Creating Space for Clarity

Life can be fast. Life can be busy. Life can be distracting. But if you give yourself the chance to create space in your life—for your shifts and changes—you'll gradually experience more ease, integration, and expansion.

Photo by Rodrigo Souza on Pexels.com Life moves fast for many of us. So fast that sometimes the perspectives we have, ideas in our heads, or the weights that we carry aren’t even our own. I mentioned to a friend how vital it was for me to slow down and focus on my work. She says, “as long as it’s your work and not someone else’s [as a means to keep up with society].” I pause for a second to…

Is self-harm a way to move on to living in the radical truth? Do I have to imagine the harsh reality? dream what is self-destruction or destruction? as a way of destroying the peace that I may feel, because perhaps I am not considering that to achieve it I had to overcome a couple of things that made me lose it and today they no longer have power over me, but perhaps that means that I am only in my comfort zone and the situations that tear down the pillars that hold this peace are out there somewhere waiting for me to stumble upon them to test myself once more and the difficulty increasing or decreasing to see what I'm made of (but I could also be that I ignore the difficulty that is presented to me in fear and I am really out of the game out of fear and do not understand due to inexperience) what is self-deception based on? How do I know who I really am at this moment? what is the radical truth? how to start living in it? Why is it necessary for a radical truth to go through all the lenses of self-deception, but to acquire it, perhaps it is necessary to go through experiences or would it be a lens of radical truth just like those of self-deception? I want to make it clear that all this writing is just a perspective, and not a behavior that I like or want to exhibit, I'm just curious about the response I may get. a test part. I don't like what it transmits either. but since the issue of radical truth was raised this part interprets ''radical truth'' in a way and I know that an answer from you can help him correct his thinking or perspective. sounds desperate but it is because he is desperate to save his soul. reveals its truth

Is self-harm a way to move on to living in the radical truth?

It can be! Some of us learn through pain. By self harm I generally mean like cutting or inflicting flesh wounds but we also can harm ourselves in other ways. Making harmful choices sometimes leads to growth and understanding. You can choose to not learn that way after you’ve mastered the lessons that needed to be learnt that way.

Do I have to imagine the harsh reality? dream what is self-destruction or destruction?

Not sure fully what this is asking, but no?

But perhaps that means that I am only in my comfort zone and the situations that tear down the pillars that hold this peace are out there somewhere waiting for me to stumble upon them to test myself once more

Peace and feeling challenged aren’t necessarily opposite. You can be in a peaceful place in life and still experience challenges. It’s more about how those challenges make you feel. When you find peace, challenges don’t cause as much stress as they did before, at least thats what I’ve found.

what is self-deception based on?

It’s based on needing to survive. It’s not always safe to live in our truest selves and so we may lie to ourselves like so and so will judge me so we don’t engage in behavior we think may isolate us from the group. That’s just one example.

How do I know who I really am at this moment?

It’s not about who you are as much as the energy you’re in.

what is the radical truth? how to start living in it?

Truth is changing and not this like stagnant thing, you live in your truth moment to moment when you choose presence.

Why is it necessary for a radical truth to go through all the lenses of self-deception, but to acquire it, perhaps it is necessary to go through experiences or would it be a lens of radical truth just like those of self-deception?

Truth is something you learn. Like love, you have to learn what your truth is by having experiences that give you perspective, that’s why I want to experience so much. You gain different perspectives and vantage points that better enable you to see the whole picture. Or at least more of it.

I hope I did a good job of explaining this and that it makes sense!

(I know it's not good for me but) I've taken a mild interest in the terfs of tumblr because I just want to be educated on what kind of bullshit and misinformation they're using to argue their bigoted opinions. Almost across the board it seems like these people have such a 2 dimension understanding of feminism.

I feel like the closest thing I can compare it to is generational politics. It's pretty easy to be like "oh those selfish rich boomers ruined the planet" but fact of the matter is there's poor and impoverished boomers who've suffered under the hands of capitalism so all that does is alienate you from potential allies in the class war. Likewise these self proclaimed "radical feminists" operate on flawed logic that "all men are violent and profit from the patriarchy" while there are gay and gnc men, as well as trans men and women who get punished by their peers for not performing masculinity/femininity well enough.

What these have in common is that people generalize complex issues into black and white terms, thereby alienating people who have experiences in common and could serve as worthy allies. The TERF reframe feminism not as equality between genders but as female supremacy. There lies the flaw, because of it they'd inevitably become nothing more than new oppressors with nothing about the way we run society having fundamentally changed. The ruling class will always find little ways to distract us with stupid infighting, if people would stop falling for it that would be brilliant. Trans people aren't your enemies. You have more in common with an average trans woman than a billionaire who wrote a wizard school book series as she cosplayed being poor while relatives paid her bills.

I fucking hate being a woman with masculine interests. My options for friends are:

-Guys who will always end up asking me out and throwing a fit when I say no. Best case scenario they never speak to me again (as opposed to me needing to get a restraining order).

-Women who I have no interests in common with. We can hang out and relate to each other but ultimately everything they like is lost on me. I’ll totally go to a Sabrina Carpenter concert with you but I genuinely have never heard her music before and only vaguely know who she is. I don’t do nail salons I don’t wear makeup or do skincare.

-Lastly, female people who have all the same interests as me, but identify as trans and continually insist I must also be trans because women can’t have short hair and wear pants and like Star Wars. They refuse to call me she/her and repeatedly ask if I’m planning on taking T or getting top surgery, no matter how much I say I’m just a woman.

But if I say how different and othered I feel, if I ever voice being on the margins for being a woman who doesn’t present traditionally feminine, I’m instantly called a pick-me, even though I would never put down another woman for being feminine. So what am I supposed to do

the same idiots who a few months ago didn't shut up about how poorly treated LGBTQI+ people were in Muslim countries to own pro Palestians Liberals (gay marriage banned/gender conversion therapy forbidden etc.) and said they'd literally be killed if they stepped one foot out there, now want to make us believe that one of them sent a trans athlete to participate in the most coveited sport championship in the world

Yup, checks out

A core aspect of Luciferianism is educating oneself on how systemic issues contribute to oppression. Here’s an essay I wrote for my local grassroots police abolitionist collective (@WallsDownCollective , @Stopthestackyyc on Instagram) about how the legal system uses psychological warfare to control and oppress its citizens:

The Canadian Legal System Acts as a Form of Psychological Warfare Against Society's Most Vulnerable Undesirables

By Thrashkink_art , Thrashkink_coven

The Canadian legal system mirrors psychological warfare tactics in its treatment of marginalized populations, particularly the unhoused, Indigenous peoples, and racialized communities. Psychological warfare is defined as the strategic use of fear, intimidation, and disinformation to manipulate and control behavior, breaking down the mental defenses of targeted groups. In many ways, the Canadian legal system engages in similar practices, creating a constant state of fear, confusion, and helplessness for society's most vulnerable undesirables, which aligns with the psychological aspects of torture as defined under Canadian law and international frameworks like the UN Convention Against Torture (UNCAT).

According to Section 269.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada, torture is defined as:

> Any act or omission by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for purposes such as obtaining information or confession, punishing them for an act they or someone else has committed, or intimidating or coercing them.

This definition aligns with the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCAT), which Canada ratified in 1987. Under UNCAT, torture is described as:

> Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for purposes such as obtaining information, a confession, punishment, intimidation, or for reasons based on discrimination, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or with the consent of a public official.

The mental suffering aspect of torture is significant in Canadian law, given that psychological harm can be as debilitating as physical harm. Psychological torture can include methods such as:

- Restriction from basic necessities or functions like food or sleep

- Threats of violence against the person or their family

- Isolation or solitary confinement

- Humiliation or degradation

- Sensory deprivation or sensory overload

Psychological warfare (PsyOps), while more associated with military operations, involves using tactics deliberately designed to manipulate emotions, motives, and behavior of enemy governments, groups, or populations through fear, intimidation, or misinformation. Psychological warfare aims to demoralize the enemy, break their will to fight or resist, or influence public perception for the purpose of domination.

