Small Tips For When Life Gets Hard

When you feel confused: Light a candle or incense, clarity will come to your soul. When you feel afraid: Get in touch with nature, close your eyes and you will receive the tranquility that comes from its essence. When your feelings are acting weird: Talk with fire, it is a master at transmuting moods. When you feel stuck: Talk to the water, it knows of movements, flows and doesn’t cling to anything. When your thoughts are running wild: Pay attention to your breathing, it will bring you back to the present moment. When you feel lost: Talk to yourself, to your higher self, you will be reminded where you come from. When you don’t feel like living: Talk to the Earth, she knows of rebirths. But never feel alone, since we are all one. You are accompanied by the stars, by nature and by others who wear a costume just like you to live on this earth.

Yes, it's true that many concepts and ideas found within New Age beliefs aren't "new." Many of them can be traced back hundreds, sometimes even thousands of years. The thing that makes New Age so insidious is what it does with them. Also? It just has a lot of shitty beliefs and attitudes packed into it, in general. New Age rips numerous people's spiritual beliefs out of context and tries to shoehorn them into a culturally Christian apocalyptic framework. New Age acts like it knows other people's own spiritual traditions better than they do. New Age promotes cultural colonialism and genocide by positing that people cannot advance and grow spiritually, or at the very least cannot "ascend to 5D," without adopting its beliefs and practices. New Age promotes anti-environmentalism by telling people that climate change is just part of the Earth's "shift to 5D." This no different from fundamentalist Christians saying that climate change is just God's punishment/a sign of the End Times. New Age discourages genuine scholarship and promotes conspiracy theories because genuine archaeological evidence, real ancient texts, etc. etc. constantly contradict their beliefs. This is because New Age is extremely literalist - Atlantis can't just be a metaphor to them; it must have really existed. New Age moralizes poverty, illness, and disability by blaming these things on having "a low vibrational frequency." This is no different from fundamentalist Christians telling people that bad things happen to them because they've made God angry. This post is not an exhaustive list of each and every issue with New Age. This is just a teeny tiny sampling of everything wrong with this movement. The tippy tippy top of the iceberg. If you want to learn more about what's wrong with it, I suggest you start researching the New Age to Alt Right pipeline. And if you think far right ideology is anything new in New Age? You haven't dug deep enough.

Too many people define religion as a set of rules instead of an emotional connection to something greater than the self

I don't know about you guys, but I'm so tired of cruel people.

Like, you know how much it costs to be kind?

Nothing

It takes more effort, time, and energy to be mean than it does to just say nothing. Why on earth do people care so little about themselves that they would waste their precious time being crappy to other people? I don't understand it.

Or capitalists, I don't understand them either

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter

tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on

truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that
