so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in

Hi it’s 🦇 anon!

This question is constantly asked and I think at this point the only way anyone can truly know is to just find out for yourself.

It’s a state of consciousness. THATS IT. It’s a legitimate, scientifically proven state of consciousness that has endless amounts of evidence on monks and heavy meditators that literally shows on brain scans that this is a legitimate thing. The Monroe Institute/Gateway Project is a huge source of information on it. It’s not a mystical experience. It’s not a far away land.

It’s quite literally you quieting your mind long enough to experience pure consciousness. That’s it. There’s truly nothing more to it. You can doubt it, but science is science at the end of the day.

Do people lie about it? Yes and it’s fucking annoying because they instill this fear in people that this very natural, very explainable, very REAL state of consciousness is somehow fake. This community has completely butchered the fuck out of it and turned it into some sort of magic portal into the ether, making it sound unattainable and hard to reach. I can’t even express how badly it pisses me off that it’s now viewed as something other than completely fucking natural. That’s not your fault, I also fell into the exact same trap until I got fed up one day and just dug into the science behind it and once I learned about it, it’s literally indisputable.

Science doesn’t use words like “the void” or “manifestation”. I encourage you to research further into it but using names that are more common because I’ve noticed “void” isn’t that well known unless you’re in this community.

I highly recommend looking up Dr. Joe Dispenza on YouTube because he breaks down how it works, why it works, provides studies and legitimate evidence. He’s extremely popular and for good reason. People genuinely have success with his teachings and I only recommend him because my friend literally changed her entire life after reading one of his books called “You are the placebo”. She’s actually the reason I even began looking into all of this stuff a few years ago. This isn’t an obscure thing I promise.

Here’s an example of some other names it’s referred to by either science or cultures like Buddhism, Hinduism, etc:

The Quantum Field

The Zero Point Field

Pure Awareness

Source Consciousness

Pure Consciousness

Christ Consciousness

The I AM State

Nirvana

Turiya

Samadhi

There’s so many more out there, it’s insane.

And not that my word means jack shit and I can only vouch for myself when I say this—I know for a FACT that it’s real because I’ve experienced it. I will absolutely NEVER recommend anything that I’ve not personally tried and had success with. Now, it’s ultimately up to you to decide if you want to trust my word or not. You have no clue who I am so I totally get why you’d be weary. From what I’ve seen on here lately with all the fuckasses who keep getting exposed for lying, I’d be weary too. I gain nothing from saying any of this.

Also, if I’m being straight up with you—I’m in my mid thirties, fam lol. I do not have the time, the energy, nor the desire to fuck with vulnerable people on tumblr. I’m literally on here because I want to be able to help as much as I can based on what information I’ve accumulated through my own experience because I can’t keep this stuff to myself when I know so many people need to know about it. It’s truly life changing shit. Plus i’m just not a fucking piece of shit lol.

So, I hope this can give you some sort of peace of mind.

"If there is one perspective you wish to adopt to aid you in seeing yourSELF as you are (awareness/presence/sense of beingness); it's to observe the comings and goings of everything (feelings/assumptions/thoughts) to confirm that you are not these things, rather than to 'have a big revelation.' You (SELF) are not waiting for anything; you already are. And you are watching this 'search' for SELF.

With this perspective, you'll be able to 'see' much more clearly and without the big emotions and narratives that makes you believe 'you' are trapped.

You'll come to realize that there's 'something' that never comes and goes. It's the 'thing' that watches everything come and go. You can't pin it down, you can't find it, you can only be it.

Stay with this."

Reality, living, it's all so much more fun if you don't take it too seriously.

I understand, my dearest little sprouts, it's rough, being a human is hard. Having to deal with these feelings, these experiences, it's not for the weak. Having to find a way to navigate life in general, combined with all the ups and downs it throws at you, it's not easy.

But after shifting for many, many lifetimes, after experiencing all kinds good and bad things, I stopped taking everything as seriously. And genuinely, I have never manifested this much, I've never been so aligned with myself and my desires.

This does not mean that some days aren't hard, that my feelings can't be overwhelming or sometimes I just want to escape this reality without expecting to ever come back.

But it's all just an experience. It's just, something I perceive, observe and ultimately it doesn't affect my existence in general.

When you shift your mindset from taking everything so personally, to a mindset where you appreciate and soak in the good things, but let the bad things slide off you, it becomes so much easier to live, but also to manifest and shift.

It's the whole ''Don't chase, attract,'' idea all over again.

An example of this is this;

A few weeks ago one of my friends asked me to manifest rain and let him know how long it would take me. I explained that I don't usually manifest to get something as quickly as possible, I just acknowledge what I want, and then let go of it.

So I decided I wanted it to rain, despite the weather app predicting sun and hot weather for at least another two weeks. It took like half a week, then there was a storm. Ever since it has been raining on and off, much more than it usually does around this time.

Rather than persist in needing it 'right now' when I manifested it, I just accepted that, because I wanted it, it would happen sooner or later. Which it did! No stress, no worries, no feeling like a failure.

