Time is our most finite resource, slipping through our fingers with every breath. Bitcoin, in contrast, is infinite in its concept yet finite in its supply, a paradox that mirrors the nature of value itself.

Both time and Bitcoin rely on trust, time is measured by clocks we believe in, while Bitcoin is secured by a ledger we cannot corrupt. Yet, unlike time, Bitcoin allows us to store the fruits of our labor, offering #sovereignty over value in a world where inflation erodes the past and uncertainty clouds the future.

In #Bitcoin, we find a reflection of time's greatest lesson, scarcity creates meaning.

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

We often keep on tight to the things and think that we will have them forever.

https://image.nostr.build/7447c3b8460ce4631db76f717eebb184c85b295d5dec0c754687cd553d62115b.jpg

"We won't lose this body, we won't lose this asset, we won't lose this person, we won't lose this position..."

The truth is that, that there will be a moment, a second, when we will lose everything.

That doesn't mean, we have to be afraid of loss, we just need to constantly remind ourselves that everything is temporary.

This life - is a short stop of our journey, but the choices might accompany us all the way.

“Yes, you’re likely to fail, that’s fine. Because the goal of playing is not to win, but to keep learning. And the day you stop learning is the day you stop living."

The video below is a 10 minute video about sparring. But the reason why it's such a great video is not the information it contains regarding to martial arts. The reason why it's such a great video is that it explains wonderfully (and simply) one of the fundamental aspects of life - how the state of play is the optimal state for learning and growing.

Winners are losers who don't give up.

“Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense— he is "collective man"— one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.”
― Carl G. Jung

"Tähevärav" ("Stargate") is a lyrical stream of consciousness; it's wordplay and rhyme scheming, but its central narrative is the importance of confidence, staying unapologetically true to yourself & facing the hardships of life with courage. These are all themes and issues that I've been struggling and dealing with for most of my life and, the track serves, first and foremost, the purpose of being a reminder to myself to not give in to the pressure, to not give up, to continue betting on myself and what I believe to be true. Life is too short to let yourself be ruled by anyone else but your higher self.

You are the Stargate. You are the connection to the vastness of the Universe. It is all within.

That's very cool. I approached it from a "stretch and exercise" mindset as well, which helped me actually get into meditation, which led me much further...

I haven't tried the shakti mat, but seems interesting! Might look into it & give it a go. I did sleep on the floor on a regular yoga mat for 3 months straight at one point 😁 Kinda missing it tbh, I'll probably give it another go once I move somewhere where I actually have enough room on the floor to set up a mat to sleep on :)

For sure. Starting the practice of yoga itself a couple of years ago was such a gamechanger in my personal journey, really. I've done some studying of it as well, but consider myself still very much a beginner and amateur (even though I wrote a little philosophically-inclined essay on it not too long after getting into the practice).

But there is so much to learn from all of it :)


Nature is healing 🕊


The question "What is Yoga?" is as complex and elusive of a rabbit hole as is the question "What is Money?"

“Yoga is a particularly polyvalent Sanskrit word, which, in ordinary usage, may signify joining or attaching, a means or method or way, profit or wealth, a trick or deceit, an undertaking or business, mixing, putting together or ordering, suitability, diligence or magic.”
(“Roots of Yoga” by James Mallinson and Mark Singleton)

I recently came across this cool little video as well which takes us through the evolution of the word and the practice from the first records that we know of it, to how we generally perceive it today in the West:

Man this is weird. A couple of days ago I wrote in my journal:
“What if you’re right where you need to be? Isn’t that a scary thought?”
I didn't make much of it, but I was sure I had written the same idea (perhaps in a different wording) before. Then I see your post essentially saying the same thing. So I go back  to my Docs file of the best/most important thoughts from my journals (I'm not carrying them all with me anyway as I travel) and I can't find the thought in there! So either I did write it once, but left it out of the Docs file; or didn't write it at all, somehow had a false memory as if I had, and then wrote it actually for the first time at about the same time you wrote (or at least posted) it 😄


Yes, it's life and death. It's all life and death, brother. But not in a manic, fearful sense. It's all life and death in the sense that EVERYTHING MATTERS.

Officially 1 year of 100+ pushups per day 🤠 I started on October 15 2023, my initial goal was to do it for 7 days as a small challenge to myself. To my surprise, it wasn't that difficult to pull off, so I just kept going :)
In the meantime, I've travelled from Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) to Perth (Western Australia) to Byron Bay (New South Wales, Australian east coast) to Thailand, back to Byron, then Bali, Estonia and more recently to New Zealand. Didn't miss a day (sure, a couple of times I did the pushups well after midnight, but it still counts in my book). Where there's a will, there's a way 🤠

If you define hope as "expectations" then I agree.
If you define hope as "belief in the goodness of all human beings and thus a potential better tomorrow" (which is how I would define hope), then I don't agree with Seneca on this one.

To all those building, supporting, using, teaching, and advocating for freedom tech. It is unlikely you ever realize the true impact you make in the world through your actions.

You are bending reality to an almost unimaginable future with 8 billion people in service of 8 billion people

Names may fade but your impact never will.

Deep love and respect.

Try to do everything and you end up doing nothing.


If you're not paying attention to what's going on with The Internet Archive, you're missing a BIG story.  This is NOT good.  Currently they are under DDOS and this is after they're being sued out of existence for digitizing 78rpm records that aren't even available anymore.  They're facing a $600+MM lawsuit.  They previously lost a suit during the 'demic when they released digitized books for free.  The likelihood that they will end up shut down and entire histories of the net will be lost forever is high.


You being alive means you are one of the active co-creators of this reality, which means you can literally make history.

When you embark on entrepreneurship, you “add venture,” which it literally is - an adventure.


Some years ago I made this (very basic) edit of Carrie Cleveland's beautiful track "Love Will Set You Free" 🤠

What supports you when nothing does? Who do you turn to when the world turns away from you? How do you convince yourself that your work is important and valuable when no one around you seems to see it as such? For how long are you willing to keep faking it until you need external validation that you're making it? How do you overcome impostor syndrome?

The current monetary system is a Ponzi scheme.
But it’s not a Ponzi scheme in the sense that it needs more people joining it in order to continue (although a lack of people can be a big problem as demonstrated by China and Japan in real time). What it needs, in order to not collapse, is more units of the currency. Because the vast majority of money in existence today is debt - it’s owed by someone, to someone. What debt has is INTEREST. There always needs to be more new money to pay for the old money.
If the money growth slows down or goes negative (less debt/money is created than is repaid) for an extended period of time, there will simply not be enough money in existence in order to fulfill the claims on the money.
This is why deflation is not only incompatible with the current financial system; it's the biggest threat to it.


My vague comment about this particular episode doesn't really do justice to how great it is. Really, put on your headphones, close your eyes and listen to this. The whole episode is a trip in and of itself, including the bit with the dog.

“Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense— he is "collective man"— one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.”
― Carl G. Jung

CYPHERPUNKS WRITE


Sacrifices will go unnoticed, and that’s a ok.


“The presence of God as the Eternal Now is a truth which, at least in part, should be able to penetrate our consciousness with ease. God has made it that way out of love. When this is understood it is obvious that walking, eating, sitting, washing and working are done in God, may therefore be done in a contemplative way, to the glory of God, and thus done constitute the real translation of liturgy into life.”

— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit https://image.nostr.build/fcfb6b5b658d1d6e5602a82de52d896cbe709c3ceb39fe373eaabd71347041af.jpg


Philosophy is - phílos sophía - the love of knowledge, yes. The pursuit of truth, for sure. That all resonates with me, it has my name written all over it. But what really caught my attention was how - in my eyes - it also equates to a “way of life.” Your philosophy is how you relate to the world, what is valuable for you, what is ethical for you, what “good” means in your perception. So everybody has “a philosophy,” even if they don’t acknowledge it or perhaps don’t have a particularly intimate relationship with the aforementioned Sophia.

I think it all relates a lot to having a purpose. And similarly to when you don’t have a purpose of your own you will inevitably end up working towards someone else’s; if you don’t have or are unable to articulate a philosophy of your own you will invariably inherit or be subject to adopting somebody else’s.

Value-for-value is really donation-for-donation

It’s a gifting society

People put in the work, whether that be an article, video, or client

The input is time, energy, capital

In exchange people zap them, whatever feels right to them at the time in terms of amount, direct to their wallet

The output is stored time, energy, capital

This then begs the question: if one’s entire annual income is a donation, do you owe tax?

What will happen when a whole generation of young people wakes up to the fact that not only have they been robbed of the fruits of their labor, but also of their health, children, family, community, God/spirituality AND the ability to redeem themselves? Will humanity survive the upheaval? The flipside of this is - if there’s no upheaval, we are doomed anyway. #Bitcoin is the way to make that upheaval a peaceful one - simply by making things obsolete, as opposed to destroying them.


The solution is not to take down or destroy the WEF or the World Bank or the IMF or any other vague, yet menacing agencies.
The solution is to make them obsolete.

A certain degree of vulnerability can be extremely useful. You go for a walk, barefoot, you’re gonna have to watch where you step. So it helps you become more aware. Physical vulnerability helps us identify and mitigate outside threats. Emotional vulnerability helps us identify and mitigate inside threats, the things that trigger you. The old saying “strong opinions loosely held” also conveys vulnerability, intellectual vulnerability - really believe in what you believe in, but be ready to change your perspective if you are proven wrong or when circumstances change.

Epistemic humility and conviction.

You are open to being wrong, you know you are fallible. And yet when you see something clearly, you take the leap.

This seems contradictory, but it’s not.

It’s only a leap because of your humility. Conviction is only meaningful in that context, contains an element of courage.

Hence the earnest observation of a single person  >>>> the incentive-purchased dogma of all the world's experts.

#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 30

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men
doesn't try to force issues
or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force there is a counterforce.
Violence, even well intentioned,
always rebounds upon oneself.

The Master does his job
and then stops.
He understands that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to dominate events
goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
he doesn't try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
he doesn't need others' approval.
Because he accepts himself,
the whole world accepts him.

People tend to view art and beauty as additions and auxiliaries to the pragmatic, rational, regimented, utility-focused “real life.” I think it’s the other way around. Materialistic and rigid “real life” only exists for us to be able to fully experience and appreciate the magic of poetry, of art, of beauty, of nature, of life itself. That’s love. And that’s what life’s all about.

When I first was introduced to NOSTR, I was most excited about  NOSTR markets.

I haven’t tried in a long time, but to my knowledge, there is still not a market that works reliably enough to use.

I spent a long time building a market through LNBITS (more than a year ago), but it was too buggy to use so I gave up.

Has any progress been made?  Is there a reliably market built on NOSTR?

*I tried another one, but the sign up process required email address, etc.

The current monetary system is a Ponzi scheme.
But it’s not a Ponzi scheme in the sense that it needs more people joining it in order to continue (although a lack of people can be a big problem as demonstrated by China and Japan in real time). What it needs, in order to not collapse, is more units of the currency. Because the vast majority of money in existence today is debt - it’s owed by someone, to someone. What debt has is INTEREST. There always needs to be more new money to pay for the old money.
If the money growth slows down or goes negative (less debt/money is created than is repaid) for an extended period of time, there will simply not be enough money in existence in order to fulfill the claims on the money.
This is why deflation is not only incompatible with the current financial system; it's the biggest threat to it.


Someone asked a question basically about whether he should become a “content creator” on Stacker News today. Here was the top-off-my-head answer:
“I think the main thing you should consider is - will this content be valuable to yourself? Will it be valuable for your family and (future) children? Will you enjoy and/or learn something in the process of making it? Will you be putting yourself out of your comfort zone in a way that both excites you and scares you at the same time?
If the answer is "yes" to all or most of these questions, then I reckon go for it 🤠”
I think these questions are not only relevant to anybody pondering the same thing, but apply to different activities (especially artistic endeavours) in life in general.

Thanks for chiming in! Agreed on all of the points you made, I didn't go deeper into the fundamentals for the sake of keeping the post short & sweet :) I might collect all of my thoughts on the subject and expand on them in an essay or something at some point in the future, cause there's a lot that's in the feminine/masculine interplay and I feel like it's not really being discussed or taught a lot in this day and age.

The biggest feminists in the world are masculine men. Because they allow for the women to fully embody their femininity. The foundation of protection and provision they supply gives women the safe environment to be feminine; to be gentle, caring, nurturing, loving - without the fear of being taken advantage of as a result of doing so.


https://image.nostr.build/790c9fb6b045015e2f9a40335df9e5fa5a6d81a53b2ae51b99ed78c5b4a28ebf.jpg
The result of weak money, weak men, weak families and, of course, “feminism.”
I reckon this is also why women are so much more likely to vote for socialists and adjacent ideologies - intuitively, they know something is broken and that they are not responsible for protecting and providing - at the same time, they’ve been gaslit to think that having and supporting a strong male presence is supporting “the patriarchy.” In addition, in the age of soyboys and eternal manchildren, such a presence is probably not easy to come by.


Another thing about the “we need more women in Bitcoin” slogan is this: it’s just as stupid of a statement as any other DEI idea. It’s the same as saying we need more women in auto repairs or in the military, or saying more men should be nannies. It is perfectly normal and natural for women to NOT be interested in finance, economics and Bitcoin because it is NOT THEIR JOB to “protect and provide.” However, my point regarding families, communities and businesses stands: they do need to be WITH people who are in Bitcoin.

People conflate "having a job" and "working.” Most people who have a job have it because they need to pay the bills. Most people who actually work do it because they cannot not do it. The word "profession" in Estonian is "elukutse" which literally translates to "life's calling" - which is what work should be all about IMO. Also, people like to define themselves via their job - it's quite widespread in the culture (you meet someone, one of the first things they ask is quite often "what do you do for a living?"). Some people (most people?) haven't truly found themselves so they think what they do is who they are…

What will happen when a whole generation of young people wakes up to the fact that not only have they been robbed of the fruits of their labor, but also of their health, children, family, community, God/spirituality AND the ability to redeem themselves? Will humanity survive the upheaval? The flipside of this is - if there’s no upheaval, we are doomed anyway. #Bitcoin is the way to make that upheaval a peaceful one - simply by making things obsolete, as opposed to destroying them.


The solution is not to take down or destroy the WEF or the World Bank or the IMF or any other vague, yet menacing agencies.
The solution is to make them obsolete.


Great talk & a very important concept 👇

Vamos!


Hey everyone,

So during the weekend I launched a little side project called:

# "A Stoic Resurrection"
https://image.nostr.build/682ddced4e4c823dcdc28bd34cc920ce0802964b170f9fa08295a89afe08df6c.jpg

For now I will be sharing my favorite quotes from both historical and contemporary thinkers in the form of photos or short videos, plus some of my own thoughts, as I have noticed they seem to be very much aligned with the Stoic philosophy in general.

I played around with some ideas regarding the design and aesthetics, and settled on this kind of style for now:

*Photo examples*

*Video examples*

https://youtube.com/shorts/OMKKRQ4zNLM

https://youtube.com/shorts/UkFBFBniCp8

For now I'm using copyright free images from [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/) plus copyright free recordings of classical music via [Musopen](https://musopen.org/) (starting off with Chopin) for the content as per my *Open Source Culture* philosophy.

**The current goal is to post 1 quote per day on average.**

I do have some additional ideas for the future, but as I said, this is a side project and how much time & energy I'm going to invest in this will depend both on the amount of free(ish) time I have on hand, my current level of interest in the subject, as well as how much demand & audience there is (or isn't) for this kind of content.

### Please feel free to share your thoughts, criticisms, suggestions, and perhaps some of your personal favorite Stoic thinkers / ideas from both past and the present that have caught your attention.

**Oh, and of course, if stoic philosophy sounds like your cup of tea, please feel free to give the project a follow on your preferred social media platform(s) and/or show your appreciation with zaps:**

I posted this a while ago, but given some of the recent developments around the world, I think it is an appropriate time for a reminder.

BTW. I'm quite certain that the proliferation of AI generated deepfakes will be the next step in trying to convince people of the "need for censorship." Yes, it will probably get crazy. Yes, fake news and false narratives will become even easier to create & spread.  Yes, scammers will probably be able to call you, mimic your spouse/child/close friend and try to convince you that there is an emergency and that you need to send them money (most likely in an irreversible manner i.e. Bitcoin or Monero) ASAP. But, again, a central organization to govern over data is not the solution. The solution is common sense and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Here's a caveman-type method to avoid such pickles in the future:
1) Get your family together
2) Leave your phones in the house/car* (yes, leave them, if you can't remove the battery you can't be sure they're off) and go in the middle of a forest or anywhere else where there's no people nor electronics around
3) Agree on a "safe word" that you would use whenever there's an ACTUAL emergency

* this is a “worst case” type of scenario in which we would assume that the scammers\AI have hacked\gotten access to the person’s devices, or at the very minimum, messenger app(s) as well

Simplistic? Yes. Paranoid? Maybe. But I would rather be paranoid for a reason than carefree for no reason.

Stay wild & stay free, my friends ❤🤠

The world is addicted to alcohol, to sugar, to opioids… but above all, it’s addicted to cheap credit. It’s addicted to borrowing from future generations in order to pay for the stupidity of ourselves and our ancestors.

Nothing will change until we start living FOR the future, not FROM the future.

Remember the famous phrase: “DIVIDE AND CONQUER.” What you are witnessing, most likely, is the divide. It is an illusion. There is no division. There is no “us and them.” There is only us.


The why is the same whether you are much or little


Oh you’re scared? Good. You should be scared, if you’re doing something meaningful. But you should really be scared of not being scared. That’s when you’re being lulled to sleep. That’s when you’re not becoming everything you could be.


You can be so much, yet you choose to be so little.


Say what you will about algorithms
Sometimes that shit just straight up delivers
Since the embed is blocked, short overview:
"Kant You Handle the Truth? Kant in a Way Anyone Can Understand" {12 min 56 seconds}
"Dive into the ocean of Kantian thought, exploring his game-changing 'Critique of Pure Reason'
Unpack the philosophical mic drop that is Transcendental Idealism
Decode the Categorical Imperative (spoiler: it's the golden rule on steroids)
Get artsy with Kant's takes on beauty and the sublime
Explore Kant's other greatest hits, from 'Perpetual Peace' to his enlightenment rallying cry"
While I post a fair bit about philosophy, I have to admit I've barely read any myself, so I can't vouch on the accuracy of this guy's takes on Kant's work, but I surely enjoyed it as some lovely food for thought to accompany my Sunday morning coffee, eggs and sourdough 🤠

*or*

B) Revolt

NO REST FOR THE BLESSED


When people talk about “being grateful,” they usually talk about the good things in their lives; the things they’ve succeeded at, the beautiful memories they’ve amassed. Yes, we should certainly be extremely grateful for all of that. But perhaps even more so, we should be grateful for all of our failures and hardships, because these are ultimately the things that drive us forward, that really make us grow as human beings.

No one can let me down. It is only I who can let me down. Anybody else letting me down is a misnomer, because then, too, it was I who let myself down by having expectations regarding things that are outside of my control.


“The last great bubble is faith in central banks.”
― Michael Gayed

That is also true of bitcoiners, gold bugs and others who have learned about the inherent evils of the central banking Ponzi scheme. Because everybody still seems to think that central banks providing massive amounts of liquidity will be stimulative by default. And I get why it’s easy to believe that - it has been true throughout all of our lifetimes. But what if that stops working? What if the crisis gets so bad that literally all of the money they print, no matter how much it is, will go only towards putting out fires, both literal and metaphorical? To subdue protests, to provide emergency services amidst chaos and turmoil, to feed people who have lost their jobs (and perhaps families), and who are unable to put food on the table in an increasingly stagflationary environment? To pay off interest on national debts, to prevent the bond and stock markets from completely collapsing, to bail out banks (of course), to provide emergency housing, to introduce and enforce increasingly Draconian measures in order to suppress the uprisings, revolutions and capital flight? To hunt down and persecute the dissidents, the rebels, or whoever they deem is "to blame” for whatever is happening?

I hope I’m wrong here, as in - it does not get as bad as described above. But I think it is important to keep in mind that we are, from a historical perspective, in the Fourth Turning of a generational cycle and this sort of stuff is usually embedded into the societal shift that is happening.

Stay safe, stay sane, and most importantly, take care of yourselves, friends 🧡🤠

In case anybody has the same problem/question and you happen to come across this post:
I contacted Woo support regarding the question and asked whether Woocommerce Order Status Control plugin would enable me to do what I described. After receiving a useless AI-genereted answer and asking for a human to answer me (and waiting for a day), I actually got a solution from the support:

1. Install Code Snippets plugin if you haven't: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
2. Copy/paste this code into the .PHP section:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status', 'wc_set_addon_orders_to_processing', 10, 3 );

function wc_set_addon_orders_to_processing( $status, $order_id = 0, $order = false ) {

	if ( 'completed' !== $status ) {
		return $status;
	}

	if ( ! $order && ! $order_id ) {
		return $status;
	}

	$order = $order ? $order : wc_get_order( $order_id );

	if ( $order ) {
		$items = $order->get_items();

		foreach ( $items as $item ) {
			if ( ! empty( $item->get_meta( '_pao_ids' ) ) ) {
				$status = 'processing';
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	return $status;
}

Seems to be working for me!

