[musk7]

Today is a special day, today is my birthday 🤍 so here are a few words to say to the baby me who has tried a lot to succeed 🥹

I am so proud of you.

Over the past couple of years, I've seen you rewrite your story page by page. And in retrospect, I can tell you've come a long way from where you were.

You have faced challenges and made mistakes, but you have also grown and learned from them, and I am proud of what you have become.

You are never late. I know you haven't realized your dreams yet, but I'm sure you can. Keep studying! Keep loving, keep working hard, keep praying.

And on days when you feel discouraged, look up to God because He is not done writing this beautiful story that is your life. He is still writing the best part of your story.

الحمد لله على ما أعطى والحمد لله على ما مضى، الحمد لله على ما سيأتي والحمد لله لك يا ربي بعد الرضا.

What happens to the brain during spiritual experiences?

Spiritual experiences have been part of human life for thousands of years. Whether it’s a moment of deep meditation, an intense religious experience, or a sudden spiritual awakening, many people report feeling a profound change in how they perceive themselves and the world around them. 

But what happens in the brain during these powerful moments? In this post, we will explore how spiritual awakenings and experiences affect the brain and what science tells us about these extraordinary moments.

At Mystic Kentah, we believe in exploring the connection between spirituality and the mind. Understanding the science behind spiritual experiences can help us appreciate the deep impact they have on our lives.

The Brain and Spiritual Experiences - See How it Works

The human brain is a highly complex organ. It controls everything we do, from basic movements to our deepest thoughts and emotions. When we go through spiritual experiences, the brain responds in unique ways.

Spiritual awakenings, which often involve a sudden shift in perspective or consciousness, can trigger changes in brain activity. People who experience spiritual awakenings might feel a deep connection to the universe, others, or even a higher power. 

Some describe a sense of peace, joy, or even a complete shift in how they understand life. This change is not just a mental or emotional experience—it’s also a physical one, deeply rooted in the brain.

A. The Role of Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are chemicals in the brain that help transmit signals between nerve cells. These chemicals play a crucial role in our mood, feelings, and overall mental state. During spiritual experiences, certain neurotransmitters are more active, which can influence how we feel.

1. Dopamine

Dopamine is often called the “feel-good” neurotransmitter. It’s released when we experience something pleasurable or rewarding. During spiritual experiences, dopamine levels may increase, making us feel happy, fulfilled, or deeply connected to the present moment. This boost in dopamine can help explain the feelings of joy or euphoria that some people report during spiritual awakenings.

2. Serotonin

Serotonin is another neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood and emotions. High levels of serotonin are often associated with feelings of happiness and well-being. During deep spiritual moments, serotonin levels can rise, contributing to feelings of peace, love, and calm. This might explain why many people report a sense of serenity or deep contentment after a spiritual awakening.

3. Endorphins

Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers, released during times of stress or physical activity. They also contribute to feelings of happiness and euphoria. In spiritual experiences, especially during moments of intense meditation or prayer, endorphin levels can rise, leading to a sense of bliss or transcendence. These feelings can deepen the experience, making it feel even more profound and meaningful.

B. The Brain’s Default Mode Network

One of the key regions of the brain involved in spiritual experiences is the default mode network (DMN). The DMN is a network of brain regions that becomes active when we are not focused on the outside world. 

It’s most active when we’re daydreaming, reflecting on our past, or thinking about the future. The DMN is also active when we experience moments of self-awareness or deep reflection.

During spiritual awakenings, the DMN often becomes more active. This is why many people report having profound moments of insight or understanding during meditation, prayer, or other spiritual practices. 

The increased activity in the DMN can create a sense of “connectedness” to the universe or a higher power. This heightened self-awareness allows individuals to break through the usual boundaries of the mind, helping them feel more spiritually aligned.

Interestingly, research has shown that during moments of deep meditation or mystical experiences, the activity in the DMN can become less focused on the self. This means that during spiritual awakenings, the brain may be less concerned with the ego and personal identity, leading to a sense of unity and oneness with the world.

C. The Parietal Lobe and Sense of Self

Another key area of the brain involved in spiritual experiences is the parietal lobe. The parietal lobe is responsible for integrating sensory information and helping us navigate the world. It also plays a major role in our sense of self—how we perceive our body and our boundaries. 

When the parietal lobe is activated in a particular way, it can lead to a sense of “ego dissolution,” where the boundaries between self and others feel less distinct. During spiritual awakenings, the parietal lobe can become less active.

This reduction in activity can lead to the feeling that the self is not separate from others or the universe. Many people report a sense of oneness with everything around them, which is often described as a powerful spiritual experience.

This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as a “mystical experience” or “ego loss.” In these moments, individuals may feel like they are part of something much bigger than themselves. The experience of interconnectedness is a hallmark of many spiritual awakenings.

D. The Limbic System and Emotional Responses

The limbic system is a group of structures in the brain that controls our emotions and memory. It includes the amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus. These areas are responsible for processing feelings of pleasure, fear, joy, and sadness.

During a spiritual awakening, the limbic system plays a major role in the emotional shifts that people experience. For example, the amygdala, which is involved in processing emotions like fear and pleasure, may become less active during moments of deep spiritual connection. 

This decrease in activity can lead to reduced fear or anxiety, allowing individuals to experience greater feelings of love, peace, and compassion. The hippocampus, which is involved in forming memories, may also be activated during spiritual experiences. 

Many people report vivid memories or “aha” moments during their spiritual awakenings, often involving a deep understanding of life’s purpose or a connection to a higher consciousness.

E. The Impact of Meditation and Mindfulness Practices on the Brain

Meditation is one of the most well-known practices for experiencing spiritual awakenings. Research shows that regular meditation can change the structure of the brain. 

For instance, meditation can increase the thickness of the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in decision-making and higher thinking. It can also reduce the size of the amygdala, which is responsible for processing fear and stress.

When practiced regularly, meditation helps to strengthen the brain’s ability to focus, regulate emotions, and experience greater self-awareness. This can explain why so many people report having spiritual experiences during or after meditation. 

The brain’s physical changes from meditation help to open the mind to deeper states of awareness and connection.

What Science Says About Spiritual Awakening!

Spiritual awakening has been a topic of fascination for centuries, capturing the interest of philosophers, theologians, and now, scientists. While the concept may sound abstract or purely mystical, science is beginning to uncover tangible evidence that spiritual awakenings are not just products of imagination or wishful thinking. 

These profound experiences have measurable effects on the brain, offering insights into the intricate relationship between mind, body, and spirit.

A. Spiritual Awakenings Are More Than Belief

For many, spiritual awakening is a deeply personal and transformative experience. It often involves a shift in perception, a heightened sense of connection to the universe, and a feeling of profound clarity or purpose. Historically, these experiences have been associated with religious or spiritual traditions, but modern science is starting to view them through a new lens.

Rather than dismissing these events as subjective or intangible, neuroscientists are studying how the brain changes during such moments. This emerging field of research bridges the gap between spirituality and science, offering a deeper understanding of how spiritual awakenings impact our physical and mental states.

B. Brain Activity During Spiritual Experiences

Research shows that spiritual awakenings and mystical moments are linked to distinct changes in brain activity. These changes primarily occur in regions associated with emotions, self-awareness, and our sense of connection to the world around us. For instance:

1. Enhanced Emotional Processing

The limbic system, which governs emotions like joy, fear, and love, often becomes highly active during spiritual experiences. This heightened activity can result in feelings of overwhelming love, compassion, and gratitude.

2. Altered Self-Perception

The default mode network (DMN), a part of the brain involved in self-reflection and daydreaming, plays a significant role in spiritual experiences. During moments of awakening, the DMN may show reduced activity, leading to a diminished sense of ego. This state, often described as "ego dissolution," helps individuals feel more connected to others and the universe as a whole.

3. Heightened Connectivity

Studies suggest that spiritual experiences can enhance connectivity between different regions of the brain. This integration may explain the clarity and profound insights people often report during or after a spiritual awakening.

Conclusion: The Connection Between Brain and Spirit

Spiritual awakenings are not just powerful moments of emotional or psychological change—they are also deeply rooted in the brain’s activity. The brain’s response to spiritual experiences reveals a profound connection between mind, body, and spirit. 

As science continues to explore this connection, we gain a deeper understanding of how these experiences can lead to lasting transformation. At Mystic Kentah, we encourage individuals to explore their spiritual path with an open heart and mind. 

Whether through meditation, prayer, or personal reflection, spiritual awakenings offer a unique opportunity to align with your true self and experience greater peace, love, and connection.

Holographic glitter fairy kitten sweater! Ford and Mabel needed way more screen time on the show. I like to think that Dipper is someone Ford can pass a legacy to, but Mabel is someone who taught Ford how to find joy. After a lifetime of using his talents to fuel his ambitions or survival, it would be so heartwarming to see him invent just to make his girly little niece smile.

[insertdisc5]

are there any fan works that have made you rethink one of your own characters?

no lol. however allow me to go on a tangent for a minute.

i have been on tumblr for a very long time. i have been in fandoms. i have made my fanworks. ive seen Stuff. so i know how people react to fandoms and characters they love. which is (and i mean this with no judgment! and even love!!!): fans add their own flavor to the characters, sometimes enhancing them, but also, sometimes, making the character. completely. unrecognizable

again, no judgment!!!!! ive done it myself!!! often!!!! all the time!!!! you can search for it here on my tumblr!!!! i've done it and i love doing it!!!! hashtag my blorbo now!!!! HOWEVER. when i was making ISAT, i did not think it would blow up like this. but i am someone who prepares for every eventuality, so i did think ok. well. what if it does blow up like this. and people. make. my little guys. from my heart. my bosom. absolutely. unrecognizable

all this to say that if you're making a project that could become Tumblrized(affectionate), or even any kind of project: i highly recommend writing down what your characters mean to you. why you made them like this. what made you go down this route. why did you make this project in the first place. what does this Mean To You And You Alone. so that if your character becomes Unrecognizable. you can still remember what you put in them first. and people can Tumblrize to their hearts content and you can be happy and the people can be happy and we can all hold hands having a different version of the blorbo in our brains

Signs You May Be Experiencing a Spiritual Awakening

A spiritual awakening is a profound, often life-changing experience that leads to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. It can manifest as a sudden realization or gradually unfold over time, often triggered by major life events or inner reflection. 

During this process, you begin to see beyond the surface of everyday life, experiencing a heightened sense of awareness, connection, and purpose. In the early stages of a spiritual awakening, you may feel a shift in your thoughts, emotions, and perspectives. 

It can feel both exciting and unsettling as you begin questioning old beliefs, values, and relationships. You may also notice a strong desire for inner peace, authenticity, and a more meaningful existence. As these changes unfold, it’s essential to recognize the signs and embrace the journey.

With Mystic Shaman Kentah, we understand that the spiritual awakening process is unique to each individual. Being aware of the signs can help you navigate this transformative experience with clarity and confidence.

In this blog, we will explore key signs that indicate you may be entering a spiritual awakening, offering insight and guidance to support you along the way.

1. Heightened Awareness and Sensitivity:

One of the most noticeable signs of a spiritual awakening is a heightened sense of awareness. You begin to perceive the world differently, noticing details and energies that were previously overlooked. You may feel more connected to nature, animals, and the people around you, experiencing an increased sensitivity to your environment.

2. Desire for Solitude and Reflection

As you enter the early stages of a spiritual awakening, you may feel drawn to spend more time alone, reflecting on your life and your purpose. This solitude is essential for self-discovery and personal growth, allowing you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and spiritual beliefs on a deeper level.

3. Questioning Your Beliefs and Values 

A spiritual awakening often brings about a period of questioning. You may find yourself re-evaluating long-held beliefs, values, and even your relationships. This process of inner exploration is a key aspect of awakening, as it allows you to shed limiting beliefs and align with your authentic self.

4. Increased Intuition and Inner Guidance 

During a spiritual awakening, you may notice that your intuition becomes stronger. You begin to trust your inner guidance more, relying on gut feelings and instincts to navigate decisions. This heightened intuition is a sign that you are becoming more attuned to your higher self and the spiritual realm.

5. Emotional Fluctuations and Healing 

It’s common to experience intense emotional fluctuations during the early stages of awakening. Old wounds, unresolved issues, and repressed emotions may surface, leading to periods of emotional release. 

While this can be overwhelming, it is a natural part of the spiritual healing process. Embrace these emotions as they arise, knowing that they are clearing the way for spiritual growth and transformation.

6. A Desire for Purpose and Meaning 

As your spiritual awakening unfolds, you may feel a deep yearning for purpose and meaning in your life. You may start to question the material world and seek out experiences that nourish your soul. This desire for a more meaningful existence is a hallmark of awakening and signals a shift toward living a more conscious, purpose-driven life.

7. Feeling Disconnected from Old Patterns and People

As your spiritual awakening deepens, you may feel disconnected from certain habits, people, or environments that no longer resonate with your evolving self. This can sometimes feel isolating, but it is a natural part of shedding old layers that no longer align with your higher purpose. Embrace this detachment as part of your transformation.

8. A Newfound Appreciation for the Present Moment

During a spiritual awakening, you become more attuned to the present moment. Mindfulness becomes a natural way of living, and you find joy in the simplicity of everyday experiences. Whether it’s observing a sunset or enjoying a quiet cup of tea, you feel more grateful and present in the now.

9. Deepened Compassion and Empathy

A spiritual awakening often brings a heightened sense of compassion for others. You may find yourself more empathetic to the struggles and emotions of those around you. This newfound empathy helps you connect with others on a deeper, more meaningful level and fosters a sense of unity with all beings.

10. Feeling Called to Serve or Help Others

As you progress through your spiritual awakening, you may feel a strong urge to serve others, whether through volunteer work, spiritual teaching, or simply spreading kindness. This sense of purpose is driven by your connection to the greater whole and a desire to contribute positively to the world.

Navigating the Early Stages of a Spiritual Awakening

The beginning stages of a spiritual awakening can feel disorienting and overwhelming at times. You may feel disconnected from the world you once knew, questioning everything from your career to your relationships. 

However, this stage is essential for personal and spiritual growth. With Mystic Shaman Kentah, we encourage embracing this uncertainty with patience and trust. Here are some tips to help you navigate these early stages:

1. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation:

Mindfulness and meditation practices are powerful tools that can help ground you during the awakening process. By cultivating awareness of the present moment, you can stay centered and calm, even when emotions run high. Regular meditation also strengthens your connection to your higher self, providing clarity and insight during times of confusion.

2. Seek Guidance and Support:

It’s important to remember that you don’t have to go through your spiritual awakening alone. Seek out spiritual teachers, mentors, or like-minded communities that resonate with your journey. With Mystic Shaman Kentah, we offer resources and support to help guide you through this transformative process.

3. Embrace Self-Care and Healing:

The emotional and physical shifts that occur during a spiritual awakening can be taxing on your body and mind. Make self-care a priority by engaging in activities that nurture your well-being, such as yoga, journaling, or spending time in nature. Allow yourself time to rest and heal, understanding that this is an essential part of your spiritual growth.

4. Be Open to Change 

A spiritual awakening often brings significant changes to your life. You may feel drawn to new interests, careers, or relationships that align more closely with your true self. While these changes can feel daunting, trust that they are leading you toward a more authentic and fulfilling life path.

5. Release Old Patterns and Beliefs:

During a spiritual awakening, you may realize that many of your long-held beliefs no longer resonate with your new awareness. This is a natural part of the process. Take time to identify and release limiting patterns, behaviors, and thought processes that no longer serve your highest good. Letting go can feel liberating, clearing the way for new perspectives and opportunities to emerge.

6. Trust Your Intuition:

As you awaken spiritually, your intuition will likely become stronger. Learn to trust this inner guidance, as it can help steer you in the right direction. When faced with decisions, instead of relying solely on logic, listen to what your heart and intuition are telling you. Mystic Shaman Kentah teaches that your inner voice is a direct connection to your higher self, guiding you toward what is most aligned with your soul’s purpose.

7. Allow Yourself to Feel:

It’s common to experience intense emotions during a spiritual awakening. You may feel sadness, fear, or even elation as your old self begins to shed and a new self emerges. Rather than suppressing these emotions, allow yourself to fully feel and process them. Emotional release is an important part of spiritual growth and healing. Journaling, speaking with a trusted friend, or engaging in creative outlets can help you express and release these emotions.

8. Have Patience with the Process:

Spiritual awakening is a lifelong journey, and there’s no rush to reach a specific destination. Be patient with yourself and the process, knowing that each step brings you closer to a deeper understanding and connection. There will be highs and lows, but with time, you’ll find more peace and clarity. Mystic Shaman Kentah encourages surrendering to the flow of life, trusting that everything is unfolding as it should.

Conclusion

Entering the beginning stages of a spiritual awakening is a powerful and transformative experience that can shift your perception of the world and your place within it. While it may bring moments of confusion and uncertainty, it also offers profound opportunities for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.

With Mystic Shaman Kentah, we are here to support and guide you as you embark on this spiritual journey. Whether you are seeking tools for mindfulness, meditation, or a deeper understanding of your spiritual path, we offer the resources to help you navigate the complexities of your awakening. 

