Warning: Ramble incoming
Here's what interests me in a potential Burning Spice redemption story, specifically the scenario in which Golden Cheese takes his Soul Jam away
First off, she can't... "Claim" it fully, she can't use its power, because she's not about Destruction, which is what his Soul Jam represents. Similarly to how Spice couldn't use her Soul Jam because he doesn't represent Abundance, and similarly to how Smoked Cheese could do fuck all with it other than ruining absolutely everything. There was a reason that the initial Soul Jams got split, and now that they are separated into their respective halves, the originals no longer exist and CAN'T exist.
So that's why if Goldie were to take Spice's Soul Jam, she'd have to store it somewhere. And I'm assuming that being far away from it weakens the connection, but then again Hollyberry was taking strolls around Beast-Yeast while her own Jam was sitting in her kingdom, so the connection is still there even when 1) the Soul Jam owners are far away and 2) they have weak spiritual connection to it (as in, each of the ancients had to reconnect with their respective lights to get their full power back).
What I'm getting at is that even if Golden Cheese takes Spice's Soul Jam and fucks off with it to the other side of Earthbread, it's not guaranteed that Spice will lose his connection with it and therefore immortality. So here's a logical continuation to this scenario.
He needs to stop representing Destruction.
If he no longer believes in his power and his worldviews, if he grows weak and gives up on everything, then his connection to his Soul Jam will weaken, he will lose his powers and then his immortality.
Another option is to destroy his Soul Jam, but 1) I'm not sure that's possible and 2) if Goldie wanted a trophy would she do this?? And if she wanted to spare Spice's life, destroying his Jam would be akin to indirectly killing him cuz he would lose immortality.
But anyway. How would you even go about making the Great Destroyer not represent Destruction anymore? With even a fraction of his power left, he'd still go after Goldie. He'd force someone to use spice magic to teleport him to Goldie's kingdom. If the Soul Jam is stored there, he'd gain his powers back just from being near it. I suppose we can introduce some sorta technology, like a barrier that blocks magic, which would prevent Spice from accessing his Soul Jam's power. But, if he's still connected to it, does that take away his immortality or what?
As long as he 1) believes in the "survival of the fittest" principle; 2) believes history repeats itself with no meaningful progression; 3) has no desire to give it a chance; 4) wants to fight Goldie and take her Jam; 5) believes that only destruction will distract him from boredom and probably 6) lots of other things, he still represents Destruction and therefore his Jam is still his. How to go about tormenting him enough to break that connection is beyond me. Heck, even if he kneels before Goldie and begs her to kill him, you can argue that's still his belief that destruction is the only way.
But i digress. I don't think that you need to think that deep for a fanfic. Cuz a fanfic is always a "what if" scenario based on what you want to see, not what would actually happen, and "what would actually happen" is subjective anyways, cuz this is a fictional story and those are inherently subjective.
I guess the conclusion of this ramble is that there's not a way, at least an easy one, where you could pull such a scenario off in a canon-compliant way. Cuz if you did, all of that ⬆️ would get in the way of the actual story you'd wanna tell. But mortal Burning Spice is too cool of an idea to not allow some creative liberties even if they're canon breaking but c'mon. Who cares about "canon" when you can have fanfic.
That's all from me, good night

Hi I finished 2.2’s quest FINALLY and man I really love Sunday's character so much. Spoilers for 2.2 ahead:
He grew up in an environment where he saw people get exploited by other for their own means. Hell in the confessional he sits in for you see how isolated he is in the Family outside of the Dreammaster and his sister, with that one Pepeshi merchant threatening him with pulling support if he didn't do what the merchant wanted. Sunday’s relationship with Penacony is like that analogy of living in a house that’s on fire for so long you don’t understand what it’s like to free of the blaze.
Everything he's tried to do to alleviate the suffering of those around him has been in vain in the end. Penacony is basically all he's know his whole life, unlike Robin, so much so that it's become a cage. HE'S the bird that tries to fly only to crash and die, so he’s stuck. The Dreammaster has taught him the cage is a good thing because in this cage, you’ll be taken care of by Ena in exchange for your autonomy. Autonomy is a fair price to pay for safety, right?
He truly does have good intentions, the intention of wanting to protect people who can’t protect themselves, but the way he goes about it is fundamentally corrupted because his view of the world is corrupted by the Family from the start. The Dreammaster calls him a little scholar when he’s a child and a child when he’s an adult. Sunday and Robin are nothing but a means to an end for the Dreammaster and Sunday knows it, so much so that he’s willing to sacrifice himself so Robin doesn’t have to take on this burden. He will always be the bird who takes on the burden of the cage so that his sister can enjoy flying free, especially if he can make it so that that freedom wont end with a hunter shooting her down. His life is ultimately worthless to him, only a tool to trade for Robin’s happiness.
In the end, he’s crashing to his death after he was too weak to fly freely, so Robin falls with him and hugs him because now it’s her turn to protect him, to help him fly so he doesn’t crash like the dove from their childhood. She is strong and he is weak but she will protect him because this world isn’t just a system of survival of the fittest and Penacony can be heal without the protection of a cage.
Honestly his entire arc feels like a spiritual journey of rediscovery, the beliefs he was raised with making him miserable and it leading to him breaking away from the institution that raised him, becoming disillusioned and finding his own relationship with a higher power through the love and support of those who actually care about him. I really do hope Sunday gets redeemed because so much of his mindset came from being raised in an unhealthy environment on top of being isolated from anyone else who could’ve helped him get out of it. Robin won’t let him fall like the morning star; she’s finally got her brother back.

