Interfaith Harmony: Ganesha, the Universal Remover of Obstacles
There is an ancient story, older than memory, that speaks of a gentle presence who stands at the threshold of each journey. He is called Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. In Hindu tradition, he is worshipped as a friend and guardian of beginnings, an embodiment of wisdom and gentle strength. His form is unmistakable—an elephant head, eyes deep with understanding, a body both round and rooted, as…

JORDAN PETERSON: MESSAGE TO MUSLIMS
Nobody:
Jordan Peterson to Muslims: So how about we quit squabbling over trinkets and details?
This man's PSAs for the Daily Wire never fail to offer at least one truly unhinged moment. That said, Peterson is making an effort here to bridge religious communities and open up communication between them. I may not agree with this Big-Daddy-Has-Spoken attitude, nor the subtle implication that only Muslims need to do the inner work of overcoming the "satanic" hatred of others--But, there is something interesting about the need Peterson places on the preservation of religious communities in an increasingly scientific-sectarian world.
This excites me in as much as it complicates Western hegemony, and demands space for many ways of being to co-exist. Which, in order to work requires a higher level of intelligence, collaboration, creativity, humanity, and spirit. A true challenge of our world in an equitable future is how do we really practice being a global community without forcing "peace" by making every country the same.
I may be giving Peterson far too much credit. His main motive might be, in fact, to bolster allies against liberally progessive intellectuals. Whatever the reason, its interesting nonetheless, especially if these communities do start respectfully co-existing...And even more radical, supporting one another to some extent.

they literally are so real though. God of light is like “hey your wife killed a whole load of people and if you go hang out with her you will Not have a good time” and the first thing she says to him is “what if we took over the world by violent force and installed ourselves as the gods of the world” and he goes “ok :)”. and hes right.
[INCORRECT BUZZER]
->HE SAYS<- "hi i'm back. anyway apropos nothing i want to unite the world under one banner. for. um. undisclosed reasons". and SHE says "ok :)" <- their actual conflict has very little to do with this*
the thing he has a problem with (and which ultimately tears the rift between them) is her religious stance, because she is an unyielding apostate and he is on a mission from the joker of gods. and he spends his life guiltily withholding that information from her, because if she knew this was a mission from the joker of gods, she wouldn't be helping him do it
anyway ozma's sudden wish inherently carries violence with it and salem is smart enough to understand that and articulate it back to him. religiosity aside, they are on the same page about that; there is no world where "making the entire world bow to the same worldview/ruler/ideology/(sotto voce: and religion)" does not imply violent conquest of existing nations and cultures. she makes clear to him what needs to happen for him to get what he wants, and that she is willing to do it with him, and he's like "epic, i love my cool wife. let's not discuss religion at the dinner table 😬"
violent conquest was not even remotely on salem's itinerary but it is what he's suddenly talking about post-reincarnation, and she's willing to do it with him. SHE said "ok :)". We're All In This Together ❤️
but yea they're so real. i wish them a very merry "soulmates being twisted and used against each other so severely that they can no longer recognize each other's hearts". and a happy new year
#*it turned out he couldnt like slow-boil her back into getting religious and they turbodivorced largely on those grounds#he's squeamish about knowing deep down that he's doing something deplorable re: the war conquests. because he is. they are. ♥#but he does know salem's assessment of the steps it would take to achieve *his stated mission* is not just accurate but part and parcel#because he finally IS like “okay okay ill unleash super violence to brute force ~unity~. stop fighting” like 80 yrs before the show starts#^like this is not something they disagree about. and he actually did Commit To finishing it with violence . just much much later

