#dense matter

[ankhmeanswombman]

The act that will end all struggle and every war active on earth right now, is to simply cut ties between the spirit world and this dense carnal 3D reality which requires one to function in a mindset of abundance as opposed to lack and Love as opposed to fear. Once that womb is closed we will see the end of all conflict, which will manifest as less and less physical beings coming here to learn in this school of life, which of course, the ego will see as a problem and will incentivise perpetuation of material beings to keep generating this Maya. When that time comes that the populations shrink, we will begin to dwell in the Aether/Oblivion, no longer needing to materialise ourselves so as to experience the game of rugged survivalism, no longer borne of the pain of woman trapped inside a false hormone-driven lie, but rather borne painlessly as a Merkaba lightbody which like (the true) Creator, knows All, is All, and creates All. Ego created us in flesh and ego ultimately drives the vast majority to stay here and keep it going. If the cosmos is a brain, the part of it that creates matter is the ego/Yaldabaoth. We are currently living in God’s mental ego-chamber but the good news is that we can choose to ascend by not feeding the ego-aspect of the self.

what i love about laios is that he's actually very good at putting puzzle pieces together BUT HERE'S THE THING 1) he needs to HAVE the information, and 2) (this is important) he needs to KNOW it is information he should care about

and i think this could be said of anyone but the thing with laios is that people tend to view his lack of awareness wrt social etiquette and memory problems as pure indifference and/or obliviousness; sometimes they misinterpret his motives based on their inaccurate expectations of him and therefore don't give his thoughts on a subject the credit he deserves

one of the most obvious examples of this happens at least twice in the manga as i remember it, but the most recent incident was when they were trying to resurrect falin. there's a moment where laios mentions reconstructing both of the warg skeletons, as their bones are mixed in with hers. both chilchuck and senshi balk at this, with chilchuck complaining aloud, questioning laios' priorities,

and laios quickly, angrily retorts. his reason for making the suggestion is perfectly logical and practical, but because his friends are used to his interest in monsters influencing his judgement, often in ways they see as frivolous or dangerous, they don't come to the same conclusion. one which i'd argue is kind of obvious considering the situation

we see it again during his fight with toshiro, where toshiro demands to know what laios plans to do to save falin. laios takes a minute to answer, but he DOES answer, following the logic that if falin is a chimera because of (and controlled by) the mad mage, then the logical next step is to confront/defeat/usurp them

then in the following episode, when chilchuck brings it up again, laios explains what he (now) knows about thistle, mentioning that he's the same elf that laios saw in the living paintings, which is why he knows thistle's connection to delgal. the party reacts like this:

i'd say this is an example of them feeling frustration over laios' habit of having 'bad timing', not knowing when or how to speak at appropriate moments. theyre judging him for not saying something earlier, as if he already knew all this but didn't think to mention it when it was relevant, when the reality is that laios only just now had all the pieces he needed to understand the full picture

and i mention this bit specifically because i think it's a great way to explain what i mean by point 2: laios needs to know when information is important and worth considering

which, again, feels fucking obvious. but as someone who ALSO has debilitating issues with remembering important shit, i find this particular element of it pretty relatable and critical to my overall point. it's not laios' fault that he didn't know who thistle was or his significance - why the hell would he assume that a person he met in a living painting, presumably long since dead in reality, should be someone who's face, name, or motives he keeps in mind?

ultimately, i guess what i'm trying to say with all this is that the way others treat laios' intelligence is not congruent to how actually smart he is. one of the things i love most about laios, what is possibly his biggest strength and the reason he is such a great protagonist, is that laios is willing to think things through and find the most logical conclusion to a problem, no matter how outlandish or dangerous or seemingly impossible that conclusion may be. sister got eaten? race back down to go get her. can't afford food? fight, defeat, and eat dangerous monsters. sister's fully digested? use black magic to bring her back. now she's a chimera? defeat the mage controlling her and use that power to fix it.

anyways. what was even my point with this post? i guess it is that laios is smart, at least as smart as anyone else in the cast, arguably smarter than some. he is intelligent and utilizes that intelligence in many ways, not JUST when it comes to monster info (though that is his best and sexiest brand of knowledge)

and also please be nice to your friends with memory problems. it's rough out here for forgetful bitches

Fun lil fact I learned today: In 2010, the United States added 4 megawatts of grid-scale battery-based energy storage.

In the first seven months of 2024, the United States added 7 gigawatts of grid-scale battery-based energy storage.

As of July, the United States has about 21 gigawatts of grid-scale batteries.

("Grid-scale" storage is defined here as installations with more than 1 megawatt capacity)

Seems like a lot! It's only about 2% of what the US would need to run on basically nothing but wind and solar, but it's interesting how dramatic the shift has been in the last couple of years.

idk if anyone has been keeping up with the #blockout2024 movement where people are blocking celebrities or influencers that have talked about the genocide and people have been making their lists of who to block on social media and today bisan posted about it on her story it was lists and bts was right there (blackpink too) but i am mentioning bts because some armys took it upon themselves to harass her on instagram and dm her about it like... these people's arrogance is crazy. this woman is going through a genocide right now, she has been displaced multiple times and is asking you to take action for palestine and you go out of your way to harass her because she put your oppas on that list and she is valid for it! bts and blackpink, being the biggest kpop boy group and girl group respectfully, should be saying something like OF COURSE THEY ARE GONNA BE THERE and tbh every kpop group should be on these people's lists because they can go on with their lives like nothing is happening and i'm sorry if this offends you personally but if it does offend you, you have a problem you need to fix like??

Rita: If only Moffun was real so I can give them a hug...

Morf: ...Rita...

Rita: What?

Morf: There is a real Moffun. You literally fight alongside her and went to prison with her.

Rita: ?

Morf: Himeno.

Rita: What about her?

Morf: *deepest sigh that could be heard all across Chikyuu*

Morf: She's cute, right? Very cute?

Rita: I suppose that would be the correct term.

Morf: Almost as cute as Moffun.

Rita: yeah.

Morf: But she's actually really scary while looking cute, correct?

Rita: I believe that is an accurate description. But why ask these obvious questions?

Morf: Who else is cute but also scary while looking cute?

Rita: Moffun

Morf: *wildly gestures* so?

Rita: I don't get it

Morf and the Mini Moffuns:
