The Wheel

11/19/22-

In the past when The Wheel would start to turn, The Self would bear down and brace for the storm, hold tight to what was loved. Loss wasn't an option, but loss always came. It was agony. More effort than was worth was pushed to try and save what was not meant to be... a person, a job, a belief. Small things, big things, things that aided in the idea of hope; you could call them safety even more could call them home. Yet The Wheel still turned.

Fate was brought, the path of The Self, it was laid by those who love, with love. They brought me home and once settled they told me to turn away. It wasn't for me anymore, a new river flowed in a more positive way. As I tried to steady myself against the rapids, I choked on all that used to bring me life. Unsteady hands wanting to keep their grip, if I stayed then calm would surely find its way back to me. I trusted The Universe to bring it to me instead of trusting The Universe to bring me to it.

The moment I let go, the moment I chose to follow their love as well as my own, The Self found peace. The storm settled around me, I was no longer being pulled under. For a moment it was beautiful. And in the next moment The Wheel started to turn once again.

One year was all it took, half of it spent crumbling, everything I held turning to shackles. I wanted to stay at first of course. The roses long gone and wilted, all that was now left was their thorns, I wrapped them tight around my figure, certain this was where I was meant to be. The pain, although there, hadn't set in until the end. I peered up at divinity and it looked back into me.

When we spoke it told with honesty,

You are not abandoned; Child of Fate where is your love? Clutching so hard you've lost it again. There is love here no longer, can you not feel the pain this place brings? Go forward and find it, it is someplace new. The Wheel will take you. There is no need to fight, it is your divine right. The Wheel will show you the way.

How long would it last, this new safety. It was not up to me to know. Who would be the one to tell but The Wheel itself? How could something that brought so much pain be trusted? I looked into my heart, into The Self, it was suffering where I had wrapped it. I wanted to keep it safe, but I had overlooked all the pain that caused.

One Step?

The wheel bargained.

I will take you the rest of the way. Please do not make me take from you again, it's for your own healing.

What would I do for The Self? Sometimes unfamiliarity is required for comfort, for a calm bed to lay your head to rest. I trusted The Universe after all, and The Universe saw much in me. The Self deserved more than to be shoved away in hope of fending off pain, it was divinity after all. The same as The Wheel, and the same as The Universe, they all work in tandem.

One Step?

That could be managed. Evade pain by moving forward, no longer inadvertently running from change. A new future, a new path. This time I will turn with the wheel.

I consider myself fun to draw. Happy with how it turned out

Rational thinking

When we allow the rational mind to analyze too much, to let it think in our behalf, then fear creeps in. And if fear is based in our preconditions, our habitual patterns, our old ways of thinking and is not based in reality, then this fear is unreal. How can someone know reality when his mind is not real? Myriad of evils in the world stem from this rational mind. The rational mind can be very dangerous, and thus the most irrational way of being. To be totally rational it needs a clean and empty person. An absent person. Just our presence in joyous existence... Something to burn the past and to stop the constant worrying of the automatic mind. Its antithesis. The automatic healing machine. Trust. In the real self.

tabula rasa; keep moving forward

I’ve made some friends on tinder so far; some want to play board games and some want to get in my pants. But I’m talking to this kid [21; obviously not a literal kid, but it feels like there’s over a decade between us] about his depression in how the public unconsciousness is poisoned. (Speaking of which, I need to get back to writing the smut I was drafting while drinking. The guy’s getting pegged while he talks about parasocial relationships being deliberate creations of class based society; used to alleviate the rising temper of the inevitable clashing mentalities prevalent among the public unconsciousness. Obviously I’m not gonna do it justice in any way in a tumblr post, so I’ll keep it top myself for now.)

And as all the thoughts raise through my head, agreeing with him on how neoliberialism’s schadenfreude is morally decrepit, I’m reminded about our discussion(s) about tabula rasa and what it means to be one’s authentic self. Yeah, sure, ALL the kinky shit we talked about was fun, but it was always the intellectual discussions that I’ve missed most. Sure I may have been the moody sarcastic asshole at time, but I was always sincere with my interest in discussions & our intertwined betterment; no matter the topic.

So I guess that’s another reason why I’m reminding myself to keep moving forward like I used to tell you. I’m finally replying to my new therapist. it shouldn’t have taken me this long, but I’m so exhausted that I’m just now getting around to it.

Why am I even writing this? You don’t read it, and it’s already inside my head. I guess it is good to get it out, even if it makes me feel psychotic (I should probably get my psychiatrist to up my anti-psychotic, shouldn’t I? ...I jest; moistly, er, I mean mostly.)

[This is where I’d insert the sound of an hour long groan that you can’t tell if it’s the byproduct of a bad pun or from something else I might say; I’m hyper-aware except for when I need it most after all.]

The manifestation-embodiment of high-love—

Through form, love shows itself—

Love, through form, reaches for the divine

As rose, opens towards light—

Through form, love becomes palpable, to be sensed, felt as sensation of warmth.

The perfume of the Self is this love.

Many have intuited the ‘transcendental form’ of the Goddess, of love, to be the Rose or Lotus, each form-expression, in the great Now (beings past, present and future), a petal, in the whole that is the Rose.

