♡︎doubts

there are moments when doubt clouds your mind, when you question your true nature, and wonder if it’s really possible that you are the embodiment of pure consciousness, that you are god itself. but here’s the truth: you are powerful beyond measure, and doubt is simply the ego’s way of keeping you small. remember, you are not the voice in your head. you are the one who hears it. you are not your body, your circumstances, or the labels others give you. all of those things change. you, however, are the unchanging, eternal awareness behind it all—pure consciousness. that alone is your essence, and it is limitless. it is god in its most divine, infinite form. you are that. your are god.

so why doubt? doubt arises when we identify too strongly with our limited selves—with the ego, the stories we tell ourselves about who we think we are, and the false separation we feel from the universe. but here’s the thing: that separation is an illusion. you are not separate. you are one with everything, one with all beings, one with the source of all creation. if god is infinite and formless, then that is who you truly are.

the world we live in is built on beliefs that reinforce separation and limitation, which make us forget our true nature as god, as pure consciousness.

from a young age, we’re taught to define ourselves by external things—our name, our achievements, our social status, how others perceive us. we’re told that we’re just humans, separate from everything else, living in a material world where everything seems to exist outside of us. society measures success by how much we have or how well we fit into its standards. this constant focus on the external world leads us to forget the infinite power we hold inside.

there’s also a deep-rooted belief in scarcity and competition. we’re told that there’s not enough for everyone and that we need to work hard to “earn” our place in the world. this idea of having to compete with others to survive keeps us in a mindset of lack and limitation. it makes us feel like we’re small, powerless, and unworthy of the greatness we naturally possess.

on top of that, most of us are bombarded by information and distractions that keep our attention outside of ourselves—social media, advertisements, entertainment. these things make us constantly compare ourselves to others, reinforcing the idea that we’re not good enough, that we’re missing something. when our minds are always focused outward, we forget to look within, where our true power lies.

religion, too, can play a role in reinforcing the separation. many traditional religious teachings portray god as something outside of us—an all-powerful being up in the sky, separate from us, judging us. this can make it hard to recognize that god is within us, that we are one with the divine. instead of seeing ourselves as divine beings with infinite power, we’re taught to see ourselves as flawed, imperfect, and in need of salvation from something outside of us.

the education system also teaches us to prioritize logic, reason, and empirical evidence. while these things are valuable, they often make us dismiss our inner knowing, our intuition, and our connection to something greater than the physical world. we start to believe that the only “real” things are those we can see, measure, and prove scientifically, which distances us from the understanding that we are consciousness itself.

all these systems—society, media, religion, education—focus on the material, the external, and reinforce the idea that we’re separate, small, and limited. but these are just illusions. the truth is, beyond all these distractions, we are god in human form. we are the creators of our reality, infinite and powerful beyond measure.

to overcome this conditioning, we need to remember to turn inward, to connect with our true essence. by shifting our focus from the external world to the inner, we can begin to see that the separation and limitation we’ve been taught are illusions. we are, and have always been, one with the infinite.

think about that for a moment: you are the consciousness that creates worlds.

the doubt you feel is just the mind holding on to a false story. it’s the ego trying to convince you that you need to stay small, stay afraid. but you don’t have to. you have the power to step into your true nature at any time, to realize that you are already the infinite, and that nothing can diminish your divine power. cuz ur god duh. 😝

how do you release these doubts?

shift your perspective: any time you find yourself doubting, pause and ask, “who is doubting right now?” is it your higher self, your infinite consciousness? or is it your mind, your ego, your conditioning? you’ll realize that it’s always the latter. remind yourself that the real you, the one observing, is always free from doubt.

affirm your power: wake up every morning and affirm: “i am infinite. i am consciousness itself. i am god in form.” these words are not just affirmations—they are the deepest truth of your existence. repeat them, let them sink into your being, until you feel the energy of your divinity pulsing through your every cell.

remember your unity with everything: god is not something separate from you. the universe is not some distant force. it is you. you are made from the same divine consciousness that runs through every star, every planet, every being. the same consciousness that creates life flows through you, too. you are the universe experiencing itself.