Survival Of The Fittest
For those who are affected by Scorpio/8th house/12th house: scorpio rising/moon in scorpio/venus in scorpio/moon in 8th house/venus in 8th house/pluto in 1st house/pluto in 8th house/pluto in 12th house/12th lord in 8th house/7th lord in 8th house/8th lord in 7th house/inner planets in 8th house/Saturn in 8th house/Sun in 12th house
Tumblr media
The phrase 'Survival Of the Fittest' was coined by Herbert Spencer after he was inspired by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. Spencer drew parallels between his own economic theories and Darwin's biological theories and said "This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called 'natural selection', or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life." We, in astro community, can draw a similar parallel to the astrological theories that indicate a difficult emotional, psychological, mental, physical, fated and spiritual life. Even Carl Jung associated collective unconscious to the genetic memory that exists in all of humanity universally.
Survival of the fittest means that organisms that are better adapted to their environment are best suited to survive and successfully reproduce. It also explains how evolution occurs in species by means of natural selection of those traits that are better adapted to a given set of environmental conditions. We read all this in school textbooks and forget it all when we walk into the real world.
Having difficult 8th house/12th house placements is like the Sisyphean task when he was condemned to roll a boulder up a hill, only to have it fall near the top, forcing him to start over and over again. This is what it feels like to be battling the unknown, unseen, intangible psychic forces of the 8th and 12th houses that emerge in the awareness from time to time endlessly. You are stuck in a situation that you cannot explain in words so you seek answers in symbolism, esoteric, dreams, psychology, magic and otherworldly pursuits because your problems are simply not visible to the naked eyes.
Tumblr media
4. The paradox of life is that even though we are born with difficult life stories, the world does not have space for the weak, dependent, miserable. On one hand, this creates isolation, victim mentality, bitterness, "nobody understands me", "society is so insensitive to mental health issues". But on the other hand, we realize that we are just animals, some really smart animals that can think, write, civilize, earn money, reproduce, make laws, run the system, yet we are just animals in the hands of natural laws. The law of nature, therefore, is survival of the fittest, to become strong, adapt, improvise, improve, evolve, grow.
5. The point of this post is not laziness but exhaustion/victim mindset/bitterness/feeling left behind tendencies in native who had to spend a lot of times in healing, battling their psychological issues that appear invisible to the physical eyes and living with a sense of "what is wrong with me?"
6. To them, I just want to say that do not let the exhaustion tear you down. The environments of 8th and 12th houses are such emergency provoking, life threatening, dark, hidden, unknown, distant from physical life, invisible to naked eyes, emotionally draining and psychically charged. How you learn to accept your fate and live along with it is in your hands. I too had to come to terms with the constant ups and downs of my story, the sudden detours and catastrophe of my story, sometimes the sadistic undertones and stagnancy of my story, but in the end I realized that I was the saviour to my own fallen angel. Whether it is my past life karma, intergenerational karma or random allotment of fates, I would not live in bitterness and envy of those who have it easier, better and colourful. Learning to adapt to the environments of 8th and 12th houses is a real challenge, a very difficult one, not written in books but usually comes to knowedge intuitively and that is why it is so hard to understand and codify in language.
7. Finally, I do not have any advice or rulebook for 8th/12th housers, for each person has their own unique solution. I would just like to say that time is running out, you have already seen the theme of your life until now, be brave, pull yourself up and make peace with your traumatic memories. And maybe, find attract people who are also in a similar attitude as you. People who understand when you say "No I don't want to watch a movie right now, I want to journal some of my thoughts and emotions."

sundays philosophy explained very badly
and yes he seriously needs to go see a shrink.
!! spoilers for the 2.2 story quest!!
also hoyo is trying to be very subtle with the HI3 World Serpent reference.
first thing first, the positives. his ideology might be twisted but Sunday has never use his position of power to sabotage the opposing party (the backstabbing kind)(not that i know of💔). He seeks total dominance from a fair fight, ultimately to prove his beliefs superior.
Tumblr media
he never outright rejects the ideas of our protagonist but instead use grounded argument to support his. its not a fight for total oppression of the people but a wrestle among philosophies, that he believes the worthier one will be judged by the people, the aeons, and fate itself.
✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦
! kay so what is Sundayeology.
"a dystopia for the survival of the fittest, or a Sweatdream Paradise for all?"
the way i see it, Sunday wish to bring the closest form of equality into reality(dream xd). a place where strength, status, gender, etc. determined at birth does not affect the life that person desires. he wants to resist the flow of nature, an inherent evil in his eyes that calls itself Natural Selection. The method of such resistance is through Order.
"nature is always accompanied by predation and sacrifice... Its antithesis is known as Order."
how does Sunday define this "Sweatdream Paradise" of his? in his perfect world, nobody would need to work, and hence, would entirely avoid the hardship of reality. it would lead to a forced evolution where we would evolve into a life form detached from our physical state. This transcendence beyond the physical world mainly applies to the human spirit. without hunger and such as, human can cast aside our primal instinct and truly live a life striving towards self enlightenment. only in this hypothetical world do people return to their original self and when faced with their predetermined end, they would leave in the purest of spirit with their dignity intact. To feathered head, this is universal happiness.
so the whats!? mild food for thoughts, facing hardship degrade your dignity???
(might!! have an idea, where most people would assume 'growth' in a emotion sense, 'growth' in Sunday eyes is more on the spiritual side. therefore, in his world, by removing physical limitation where also removing spiritual pain)
"and it is only on these days, that people do not have to adhere to the law where the strong prey on the weak"
in true antagonist fashion, Sunday is a bit of a hypocrite, the status quo where "the strong prey on the weak" is erred but a system where "the strong govern the weak" is perfectly acceptable.
Tumblr media
Sunday believes that the individuals that go against his philosophy are the exception, not the rule. as the weekend man himself put it, the ideals the Nameless fought for only represent a small percentage of the people/ 'the fittest' and their actions would negatively impact the 'anonymous and frail member among the masses'.
Sunday view our protagonist quest as quite selfish as they were only focused on striving for a Penocony they deemed right in their eyes, but disregard the perspective of the average Penocony residence (he thought he stood for)
Tumblr media
💤⋆.ೃ࿔*:・
! Sundayeology pits against others (the ones i actually pay attention to)
Robin
it's clear robin was his first 'order awakening'(weird). her being shot in the neck and all shows him how Penacony or the universe at large cannot be salvaged through the path of Harmony.
' the bird
nature vs order, an overarching theme in Sundays philosophy. if you played through the 2.2 quest you'd notice the bird flashback is a reoccurring theme. it really helps translate his complex ideas into fornite terms for me. to put it simply, the dove is wounded and Sunday wish to keep it alive by caging it up, it'd be too weak to survive in the wild, at least this way it would continue on living. however, Robin held a different view.
Tumblr media
2. Firefly
i think firefly rebuttal during the big yap scene really hit home for me. #powerfulmoment #moved #touched #girlboss #SAM
without any hardship or challenge, people would never have the chance to overcome their weakness and therefore this "blissful world" would only act as an escape for the forementioned weakness
these adversities we faced is just the way of life and the right to deal with them should never be taken from us in the first place.
"the want to escape may be innate in the weak, but whether they are weak are not... it is not up to another to decide
perhaps in your mind, you also view me as 'weak'?"
SHIVER ME TIMBERS. THAT LINE WAS DELIVERED SO WELL ONNNGOD I WAS SQUIRMING.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
! some random references i wanna point out
⋆ SIMULATION CONSPIRACY RING RING (i watched far way too many wendigoon lately) if dreams are undisguisable to reality, whats wrong with that
⋆ The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas: for the masses to achieve eternal happiness, one person must shoulder all their pain (oh sunday)
"the cost is minute, merely a personal.. and eternal sacrifice. If this paradise is to be maintained for everyone, someone must remain trapped in solitary wakening, until the end of the cosmos."
like come onnn, they're not even trying to hide it.
⋆ like i mentioned before, the whole thing is just a big World Serpent reference (with less pressure for survival, MUCH LESS BLOODSHED). Sunday you're NOT Kevin Kaslana.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
i like how everyone has their own interpretation of "why do life slumber?" for lil vro its " because we are afraid to awaken from our dream"
silly beans:p
~ a/n: i like how allat means nothing at all.
signing of for good

Life – What a Delusion! 
Tumblr media
Ancient Indian philosophy says that our existence is merely an illusion (Maya) - it's just how the ultimate source of energy appears when you look at it through the lens of duality. Everything we perceive and think about is just concepts that our minds impose on our consciousness. Even big ideas like God or the devil are only in our heads as far as we can prove. 
The truth is the only thing that exists is formless energy. And we're not separate beings - we're transient parts of that indivisible energy in our bodies and minds. Knowing and experiencing that formlessness is the key to getting past all the dualities like good and evil, cause and effect, etc. It helps reduce anxiety, fear, and illusions because those are just what our minds create when they separate the one absolute energy into two. In formlessness, reality doesn't change; it has no attributes, space, or time - it's just quantum fields having measurable and calculatable effects on light and matter in the universe. But when we see through duality, reality is constantly in flux based on what we think is genuine. 
In human life, the supreme ability of formless energy takes shape in our minds as spiritual awareness - so we can watch the drama play out like a show. The human mind is the highest form of energy, so we can observe this illusion game that the mind plays. 
The Hindu ancient texts further say the Creator is present in all its creations. Every living thing is aware and conscious of its surroundings. In plants and animals, that presence is lower - just survival of the fittest. But in humans, the presence of the Creator is there as the spirit or the witness, allowing the mind to observe, perceive, and conceive through its mind all that prevails in the universe. 
You are that witness, the spirit, and the soul is that witness-er, a part of the mind in pure consciousness, the individual self-observer of your mind and body, watching all your thoughts. It is that the highest ability of energy, though unaware of itself, can make all living creatures aware, but is most intense in the case of human beings. The reason for being attributed as 'That art Thou.' The purpose is to make the mind aware and conscious of everything it perceives inside out. 
Consciousness emerges after the mind becomes aware and goes into duality to make the mind conscious of what it cognitively perceives. It operates in three levels -superconscious when the soul awakens. Higher – is when the mind focuses on the now, and lowest is that realm of subconsciousness. Living in the duality of this and that is to help the mind find that oneness it's separated from. So, the mind and body go on a rollercoaster ride, leading a material and spiritual life trying to reach the ultimate state of consciousness. You never realize you are that spirit going through a state of beingness in human experiences with a body and mind that you consider yours. 
The cognitive mind keeps playing its role in duality throughout life, looking for something it already has. That's the illusion about what life means and what it's for. The mind keeps experiencing duality but can seldom grasp the formlessness already in its core. Your mind should make full efforts to strive in spiritual practices with contentment, clarity, and consistency to experience clairvoyance through silence, solitude, and serenity, and with a constant endeavor to be selfless for the sake of that ultimate absoluteness in life.

When I have written to this man and told him that I hold him criminally responsible for the poisons which he circulates, we will have no more trouble. But it may recur. Others may find a better way. There is danger there—a very real danger to humanity. Consider, Watson, that the material, the sensual, the worldly would all prolong their worthless lives. The spiritual would not avoid the call to something higher. It would be the survival of the least fit. What sort of cesspool may not our poor world become?” 
Sherlock Holmes diving headfirst into the fascist theory of social darwinism here. That is NOT what Darwin meant by survival of the fittest, it is a racist, classist and ableist reappropriation and should be killed with fire. I'm so upset

Tumblr media
--- todo aoi + spirituality
spirituality was not a part of todo aoi’s early childhood. however, it came to him as a realization & as an awakening by the time he was thirteen.
when he thinks of himself at eight years old, nine years old . . . todo remembers when his that his nose ran too much when it was winter time, that he got bored in class, that teachers sometimes battled to determine whether they wanted to consider him inept ( a behavioral risk) or a promising student.
todo remembers that he entertained himself by clucking his tongue & enjoying how it to felt to make the sound - whenever he was reprimanded, he clucked his tongue to reprimand his critics too. it was annoying : that there were assumptions being made about him. about the sounds he made, the things he sometimes claimed to see, the flares of temper, the whatnots & everything in between.
there was no spirituality in his family. there were no ideals for success. there was survival of the fittest in a workforce arena. there was the threat of disconnection, & there was something else too.
at age eight, age nine — meals are whatever. when he has the chance, he overloads his food with spices & too-salty things of which he doesn't particularly enjoy the taste. mostly, todo just likes the flavor to be something bold. 
with two day old rice in hand, he watches whatever played on television. sometimes there were documentaries about buddhists & monks & christian missionaries & who knows what. sometimes, he wonders if these documentaries would explain things he saw. 
never mind. 
when ( & if ) he considers the spirituality of his peers, he dismisses it. what others choose to do is none of his business. it does not interest him.
besides. there are more important things.
at age eight, age nine — he clucks his tongue against the roof the mouth & tries to imagine why the world feels a little slanted sideways.
sometimes he imagines that he can see everything. & then he wonders why he can't decide if it's too quiet, too loud.
mostly, it feels jumbled.
—- it occurs to him later.
later, as in: after he trains hard, brutally, beautifully. after he learns fundamentals about curses, about energy, & about the dead.
it occurs to him later to that spirituality can be a synonym for balance. it occurs to him later that he believes a lot. that he understands a lot.
todo believes:
perspective is everything when it comes to untangling the jumbled.
he doesn’t see everything. he sees flow. things that flow together don’t necessarily need to be compatible. they don’t need to fit together.
things can be jarring, & that’s a part of existing within balance; if the world is slanted, then it’s necessary to adjust the posture & the frame of vision to make things upright.
todo also believes that:
it’s a myth that balance means peace; he is not a peaceful person. he will never be a peaceful person.
self-discipline, self-awareness is necessary to maintain balance.
he believes other things too. about what it means when he asks what kind of woman is your type.
but mostly ? somewhere after age eight, age nine:
todo learned to interpret how he processes the world in terms of balance & flow. he thinks about his environment & himself holistically.
he was not born spiritual. but now he thinks spiritually about energy.
he applies this in how he prioritizes self-discipline in his own behaviors.

Why Qimir is wrong- an essay
First of all I’ll like to say that the following observations are based on the six episodes we’ve seen so far of The Acolyte and I have no idea what will happen in the next two.
Also, Qimir is as hot as Mustafar.
There has been a lot of concern until now (especially if you judge it by the headlines of most YouTube videos) that this show might be all anti-Jedi centred and might praise to much the villains. Like so many speculations, theories and concerns right now floating through the internet I thought them unneeded and haven’t been proven wrong as yet. Most good stories rely on the fact that it is more interesting if you can understand from where both sides are coming from and, if we are going to stick to Star Wars, the prequels were basically nothing more then an attempt to showcase where Darth Vader was coming from. Everybody praised Avengers: Infinity War for having Thanos be a complex character, so why shouldn’t The Acolyte have witches and Sith we are curious to know more about? Does that automatically make the show be anti-Jedi and Light Side? No, no it doesn’t. 
But while I think the show has as yet a rather balanced outlook at characters believes and positions, and understands what is right and what is wrong, I do wonder at those from the audience who might think the show says “Qimir is right”
Well, I say “Qimir is wrong” And here’s why:
The most prevailing argument that he is making of why the Jedi are wrong, and that he (as a Dark Side user) has a right to exist is: Freedom. Everybody should have the freedom to do as he or she pleases, no limitations, follow your emotions because they are always right, power is a mighty weapon, no law should limit myself from expressing my individuality etc. But things aren’t that black and white as he paints them to be, aren’t they? Because “freedom” means responsibility, you CANNOT just do as you pleases, your emotions can blind you, the rules of society keep us united. It isn’t just about using the Force freely. It isn’t just the Jedi who are worried about Dark Side users, it’s the Republic. 
The reason only Jedi are trained to use their powers is to prevent another Galaxy wide conflict like there was 1000 yers ago. Not every child sensitive in the Force is excepted into the Order nor does every family agree to send their child away, and that is okay because if not used the powers do not limit the person in his path later in life, except prevent psychotic mass murderers from wrecking havoc. (Insert tumblr joke).
Tumblr media
It is always brought up how Jedi are against attachment and romantic relationships- well I haven’t seen a Sith romance last very long, did you? Does their way of thinking really support a quiet family life? Did Anakin say yes to Padme when she asked him to leave everything behind and be there for her and their child? I see always this argument of “Jedi can’t love” as a fact and exclusively bad thing, when the concept of monastic life is anything but coldhearted and anti-love. All the Jedi we’ve met here so far have been nothing but kind- even Yord. Why couldn’t friendships be based on really deep connections? Why should the personal gratification of oneself be the way to limit oneself in life? Qimir said there is no romantic love, no family life possible as a Jedi- yes but only because (from a Catholic point of view) we know family love and the love between two people is the most noble and worthy thing to strive for, so when you exclude yourself from that equation it isn’t because you don’t value them but because you value them so much that you are making a sacrifice to forgo this path and give yourself up to spiritual servitude to (insert your faith) and society as a whole. This concept may look odd to people from a secular worldview, but to millions of believers (Christian, Hindi, Buddhist or Shinto) it is a very valid concept. 
Where does love have its place in Qimir’s worldview? Survival of the fittest? He tells Osha her feelings for Jecki would have always stayed on sided- so it was ok to kill her? Because my feelings alone are valid, everyone else is wrong? Isn’t that the lonely path?