Dragona isn't intersex, just has implants (people are going for the trans angle super fast but it's pretty clear he identifies as a He that likes femme presentation). Also be careful reading there's an early on sexual assault scene. (Also what was the problem with the brief stone ocean scene? Pretty clearly framed the doctor as a pos)

we were given information from scanlators early on that Dragona was intersex, this was the information we were given to work off of

we know Jodio has used masculine terms for Dragona but we also see Dragona using feminine pronouns for theself. and the translators themelves has said their a little confused on the matter and may adjust the pronouns as they work through but for now may just stick to neutral terms. it seems the translations are a bit messy in this department its hard to say for sure what is going on there. Maybe Dragona is just intersex, maybe their not and there was a mistake in that, maybe their trans maybe their intersex and trans i have no idea whats going on there and i have no idea how much you can gather with clarity when reading the chapter, because again i have not read it myself. i have only seen pages shared around in the server im in, im piecing it together second hand.

i think jumping the gun on anything right now might be a bit early, as far as i care Dragona can do whatever they want and have as much gender as they want ig

and yes i have been warned by other on the sexual assault and police brutality present in the first chapter, but it is good to let ppl know about that if they plan to read jojolands

Good morning! This week's rune is Mannaz.

Mannaz is the rune of "mankind". The rune of the person, the self, community, the greater good, rationality and mental development. The December holidays tend to bring with them a more intensive emphasis on family and community, and giving. If you are considering contributing more in some way to a community you are a part of, the next seven days would be a good time. As the beginning of a new year approaches, the next seven days would also be a good time to look at the person you have become during this past year. Consider how you interact with others, how you interact with the divine, what you do when no one seems to be watching.

Self-checkout Systems Market - Factors Driving Growth Post 2023: Forecast 2030

Self-checkout Systems Industry Overview

The global self-checkout systems market size was valued at USD 3,865.8 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% from 2023 to 2030. Self-checkout (SCO) systems are automated systems, which are adopted across grocery stores, retail, and hospitality sectors to aid customers in checkout and self-order without the help of employees. The earlier self-checkout systems included separate, off-the-shelve components and occupied a large storage area.

However, the current self-checkout systems are manufactured and re-engineered as per demand to suit the store structure and offer competitive functionality, reliability, form factors, and costs. The increasing demand for secure and self-payment technologies has resulted in small vendors delivering cashless systems, which are anticipated to boost the self-checkout systems industry growth over the forecast period.

Automation is rapidly becoming the key transformational force across many industries globally. The increased penetration of automation across industries/sectors such as retail and hospitality is likely to drive the adoption of self-checkout systems across store operations and warehouses. Features such as self-scan & pay and self-ordering, while avoiding large queues, contribute to their increased popularity in the self-checkout systems industry. Also, to cope with the declining workforce, the adoption of robotic and automation products has risen notably in the retail sector in recent years.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of theSelf-checkout Systems Market

Increasing IoT penetration and technological developments in retail premises are the factors that contribute to the growth of the SCO systems industry. Retailers are investing in technology to reduce in-store issues. These issues are often related to product information identification, inventory mapping, customer experience, and payment. For instance, laser motion sensors aid retailers detect if a product is shoplifted or has not been scanned at a self-checkout counter.

Furthermore, the deployment of SCO systems helps customers understand various product features, provides in-store promotional offers and aids consumers to check out rapidly without any intervention from employees. Hence, self-checkout systems serve as an additional touchpoint, providing retailers with improved customer engagement and enhanced shopping experiences.

However, the market growth is anticipated to be restrained by downsides such as a lack of product awareness. The rising instances/incidences of skimming, fraud, and shoplifting are anticipated to pose a challenge to market growth. Reluctance to use self-checkout services among the elderly population is another factor that may impact the industry’s growth.

Senior citizens with mobility issues and conditions such as dementia, hearing, sight, and memory loss require more in-person care. Additionally, limited technology know-how in underdeveloped economies often leads to the avoidance of self-checkout systems across retail outlets.

me, myself & i - mhapi2024

For #mentalhealthawarenessmonth to #endthestigma surrounding #mentalhealth - I have released the #mhapi 2024 poetry prompts which focus on #theself - each poem will answer a question. Today regarding #memyselfandi - I ask myself: #amialone

am i alone? How many songs are there – how many quotes can be found – How often do you think we all believe we’re alone in a crowd? If you took every text, email, status, tweet, and post together then made a word web with everything that you type – How much of what you share is focused on: me, myself, and I?

I am not sure if born again is the same as NDE? I think it is similar. It goes from the outside in. Born again goes from the inside out. Really, it must be the same as we are doing both equally at the same time.

The whole idea is to flip our switch to have more awareness of who we are spiritually instead of physically because in God's world, we are spiritual beings first.

Once we establish our connection to Him, our marriage, we can learn to become the partner, the co-creator that He needs. That means clearing all the clutter, the noise, or the karma from the self to create a clearer connection to Him and to others who also have made this connection.

We are all ONE in this simulation together.

He created the darkness and the light to be co-creators together. As we refine the self, our world who is our image also becomes more refined.

We are in the image of Him, who is the whole self. ✨️

It is the Eye of the eye, the Mind of the mind, the Speech of speech, the Life of life, and the Ear of the ear. Separa4ng the Self from the senses and renouncing the world the wise one realizes his or her immortal nature. #upanishad #gurubhakti #jnana #grace #gratitude #surrendertogod #theself #enlightenment #enlightened #selflove #selfrealized #upanishads #bhagavadgita #vedas #agama #puranas #sanskritquotes #yoga #sanskritmantra #sandiego https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoZ-WhrRo9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