hi i just found your blog and its making me very emo 😭 i grew up in appalachia (the shenandoah valley in VA near the WV border) but had to move away several years ago to central VA, and then even further away last year to the rural midwest. i've been really strongly missing appalachia for the past year, but esp so these past couple months.
i miss the people and community, the spoonbread or chicken and dumplings my mom used to make me when i was sick, the mountains surrounding you on every side, being off in the woods with no one around, picking wild blackberries with my best friend, speeding around twisty roads blasting music with all the windows down, picking and eating the wild honeysuckle growing along my back fence, all the bluegrass and folk music, hearing people's accents, the pennsylvania smartweed that would grow under my porch, looking up at the night sky at night and being able to see the entire milky way, the crick i would cross when i walked to school, etc etc etc.
i think the thing i miss the most is the lgbt community. yeah we were small and there was a lot of lgbtphobia, but we were really closeknit, and i was involved w a lot of lgbt activism in my area. city and suburbanite gays just all have such vastly different experiences than me and everyone i grew up with, i always just end up feeling really isolated around them.
also i don't think people not from appalachia understand just how connected to the land we are. its not just about "oh i like hiking" or "i think the mountains are pretty" or something like that. the land is a part of me and i'm a part of it. we're tied to eachother. and that's not even getting into the communal aspect of being appalachian.
i desperately want to move back to appalachia, but i probably won't be able to for at least 4 or 5 years and it makes me really depressed. being away feels like part of my soul is missing. however i don't think i'll be able to move back to the exact area that i'm from, both bc i'm jewish and have gotten more involved w that since growing up and wanna live in an area w at least a small jewish community, and bc my hometown is almost unrecognizable now from all of the people moving in from northern VA and building fancy sitdown restraunts and shit on main street. i remember before we even had a walmart or a target and had to drive to the closest city 45mins away if we needed to get anything more than basic groceries.
anyways this is really long and rambly, but i just wanted to say it was really nice to see someone talking about appalachia and posting pictures of it, it made me feel less alone 💛
.
#yall come back now queue hear?#love letters to appalachia#tales from the holler#presented with no comment except in the tags etc etc#hoooo boy i could have written every word of this!! change a few place names around and i feel this in my entire soul#especially about the closeknit queer communities and our unity with the land#i know its not the same but ofc there is always a place for you in appalachia even if it isnt your exact hometown#i was recommended the podcast 'the bluegrass schmooze' by a jewish mutual of mine that you might be interested in#they're from kentucky iirc and their religious perspective is so interesting#thanks so much for being here <3#asks#virginia

hehehe hohoho I've missed Stellaris so much
#stellaris#im playing a religious dictatorship of aquatic people who have a wonderful ocean world and are fishermen#will be speccing them later to get the catalytic converter civic so they produce alloy out of food instead of minerals#hence the soup basked world#and cranking out massive unity

One of the main principles of anarchism is Means-End unity.
Put simply, Means-End Unity is the concept that the world we want to make can only be made by living to the values of that world.
If you want a world of kindness, you must be kind.
If you want a world where everything is held in common, you must hold things in common.
If you want a world where every need is met, you must meet every need that you can, including your own.
This is in direct opposition to the “revolutionary procrastination” of other forms of leftism. The anarchist doesn’t wait for the mythical day of liberation, the anarchist liberates daily.
The only way to make the world we want come into being is for us to birth it ourselves, every single day, in every action we take.
Don’t wait. Start now. Maximize help. Reduce harm. Maximize joy.
Live within your values. If you can’t figure out how, then your values need more complexity and more information

Cw: Christianity, religious musings, homophobia
.
Throughout recent years, I've always believed Unity (or God) is present in every human I come across. It's always been empowering and comforting. I could find Unity anywhere and everywhere I go and I don't need a church. But I think it might partially be my downfall. Half of modern Christianity still hates my queer existence. Because I believe Unity exists in everyone, I may subconsciously believe the hateful messages from toxic Christians comes from Her as well. It's like They have a love/hate relationship with me like my mom did.
I don't want to throw away my belief in Imago Dei, but I think I need to find some way to separate people from Unity in a way that doesn't take away the sacred-ness of others. But how do I do that?
#religious trauma#lgbtq christian#religious musings#it could also be that somehow my brain still equates hateful bigot pastor with Unity#either way i still need to find a way to separate man from Unity so i can feel secure in Their love for me

Ramayana No. 14: Be Good, Do Good, Purify Your Mind: A Simple Reflection on the Ramayana’s Timeless Wisdom
In the vast expanse of spiritual literature, few texts carry the weight and significance of the Ramayana. This ancient epic, deeply embedded in Hindu culture, tells the story of Prince Rama, whose life is a testament to the principles of righteousness, duty, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. As we delve into its rich narrative, it’s easy to get caught up in the details of battles,…