embrace your power: you are not weak, you are not small. you are the creator of your reality, the manifestor of your dreams, and the master of your destiny. nothing outside of you can take that power away from you because it is in you. it is you. every time you doubt, remind yourself of this: i am the creator. i am the source of all power.

you are limitless. the doubt you feel is just a temporary veil over your true power, but it can’t last. every time you bring your awareness back to the present moment, every time you remember that you are pure consciousness, the veil lifts. the illusion fades.

there is no need to doubt when you realize you are already everything you seek. you don’t have to strive to become god, to become powerful, to become divine—you already are. it’s always been you. it will always be you.

so, the next time doubt creeps in, breathe deeply, smile, and remember: you are pure consciousness, infinite, powerful, and divine. you are the creator of all that is. step into that truth and watch the world transform around you.

♡︎failure

we’ve all grown up with the idea that failure is something to be feared, that it’s a sign we’re not good enough or capable enough. but what if i told you that failure isn’t real? it’s an illusion we’ve been conditioned to believe in, and once you truly understand this, especially in the context of the void state, you can release the fear of failure and step into your infinite power.

here’s why failure doesn’t exist and how realizing this can change your entire perspective on life.

1. failure is just a label, not a reality

first of all, the concept of failure is something we create in our minds. it’s a label we slap on situations when things don’t go according to our expectations. society conditions us to believe that if we don’t achieve a specific outcome, we’ve failed. but who decides what failure even means? it’s not the universe. it’s not some law of existence. it’s us, based on societal norms and conditioning.

society sets all these expectations—like getting a certain job, reaching milestones by certain ages, succeeding in school, relationships, and more. when we don’t meet those arbitrary standards, we call it failure. but the truth is, life doesn’t operate according to those rigid standards. there are no universal rules that say you have to achieve a particular thing by a certain time. when we attach the label of failure to an experience, it’s just a reflection of our own beliefs—not reality.

2. the void state: where failure dissolves

now, let’s talk about the void state. the void is a place where all external ideas and constructs—including failure—dissolve. the void state is the place of infinite potential, pure consciousness, and limitless creation. when you enter the void, you step outside of the physical world’s limitations, stepping into a space where everything is possible.

in the void, there is no concept of failure, because there are no external judgments or expectations. it’s a state where you can create whatever reality you desire, free from the constraints of your current circumstances. when you realize you can access this space, the idea of failure becomes irrelevant. why? because the void is a reminder that you are always in control of your reality, no matter what happens in the physical world. failure is tied to the ego’s attachment to outcomes, but in the void, the ego doesn’t exist. the void reminds you that you are not limited by past mistakes, external circumstances, or societal expectations. you are infinite consciousness with the power to create and manifest anything you choose. when you realize this, “failure” can’t touch you, because you understand that you can always start fresh, that you’re constantly creating in each moment.

3. there are only lessons and growth

instead of seeing failure, recognize that every experience is an opportunity for growth. when things don’t go the way you planned, it doesn’t mean you failed—it means you learned. it means you grew. each experience teaches you something valuable about yourself, your path, and the world around you.

when you shift your perspective to see every situation as a stepping stone, you’ll realize there’s no such thing as failure—there’s only progress. every setback is a redirection, a guide leading you toward a better understanding of yourself and your desires. it’s the universe saying, “this is what you need to learn before you reach the next level.” from this perspective, what we call “failure” becomes just another part of the journey toward expansion and self-mastery.

4. the power of the void to manifest success

when you fully embrace the void state and recognize your power to manifest, you understand that there is no wrong path. whatever you desire, you can create it. the void is a space where you can strip away all the beliefs that tell you otherwise, a space where you can manifest new realities instantly, regardless of what has happened before.

if you ever feel like you’ve failed at something, use that as a cue to tap into the void. enter that space of stillness, of limitless possibility, and remind yourself that you are the creator of your life. nothing is set in stone, nothing is permanent. everything is subject to change based on your thoughts and beliefs. if you desire a new outcome, you have the power to manifest it.

in the void, you realize that “failure” is just another momentary experience, not a permanent mark on your life. you can always rewrite the story, start fresh, and bring your desires into reality without being held back by what others call failure.

