 There is so much in the spiritual scene that does not vibe with me.

It just reminds me how pervasive the fiat incentives are, corrupting everything it touches.

It's not just the charging of access to content & tools, there's an element that doesn't respect the sovereign soul in all of us. Some communities seem to be advocating for waiting for a higher force to come save us from the mess we're in. Med beds & ships to take us to higher dimensions. It's like they're just wanting better masters than accepting that we're the creators of our own universes.

The obsession with ascending to higher frequencies feels like an effort to escape the heaviness of this realm. Why are we here if not to experience these lower frequencies? Why are they so desperate to return home, they just got here?