"When you loose everything you're finally free"- Qimir, ep6 Teach/Corrupt

When You Know Who You Are No One Can Affect You.
You must choose to not associate with anyone YOU KNOW is not aligned with you. With compassion and love you choose to not let them access to you anymore. Think of yourself as a flower trying to bloom, but no one is watering you in this reality. The next city over, everyone is pouring into you while you blossom.
Say, "What is the best available choice for me in this NOW moment? Hmm, I can't go to these parties anymore with these people. I could make that choice with my free will, but it doesn't feel right in my body to go so I won't go. They never saw me, they never valued me, they don't allow me to be myself fully, they always judged me harshly, they traumatized me, they never pour into me. I am not going to anyone, what's meant for me will come to me, will find me because I'm a magnet for all my desires now." If you want to romanticize your life and how you view yourself, then romanticize your life. Make every moment beauitful. Their opinion can not affect you because they are a ghost in the matrix now. You choose how to view yourself, not them, you dictate your standards you have for yourself, not them, you create your reality, not them. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for having standards for yourself. There are many brainwashed, heavily programmed people who are listening to people who tell them everything they want to hear.
They agree and support that person feeding them pretty lies. But when faced with a hard truth because they can't accept their own toxic ways, they will call the truth tellers, liars selling them a scam. They think logically, they are intelligent, (and they are) the way some people are book smart but lacking street smarts, not aware they are a multidimensional being. Some people are both book smart and street smart and other forms of intelligence because more of their codes have been turned on in their DNA, activating their other abilities. So they don't understand there are higher levels of perception and awareness. But these people ignoring their spiritual journey thinking of it as inferior to logic, they are never feeling their emotions, they are not going with the flow of the rhythm of life. Always programmed to believe that miracles are too good to be true. But they don't realize miracles are happening all the time, but they block them from themselves. They have their one perspective and their one perspective only, they aren't interested in listening to anyone, especially women. They ignore women's strong intuition and inner knowing, and label it as a joke. They don't even believe in higher dimensional beings, or wishes coming true. Remember, those who do not believe in magic will never find it.
The world is changing, we are evolving rapidly by doing the inner work needed to heal ourselves. These people who see you as beneath them are falling behind, they are not changing and never plan on changing because they believe their old ways work for them. But they can't comprehend that you are light years ahead of them and leaving them behind, not because you are in competition but because you chose to evolve and remove anything no longer serving your highest good. It is survival of the fittest, and those who know the ability to change, is what will keep you not only surviving but thriving, we are the ones who are ahead of the pack. Those who refuse to change, adapt and grow are the ones who will blame you for all their problems they created themselves. Remember these people are terrified of being alone so they are projecting their own fears onto you. These are the people you aren't aligned with anymore. They will go to great lengths to get back your energy, any energy, they will take, so give them NOTHING. They will look for dirt on you, anything possible to justify why you are the toxic one, but it's not the truth and they are clueless to who you really are.
They play the blame game, they point their fingers, they insult your intelligence, they draw a line in the sand, they think they are nothing in the grand scheme of things, so you must be nothing too. But it's not the truth. It's true that intelligence can be defined as the ability to understand and reason about complex systems and processes, and to make well thought out decisions based on your level of realized consciousness. But there will always be those who refuse to see the truth no matter how intelligent they are. They don't believe in the idea of reciprocity what goes around comes around, because they keep manifesting their own chaos, haters, someone attacking them because they believe that's how all humans are from their limited mindset thinking that's just how life is. "Life is hard, that's the way the world works. " But it's not everyone's truth of reality perception.
But is certainly a common belief across many cultures and religions, what goes around comes around. Karma is a reflection of misalignment. To quote Bashar, "Karma is self-imposed. Karma is broken when you realize that Karma is yours to break. That’s all it is. The realization that you are free from Karma – frees you from Karma. When you know that you are free to determine who you are at every moment, that recognition breaks the karmic tie." You deserve to forgive yourself. You're not doing anything wrong by choosing yourself, and protecting your energy. Always remember that recalibrating your nervous system and leaving these people alone is the best possible choice at this time because saying nothing or letting them know you aren't coming to the party or the lunch is what you need for your body to rest and recalibrate. Its an exhausting time to be alive, so feel what your body needs each now moment.
Only you know what's best for your body in the moment. The present moment and the impermanence of all things is also an important meditation to do daily. Remember nothing stays the same forever and that everything is in a state of flux. This is exactly how we need to approach life at this time to enjoy the future experiences you will enjoy soon. You are always growing, and transforming. Overall, focusing on the present moment and embracing change, romanticizing your life in every moment can be the powerful way to live a more fulfilling and beautiful, purposeful life. Remember, just because you are capable of handling difficult situations and circumstances doesn't mean you should have to anymore, because no one can tell you who are you anymore, only YOU.

Survival of the Wittest
We tend to think of evolution in mostly biophysical terms, but every aspect of life evolves, including the emotional and cognitive dimensions. Of course, neuroscience would say, no, those are “biophysical” as well because they are byproducts of neurological formations. And of course, they’re not wrong; they just, again, assume a partiality as an entirety. They do this because the other aspect of evolution—the conceptual, the mental—has no real physical properties. It’s entirely insubstantial. And hard science hates insubstantial (re: inner subjective) aspects of reality.
But it’s not just the biological structures that have evolved, or transcended prior configurations, so to speak, it’s also the mental memes, the complexity of communication, the ideas built on ideas, the added depth and breadth of conceptual models. This whole aspect of human experience has also evolved based on pressures: cultural, political, spiritual, philosophical, artistic, etc.