These tactics can include:

- Disinformation and propaganda campaigns

- Fear-inducing threats or displays of power

- Misinformation to undermine morale

- Intimidation tactics aimed at creating confusion or dissent

By its own definitions, the Canadian government has repeatedly used psychological warfare against Indigenous peoples, other nations, and its own citizens. Here are just a few notable examples:

Forced Assimilation of Indigenous Peoples through Residential Schools and “adoption” programs

The “Indian Residential School System” and “The Sixties Scoop” separated Indigenous children from their families, erasing their languages, cultures, and identities. This systemic abuse aimed to replace Indigenous identity with Euro-Canadian values, leaving a lasting legacy of trauma and cultural loss.

2. The “Indian Act" and Ongoing Control of Indigenous Peoples (1876-Present)

The Indian Act is a longstanding policy used to control nearly every aspect of Indigenous life in Canada. This paternalistic system restricts land, governance, and identity, causing generations of psychological harm. By undermining self-determination and imposing Western legal structures, it fosters dependency and marginalization in Indigenous communities.

3. The Oka Crisis (1990) and Ongoing Environmental and Resource Development Conflicts with Indigenous Communities

The Canadian government and military used psychological tactics to intimidate Mohawk protesters defending sacred land. Media portrayed them as violent and unreasonable, isolating them from public support and fueling fear around Indigenous sovereignty movements.

The Canadian government and corporations still use psychological tactics to portray Indigenous protesters as threats to economic stability. Through legal actions, disinformation, and surveillance, they aim to divide communities and undermine resistance through fear and intimidation.

4. Internment of Japanese Canadians During WWII

After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Canadian government interned thousands of Japanese Canadians, seizing their property without consent. This fostered fear, suspicion, and isolation, creating a lasting sense of powerlessness.

5. Cold War Surveillance and Propaganda (1950s-1980s)

Canada spread fear of communist infiltration through propaganda and covert operations. Working with U.S. agencies, the government used media, speeches, and surveillance to manipulate public opinion, target left-wing socialist groups, and foster loyalty to the state.

6. “Anti-Terrorism” Policies Post-9/11

Canada enacted anti-terrorism laws that increased airport surveillance and profiling of Muslim Canadians and immigrants, fostering fear and suspicion. The wrongful arrest and torture of Maher Arar exposed the profound psychological harm these policies inflicted on individuals and entire communities.

7. Project MKULTRA: Canadian Collaboration with CIA (1950s-1960s)

Canada, through the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal under Dr. Ewen Cameron, participated in MKULTRA, a CIA mind control program (yeah, seriously). Patients were subjected to brutal experiments like sensory deprivation and drug-induced comas, causing lasting psychological trauma and personality disorders.

If the Government has been capable of committing such atrocities in the past, there is no reason to assume they could not repeat these actions in the present. Despite the pretense that such tactics are behind and beneath them, the Canadian Government continues its use of psychological warfare today—and it’s being used against all of us.

Canada's legal framework is rooted in the imperialist systems of English and French colonization. The adoption of British common law and French civil law created a legal environment that prioritized colonial interests over those of Indigenous nations, reinforcing a hierarchy that placed European settlers at the top. This system continues to prioritize the protection of capital over the well-being of the people, law enforcement serves the interests of the privileged few rather than the broader community.

A lack of affordable housing and support services means that individuals have nowhere to turn when they face financial hardship, forcing many into criminalized survival tactics like squatting. The legal system's criminalization of homelessness through bylaws that punish basic survival activities like sleeping in public, loitering, or panhandling mimics psychological warfare tactics by using constant threat and intimidation to control behavior. These laws lead to fines, arrests, and further entanglement within the legal system, making it nearly impossible for individuals ticketed for minor infractions to escape the cycle of homelessness. For someone experiencing homelessness, even a minor fine can be life ruining. Failure to pay these fines can lead to additional legal penalties, including warrants, increased fines, wage garnishments, loss of driving privileges, or even incarceration, contributing to systemic marginalization. Law enforcement is often concentrated in areas with high populations of marginalized individuals, leading to increased surveillance and policing of homeless people and those struggling with addiction.

