we have fun we are less aware of ourselves, we are just enjoying the joy we find.

Wanting affection and closeness; compared to being in the way. Wanting to be seen as something special rather than a burden, as someone to get close to rather than in the way.

G/t is very heavily oriented around power dynamics, and having power tends to give many of us a great increase in confidence as it allows for control or safety in a given situation, among other things. By creating a hyperbolic scenario, it seems you are able to recontextualize the situation to allow insecurities to become the cause of confidence.

This seems to suggest in your day to day you may lack feelings you attribute to confidence. Integrating descriptors you use for minigiants could perhaps feel that lack. Trying to do things intentionally gives us a feeling of control. This could be as simple as even just picking outfits with an intentional vibe, arranging something in your room for an aesthetic layout etc... although I would assume that given the references to intentionality would be more impactful to you if it was associated with interactions with others; intentionally saying hello to a stranger or something along those lines. Integrating time for fun or closeness with friends and family could be very helpful as well.

Now obviously a lot of this is easier said than done, especially when we feel anxious or awkward, but I would definitely recommend looking toward your fantasies for insight. Finding what differs between feeling big and in the way and intentionally huge, and creating little ways you can bring that confidence into your day to day.

Moving on to one of my favorite topics; shrinking and size changing.

Man shrinking is so underappreciated.

Shrinking is something very special, and holds a much different sub type in the tiny archetype. While tinys such as fairies or borrowers have always existed with their status in the power dynamic, shrinking and size changing directly refers to a loss of power.

For those who appreciate physics; shrinking is a vector. A variable with magnitude and direction.

There tends to be much more specific emotions of horror and loss with shrinking, and the context and reaction one associates with shrinking usually has a direct link to some sort of trauma or general negative perception.

I would highly recommend picking apart what response to shrinking you are typically drawn towards.

You specifically mentioned loss of control as well as new perspective. I've noticed in many shrinking tropes we see a sort of man vs. self journey as the overarching tale, where they better themselves through their hardships at their new size and despite losing power, they gain some sort of moral or ethics. Now this is not always the case and there are a variety of shrinking tropes. At times it feels as though even if the shrinking is not a punishment in the narrative itself, its a bit of a punishment fantasy where shrinking allows for reflection, and represents change both literally and metaphorically.

If this tends to be what you mean by change in perspective, it could be very insightful to look at what you typically associate with the pre-shrunk individual and the changes the undergo when shrunk.

loss of control, and perhaps an implication of loss of self.

I'd love to go into more detail in a latter session if you submit specifics in regards to shrinking!

LAST LINE(S) TAG GAME

RULES: Create a new post and share the last line you wrote for your WIP and then tag as many people as there are words you want!

Thanks for the tag, @foibles-fables :)

I’ve been working mostly on restructuring the outline for the Masquerade fic, since there’s a lot of discussion that needs to be woven into a nice flow without getting too deep into exposition of funky mind powers. With that said, here’s the last bit I wrote from a couple days ago, editing brackets and all!

"As I said," Otohan mutters, "Your shields do more harm than good. It's how I immediately sensed your presence here; and consequently, why you didn't sense me. That spark of familiarity—{ heavy word } under tremendous strain. When your powers first presented themselves, it started with the voices, correct? All those surrounding thoughts vying for your attention?"

Otohan pauses then, waiting for Imogen to nod before continuing. "Your first instinct was to forcibly push them out, which admittedly works, in a sense. But our form of telepathy is not like traditional magic, you don't need to consciously focus on reading others' thoughts, they come naturally. Similarly, you don't need to make a conscious effort to keep others out, you only need to concentrate on the connections you want to sustain."

"What if I don't wanna focus on anyone's thoughts?"

"As you hone your { control, } everything should fade to background noise, easily tuned out until needed."