Hey! Well I'm not actually a Kiwi, originally from Estonia, but been travelling for the past 4.5 years (mostly in Australia, I guess I'm probably part Aussie by now) and been in NZ for about a month on a working holiday visa :) Yeah well most of the world has been in a recession (or a silent depression) for quite some time now, it would only make sense that the markets finally start catching up to reality


Word. We need a good purge. Hopefully some zombie countries default as well 🤞


Recessions are a good and necessary thing for the economy to experience. Gets rid if the zombie companies just hanging on by a thread.

Yo #AI and/or #coding / #Woocommerce wizards.
I'm setting up a website on Woocommerce. Digital products are "completed" automatically on payment. That's fine, that's how it should be. But I also have the "Product Add-Ons for WooCommerce" plugin installed, I need the order status to remain in "Processing" in case an add-on is added to the product. I've tried ChatGPT and Claude.AI (both free versions) for solutions, I've tried exactly 5 iterations of ChatGPT + 2 iterations of Claude "solutions" - none of them work.

Obviously I've also tried finding another plugin that would allow for me to change the order status flow, but haven't found anything applicable.

Any ideas/solutions? Are paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude AI or anything else any better at coding?
DISCLAIMER: I don't know anything about coding myself.

A solution / good suggestions get zapped (obviously). 🤠

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
- Jiddu Krishnamurti


Great article! I've been thinking about writing something in a similar vein - i.e. how a "trustless system" actually leads to more trust being built in society overall. Haven't gotten to it yet though, but in the meantime, I'll be glad to reference your work if/when the subject comes up :)


Ohh it is way too late here for me to go into detail, but a few things:
Cannabis - I've smoked it daily throughout most of my adult life (not ATM tho). Didn't really understand how to use properly (although I definitely enjoyed the amplified sensory capabilities it introduces) until I understood that the main purpose of the plant is to help you achieve a meditative / flow state. That was sort of a level up moment, after that I found aid in it even when doing stuff people mostly don't do high - i.e. workouts. BTW Hollywood's "stoner" stereotype is so blatantly false and overblown that it's not even funny anymore.
Psilocybin - also did not understand it for a while. At one point I had sort of a spiritual experience with LSD, but regarding shrooms, I thought it was mostly "fun," similarly to cannabis I had experiences of heightened senses (but even much stronger, depending on the dosage obviously). Then, during one trip, I experienced both a complete "oneness" with everything; as well as ego death, whereas I actually thought I was going to die. And that the party we were throwing that night was not just any party, but my funeral 😄 Needless to say that really changed my outlook on life and made me realize the value of the short time we have here on Earth.
And not too long after, I had another quite mystical experience with shrooms, at a drum circle, where I ended up being in a trance for like 3 hours or so. In both instances there was also an inner dialogue between me and... IDK. The Universe? God? My higher self? My guardian angels? Someone. Someone that was me, but also NOT me. It's a bit difficult to describe 😄 Anyway, again, a completely unreal and mind-expanding experience.
While they were rather intense in nature, I do think these events gave me a new perspective on the whole game of life and I am eternally grateful for having been able to experience and learn from those layers of reality/consciousness.


I'll give it a read tomorrow, thanks for sharing 🧡


Amen. 🙏


We don’t “need more women” in Bitcoin. We also don’t need more men in Bitcoin. What we need is more families in Bitcoin, more businesses in Bitcoin, more communities in Bitcoin.

There’s an old saying: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

Until now, we have gone fast, and for the most part, it has worked out great. But in the near future, we need to get more focused on going far, especially as the incumbent system crumbles.

Humans are a social species for a reason. None of us are meant to do it alone. Our successes and failures are interdependent on each other. Times ahead may be rough but if we can take care of ourselves, our surroundings and the people around us, then no dark forces can hold us down or stop us from achieving the highest versions of ourselves, and consequently, the world.

For Love,
For Peace,
For Freedom
💜🧡🤠


Yoga (and physical activity in general) can have such an amazing transformative effect on your whole being, eh? :)
Congratulations, that's an awesome story! Keep going at it 🤠🧡💜


Lol I wish people could just learn to focus on things they control.