Canada has historically underfunded mental health services and addiction treatment, leaving many without necessary support. As a result, individuals turn to substances as a coping mechanism. This is systematic entrapment. By arresting individuals for drug use or possession rather than providing treatment, the legal system fails to recognize addiction as a complex health issue that requires compassion, understanding, and comprehensive support rather than punishment.

Encampment raids intentionally prey on homeless individuals, many of whom are dealing with addiction and mental health issues as a psychological manipulation tactic—disrupting the only semblance of community or safety that unhoused people may have, leaving them more isolated, vulnerable, and afraid with nowhere to go. The destruction of shelters and personal belongings during these raids serves not only to enforce legal compliance but also to demoralize individuals and instill trauma, contributing to mental suffering and despair and enforcing the idea that there is no safe place for them to reside. The unpredictability of these raids creates a state of constant fear and sleep deprivation, pushing people to hide in more dangerous locations and stripping them of their autonomy. Rather than offering support, law enforcement criminalizes their circumstances, effectively using fear and violence to maintain control—methods reminiscent of psychological warfare. This increases vulnerability to violence and exploitation, while framing unhoused people as criminals rather than victims of systemic failure. This stigma prevents public empathy and keeps the cycle of isolation and marginalization intact.

For racialized communities, particularly Black and Indigenous people, the legal system becomes a tool of surveillance, over-policing, and wrongful criminalization. The criminalization of drug offenses disproportionately impacts these communities, with predatory laws and wrongful convictions fueling cycles of poverty, unemployment, and legal entanglement.

The legal process itself becomes a form of psychological warfare, especially for individuals unfamiliar with legal jargon or unable to afford proper representation. Individuals with mental health issues often struggle with conditions that make it difficult to manage daily responsibilities, including remembering court dates or understanding legal proceedings. This lack of support can lead to missed appearances, resulting in additional charges or penalties. Unhoused people often lack access to basic resources such as stable housing, transportation, and reliable communication. Without a permanent address or means of transportation, getting to court on time becomes a significant obstacle. Without access to phones or mail, receiving important notifications about court dates is not possible. Entrapment is a large part of the process of psychological warfare.

Even with Legal Aid and payment plans, the imposition of fines and legal penalties can create a financial burden that may take years or even decades to pay off. This leads to a cycle of accumulating debt, where unpaid fines incur additional interest, late fees, or legal costs, compounding financial burden over time. This debt can become a source of significant stress and anxiety, further impacting mental health, stability, and the ability to navigate complex legal battles with sound mind.

Encounters with police can lead to criminal records that hinder future opportunities. Securing stable employment is significantly harder for those with criminal records, forcing them into lower-paying, unstable jobs that make it hard to keep up with financial obligations. The prolonged burden of fines can divert essential resources away from basic needs like housing, food, and healthcare. Individuals find themselves prioritizing debt repayment over their well-being, leading to detrimental effects on their health and stability. With a significant portion of income directed toward paying off fines, it becomes nearly impossible to save for future goals, such as education, home ownership, or starting a business. This stagnation in economic mobility perpetuates cycles of poverty, further entrenching individuals in financial hardship. The effects of prolonged debt from fines extends beyond the individual. Families also bear the burden of financial instability, leading to decreased opportunities for children and perpetuating cycles of disadvantage across generations. Those facing homelessness also run the risk of losing custody of their children, further exasperating mental distress. Vulnerable people may withdraw from personal relationships out of fear that their legal troubles will negatively affect those around them, leading to further isolation. The stress associated with long-term debt and legal obligations contributes to mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.

If you’re sick, cold, hungry, and scared all the time, do you really have the ability to make informed decisions about complex legal situations?

