Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Hear me out: a Science Fair, but for the Occult Sciences. High School Cafeteria, trifolded poster board, but instead of potato batteries and baking soda volcanos, the projects are "The Four Classical Elements" or "Consecrating a Circle." C'mon now!

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.

why spiritual practice matters during the rising authoritarian tide

The Supreme Court’s US v. Skrmetti decision is a harsh setback for trans and gender-expansive rights. But let’s be clear—trans rights are HUMAN rights, and this fight is far from over! 🏳️‍⚧️

Dark times call for action, and for a broader vision of what can be.

Text: "The Rosicrucian Path helps every student to develop their own" vision," emphasizing their inner potential to raise and expand consciousness toward new levels of reality. If somebody does not believe that peace among nations (and not simply an armistice) is possible, or if somebody doesn't believe that peace among individuals is possible, or if somebody doesn't believe that an economy channeled towards the well-being of humanity is possible, then this person will eventually have to come to understand that their disbelief is one of the causes for the delay in its manifestation. Our inability to perceive a utopia (by thinking that it is an unrealistic whimsy) reduces the "critical mass" available, slowing its achievement."

In case you're interested in, for whatever reason, suppressing liars, I made a handy little template to go along with the charm from the Ana Riva book, "Power of the Psalms."