Imogen can see how that would be the case. Even as Otohan is speaking to her now, with Imogen too strained to fully block out others, it has nevertheless receded to a low hum. She can't tell if Otohan is purposely helping or if it's something innate about their similar powers and consequently the connection they share.

"Can you…explain that a bit more?"

"If you'd like, I can show you."

Imogen raises an eyebrow suspiciously.

"I'd be directing you—helping you block out those minds you don't want to focus on, as I did before. I would not be reading your thoughts."

"And I'm just supposed to believe you?" "Do you believe I've lied to you so far?"

Imogen clenches her jaw, staring at Otohan a long moment, looking for any ulterior motive. Beneath the shadow of her mask, Otohan's dark eyes glimmer with a strange sense of mischief, clear amusement at Imogen's suspicion.

I won't tag anyone, since I'm not sure who is currently writing, but feel free to steal this and tag me if you'd like!

[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

A passage of breathless intensity, from the new David Foster Wallace notes:

Though many of its consequences have been written about at length, the key to this is the enormous Kegan restructuring of "the unknown unknowns," the effect upon the American national psyche of not really knowing, of not fully understanding, that we didn't know, the blindspot of the collective American unconscious, in the new era of having to live with and cope with and adjust to being a species whose consciousness has progressed into an unexamined, kind of slyly fucked-up middle ground, of things like reality TV shows, and corporate ads that are so totally self-consciously fake and ironic and trivial and schlocky and in-your-face about being so totally fake and ironic and trivial and schlocky, as though a kitschily artificialized version of our pop culture itself were now doing commercials for the kitschily artificialized versions of the things that it itself is, and here this is all free-floating in 3D cyberspace, where for a time it is common to see glowing digital screens of moving video floating in the air, in the central, most publicly-trafficked areas of the mediascape, depicting simultaneously (and in this case, literalistically) both really, real people existing in the real world being attacked by awesome monsters which they totally cannot see but which we see and we know about and it's totally awesome, and the kids are totally cool with it and it's totally awesome, and everything is totally awesome

Just . . . weird

Drabble: Harley… what did you do to Tim?? (I ask on his behalf since he can’t remember!)

Harley grins at the question, leaning over a table with her breasts hanging down underneath her. Behind her bent hips, Rim Shot is currently buried nose deep in her ass, earning her secondary nickname, Rim Job. "Ooh, you wanna find out how to turn your own twink into a sissy sidekick? Sure thing, no worries!" She finds the right file and starts playing the video journal.

Harley's voiceover narrates the changes that she performed on Tim in his transformation. "I started off with a blast of almost pure E, along with a plant derived T-blocker. One benefit of being FoB with Ive is all the chemicals I could need, and the ones I don't have, I... appropriate from Crane." Tim is laying on his bed right now, barely unconscious as the Harley on the screen injects him with a series of needles. "These are really intense hormones, his body restructured itself almost overnight to obey their commands, but I wanted my new sidekick to be perfect!"

The video cuts to a timestamp 2 days later, showing slight breast growth on Tim's frame. "He reacted quickly to the treatment, thankfully, I was worried I might have fried him a bit with how much I shot him up with. In addition to the breast growth, I also saw that his little robin staff was shrinking too, and good thing. He won't be needing that anymore. I locked him in a series of smaller and smaller chastity cages, and started to train his ass to take whatever cocks we'd want him to." Harley in the video plays with Tim's growing breasts, measures his cock, and slides a small dildo in and out of him.

The next Timestamp is a week after the abduction, this is when Tim woke into full consciousness for the first time. "The hypnotic suggestion worked wonders on his mental state, he was already so suggestible. I loved seeing how his body reacted to everything, she was gonna be beautiful when she was all done." Tim's naked body is even more feminine at this point, his cock and face the only things that retain an image of masculinity. The recording keeps watching as Tim fades in and out of consciousness, the hypnotic words working their magic on him and making her suck Harley's cock without any objection.

