Terence McKenna knew exactly how to tear down the walls of this prison and take all the power away from our jailers. It's only two minutes long. You should watch it and think about it.

They think that they can do this sort of thing in perpetuity. Shall we finally prove them wrong?

I’m just going to say it again

We all have to live in America together. Stop trying to out-dark the darkness by venting cruel at others

The lesson isn’t that anyone deserves cruelty

The lesson is the way out is compassion, knowledge, understanding — showing that cruelty is as weak as it is hollow

Speaking of the Orphic Hymns:
If you've done a heavy-duty banishing, I highly recommend reciting To Musaeus right afterwards. This Hymn is a massive invocation. It invites the presence of almost *all* of the primary Orphic Gods, by name and/or epithet, and petitions them to grant us success!

Bee nap.

Fate is only fate if we decide that it's so.

Come on, my darlings. This is not our destiny. We're stronger than the monsters under our beds.

Breathing out love to all of you, the clear-headed and the blinded. I know we can do this. Love, Salome

"I have always felt that a human being could only be saved by another human being. I am aware that we do not save each other very often. But I am also aware that we save each other some of the time." James Baldwin, Nothing Personal.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Throw Echo away. Disable Siri. Smash Alexa with a bat .

Stop inviting techbros into your home.

For those equally intrigued by the concept of “The Hill” in The Telepathy Tapes, I recommend Robert Monroe’s work in his last book, Far Journeys, where he describes something called the belief system territories. #telepathytapes

Oh, golem golem golem,
I made him out of clay
And when he’s dry and ready,
My enemies shall pay

"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened."

I think of this in terms of how we think of people forced to live on the streets, and just generally anyone struggling financially.

We have a mythos in America that only the bad suffer and only the good and deserving succeed. The result is that the suffering of others isn't in many people's minds.

Happy Tuesday! Have a good one 🌮