Just as the pressures that lead to biological adaptation (evolution) are essentially biophysical, such as the fundamental physiological processes necessary to survive and procreate, the pressures that lead to an idea surviving and evolving over generations are also ideas. They are conceptual; they, these pressures, are themselves “ideas” about ideas that have survived by infesting enough brains, by being passed around and preserved in various ways. In other words, there were thoughts that were deemed important enough (by other thoughts!) to be promulgated, and that led to their continued “survival” and, in most cases, evolution, generation after generation. The fittest wit, for the most part, survives and evolves, mind to mind and utterly insubstantial.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Into the Miyaverse ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Introduction: Hoshiumi Miya is an extraterrestrial character from the planet, Trofí. Her and her family traveled to Earth in hopes of escaping the turmoil on their home planet. Despite being born there, Miya had only ever experienced life on her home planet briefly, therefore, her connection to her home planet is vague. Even so, due to health problems that stem from a synthesization error with her human form, Miya grew up on Earth very sheltered, thus leaving her without much of a connection to Earth and its humanity as well. A lot of Miya’s personal struggles–outside of her physical health–deal with feeling like she’s in limbo between her two identities.
Profile
Name: Hoshiumi Miya (星海 美夜)
Hoshiumi: 星 (hoshi) “Star” and 海(umi) “Sea” Miya: 美(Mi) means “beautiful, beauty, pretty”  夜 (Ya) means “night, evening”
Age: 17
Birthday: September 20, 2099
Zodiac: Virgo sun, Pisces moon, Taurus rising
Sex/Gender: Intersex; fem-aligned nonbinary
Pronouns: She/her
Sexuality: Androsexual (attracted to men/masc individuals)
Height: 182.9 cm (6.0 ft)
Quirk: (1) Ancestral Ki – She has latent ki from all five major sectors of her home planet (fire, water, earth, air, and the core (science, magic, spirituality)); however, due to her body’s natural limitations and it being her strongest nature, she can only tap into her hydro ki. Attempting to use any of her other ki’s or overusing her ki in general takes a huge toll on her body and can result in body pains, asthma attacks, fainting, or potentially, even death–generally temporary, but the potential of her dying for real stays with her.
(2) alien physiology – While Miya usually takes the form of a humanoid alien, she does have two distinct alien forms: her ancestral form and her evolved form.
Miya’s ancestral form is her least favorite due to its “monstrous” appearance. Despite this, Miya is at her healthiest and fittest in this form. This form provides Miya with enhanced strength, agility, durability, perception, and usage of her quirk.
Miya’s evolved form is what she considers her “true form” due to its otherworldly etherealness. Despite its more accepting appearance, this form is biologically useless and serves no real purpose in terms of survival.
Miya’s health issues stem from a synthesization error with this evolved form. Because this form is made of pure ki, it takes a lot of energy to keep up the form, hence why it was adopted by the elites of the Water Sector who had the most power.
Likes: adventure, anime/manga (horror), horror genre, astrology, being in water
Dislikes: dogs, most human foods but especially vegetables
Hobbies: yoga, meditation, tarot, swimming, diving
Favorite food/drink: snacks
Personality: Miya is adventurous, daring, and outgoing. She loves to explore–or, the idea of exploring–and meeting new people. She rejects her family's apprehension with integrating into humanity, proving that she can be quite stubborn and determined to forge her own path and her own way of thinking. Sometimes, her refusal to heed warnings and advice does get her hurt in the long run, which she tends to take extremely hard when it does happen. She dislikes being coddled, and she hates being wrong. She has a tendency to push herself past her limits because of how she grew up being sheltered.
Family: Hala Samir (56), Hoshiumi Tsugumi (56), Hoshiumi Akina (36), Hoshiumi Maki (28), Hoshiumi Maya (17)
Fun (sometimes not-so-fun) Factoids:
There isn’t a lot that Miya is afraid of, and you can trust that she’d jump headfirst into any situation.
She is afraid of dogs because there was a time when she snuck out that she was attacked by wild dogs. She thought they were friendly strays, but they weren’t. Miya ended up shutting down in the attack, but thankfully, Chiba Akira (a future classmate of hers) saved her.
While Miya presents fem and uses feminine pronouns, she doesn’t feel connected to either gender identity to strongly identify as strictly “male” or “female”–much like the rest of her family and her people on Trofi.
Miya loves dressing up in various styles. She wouldn’t say that she is seriously into fashion or anything like that, but once she set foot onto the mainland, she became addicted to trying out all kinds of styles that Japan offered her.
Miya’s assumed human heritage is Afro-Arab American (Hala) and Japanese (Tsugumi). She has other extended family members on Hala’s side that reside in the States (Georgia) and Africa (Ethiopia), hence where the heritage comes from.
While Miya generally loves all snacks, her favorite kind of snacks to eat are anything that is soft and/or chewy. She doesn’t really care for crunchy snacks.
Miya’s meeting with Bakugou Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto was underwhelming to say the least—at least it was at first, but then her and Bakugou got into it because he was being rude and abrasive, and Miya didn’t like that. 
When it comes to Class 1-A, Miya ended up being the closest with: Midoriya Izuku, Sero Hanta, Sato Rikido, Uraraka Ochako, and Ashido Mina.
Miya and Bakugou were forced to go on a “bonding trip” to help solidify Miya’s standing with Class 1-A. Aizawa had explained to them that since Bakugou is such a rigid pillar of Class A and doesn’t accept anyone unworthy, they (the HPSC and UA) figured that if Miya managed to gain his approval, it would help her assimilate into UA better.
Due to this, Miya developed a tiny crush on/affinity for Bakugou Katsuki. He seemed to develop some sort of attachment to Miya as well, particularly feeling inclined to look after her as if she were a younger sister.
Also due to the time they spent together, Miya developed a taste for spicy food, similar to Bakugou’s preferences.
When it comes to her trauma in regards to being groomed her entire childhood, Miya struggles with accepting that she has been groomed at all. She gets extremely defensive and will lash out at anyone who dares to point it out.