"After that, I wanted to reinforce her new behaviors. After all, you don't want to punish behavior you want to see, right? I'd go into a lot of the psychiatric stuff I did here, but I know what I did, and you're not a licensed doctor, so nyeah." Tim played with her breasts and the toy in her ass as she listened happily to the hypnotic words on her headphones now. Harley rewarded her with orgasm when she did exceptionally well, helping guide her pupil into being the perfect sidekick for the slutty clown.

"Finally, she was ready, and it was time for her to pick her own identity." The camera is in closer on Tim and Harley now. Tim is riding a huge dildo on the floor as she speaks. "I... I love being your doll, Harley," she moaned, her hair now much longer, in cute pigtails like her boss. "I think... Darla... Darla Quinn sounds wonderful for me," she moaned. "And when we're outside, as hero and sidekick... Rim Shot."

"I'm glad to welcome ya to the family, Darla," Harley looked like she was on the verge of proud tears. "Aww, come to Mama Harley!" She hugged Darla close, their breasts squishing together in the hug, Darla's now nearly as big as Harley's.

"And that's the story of how Rim Shot came to be," Harley smiled before groaning her climax. Darla had finished her off and was now sitting back on her heels. "Mm, wanna try her out for a spin? She's always eager to eat a new ass."

Different activation of relaxed pleasure

Relaxed pleasure mitigates activation. The activation level seems to decrease superficially but softened fun activates mental functions at a deeper level. Joy enhances clarity of consciousness, a deep thought process, and the restructuring of memories stored in our brains. Comfortable enjoyment raises the level of activation in a very different sense. Cozy joy enhances soft and flexible energy, consolidating the memory of the situation related to the satisfaction of our desire and our demands in attaining a goal.

It's essential to recognize that even when people fulfill their desires, they may not always experience relaxation. Some may feel exaltation instead, and that's perfectly normal. Each person has a unique emotional tendency called "temperament." Some tend to express more tensioned pleasure, while others lean towards excited joy. Understanding and accepting these individual tendencies is crucial in our interactions with others.

 Lack of relaxed pleasure:

In contrast, when the expressed feeling of satisfaction consistently gives way to tension or excitement, and never to comfortable joy, this is abnormal. Such individuals may exhibit a very rigid personality and a lack of flexibility in daily life, potentially leading to an adjustment disorder. This imbalance can lead to aberrant emotional expression, which in turn can negatively impact the cognitive function of both children and adults, underscoring the importance of balanced emotional development.

Relaxed pleasure begins to emerge late after tensioned pleasure and excited pleasure at around 6 – 7 months. Therefore, it is more challenging to express softened joy than the other two kinds of joy. An imbalance of emotional expressions is unavoidable as there is no relaxed pleasure until it appears. But it is usually not a problem for babies. Although a dominance of tensioned pleasure and excited pleasure exists, they are generally not extreme and not fixed tightly in body and mind.

One of the key functions of comfortable joy is to mitigate the effects of extreme tensioned and excited emotions. Unfortunately, due to the constant lack of coziness, these emotions can become extreme. As a child grows older and demonstrates these intense emotions, behavioral problems can appear, highlighting the crucial role of relaxed pleasure in emotional regulation.

Thank you thank you!!!

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

It's not entirely the same as his first design, but I'll be honest, he hasn't changed much since he first showed up on the scene haha. We kinda solidified what he looked like early on. Here's some art of him drawn by my friend @gucciguccigarbage:

🎓- How long have you had the OC?

Forever lol!!! I came up with him back in 2006 when my sister and I were first coming up with the story for Automata.

We usually were very collaborative, but now and again we would try to surprise each other by having secret twists. I had come up with a twist that she figured out almost immediately, and I wanted to try to come up with a curveball that would make her second-guess herself. Akashi was that curveball (it did not work btw... she still figured the twist out 100% haha).

The idea was actually originally for him to die pretty quickly after being introduced, but we ended up loving him so much that the entire story got restructured with him as the main character. It's crazy to think of what the story would have been without him!