Embrace this opportunity for transformation and trust that you are evolving into your higher, more authentic self.

upcoming thai ql prayer circle 🤝🤝🤝

[eveningdawn222]

people who act like batman isn't "judge jury and executioner" because he doesn't kill people are like. genuinely so funny to me because. they're very obviously thinking of "executioner" as like. the stereotypical guy with axe who chops people heads off, and not, yknow, the literal definition of the idiom itself, which is about someone who has the ability to judge and then subsequently punish someone unilaterally. which is quite literally what batman does.

he has the ability to decide what is a "crime" to him, he is the one who decides whether people are guilty of those crimes, and he is the one who executes their punishment. the severity of the punishment doesn't matter - he is unaccountable to anyone else, and indeed is allowed to commit as many crimes as needed to reach his arbitrary ideal of "justice."

the ideal of batman is this: a man who is so fundamentally changed by an act of senseless violence that he takes it upon himself to fight back against the rot and corruption in the world. he does this not through political activism, not through ridding himself of his wealth in favor of a greater good, not through community outreach, but through an individualistic fantasy of being a hero.

and you'll say: charlie, but he does do that !!! he donates his money all the time, he funds social programs, hospitals, orphanages, gets people jobs -

and i will say this: so why don't things get better?

because here's the base of it. gotham, at its core, can't get better. no matter what bruce wayne does, there will always be more crime, more villains, more death, more people for batman to beat up in back alleys. because that's what sells.

reoffending rates don't matter in gotham, prison reform doesn't matter in gotham, what actually causes crime doesn't matter in gotham because that doesn't sell books.

and so here it is; dc has unintentionally created a world where batman can't win, but can't be wrong, and where thousands of nameless, faceless, only-created-to-die civilians must be pushed into the meat grinder that is gotham, to fuel bruce wayne's angst and vindicate his constant, tireless, noble fight against the forces of evil.

and then: a new robin, who is poor and who's parents are dead or gone because of this cycle; who is happy go-lucky and hated by editors and fans for being robin, for not being dick grayson, for being poor.

and this robin is written, unintentionally or not, to be angry at the ways in which batman's (the narrative's) idea of justice is detached from its victims. bruce seems perfectly fine to allow countless unnamed women to be at risk from garzonas in his home country, yet robin is the one who is portrayed as irrational and violent.

this robin is not detached from gotham in the way bruce wayne is: this robin is a product of gotham.

(and here's the thing. you can't punch aids. you can't fight a disease with colorful fights and nifty gadgets. and how would robin dying from aids add to batman's story; it would call into question the systemic changes that haven't been made in gotham. how does a child get aids, in batman's city?)

so robin dies, and then bruce (the narrative) spends the next couple of decades blaming it on him. it is jason's fault; he was reckless, he just ran in, he thought it was all a game. if only bruce had seen what was coming, if only he could have known that jason wasn't rich enough or smart enough or liked enough to be robin.

batman gets a little more violent, a little more self destructive. he hurts people more and almost (!!) kills a couple guys. this is bad because it's self destructive and "not who he is." it is not bad because batman should not be able to just beat people up when he's angry.

and then he gets a shiny new robin - who is all the things jason "wasn't": rich and smart and rational and he doesn't put who batman is into question. batman and robin are partners, and jason is a grave and a cautionary tale, and (crucially here) never right.

the joker kills thousands and it doesn't matter because they were written to be killed.

batman beats up thousands and it doesn't matter because they were written to be criminals.

and then jason comes back, and nothing has changed. there is a batman and a (shiny! rich!) robin and the joker kills thousands. (because it sells)

and jason is angry - he has been left unavenged - his death has meant nothing, just as willis' had, just as catherine's had, just as gloria's had, just as -

thousands. ten of thousands. hundreds of thousands. written to be killed.

but one of them gets to come back.

and he is angry - not only at the joker, but at bruce (the narrative) - because why is the joker still alive (when thousands-)

here is the thing - jason todd is right. not because the death penalty is good, not because criminals deserve to die, not because of everything he says -

but because of what he calls into question. why is the joker alive?

because he sells books.

and dc has written a masterful character, through no fault of their own, because jason knows what is wrong, and he knows who is at fault - batman. (the narrative)

so the argument that bruce can't kill because he's not judge jury and executioner; the argument that jason is a cop or that jason is insane or that jason is in the wrong here; they hold no weight.

batman can't kill the joker because the joker sells comic books.

and jason can't kill the joker because the joker sells comic books.

so he will beg and plead and grovel - he will betray everything that is himself, he will forsake his family and his city and kill himself - just so that bruce (the narrative) will let the joker die.

he was condemned to death by an audience, and after he came back he has spent his whole life looking us in the eyes and screaming, asking, pleading; why is the joker still alive?

why are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands (the number doesn't matter, see, because they're just a number. not people. not real.) why are we expendable for his story? why did i have to die just for nothing to change?

and the answer is money. and the answer is the batman can never be wrong. and the answer is shitty writing. and the answer is -

nothing jason can ever change.

which is the worst of it all. he is a victim with no power, and no one else in the world can see it. he is raging and crying and screaming at his father and his writers and you - and it doesn't matter. jason doesn't matter. and he knows it.