5. you’re always winning, even when it doesn’t seem like it

when you’re stuck in the mindset of failure, you’re looking through a narrow lens, focusing only on what didn’t go according to plan. but when you zoom out, you’ll often realize that those moments were setting you up for something greater. Trust that you are always winning. every step you take, even when it doesn’t look like success on the outside, is moving you closer to your ultimate goal. sometimes things fall apart so something better can come together. in the void, you can see this clearly, because it’s the place where your higher self is always in control, always guiding you toward your best possible life.

6. failure is just part of the illusion of separation

at its core, the idea of failure is rooted in the illusion of separation—that we are separate from our goals, separate from success, separate from the divine. but in truth, there is no separation. we are already one with everything we desire. the belief in failure comes from the false notion that we’re lacking something, that we’re not enough or that we’re disconnected from our power.

but the void state reminds us that we are already whole, already complete. we are god, we are pure consciousness, and we are the creators of our reality. failure doesn’t exist in a world where you understand that everything is connected, that you are already everything you seek.

embrace your power

the next time you feel like you’ve failed, remember this: failure doesn’t exist. it’s a label we’ve been taught to fear, but it’s not real. in the grand scheme of your infinite existence, there are only experiences—some of them are stepping stones to success, and some are lessons that help you grow. but they’re all part of your journey, and none of them diminish your power.

when you tap into the void state, when you realize that you are pure consciousness and the creator of your life, failure becomes irrelevant. you are always in control, always manifesting, always creating. setbacks are temporary, but your power is eternal.

so, let go of the illusion of failure, you are god, and in your world, failure does not exist. inducing pure consciousness/the void state is literally impossible to fail. failure simply does not exist.

♡︎limitations

as a god you are limitless. no matter what anybody tells you, you are limitless that will never change because that is just the truth. you will and can never stop being god. you are not just some random human who came across loa/manifesting some random friday afternoon. you are limitless. you are pure consciousness, you are the creator you determine what is real and what is to happen.

no dream is too big no desire is too out far out of reach, you are god so might as well just start acting like it lol.

The Planets in Astrology

Sun is Sol aka Soul. It’s your essence and the power source in your chart. It can also be symbolized as your ego as each birthday you have is a celebration of the Sun. This planet essentially shows how you shine and the light you bring into the world. The sign and house the sun is in oftentimes is where you excel the most. It’s where you have authority and significant influence. Dictates having ruler ship, sort of like where you are king. The Sun also depicts your relationship with your father as well.

The moon: In astrology, the moon deals with several aspects of your life in the birth chart. It’s why it’s considered the most important planet in Vedic astrology. Essentially deals with how you feel at home. Not just your physical home, but the emotional world within you as well and how safe you feel within your own body. Since the body houses dna and remnants of family the moon deals with how you interact with your direct family members . The relationship you have with family and also the way you interact with your ancestors. Undertanding your moon sign is understanding what makes you feel safe and comforted, as well as your origin story.

Mercury: The intellectual aspect of the heavenly bodies. It is essentially the mind, showing how you process information. It also deals with the voice and your communication style. It’s how you get across who you are to other people in the world and how other people will receive what you say. Important to note Mercury always stays close to the Sun it can only be one sign behind, the same or one sign in front the Sun. The depiction of the fool always being close to the King is depicting mercuries relationship to the sun.

Venus: the planet of love, beauty and glamour. I feel like the most essential aspect of Venus is pleasure. What brings you a sense of satisfaction in your life. Your Venus sign shows how you give and receive pleasure in your life. Pleasure is not a bad thing, but the dark side to Venus shows without boundaries it can lead you to overindulgence and superficiality. The planet also rules over your values and what makes you have a sense of self worth. It can also signify your monetary gains and relationship with money. Venus is exalted in Pisces showing that love excels when it’s unconditional. However, unconditional love does not really exist. Mainly because you need certain boundaries and conditions in love, or else you are only allowing yourself to be mistreated. What I believe unconditional love to mean is that no matter who you are, you are deserving of love and with the people you love you must learn to forgive( forgiveness being the core trait of Pisces)

Mars: The driving force in our birth chart. It’s often associated with passion, aggression and drive. Mars is the warrior and how we fight for what we want in our lives. But as much as it is associated with violence and destruction, I often see mars as the planet of protection. One because of the shield that is apparent within the symbol. However it’s mainly because mars does not fight unless it feels threatened, it is a planet that seeks for justice. So in order to protect himself, he must utilize the sword to strike down his enemies. In summary mars is going to show how we fight and protect ourselves, what angers us and motivates us to keep pushing forward. I would also like to point out that mars is often associated with our sex drive as well. I need to do more research on this, but it’s mainly because Mars controls those primal instincts within us. Sex being one of those instinctive urges. The combination between your Venus and your Mars can show the sensual pleasures you seek in life.

Jupiter: The planet of expansion. After Venus, it is the 2nd benefic planet but considered the most beneficial. Whatever Jupiter touches it expands and enlarges. We can see this from the fact that it is the largest planet. The key word for Jupiter is abundance but the shadow to this is excess. Wherever Jupiter is placed in your chart you will experience an excessive amount of that energy. Oftentimes, your Jupiter placement will take you on important journeys that will help teach you significant life lessons. Jupiter rewards you when you learn these lessons and apply them into your belief system. It is the guru planet that makes you gain wisdom from experience. Experience is another key word for Jupiter as it rules over long distance travel and foreign lands. How far will you go for the chance to gain knew knowledge. If you want more luck in your life tap into your Jupiter placement.

Saturn: Now Papa Saturn... Farther time can often be so cruel, but we later see down in the future this was a blessing in disguise. Saturn is the planet of restriction and discipline. Whichever house and sign Saturn is in your chart you can expect significant delays to occur, you might feel like your being blocked from any progress, but Saturn shows with resilience and consistency things do become better. Time heals all is the main theme of Saturn. It provides you with blessings through growth and maturity. This is what the Saturn return is all about, when Saturn comes back to the sign of your birth after about 28 years. It comes to either bless you for becoming wiser and older or wake you up to your false reality. At the end of the day Saturn just wants to bring you a sense of stability.

The outer planets:

Now with the outer planets they are a little bit tricky because they have all been discovered within the last few centuries. So interpretation are very modern. But the myths of the planets explain their significance. These are generational planets as they take a long time to move around the sun. This means it’s important to recognize this is a collective energy rather than a personal influence. Think of them as ways you interact with the larger society. Unless these planets are making strong aspects in your birth chart, they often don’t hold much significance.

Uranus: This is the planet of upheavals and major rebellions. Uranus in the birth chart shows where you stand out in your generation. It signifies authority and where you demonstrate your uniqueness from society. It is an innovative energy that correlates to new technology; as it was discovered during the Industrial Revolution. There is a sense of unpredictability with Uranus, you can never really know the next move of this planetary energy. Future oriented, the placement it is in makes you seek novelty and carve a new path towards innovation. There’s an intellectual aspect to Uranus often seen as foreign knowledge, like an alien understanding of information.

Neptune: This is the planet of illusion and idealized dreams. Neptune shows us that everything is not what it seems. That oftentimes we create a collective fantasy. This fantasy is one that a generation may share based on the sign Neptune is in. In our charts, it can signify where we are often deluded and lose a sense of reality. Confusion is a significant theme for Neptune as even its discovery was covered in mystery. The waters of Neptune can be very dreamy and surreal. You can often get shrouded in a false sense of self in the house Neptune sits in. You may get a lot of confusion on what to do and how to properly maneuver through. It’s important to be cautious about leaning into false illusions and move with sensibility in the regards to your Neptune. However, intuition is also an essential component of navigating the waters of Neptune, you have to somewhat feel your way through.

Pluto: One of the smallest planets, but with the most influential amount of power. Pluto shows us that true power does not lie in size, but rather influence and impact. The significance of Pluto comes from its association with our unconscious shadows. The sign Pluto transits in shows us what in our time do we idealize and give a lot of power to. Later on, this will be ultimately destroyed and transformed. Pluto is the underworld, so it shows the underlying fear we collectively have surrounding the placement of that sign. It is also a planet of corruption as the things we give significant importance to often have hidden shadows. Where Pluto sits in our chart, we often see the hidden nature and the evil ways this placement can have an impact our lives. Pluto shows us that death is not a ending, but a beginning into something new. It is important to not let fear sabotage you in the house that this planet sits in. Instead alchemize it into strength for yourself, seeing where you can influence the world around you.