Truly, you can shift in absolutely any way, you can manifest in absolutely any way. But don't make life feel too heavy. Find joy in even the smallest things. I know it's easy to be a glass half empty type of person, but that will not only make life very hard for yourself, but also risks you getting stuck in a vicious cycle of feeling worse and worse.

Life is just an experience, one out of an infinite amount you will get to observe. You're going to be okay💚

i think something a lot of people don't get is that years of mocking your child, even in jest, does in fact tend to get under their skin

a decade or two of even light verbal harassment is very much accentuated when it's an authority figure you are in every meaningful way subservient to

sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.

do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.

Hello everyone!

Last year I started designing a series of Coat of Arms, themed in the spirit of Pride Month and using different mythological creatures as heraldic animals. I now aim to turn these designs into wearable pins and will be running a Kickstarter in Julyto fund this endeavor!

In addition to these 5 designs I wish to be able to crowdfund enough to be able to also manufacture the following pins and identities:

I have found a very trustworthy local manufacturer, who has already shown the quality of their craftsmanship with the first batch of test pins I received, just look at the detail they were able to produce!

Since I try to support local manufacturers, which produce pins with fair wages and are more ethical than outside of Europe, the pins are more expensive to create than through the usual pipeline via Asia.

I therefore seek to crowdfund the expenses since they would be more than I can afford. If you are interested and look forward to support this little endeavor, please follow the link below to sign up for a mailing list. People who signed up on the email list and pledged during the campaign will receive an exclusive sticker set by the end of a successful launch consisting of the following designs:

[Image of text saying,

Some AAVE speakers pluralize 'child' as 'childrens'. People get racist about this ("It's already plural!"), but 'children' actually comes from Middle English speakers doing the same thing: slapping their plural marker on word already pluralized by an extinct plural marker.

To oversimplify: in Old English, 'childer' ('ċildra') was the plural of 'child' ('ċild'). Middle English developed an '-en' plural marker, which we see in 'oxen'. Instead of updating to 'childen', people slapped their preferred '-en' onto the end of 'childer' - so now we have 'child-er-en'. AAVE carries on this tradition with 'child-er-en-s'.

"Pure" language is just impurity obscured by the passage of time.

Adapted from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

What is a need? (Adapted from this article)

It’s important to be connected to our needs because true needs are always in our best long term interest. Our needs for air, food, water, shelter, community, companionship, autonomy, respect, etc. are all in our best long term interest to fulfill.

Wants, on the other hand, don’t necessarily correlate with long term well-being. In fact, many wants, when fulfilled, actually contribute to our long term detriment.

Put another way: needs refer to the conditions that must be met in order for us to live a balanced life; whereas wants are strategies we use to fulfill our needs. This is why needs inherently map to long term well-being, while wants don’t have such a correlation. Wants can either contribute to our long-term wellbeing, or they contribute to our long-term detriment. In order for our wants to be good for us in the long-term, we must understand which needs they map back to.

Ideally, we should be connected to our needs first, and our wants second. When we become disconnected from our needs due to past trauma, we rely too heavily on our wants to guide our decision making. The disconnection from our needs increases the likelihood that we will attach to wants that lead to our long-term detriment.

i remember that one time when one of my dream people told me “if you’re already in your dr, why are you trying to shift? if you’re already there, you’re just proving to yourself that you’re not there by doing all these things to get you there. just fall sleep because you’re already there.”

there’s no need to do more and more and more if i’m already there because that quite literally contradicts it. because why am i identifying with myself here, someone who is trying to shift, instead of identifying with myself who’s already there? the pattern won’t break until i break it first, wink

so apparently the dsm 6 is being structured around bio-pathologizing mental illness specifically in the direction of biomarkers…if u aren’t concerned about this maybe you should be…

DSM-6 Will Be Structured Around Biomarkers—Despite Acknowledgment There Aren’t Any

Psychiatry is hard at work crafting the newest edition of its diagnostic bible, DSM-6.

[sin0fempathy]

…so they’re now trying to search for “biomarkers”- which are essentially genes, or circumstances of conception/birth/what have you, that can “increase the risk” of mental illnesses. how is this any different from people wondering if there’s a “gay gene?” or autism speaks trying to find a genetic or reproductive “cure for autism?”

it’s not. this is barely disguised eugenics that they have ACKNOWLEDGED may (will) do more to harm than good for people with abnormal mental states. what else could the end result of finding a “mental illness gene” be than a reason to further marginalize those who are already marginalized, already branded as more likely to be (or even inherently) “mentally ill” and eventually discourage them to reproduce, either by coercion or force?

it’s more obvious than ever now. everyone should be anti psych

[ysmkinza]

Psychiatry as an institution functions to obfuscate the causes of mental and emotional disturbance (economic exploitation, abuse, lack of access to resources, etc) by describing mental illness as an individual pathology that needs to be recognized and treated by science.

Given where these hardships cluster most intensely, it is extremely useful to white supremacy and eugenics to have a "scientific" method of proving that pathology is more common among "degenerate" populations.

The DSM's various incarnations have corresponded to shifts in which part of this process have been considered more or less important to prioritize - the latest restructuring to focus on biomarkers is just a recalibration to better suit the needs of the imperial-capitalist white supremacist project.
