The self is uplifted by the self; the self alone is the friend of the self, and the self alone is the enemy of the self. — Bhagavad Gita 6:5

Respect to my husband’s friend’s girlfriend for consistently inviting me out for sushi every two weeks nothing else just do you want to come out for sushi. She found the one international girl in the area who is always down for it. Last time we went to a spot in Pompei and it was insane(ly good)

I’ll be in the middle of an electrolyte fast feeling so Zen 10,000 steps in hope for the future and then my husband will be like hey do you want me to buy you your favourite sandwich in the whole world? Do you want me to buy it for you right now?

Things I learned visiting Europe several times (especially the Mediterranean) as a Canadian:

Leisure is so important, maybe even more so than work.

Animal fats are the key to eternal youth. Cheese and red meat = collagen!

Quality/ non processed ingredients in food is a MUST.

You need to take breaks throughout the day to reduce cortisol.

Even if you’re just going out for a latte or glass of wine, dress like an Old Money boomer because refined appearance helps with self-confidence.

Walking daily is non-negotiable, and sun is absolutely vital for not feeling and aging like shit.

Move languidly and never be in a rush. Every Med has a lifestyle considered lazy by North Americans, yet they are healthier, happier and live longer than us.

La adoro

Non ho mai avuto una cucciola nella mia vita è incredibile vedere quanto è collegata a me. Ama con tutto il suo cuore anche le persone che vede per strada è la mia piccola principessa la mia bambolina socievole e tenera….. Non posso credere che devo lasciarla qui per una settimana quando vado in Canada spero che stia bene

Adesso dorme così mentre leggo il mio PDF “Routledge Handbook on Panpsychism” 🤓

Mutual fascination is always a risky business. Lacan suggests that it is the consequence of an imaginary identification in which the self strives to incorporate the other in an act as aggressive as it is loving. It is never clear who, snake or snake charmer, is mesmerized by whom.

I adore astrology literally one of my top five downtime hobbies but I don't believe we are our birth charts or that astrology has a final say. Like it's real but it's not Real. Consciousness, self-inquiry, and awareness are stronger and more fundamentally real. Everything is entangled, to see the world in a grain of sand, etc - so I have a little personal theory that the birth chart does describe a reality - but not a fundamental reality, because it functions only within the realm of positionality and separation / the one observing the polarity cannot be the polarity

I kind of had this epiphany at minute 42 of my walking pad hour

Maybe a better way of saying this is that the shape/repetive tension our finite mind holds, it pushes out - somehow informed by and informing the experiences we perceive(d) ourselves to be having, the defenses or strategies we cling to in order to navigate that, and then feeds into pre-existing attractor/resonance fields - atoms nothing tangible, an infinity of tornado-like vortices (so Like=Like). I think this is what creates what we call compatability, nothing fundamental, it's constructive or destructive interference with one's positional reality. But you can experience compatibility that does not lead you towards the Real - it can also validate the personality, reinforce strategic defenses, and lull the infinite to sleep

So we take shape in a way that brings us to attract/live out the themes of the birth chart because we will always find what we are being. But when we begin on the "Who am I? Who is the one asking?" line of questioning, the tensions of the personality (seen in the chart) are more appreciated as a perceptual leaning, our own psychic prism through which we experience the illusion of a self, mental archetypes, so on, and we see that all that seemed so dense and damning and real, is completely non-binding. Temporary vesture. The chart is describing the cage not the bird

Having too many strong opinions and being attached to branches of logic is a bit like being incapacitated, the opposite of intelligence. Intelligence isn't even the right word - I don't have the best word. Being lured in by mental activity, justified by mental activity, disgraced by mental activity. It's all insanity. You have to think less, or identify less with the activity of thinking, to know at all. Thought is always old. Too much thinking without aim = Death of perception

Wholeness and perfection is more of a dissolving than an efforting