❤️ - What is one of your OC's best memories?

Alas, he doesn't really have any memories! Poor thing is an android who was just built, and so when we first meet him in chapter one, that's his literal first moment of consciousness. But I have it on good authority that he will make a lot of memories down the line (both good and bad!)

Ask Game for someone’s OC(s)

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

💼 - What do they do for a living?

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

🎯 -What do they do best?

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

[branded-perceptions]

Insanity emerges as most have no idea about what human consciousness (the stuff you perceive as reality) actually is.

When you drive a car, swim, breathe or walk then much of your coordination of your body and how you react to external signals like traffic light happens automatically while you consciously do not really think about it.

Most your biological and mental processes are happening via what can be called reptilian brain, also regarding social constructs, economic motivation, ideologies & group-identities:

metaphor of "reptiloids enslaving humanity" which refers to people who not introspect about this.

Our emotional mammal brain is how we guide and restructure the DIRECTION🧠👅🧠 of these automated systems processes by assigning unconscious positive & negative identities to SYMBOLS, identity-making, linguistics & reductionistic constructs of our psychotic "conscious" minds "rationality" (superego)

which by definition is nothing but an ironic process of the FORM of repression of the reptilian brain (psychological ID) through the mammal brain (ego).

E.g. sugar-addiction is formed by over time assigning emotional positive identities to mental SYMBOLS & APPEARANCES of all that provides blood-sugar-spikes

(toxic love: 🎶sweet but psycho - Ava Max, 🔍imitation love greg baer)

no matter how it actually TASTES apart from these primitive drug addiction that via out of this grown emotional positive identities overwrite the signals between memory & taste buds.

This is why after eating fast food you tend to feel shitty but a day later you devalued it via emotional positive identity attached to the SYMBOL (branding) making you crave for more,

but when you stop eating it for a few months & then try it it will (because infatuative attachement of your emotional positive identities have faded)

suddenly taste like the shit that it actually is until you again assign the drug effects

(also Social reward Neurochemistry, "brain pattern show sugar (& fried stuff) is more addictive than cocaine")

to emotional infatuation in mental SYMBOLS that you "rationally" self-justify via psychological defences: an ironic process of reductionism.

Similar it is for EVERYTHING.

I thought I was talking to myself until Killer Frost showed up 💀

Then I considered DID or schizophrenia periodically, not fitting the full criteria for either, before eventually deciding that I just heard voices and didn't need to know more specific than that. A few months later I learned about non-disordered plurality.

It did change things somewhat, but more just small things? Like, now that I knew the others were real and that they were whole other people, I began talking to them more and I did so more freely. I reached out to them instead of waiting for them to reach out to me. I began asking for their opinions on things before I did them, such as "What do we want for lunch?" or "What should my next move (in the game) be?" I started work on consciously restructuring my thought from I/me-centric to we/us-centric, purposely forcing myself to remember that I wasn't the only one in the body and that they had just as much right to make decisions and such as I did. Stuff like that.

For those who knew they were plural before learning about plurality as a concept, how did you perceive your system back then? Did discovering the concept affect your dynamic?

For those who discovered they were plural after learning about plurality, how has the actual experience of being plural compared to your initial ideas about it?