Hi dear donors ! ❤️

I would like to extend my thank and gratitude for the support you have been offering over the last eleven months. ❤️☺️

My family and I have been suffering and going through the hardest days we have ever experienced in our life . Things are very hard to get and and sometimes unattainable.😭😓

Our sufferings and hardship started on the first days of the war when all our possessions were completely destroyed and burned. We have become displaced and homeless , finding ourselves in a small tent in streets with no means of life. We lack every single necessary thing of life; food, water, hygiene essentials, and other necessities have become scarce and rare.

A photo taken to show how incredibly harsh our life has become after the war. We are struggling and facing lots of barriers to obtain the simplest necessities for living. Everything single thing is a complete story.

You can't imagine what difficulties we have been going through all these days of war. No cooking gas , nor cooking tools exist . We struggle to prepare a small meal of food.

No bakeries are available. Everything seems a miracle and unbelievable.😭 The war has stolen our joy and smile, leaving us busy thinking only of staying safe and alive. Our future has gone with the wind and our kids lost their dreams and ambitions.

This is a part of burying the dead. We also face some problems in the process of buying our dead people as no place is there for the family. Tombs aren't enough for the number of people living on a small spot of land.

A photo taken for the morning queue of filling our gallons with drink water. We wait hours to get some water for drink. Our life is full of tragedy and sadness.

All what we need is to survive the war and be safe. We are trying to secure the daily basic living necessities and this can come true with your contribution and support. Please don't spare this moment of supporting the people in need in Gaza in this tough and dire time. You can help us by either donating however small it is or sharing my posts. Your support makes a big difference for families in need

i think we gotta be more careful about falling into the trap of placing heaps of blame on the most vulnerable groups around us because it’s easier, emotionally or otherwise, than going after those in power. like i mostly talk about transandrophobia right now and how transmascs get so much shit thrown at us because were easier to attack than cis people, and i’ve seen people do the same thing to transfems and NBs too. to me it’s extra disappointing when it’s someone who is vocally supportive of transmascs doing it (like generalizing all transfems as being hostile to transmascs/being transandrophobic). it’s of course important to talk about inter community issues and point out harmful behaviors and ideologies when we see them, and talk about how someone’s life experience might lead them to be that way, but singling out one type of trans person as The Culprit is not helpful and just feels like it further drives a wedge into our community. we may be able to perpetuate aspects of the transphobic systems cis people put in place, but none of us are responsible for them and we don’t benefit from them, past surface level “acceptance” from people who’d be more comfortable if one type of trans person or all of us didn’t exist at all

Hi! We're a trans system with a complicated relationship to gender!! For short we usually call ourseleves transmasc and genderfluid but we actually hoard a lot of microlables and xenogenders that describe us best.

Because of how varied our insys genders are it makes having a binary or "solid" collective gender really hard, which leads us to lean into more unconventional terms or terms that are the equivalent of "man idk, yes? no? what are you, a cop?" or that are like "changes based on xyz" since that's a subtle way for us to express our plurality without being direct about it

We usually find that aesthetics and concepts describe our collective gender better than actual gendered terms since there are so many vast experiences that can fall under an aesthetic or concept where a lot of genders are hyperspecific to a certain experience or understanding of something and we've got waaay too many people to classify ourselves with just one experience of something

Though we also will call ourselves libramasculine if someone is dead set on getting one specific gender out of us since we do lean masc but also not everyones gender is male or even exists and a lot of times we don't know so using the agender umbrella is helpful for a quick explanation

We mostly focus on headmate specific identities but a lot of our headmate's also have complicated relationships with gender even outside of relating to plurality so sometimes that answer is even more convoluted than our collective one

Sorry this is a lot of rambling, don't know if this means anything to you or anyone else but!! :)

DID is fucking with my gender rlly bad and my friend said I should reach out so. Trans systems with complicated genders reblog so I know ur out there???