Miya also struggles a lot in regards to her relationship with her family members, specifically her sisters. The only one that still willingly talks to her is Maki, but Miya feels extreme guilt and rarely responds to her older sister’s efforts at repairing their relationship.

Jon is a wicked and mean criminal man, yes, but he is also someone who’s spiritually an angry, battle-scarred alley cat who maybe, once, knew what it was like to be cared for, but has lost that and now only knows survival of the fittest (or in his case, the fiercest). He runs or bites every hand that lifts to help him and eventually people stopped trying… but I want someone to pick him up and take him home, y’know?
Genuinely I have no good reason for wanting this to be the character that gets saved and cared for and shown scraps of kindness, but A. I just… really love the idea that people who have been turned cold and mean by life can slowly melt a bit with some love and care and B. The idea of someone taking a chance on someone like that and caring for them anyways, no matter how angry or snappish or pessimistic, just does something for my heart man idk.

World is hating, that's forever (uh, c'mon) It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon) World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world
Yo, there's brothers on the block, posted up like they own it That's they corner, from New York to California Got blocks locked down Like, "dog you safe whenever you with me, see this is my town"
So the youngsters, grows in ghettos, goes to prison At an early age, already know it's against him So in order for him to survive, one day he must Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise
'Cause, everybody wants a shot, in this land of opportunity Look at what this country's got There shouldn't be nobody homeless How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet
The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone To all colors increases, to home it belongs I want land, mansions, banks and gold The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control
The world's natural resources, all it's residuals But then comes foes, I have to guard it with missiles And I become the most wanted But is it worth hearing a million people problems and followed by Secret Service
I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo
World is hating, that's forever (uh, c'mon) It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)

You alive right now There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast, I'm a hot light now It's whatever man think of manifest to the real The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals
All this hate can't forever last All my ghetto heroes in Heaven, it's like you right here and never passed You just transcend, I know I'm goin' see you again Hoping I reach the world leaders and win
Ain't nothing without struggle, listen up, it's critical We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical In Hip-Hop, the weapons are lyrical To be the best you challenge the best, then the blessings are spiritual
Top of the world for the kid and unless Popping any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest I know the Most High hear me, so fly you can't near me
You scared of a mirror, my theory is that - knowledge is power To every projects and every street corner, we gotta get ours now
World is hating, that's forever (uh, c'mon) It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon) World
Yo, niggas ain't forget shit, know what I'm saying? Niggas ain't forget nothing Men, women and children killed by the police and shit Niggas ain't gon' forget that, you know what I mean? Yo, what this war just show me is like, whatever you want out of life
Whatever you feel is rightfully yours, go out and take it Even if that means blood and death You know, that's what I was raised up on, that's what this country's about This is what my country is, and my country's a motherfucker

V. Current Crises Faced by Humanity
Xuefeng
(Translated by Conglong)  
The crises faced by humanity has been long-standing. There had been warnings in Bible, Koran and ‘the Book of Earth Mother’ of Buddhism. In recent twenty years, many scientists, ideologists, and spiritual leaders have all sensed the crises faced by humanity are getting more and more serious. They can be summarized as follows:​
Water resource shortages and pollution, food shortages, rapid population growth, air pollution, widespread of strong virus, leakage of nuclear facilities, desertification, endangered species, ecological imbalance, greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, competition of nuclear weapons , etc.​
There are also some people have foreseen the culture crisis, ethic crisis and belief crisis.​
All the above crises are only the crises on surface and they are not the core crisis.
The core crisis faced by humanity is the crisis of the soul.All the above crisis result from the crisis of the soul. If we only focus on the superficial but ignore the core, it is impossible to resolve them. The crises will become even more severe, which would end up with humanity extinction and earth destruction.
Only very few enlightened people can sense some other crises like race extinction and religious virus.
Others like the crisis of disappearance of a city in one night, and a beam of wave causing the death of billions of people in a few minutes will definitely not be understood and conceived by ordinary people.
The core crisis of humanity is the crisis of the soul.
Humans can hear, listen, smell, taste and sense spiritually because they have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and consciousness. However, humans are losing spiritual sense.​
The results of failing to have spiritual sense are:
Not able to feel the existence of the Greatest Creator
Not able to feel the existence of the god, Buddha or celestials.
Not able to feel the existence of thirty-six dimensional spaces
Not able to feel the existence of “the non-material” and “negative universe”
Do not understand the concept of “horizontal time”
Too much trust on scientific findings, and atheism becomes popular
Do not believe the law of cause and effect
Do not realize the magic of consciousness
Do not believe reincarnation
Self-centered and arrogant​
If a man loses the spiritual sense, he loses spirituality. And as a result, he will not be able to have a perfect human nature:
His thoughts are prisoned in three-dimensional space
Does not acknowledge the regularity and certainties
Does not believe the law of cause and effect
Does not believe reincarnation
Believe the theory of evolution, “law of jungle” and “survival of the fittest”
Only value short term interests, and ignore long-term consequences
Rotten morals and falling humanity
Lack of gratitude​
A man who loses spiritual sense will be just like a black hole, only absorb stuff in but never contribute. Moreover, he is like a virus, which only does destruction to the surrounding environment.​
The above statements have shown that the core crisis of human being is the crisis of soul, and it is the root cause of why one cannot have a happy and free life.
1.His thoughts are prisoned in three-dimensional space.
He believes that earth is the only habitat for human beings, and completely denies the existence of other spaces; and regards any other doctrines or theories he is not able to understand as superstitions or fallacies, and blocks the way for human beings to pursue other higher dimensional spaces.
2.Does not acknowledge the regularity and certainties.
He sees many phenomena as accidents, and doesn’t realize that all natural disasters are caused by ill consciousness.
3.Does not believe the law of cause and effect
He attaches too much weight on win and loss, uses any means to achieve the goal, and ignores the effects that will cause in later lifetimes.
