I’m all for future legal repercussions for ICE agents, but that’s why they’re wearing masks. If they can’t be identified, we’ll have no way of tying individuals to acts they’ve committed, which means we won’t be able to prosecute them for their numerous crimes.

Last week was a special ceremony dedicated to the goddess Sophia, Holy Feminine Wisdom. It was profound, and for those whose spirits were already primed for it, deeply initiatory.

The more we realize our selves, the less they seem to be our selves, as if the world-soul merely wishes to reflect itself through our eyes. The less self-important we are, the more important we are as selves, with a unique perspective on the cosmos.

In the absence of movement or change, there is no time. Conscious observation of movement or change produces time, not as some-thing that exists, but as the mode of perception by which awareness measures its linear progression through these changes.

Who says meditation can’t produce knowledge?

be not afraid. focus instead on the bright day coming, when all will be returned to a way long before. the atomic love is all. it causes the wind to blow, the flowers to lean towards the sun. it is the sound of the waves whispering to the shore.

Can we recognize the presence of divinity when it’s manifesting right before our eyes? Friends sharing joy together, real joy… that is the literal presence of God. 🙏