The prolonged nature of extended court proceedings, fines, and legal entanglements leave vulnerable people in a constant state of anxiety and uncertainty, leading to chronic stress, affecting mental health and destabilizing morale. The psychological toll of enduring long court proceedings accumulates over time. As individuals face repeated delays, continuances, and rescheduled hearings, the emotional weight of their situation can become overwhelming. Legal delays are used as psychological tactics to wear down individuals, making them more likely to accept plea deals or coerced confessions just to escape the process. This method of mental exhaustion mirrors classic psychological torture tactics, where prolonged stress and uncertainty break down an individual's resistance . The pressure to resolve a case quickly, even at the expense of a fair outcome, leads vulnerable people to make decisions they wouldn’t have otherwise considered. While some strong people can attempt to build resilience in the face of these challenges, the overwhelming repeated stress of prolonged court proceedings over multiple years can wear down even the most resilient individuals, leading to burnout and submission.

The worst part of this entire situation is that you don’t have to break the law to find yourself within it. This can happen to you at any time. People who are falsely accused of crimes have no choice but to navigate the complexities of the legal system. The burden of proof rests heavily on the accused to demonstrate their innocence. This process can be lengthy and exhausting, consuming significant time, money, and emotional energy, even if they are ultimately exonerated. Many must engage with law enforcement, endure court appearances, and deal with the repercussions of being labeled a criminal, often without any compensation for the emotional, psychological, and financial toll of their ordeal, leaving individuals struggling with debt, job loss, and PTSD.

This is particularly devastating, for marginalized and racialized communities. Systemic racism within the legal system results in wrongful arrests and disproportionate punishment of Black and Indigenous individuals, targeting those already struggling under oppressive societal structures. Black and Chinese men were disproportionately targeted by Canada's anti-drug policies, which framed them as immoral degenerates and societal threats. 80% of cannabis-related criminal offenses in Canada were for possession. Since legalization, fewer than 400 Canadians have been pardoned for past possession charges (as of 2021), despite an estimated 10,000 eligible for relief. Cannabis laws disproportionately targeted racialized and Indigenous communities and those with lower incomes. This situation effectively subjects them to a form of legal slavery, while the Canadian government now profits from a multi-billion-dollar industry. Systemic racism within the legal system contributes to the over-policing of these communities, increasing the likelihood of wrongful charges.

The appeal process is slow, complex, and broken. Individuals seeking to overturn wrongful convictions must navigate a convoluted system that prioritizes procedural technicalities over justice. Delays can stretch for years, leaving innocent people in limbo while their lives are effectively put on hold. Likewise, those who have been victimized often avoid seeking justice out of fear of having to repeatedly relive their trauma through years long, expensive, legal interactions with their abuser.

If you are victimized by a law enforcement officer, seeking justice through the legal system can be life threatening. Police violence, harassment, and gang stalking (where individuals are constantly monitored and harassed by members of police) create an environment of paranoia, leading to mental health issues like PTSD and depression. People avoid participating in protests or speaking out against police misconduct if they believe that police will respond with violence or heavy-handed charges. When laws are used to target dissenters, people are forced to weigh the risks of speaking up against potential legal repercussions, physical violence, or death by execution via police. People are led to believe that reporting is futile or too dangerous. Experiences with law enforcement and the criminal justice system are often traumatic, vulnerable people who have faced arrest often develop PTSD and other trauma-related conditions and injuries as a direct result. This psychological toll suppresses dissent, making it nearly impossible for grassroots organizations to mobilize and advocate for themselves. This undermines their right to free expression and assembly and dissuades individuals from exercising their rights or making any attempt to challenge the legal system or its abuses, perpetuating a cycle of silence and oppression that leaves vulnerable communities even more isolated.

The Canadian legal system enforces a system of punishment and control that mirrors the psychological tactics used in military operations. This deliberate use of psychological pressure ensures that the most vulnerable remain trapped within the system, unable to escape or challenge the structures that oppress them. It systematically uses fear, confusion, abuse, and intimidation to control vulnerable groups, suppress dissent, and maintain societal hierarchies. The system perpetuates cycles of isolation, poverty, and trauma whilst providing no alternatives or escape. The purpose of this form of psychological warfare is to push vulnerable people into greater compromising situations until the inevitable result incarceration or death, either by police violence, prolonged health complications, or suicide. This system is not only predatory, but inherently dangerous.