This is the last part of this series and I hope you’ve found the information it contains valuable. Be sure to check out parts 1-3 already released. The point of this series is not to cause fear or anxiety. I chose to write about this transit for the same reason I chose astrology as my profession. So that we can move consciously through all experiences brought to us by the game of life. We have the ability to change our reality individually. Pluto is just the one keeping humanity in check as a collective. Nothing is meant to stay the same. If you’d like to have a one-on-one discussion with me about other predictions being made not just by me, but other astrologers, I’m open to that conversation. We are entering historical times and knowledge is power! Below is a list of items that are being foreseen as pivotal topics in the next 20 years. Once again, you don’t have to take my word for what’s to come. Just look around you. Look at what’s already happening. There no doubt you can at least think of one thing on the list below that’s already taking shape. What we’ve seen, is just the tip of the iceberg. - Restructure or collapse of existing financial system - Governments forcing their power and control tactics - Sex and race suppression or exposure - Control in or over media platforms - AI development or machines replacing people - Change in religious beliefs - New world mentality and less tradition based thinking - Increase in Extraterrestrial or UFO research and sightings - Developments in scientific study of what the human body and mind are capable of. These are just a few things I see happening but please note that this list is not all encompassing. I chose to focus more on the positive side of this transition and ride the waves of inevitable change. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series or at least learned a few things about astrology and the irrefutable evidence it provides. It is our road map in this life. Let me show you how you can use it to take better control of your life! And as always…☮️💚✨ #plutoinaquarius https://www.instagram.com/p/CqEaKFnpLaS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Harvard experiment that proved imagination creates reality:

“However much you seem to be living in a material world, you are actually living in a world of imagination. The outer, physical events of life are the fruit of forgotten blossom-times, results of previous and usually forgotten states of consciousness. They are the ends running true to oft-times forgotten imaginative origins. Whenever you become completely absorbed in an emotional state, you are at that moment assuming the feeling of the state fulfilled. If persisted in, whatsoever you are intensely emotional about, you will experience in your world. These periods of absorption, of concentrated attention, are the beginnings of the things you harvest.” - Neville Goddard, Imagining Creates Reality - 365 Mystical Daily Quotes.

Nearly two decades ago, a group of researchers conducted an experiment consisting of adult volunteers, none of whom could previously play the piano. The volunteers were the split into three groups and put to a test. After the tests, brain scans of each individual were taken and analyzed. The goal of the experiment was so that researchers to compare the brains of those who had physically played the piano and those whom had merely imagined doing so.

The first group was taken into a room with a piano and given intensive piano practice for five days. The second group was taken into an identical room with an identical piano, but had nothing to do with the instrument at all. The third group was taken into an identical room with an identical piano and were told to simply imagine they were practicing their instructed exercises. Each group practiced for the same time period (5 days).

Just as the researches had expected, the brains of those who simply sat in the same room as the piano (group 2) hadn’t changed at all. Equally unsurprising was the finding for group 1, which showed that those who had physically performed the piano exercises showed marked structural changes in the area of the brain associated with finger movement. It was group 3, the group that had merely imagined doing the piano exercises, which produced truly surprising results. According to this group’s brain scans, the brain structure of these individuals had changed almost as distinctively as those in group 1, those who actually did practice. The researchers concluded that the power of imagination is not a metaphor, but real and containing a physical basis in our brain. In other words, imagination alone has the ability to restructure and rematerialize matter within our three-dimensional (3D) reality.

Top 5 anime you think are criminally underrated!

This is a really good question, and it was VERY difficult to keep myself to only 5. These are all anime that I think deserve a much wider viewership! (Plus five more!)

I ended up spending waaayyyy longer on this than I thought, I can’t imagine how much I would have written if you’d said top 10. I can literally talk about anime forever. Here’s some I wholeheartedly recommend.

1. Shojo Kageki Revue Starlight (Action, drama, romance)

This is my newest love, as of yesterday, when I binged the whole thing. The best way I can describe it is by mashing up other anime. Take Revolutionary Girl Utena, iron out about three layers of metaphor, and trim off all of the dark themes related to the Rose Bride. Then throw it in a blender with Madoka Magica and Love Live!, add half a cup of Gay Concentrate, and serve up the result: A character-driven drama about girls at a performing arts school, who settle their differences in magical-girl-fantasy duels styled as impossibly gorgeous theatrical stage-combat musical numbers. Beyond the flash and high concept, there’s a well-written cast, solid emotional core, and really engaging plot.