4.Does not believe reincarnation
He thinks that death is the end of life; so does anything as he/she pleases without conscience; and regards fame, wealth and power as the symbols of a successful life.
5.Apply the theory of evolution in human society; believe “law of jungle”, “survival of the fittest”.
He stops nothing to achieve his goal, which may include making miseries to other people, polluting rivers, bullying the kind, lying and deceiving.
6.Only value short term interests, and ignore long-term consequences.
Use competition as primary means to promote social development, therefore, making nuclear and biological weapons, frantically developing heavy industries that damage environment, predatory exploitation of resources, and treating all people as potential rivals or enemies.
7.Rotten morals and falling humanity
He does not respect god, buddha, saints and sages, and does not respect his teacher, father and brother. He is violent, use to cheat and not shameful of his behaviors.
Lying, bullying the weak, abusing women, killing people….. He does all evils. Just like what described in the ancient Chinese book "Tractate of the Most High One on Actions and Consequences"(太上感应篇):
The crimes of the wicked:
sometimes there is someone who behaves without righteousness, and moves against rationality, who defrauds ignorant and naive people, vilifies one’s schoolmates, employs lies, fraud, espionage, plots, sting operations, and entrapment against others, who slanders and criticizes one's extended and immediate family members maliciously, who is cruel, irrational, and self-willed, who oppresses those below him and claims their merit for himself, but cringes before those above him to win their favor, who has no feeling for favors received, but harbors endless resentment, who rewards those irrelevant with righteousness, but punishes the innocent, who slays people to take their wealth, and overthrows people to occupy their positions, who slays captives and slaughters those who surrender, who denigrates the righteous and expels the wise, who wrongs orphans and coerces widows, who ignores the law and receives bribes, who takes the straight as crooked and the crooked as straight, who knowing his faults does not correct them, and knowing the good does not do it, who prays for people’s misfortunes, wishes people to encounter disaster, destroys people's success, sullies people's innocence, pilfers people’s harvests, masks people’s good and kind deeds, and who generate hatred and resentment if desires are not fulfilled." etc.
A moral person with spirituality knows he should revere the Greatest Creator and walk on the way of the Greatest Creator’s, and is aware of his weakness as a human, so he will not be arrogant. He realizes he should cultivate himself, and knows he needs to take care of, cherish, respect and love mother nature, its resources and all life beings.
He will never leave the wastewater of factories, mines, hospitals and cities to rivers, streams and lands.
He will never hunt and eat the meat of wild animals.
He will never destroy forests, mountains and grasslands.
He will never indulge in power, money, beauty, and let his greed expand, not even use any means to satisfy his evil desires.
He will never use his power to serve his own or his family’s interests. Nor bully or suppress others.
He will never sell fake or shoddy goods
He will never steal other person’s research findings to gain fame for himself.
He will never make life-threating nuclear weapons and biological weapons.
He will never provoke conflicts among people, to profit from it.
He will never suppress any new ideas, new cultures or new values.
8.Lack of gratitude
In his heart, there is no place for the Greatest Creator, gods, parents, elders, the society, other people; he only demands and is not willing to give.
Even a plant bears fruits as long as we water and fertilize it.
A chicken produces eggs as long as we feed it.
A dog will be a good safeguard of our home as long as it is been taken good care.
A man who loses spiritual sense will be just like a black hole, only absorb stuff in but never contribute. Moreover, he is like a virus, which only does destruction to the surrounding environment.​
The above statements have shown that the core crisis of human being is the crisis of soul, and it is the root cause of why one cannot have a happy and free life.
If we look earth from a height of 1000 meters, and focus on the cities of the world, we will find the survival situation of human beings is just like a group of ants on a hot pot, running around hastily. You don’t know where these “ants” are going to; they just follow their senses with no purposes. They move quickly all together once they spot an animal corpse or a drop of oil; they follow where the trend is. If you ask one of the “ants”: Why are you so busy every day? Where do you rush for? His answer will be: I’m looking for something to eat, drink and a place to live. As for where to go, I will go wherever I can find food, drinks and a place to live.
The secular world is just like an animal world. Some people stand themselves out, but where do they go after they get out? They go to religions.
All religions, whether it is good or evil, they are made of people who have spiritual pursuit. A real disciple of any religion is superior, in spiritual aspect, to any kings or great men.
So we can say, all people in secular world are sleeping and people in religion are awake. The formers do not have spiritual direction as the latters do.
However, with the development of science and the growth of human wisdom, many people in religions start to confuse and are not able to tell the direction. Many disciples are like gamblers; they stake all their energy and wisdom on the religion they belong to, although they know that they can’t win back what they have lost, they want to keep “gambling”; they even want to persuade others to gamble with them to feel psychologically balanced. Just like the fox that has lost his frozen tail on the ice, he has lost the tail, he has been laughed at and left alone by other foxes, he also knows that he doesn’t look good without a tail, but in order to comfort himself, he tries to persuade others that a fox without a tail is the most beautiful fox, and others are all fools if they don’t cut their tails.
People always have an illusion; they think truth lies where the crowds are, otherwise, why so many people go there?
People always have an illusion; they think those religions or organizations that are strong and powerful can point to a place with real happiness, otherwise, how it can grow so big?
People always have an illusion; they think wherever celebrities or intellectuals go must have a promising future, because these smart men will not go for and praise something blindly.
However, when they are out, they want to get in, once they get in, except bewilderment, blindly following, and some shackles they put on themselves, the only thing left they can do is waiting and hoping with a fluke mind.
What are they hoping for?

Build Spiritual Wealth (1 Timothy 6:11-21)
In a world of looking out for number one, survival of the fittest, and hyper-capitalistic economies, many succumb to the allure of trusting in Master Mammon.
But you, man of God, flee from all this [love of money] and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.  In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before…