Mutual aid and collective support is the only way to effectively reduce our reliance on this predatory system. By the simple act of taking care of eachother, communities can develop self-sufficient, resilient networks that provide essential services without relying on exploitative government mechanisms. When individuals know they can rely on their community for assistance—whether through direct support or shared resources—it cultivates a sense of belonging and collective responsibility. This resilience is crucial in times of crisis. When communities are united, they can challenge oppressive systems more effectively, creating a collective voice that demands accountability and ensures that no one is left behind.

Thank you for reading.

ok nvm i'll elaborate right now

i think one of the many weird choices in the finale was to make belos possess raine out of all people. one, because it really comes out of the blue. when has belos ever shown any interest of raine? like, i'm sure he must be aware of raine's record of plotting against the establishment, but he never deals with them himself. instead he sends a plethora of other people to do it for him (darius, eberwolf, kikimora, terra). if anything, it is terra that has a bone to pick with them. and in a parallel work where raine got more to do, i believe terra and raine's dynamic would've been something really interesting to explore. kinda like the relationship between atreus and odin in GOW ragnarok, like this "okay i know you hate me and all that i stand for, but i see potential in you so i'll take you under my wing and prove to you that i am worth of your time and loyalty" kinda thing, which is a banger dynamic btw.

but the second part is that there are two way more attractive options. the first one, immediately on demand, is darius. ofc it would take some canon time of developing that dynamic between belos and darius (it pains me that it doesn't exist), but it would make sense that belos would keep a close eye on darius. after all, he was mentored and was a good friend of the previous golden guard, and it's implied in various scenes (mostly ASIAS) that he knows enough about hunter's "ancestors" to praise him when he doesn't follow orders, and ultimately play the long-con to betray belos. he may even be aware in some sense of belos killing the previous golden guard, or even the existence of the grimwalkers. in that case, it would make sense that belos would have built some resentment towards him that ultimately shows in the choice to possess, corrupt and kill his puppeteer-ed body. but then, there's an even better option here, and a character that belos has hide a long-time resentment against: lilith.

look, if belos remembers luz from all those years ago, then he abso-fucking-lutely remembers lilith as well. and in a sense you can interpret the actions in canon as him trying to exert his personal vendetta against her: keep her close in the emperor's coven, trying to get her sister to join and get branded with a sigil with the promise that he'll cure her from her curse, all this while knowing that she would eventually betray him and join luz's side. we know belos kept her close for a reason and he knows the extent of her abilities, her history and relationship with eda, and her weaknesses as well. belos possessing lilith, then, would not only be the definitive "fuck you" to her, but could've also been an effective way to provoke eda emotionally and lead her to abandon her hideout to confront him. and honestly, from the way belos acts in that scene in FTF, his reaction to finding the best candidate to possess would make so much more sense if it was lilith and not raine.

but like, aren't lilith and raine just... insanely similar characters in the show's narrative? both are figures of eda's past, who loved each other sincerely back in simpler times, and through plot-related actions (raine's reason is much better narratively though, IMO) abandoned eda and joined the opposing side, climbing the ranks through their powerful abilities until becoming important figures in the coven circle. trying to think about the things i'd change in canon to make raeda a better couple involve making them go through similar plot beats that eda and lilith have gone through: an emotional, powerful moment where raine has to choose between their position of power and eda's wellbeing, actual tension between them (resentment and guilt from eda's side, frustration and confusion from raine's side), situations where they are forced to colaborate and their chemistry can still come through but still their dynamic is permeated by those lingering wounds... like, all of those things are stuff that already happened in canon, between eda and lilith. there's even that moment in king's tide where eda has the same somber moment with raine and lilith before executing their sabotage:

to me, it event seems like lilith got a lot of attention and development with eda in S1 and early S2 and then her character got sidelined when raine started to appear, and simultaneously: how raine's backstory and conflict of interest with eda are pretty much an afterthought but they still get to be a key player in the plot through late S2 and S3. i'm really sorry that economic character construction has to work this way, but that's how it is: you don't get to give eda a sister and a significant other and then make those two characters the same one. you have to commit to just one and integrate all aspects onto them.