2. The Eccentric Family (Drama, comedy)

This show is my favorite genre of fantasy; mythical creatures living in the modern world, right under humans’ noses. In this series, humans only know tanuki as the cute little raccoon-dogs, but tanuki are really sentient shapeshifters whose goals are to outsmart the humans who live in the cities, pester the tengu who rule the heavens, live a life of freedom and trickery, and not end up on the inside of a hunter’s trap. The story follows a family of a mother and four sons whose widely-respected father was killed to end up in a human’s hot pot, as they try to enjoy their lives, live up to his imposing reputation, and unravel the increasingly suspicious circumstances of his death.

I have called this one “deceptively light-hearted” when describing it. My friend got halfway through the first season and came back to me with the verdict, “consider me fucking deceived.” This show has weight and does not pull its emotional punches, but neither does it ever stumble into becoming grimdark. Its worldbuilding is solid and the characters are all fantastically developed. Plus I wrote a whole post about one of the main antagonists(?) who I hadn’t even mentioned here.

3. Dennou Coil (Mystery, sci-fi)

Dennou Coil is a masterclass in worldbuilding, in my opinion. It’s a near-future sci-fi world, basically if Google Glass had taken off and become as common as cell phones are today. Many people don’t see the real world, they see the virtual textures of the world as they’re rendered through the glasses. Kids in one city have learned to mess around with codes, collecting tradeable fragments that break off the edges where the system glitches, chasing viruses that hide in pockets of obselete code in abandoned areas of the city where the software doesn’t get updated often. They spend their time after school saving virtual pets from being accidentally deleted by the city’s antivirus, trading tall tales about kids who get caught by the antivirus and get their glasses bricked, and spinning urban legends about ghosts waiting just behind anything that’s visibly rendered, waiting to steal kids when they least expect it. Every detail they introduce is critical to laying the foundation for the mystery that forms the show’s plot.

Everything about this world feels real in a way I’ve never seen in a sci-fi anime. It’s all grounded in a clear understanding of programming, and lives by show-don’t-tell. The stakes aren’t life-and-death; the kids tagging glitches like graffiti to distract the city’s antivirus software are only at risk of ruining their glasses, at least at first. The plot and escalation is perfectly-paced, and the mystery is so satisfying to piece together as it unfolds.

4. ID:Invaded (Sci-fi, action, thriller, murder mystery)

This show is like Psycho-Pass meets Silence of the Lambs. To catch a serial killer, you need to think like a killer, and nobody does that better than killers. A contraption called an “id well” can manifest an uncaught killer’s unconscious mind as a bizarre, unique, deadly terrain driven by stream-of-consciousness, and convicted murderers turned “detectives” dive into these wells to try to solve the mystery each well presents and discern the identity of other killers before they can strike again.

This show is a tightly-written, perfectly paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller. The two layers of mysteries inside and outside of the wells balance high-octane, big-screen action with tight, tense realism. Plus the soundtrack is an absolute banger.

5. Ping Pong the Animation (drama, sports)

Imagine if I told you that there was a show that, in 11 episodes, unpacked how patterns of relationships are repeated across generations, how the tradeoff between talent, practice, and who you are outside of your achievements can scar the spirits of kids, and what it feels like to wrestle with the tension between your core understanding of yourself and how others expect you to be. Imagine if I told you that every major character goes through massive restructurings of their fundamental sense of self and how they see others, and that every single arc comes to a well-rounded and satisfying end. Imagine if the animation style pushed the limits of both realism and absurdity, landing somewhere between rotoscoping and caricature, pushing the impact of action and stretching the character’s expressiveness without betraying faces that are animated like real human people. Imagine that it had a dub so fantastic that it sits next to Baccano and Cowboy Bebop in my mind, shows where the cast threw themselves into their roles with their whole hearts.

Now imagine that I told you that this story is told in the context of high schoolers playing ping pong, and that it’s arguably the best show I’ve ever seen. Go watch this show.