I would love to hear ur experiences bc I’m getting my ass kicked by gender

Don't be afraid of being the trans person who's "the reason transphobia exists." It's genuinely so infuriating how people weaponize the existence transphobia to accuse people (even facetiously/as a joke!) of being the genesis of it.

[shr0mwzrd]

I'm convinced by the way y'all are acting about it that these alleged AFAB transfems don't exist outside your brains - like all y'all are just vaguing and pearl clutching without mentioning or linking to a single instance of this alleged atrocity. Even if they did exist, just block them and be normal for fucks sake. I'm so fucking tired of seeing these same bullshit takes over and over, especially from nominally leftist queers...do better

Little Solas interruption caused by Kafka (I've owed threads for a while, shh) for just a minute. Any way, I turned on her playlist, and it went to one of its newest additions, which is Barbara Pravi's cover of Claude François' 'Comme d'habitude' (yes, you may know it as 'My Way', which in sound is much more something she would listen to, but this is the playlist for me, hers is separate). And I sit here during moments like these, realizing just how different my approach to Kafka really is in comparison to the popular 'consensus', and I wonder if I'm just crazy, but no— I really believe that she's 'softer' than what people believe her to be, and I don't know why everyone continues viewing her as some dominatrix, or as dominant as they portray her. I'm not saying she's 'soft', but I think she's incredibly nuanced, an old-school romantic, if you will. I'll just be sitting here with my lady from a bygone era, who will listen to old records on her gramophone, and is almost dictated by curiosity, but most certainly by longing.

This post makes a seriously great point about how you shouldn't be chasing the bag and acting like a temporarily embarassed millionaire, but why the disdain for people afraid of the future? In an era where fascists are winning in government and business, both working in tandem to make the world an even more hostile for oppressed minorities, some of which are being subject to a literal genocide, how does anyone not look at the future with anything other than horror? Change may be inevitable, but not all change is inherently good. Just look at the impoverished and reactionary state any post-Soviet for just an example.

What tools does someone who isn't some variety of bourgeoisie even have to change the future? The idea that the proletariat has ever been able to liberate itself without help from allies from classes with more power and exercisable autonomy than us is about as ahistorical as the idea that there has ever been a "self-made" artist that wasn't either boosted by bourgeois wealth or just insanely lucky. The fact of the matter is, we are a disempowered class no matter how much bourgeois democratic propaganda tells us we can totally make a difference by voting and sending letters, and without a more powerful ally,we're helpeless against bourgeoisie rulers who reactionary in every sense of the word save for "progress" that only serves to preserve capitalism.

We can't retvrn to a past that never even existed in the first place, andindividualist greed is a short-sighted and self-destructive goal. We also cannot delude ourselves into thinking the future will be perfectly fine without someone intervening to ensure it benefits anyone other than the ruling class.

clinging to the sinking ship of the artisan class because one is terrified of being proletarianized is a dead-end project. it's not going to work. you're not going to be able to succeed as an "independent artist" or whatever fantastical creature you've imagined is the primary form of "the artist" in the current historical moment. the "independent artist" is dead and aspiring towards sustainable self-sufficiency as an "independent artist" is not only foolish but utterly ahistorical. you people have been far too credulous about the silken lies that capital whispered to you about meritocracy and following your dreams. follow-your-dreams culture is a lie. it is bootstraps theory for hazbin hotel fanartists. meritocracy does not exist. instead of weeping about it, let go of the frivolous aspiration towards "independent artisanship." a select few may be lucky enough to make a living as "independent artists" and this has almost everything to do with sheer luck and chance and almost nothing to do with "merit." Follow-Your-Dreams Culture is a form of historical reaction. you cannot turn back the clock. the past is gone and dead. will you face the future without nostalgia, unhampered by petty sentimentalities and selfish aspirations? will you march bravely into the future armed with the tools to change it? or will you die like a fucking dog?

[goldengodcannibal]

my concept and general existence of gender doesn't exist but i'll watch or see something that just roots me firmly in loving being a gay man
